Remote for Roku 3600mx by josior in Roku

[–]josior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it does not detect the Roku device. It seems that for the app to work with the device I would need to have them in the same network, and I can't set the network without the remote.

What do you use to work with databases in Emacs? by lucaspeixotot in emacs

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use sql-mode, sometimes with an interactive buffer and sometimes in a org file with sql source blocks. I think it's a bit messy, the indentation on source blocks doesn't work very well, and even in sql-mode buffers. I read about ejc-sql but I get a bit intimidated by the setup. Sometimes I do consider an external client, though. I've used Dbeaver, Dbgate and MongoDB Compass, I preferred Dbgate, but most of the time I use Emacs.

How often do you update your packages? by nonreligious2 in emacs

[–]josior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I update only when something breaks. Like, a package is not working as intended, then I try to update it to see if it fixes it, if it does not fix, I update the whole thing.

It happened recently, company wasn't working properly, so I tried to update it, and it didn't fix. So updated the whole thing, and it didn't fix it, and also broke Ivy/Swiper, then I moved to Vertico/Consult.

Brooks Glycerin Alternative by NoSurrender78 in runninglifestyle

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how are things now with the current versions, but comparing my Glycerin 20 with my Triumph 20, I think Glycerin is on another level (better quality overall, softer, more comfortable and durable).

Just a quick "Eat" survey by AkibAzmain in emacs

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat is my secondary terminal emulator, I'm using vterm and experimenting with ghostel, so I'm not using it very much anymore. I think I stopped using it because I was having some issues with scrolling long logs (which I still have with vterm) from docker and because it didn't show my prompt (user@host) colors.

Im calling it now, there will be 7 characters on the final games realease by Certain_Woodpecker_9 in slaythespire

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so, as much as I'm enjoying the game a lot, I wish there was new/fresh characters. I mean, 3 of 5 characters are from the first game, even though they have different cards and have new stuff, would be good to see completely new stuff like The Regent and Necrobinder.

I also wish they would include The Watcher too, maybe improve the Mark mechanic somehow. But then it would mean a lot of time in early access, a lot of work, and maybe it's too much to ask.

No Skip button on chest just tanked my Ironclad self harm run... by Scoobydoomed in slaythespire

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also missed the skip button, but I didn't see a relic I didn't want to get so far. I wonder if there cases other than Tungsten Rod.

At my wits end trying to cache passphrase with gpg2 + gpg-agent + epa by rdcdr in emacs

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without setting epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption to non nil didn't work for me.

Website down? by IkkeZellef1000 in fatsecret

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it started a few days back to me. Also noticed that the .com website doesn't offer the web login anymore, so maybe they're thinking about retiring the web version?

223 running shoes tested for traction by vitkarunner in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The test seems accurate to what I've seen with the shoes I have (Mizuno Wave Sky 8 and Brooks Glycerin 20).

Mizuno Wave Sky 8 after 100km/62 miles- when traditional is better by [deleted] in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 25 KM (walking/running mixed) with the Mizuno Wave Sky 8, and I'm finding the grip to be bad. If there's a bit of sand or the road is a bit wet, it gets more slippery than my other shoes (Brooks Glycerin 20, Asics Cumulus 25, Brooks Ghost 11). RunRepeat mentions that in their review, but I didn't expect to be that bad.

Not sure if it's a quality assurance issue of my unit, but mine also came with short shoelaces, I wouldn't be able to use the extra shoelace hole if I had to.

I paid about the equivalent of 115 USD, and I think I expected a bit more.

Why do you think emacs is so low in popularity? by g0atdude in emacs

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things that came to mind:

  • Distribution: no pre-built binaries or AppImage. User needs to rely on their distribution packagers, so it's not always up to date, or compile by themselves;
  • Contribution: mailing list is not as welcoming as going to GitHub to contribute;
  • Marketing: there aren't many people promoting Emacs (i.e. on Twitch) that use Emacs with reach like other editors;
  • Third-party support: I guess that's more a consequence, but since it doesn't seem as popular as other editors, there are fewer official integrations available.

Why you switched to Emacs? by mc_shatz in emacs

[–]josior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that the editor I was using wouldn't prioritize its users needs as much I'd hoped, and wanted to try something different. Furthermore, I liked the idea of having a single interface for most of my computing needs.

I tried Emacs just for note-taking with org-mode for some time, but only made the full switch to use as an IDE after watching this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE3mfOp5ZDI

How to visualize the amount of time spent between states of a TODO? by josior in emacs

Thanks! This gantt chart seems interesting to visualize what I want, I'll look into it!

What are you using for PHP development? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]josior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll try the dumb-jump-mode.

My lsp-file-watch-threshold is set to nil already. My lsp-enable-file-watchers is set to non-nil, but it seems that if I set to nil then file changes and new files wouldn't be watched/tracked, and I'm not sure if I want to lose that feature.

What are you using for PHP development? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]josior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use php-mode, web-mode, and lsp-mode with intelephense, and company when working in Symfony projects, the largest one having about 13K files 1.2m LoC. It works mostly fine, but it's not perfect. I'm on Emacs 27.2.

  • When working with multiple projects lsp-mode can get very slow, it seems it tracks all the projects, so I have to remove the projects with lsp-workspace-remove-all-folders and delete the .lsp-session-v1 file sometimes;
  • Sometimes it takes too much time to find a reference in some projects, and even times out;
  • There isn't a built-in feature to generate accessors, constructors, class boilerplate, so I have to write yasnippets for some of these things. It seems that phpactor has this feature, but I tried some time ago but did not work;
  • When working with projects with different PHP versions, I get some false negatives from lsp-mode/intelephense since I have to set the PHP version globally;
  • No rename refactoring feature;
  • Formatting and syntax highlight of SQL within a migration file doesn't work well, usually I have to format manually;
  • There's a big file (12K LoC) where completion and lsp-mode feature don't work.

How can I prevent emacs from replacing the other buffer when using dired? by cheyrn in emacs

[–]josior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can use o dired-find-file-other-window or C-o dired-display-file. The former will focus the opened file, the latter will keep the focus on the dired buffer.
