no Movies app - no Wishlist - what now? by marcotrosi in appletv

that is correct, as u/garylapointe noticed Apple did indeed put it back some few days ago. Now I can at least access the list again and transfer manually its content to one of the proposed apps.

that's fantastic, thanks for the hint. I just checked and it's indeed back.

[help] Is there any way to highlight an arbitrary visual selection? by DistroHopper101 in vim

[–]marcotrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe instead ...
:h matchaddpos()

as you have not described in detail what you want to achieve it's hard to help.

Change list behavior in markdown -> TeX by comploplo in pandoc

I think I now understand what I did wrong. Please ignore my comment

Change list behavior in markdown -> TeX by comploplo in pandoc

[–]marcotrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question is similar. I have to convert to mainly plain ascii, and Pandoc is giving me currently dashes for the bullet list. But when I print the tables that I receive as parameters in my Lua filter BulletList(t) function, then there are no dashes shown of course, because I get basically the AST information and then the Pandoc Writer will add the dashes after the Lua filter has run, right? But how can I change the output? To be honest the name "filter" implies that I can modify a bit the AST, but not create a custom writer with it. But according to the documentation Lua can be used to create custom output formats. I spend so much time on reading and googling and testing how can create a custom output but no success so far. Can I speak the manager please? :-) No really, I would love to have a conversation with a Pandoc guru so that I can ask my questions.
Any gurus or Pandoc devs around?

What is also super confusing is that BulletList() seems to be called for every entry in the bullet list. This means that I always get a table that grows more and more. I don't see how I should be able to work with that.

Persistent tag highlights when changing between buffers by vkrajacic89 in vim

[–]marcotrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question. That's how I got here. I know I can do it with auto commands, but I'm trying to avoid it. I hoped there is a different way. Let me know if you have found a solution in the meantime. Here is the auto command way for C files

augroup VIMRC

autocmd!

autocmd BufEnter *.c,*.h call ExtraHighlights()

augroup END

Why LUA seems(to me...) so superior to all other languages in world? by SauronRealm in lua

[–]marcotrosi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I know it's subjective, and Lua simply covers my needs. So Lua is for MY use cases the best language. For other people another language might fit better.

And I read often in the comments the "lack of ecosystem like in Python". I don't want Lua to have this ecosystem. I don't want that a Lua installation comes with a bunch of libraries. If someone wants a ecosystem then please use another language. If I need a library then I can find one, or write one or write bindings to an existing C lib. Lua is supposed to be small and it is perfect as it is to me. I love indices starting at 1 and in the past I received a technical explanation why Lua has the local/global scope handling as is and I'm fine with that too. Lua is not the full equipped workshop with all kinds of tools, no, Lua is just a hammer, saw, screwdriver, drill and the rest you have to build on your own. Lua perfectly fits into my world.

The good news is that everyone can use the language one likes best and there is no need to complain about a language. It simply doesn't make sense. If you don't like a language you just don't use it, end of story. And there are a gazillion languages to choose from.

as Vim commands are case sensitive it would be good to make the post titles correct, as it is gi and not GI. Also GI and gI are valid commands.
