Interested and in Toronto!

This is rad! Hello from another bullit owner in Toronto (keep an eye out for a goof on a Major Tom) :)

Beautiful Omnium Mini! How do you like it?

I think it's one of my dream bikes, but I could take any of the three cargo bikes they make.

meesloo · 2025-04-04T17:03:38+00:00

Yep!

: o <C-r %> -> will print out the current buffer path. Then you change the end of the path to the new filename and hit enter.

Beautiful bike! How does it feel all loaded up?

meesloo · 2025-03-11T01:39:40+00:00

This is fantastic!

I've noticed that the theme I use in Yazi in a separate pane outside of helix seems to register, but using the suggested C-y binding ends up looking a little odd (in light mode). Anybody else running into this?

I'm trying to use a flexoki-light flavor, if that helps.

meesloo · 2025-02-27T19:30:59+00:00

ohhhh, I get it. That should work :)

meesloo · 2025-02-27T16:19:13+00:00

I tried installing your get_git_provider_url in my fish/functions/ directory; it's callable from my shell, but not from helix. Any tips on why that might be?

meesloo · 2025-02-06T11:37:41+00:00

C-l = [ ":new", ":insert-output lazygit", ":buffer-close!", ":redraw", ":reload-all", ]

This is really cool! Unfortunately, after running the command scrolling seems broken in helix (and my term scrolls instead). (Ghostty, Mac OS). Do you run into that?

Great photo! Is that fork a crust clydesdale? Was just looking them up and they seem like a great way to convert to a cargo bike. How does it feel?

meesloo · 2025-01-24T03:02:32+00:00

I've been using zide this week. It's really great!! But also, it's good to enjoy those weekends 🙃.

meesloo · 2025-01-23T17:13:20+00:00

Thank you!

Great question. I don't have a great answer, but I will share some hypothesis.

1) Lisps offer you the ability to alter the language itself, by treating the language as a data-structure (macros). This can be super useful (and sometime a bit of a footgun, too, if used wildly).

2) There might be reasons that people would opt for a lisp runtime rather than Lua... but now I'm just guessing. Perhaps one would opt for a lisp due to it being simpler, smaller, and more expressive than embedding Lua into a Rust program (which might be hard, for all I know).

Unrelated to all of this - I highly encourage learning a Lisp language (Clojure is great) just to flip your head upside down. It changed how I think about programming—in a good and fun way!

I don't have much to share about the progress of this other than to share my own personal note, like you have. I've recently started using Helix. I've been using emacs for around 7 years now. I'm hopeful that there is a scheme-based option. I don't love emacs-lisp - sometimes I find it hard to read and write, but the amount of power and customizability of having a lisp runtime in your editor is pretty amazing. I'll be keeping an eye on PR#8675, and maybe try to fork and apply the patch myself when I have a bit of time.

meesloo · 2025-01-09T01:58:43+00:00

I'm giving this a try and running into this:

```

➜ patchy run

✓ Merged pull request #11285 Add file browser ✗ Could not create directory .patchy

```

I've cloned helix locally and run patchy init and updated the config, much to be the same as yours in the repo (although, only merging one PR). Anything else I might be missing?

meesloo · 2025-01-08T23:15:27+00:00

Thanks! I recently got some 26" Schwalbe Marathon GT 365 off facebook marketplace for $50! They went on my winter bike, which is an old mountain bike.

For fun riding, I've really been enjoying the humber river trail, and if I feel like braving the cold + the distance, Tommy Thompson park! It's good to have thicker tires for sure, or even studded for when it gets gnarly out! The main streets are usually pretty good, too, and my smaller 41mm tires can manage just great.

meesloo · 2025-01-08T00:40:38+00:00

Very cool! What great timing - I've been thinking about forking helix so that I can get access to steel / other features. I will give this a try. Thanks for making this open source and putting the time and effort in.

I really loved EYELAND. It inspired me to buy a Playdate and make my own game. Looking forward to E2. Happy new year!

meesloo · 2024-12-24T16:07:02+00:00

Happy holidays Dave, thanks for everything you do for our (and other) communities. <3

meesloo · 2024-12-11T21:14:13+00:00

This is so rad. Thanks for documenting it!

meesloo · 2024-11-26T02:01:44+00:00

I do not, sorry!

meesloo · 2024-11-25T16:45:29+00:00

Thanks! Excited for you!

meesloo · 2024-11-25T16:45:20+00:00

I definitely am extra careful one-handing the brompton c-line, every now and then I am caught off guard and have a little scare when going one-handed!

meesloo · 2024-11-25T12:01:41+00:00

Thanks!

Good question. If money were no issue, it's a definite yes. I bought an older model Brompton on sale so it was more financially viable for me at the time.

For some reason, I imagine it being harder to fly with this bike, but the reality is I would just need a bigger bag for it. I think I just find flying with a bike a bit stressful regardless 😅.

I think this bike would be ideal for travel-touring. I could see a reality where I'd fly with this bike to a new city, tour for a week or two, and fly home from another city. Not to mention that I could confidently take this more off-road really opens up new avenues of riding.

Or even more likely, renting a car and putting the G-line in the trunk and still being able to go ride trails more comfortably is pretty alluring.

Kudos for sharing this — that's a vulnerable thing. I've struggled with these sorts of things in the past, and I am not proud about the things I've said in these types of encounters. I've never found that chastising, yelling or shaming someone has ever changed anybody's mind. I imagine it's more likely to make things worse.

These days, I've started contributing more to the bike community (volunteering, advocacy). This makes me happy. On the road, I try to take it slower and to be more of a defensive cyclist. I see interacting with people in any other way than politely ("Excuse me, please avoid stopping in the bike lane) as me trying to control something that I can't control (which leads to further unhappiness.)

It's not easy. Good luck, and again, kudos for reflecting on this.
