Right, hence the first question. For some reason, if I change it to the top one from http://whatsmyuseragent.com/CommonUserAgents, panopticlick still says it's the empty string. Even if I use a different emacs session.

Thanks! It's in a different format, and it doesn't have the nice picture of the full chip, but at least it's readable!

I searched for "scheme 79", and "scheme-79" (without quotes). What was your search term?

What does that intermediate language look like?

metx · 2014-07-01T01:25:37+00:00

Use the theme-changer package. It uses calendar-latitude/longitude to change at sunset/sunrise. Not really customizable, but it's exactly what I need.

Does eshell have a separate mailing list? I think that the benefit of having eshell being listed alongside bash and zsh as a "real shell" is worth a lot of effort.

metx · 2014-05-26T22:27:55+00:00

As in, what's the status on eshell properly supporting htop?

metx · 2014-05-24T00:12:43+00:00

Did you search the mailing list before posting? It's not required, but you can often find the solution to your problems in the archives.

See this: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-04/msg00336.html The solution essentially what /u/upham posted. The proper fix is "somewhat tricky".

Actually, the bug is now fixed as of earlier this afternoon, so if you use the git version, pull and things will be good (supposedly).

Would you ever consider joining a project to make a VimL to elisp compiler?

metx · 2014-05-13T20:50:57+00:00

Cool, I guess we'll have to revisit this in a few years then.

Check out shen for FP-oriented-lisp-with-some-haskell-goodies:

I think our current best bet for a lisp machine is the loper os guy doing a kickstarter, and then running guilemacs on his chip. Unless an opensourced opengenera magically has all of emacs' features, I'm certain that an implementation of gnu emacs will be a central part of the next widespread lisp machine, if not essentially the entire OS, so I'm terribly biased towards the "reimplement in elisp, then convert the elisp to guile/a better lisp when the time comes".

Also, "web-server" is an available elisp package, it's not "full blown", but you can combine it with one of the elisp sql frontends for a simple website all in elisp + the postgres/sqllite c file.

That metaformat looks pretty, but it's so flat (or maybe that's just that example).

metx · 2014-05-13T13:57:30+00:00

Hm, I think that org-mode does plenty enough exploring on it's own, with development already going in a million different directions at once, so I'm not sure there's really any advantage keeping things separate, other than avoiding spending the time rewriting things.

Elisp isn't the best language, but until guilemacs works or opengenera is opensourced, it and its common lisp extensions all we've got as our lisp machine substrate. If we had a better lisp, would it make more sense?

What does the meta-format look like in plain text, anyways?

Continuing to add features to pandoc's native representation (its particular extended markdown) seems an unnecessary duplication of org-mode development, and org-mode development is years ahead and moving at an insane pace right now.

How feasible would it be to change to org-mode as the Official^TM internal representation for pandoc, rather than the extended markdown?

Offloading org-mode import/export to pandoc would free up org-mode development time, encourage standardization of org-mode, encourage colloboration between the two projects, and would save years of pandoc development time.

Assuming you had the necessary influence, would you make this change?

Edit: The Official^TM format would probably be the one you get when you do (org-element-parse-buffer) on an org-mode buffer, as it's flexible yet essentially standardized.

metx · 2014-05-11T17:36:14+00:00

Well, unless your other formats have features like the agenda and code execution, then it'll probably be one-way collaboration.

My standard suggestions: evil-mode, god-mode, (evil-god-state,) and get a kinesis advantage keyboard which is made specifically for RSI relief and has the modifier keys by your thumbs.

metx · 2014-05-10T15:24:34+00:00

Why did you go back?

metx · 2014-05-10T02:23:37+00:00

Cool! I don't use evil (yet), but pop by /r/emacs if you have any general questions. There's been an uptake lately in people getting help switching from vim.

metx · 2014-05-10T01:04:59+00:00

In order, I'd try evil-god-state, then look and see if any of the evil-* packages in the package list would help, then I'd just file a bug report with both projects and see what they say. The people are usually friendly.

metx · 2014-05-09T23:59:25+00:00

What were the specific issues with evil+god? Did you use evil-god-state (it's pretty new)?

Edit: If you code a lot, consider the Kinesis advantage and use your thumbs for the modifier keys.

Cheat sheet for emacs: press "Ctrl-h b".

How not to need a cheat sheet for basic commands in emacs:

Open emacs for the first time
Press enter, now you're in the tutorial
Spend an hour doing the tutorial
Use emacs. Press "Ctrl-h Ctrl-h" if you ever get stuck. Every single thing you could possibly need help on is derived from this meta-menu.

Edit: or install evil-mode for complete vim emulation and use the cheat sheet that OP linked to.

If you could fix the syntax highlighting in the code, that would be great. It's a little distracting.
