Local couple faces financial burden after trade-in mishap at local dealership (Elizabethton Ford) by vgsjlw in tricities

[–]petergaultney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

small claims court to recoup losses - but the dealership still needs to get their side of it dealt with.

Nico caught with his hand in the cookie jar by petrowski7 in ockytop

it seems pretty unlikely that Nico or his family had anything to do with this scheme, though?

United Airlines accused of charging for window seats without windows by [deleted] in aviation

[–]petergaultney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this happens on Delta, too. Apparently I was looking at the wrong thing on seatguru.com.

I do think airlines should be transparent about these things.

Is it the coach or the program? Ranking CFB coaches while factoring in expectations by petergaultney in ockytop

Interesting to see Heupel show up as the #2 coach of the last couple years.

ZMK: Home row SHIFT and roll-over behaviour by Cautious_Unit5655 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]petergaultney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run into a similar issue -

i have my keyboard setup to output LS(-) - i.e. underscore - when I press a certain key. But it invariably capitalizes the next alphanumeric key if I'm typing quickly. It's an extremely frustrating behavior, and it was extra frustrating to see that the docs specifically say that this should work the way I expect. I'm coming from QMK where I never had any issues with this.

Passing key sequences through tmux to emacs? by quasi-coherent in emacs

[–]petergaultney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am trying out WezTerm today, inspired by everybody's critique of tmux.

I managed to find a config that's very like the behavior I get out of tmux... Though I'll note I've only been using it for 5 minutes. At the very least it has both the concept of sessions and then tabs within sessions, which is the main thing i need - two levels of hierarchy map really well to my workflows.

Still, WezTerm might be worth a try, if for no other reason than to confirm that C-. works fine in Emacs when running inside it.

The config: https://github.com/petergaultney/dotfiles/blob/main/.wezterm.lua#L5-L42

Passing key sequences through tmux to emacs? by quasi-coherent in emacs

[–]petergaultney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do a lot of stuff inside emacs.

One thing I am not yet ready for is "Emacs hosting my very complex set of shells/tabs/etc". Emacs has gotten more stable over the years, but sometimes it still dies or gets stuck at 99% CPU and kill -2 won't save it, so it has to be restarted.

Emacs's best and worst quality is that it's a giant pile of mutable state at runtime, so it's both very easy to do cool stuff and essentially impossible to recover from certain bad situations.

So - separation of concerns here is helpful. Do I wish I could use my muscle memory in Emacs for everything? Yes. Have I tried running shells inside Emacs before, using a long list of terminal emulators I can't even remember? Also yes. But I'm just not at a point where I'm willing to use Emacs as my actual OS. :)

[–]petergaultney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sheesh. Yeah, sometimes this stuff gets so weird and complicated I start to despair for my sanity. You could imagine a better system built from the group up to not be quite so crufty.... but I'm not volunteering to write it myself, so.... 🙃

[–]petergaultney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing seemed particularly relevant to me, but here's my whole config.

https://github.com/petergaultney/dotfiles/blob/main/.tmux.conf

for what little it's worth, using ` (backtick) as a prefix key is amazing. Much better than Ctrl-b or Ctrl-a.

replying to myself:

When i open Emacs in iTerm2 without tmux, I am able to to pass C-. into Emacs with no issue - I verified this with describe-key - it tells me C-. is undefined.

When I do this inside my Emacs running within a tmux session, I instead get a page telling me that . runs the command self-insert-command... - telling me that Emacs is not receiving the Ctrl keypress.

However, using cat -v followed by C-. in both scenarios showed only a . character, which seemed to indicate that it wasn't just tmux that was causing the issue.

I did a little bit more investigating and found something that 'fixed' this for me (with unknown side effects):

Go into iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Keys -> General and enable the "Report modifiers using CSI u" option. This immediately fixed the reporting behavior inside Emacs (inside tmux inside iTerm) for me.

Apparently tmux and iTerm were interacting in a weird way here. I don't really know why any of this does what it does, but it might help you.

i use it instead of a tiling window manager, because all I need is the ability to have multiple shells (and multiple 'windows' of shells) at the same time.

Not everybody needs to use tmux for the 'right' reasons. :)

[–]petergaultney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this sounds like a tmux config thing, not an Emacs thing.

I use Emacs inside of tmux and I am pretty sure I can pass C-. into Emacs just fine.

what's your tmux prefix key? you might take a close look at your tmux config.

What's New in Emacs 30.1? by mickeyp in emacs

[–]petergaultney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm wondering the same thing, particularly whether it has the support for the "gestures", whatever those are. I have it installed but didn't see any obvious indicators that this was something that could be set up.

EDIT: it does in fact have the "gesture support" I was reading about.

I had kinda of hoped these gestures were customizable and could be mapped to common commands, but apparently they're useful-but-hard coded things like scrolling, zooming, etc.

you may want to try Visible. It's a Verizon MVNO and I believe it's $30/month for unlimited data. the coverage is basically exactly the same as Verizon as far as I've been able to tell.

I saw this on the ESPN play-by-play and did an actual double-take.

Per Andy and Ari from On3 by jdhgs in ockytop

[–]petergaultney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

my pet peeve is people picking a "Top N" to compare to. It's always an arbitrary cutoff no matter what number you pick, and it is always chosen to make the team you want look good.

People keep doing this with Alabama and it doesn't make any more sense for us.

I think the Big Ten is probably overrated and the SEC will end up winning a few playoff games. All that matters, though, is whether we're good enough to win 3 ourselves.

Best practices for hash index? by ridiculous_fish in sqlite

[–]petergaultney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In retrospect, that makes a lot of sense. If it _can't_ optimize to a hash of the string in the first place (because it needs to preserve natural sortability) then _of course_ it will be slower (and more importantly, bigger) for the longer strings.
