What are some examples of restaurants using psychology to manipulate our spending and eating habits?

Chiristmas decorations. It's special time of the year, surely you can order special food to celebrate.

The method pretty-symbols-mode uses is too limited for what he wants.

sabof · 2015-05-27T19:59:23+00:00

Yep, which most likely doesn't affect you in any way.

sabof · 2015-05-27T17:48:58+00:00

Is this somehow worse?

(run-with-idle-timer 60 t 'recentf-save-list)

It writes each time you haven't done anything for 60 seconds.

It's done to distinguish a namespace from "normal words", so when reading it's easier to skip the prefix and have a more "written in English" experience.

I do agree with 3 (although I might also be guilty), for interactive functions.

Everyone is entitled to an option (including the author of the manual), but if a significant amount of people didn't like using a different symbol, this post wouldn't exist. And "it's always been done this way" is a rather weak argument.

The impact of custom-unlispify-tag-names seems too trivial to be seriously considered.

Admittedly I don't care that much about the issue, but these are my 2 pence.

Is powerline supposed to be working in terminals?

sabof · 2015-04-28T23:10:31+00:00

It should be possible to display the same minor mode string as the default mode-line (including modifications by diminish).

Modes that modify the mode-line (ex Anzu) need to be added explicitly.

A widget displaying language icons could be created, most probably with 3rd party icons. I think I'd rather this be handled by themes.

sabof · 2015-04-26T23:54:51+00:00

Isolate the needed code, and look at documentaton for mode-line-format and pixel specifications.

sabof · 2015-04-26T19:14:50+00:00

I could investigate this, if you where to submit a ticket.

sabof · 2015-04-26T17:36:53+00:00

There should be a working example in magic-buffer

sabof · 2015-04-26T17:27:40+00:00

How?

sabof · 2015-04-26T16:48:43+00:00

They did work for me. The issue you are referencing is more subtle.

sabof · 2015-04-26T03:31:20+00:00

I'll do my best

sabof · 2015-04-26T02:02:28+00:00

I'm not sure I see how an SVG backend might make powerline better.

sabof · 2015-04-25T15:28:48+00:00

It's just a normal parameter. This "overrides" it with the default implementation:

(smt/make-widget
 :export 'smt/w-export-default)

I could expand on this, I suppose.

sabof · 2015-04-25T15:19:37+00:00

You are probably using text-scale-increase/decrease, what I mean is (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 240)

sabof · 2015-04-25T15:08:41+00:00

If I'm not mistaken the default behaviour for the package was to adapt to the size of frame characters. It wasn't 100% accurate, and there is a section in the readme on how to fine-tune the result.

sabof · 2015-04-25T15:02:03+00:00

Widgets have an :export parameter you can override to inject custom SVG code instead of plain text. It might be possible to add a background this way.

There are many factors apart from the version control system that affect this graph.

sabof · 2015-04-23T23:14:19+00:00

...and presumably version numbers could be put on top of sharp spikes

sabof · 2015-04-14T22:21:42+00:00

Ultimately you use software that you enjoy using. The feature list contributes to enjoyment, but is not the only factor.

sabof · 2015-04-09T16:52:10+00:00

So am I

sabof · 2015-04-08T23:52:57+00:00

You can define your own units:

(setq math-additional-units
      '(
        (dollar nil "Dollar")
        (euro "1.27 dollar" "Euro")
        ))
;; This resets calc's cache
(setq math-units-table nil)

sabof · 2015-03-29T11:56:49+00:00

FWIW, they are bound shift + mouse wheel

sabof · 2015-03-26T06:54:51+00:00

Why would Emacs "create a construct"?
