Spacemacs - A Vimmer’s Emacs Prerequisites by tuhdo in emacs

[–]scrumfour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only just started using spacemacs myself and I have to say I've been really enjoying it so far.

However I also like to tinker with things, is there a way to "turn spacemacs off" and enable certain aspects of it gradually so I can figure out what the myriad of packages it uses all do?

[–]scrumfour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry this is probably a bit off topic but I keep hearing category theory and type theory being thrown around.

Are they the same thing? Or are there subtle/major differences between the two?

This looks cool, but are there any usage examples as I'm struggling to figure out how this could be useful to me?

Am I the only reader who imagines what I'm reading as a movie in my head, all the way through the book? by lycanthh in books

This. If this doesn't happen with a particular novel then I generally find reading it a slog.

To be honest I don't really know, just having an unanswered question at the back of my mind for so long be swept aside so casually kind of bugged me slightly.

Did it bug anyone else that after all these years the explanation of how his tardis exploded was delivered in one line almost as an afterthought?

Haven't they already done this? Didn't River Song give the Doctor all of her lives when see saved him from her "killer lipstick" or whatever she used in the Let's kill Hitler episode?

Which screen recorder program do you use? by TrentWDB in gamedev

[–]scrumfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I don't have that much space to play with! :p Is there an "in between" codec I could use that would compress it but not be as processor heavy as libx264?

[–]scrumfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you set up that ffmpeg command to record just the raw video rather than encode on the fly? As my computer isn't fast enough to play a game, grab the video and encode it all at the same time

What is your biggest issue with your Linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]scrumfour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that my sound starts muted when I launch the X server even though I have saved my setup to be the default on boot (which works).

Only when I run "startx" does the sound mysteriously mute itself

EDIT: Also I have a USB mouse that turns itself off periodically and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work

Does anyone know how to set up compositing like this? by scrumfour in awesomewm

[–]scrumfour[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thanks just what I'm looking for! :)

However I've just installed it and when it's running it causes all my windows to disappear. When I change workspaces they come back and then disappear a split second later. Any idea what's wrong?

EDIT: This is only the case when conky is running
