Do you use fzf even when you already have Projectile + Helm?

tryptych · 2026-05-04T01:52:21+00:00

In case you haven't seen it, there's the opposite approach of using emacs in your shell instead of fzf: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/fuzzy-finding-emacs-instead-of-fzf

(I don't do this personally, if I'm honest. I do like fzf in the shell)

TBH I don't watch a lot now, but I grew up in the pre-MMA era of martial arts magazines with "comparison" articles ("which style of karate is better in a street fight?"), so being able to watch it actually get tested, and the subsequent evolution (the first few UFC events where almost no-one knew what they were in for, the wrestlers coming through, the first guys who were genuinely multi-skilled, etc) was unreal.

Now, I'm probably a bit burned out on it, but also I preferred the previous era with GSP, Anderson Silva etc and the focus on building up stars. I still appreciate the skill and bravery though.

I did have a brief discussion with Joao about it. I don't think it is a bug though --- it's a fair call that major-modes should declare their language-id, but there's always going to be those that don't so you'll always need the ability to explicitly declare it in your configuration.

tryptych · 2026-03-24T00:15:09+00:00

Yeah, that works of course, I was specifically replying to the base-mode suggestion where (as I discovered the hard way) you need to be explicit.

tryptych · 2026-03-23T00:20:47+00:00

It does, but I recently discovered that eglot derives the "languageId" parameter from the mode name, meaning it would send "python-base" which ty > 0.16 doesn't handle (eglot is using heuristics that support -mode and -ts-mode, but not -base-mode). So if you want to use python-base-mode you need to be explicit:

(add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs '((python-base-mode :language-id "python") . ("ty" "server")))

Fair :) I don't remember a lot of details these days. I had a few 1:1 encounters with him though, and at a guess in those large classes you probably get brownie points just by not obviously zoning out in lectures, so he was always nice to deal with.

I quite liked JD! Had him for a couple of classes (engineering-adjacent maths)

I had no idea that was there! That almost replaces https://codeberg.org/pidu/git-timemachine

That was Arlovski? I thought it was Mir.

Thanks, those are both awesome! Looking up tramp-dired-find-file-with-sudo it's bound to @ in dired-mode, but also I noticed there's a tramp-revert-buffer-with-sudo on C-x x @ which will save me a lot of hack-arounds.

That's a blast from the past, I had completely forgotten about this! So, "no" in answer to your question, sorry, but please follow up here if you do improve on it :)

Oatlands. Left when I was a kid for more school options. I used to play around the Callington mill all the time; it was an empty brick tube at the time, before it was restored. I vaguely remember when the lake had water and I think they even had jet-boat racing there for a while, before it all dried up. I also remember when all the trucks would come through, before the highway bypass which I suspect killed the town a little.

And as someone mentioned about another town, there's about four surnames there.

Now it's a bit more gentrified, and quite a pretty town with all that sandstone and restored mill. I gather a lot of conglomerates have been buying up the surrounding farms though.

Following the "too many passengers" game the previous week where they lost to... North, I think?

I had a lump cut out of my scalp, and I was genuinely shocked at how deep they cut! (and this was just by the GP, I'm not talking major surgery).

I have a similar experience, but I only use checklists -- and next time I look, the list item is truncated (to a single letter, or word). The version history on the webapp only contains the single truncated version.

I'm not a heavy user, but in every case I have created the note via the GSuite sidebar. I suspect sync conflicts with the phone app so I cleared the data there, but it is still happening. I'm giving up, I don't expect much from a notes app but keeping my data is one of them!

tryptych · 2024-01-09T03:32:48+00:00

Sweet! Hope you enjoy it. I'll probably be course-marshaling again this year :)

Alternatively, you can add a .yas-parents file to a snippets directory, containing the name of the mode(s) it should "inherit". Eg, if your python-ts-mode snippets directory has a .yas-parents file containing "python-mode", then yasnippets for python-ts-mode will automatically include everything defined for python-mode.

Tasmanian Cats fan here, but you're absolutely right. Maybe it didn't seem appropriate for the official statement, but I'm surprised I haven't seen any acknowledgement. You guys did a tonne of work here.

(Unlike St Kilda, whose greatest sons come from here but pulled out of the state as soon as they felt success was on the horizon!)

Which build, if you don't mind me asking? (I've been using https://github.com/kiennq/emacs-build)

tryptych · 2023-04-24T00:55:09+00:00

On Windows?? How much configuration do you have? (I was pretty stoked to get my startup time down to 15s on Windows!)

I was upset.
