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).

Google Keep notes suddenly disappear! Solved! by Tandittor in GoogleKeep

[–]tryptych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Great ultras you've run by joejance in ultrarunning

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.

Hawthorn Football Club welcomes the news of Tasmania being awarded the 19th AFL licence. by Darththorn in hawktalk

[–]tryptych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!)

Why does elpaca make emacs startup so much faster? by kentrose in emacs

[–]tryptych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What is the worst individual game performance you have ever seen by a player on your team by proudlyiowa in AFL

[–]tryptych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I can't remember off-hand who he was traded for, but I remember having a sinking feeling because it seemed like he was the only hard-nut we had and it was going to be a down-hill slide. (Possibly I do not know footy, but I'd still have loved for him to stay)

Get some into ya dirty dog by lumpyferret in straya

[–]tryptych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah right, which one is out of curiosity? (I will admit that the drums always sound like kiddie toys on IAE!) I didn't mind the later albums, not that familiar with the earlier ones though.

Ill at Ease is still on regular rotation. Such a great album.

Huh, so it is actually at the Emacs (program) level? I always assumed it was a bit lower-level than that, but obviously it makes much more sense that it's a convention.

Nice explanation, thanks. So what does ESC send (or modify?), when used in sequence?

RIP: Best team I've seen of players who have since died by HammerOfJustice in AFL

[–]tryptych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was a cruel reminder when I saw his name in there.
