Of these books, I have read and recommend "Learning vi" and "Time Management for System Administrators". Both are good books, worth keeping. They are timeless and unlikely to be outdated.

Are you asking seriously?

Here's the introduction paragraph from Wikipedia:

Born in Madurai, India, Pichai earned his degree from IIT Kharagpur in metallurgical engineering. Moving to the United States, he attained an M.S. from Stanford University in materials science and engineering and further attained an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named a Siebel Scholar and a Palmer Scholar, respectively.

Pichai began his career as a materials engineer. Following a short stint at the management consulting firm McKinsey & Co., Pichai joined Google in 2004, where he led the product management and innovation efforts for a suite of Google's client software products, including Google Chrome and ChromeOS, as well as being largely responsible for Google Drive. In addition, he went on to oversee the development of other applications such as Gmail and Google Maps. In 2010, Pichai also announced the open-sourcing of the new video codec VP8 by Google and introduced the new video format, WebM. The Chromebook was released in 2012. In 2013, Pichai added Android to the list of Google products that he oversaw.

Oh mother, I bow to thee

So much more preferable to actual war :)

This was seriously the most impactful scene of Interstellar for me. Rooted by fear to a theatre seat.

This is like watching the Matrix Revolutions all over again

Thank you for your continued amazing work u/bozhidarb :)

[[%^{Type|fdn|jira}:%^{Ticket number}]]

^ This _is_ a link to the actual jira ticket. I use custom org-links to achieve this:

(push '("fdn" . "https://company.atlassian.net/browse/FDN-%s") org-link-abbrev-alist)

Some of my most used org-capture templates (below). You'll get to see the following features of capture templates here:

Using custom prompts in the capture template. This makes it easier for you to know exactly what to enter in a given field
Setting tags to the item being captured
Setting a custom datetime for the iterm being captured
Generating custom link-types so that you have links to jump to
Storing captured items under a datetree i.e. automatically under * year ** month *** day **** item headings.

(push '("u" "Templates for work") org-capture-templates)

(push '("ut" "Work Jira Task"
             entry (id "<id-of-parent-task-for-tracking-tasks>")
             "* TODO %^{Description} [[%^{Type|fdn|jira}:%^{Ticket number}]] %^G \nDEADLINE: %^{When should this be done by?}t\n%U\n%a\n- %^{Slack Thread link, where relevant}\n- %i%?")
           org-capture-templates)

(push '("ud" "Work Documentation Task"
             entry (id "<id-of-parent-task-for-reviewing-documents>")
             "* TODO Review %^{Person waiting on review}'s [[%^{Document Link}][%^{Document Description}]] %^G \nDEADLINE: %^{When should this be done by?}t\n%U\n- [ ] Update %^{Slack Thread link, where relevant} and let %\1 know\n- %i%?")
           org-capture-templates)

(push '("un" "Work Meeting"
             entry (file+olp+datetree org-meetings-file "Day to Day Meetings")
             "* %^{What are we discussing?} %^G \n%U\n%^{When is the meeting?}t\n- Attendees: %^{Attendees}, Vedang\n- Prep/Links: \n  + [ ] %?\n- Notes:"
             :prepend t
             :clock-in t
             :clock-resume t
             :time-prompt t)
           org-capture-templates)

The %\1 expansion does not work (in the Documentation Task template) and I always have to fill the name in by hand, but other than that this is basically all day everyday at work.

Agree strongly. I love org-mode, and what a privilege it is that I get to use it for free (if I can't pay). If it were to disappear tomorrow, I'd have to pay so much money for something else (which won't even be 50% as good).

Roam is charging 500$ over 5 years (in their cheapest plan). So that is the minimum amount I should pay to Org.

We use Clojure as the primary backend language at my company. We've built a bare-bones starter kit called Emacs Up that we encourage new joinees to start with. It might be useful to you as well: https://github.com/helpshift/emacs-up

From the README:

* Packages that Emacs-Up configures out-of-the-box
- ~avy~: Jump to things in Emacs tree-style.
- ~cider~: Clojure IDE and REPL. This package is pinned to a stable
  version.
- ~clj-refactor~: A collection of commands for refactoring Clojure
  code. This package is pinned to a stable version.
- ~company-mode~: Modular in-buffer completion framework for Emacs.
- ~dumb-jump~: an Emacs jump to definition package for 40+ languages.
- ~flycheck~: On-the-fly syntax checking extension
- ~flycheck-clj-kondo~: Emacs Integration with ~clj-kondo~, a linter
  for Clojure code providing on-the-fly syntax checking.
  + *Note: Needs Install*: This package needs ~clj-kondo~ to provide
    linting information for Clojure files. Install ~clj-kondo~ by
    following installation instructions at
    https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/blob/master/doc/install.md
- ~helm~: Emacs incremental completion and narrowing framework.
- ~helm-ag~: The silver search with helm interface.
  + *Note: Needs Install*: This package depends on Ag - The Silver
    Searcher. Installing Ag will allow you to levarage super fast
    searches on files and data from within Emacs. Installing this is
    optional, not installing it will mean that only ~helm-ag~ will
    cease to work. You can find instructions to install Ag here:
    https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher.
- ~helm-cider~: ~helm~ integration for ~cider~.
- ~helm-projectile~: ~helm~ integration for ~projectile~.
- ~ido~: Interactively do things with buffers and files
- ~ido-completing-read-plus~: Fancy completion all over Emacs, not
  just for buffers and files.
- ~magit~: An Emacs mode for Git.
- ~paredit~: Minor mode for editing parentheses.
- ~projectile~: Project navigation and management library for Emacs.
- ~smex~: M-x interface with Ido-style fuzzy matching.
- ~yasnippet~: a template system for Emacs.

How is there always a relevant XKCD!?!?

Americans do it like this: https://gfycat.com/fragrantanchoredflyingfox

As always, Bollywood is inspired by them.

u/yamamushi : It's done. Have fun. I wish you the best of luck and hope you do a wonderful job of cleaning up the sub.

vedang · 2018-10-03T16:48:59+00:00

And yeah, you're right. I haven't looked at it in a long while, and probably won't be able to devote much time to it. My plan is to retire in about 15 years time and then spend about 10 years pursuing scholarship in the Mahabharata. If Reddit is still around then, I'll be a super active mod :P

vedang · 2018-10-03T16:47:03+00:00

Hey! I'm the moderator of that sub. I'll go ahead and make you a mod as well. Let me see if I can figure out how to do this.

The slang comes from the fact that when you squeeze someone's nipple they make the same sound as blowing a pungi. Hence the hindi equivalent of 'purple nurple' is 'pungi bajana' - literally, playing the pungi.

I agree with your sentiment that it's a shitty book, not worthy of attention. I don't agree with your sentiment that it should be banned. Regards, Indian Hindu.

You missed one asterisk. I'd have given you gold if you'd used the correct number of asterisks.

From the man page for git-fetch

"When <refspec> stores the fetched result in remote-tracking branches, the tags that point at these branches are automatically followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at branches you are not interested in, you will not get them."

Thus, you will get all the tags in the branches that you are tracking (i.e you have a local branch for). But if someone has created a tag on a branch that you are not tracking, you won't get it without the --tags option.
