Burning Man culture draws a distinction between participants and spectators - one of the best ways to get the “participant” experience is by working and actively being a part of pu…

Beyond just playing the files from storage, I also get subtitles, metadata, play history / continue watching / next up, a nice 10-foot UI, and the ability to satisfy my ADHD curiou…

Location: Portland, OR Remote: Yes, open to hybrid Willing to relocate: No. Could be talked into commuting to Seattle. Technologies: Scala, Java, Typescript, Rust, Python, AWS, Nix…

I run emacs on MacOS specifying the `emacs-pgtk` build in my Nix config as the package. Seems to work quite well for me

They're fun little tinker devices, cheap enough that you can get multiple and play around with different form factors or loan out to friends

You'll note it specifies AMD devices, i.e. x86-64 architecture

I don't believe there's Bazzite or SteamOS available for ARM devices, which make up most of the "portable handheld" market in terms of device variety

MJ stays in your body long after the effects have worn off. You can test positive weeks after consumption.

>The problem is will you admit you were dead wrong and potentially spewing propaganda if democracy survives Trump’s second term? The answer to this question is the same as the answ…

The recently released Minisforum V3 AMD tablet has this: https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-v3

I got several morale game overs (one of them from a 12 year old bully, that didn't feel good) before I realized there's a button to take Magnesium to restore the lost sanity. So I …

One way would be to use emacs’ artist-mode to draw ascii lines and boxes then use ditaa[1] to transform them into images. It’s not a pretty packaged GUI app but it’s certainly an o…

Tenkeyless (TKL) keyboards are popular because you can keep your mouse hand closer to your keyboard. The tenkey is a easy thing to lose if you don't do much data entry. As for writ…

There are screen protectors with a rough/matte finish that provide some of the friction you'd get from paper. It's not exactly the same, but it's a discrete step above writing on r…

I don't know if there's a way to indicate a project with the built-in project.el without a VC root. The other feature i use regularly that I don't think exists in project.el is pro…

> I guess you have to globally gitignore the projectile file too to avoid committing them everywhere? Indeed, in my global git ignore, same with other workflow-specific stuff that …

Sure - projectile is one of the packages that convinced me to migrate from vim to emacs. It curates a notion of "project" and maintains a list of projects you visit. My workflow is…

Orderless is probably the way to go for a “pure emacs” solution - its selling point is that you can feed whatever function you want into the completion framework, so if you feed a …

At that point, I’d be project-scoping to individual submodules rather than the whole monolith. For something like projectile, that would mean dropping a .projectile in the submodul…

A .nix file is a lot like a regular programming language, except the "compile target" is actually something like a big digraph of dependencies. Each package is hashed based on the …

Nix aims to solve a much more general problem than homebrew. If all you want is to get some packages on your system, there might not be that much in Nix compared to brew for you. T…

The contrast between text and background is way too low. I have "good" eyesight and strained to read the blog post

Nit: It's a proper noun "Emacs" unless you're maybe referring to the executable "emacs", but at any rate the eMac was a computer sold by Apple in the education sector, and eMacs is…

FP in python is painful without tail call elimination and the higher-order function syntax is so clunky
