Since moving to Wayland, I missed ST. While there are many terminals available, most seemed too bloated. This has enough font support to be useful, but doesn't provide scrolling, t…

This was reported for Blender/Wayland, they might be able to use a fix like this: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/eaf63a35...

What benefits does this have over https://github.com/dandavison/delta ?

My own modal editing system for emacs: After using evil-mode and meow, this is a system I've come up with that addresses issues I ran into with both. https://codeberg.org/ideasman4…

Had a similar experience, tried to switch to Meow twice, it's really nice in most ways. But I found lack of vim-style repeat and accidental "dropping" the selection to be so unwiel…

This has also been going in in Libraries in Australia. Go to the library - toddlers Rush to play on the computer. I wouldn't mind so much if it was available for those who wanted i…

Something they missed out with the GitLFS cons is authentication, if you don't use SSH-agent, pushing involves authenticating multiple times, sometimes more than 2-3 times in my ex…

I remember downloading it from my library on a floppy disk (hoping the librarian wouldn't hear it the floppy drive working - since it wasn't allowed). :) It's in fact still quite s…

You need to consider * How much time you are willing to invest in learning something "different/cusotm". * How much time are you interested to spend setting up your custom layout. …

For some reason I've always had a soft-spot for the quirky Amiga workbench aesthetic. I find modern fonts, while functional to lack the character & charm of some of the fonts on ol…

https://codeberg.org/ideasman42/font-topaz-ng Re-creating a vectorized version of Amiga's system font. Since I've always found font's online to be unreasonably opaque, the glyphs a…

ORG's tightly integrated into emacs & it's ecosystem. It's fine but I don't think there is an equivalent to Sphinx for large cross referenced documents, with different outputs form…

Strange that everyone seems to think it's simpler, it seems might be a web-developer bias here. I'm not a web developer and I don't find markdown especially easy/pretty/simple... I…

Right, this is the one fairly clear down-side of RST, in practice I've found it's never been an issue - but it does seem like a strange constraint. If you really want you can defin…

Keep in mind you might not _only_ be exporting HTML.

I've written a few Sphinx extensions ... it seemed OK to me, a bit awkward but long term - this is the kind of thing you do rarely & use often, so how nice it is to write extension…

I've been using emacs as my main editor for years now and don't find the startup speed to be an issue - to the point I've never bothered with emacsclient: It starts up with ~77 pac…

Once this is working, is there a simple way to switch voices with the default downloaded models? Or does this require downloading other models or generating them?

When trying to input a larger amount of text I get the error: The expanded size of the tensor (4293) must match the existing size (512) Any way to fix this from the IPython noteboo…

The down side of this is you have to remember them, for some time now I've been writing with n-gram auto-completion based on a large body of text (including code-comments for proje…

In fact no, Python 3.10 is OK new enough. There is still the lag though, Python 3.10 was out for quite a while before PyPy supported 3.10.

If it was relatively up to date with Python3 I'd use it, but as it lags behind considerably I avoid it, even for personal work.

Are there any projects using this?

This article misses that there are pragmatists are not the kind of technology-disinterested "normal" people. An individual may have the same values as an early adopter, while havin…
