For the first time in...a few decades at least. Maybe ever. Emacs is regularly and unceremoniously segfaulting on me. Pretty clearly something to do with tree sitter, which is a bit frustrating. (#Emacs 29.3 on MacOS from brew)
Well, but the same applies to ALL of these functions. Use C-h f on consult-grep, consult-ripgrep and consult-git-grep. And you either see the C-u thing or two texts saying
See consult-grep for details.
And this text exists even for consult-git-grep.
And I'm fully aware that this is not the full solution, this is why I wrote "this is part of the answer".
One of the issues with the #REPL (and #emacs which is just a great big text-oriented repl) is that it is additive in nature; it usually takes major effort or a restart to REMOVE things once they've been added (thinking on plugins which modify app state). #Clojure
@louis there's https://github.com/federicotdn/verb which appears to be actively developed. but i never used it, because restclient.el is great and never let me down. maybe some happy user of it might pick up the mantle?
I'm finding some really interesting blogs out there, and am reminded of the early days of the internet, when it wasn't all monetized and people just wrote about stuff they were interested in for fun. And I had an RSS feeder and got updates when people posted stuff. Plus blogrolls.
So I'm sure there's a way to do this now in #emacs, right? Can someone point me in the right direction? I've heard about elfeed but don't know anything about it.
@birv2 A web-based service has the advantage that all my desktop browsers as well as the app are in sync with the read/unread information.
I'm sure that is also possible for Elfeed when you sync the meta-data as well. However, since I'm reading feeds mostly away from my computer, this was the better solution to me.
So I was a bit off my org-roam habits and decided to get back on track. Since my daily driver is macOS, I am using Railwaycat's emacs-mac formulae on Homebrew. And boom! #emacs doesn't launch even before upgrading due to some wierd gcc issue.
Tried to upgrade... can't compile because of libgccjit issue (necessary for native compilation feature which makes elisp work faster). Turns out there are some breaking changes from GCC upstream and had to browse published issue to apply some workarounds.
In the process I've discovered the --HEAD option for brew which apparently allows to get the most recent-ish branch for a given formulae. So now I have Emacs 29.3 over default 29.1 for this contraption.
PS. As I like the Emacs help system which can browse its own source code to describe a function, it wasn't readily available with brew. Had to copy the code from brew cache to some static location and Emacs just asked to point for the sources there, nice!
I ran into some go code that use build tags. My existing test functions didn't work. To handle build-tags, I defined go-build-tags in .dir-locals.el and used the variable in my functions.
A question for the #emacs community: Is it possible to use the Tramp feature to connect to a remote Emacs daemon? I ask because I have a file which I always have open on a remote pseudo-tty, but sometimes it would be nice to use my desktop Emacs with its nice proportional fonts and custom sizes to edit.
I want to connect to the same remote daemon so I can see unsaved changes and not have to worry about sync.
@noahf I want to avoid file sync because the buffer will always be open in one of the many devices I use regularly. Don't want to worry about out of sync copies. There is zero worry about crashes or power failures.
@hajovonta@amszmidt I fear I may have to just use Tramp. But it's not the end of the world. It just is interesting to have run into a use case that Emacs maybe can't handle. Never had that before!
Okay here's another Transient I've made a while back, in this case for Avy. A bit esoteric, but this has enabled me to get a lot more out of Avy than just using avy-goto-word-1 or avy-goto-char-timer. Wondering out loud if I should publish this on MELPA.
Also yes, I've read Karthik's post on using Avy wrong. I readily admit I'm not sophisticated enough to put filter-select-act into practice.
@kickingvegas
I think there's demand for them, these transients make life easier for many users, because it makes features more easily accessible.
I agree it wouldn't be a necessarily good thing to have transient libraries for the same packages though. I guess MELPA admins are aware of that. @mykhaylo
