Streaming Day 2 of my Spring Lisp Game Jam project right now!
We'll continue building out the game world by adding a few game objects and possibly wiring up their basic logic. If we have time, we might start working on the interactive editor!
@daviwil it also looks like the GC wasm features hoot depends on have been mainlined by all the major browsers so people won't have to run nightly versions to run the games this time around
Today marks the 555th day of uninterrupted uptime of our Emacs.ch instance. 🥳
That's also 555 days of admin work and a spending of roughly $1200 for IaaS. Donations of our users make that much more sustainable.
With consistently well over 400 monthly active users, we established a friendly and supportive Fediverse community in the Fediverse united in a passion for the world's most humane "text editor". And you helped to make that happen. 🎈
Emacs is not just a program, it is the incarnation of freedom, self-development, respect, tolerance and companionship in the software world. It will never go away and will never turn against its users.
Let's continue to grow and strengthen our community! If you'd like to contribute, please visit our donation page: https://liberapay.com/emacs-ch
Together, we can keep the spirit of Emacs alive and thriving for years to come. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! 🙏
Trying out Gnus is a humbling experience that also provides a perspective on why people might not want to deal with Emacs, preferring alternative editors: it is not immediately obvious that overcoming a steep learning curve would bring benefits compared to an easier solution (like using a different news client). I just want to read my RSS feed, presented in a concise, elegant fashion, I don't want to battle with an UI that might've made sense back in the modem era
I am being a good little programmer and adding docstrings to some Elixir code. I hate looking at it. It so gets in the way of the code; see below.
I want an #emacs keypress that hides all lines between two regexps (One for @…doc…”””; one for the ending “””.) Weirdly, I can’t find anything. I used to be good at Elisp/Emacs programming, but I pretty much stopped doing that around 30 years ago. So looking for something similar I can hack on (or package that obviates the need to).
P.S. It’s my opinion that docstrings were a mistake. I imagine there was some hope that putting them next to the code they describe would help them stay up-to-date, but I am unconvinced they do. It’d be better to have a separate file which you’d bring up / jump to just like your editor lets you jump-to-definition. You don’t want to read the unformatted docstring anyway.
@marick I am mostly pleased with the XML Doc Comments in C# because the compiler (and the IDE, in real time) can tell you when you're missing things (like an undocumented parameter) or screwing things up (like documenting a parameter that doesn't exist). Not perfect, but I wouldn't want it to live somewhere else just because I like the proximity to the signature to see the issues in real time.
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
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.
