Productivity increases with the level of customization you are making in the tools you are using most often.
The downside is that the more used to these customizations you get, the more lost you'll feel when
using a system that is not configured as yours.
Simple example: create a new binding in #Vim or #Emacs. This is not only very common but
also very encouraged. After getting used to that, connect to a remote server.
I am a bit confused by the advice on training I'm reading about.
On one side, there are studies saying to avoid training to failure. (this applies to non-hypertrophy training).
On the other hand, others say that endurance training requires sets to failure.
@al3x as far as understood it: there are several contradictory stimuli. On the one hand muscle growth (in hypertrophy), on the other hand maximum strength and muscle endurance.
For muscle growth and endurance, it is OK and sometimes beneficial to go to muscle failure.
If I execute them, I get what I want.
But when part of the init.el they seem to get reset.
If I include them towards the top of the init.el,
I can notice the larger font and then it "disappears".
@al3x Since I had a similar issue, look at the end of your init.el, where you have your (custom-set-variables ...) (which is created by the customize facility). It is very likely that you once changed your font interactively with customize and have this configuration still in your init.el.
@al3x Does the (setq...) work if you eval it in the newsticker mode manually? (Asking with the intent to isolate something about the hook not running from the actual effect)
I'd have expected setq-local to be needed to limit this to your newsticker-mode buffer.
@siracusa sorry for pinging you, do you happen to know anything about what Space Gremlin’s presence in the App Store? (I believe I learned about the app from you and thus deduced you are the only Space Gremlin user I know)
I can’t believe it🤪: TIL #Emacs has support for tabs.
(In #Emacs and #Vim, with their support for windows, I use tabs as workspaces: setting up windows in a particular layout fitting the needs of that project)
@al3x it has support for multiple levels of tabs, which is even weirder, but makes sense if you treat the topmost bar for window configurations like you do!
I am fascinated by John Siracusa’s @siracusa window management.
I have listened to the original episode a few times over the time.
The image I created in my mind had nothing to do with what he’s showing in the “ATP Insider: John’s Windows” <https://atp.fm/atp-insider-johns-windows>.
Next question that bugs me now: how much of that applies (or could be applied) when using a laptop or normal monitor?
Besides not working, what frustrates me further is there’s absolutely no way to tell what features they support.
It’s beneficial to have a single connector. But having a standard to communicate what features they support and with what qualities it will make them really useful and friendly. https://social.lol/@andycarolan/112237460262692817
' is to denote what comes after is a symbol
#' is to denote what comes after is a symbol representing a function name, so the Elisp compiler will check if it exists (if you compile it, that is)
The simplicity to accomplish this result is incredible. Similar things can be accomplished in #vim too.
Modern editors have to expose configuration flags for such features. Which are indeed easier to use if present, but less configurable and less composable.
