Going slightly crazy. I updated and built #Emacs from #git, which I hadn't done since last September. All kinds of weird behaviour. 🤔 In particular, I can no longer start up Emacs as my window manager (#exwm). Dies during initialization and --debug-init makes no difference. 😟 Serious debugging called for, I guess.
Luckily, I have #StumpWM as my backup and simply using Emacs full screen is almost as good as exwm... but not quite.
New #Brompton cockpit with crossbar to be able to mount my camera and lights easily and, more importantly, aim them directly forward and not canted! Works very well. Testing out in night commute ride in #London.
Why is it that motorists (because they are always motorists) feel that they should give me unsolicited advice to wear a helmet for "my safety". I don't give them (unsolicited) advice to lose weight for "their health". #cycling#BikeTooter
#TIL Emacs occur mode allows you to edit in the occur buffer (type e to enter edit mode, C-c C-c to leave edit mode) without having to switch the originating buffer! Makes it easy to refactor code and prose. I use occur all the time but never knew about this functionality. As always, #Emacs is one step ahead. 🙂
"Only a tiny part of written text is printed on paper, so the What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) approach does not make much sense in the digital age. Plain text uses the What You See Is What You Mean (WYSIWYM) approach. "
And, as an aside, one the most underrated features of #evilmode in #Emacs is that there is a complete (almost?) implementation of #ex under the hood, accessible via the : key binding (as in #vi).
And the combination of Emacs, evil mode, and #mastodonel is unbeatable for interacting with the #fediverse. 🙃
I am so proud of myself 🙂: I have just used #git#CherryPick for the first time ever and, drum roll, it worked! Did it via the command line as for some reason I get lost sometimes using #magit in #Emacs even though magit is fantastic for the usual activities.
@ericsfraga cherry picking in Magit is a little confusing in my opinion. It took me a while before I figured out how to do it correctly and I still get it wrong some of the time
