Thinking about config changes I want to make in the middle of the workday like: reddit / emacs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TrippyTurtling · 2022-06-10 20:45 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jacobissimus · 2022-06-10 21:12 Yeah….we, um, wait until _after_ work to tweak those config files ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CitrusLizard · 2022-06-10 21:19 Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, That's why I elisp on company time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sceadu · 2022-06-10 21:53 Accurate for me since I'm stuck using emacs in WSL at work ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-06-10 21:55 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BertProesmans · 2022-06-10 21:59 There's always that one guy that takes it a step further than you(me) do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- duckieWig · 2022-06-10 22:06 What's wrong with emacs in WSL? It works pretty well for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Llamanator3830 · 2022-06-10 22:11 Yeah but sometimes I want a good gui environment with emacs and Win10 WSL doesn't provide that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- p7e9W8itt1tYayZn · 2022-06-10 22:14 Can relate. Also it's not fun to run Spacemacs or any Emacs distro which always checks for internet connection on startup. You can build a custom distro with offline (frozen) packages tho. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 00-11 · 2022-06-10 22:16 Looks like the Emacser himself was transformed a bit in the move home. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- krageon · 2022-06-10 22:34 https://github.com/Opticos/GWSL-Source I use this and a tool for opening links in my windows browser. It works really well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sceadu · 2022-06-10 23:05 for me the thing that is a constant annoyance is that it feels like there's always a slight input lag in WSL (mainly the GUI/display server)... (emacs specifically for this point but there's others that maybe aren't relevant to emacs) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thwy__ · 2022-06-11 00:36 So true. In my college's PC I can only use the old emacs 24, almost no package is available for it. Everytime when I get home I feel so happy to launch emacs 28. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KaleidoscopeWarCrime · 2022-06-11 00:40 One million percent yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- guygastineau · 2022-06-11 00:58 You both made my day. I am so glad I get to manage my own work environment ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cazzipropri · 2022-06-11 01:09 Yes! Because if I do it at work I can't commit it to my public repo! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jacobissimus · 2022-06-11 01:12 Lol my bosses would probably say the same thing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- quantum_mattress · 2022-06-11 01:58 If it was a Windows PC, couldn’t you just install the most recent version? Did they have the PC locked down? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thwy__ · 2022-06-11 02:01 It's an old Lubuntu and I need the sudo password to do anything ---------------------------------------------------------------------- quantum_mattress · 2022-06-11 02:51 Got it. FYI, when I just had my group IT guy install 28.1 on my Centos system, he then had to also install a recent version of gcc since the one with the OS was too old. It still worked but took a long time to start up because of errors in the new Native Compile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- agumonkey · 2022-06-11 03:05 That typography and layout is immense ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bugamn · 2022-06-11 03:52 If you have enough space, you could try to compile your own local copy of emacs and then put it in a local bin that you add to your PATH, although emacs can get quite large so you might not be able to do that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- centzon400 · 2022-06-11 05:27 Few things feel greater than coming home , getting into yer jim-jams and *finally* throwing off that work wig. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- invsblduck · 2022-06-11 06:12 This is amazing. And: People don't edit emacs configs in the middle of their work day?! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jigarthanda-paal · 2022-06-11 14:23 Virgin professional emacs user vs Chad hobbyist emacs user ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jigarthanda-paal · 2022-06-11 14:24 I edit my config as I program. I program at work. Ergo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bolyzaurio · 2022-06-11 16:17 I don't have admin privileges on my working station running W10(it seems like it's not common for people to have admin privileges at their workstations\[homeofice\]), I can't configure python properly since I got Anaconda for work stuff. I can't manage to run pyenv with pyright, it's sooo annoying, meanwhile, if I turn on my personal PC it's soo easy to edit and run stuff, I might get approved to get a VirtualBox but seems soo dumb to have to run Linux in a VB to be able to have an optimized workflow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- p4r24k · 2022-06-11 16:50 emacs is the worst thing that has happened to my adhd... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- redback-spider · 2022-06-11 18:31 For me that don't work because I am not employed :D Sadly there are to few elisp jobs around (that said I got paid for hacking elisp once :D) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-06-11 22:22 [removed]
