Quite right!
You need to take it all (AI or internet searches) with a huge pinch of salt. Even ye olde text books were not infallible and often out of date, so sodium chloride was also required even then.
The code either works or it doesn’t - it’s all in the testing. If you deploy AI suggestions without thought you deserve the consequences.
so just use chatgpt or gemini - pretty sure they sucked in all of reddit to form their KB
I followed up on github as you suggested and a very nice young man took a look at it and said that the code already does work the right way (at least the way I and their little poll think it should work). But, it turns out that the fix (from 2021) has not been deployed - it’s to be in the next release.
So I don’t know what will happen now - I’ll continue to use my workaround, so I’m happy enough.
So he’s a journalist </s> Thanks for the warning, saved me a read.
It might be more expected for you but I’m going to differ.
for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.
… and then you can’t get to the discussion.
The RSS-2.0 definition of <link> is
The URL to the HTML website corresponding to the channel.
so clearly, it should point to the lemmy post. No other RSS feed that I know of has this problem.
Fortunately, emacs can flex around this, but duh! Where can I raise a bug report?
OK, more than wow! Probably the most helpful, in-depth and up to date coverage of this topic I’ve seen in 40 years of barely scratching the surface of emacs. Thank you!
Wow! Just wow!
Another approach entirely is to use pam_mount(8) which can automatically mount a disc on login. I use it to mount /home/$USER (obviously this couldn’t be used to mount the root fs !!)
I find the various linters and checkers a bit too intrusive while I’m trying to code - I prefer to just have a check when I stop fiddling with the code and save it. So I have these checks run in after-save-hook - if there are errors, I get a popup otherwise nothing and all is good:
;; ** syntax checking on file save:
(defun bh/check-syntax ()
"Check syntax for various languages."
(when (eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode)
(ignore-errors (kill-buffer byte-compile-log-buffer))
(let ((byte-compile-warnings '(not free-vars obsolete unresolved)))
(unless (byte-compile-file buffer-file-name)
(pop-to-buffer byte-compile-log-buffer))))
(when (eq major-mode 'sh-mode)
(compile (format "bash -n %s && shellcheck -f gcc %s" buffer-file-name buffer-file-name) t))
(when (eq major-mode 'ruby-mode)
(compile (format "ruby -c %s" buffer-file-name) t))
(when (eq major-mode 'python-mode)
(compile (format "python -B -m py_compile %s" buffer-file-name) t))
(when (eq major-mode 'awk-mode)
(compile (format "AWKPATH=$PATH gawk --lint --source 'BEGIN { exit(0) } END { exit(0) }' --file %s" buffer-file-name) t)))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'bh/check-syntax)
I don’t work much with json files but I daresay the idea could be extended to them. Sorry about the crappy elisp.
virt-manager for the win!
“64-128mb ram” is hardly “low memory”!
BTW - thanks for Mistral. Another tool in the box!
