pdurbin: to be clear; golinks it **not** a search engine. the most convenient thing you get out of it is shortcut commands and shared bookmarks in your org or family or whatever |
| 01:53 |
|
prologic |
as an example: |
| 01:53 |
|
prologic |
py <blah> -- searches Python 2 docs for <blah> |
| 01:54 |
|
prologic |
gopkg net/http goes directly to the docs for the net/http package |
| 02:12 |
|
pdurbin |
yep, I understand |
| 02:17 |
|
prologic |
but yeah I realize it's not a good fit for all audidences |
| 02:18 |
|
prologic |
but would work really well in a work env with shared bookmarks and shortcut commands to internal tools, etc |
| 02:29 |

pdurbin |
maybe not my current workplace but sure |

I had a nice chat with someone about Clojure at https://botbot.me/freenode/sandstorm/msg/79375760/ |

hearing good things about Guy Steele: Organizing Functional Code for Parallel Execution ( https://vimeo.com/6624203 http://web.archive.org/web/20091229162537/http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/Publications/ICFPAugust2009Steele.pdf ) at https://defn.audio/2016/07/25/episode-6-concurrency-and-parallelism/ |

hey, so I asked this in a couple of places, and got no good answer yet, but almost started a couple of flame wars :p |
| 21:53 |
|
aditsu |
is there an open-source text editor that auto-saves its state so that you can get back to where you were after e.g. a brutal shutdown? |
| 21:54 |
|
aditsu |
almost 10 editors later, can't find one that does what I want and works in linux |
| 21:54 |
|
aditsu |
I should note that I excluded gvim |
| 21:55 |
|
aditsu |
I had started writing my own editor, but was wondering if I should really do this :p |
| 22:50 |
|
pdurbin |
Don't most people who use text editors know to save their work from time to time? ;) |
| 22:54 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: not sure about that :p but anyway, I often write or paste things in new documents, and don't save them because I may not think they're worth picking a file name and a location and saving to a real file, but still want to have them around |
| 22:54 |
|
aditsu |
kinda like a scratchpad |
| 23:07 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, I use TextEdit on Mac for that, but I probably wouldn't cry if the data were gone |
| 23:08 |
|
pdurbin |
I bet vim or emacs or both have an autosave plugin. |
| 23:21 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: is your editor inspired by any existing editors? |
| 23:22 |
|
aditsu |
not really, only inspired in the sense that existing editors can't seem to do what I said |
| 23:22 |
|
aditsu |
so I want to do it |
| 23:22 |
|
pdurbin |
I guess I appreciate that Google Docs autosaves. |
| 23:23 |
|
aditsu |
oh, and somebody mentioned Notepad++ but it's for windoze |
| 23:24 |
|
aditsu |
I'm not interested in vim or emacs, and also I want a GUI if it wasn't clear |
| 23:24 |
|
pdurbin |
there's XEmacs :) |
| 23:25 |
|
pdurbin |
and gvim :) |
| 23:25 |
|
aditsu |
those are still emacs and vim, with some added lipstick |
| 23:25 |
|
pdurbin |
on a pig |
| 23:26 |
|
aditsu |
kind of :p |
| 23:26 |
|
aditsu |
I mean.. I bet they're powerful, but way too painful to learn |
| 23:28 |
|
pdurbin |
you just need to try http://vim-adventures.com ;) |
| 23:30 |
|
aditsu |
also, if I ever decide to learn vim, it will be for its text processing power, not for auto-saving |
| 23:34 |
|
pdurbin |
If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. |
| 23:38 |
|
aditsu |
heh, I just watched the despecialized editions recently :) |
| 23:39 |
|
pdurbin |
lucky |
| 23:40 |
|
aditsu |
you can get them too |
| 23:40 |
|
aditsu |
Yoda says the dark side is not stronger, only quicker, easier and more seductive :p |
