I updated my personal website to add some fun themes, like Windows XP and Windows 98! cyrialize.dev

Apple TV is making me love screensavers again. Do you guys remember the endless pipes in Windows? Bring back screensavers!

I’m a huge god-mode user for #Emacs. I love using a mostly modal like interface (I still press ctrl most of the time). I think because of that I’m just addicted to Hydra now. I love to jump into an interface with singular key presses instead of chaining keybindings over and over.

Here's my commit! github.com/cyrialize/.e... I have multiple org files for tasks. `cyr-org-tasks` loads a desktop view of these and calls `hydra-org`, which has commands to switch windows, refile tasks, add new tasks, etc. I defined a func to insert a task so that I won't exit out of the hydra!

I rediscovered Hydra this past weekend for #Emacs. I combined this with a saved desktop (using ‘desktop-mode’) to open up a window layout for my task files. I was able to build a nice pseudo task management app! I haven’t pushed the changes yet, but I will soon.

It took trying to make a static site generator to make me realize I should just use an already made static site generator. I wanted to make one because I found many SSGs to have too many features, but if my home made SSG is like Jekyll without extra features - I’ll just use Jekyll!

I’m a big fan of using LLMs to cut down my research loop. Each language/framework/library has its own terms that I may not know but an LLM does. Once you have the specific term, it makes finding solutions/documentation much easier. Before LLMs I’d just keep on looking until I found the right term!

when you find a new theme in one place you gotta change it everywhere else. This includes: your text editor, terminal emulator, computer, and house

LMAO, I didn’t even know that! Merry Christmas to you as well!!

This is, in true Hollywood style, totally wrong - but man it sounds cool

This is true, but man imagine a movie with a hacker? “Dependency injection, I’m in”

It’s tough to create an #Emacs package because every time I have a new idea, I find out it’s already been made (or it has existed in Emacs for 30 years)

cyrialize @cyrialize.dev · 24/12/2024

I’m also a big fan, but because “dependency injection” is just the coolest sounding phrase

Someone had my first and last name as a domain and was trying to sell it for 3K! The moment I saw that they were done holding it and I could buy it at a normal price I snagged it!

I never took dired in #Emacs seriously until now. I apologize dired, I wasn’t familiar with your game! My keybindings along with dired’s makes moving and deleting files so nice!

I feel like every time I dive into an #Emacs package I find out that it was already in Emacs 30 years ago. Yassnippet? Meet tempo and skeleton.

I reinstalled #Emacs Helm after not using it for /years/, I completely forgot about the action sub-menu on items. Honestly, super helpful. I know you can achieve something similar via Embark - I’ve been meaning to dig into that package more!

Correction: this is an interview posted on Sacha’s blog as the interviewer didn’t have a blog of their own.

This interview of Helm's maintainer, Thierry Volpiatto, by @sachachua.com is one that I mention often to... well everyone! It's wild that one of the most well-known Emacs packages is by a mountain guide in the alps. sachachua.com/blog/2018/09...

I really like #Ruby meta programming capabilities because every single side project I have starts out simple, but then I think “what if I could make the code write the code” or “a DSL would go really nice here” (I’ve never finished a side project)

Finally learning more #Emacs elisp is bad for me, now I’ll NEVER leave Emacs.

I have LCD. I went back and forth on OLED, but I went with LCD since I heard the colors were a little better? At the end of the day it’s difficult to choose since you can’t really determine what’s better for you unless if you can hold them both. So I just went with the cheapest!

It’s super nice. I love that it’s very easy to repair / upgrade. I bought the cheapest version then upgraded storage to 1TB.

Shout outs to xahlee for amazing #emacs content like this one: xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/... It’s making me stop being lazy and actual commit to learning some elisp, instead of copy-pasting and then trying whatever works like a mad man

I like that #emacs just inundates you with options for everything. Is it overwhelming sometimes? Yes, totally. But is it cool to fine tune exactly how Emacs handles and shows white space? Yes, totally!!

Prot is one of my most favorite #emacs people because he consistently puts out amazing content like this: protesilaos.com/codelog/2024... I especially love using the `after-init` hook instead of just calling the mode. I've already adapted my config to this!

If you are actively dealing with pain though, I’d recommend not doing exercises until you feel better.

- Wrist Extension - Wrist Flexion - Radial Deviation - Ulnar Deviation - Forearm Pronation / Supination You can start at low weights first, and then gradually work your way up. I usually do a set for 20 reps, then increase my sets until I get to 4, and then increase the weights.

cyrialize @cyrialize.dev · 28/11/2024

Doing hand wrist stretches + exercises are very helpful. Tennis elbow is sometimes the result of a weak wrist. There’s some exercises that I did as part of my treatment for De Quervain tenosynovitis, but they are good general wrist exercises as well (I do them to prevent injuries from lifting):

And that isn’t a bad thing for company! Lately with my new config I’ve been trying to see how minimal I could be and how much I could rely upon what comes with Emacs. There’s plenty of people that have tried corfu and gone back to company, and maybe I’ll be one of them. We’ll see!

cyrialize @cyrialize.dev · 28/11/2024

Playing around with corfu in #emacs! I was a big company guy for a long time, it’s fun to see alternatives. I like that corfu is UI only, hooking into Emacs whereas company is UI and has its own backends. github.com/minad/corfu company-mode.github.io

There’s nothing more satisfying than having such a good deck that you just plow through time eater I don’t like it when the game makes me think instead of just doing unga bunga Ironclad large strength attack

who knew that reading the #emacs ‘use-package’ documentation is better than just copy-pasting random declarations until you break your config and then just ‘git revert’ everything
