Xah Lee ​ready Xah Lee ​type emacs questions here Xah Lee ​i'll get to them Juhani ​I watched your video on lisp syntax. I always thought (a . b) and `(,@foo) had weird syntax too. Language designers have annoying habit of making the same design mistakes in the name of familiarity. Xah Lee ​am i alive? George ​Not here but in another stream George ​@xah lee Xah Lee ​lol. fuck it. let me try again Xah Lee ​quite the other stream. this will be main Welcome to live chat!

Xah Lee ​yo fms ​wassup infomatec ​good George ​Can see you now Jonathan Siegel ​Hello! geekhunger ​you don't need to escape these symbols - but it's good practice to do so geekhunger ​is this a custom cms or do you use something like a static-site-generator? easlweasl ​ah nice, Hello 👋 geekhunger ​ah, ok - thats crazy amount of work^^ The coolist cat ​hello geekhunger ​Question: I saw you're having couple keyboards around. Which one do you use the most? (Got myself the Kinesis Advantage2 couple months ago and enjoying it so far) California Republic ​get on the dark web JackDavidson ​What is your primary programming language? Iris García ​You don't have any & in the code you are testing Tamas Herman ​you might be in the wrong branch. try to put the overlay into the next if Iris García ​🙂 JackDavidson ​Why do you use Mac? JackDavidson ​I only use *nix based. JackDavidson ​I would never recommend windows to anyone. Tamas Herman ​and I'm using Nix, the package manager, under macOS ;) Iris García ​Universal argument, to do the opposite Tamas Herman ​you should factor out the repetition Антон Коняхин ​Hello. Iris García ​If is not nil Iris García ​Just make to lists: 1 with the (& >) and another with the translation Drk5orp - ​what the hell is NIL? BartholomewJS ​@Drk5orp - Null Iris García ​Then set point-min and point-max according to the length of the item of the list Iris García ​You also need to move the cursor accordingly Kapustin Alexander ​@Xah Lee Hi, why you use array of arrays, not array of lists for findReplaceMap? Tamas Herman ​try it first Iris García ​Try in a new buffer with less text Kapustin Alexander ​@Xah Lee may be youn need to go to position 0 ? Tamas Herman ​do some print-debugging maybe? Tamas Herman ​there is no destructuring in elisp? Iris García ​Cursor positon! Iris García ​move forward Iris García ​and backward Tamas Herman ​remove overlay? or something like that? Iris García ​No, just the move backward and forward Iris García ​Otherwise the highlight fails Kapustin Alexander ​delete-overlay Iris García ​Compare your initial code Iris García ​And you will see the difference, with move forward Tamas Herman ​make//-overlay is outside of while block Alen ​It's sometimes good to remind yourself to take a break @Xah Lee Iris García ​The lenght of the replacement, I think the math is wrong now Iris García ​before you used to count hard coded sergio hernandez ​Hi Xah, Emacs is amazing, from Nuevo León México Iris García ​point is always at the end, so highlight x-5 Iris García ​Brilliant :) Iris García ​@Xah Lee what about after first lambda, set index1 and index2 accordingto value of universal argument Iris García ​two lines and you are done Tamas Herman ​(mapc reverse ...)? Tamas Herman ​I only have Clojure experience... Tamas Herman ​in this case - for interactive use - it's not really important to be fast though... Tamas Herman ​u don't even need the lambda, no? Tamas Herman ​it was fun; thanks! Diamond Bond ​hi xah Diamond Bond ​im tuning in pretty late Diamond Bond ​are you using emacs from brew? Diamond Bond ​or emacsformacosx Tamas Herman ​I just installed the d12frozen variant from brew the other day - as recommended by doom-emacs-, using their tap and it works very well
