Xah Lee
​Q and A today

Mark Olenik
​HI Xah!

Pedro Morais
​hi. can you please talk about emacs setup on windows? mingw?

Pedro Morais
​and tips about powershell inside emacs?

Louis Brauer
​good evening!

Cammil Taank
​hello xah!

winny
​are you using the official emacs binary? how do u make it not slow on windows?

Mark Olenik
​Tell us please about your maths self-study routine, and what your favourite topics are at the moment?

Vlad Maverick
​I'm getting sick of windows 10. Almost switching to Linux. Do you have experience with Linux?

Dedware
​Why do you have paper on eye?

Cortez Phenix
​@Dedware because of mild cross-eye

Afonso Rafael
​Your videos on this kind of logistics on emacs are really, really good!

Bjørn Magnus Mathisen
​source code pro is also a good font me thinks :)

Afonso Rafael
​You have linum global? or just for a set of files?

Bjørn Magnus Mathisen
​also i have a macro for running elisp ony in one type of OS: (defmacro with-system (type &rest body) "Evaluate body if `system-type' equals type." `(when (eq system-type ,type) ,@body))

Bjørn Magnus Mathisen
​(with-system 'gnu/linux (run something) (run something else))

Bjørn Magnus Mathisen
​(not my macro, I found it) :)

Mark Olenik
​yes :P

breaktheloop
​@Xah Lee i have a theory (out of my ass) that the common emacs CTRL-key combinations contributes to carpal tunnel. Users like Emily have chosen to use emacs with vim controls (evil) to help avoid this

breaktheloop
​What do you think of my theory that emacs CTRL-keys contributes to wrist/handproblems? Do you mostly use the default emacs CTRL-key combinations? Or a custom setup that helps avoid wrist problems?

​Hi

clamato422
​In Win10 i think you can install Ubuntu mide via MS Store?

clamato422
​...mode...

winny
​Another nice solution is MSYS2, which is mingw based, but also wraps up in a nice package manager, basically Git Bash++

F F
​why are you pirate

vfen
​what do u think about the hhkb keyboard?

breaktheloop
​i am curious to hear about your self-studying math too

vfen
​@breaktheloop remap caps lock to ctrl and you dont get emacs pinky problems

winny
​don't do three finger salutes - you have two hands on the keyboard at once - you could type modifier with one hand, letter with other hand

Dominic Montifiore
​Would you rather own your own mountain or your own lake?

Angus Zhang
​ten thousands

Jack Sharp
​very nice result there xah with your elisp grep

Angus Zhang
​how much memory Emacs will occupy then?

breaktheloop
​JESUS

breaktheloop
​lol

breaktheloop
​math question is good

Syed Ali
​Why is 0! = 1

Louis Brauer
​Please, a last few minutes of your thoughts about Lisp and Common Lisp as a general programming language. Worth learning? What's to gain?

Brandon
​Would love to hear your take on the crypto bubble.

Brandon
​crypto art, nft's, etc...

Jack Sharp
​corsair gaming mouse has onboard memory for setting up key combos on the 12 buttons

Angus Zhang
​I have 3 layers on my 40% keyboard.

Angus Zhang
​and happy with it.

vfen
​@Jack Sharp iCue is also 1gb software 😀

Jack Sharp
​@vfen yeah but you can set it and unintstall, the mouse has 3 differerent light settings each with their own dpi and saved buttons

Feroz Riaz
​Hi @xah What applications you recommend for Mac OS ? For keyboard and mouse efficiency and effectiveness. For Window management? Application management. Shortcuts etc.

breaktheloop
​yes, loud and clear!

Jack Sharp
​yes
