20:04 UTC (new) (history) 2018-04-09 counsel-yank-pop . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago I wrote a tip about yanking, and I was informed in a comment that helm has helm-show-kill-ring, which is a replacement for M-y. Turns out that the Ivy suite has counsel-yank-pop, which is a similar thing. Even better, instead of binding M-y to it manually, you can just turn counsel-mode on, and many Emacs commands will be automatically remapped to their counsel equivalents. Nice!

03:39 UTC (new) (history) 2018-04-01 Easter 2018 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – As usual, I’d like to wish everyone reading this a Happy Easter! Yet again we live to witness the miracle of Jesus rising from the dead. Today does not seem to be a good time to live in. Sin is everywhere, the forces of evil seem to dominate, and the world seems to head towards self-destruction. But this is not actually the case. Jesus already defeated Satan, and we only must join the victorious battle. Happy Easter everyone! (And traditionally, I have a gift to all my readers: a Rosary decade for you!)

09:22 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2018-03-26 Human-readable filesizes . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Apparently, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Consumer_confusion|not everyone agrees]]. Also, I don't really care about IEC/SI prefixes . . .

18:56 UTC (new) (history) 2018-03-26 Human-readable filesizes . . . . Marcin Borkowski – A few days ago I needed to display a filesize (in one of the next blog posts I’ll show why I needed this!). The easiest way is to just display the integer – size in bytes – but of course this is not very human-friendly. The “right” way should use whichever units fit the number.

05:01 UTC (new) (history) 2018-03-18 My Org-mode hydra . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I mentioned a lot of times that I am a big fan of Org-mode clocking feature. Even if I clock some things only for myself, I find it useful to learn how much time I actually need for some task. This is often surprising – for example, I think most people are completely unaware of how much you can accomplish by spending five to ten minutes every day on something (notice the “every day” part!). Of course, I want my clocking to be as smooth as possible.
04:59 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2018-03-10 A tip on yanking . . . . Marcin Borkowski – That's interesting. I don't use helm, but a quick search shows that Ivy has something similar. I'll try it out!
