• 21:20 UTC (new) (history) 2020-11-09 A nice tip about Bash redirection . . . . mbork – Some time ago I had a minor epiphany about Bash redirection. I needed to perform the same command for various files, and each time redirect its results to some file.

• 21:51 UTC (new) (history) 2020-11-01 The situation in Poland . . . . mbork – I really planned to post something else today (I even have written something about Bash redirection – it will just wait one or two more weeks). But the situation in my country, well, escalated quickly, and I think a few sentences of comment are very much in place.

• 07:08 UTC (new) (history) 2020-10-26 Scrolling all windows simultaneously . . . . mbork – One of the things which I need very seldom is simultaneous scrolling in more than one window. And guess what? Emacs has me covered.

• 16:31 UTC (new) (history) 2020-10-18 A nice exercise in metric spaces . . . . mbork – It’s been a very long time since I posted anything math-y here (more than five years!). It certainly has something to do with the fact that I no longer work as a mathematician (even if I am part of one maths-related project, but that’s a secret). A few days ago, however, after a short discussion with a friend, I came up with a really nice exercise. Note: it is not difficult at all, quite the contrary, but I like it a lot.

• 04:58 UTC (new) (history) 2020-10-12 Editing subtitles in Emacs with subed . . . . mbork – Some time ago I bought a DVD with one of my favorite movies of all time. (I am not really a movie person, but I like to watch some film once or twice a year.) Unfortunately, the film is only available in English, and I really wanted my daughter (who doesn’t speak it yet) to watch it with me. I set out to translate all the dialog to Polish (which was quite a challenge, and I am proud to say that I managed to do that – better or worse, sometimes perhaps inevitably worse, but still). Now what I need is to prepare subtitles for the film. It turns out that the industry standard is called srt, and – not that it is surprising – Emacs has a suitable mode.
