git pre-commit Hooks for Python

Kenneth H. East — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 00:59:12 GMT

As part of an effort to move to a fully automated CI/CD process, I wanted to begin using git pre-commit hooks for my python code. These are my notes on setting that up.

Emacs 26, Mojave, elpy, readline

Kenneth H. East — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 05:00:00 GMT

I first started having problems with macOS readline and macports Python a year or two ago. Initially, it was bugs in resetting the tty to a sane configuration when a Python REPL exited. That seems to have been solved, but I'm now encountering readline problems with Python 3.7, GNU Emacs 26.1, and elpy. These notes describe what seems to be a solution, at least for the time being.

Note on installing and configuring elpy in GNU Emacs 26.1 with Python 3.7 on MacOS Sierra (10.12).

A Content-Aware Untabify Command

Kenneth H. East — Sun, 29 Jan 2017 20:08:06 GMT

I have an application whose behavior is controlled by a YAML file. Recently, I modified the behavior and shipped off the new YAML file to the application, only to have the application die because the YAML file contained tabs instead of spaces. One remedy would be to modify the application to handle tabs properly. Another would be to ensure that tabs are never present in the YAML file to begin with. In this instance, the latter was the path of least resistance; this is a brief note about creating a shell script that will use GNU Emacs to perform the tab to space conversion.

GNU Emacs Reference

I sat down recently to spend the afternoon making a customized cheatsheet for GNU Emacs. I ended up spending more time on this project than I'd like to admit, but I am pleased with the results. This note provides links to LaTeX source and PDF output

OS-X, 'Open With', and emacsclient

Kenneth H. East — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 01:57:02 GMT

Because I've configured my GNU emacs to automatically run in daemon mode I wish to 'use' emacs by running emacsclient exclusively. But emacsclient isn't an OS-X 'app' which means that I can't double click on a file to open it with emacsclient. It also means that I can't use the 'Open With' menu to edit a file via emacsclient. Here is how to resolve those issues.

Gnu Emacs With Server Mode on OS-X

Kenneth H. East — Wed, 09 Dec 2015 20:18:18 GMT

I have used the Emacs for Mac OS-X distribution of Gnu Emacs for years and have been quite pleased with it. Emacs' server-mode is great in that it makes for very fast load times and it allows sharing buffer contents, kill rings, etc., between windows. However, I found it a little tricky to get it working perfectly on OS-X. These are my notes on how to install and configure it so that server-mode works correctly on OS-X.
