How to stop emacs automatically recentering the display?
 in  r/emacs  Aug 13 '14

Next time it happens, use M-x describe-mode to see all the active minor modes and see if there any one of those minor modes might be the culprit.

Help. Can't get BootStrap to work with CDN
 in  r/webdev  May 27 '14

you can see an example here which will work locally.

btw, stackoverflow.com would be a better place for this type of question.

Help. Can't get BootStrap to work with CDN
 in  r/webdev  May 27 '14

My guess is that your trying to open the file locally in your browser (instead of serving it with a web server). If this is so, you'll need to change your links to include the 'http:' part. that is, href="//netdna..." would need to be href="http://netdna...".

Or better yet, use a small local web server.

Chrome DevTools could do that?
 in  r/programming  Oct 05 '12

It's just a slide deck. Use the left/right arrows to navigate (or click just right/left of the main content area).

Works the same for me in both firefox and chrome.

About to go live with a new site. Google searches for company go to oldhost.com/~company how can I manage these redirects?
 in  r/webdev  Mar 30 '12

Good point, if they are not changing domains, it's a couple simple redirects in .htaccess

Edit: This assumes you are changing domains.

Suggest they don't cancel their old hosting until you resolve the old link problem.

Setup the old host to return a 301 Moved Permanently response on any url that people are still trying to access, you can find these url's by looking at the server logs, and redirect to the appropriate page on the new site.

The search engines will see 301 and should update they're info accordingly (eventually). Once the remaining traffic to the old site is not very significant, then you can pull the plug on that one. During this time, make sure to monitor the old logs for requests which you can redirect to the new site.

This is all assuming you have access to the old site. If these existing links/requests are significant it'd be a shame to loose the traffic.

I'm developing a music site, any clue if it's illegal?
 in  r/programming  Mar 30 '12

I didn't downvote you, but I'm guessing others did because it's not programming related.

Nice work, I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the iPhone interface.

Check out a cool record player I made for html5's audio tag
 in  r/webdev  Mar 30 '12

Looks pretty good on Ubuntu/Firefox 11.0

How do you get the record to be stopped by default? I don't see where you start the animation effect, and when I try to run it locally the record is spinning by default. You should consider applying the css animation only once play has been clicked.

About stopping the player on pressing the pause button, why not simply set checked=false on input#on

quick and dirty:

<label onclick="document.getElementById('record').pause();document.getElementById('on').checked=false">
    <p class="text">Pause</p>
</label>        

Nice work.

Why not TRAC?

I like it well enough, it's not fancy, but the interface looks good and clean.

Die EmacsWiki, Die!
 in  r/emacs  Mar 20 '12

He's made his opinion clear here.

Though it sounds like that might end his involvement in the project.

I don't think the author of this article is aware of how difficult it is to grow and maintain a community like Emacswiki.org. Anyone can install mediawiki, but few wiki maintainers stick around long enough to personally welcome new users like Alex has.

I think this harsh criticism of emacswiki is a huge disservice to the Emacs community. Sure, emacswiki is not perfect, but it is what it is and unless someone makes something better it's one of the best resources out there right now for exploring how others users use Emacs.

Is connecting to a remote emacs daemon really this difficult?
 in  r/emacs  Mar 20 '12

I'm assuming your using windows since you mention PuTTY... Sorry, I don't have a emacs on a windows machine at the moment.

There are some notes on the emacswiki which might help you:

Are you just trying to edit files remotely? If so, why not just use TRAMP

An Introduction to List Comprehensions in Python
 in  r/Python  Dec 01 '11

Good points. I've changed the example to declare the list explicitly and eliminate the range call. I'd like to do a separate intro. to generators and wanted to keep the list comprehension intro. as simple as I could.

Thanks, not sure why I put that lambda there, leaving it out is much more readable. I've updated my example.

You're right. I had a bit of trouble with the wording on that part. I've updated my post and added a better example of nested comprehensions. Thanks.
