@canweriotnow: @seancorfield: I’ve been talking to @gjnoonan about this, I don’t think Slack is a good choice long term because of the message limit. Also archiving as logbot currently does is almost certainly a ToS violation.

I hadn’t considered gitter, I’d assumed it was only for smaller communities.

cfleming17:07:57

We’ve been looking into self-hosted solutions (own your data etc), http://www.mattermost.org/ looks quite nice but I haven’t tried it yet.

jwm19:07:02

anything that the emacs.app client give you that terminal emacs doesn’t?

jwm19:07:10

other than the gui controls for dired I mean

ordnungswidrig19:07:50

jwm: shows pictures

jwm19:07:11

I’m trying to get emacs.app to play nice with daemon mode

jwm19:07:18

seem to have it working but its not very automatic hehe

jwm19:07:26

daemon mode is but emacs.app as a client isn’t

jwm19:07:38

not a big deal since I don’t really need to access this remotely anyway

ordnungswidrig19:07:49

hmm, I see. I use emacsclient as, whell, the client

ordnungswidrig19:07:18

I use emacsclient to capture todos I enter as an Alfred command

jwm19:07:23

yeah you can only launch that in Emacs.app with shell-command

jwm19:07:34

not from the start to speak

jwm19:07:54

if you want it inside the gui that is I mean

ordnungswidrig19:07:08

hmm, I’m not sure I understand. I’ve got Emacs.app running as my server and from a terminal I occasionally call emacsclient

jwm19:07:24

yeah that works fine but then you are running terminal mode emacs

ordnungswidrig19:07:01

No, I run it as gui and call (server-start) in init.el

jwm19:07:02

if you want to open multiple Emacs.app frames and connect that way you have to shell-command

ordnungswidrig19:07:25

multiples frames or event multiple Emacs.app instances?

jwm19:07:31

the gui one

jwm19:07:00

but then I still have to open emacs.app which takes awhile and then I have to shell-command if I want to connect to the daemon process from the gui emacs.app

jwm19:07:49

terminal works fine though as expected just the gui is cumbersome since you have to launch it and then launch emacsclient inside of it

jwm19:07:19

ahh I see what the problem is

jwm19:07:39

I need to pull the emacsclient from inside the app dir and not /usr/local/

jwm19:07:56

now how to make that be the preferred emacsclient inside spotlight hehe

seancorfield19:07:03

@jwm: we start Emacs.app in daemon mode and then use the emacsclient in that folder to start a native window.

seancorfield19:07:30

This /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient

seancorfield19:07:13

Start it with -c to get a Cocoa(?) window, or -t to stay in a Terminal.

seancorfield19:07:25

(and this probably belongs in #C050AN6QW)

jwm20:07:24

can’t do on topic in offtopic 😉

jwm20:07:44

I realized I was running emacsclient from brew instead of from bin

jwm20:07:03

now trying to add it to spotlight

ordnungswidrig20:07:25

jwm: keep me posted on the spotlight integration, I guess you want to call emacsclient from a search result

jwm20:07:02

yeah I was going to use flashlight

jwm20:07:11

seeing if a reboot kicks flashlight on

jwm20:07:07

hehe its broken jim apple changed stuff again

jwm20:07:15

hate walled garden

If I clone a repository on github, and that repository has open pull requests, is there an easy way to accept those PRs into my clone?

ordnungswidrig20:07:09

pkillean: the PR is targeted at a certain repository, so IMHO no. But you can merge the branches offered in the PRs, github shows „manual merge" instructions in the PR, IIRC

ordnungswidrig20:07:35

whoos, that should go to @meow

ordnungswidrig20:07:47

It reads "You can also merge branches on the command line."

jwm21:07:49

I ended up making an /Applications/emacsc.command script

jwm21:07:45

emacsc.command: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -c &

jwm21:07:06

now I can launch the gui connection from spotlight

jwm21:07:15

probably a better way of doing it but it works hehe

ordnungswidrig21:07:37

jwm: you better don’t update to 10.10.4, flashlight is reported to be broken on that.

jwm21:07:52

yeah too late

jwm21:07:04

I never used flashlight before anyway so that is why I did this command thing and it worked

joelkuiper21:07:39

who is up for writing a reddit clone over the weekend 😛 ?

jwm21:07:14

couldn’t you just raw html clone reddit
