I hate using the mouse when typing at great speed
Why are you using Atom, then?
because I can type with great speed
Hmm. Ok.
Why wouldn't I be able to type with speed in Atom? Where is your bottleneck?
You should be able to type with great speed with Atom. But if you type at great speed, you could also mouse/edit with great speed if you used vim.
I even have keyboard shortcut to wrap hightlight text in a tag that I can quickly make anything I want (both open and close at the same time) and then continue to add attributes without any extra keystrokes (i.e. attributes don't go into the close tag).
keyboard MUCH > than any mouse edit if you type fast enough.
even keyboard shortcuts for git commands, and so many others.
eslint, etc etc
Ok. Do you use Emmet?
Cool.
vim can do a few things atom can not. atom packages can do a lot of things that vim can not. Both are good tools to use for different things, but for a majority of the coding, atom works better for me.
You will receive no criticism from me. I’d been using IntelliJ IDEA for a few years before my pair suggested we share vim.
https://atom.io/packages/atom-pair that lets you see my open docs and we can both make changes to it after exchanging pair-codes (or whatever they call it)
i type with great speed with my keyboard… :P
SimplyPhy @SimplyPhy leaving xD
Lilyheart @Lilyheart drags Phy back.
also: i have to refactor my entire object
sigh
shouldn’t be too bad though (I HOPE)
At some point you should learn some basic bash scripting and regex. Makes things like that a bit easier.
@Lilyheart +<lots of points> for that observation!
heh. @dcpking knows my choice of reading material xD
Hahaha!! @Lilyheart reads or she doesn't - there's no three ways about it!
(just hope you don't start coding in c - then it'll really be write-only-code :)
Montco is a Java school, so I don't think there is any fear of that any time soon.
BTW, I'm not going to be able to make the library again tomorrow night. <so bummed>
Ouch. Hopefully works gets better soon!
I really need to do something to get more people at the meetups.
Someday I'll get that IR transmitter from you xD
yeah!
(you need any serial cabling?)
I think we might actually have all our serial cabling needs covered.
ok
refactor complete (yay)
my super object is now a super array
That didn’t take long at all.
yeah i figured out a reasonably quick way to get through it
though i spent the whole afternoon basically creating that object
*array xD
As my mom used to say, “So what you lost everything because you forgot to save and the power went out? The rewrite will be better."
now no need for jsonPATH (though it is cool, thanks @Lilyheart )
Save early save often
So many power outages… So many refactors…
s/refactors/involuntary refactors
welcoming to coding. refactor is life.
hmmm septa API has current lat/long on the buses. I can grab that into OpenHAB and then display them on the map on the wallmount tablet
Elixir has no loop commands. No
for, no while. So I’ve been trying to do the algorithm challenges without them. I think I did all but one so far… My Javascript is too rusty.
This one, though, looks like it’s going to be too hard to do without a loop.
ouch
.reduce() is your friend. :smile:
Because I feel like it. Now I'm going to see if I can pull the printer ink levels and put them in the home automation hub for display on the wall mount. cuz I can (or probably can, we shall see)
SNMP is…. interesting.
did you take the picture of the Dell keyboard for that?
Ha no. I just set up that whole thing yesterday and grabbed super random photots from http://photosforclass.com/
if i come tonight, i’ll be ~30 mins late
o ok, I just saw the picture and I was like that's a really dirty dell keyboard lol
So if I show up tonight between 5:30 and 6:00, is it likely that there will still be a reasonable amount of session remaining?
No time is late. Except maybe 8 xD since that’s when we start getting kicked out. It’s just coding and chatting around a table. With Mike busy, I’m not sure how many people will even show tho.
@SimplyPhy If you come, when you come in the building, go in both sets of doors. Once you are in the library proper, make a left and shortly you will see a staircase up.
If anyone has come across web forms that they think are modern or innovation, please send me me a link, thanks!
okie dokie smokie
hello
Hello!
Meetup is small today. Just me, @kevincauto and @ckear165 but we figured out why some code wasn’t working and that’s a good thing!
