Emacs on Mac? by JohnyTexin emacs

Not having a Control key on the right side annoyed me too. I ended up binding the Command keys to Control:

(setq mac-command-modifier 'control
      mac-option-modifier 'meta)

Which Spotify-supported country has the best availability of tracks? by mqtin spotify

You can switch the country associated with your account by clicking on "Edit profile" -> "update your payment details". You then need to either have a credit card or PayPal account in the country you want to switch to.

I've noticed this from my Swedish account but I don't think it means that the selection is worse for .se.

It seems that the same album is often available for both the UK/SE but they're stored as different versions in Spotify's system for whatever reason (naming variations, different versions available in different countries due to bonus tracks, etc.). So, I think that when you subscribe to a playlist in the UK sometimes certain tracks will point to UK-specific versions but if you go and search for that same track/album, you'll see that it is indeed available in Sweden only with a different Spotify URI.

Well, it's actually 2-10% with 6% being the average, according to Wikipedia.

You need to understand that they fund startups at the very earliest stages. That is, a lot of these startups have nothing more than an idea. There's far more risk in investing at this stage so it makes sense that they have to offset it somehow. Not to mention, if the startup goes on to raise a Series A or even B, that 6% is diluted.

What do you think is a fair percentage for them to take, accounting for increased risk and dilution? How else can a very early-stage startup get introductions to top-tier angels and VCs?

The sales tax is calculated using the unsubsidized price of the phone.

I use M-w to copy lines with the snippet below. You can have the point anywhere on the line.

;; merge the kill-ring with the clipboard
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)

;; http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SlickCopy
(defadvice kill-ring-save (before slick-copy activate compile)
  "When called interactively with no active region, copy a single line instead."
  (interactive
   (if mark-active (list (region-beginning) (region-end))
     (message "Copied line")
     (list (line-beginning-position)
           (line-beginning-position 2)))))

I disabled the scrollbar and have the fringe displayed.

(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(fringe-mode '(0 . right-only))
(define-fringe-bitmap 'bottom-right-angle [0] nil)
(define-fringe-bitmap 'right-bracket [0] nil)
(define-fringe-bitmap 'top-left-angle [0] nil)
(define-fringe-bitmap 'top-right-angle [0] nil)

It's a nightly of Cocoa Emacs.

I think it originally came from a pack on deviantart, but I can't seem to find it. Here's a copy: http://lambda.nirv.net/m/files/Love.png

That's not the case with my version of Cocoa Emacs. Disabling menu-bar-mode will cause the menubar to be blank.

20 MySQL best practices by salmanulhaqin programming

Facebook and Digg are actually moving towards using Cassandra for their data store. I guess MySQL just wasn't good enough.

Have Emacs use your default browser and move deleted files to the Trash. Tell ido to ignore those annoying .DS_Store files.

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-default-macosx-browser
      delete-by-moving-to-trash t)

(add-to-list 'ido-ignore-files "\\.DS_Store")

I bind my command key to control and alt/option to meta since my MacBook Pro doesn't have a right control key.

(setq mac-command-modifier 'control
      mac-option-modifier 'meta)

Menlo is awesome

(set-default-font "Menlo-12")

You don't want to disable menu-bar-mode if you're using Emacs on Mac OS X. The menu bar is always visible on OS X so keeping it enabled provides useful information/menus.
