Glyph<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> folks: if you want an interactive debugger, what do you use, and how do you set it up? Particularly on unfamiliar projects with something like tox/nox/Just which gets between you and the running process. Bonus points if you have a functioning <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> integration.</p><p>In principle I love the idea of interactive debuggers. In practice I have been burned so many times by configuration, path, and terminal interaction issues that I have an almost instinctual recoil from anything based on pdb.</p>
Torstein Krause Johansen<p>The way I work in 2025. A fun tour through my workstation setup: i3, Firefox, Emacs and shortcuts galore. Theming and translucency.

PuercoPop<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> doesn't ship a goto-line function.

TheSecondVariation<p>Okay this must be a very general problem and I am sure there are clever solutions to it. I recently started to automatize a lot of my backup routines with <a href="https://graz.social/tags/elisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elisp</span></a> and <a href="https://graz.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a>. What I am struggling with is that I constantly have to enter the password for every sudo command, so this is quite annoying. For the email I already use an authinfo file and somehow I should also be able to do that here too I just don't know how.</p>
