paxperscientiam / kill-ring-save-and-osx-clipboard.el
Last active October 22, 2015 19:17
Just a bit of emacs lisp that maps both `kill-ring-save' and `simpleclip-copy' to M-w
(require 'simpleclip)
(simpleclip-mode 1)
(define-key global-map (kbd "M-w")
(defun kill-save-copy-to-clipboard ()
"The function kill-save-copy-to-clipboard uses `simpleclip-mode' to
kill-ring-save and copy to osx clipboard using a common shortcut."
(interactive)
(if (use-region-p)
(kill-ring-save (region-beginning) (region-end)
(simpleclip-copy (region-beginning) (region-end))))))

Quite possibly the only way to export UTF8 formatted data from Excel 2011!

Demonstration of how braces expansion can be used to shorten $PATH string.
# Version 1.0
# Pax Per Scientiam
# Bash "brace expansion" can be used to compactify long lists of paths.
# I've come up with some basic syntax rules to demonstrate this.
# For the simplest directory structure (i.e. /x00{,/x10{,/x20{,/x30}}}, the expansion result is...
# input>
CDPATH=`printf %s\\: /x00{,/x10{,/x20{,/x30}}}` && echo $CDPATH
# output> /x00:/x00/x10:/x00/x10/x20:/x00/x10/x20/x30:

paxperscientiam / UDF_NearestInteger.bas
Created November 5, 2015 02:47
An Excel VBA UDF to round a decimal number to the nearest integer.
Function getRoundInteger(num As Double) As Double
Const BUG As Boolean = 1
Dim er As Integer: er = 0
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' getRoundInteger( ) v.1.0
' Function getRoundInteger( ) takes a double and uses the "rounds half up" method (towards +∞) to get the nearest "integer".
' The error stuff was just an experiment that will get it's on follow up.
' Works pretty well, though use at your own discretion!

This is pretty much ripped directly from a posting I made on Reddit. I'm putting it here for posterity. Please note that I'm using the Excel 2011 (Mac) version of structured reference syntax, which I think is a bit different than that of Excel 2013 (Windows).
I've long wondered if there were a simpler way to get the relative row number of an Excel Table.
This has been my usual go to (refers to some table called "Table1" and some column therein called "column1"),which is entered into column1:
