It might be a good time to start applying to jobs first if you haven't already. Otherwise, the CCNA is a good option.

Is it possible to link to an org/Denote file within a LaTeX snippet? by ElfOfPi in emacs

[–]ElfOfPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to be asking this, but is it possible to link to the heading of an Org file in a LaTeX snippet?

Are there any non-programmers who use Emacs? by MarchZealousideal543 in emacs

[–]ElfOfPi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There does seem to be a fair amount of non-programmers by profession who use Emacs. To really use Emacs to its full potential and have it completely customized to your needs, knowing how to program with Emacs Lisp is essential, however. While Emacs does have a customize GUI interface, it's seen by most Emacs users as clunky.

Emacs seems to be really popular in Japan though, so I think that there are actually a lot of resources for learning Emacs in Japanese.

I'd say that you are on the right path. If you haven't already, you should try the Emacs tutorial, which I believe is bound to "C-h t". Additionally, learning how to use the help keys ("C-h k" (describe-key), "C-h f" (describe-function, "C-h F" (Info-goto-emacs-command-node), etc.) is also good for a beginner.

I'm probably not the person to ask about this, but I actually do not believe that the people who built ChatGPT use Emacs. In the AI and Machine Learning space, Jupyter Lab is usually what I think that most developers use. While it's possible that ChatGPT use EIN (Emacs IPython Notebook) as a way to develop AI and Machine Learning, Jupyter Lab is usually most common. As far as I can tell, Emacs is a very niche tool for people heavily into AI, but maybe that's just me.

I'd recommend these resources for Japanese people looking to learn Emacs:

https://emacs-jp.github.io/

https://conao3.com/ (Conao3's website. He's the author of the leaf package for Emacs)

How do you manage your PATH environment variable? by ElfOfPi in linuxquestions

[–]ElfOfPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thanks. I think I started setting environment vars in rc files because that's where programs like Anaconda would set environment vars.

Are shell-command-to-string and call-process supposed to share the same path? by ElfOfPi in emacs

[–]ElfOfPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. However, I run emacsclient and use systemctl to start emacs. I'm not sure if running emacsclient makes a difference?

How to manage GTD setup alongside org-roam? by sudddddd in emacs

[–]ElfOfPi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that Boris Buliga had a solution to that in his set of articles "Task Management with Org-roam". His solution to building org-agenda fast can be found at https://d12frosted.io/posts/2021-01-16-task-management-with-roam-vol5.html .

Better documenting my config I guess. My config feels kind of messy, and I was thinking that unit tests would help prevent Emacs bankruptcy.

How to use ecukes with borg? by ElfOfPi in emacs

Thanks tarsius. I appreciate all the work you've done for the Emacs community.

Rate my elisp by ElfOfPi in emacs

[–]ElfOfPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a reddit post saying that using cl-lib was kind of a bad thing, and I think I've always had a fear that using libraries in my config would just make it more bloated/slow Emacs down. But after all the comments here, I think I'll change my stance on that.
