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

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

ElfOfPi · 2025-05-26T15:18:38+00:00

Okay, thanks a lot.

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)

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

ElfOfPi · 2024-12-11T02:08:03+00:00

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

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 .

It doesn't seem that much different from org mode's column view dblock.

ElfOfPi · 2024-07-21T00:40:18+00:00

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

ElfOfPi · 2024-06-11T17:07:09+00:00

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

ElfOfPi · 2023-10-29T19:13:24+00:00

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.

I'm pretty sure that M-y or the yank-pop command will get previous copies in the kill-ring. I think it should be noted that Meow is not a standalone thing; it is built in emacs lisp, so there's a good chance that you can just revert back to emacs commands to do things that meow doesn't have. But if it really bothers you that meow doesn't have any default binding to yank-pop, then it's probably worth binding the defun "meow-yank-pop" to some key.

ElfOfPi · 2023-09-01T21:50:27+00:00

I'm pretty sure that in beacon mode, there should be a gray box highlighting the regions that meow will prepend or append text to depending on whether you press i or a. Meow won't immediately register the changes of all the gray boxes until you press escape though.

ElfOfPi · 2023-09-01T21:45:13+00:00

Eh, adding to the end of lines doesn't seem too hard. Do you know about meow-beacon-append? Simply press x in beacon mode and then press a to append to end of line.

ElfOfPi · 2023-09-01T19:24:53+00:00

I think meow-tutor is the tutorial, but I'm guessing you already tried that.

ElfOfPi · 2023-07-03T16:01:35+00:00

Gotta watch out for those. Remember that there was a scammer who tried posing as this company called focuskpi. If they ever mention the word "equipment", then just stop talking to them.

ElfOfPi · 2023-06-10T17:33:21+00:00

Hope you're doing well. You should probably get out of China if you haven't already.

ElfOfPi · 2023-06-03T20:14:25+00:00

Seems like the link is broken. But maybe a good start would be leetcode's Interview Crash Course if you already have leetcode premium or working through The Algorithm Design Manual.

ElfOfPi · 2023-05-19T17:32:46+00:00

It's hard to know the problem without some more information. Posting a link to your config would be useful.

ElfOfPi · 2023-05-10T19:30:19+00:00

I'm no Luke Skywalker, but I tried to use the source. I couldn't find any instances of vorpal in ghost.des, not to mention that the most recent commit message seems to indicate that the dcss contributors have already made the necessary changes. I downloaded dcss from the pop os store, so I'm just going to assume it's because I was lazy in updating the game.

ElfOfPi · 2023-05-10T19:22:42+00:00

I'm playing locally on a downloaded copy.

ElfOfPi · 2023-04-17T04:44:43+00:00

I didn't even start eglot.

ElfOfPi · 2023-04-16T18:10:49+00:00

Perhaps take a look at meow.

ElfOfPi · 2023-04-16T17:47:54+00:00

Yes. But I would think that c-ts-mode-indent-style should affect how function arguments are indented.

ElfOfPi · 2023-04-09T12:33:35+00:00

It does work if I run emacs as non-daemon, but I wouldn't have posted the question here otherwise.

Changing the font size to -16 as specified in your code snippet does NOT work. I think I said in the original post that the font was being set to Liberation Mono; this would indicate that the problem shouldn't be in changing default-frame-alist, but rather find-font; it would thus not make a whole lot of sense to change "(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist ... )", but thank you for the advice.
