Wisdom And Wonder

Via jrm:

[Lisp] is a language that was designed to be used as a tool for thinking about problems, and that is the fun part of programming.

Hello friends. Despite my best efforts, I cannot do my part to add org-utf-to-xetex to MELPA—this is my fault.

Unfortunately, I’m unsure why I can’t fork the repo, but I need your help now.

If you are up for the mission then here are the details.

If you are curious about becoming a co-maintainer—that would be even better! org-utf-to-xetex makes it easy to specify the correct fonts for Unicode characters in primarly Latin character documents. It is a blast to use and makes it easy to add all sorts of characters into your documents that would normally end up looking like this “□□□□□”!

Together, we can get far, and this package is worth it!

The latest version of gptel has some cool features and refinements! See Version v0.9.8 Latest.

Watching gptel get developed is a MASTER CLASS in software development! Observe the constant consideration and addition of user facing features, refinement the existing code, adding new code and concepts (request FSM for example). It is the work of true masters.

If you love programming elisp it is yet another perfect example of writing re-world supportable and maintainable and flexible code. Might sound trifing but here are some elisp features that are extremely useful in real-world programming so check them out if you haven’t before:

• cl-assert
• cl-loop
• cl-typep
• condition-case
• condition-case-unless-debug
• if-let*
• letrec
• pcase-let
• plist-put
• quasiquote
• structs
• when-let

Here are the commits I found cool with a reason why.

Today, I was playing around with hs-minor-mode. hs-show-all and hs-hide-all work great to give you a quick overview of the file. It is so good, in fact, that it #1 deserves a key-binding because you call it a lot, and #2 starts to get tedious alternately calling them. Consequently, I looked for a fix, some kind of toggling function

Here are the Org2Blog updates I forgot to post 🤦🤣.

Microsoft adopts every good idea out there and supports it for decades.

So does Emacs Lisp.
