Prompted from the latest #Emacs Canvas patch discussion, me and @minad worked on making canvas work in display margins. We wondered if it would work in the mode-line, and voila it does! Look at that looping magical thing in the mode-line. The best part is that none of this is memory intensive or laggy anymore :D

@dougmerritt linked me this great #scheme thing (good-old-fashioned completion). https://github.com/ashinn/scheme-complete

I suppose I will dig up links afterwards.

@Zenie is a lisp user always worth hearing who is walking the environmental walk. (In dialogue with #emacs #orgmode's @yantar92 )

@jameshowell Sometime I felt it weird that a computer program can be a way of life for so many people.

But then I realized that emacs is also one of my ways of life as well.

Every few years I appear to create a small emacs package. This time, motivated by working with my Jekyll files I wrote a sidebar for navigating sets of markdown and org files.

Just posted a call for feedback for a small package I'm working on. If you're an #Emacs + immutable distro user or simply if you use #Toolbox, check it out!

You know what this means, right?

IT MEANS I CAN RUN EMACS ON IT

currently, i'm trying out mastodon.el, again. i stopped using it for no reason other than the prettiness of the official client. however, given #emacs is my environment for the most part these days, it's time to give the emacs mastodon client a go once more!

Some ways to navigate through 'git blame' over time in GNU Emacs https://lobste.rs/s/hhuk8a #emacs
https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/EmacsGitBlameOverTime

Right.
Indeed, as I noted, my memory needed refreshing on this, which I just had an opportunity to do.

«Since the old `cl.el' does not use a clean namespace, Emacs has a policy that packages distributed with Emacs must not load `cl' at run time.
(It is ok for them to load `cl' at _compile_ time, with `eval-when-compile', and use the macros it provides.)
There is no such restriction on the use of `cl-lib'.
New code should use `cl-lib' rather than `cl'.»

Since Emacs 24.3.

Have you come across the variable parse-sexp-lookup-properties in #emacs? Apparently one can attach syntax tables to text! I learned about this magic detail thanks to an issue in my Jinx spell checker package.

Question for #emacs #orgmode folks. I'm trying to set up my teaching slides in Org to be easier to export to a variety of formats for students. The documentation is really clear about how to add captions to images, and its working my test exports to .odt files. However, I'm having trouble finding info on how to add alt-text. I may just be missing it, but can anyone point me in the right direction?

I use #WriteGood for prose analysis in #Emacs for #Org_mode files and #markdown. I consider myself a competent writer that mostly appreciates flagging passive sentences (from command line utility that doesn't require an online service).

New team uses #just, and write-good flags that word as a weasel word. Fair enough, but I don't want to see a slew of red lines. So I use #remark to strip words in backtick quotes before write-good analysis.

Connected to #flycheck ftw:

Needed to do some file system archaeology to find some work I did back in… 1993.
find-grep-dired and locate-with-filter commands FTW.
