0:00:00.799,0:00:05.520
perfect um yes

0:00:03.360,0:00:06.879
seeing all the questions flow in um

0:00:05.520,0:00:09.519
starting from one

0:00:06.879,0:00:10.400
uh yes i use emacs for all of my school

0:00:09.519,0:00:13.599
assignments

0:00:10.400,0:00:14.880
um including like mla formatted essays

0:00:13.599,0:00:16.800
and things like that

0:00:14.880,0:00:18.960
um i've actually found it really easy

0:00:16.800,0:00:22.080
too just with some template files

0:00:18.960,0:00:25.199
to set up the latex stuff

0:00:22.080,0:00:26.400
and yeah i have one org mode file that i

0:00:25.199,0:00:29.599
use as a template

0:00:26.400,0:00:31.599
with latex fragments and then i export

0:00:29.599,0:00:32.960
just at work mode without the extra

0:00:31.599,0:00:35.200
formatting

0:00:32.960,0:00:37.600
and that's helped a lot with very

0:00:35.200,0:00:40.719
specifically formatted stuff

0:00:37.600,0:00:42.559
um what do my friends think

0:00:40.719,0:00:45.120
at first i was talking about it all the

0:00:42.559,0:00:46.960
time um and so

0:00:45.120,0:00:48.320
especially like one of my closest

0:00:46.960,0:00:51.120
friends

0:00:48.320,0:00:52.160
i was telling her about it and at some

0:00:51.120,0:00:54.160
point she was just like

0:00:52.160,0:00:55.360
you gotta stop talking about emacs i'm

0:00:54.160,0:00:58.960
happy for you but

0:00:55.360,0:01:00.960
it's too much um so i think i

0:00:58.960,0:01:04.960
overwhelmed them a little bit at first

0:01:00.960,0:01:08.000
um but i think ever since i've sort of

0:01:04.960,0:01:09.920
formulated my configuration and i um

0:01:08.000,0:01:11.600
just been working with that workflow i

0:01:09.920,0:01:12.320
haven't had to talk about it as much i'm

0:01:11.600,0:01:14.880
not

0:01:12.320,0:01:15.439
um discovering like new things every day

0:01:14.880,0:01:17.200
as i

0:01:15.439,0:01:19.600
was at the beginning although there are

0:01:17.200,0:01:22.159
still many many things to discover

0:01:19.600,0:01:23.280
um and so yeah i haven't been

0:01:22.159,0:01:25.280
overwhelming them

0:01:23.280,0:01:27.040
as much but they're still like with my

0:01:25.280,0:01:28.080
friends and family if i mention emacs

0:01:27.040,0:01:32.079
they're like oh

0:01:28.080,0:01:35.439
oh boy here we go um

0:01:32.079,0:01:35.920
yeah so lecture speed um i type pretty

0:01:35.439,0:01:38.960
fast

0:01:35.920,0:01:42.320
um so usually around like 100 110

0:01:38.960,0:01:43.840
words per minute and so that just in

0:01:42.320,0:01:46.079
general helps

0:01:43.840,0:01:47.600
also yeah snippet i think that's how you

0:01:46.079,0:01:50.960
pronounce it

0:01:47.600,0:01:53.920
i use a lot of snippets for

0:01:50.960,0:01:54.640
latex fragments integrals uh you know

0:01:53.920,0:01:58.079
you name it

0:01:54.640,0:02:01.360
sums um and then

0:01:58.079,0:02:04.320
uh yes i do have a git repo um

0:02:01.360,0:02:05.360
it is not public currently i think um

0:02:04.320,0:02:07.119
but i could

0:02:05.360,0:02:09.200
i could probably make that public at

0:02:07.119,0:02:11.120
some point um

0:02:09.200,0:02:12.959
and yeah latex fibers have been a

0:02:11.120,0:02:15.680
lifesaver in everything

0:02:12.959,0:02:16.959
um i've even gotten like pretty used to

0:02:15.680,0:02:19.040
typing matrices

0:02:16.959,0:02:20.480
um taking linear algebra this year you

0:02:19.040,0:02:20.879
have to do a lot of like you know

0:02:20.480,0:02:22.959
there's

0:02:20.879,0:02:25.040
matrices determinants things like that

0:02:22.959,0:02:26.720
um and i've gotten better at typing

0:02:25.040,0:02:29.040
those as well

0:02:26.720,0:02:29.040
um

0:02:32.319,0:02:37.120
i think i think it does help yeah for

0:02:35.120,0:02:39.840
sure i think

0:02:37.120,0:02:41.040
having a structured system um with

0:02:39.840,0:02:44.239
school

0:02:41.040,0:02:45.920
or school makes it easier to have a very

0:02:44.239,0:02:48.720
structured system

0:02:45.920,0:02:49.519
i made a script to sort of fetch

0:02:48.720,0:02:51.519
assignments

0:02:49.519,0:02:53.440
and that has been given me like a good

0:02:51.519,0:02:55.440
playground

0:02:53.440,0:02:57.040
to test out these things in a very

0:02:55.440,0:03:00.720
structured sort of

0:02:57.040,0:03:02.720
environment um so fetching assignments

0:03:00.720,0:03:05.440
where to put them into augmented files

0:03:02.720,0:03:09.040
the data that i can include in those

0:03:05.440,0:03:12.640
um and then doing everything else

0:03:09.040,0:03:14.720
um yeah i think that has been

0:03:12.640,0:03:17.599
really really helpful um and just

0:03:14.720,0:03:20.080
jumping jumping questions

0:03:17.599,0:03:20.879
uh i'm just uh interjecting for a second

0:03:20.080,0:03:22.080
if you could just take

0:03:20.879,0:03:24.400
one or two more questions that would be

0:03:22.080,0:03:26.799
perfect sounds good

0:03:24.400,0:03:27.920
um i used vim in the first place mainly

0:03:26.799,0:03:31.120
for programming

0:03:27.920,0:03:32.720
um that was i didn't use it for markdown

0:03:31.120,0:03:35.840
or anything

0:03:32.720,0:03:37.200
but i got used to some of the keybinds

0:03:35.840,0:03:39.599
and actually funnily enough when i

0:03:37.200,0:03:42.239
started using emacs i started using more

0:03:39.599,0:03:43.440
vim keybinds got used to the hjkl and

0:03:42.239,0:03:47.680
all that stuff

0:03:43.440,0:03:51.440
and finally um i would probably

0:03:47.680,0:03:53.840
use doom or space max i started an emac

0:03:51.440,0:03:56.560
circle but i haven't done much yet

0:03:53.840,0:03:57.920
so probably something like that and

0:03:56.560,0:04:00.239
really the important thing is having a

0:03:57.920,0:04:02.239
reason to use emacs

0:04:00.239,0:04:03.920
and so i would try to find that for for

0:04:02.239,0:04:06.319
every person

0:04:03.920,0:04:07.920
but yeah thank you very much for for

0:04:06.319,0:04:08.239
listening to my talk and listening to my

0:04:07.920,0:04:10.720
