-([Amin Bandali]: I mean, we are ahead of
-the schedule
-
-00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:03.679
-a little bit, but I mean we also were
-
-00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:05.680
-a little bit earlier in the day.
-
-00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:09.040
-Yeah, I'd say that's fine. Go for it.
-
-00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:10.800
-Take it away.)
-
-00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.240
-[Leo Vivier]: Sure. Thank you. So am I live already?
-
-00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.640
-[Amin]: Yep, you're live.
-
-00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:17.359
-[Leo]: Hello
-
-00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:18.880
-Splendid. So I'll just start the timer to
-
-00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.720
-make sure that I don't go overboard.
-
-00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:22.720
-All right. ([BBB:] you are now muted) Okay, good
-
-00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:24.160
-to go now.
-
-00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.960
-Hello again, everyone! I hope you had,
-
-00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.240
-well, quite a lot of talks
-
-00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.880
-ever since the last one I did, and all
-
-00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:32.000
-more interesting
-
-00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.040
-one after the other.
-
-00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:36.559
-You know, I'm a bit in a bit of a weird
-
-00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:38.239
-spot right now, because I'm supposed to
-
-00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:40.239
-be presenting to you (as you can see on
-my screen)
-
-00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:42.879
-"One big-ass Org file or multiple tiny ones:
-
-00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:44.960
-finally, the end of the debate,"

-00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.160
-and it sounds about as clickbaity
-
-00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:49.760
-as you can possibly get with those
-
-00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:51.280
-topics. By the way,
-
-00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.000
-credit where credit is due, the title
-
-00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.760
-is not mine. It's actually from Bastien
-
-00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:57.039
-Guerry, the current Org
-
-00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.719
-maintainer. Yeah, I wanted to
-
-00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.199
-talk to you a little bit today about
-
-00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:04.879
-this question because
-
-00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.600
-if you are used to going on
-reddit.com/r/emacs ,
-
-00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:09.600
-you know the subreddit that we
-have,
-
-00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:11.840
-if you go on Hacker News often, you know
-
-00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.200
-it's a question that
-
-00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.000
-you see pop up every once in a while.
-
-00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.520
-"Should I be using
-
-00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.640
-one big file, or should I be using
-
-00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.799
-a lot of tiny files?" I believe you
-know
-
-00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.600
-we've got defenders on both sides. If I
-
-00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.520
-just show you one example...
-
-00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.479
-We have Karl Voit. He's one
-
-00:01:32.479 --> 00:01:35.280
-of the organizers for the conference.
-
-00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.920
-He is the guy who probably has the
-
-00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.000
-biggest Org Mode files
-
-00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000
-right now in all the people I know, and
-
-00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.759
-god knows I know plenty of people use
-
-00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:44.479
-Org Mode.
-
-00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:46.880
-But if you just look at this line--I hope
-
-00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:48.320
-it's not too small; you just
-
-00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.360
-make it a little larger--but
-
-00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.719
-Carl basically has a file with
-
-00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.759
-126,000 lines. I'm just going to pause
-
-00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:04.560
-and try to have you imagine how large a
-
-00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.399
-file it actually is.
-
-00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:08.399
-Just think about all of these lines
-
-00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:10.000
-being tasks in your days.
-
-00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.200
-Think about all those lines being about
-little thoughts
-
-00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:14.400
-you know that you've had throughout the
-
-00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.200
-day or project that you were working on.
-
-00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:19.680
-It's massive. You know one of the
-
-00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.920
-problems that Karl Voit actually
-approaches on
-
-00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:27.680
-this topic is that it takes him roughly
-
-00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.160
-20 seconds to get his Org agenda going,
-
-00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:32.400
-which is a massive amount of time.
-
-00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.680
-I mean, we have very fast computers now.
-
-00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.720
-You know, ever since Emacs was created in
-
-00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:42.319
-1976, computers... I have no idea how much faster
-
-00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.440
-they've gotten.
-
-00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:47.760
-And yet, you know, for 100,000 lines,
-
-00:02:47.760 --> 00:02:49.599
-Emacs seems to be choking. It's
-
-00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.120
-certainly not reasonable, in a way, to
-
-00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.720
-have to wait 20 seconds
-
-00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.360
-just for your entire file to be parsed.
-
-00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.040
-So basically what I want to do--
-
-00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:58.480
-By the way, I forgot to introduce the
-
-00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:00.879
-presentation, but I'm Leo Vivier. I did this
-
-00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.879
-before, for those who were around.
-
-00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.519
-I help maintain a software which
-
-00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:06.640
-is called org-roam,
-
-00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:08.560
-and that's the expertise that I have on
-
-00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:09.840
-the topic.
-
-00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.760
-Actually, if you go online, I do have a
-
-00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:13.599
-Github page. I will make sure that you
-
-00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.440
-have all the links available afterwards.
-
-00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:18.640
-But I do publish my init files,
-
-00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:20.720
-and you can see, if you scroll at the
-
-00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:22.319
-bottom, I have a little demonstration
-
-00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.200
-which shows you
-
-00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.519
-the fancy things that I can do with my
-
-00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:28.159
-Org Mode setup. That might be even
-interesting
-
-00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.720
-in light of the talk you've just had
-
-00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:32.319
-about GTD stuff, because
-
-00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.080
-the first one is about how I handle my
-
-00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.159
-projects, the second one is about
-
-00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.680
-the flow from a task as I work on it...
-
-00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.519
-So I won't spend too much time on
-this, but
-
-00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:43.120
-basically that's my expertise.
-
-00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.440
-I have spent eight years
-
-00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:46.959
-working with Org Mode,
-
-00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:48.959
-three of them actually thinking about
-
-00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:50.720
-writing packages.
-
-00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:54.080
-The thing is, if I go into a little
-
-00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.680
-bit of detail (and obviously it's only a
-
-00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:57.760
-lighting talk, so I won't have time to
-
-00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:00.720
-actually go really in depth about it), but
-
-00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:01.840
-there is something
-
-00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.599
-in the Org Mode library which is
-
-00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.200
-called org-element.
-
-00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:07.000
-You have the name right there,
-
-00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.319
-org-element.el,
-
-00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.319
-.el being for Elisp file. As you
-can see,
-
-00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.799
-the page is on the Worg wiki, so it's
-
-00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:16.239
-accessible by everyone.
-
-00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:19.280
-It's basically the API that
-
-00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:23.759
-Org Mode uses to parse Org Mode files.
-
-00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.400
-For those who don't know, parsing
-
-00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:27.199
-means basically
-
-00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.360
-checking a file, checking all the contents
-
-00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.880
-of the file, and extracting all the
-
-00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.880
-information that we need from that file.
-
-00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:34.960
-As you can imagine, you all have
-
-00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:36.560
-Org Mode files in your mind,
-
-00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.240
-well you know they can be fairly complex.
-
-00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.840
-You can have properties,
-
-00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:41.759
-you can have contextual information, like
-
-00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.040
-if you write a line
-
-00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.199
-which starts at column zero (which means
-
-00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.560
-at the left),
-
-00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.000
-it doesn't have the same
-
-00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.680
-meaning, whether or not it is
-
-00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.639
-before the beginning of a headline or if
-
-00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.160
-it is after the beginning of a headline.
-
-00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.199
-It's going to be
-
-00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.759
-relatively different, hierarchically
-
-00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:58.960
-speaking.
-
-00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:02.639
-So the problem, when it comes to the
-question of
-
-00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.759
-many files versus one big file or
-
-00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.560
-few big files, is that we always have to
-
-00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:09.600
-keep in mind
-
-00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.880
-what org-element wants you to do.
-
-00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:15.680
-The thing is, there are plenty of
-
-00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.440
-problems when it comes to parsing files,
-
-00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.330
-the first one being obviously
-
-00:05:19.330 --> 00:05:22.160
-that Emacs is a single-thread
-
-00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.880
-process (or has some threading
-
-00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:26.400
-capabilities; we're not going to go into
-
-00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:28.639
-the details right now, that's not my goal).
-
-00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.400
-It makes it incredibly hard to
-
-00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:35.919
-parallelize parsing processes
-
-00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:39.280
-with the current technology.
-
-00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:42.320
-So you'd have to imagine that if you
-
-00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:44.080
-have a very large file--if you go back
-
-00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:46.479
-to the example of Karl Voit from before:
-
-00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:49.199
-100,000 lines--that means that you have
-
-00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.000
-to scan
-
-00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.320
-through every single line, basically.
-
-00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:53.759
-Because sometimes... Let's just say that
-
-00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.080
-you have a property drawer, for instance,
-
-00:05:56.080 --> 00:05:59.440
-which tells you, oh okay, this tree
-
-00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:03.520
-has the tag :foo:. So the problem is, there
-
-00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:05.120
-are multiple ways for you
-
-00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.720
-to define a tag. You can use the
-
-00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.840
-usual way, which is about wrapping in
-
-00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.000
-columns the :tag: at the end of a heading.
-
-00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.160
-For instance, if I... (I'm not going to
-
-00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.360
-switch to Emacs, that's going to waste too
-
-00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.240
-much time)
-
-00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.520
-That's one way to say your tag.
-But say,
-
-00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:23.520
-you have tag inheritance, which means
-
-00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:25.360
-that when you have a parent with a tag,
-
-00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.160
-you also want the child to inherit the
-
-00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:29.520
-tag. If you have
-
-00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.400
-first heading with the tag :foo:, you have
-
-00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:33.680
-the first subheading,
-
-00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.520
-and the tag :foo: is implied. Now imagine
-
-00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:39.680
-having to do that with a file that is
-
-00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.039
-completely nested,
-
-00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:44.160
-a file that has maybe 9, 10,
-
-00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.280
-11 levels of depth to it.
-
-00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.039
-It's mind-bogglingly complicated for the
-
-00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:51.039
-software to do that, knowing that... I've
-
-00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:52.639
-told you about tags,
-
-00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.919
-but any property can be inheritable.
-
-00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:58.639
-Anything like priorities, even. Though why
-
-00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.240
-would you do this?
-
-00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.759
-You can have groups. You can have all this.
-
-00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.599
-And as someone who went through the trouble
-
-00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:07.199
-of optimizing his Org agenda... So
-
-00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.560
-basically, if we go back to the
-
-00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.160
-GIFs--oh god we've already had this
-discussion
-
-00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.479
-between the "git" and "magit" and now I've
-
-00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:16.400
-started "gif" and "gif" and I only have one
-
-00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:18.080
-more minute left to do so, so let's just
-
-00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:19.599
-say I'm going to say "gif"
-
-00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:23.599
-just to spite people... So if you go on
-
-00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:26.880
-the way I organize my agenda, what I did
-
-00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:29.120
-in order to keep my agenda build time
-
-00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.960
-under two seconds,
-
-00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:33.440
-is that I've rewritten a whole lot of
-
-00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:36.560
-codes to be able to parse my Org agenda
-files.
-
-00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.080
-So the thing is, I'm going to be talking
-
-00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:41.360
-more about this later.
-
-00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.440
-I only have, let's say, one minute to
-
-00:07:43.440 --> 00:07:44.479
-conclude.
-
-00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:47.440
-So as you've gathered, I'm not going to
-
-00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:48.479
-be giving you the answer right now.
-
-00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:51.039
-I'm going to be talking about
-
-00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:53.440
-org-roam a little later, which is about
-
-00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:55.680
-following the principle of having many
-
-00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.759
-small files.
-
-00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.120
-But as someone who has been using
-
-00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.960
-one large file to manage my life,
-
-00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:04.879
-you know, I'm sitting on the fence.
-
-00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.319
-I do not know which one is the best,
-
-00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.560
-but I hope that my presentation has
-
-00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.240
-given you a little idea
-
-00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.199
-of what goes on behind the principles.
-
-00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:16.560
-You also need to think about the
-
-00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.560
-philosophy behind the organization of
-
-00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:19.120
-your notes.
-
-00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.039
-I hope to be approaching this topic
-
-00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:23.280
-with you in about
-
-00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:25.360
-two hours or so (maybe one hour actually).
-
-00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.520
-I'm actually finished. I've decided to
-
-00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:28.960
-leave you two minutes of questions.
-
-00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:31.520
-If someone could feed me the
-
-00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:32.880
-questions, that might be best,
-
-00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:34.399
-because I don't want... oh actually I can
-
-00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.240
-just open the pad.
-
-00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.919
-I can just open it. Give me a second, okay.
-
-00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:43.039
-Just loading up. I might stop showing
-
-00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:43.839
-my screen.
-
-00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:46.959
-That might make it easier. So I mean if
-
-00:08:46.959 --> 00:08:47.519
-you can make
-
-00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.360
-myself big now on the screen, that would
-
-00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.000
-be splendid. ([Amin]: yeah sure)
-
-00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.839
-Thank you. Where are we...
-
-00:08:55.839 --> 00:08:58.720
-Question 12. Okay, so what's better, one
-
-00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.160
-big file or...?
-
-00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:02.160
-Is it a jab to tell me that I
-
-00:09:02.160 --> 00:09:03.120
-haven't answered the question because
-
-00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.240
-someone just
-
-00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.320
-asked me the question? Well, personally, if
-
-00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.080
-I were to give you a quick answer in
-
-00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:11.600
-20 seconds, personally, I think it's a
-
-00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.920
-question that is contextually based.
-
-00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:15.680
-Do you want something that is efficient
-
-00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.839
-as far as optimization is concerned?
-
-00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:21.200
-Then you need to think about
-
-00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.440
-this. Personally, for all the
-
-00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.640
-organization that I do,
-
-00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:27.760
-all this stuff, all the TODOs that I
-handle,
-
-00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:30.080
-I like to do this in one simple big file
-
-00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.519
-because you benefit from all the
-
-00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.760
-refiling capabilities of Org Mode,
-
-00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:37.200
-so I would do that. But for knowledge
-management,
-
-00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.080
-for note-taking and all this, well I'd
-
-00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.279
-much rather follow the
-
-00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.959
-org-roam way of doing things, which is
-
-00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:44.480
-about having many
-
-00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.240
-small files. I'm not getting any
-
-00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.000
-more questions. I'm not sure if there is
-
-00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.080
-one on IRC that could be fed to me.
-
-00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:57.040
-Otherwise, I'm happy to pass over to
-the next speaker.
-
-00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.360
-By the way, just before I finish, your
-
-00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.360
-world is a lie. It's not a three-piece
-
-00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.399
-suit. I'm wearing jeans below, so I hope
-
-00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.520
-that satisfies your curiosity.
-
-00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:12.640
-Okay, there's one more question appearing.
-
-00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:15.040
-"but otherwise one big file to have
-
-00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:17.680
-everything..." So I'm putting you on the
-
-00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:19.760
-spot, I believe. It was such a short talk.
-
-00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:21.040
-You know the problem is,
-
-00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:24.720
-I just wanted to give you a little
-answer.
-
-00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.959
-A little, you know, path of thinking on
-
-00:10:26.959 --> 00:10:27.920
-this topic.
-
-00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:29.839
-Obviously it's a topic I could be
-
-00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:31.600
-spending 40 minutes on,
-
-00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.200
-but I'm going to be drained, you're going to
-
-00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.120
-be drained, nobody's going to be happy
-
-00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:35.680
-if I do this.
-
-00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.200
-Someone asked me if I switch between
-
-00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.880
-British and French accents.
-
-00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:46.560
-A little secret for you:
-
-00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:48.480
-when I'm stressed, I tend to revert to a
-
-00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.760
-French accent,
-
-00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:53.760
-so you can measure the amount of stress
-
-00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:56.160
-that I'm feeling during this talk
-
-00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:58.880
-with the amount of h's that I drop and
-
-00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:02.720
-the amount of sheer fright that you can
-see sometimes
-
-00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.399
-in my eyes, when I'm thinking about what
-
-00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.240
-to say next.
-
-00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.880
-All right sir. So, Amin, do you believe
-
-00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:14.240
-we can leave it at that? I'll be...
-
-00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.519
-People will see plenty more of me
-
-00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.040
-later on, anyway.
-
-00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:20.640
-([Amin:] So, looking at the schedule,
-I think
-
-00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:23.920
-your talk has until like 2:02, meaning
-
-00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:27.120
-like five or six minutes from now.)
-
-00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.000
-Oh, right.
-
-00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.000
-([Amin:] So if you do like to take one
-
-00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.680
-or two questions, to add two more
-
-00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:33.920
-questions, by all means.)
-
-00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:37.040
-So someone has asked me what is
-
-00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:38.320
-the Emacs
-
-00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.640
-icon (sorry, see, another French accent)
-
-00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:42.880
-here in my status bar...
-
-00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:44.880
-Oh sorry, I'm not sharing any more.
-
-00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.640
-I might just share again just so that
-
-00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:49.200
-everyone can catch a glimpse of that.
-
-00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:53.120
-There we go. Allow...
-
-00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.880
-So it should be... So if you could make me
-
-00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:56.240
-small again, Amin, I'm not sure if it's
-
-00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:56.959
-going to do it
-
-00:11:56.959 --> 00:12:00.480
-by itself, but I do have a little icon
-
-00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.839
-here in my status bar
-
-00:12:01.839 --> 00:12:04.480
-which is basically a way to interact
-
-00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.760
-with org-protocol.
-
-00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:09.120
-I'm not going to look for it right now,
-
-00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.800
-but it's a browser extension that is
-
-00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:12.399
-developed by one of my friends
-
-00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.680
-over at Ranger whose name is Li Fon (??) and
-
-00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:18.240
-it's very useful. I'm someone who uses a
-
-00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.320
-lot of Org protocols. And by the way,
-
-00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.279
-I used to teach English to high
-schoolers, and they
-
-00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.279
-were supremely worried
-
-00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.600
-when I showed them my status line and they
-
-00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.000
-saw "kill" and "explore" in my status
-line.
-
-00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.560
-As fellow Emacs users, you know that
-
-00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:40.880
-obviously kill means to kill a selection
-of text and
-
-00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:44.320
-keep it inside your clipboard,
-
-00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.279
-but for my students, they
-
-00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.320
-were very worried
-
-00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.600
-about what their professor was up to
-
-00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.600
-during his nights.
-
-00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.120
-So let's see if we've got more questions.
-
-00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.560
-I'm showing you the questions on the
-
-00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:57.920
-rainbow. Let's see if
-
-00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:00.560
-we've got more. People are posting a
-
-00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:01.920
-lot of questions now.
-
-00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:03.920
-So how do you feel about archiving files
-
-00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:06.399
-in Org Mode and how can that work?
-
-00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.360
-So one of the things when we think about
-
-00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.920
-optimization is: yes, archiving done trees
-
-00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:16.240
-is a good idea because it means that if
-
-00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.920
-we go back to the org-element, the way it
-
-00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:20.399
-works (and we'll get into technical details
-
-00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.079
-afterwards; I'm giving a presentation
-
-00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:24.079
-about org-roam technical
-
-00:13:24.079 --> 00:13:26.880
-aspects, sorry, so I'll have a chance to
-
-00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:28.399
-expand a little more on this)
-
-00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.360
-but basically, org-element needs to...
-
-00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.279
-Every time it sees a TODO, it has to
-consider it,
-
-00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.320
-even though it is a done TODO. Why?
-
-00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.000
-Because let's say, for instance, that in
-
-00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.839
-your agenda you want to activate
-
-00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:45.519
-log mode, which is going to show the
-
-00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.959
-tasks which are done... Now you could be
-
-00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:51.440
-clever and say, oh okay, the Org agenda does not
-
-00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.360
-need to show done items, so it's not going
-
-00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.880
-to look for them,
-
-00:13:54.880 --> 00:13:56.959
-but the problem is that org-element is
-
-00:13:56.959 --> 00:13:59.519
-always called. It always needs to parse
-the buffer.
-
-00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.839
-You know, Nicolas Goaziou, who is the
-
-00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:03.519
-French developer who's worked a whole
-
-00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.040
-lot on org-element
-
-00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:07.440
-has gone through a lot of trouble to
-
-00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.600
-optimize org-element, but the problem is
-
-00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.279
-there's just so much that we can do with
-
-00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:14.720
-a concurrent process.
-
-00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:18.560
-Right now it leaves somewhat
-
-00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:21.120
-things to be desired, but
-
-00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.079
-we're working on it.
-
-00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:24.800
-One more time... I feel like I spent
-
-00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:25.839
-half of this talk
-
-00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:28.000
-teasing my next talks, but I'll be
-
-00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.360
-talking more about this
-
-00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.279
-in my future talks in about one to two
-
-00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:32.639
-hours.
-
-00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.959
-So, continuing with questions, how big are
-
-00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:36.079
-my Org files?
-
-00:14:36.079 --> 00:14:37.760
-So in the background, I'm just going to
-
-00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:40.720
-check how many lines I have in my main
-file.
-
-00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.959
-In my own file, so the one I told you
-
-00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:44.079
-about where I keep all
-
-00:14:44.079 --> 00:14:47.279
-my TODO GTD stuff, I have
-
-00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.720
-38,000 lines, which is...
-
-00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.000
-It's sizable, definitely.
-
-00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.040
-But I do archive a lot of stuff,
-
-00:14:57.040 --> 00:14:58.480
-so that might be a slight difference
-
-00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.880
-between myself and Karl Voit,
-
-00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:02.079
-even though I don't remember if they
-
-00:15:02.079 --> 00:15:04.880
-actually archive stuff.
-
-00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:06.639
-So does it not consume more resources
-
-00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.480
-and time to load multiple files
-
-00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.839
-files than a large file or the same
-
-00:15:10.839 --> 00:15:12.560
-content now?
-
-00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:15.839
-Theoretically, yes, having many files
-
-00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:19.279
-open concurrently is slightly slower
-
-00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.240
-than having one main file opened.
-
-00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.160
-Now the problem is for those of you who
-
-00:15:24.160 --> 00:15:25.279
-have large files,
-
-00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.199
-you may have noticed that when you are
-
-00:15:27.199 --> 00:15:29.360
-scrolling in a very large file,
-
-00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.560
-it starts taking quite a bit of time. Why?
-
-00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:34.480
-It's because in Org Mode,
-
-00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.920
-you have a lot of content
-
-00:15:35.920 --> 00:15:38.959
-that is hidden, so when you have
-
-00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:40.959
-the view mode which hides as much stuff
-
-00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:43.600
-as possible, meaning that you only see
-
-00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.360
-the top heading--and I'm checking the
-
-00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.880
-time, Amin, don't worry, I'm finished
-
-00:15:46.880 --> 00:15:50.240
-on this one--
-
-00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.160
-when you're hiding a whole lot of stuff,
-
-00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:54.720
-Org Mode needs to keep track, or I
-should say,
-
-00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.959
-Emacs needs to keep track of which areas
-
-00:15:56.959 --> 00:15:58.160
-of text to show
-
-00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:00.560
-and which areas of text to hide.
-
-00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:02.320
-The problem is that when you're hiding stuff--
-
-00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.480
-let's say you're moving from the
-
-00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.320
-first heading to the second heading,
-
-00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.639
-but you've got like 10,000 lines between
-
-00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.839
-those two headings--
-
-00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:11.519
-well, Emacs needs to compute the
-
-00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.680
-difference between the two passages,
-
-00:16:13.680 --> 00:16:15.680
-and that takes quite a lot of time.
-
-00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:18.560
-That's why you might realize that it's
-a little
-
-00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:21.199
-choppy when you start scrolling in large
-files.
-
-00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:22.560
-Anyway I could be answering questions
-
-00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:25.120
-about Org Mode for literally two hours
-straight,
-
-00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.720
-so I'm gonna hand it over to the next
-
-00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.639
-speakers. I'll be seeing
-
-00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.759
-you guys a little later. ([Amin]: Thank you
-
-00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.440
-very much, Leo.)
-
-00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.959
-Oh, thank you. ([Amin:] Yes. Bye.)
-
-00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:39.839
-Bye.
