Caillet in Andler & Guerry, +Engelbart) of Emacs. Emacs affords diverse possibilities for +individuals to interact creatively and autonomously with their digital +environment and others to satisfy their own needs (Illich) and +fulfills the promise of digital tools to help enhance our learning +(e.g. Engelbart), balancing creativity with guidance (Goodyear & +Retalis). + + +# Intro + +Emacs allows for play with formality and does not limit imaginable +types of interactivity, supporting both formal and informal learning +(cf. Caillet in Andler & Guerry 2008), therefore it can function as a +scaffold for development (cf. Vygotsky 1979: 86) and the creative and +autonomous ability of individuals to interact with their digital +environment and others who equally share the ability to use this tool +(Illich 1973). Individuals can use Emacs as often or seldom as they +want to express their needs and meaning in action, with no obligation +to use it (cf. Illich 1973: 22). + +The formal learning involved pertains to Emacs documentation (the +'temple') while related discussion and copying of or composing parts +of inits or smaller task-based problem solving represents the +'forum'. The latter, demonstrative of technology-enhanced learning, +allows for engagement in diverse and individual levels of learning, +balancing creativity with guidance (Goodyear & Retalis 2010: 4). + +1. What if we are beginners overwhelmed by formal Emacs documentation? Two possible learning paths: + + - a. Build on a needs-basis. Brief explanation and rationale [1 para]. + - b. Study others' inits and use-cases; Read Planet EmacsLife; Consult what programmers or power users say [1 link example for each]. + +2.

Illich 1973). +- Emacs thus allows us to control our tools and tasks (Illich 1973: +- in order to release ourselves from the tasks of *automatic* maintenance (cf. Latour's 1987 simple customers'). By contrast, the care-less use of automatizing pre-fabricated apps leads to knowledge loss and loss of know-how in life (Stiegler 2018). + +- Emacs fulfills the promise of the value of technology-enhanced learning (Goodyear & Retalis 2010) e.g. by augmenting OUR intellect (cf. Engelbart 1962), not automatizing our knowledge to smaller repetitive tasks that contribute to a larger picture we cannot see. + +# Conclusion + +Emacs does not limit any imaginable type of interactivity and promotes +a diversity of related content, further supporting pursuit of more +advanced technology-enhanced learning (TEL). TEL, with its current +*general* reliance on pre-fabricated one-size-fits-all software, does +not reach its potential where it uses apps or tools that automatize +knowledge. By contrast, Emacs enables us to learn this knowledge work, +and supports informal learning at all levels. This includes the most +basic needs-use level while also inviting us through its myriad +use-case examples to learn how work is managed, organized, and +coordinated for the benefit of the diverse community made possible by +maintainers and developers. Using Emacs not only means being able to +use this digital tool, but to learn about the structure of digital +learning and learning in general. + + +# References + +- <https://github.com/redguardtoo/mastering-emacs-in-one-year-guide/blob/master/guide-en.org#on-the-shoulders-of-giants> +- <https://planet.emacslife.com/> +- <https://bzg.fr/en/some-emacs-org-mode-features-you-may-not-know/> +- <https://www.kpkaiser.com/programming/writing-a-technical-book-in-emacs-and-org-mode/> +- <https://github.com/zzkt/oblique-strategies> +- <https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/08/08/What-we-are-using-org-mode-for/> +- Bruce, B. & Levin, J.

Babel takes org a step further +by letting you write, evaluate, and export code in different languages +from within a single file. In this talk, I will highlight some +features of babel that I find exciting and extremely useful, +particularly for an academic workflow. + +Getting started with babel can be intimidating, but it's hard to stop +using it once you start. As an academic, I typically don't manage +large coding projects. My primary purpose is writing lecture notes, +assignments, and papers, and managing related admin. Typically, I want +to try and automate the boring portions of my workflow without extra +overhead. I also tend to find various tasks easier in some programming +languages and harder in others, and prefer to mix and match languages +as the task dictates. Babel makes this process seamless. + +A basic use case is writing a document in org-mode and exporting it to +LaTeX or HTML. Org-mode even lets you write multiple documents in a +single org file, which can be convenient. Babel lets you add all sorts +of enhancements to the same file. For example, suppose we have a +single org document with all the problem sets for a course. Within +this single file, we could now: + +- draw pictures in ditaa, graphviz, or python instead of LaTeX, +- use python to do complex calculations and then output the result as LaTeX, +- define skeletons to quickly draw up assignment templates, +- toggle exporting of assignments with or without solutions based on tags, +- locally change export settings or run a post-export hook, +- automatically export to LaTeX after saving, +- tangle code blocks from some or all of the languages to external files. + +I will try to showcase features of babel that academics could find +helpful, by presenting some ways in which I have tried to use babel. I +would also like to be inspired by other people's babel workflows! + + + +# Outline + +- 5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline) + +For a 5-10 minute presentation I will give a brief intro and present one or two example files that heavily use babel.

So: suppose that we have a Lua script that we wrote, that +is called "foo.lua" and that defines lots of functions and defines the +classes Bar and Bletch. We can put after the definition of the class +Bar a multi-line comment that contains an eepitch block that when +executed starts a Lua interpreter, loads the script foo.lua (by +running 'dofile "foo.lua"'), and then has several tests for that class +and its methods; and we can put another block with tests like that +after the class Bletch, and other blocks after some functions. Eepitch +allows sending these tests line by line to the Lua interpreter by +typing <f8> on each line that we want to send, and this lets us create +tests that are very easy to understand even without writing comments; +this gives us a very quick way to document code by executable tests, +that is super-great for experimental code that is still going to +change a lot before running the risk of being read by other people. + +These multi-line comments with eepitch blocks that run an interpreter +and make it load the current file are called "test blocks". The +command \`M-x eeit' inserts a test block at point, using the major mode +to decide the right syntax to use for the multi-line comments and for +the "dofile". We can configure the syntax of the test blocks for the +current major mode by running \`M-x find-eeit-links'; this can also be +used to add support for test blocks to more languages (or, more +precisely: to more major modes). + +Cheers =), + Eduardo Ochs + <http://angg.twu.net/#eev> + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/test-schedule)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/test-nav)" raw="yes"]] diff --git a/2021/talks/ui.md b/2021/talks/ui.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..01ed2b26 --- /dev/null +++ b/2021/talks/ui.md @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +[[!meta title=""Yak-shaving to a UI framework" (/"Help!
