So hi, everyone. Sorry, we were doing some last minute verification + +00:07.200 --> 00:12.720 +with Blaine. We wanted to share screens, but somehow the Firefox gods are not in our favor + +00:12.720 --> 00:15.640 +today. So hi, Blaine. How are you doing? + +00:15.640 --> 00:21.480 +I'm doing great, Will. This has been a great conference. I've seen some talks this morning + +00:21.480 --> 00:27.100 +that are going to change my life. I just can't wait to start applying some of the packages + +00:27.100 --> 00:28.100 +I've learned about. + +00:28.100 --> 00:33.240 +That's amazing. And it's only day one. We've got more of this coming today, too. + +00:33.240 --> 00:34.240 +Exactly. + +00:34.240 --> 00:38.000 +So, Blaine, we haven't had the chance to tell you, but do you have the pad open on + +00:38.000 --> 00:39.000 +your end? + +00:39.000 --> 00:40.000 +Let's see. + +00:40.000 --> 00:45.040 +Oh, yes, because I asked you to close Firefox, so you don't have it. Do you need the URL, + +00:45.040 --> 00:46.040 +maybe? + +00:46.040 --> 00:48.080 +Yeah, that would be great. + +00:48.080 --> 00:52.280 +I will put it into BBB, the chat right on your left. + +00:52.280 --> 00:58.200 +Okay. I see it. So if I click on this and open a new window? + +00:58.200 --> 01:00.520 +Yes, don't worry about it. + +01:00.520 --> 01:05.600 +Okay. So I have some questions. Oh, that's fantastic. This is kind of a silly question, + +01:05.600 --> 01:10.560 +but I'm curious. Do you have a favorite color theme? + +01:10.560 --> 01:21.120 +So I do. I've been using a color theme that is sort of light green. It's from a set of + +01:21.120 --> 01:29.760 +themes that Prot put together and made available this fall on Melpa, and in some of the slides + +01:29.760 --> 01:36.880 +you'll see that I have this, like, white background, but I'm currently using a sort of a mint green + +01:36.880 --> 01:45.240 +color, which I find actually has great contrast, and I had to install some fonts for the Mac + +01:45.240 --> 01:52.360 +to be able to use that theme, but Prot provides detailed instructions, and it was pretty easy + +01:52.360 --> 01:54.360 +to do. + +01:54.360 --> 02:03.960 +Okay. Let's see. To your knowledge, so the second question is, to your knowledge, are + +02:03.960 --> 02:09.000 +recent coming security changes in Chrome going to impact browser extension? + +02:09.000 --> 02:16.560 +Oh, that's a great question. I, to be honest, I don't know. I'm not aware of that issue + +02:16.560 --> 02:23.400 +because I ran and I installed some extension I probably shouldn't have installed in Chrome + +02:23.400 --> 02:30.120 +a couple weeks ago, and I've been getting pop-up ads, and so I switched to Firefox, + +02:30.120 --> 02:39.960 +but so far I have used GhostText in a number of browsers. I can vouch that it works in + +02:39.960 --> 02:50.120 +Safari, Chrome, obviously Firefox, Brave, and then amongst the Firefox family of browsers + +02:50.120 --> 02:56.240 +there's WaterFox and IceCat. It works in those two. + +02:56.240 --> 03:02.400 +So if Chrome's security issues become a problem, then there are other browsers for which maybe + +03:02.400 --> 03:07.960 +that problem won't be an issue. + +03:07.960 --> 03:14.580 +Is this, a third question is, is this browser, is this browser agnostic, or do you have to + +03:14.580 --> 03:17.760 +use Chrome? + +03:17.760 --> 03:25.460 +That's a good question. So obviously, as you've seen that, or just heard, it works in a number + +03:25.460 --> 03:30.480 +of other browsers. There's probably at least ten other browsers in which it will work. + +03:30.480 --> 03:35.840 +So there's sort of three families of extensions, one for Safari, one for Firefox, and one for + +03:35.840 --> 03:47.580 +Chrome, and often one of those extensions will work in a different browser. + +03:47.580 --> 03:53.060 +You mentioned, fourth question is, you mentioned a couple other solutions to allow Emacs editing + +03:53.060 --> 04:02.600 +of text areas, pointers. Well, unfortunately, I didn't do my due diligence in researching + +04:02.600 --> 04:07.000 +those other solutions. I'm aware that there's something called Emacs Everywhere that's supposed + +04:07.000 --> 04:13.840 +to have a similar capability, but I haven't dug into using it, so I can't say anything + +04:13.840 --> 04:14.840 +about it. + +04:14.840 --> 04:27.040 +I'll have to say that. So because you're setting up a server from an editor, and you have this + +04:27.040 --> 04:35.520 +extension in a browser, things don't always mesh. You may have port 4001 occupied by some + +04:35.520 --> 04:43.720 +other server from Emacs or another application, and so you have to sort that out. That can + +04:43.720 --> 04:49.360 +happen from time to time. I've had trouble with the Emacs server sometimes using that + +04:49.360 --> 04:57.800 +port, but I think you can redirect that Emacs server to another port to avoid that issue. + +04:57.800 --> 05:02.240 +That would be the greatest difficulty is just getting the two sides talking to each other + +05:02.240 --> 05:10.160 +through the web socket, but once that's going, I use it every day, and I'll go for weeks + +05:10.160 --> 05:16.560 +without any issue, and then, of course, I'll be changing something about Emacs configuration + +05:16.560 --> 05:22.520 +where I'm turning on some new server that fires up when I start Emacs, and then I break + +05:22.520 --> 05:28.760 +it there, or something along those lines, but the great hazard of fiddling with your + +05:28.760 --> 05:49.520 +Emacs configuration, just a hazard of being an Emacs user. Let's see. Why not save text? + +05:49.520 --> 05:56.120 +So I have a fifth question, which is why not save text from Emacs? I would like to hear + +05:56.120 --> 06:04.560 +some solution to the issue I ran into. So if I am editing a document in a web browser + +06:04.560 --> 06:13.200 +and then via Emacs, and I save that to a document on disk, then I, okay, that's great if I'm + +06:13.200 --> 06:19.020 +not going to make any more changes, everything's fine, that works great, but if I then decide + +06:19.020 --> 06:27.200 +to make more changes in the browser, and then I try to save those changes, the copy on disk + +06:27.200 --> 06:32.280 +is out of sync with the copy in the browser, and I've had the connection break when I do + +06:32.280 --> 06:42.080 +that. So I heard that there might be a way of solving that problem. I'm not, but I have + +06:42.080 --> 06:48.040 +not implemented the solution. I forget what the suggestion was. Maybe somebody in the + +06:48.040 --> 06:51.840 +audience has an idea. + +06:51.840 --> 06:56.760 +Speaking of the audience, we have opened up the chat now, so if you want to join the current + +06:56.760 --> 07:02.200 +BBB Discord room in which we are and ask questions directly to Blaine, feel free to do so, otherwise + +07:02.200 --> 07:05.840 +we're still taking questions on the pad as long as we have them, although right now I + +07:05.840 --> 07:10.120 +think we have answered all of them. Am I wrong, Blaine, or did we answer all of them already? + +07:10.120 --> 07:13.200 +You're correct, we've answered all of them. + +07:13.200 --> 07:18.120 +So we're going to still discuss for about 2-3 minutes. If people want to add last questions + +07:18.120 --> 07:23.360 +to the pad, feel free to do so. If you want to join us in BBB, the link is at the top + +07:23.360 --> 07:28.140 +of the talk of Blaine, Euclid Maxco 2022. You know everything now. We are at the end + +07:28.140 --> 07:33.640 +of the day, and you can tell it's the end of the day because my accent is getting significantly + +07:33.640 --> 07:40.840 +Frencher as a result. It's not getting any better since last year, I think. I wish I + +07:40.840 --> 07:44.760 +could contribute, Blaine, more to your talk, but I feel like I'm way out of my league. + +07:44.760 --> 07:50.280 +I'm the guy who plays with Org on the side, and I tune into your talks every year, and + +07:50.280 --> 07:54.840 +I see molecules, and I see stuff that I can barely comprehend, and I feel very humbled + +07:54.840 --> 07:56.840 +as a result. + +07:56.840 --> 08:03.320 +Well, I'm just trying to make my talks kind of unique. + +08:03.320 --> 08:07.960 +You are succeeding amazingly well. It reminds me, have you been talking with John Kinchin + +08:07.960 --> 08:15.680 +or something? Because you seem to be evolving in seminal fields, in a way, with Emacs. + +08:15.680 --> 08:26.160 +I have been. I'm a fan of his. I have installed CyMax and his configuration for Emacs, but + +08:26.160 --> 08:33.960 +I haven't. I've just started poking around with it, and I've used his configuration. + +08:33.960 --> 08:43.280 +I've got it up and running, and I've used GhostText with it, and I was trying to tap + +08:43.280 --> 08:49.880 +into his OrgRef package, which is super powerful for managing bibliographies. + +08:49.880 --> 08:50.880 +Yeah. + +08:50.880 --> 08:53.880 +Yeah, he's very inspiring. + +08:53.880 --> 08:59.880 +I'm glad to hear you're very much inspired. Go on, please. + +08:59.880 --> 09:05.280 +He's very amazing. He's very accomplished in Emacs and a very accomplished teacher, + +09:05.280 --> 09:11.160 +and he has now, as you probably know, a series of videos on YouTube that he's been putting + +09:11.160 --> 09:18.920 +together about programming. So he's teaching students at Carnegie Mellon University how + +09:18.920 --> 09:26.200 +to program in Python via Emacs, and he has been sharing these videos on YouTube, and + +09:26.200 --> 09:30.720 +they're like just 20-minute videos, kind of short snippets, but you can learn a lot from + +09:30.720 --> 09:33.480 +them. It's really fantastic. + +09:33.480 --> 09:39.240 +It's an amazing journey, isn't it? You start from a field that has nothing to do whatsoever + +09:39.240 --> 09:43.800 +with Emacs, and yet you find yourself so attracted to the idea of programming and making your + +09:43.800 --> 09:49.620 +workflow easier that you end up actually transitioning into a little bit of a programming role or + +09:49.620 --> 09:54.900 +teaching programming role. I mean, I was studying literature. I was all well and good in my + +09:54.900 --> 10:00.040 +English faculty, and then I decided to say, oh yeah, let's try Emacs, and 10 years later + +10:00.040 --> 10:06.160 +I find myself spending more time working on Emacs than working on my literature papers. + +10:06.160 --> 10:12.920 +My history is that I developed a dozen years ago, started teaching students how to do molecular + +10:12.920 --> 10:17.960 +graphics, and then I got into Python programming to develop tools to make it easier for them + +10:17.960 --> 10:22.680 +to use molecular graphics, and then evolved into making these snippets available for a + +10:22.680 --> 10:29.680 +wide range of text editors that meant learning about – so I prepared these snippets for + +10:29.680 --> 10:35.440 +about 20 different text editors, leading ones, and of course I saved for the end Emacs. First + +10:35.440 --> 10:42.800 +I went through Vim and the month of hell of rewiring your brain to do the Vim key bindings + +10:42.800 --> 10:51.920 +and then on to Emacs, which I call the ultimate text editor, because there is no other text + +10:51.920 --> 10:56.040 +editor beyond Emacs. It's the end of the line. + +10:56.040 --> 11:01.360 +I absolve you for your herrings with Vim as a result of the last comment you just made. + +11:01.360 --> 11:05.680 +Actually, no, I have new write of that solution. I can agree to your solution. You'll have + +11:05.680 --> 11:09.200 +to ask RMS tomorrow. + +11:09.200 --> 11:16.800 +Well, I spent a year in evil mode, but I switched about half a year ago to just Emacs key bindings + +11:16.800 --> 11:24.840 +and bye-bye Vim. I use Vim when I log into remote servers and have to edit something + +11:24.840 --> 11:30.720 +really quick, but I've probably forgotten most of the key bindings. There's only about + +11:30.720 --> 11:36.560 +a dozen you really need to know to get the essential work done. But yeah, it's been + +11:36.560 --> 11:37.560 +quite a journey. + +11:37.560 --> 11:45.160 +Sorry for the interruption. We do have one question, a very simple question about what + +11:45.160 --> 11:51.200 +was the key binding for Linux Firefox. Do you have it on top of your mind? + +11:51.200 --> 11:52.200 +So Linux Firefox. + +11:52.200 --> 11:57.240 +I'm not sure what they're referring to as well, which is why I threw you this purple, + +11:57.240 --> 11:59.240 +hoping that it would make sense for you. + +11:59.240 --> 12:00.240 +It's Control-Shift-H. + +12:00.240 --> 12:14.120 +I hope this answers your questions. So I think Control-Shift-H, yes. Well Blaine, I see some + +12:14.120 --> 12:18.120 +people have joined on BBB, but no one with a microphone still. I will tide you at the + +12:18.120 --> 12:21.560 +end. We are reaching the end of the day. We are reaching closing remarks and I will be + +12:21.560 --> 12:26.720 +making a plea for more people to join with a microphone. Last year we had pretty much + +12:26.720 --> 12:30.440 +the same setting. We were opening the room afterwards and people were showing up with + +12:30.440 --> 12:33.760 +the microphones and we had lovely discussions. So in this year, it feels like everyone's + +12:33.760 --> 12:38.940 +a little shy, shouldn't you know? That's the whole point is for you to talk and for + +12:38.940 --> 12:43.160 +us all to listen. Well Blaine, that was very insightful. Thank you so much for both the + +12:43.160 --> 12:44.960 +presentation and the questions. Go on. + +12:44.960 --> 12:51.200 +We have a question in the panel on the left and blue button. So how long have I been using + +12:51.200 --> 13:03.520 +Emacs? I made a commitment to use it full-time about 18 months ago, maybe 20 months ago. + +13:03.520 --> 13:09.240 +So I'm a newbie. I'm still in the steep part of the learning curve. + +13:09.240 --> 13:13.640 +You just have to provide context for the people. Blaine presented something at the last year's + +13:13.640 --> 13:19.440 +EmacsConf and it was as impressive as this year's presentation. And afterwards he told + +13:19.440 --> 13:23.760 +us, oh yeah, I've been using Emacs for six months or so. And that's where everyone's + +13:23.760 --> 13:28.920 +jewels dropped to the floor because some people have been using Emacs for 10 years and we + +13:28.920 --> 13:31.960 +couldn't even imagine doing some of the stuff you're doing with it. + +13:31.960 --> 13:33.960 +Thank you. + +13:33.960 --> 13:40.880 +Do we have any other questions? I think that's pretty much it. I'm not seeing anything appear + +13:40.880 --> 13:48.520 +on the other screen. I think we're pretty much good. So Blaine, I'm not going to keep + +13:48.520 --> 13:52.880 +you any longer. We are probably going to bring this Q&A to a close. Thank you so much for + +13:52.880 --> 13:59.880 +all the answers. What are we going to do for the stream? We still have a talk going on + +13:59.880 --> 14:05.960 +on the dev channel currently. And then we'll be going to the closing remarks for the day + +14:05.960 --> 14:10.680 +at about 55 of the current hour. So we are going on a break for 20 to 25 minutes. So + +14:10.680 --> 14:14.040 +Blaine, sorry for keeping you off stage as I'm making the announcement, but it's the + +14:14.040 --> 14:16.520 +best way for people to see my face as I do it. + +14:16.520 --> 14:20.800 +Thank you very much, Leo. I appreciate it. + +14:20.800 --> 14:26.720 +And thank you so much for all your time and all your answers. I will be closing BBB now + +14:26.720 --> 14:31.600 +and we will put some music on and some announcements and see you at the top of the hour for the + +14:31.600 --> 14:57.720 +others or 55 rather than top of the hour. All right. Bye bye everyone. Bye bye Blaine. + |
