+WEBVTT captioned by bhavin192
+
+00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
+Hello. Welcome to my first ever EmacsConf talk.
+
+00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:06.360
+This is really exciting for me.
+
+00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.600
+I've done lots of conferences,
+
+00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:12.800
+but rarely ones this technical and this nerdy.
+
+00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:13.508
+I also feel like
+
+00:00:13.508 --> 00:00:15.040
+I have something interesting to share.
+
+00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.680
+I come to Emacs relatively late in my career,
+
+00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:20.920
+only about six years ago,
+
+00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.880
+but I've been absolutely amazed
+
+00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:25.800
+at the innovation and commitment of the community
+
+00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.200
+to do things their own way.
+
+00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.120
+Oftentimes, these become things
+
+00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.880
+that are not readily available anywhere else.
+
+00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:35.307
+So, as I've been using Emacs
+
+00:00:35.307 --> 00:00:37.160
+(and Org mode specifically)
+
+00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:39.600
+a great deal in my day-to-day workflows,
+
+00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.520
+I've been leaning more and more into
+
+00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.607
+some of these tips and tricks.
+
+00:00:43.607 --> 00:00:46.680
+I find that there is almost every day
+
+00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.120
+that I discover some useful tweak
+
+00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:50.760
+that can make my development better.
+
+00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:53.960
+I want to share them with you now.
+
+00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:54.874
+[Future George]: Hey, hold on!
+
+00:00:54.874 --> 00:00:56.200
+Who are you?
+
+00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.400
+[Future George]: I'm you from the future!
+
+00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:02.480
+Oh, nice. How good.
+
+00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:05.240
+No, I'm you from, like, a month from now.
+
+00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:08.440
+Look, you know how these talks are pre-recorded,
+
+00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:10.760
+and you know how you've spent the last two years
+
+00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.400
+criticizing conference speakers
+
+00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.000
+for trying to do the same old thing
+
+00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.120
+and not creatively adapting
+
+00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.440
+to the online conference medium?
+
+00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:20.520
+Well, you are recording this back in November.
+
+00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:23.160
+I'm in December when everyone is watching this
+
+00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.720
+for the first time.
+
+00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.120
+That is something we can do now.
+
+00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.640
+[George]: Okay, so this is a gimmick.
+
+00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.880
+Cool! And I see you still haven't figured out
+
+00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.440
+how to remove backgrounds with OBS.
+
+00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:37.240
+[Future George]: Oh my god! It's such a pain,
+
+00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:40.360
+I have to get a plugin or something.
+
+00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:42.760
+So, yes, it's kind of a gimmick,
+
+00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.920
+but I also have a cool point.
+
+00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.200
+You know, how you just said
+
+00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.840
+that you discover something new every day?
+
+00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:49.920
+Well, your talk isn't that long,
+
+00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.720
+and I found a bunch of cool new workflow synths.
+
+00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.920
+[George]: Oh, okay, that makes sense.
+
+00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.360
+I'm starting a new job in the intervening time.
+
+00:01:58.360 --> 00:01:59.720
+[Future George]: Exactly!
+
+00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:02.440
+So, I have more stuff I want to add.
+
+00:02:02.440 --> 00:02:03.740
+[George]: Oh, and I bet that
+
+00:02:03.740 --> 00:02:05.960
+once we set the ground rules,
+
+00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:07.136
+the audience might have
+
+00:02:07.136 --> 00:02:08.960
+some of their own suggestions.
+
+00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.160
+That is a good idea.
+
+00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:11.960
+Okay, go away now.
+
+00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.574
+[Future George]: Fine, but
+
+00:02:13.574 --> 00:02:15.240
+aren't you gonna explain the dino?
+
+00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.800
+[George]: This is EmacsConf, dude.
+
+00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.320
+You think a dinosaur built out of
+
+00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:22.160
+boxes and old dishwasher parts
+
+00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:24.207
+is the weirdest background thing we'll see?
+
+00:02:24.207 --> 00:02:27.880
+[Both making dinosaur roaring sound: ROAAAAR!]
+
+00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:30.200
+Okay, bye now.
+
+00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.160
+Hey everyone, you heard the idea.
+
+00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:35.000
+This is going to be a thinly-veiled attempt
+
+00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.940
+to show you stuff about
+
+00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:38.760
+Emacs and Org mode, specifically,
+
+00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:41.560
+that I think is super cool and immediately useful
+
+00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.600
+while you're doing development.
+
+00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:46.720
+Let's define the scope of Org development workflow
+
+00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:49.000
+as something specific you do with Org mode
+
+00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.800
+that helps in certain common
+
+00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.880
+development related activities.
+
+00:02:52.880 --> 00:02:54.560
+Now, tie-dye me from the future said
+
+00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.960
+he's got some more ideas
+
+00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.840
+beyond what I'm presenting here.
+
+00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.960
+I'm sure many of you have ideas as well.
+
+00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:07.960
+So, we're going to share a collaborative document,
+
+00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.120
+and let's all as we're listening to this
+
+00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.440
+be talking, and chatting, and entering
+
+00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:13.240
+our own ideas and workflows,
+
+00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.680
+so that we can learn and improve together.
+
+00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.960
+And now with that, let's begin.
+
+00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.280
+I've got a ton of ground to cover,
+
+00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.480
+and I want to start by talking about note-taking.
+
+00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:25.720
+Shrink down! [transition]
+
+00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:30.074
+Note-taking is incredibly important.
+
+00:03:30.074 --> 00:03:33.600
+We can't keep all this stuff in our heads.
+
+00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:36.640
+So, for example, I find myself with
+
+00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:41.760
+the need to learn about the solid project.
+
+00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.520
+This right here is the solid project,
+
+00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.320
+and I want to play around with it.
+
+00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:50.920
+I am going to start by creating a note for it.
+
+00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:53.360
+Now, one of the things that I want to do
+
+00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.240
+is explore one of their tutorials.
+
+00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:58.960
+That's the site I just saw.
+
+00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.720
+I can go ahead and create a note for myself.
+
+00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:10.280
+Right, "Solid React Example",
+
+00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.120
+and maybe a set of stuff ending on there.
+
+00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.240
+I'm going to clone this project,
+
+00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.720
+which I've already done,
+
+00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.360
+and I can pull it up right here.
+
+00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.280
+So, I can pull it up right here,
+
+00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:24.440
+and I can now start to explore it.
+
+00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:26.440
+So, for example, this code base sounds…,
+
+00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:27.080
+it seems interesting.
+
+00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:28.996
+I'm going to want to
+
+00:04:28.996 --> 00:04:31.520
+store a link to this in my code.
+
+00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:34.840
+I'm going to run `org-store-link`,
+
+00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:37.960
+and I can come in here and say,
+
+00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:48.280
+let's explore structure. Local link,
+
+00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:50.640
+and here I'm going to put that right there.
+
+00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:52.960
+Now, at any given time I can come into this note
+
+00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:54.600
+and be thrown right into the structure.
+
+00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.880
+I want to go and now start investigating the code,
+
+00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:02.474
+but before doing that
+
+00:05:02.474 --> 00:05:08.280
+I'm going to take an extra step
+
+00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:13.560
+and customize the Org capture system.
+
+00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.297
+I'm going to create a playground node here,
+
+00:05:16.297 --> 00:05:17.320
+where I can do whatever.
+
+00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:20.680
+Now, what does this template do?
+
+00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.960
+Well, it's just going to create a new template.
+
+00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:24.640
+And whenever I hit the s key,
+
+00:05:24.640 --> 00:05:31.680
+it is going to go ahead and add a new heading
+
+00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.280
+to which I will enter,
+
+00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:38.326
+and it's going to grab a link
+
+00:05:38.326 --> 00:05:39.720
+to wherever I'm pointing at,
+
+00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.760
+and any highlighted code
+
+00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:44.560
+will also be inserted into a source block,
+
+00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.407
+and eventually, drop my cursor
+
+00:05:49.407 --> 00:05:52.107
+where I can work on it.
+
+00:05:52.107 --> 00:05:55.000
+So, we can grab our template,
+
+00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.400
+and the one thing I'm going to need to add it here
+
+00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.360
+is to say what file this goes to.
+
+00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.760
+I'm going to copy the name of this file,
+
+00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:08.040
+and put it right in there.
+
+00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.680
+I'm going to go ahead now run this template.
+
+00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.400
+Now, we can explore our code.
+
+00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:16.440
+For example, I can look in the server,
+
+00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:18.400
+and say, "Oh yeah, this slide looks interesting.
+
+00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:21.040
+Go ahead and capture that."
+
+00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.800
+There you see our template.
+
+00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.000
+You see, yeah, this is Next.js app,
+
+00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.320
+and you can see it got added right in here
+
+00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:33.080
+right next to my other code.
+
+00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:34.640
+So, that's interesting.
+
+00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:36.920
+I can always go ahead and click that link,
+
+00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.560
+and get thrown directly to where in the code I was.
+
+00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.240
+I'm kind of building up my own dashboard
+
+00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.040
+as I explore this project
+
+00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:49.160
+of interesting points within the project.
+
+00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.440
+One of the things I noticed here
+
+00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:57.440
+by looking at the file structure is that
+
+00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:02.040
+there is an area for certificates.
+
+00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.625
+That's a little unusual, so we'll make a note
+
+00:07:05.625 --> 00:07:08.007
+of that by again running `org-store-link`.
+
+00:07:08.007 --> 00:07:12.707
+This comes with certificates,
+
+00:07:12.707 --> 00:07:18.007
+so we'll put that there.
+
+00:07:18.007 --> 00:07:21.607
+One of the good standbys is,
+
+00:07:21.607 --> 00:07:23.540
+just to use our regular shell commands.
+
+00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:26.774
+So, we will go ahead and say,
+
+00:07:26.774 --> 00:07:29.807
+the default directory for this is our project.
+
+00:07:29.807 --> 00:07:31.640
+And we can go ahead and say,
+
+00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:38.520
+`cat certificates/localhost.key`,
+
+00:07:38.520 --> 00:07:43.760
+and then we'll output the first five lines of it,
+
+00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:45.848
+just to make sure it's a regular certificate.
+
+00:07:45.848 --> 00:07:49.360
+Now, notice this got broken up a little bit.
+
+00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.720
+This is due to Emacs auto formatting.
+
+00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.866
+We can come in here, and tell it to
+
+00:07:55.866 --> 00:07:57.400
+format it as code,
+
+00:07:57.400 --> 00:07:59.880
+which will be the same as this block right here.
+
+00:07:59.880 --> 00:08:02.320
+Now, there are other options available.
+
+00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:05.453
+If, for example, we don't want [it]
+
+00:08:05.453 --> 00:08:06.480
+to be a shell block,
+
+00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.560
+we wanted a Python block for some reason,
+
+00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.320
+we do `:wrap src python`, and execute that,
+
+00:08:15.320 --> 00:08:18.440
+and it's now wrapped as a Python block,
+
+00:08:18.440 --> 00:08:21.480
+but I like it as a shell.
+
+00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.240
+Let's, for example, go down into pages here
+
+00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.800
+and look at this document file.
+
+00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.160
+We're saying, "Okay. Well, this looks interesting
+
+00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.474
+maybe highlight that," and we'll go ahead
+
+00:08:32.474 --> 00:08:36.240
+and capture that template
+
+00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.400
+and say, grab all this code and paste it in here.
+
+00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:42.440
+Now, there is a bug at the moment,
+
+00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:46.280
+where if you highlight more than one lines of code,
+
+00:08:46.280 --> 00:08:50.760
+the link will not work, and that honestly
+
+00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:54.540
+might be something I look into fixing.
+
+00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:57.507
+One of the things that might be useful here
+
+00:08:57.507 --> 00:08:59.274
+would be to check out
+
+00:08:59.274 --> 00:09:02.107
+how this file has evolved over time.
+
+00:09:02.107 --> 00:09:05.340
+To do that, I'm going to use Magit.
+
+00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:09.640
+I'll pull up a log.
+
+00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:11.400
+Look, there's only a single change.
+
+00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:13.040
+I'm going to run a command
+
+00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:16.840
+called `orgit-store-link`,
+
+00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.174
+and now I can come in here and say,
+
+00:09:22.174 --> 00:09:26.207
+"It's only changed once."
+
+00:09:26.207 --> 00:09:30.274
+Go ahead and insert that link.
+
+00:09:30.507 --> 00:09:33.340
+Now, this file…
+
+00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:32.960
+the arguments here are kind of weird,
+
+00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:38.520
+and in fact, if I click this,
+
+00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:42.040
+it will actually go to the full log of that branch.
+
+00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:45.760
+However, we can fix that pretty easily.
+
+00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:49.120
+Grab the path of our file,
+
+00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:53.874
+and this right here is really just the arguments
+
+00:09:53.874 --> 00:09:56.280
+that are passed into the log command.
+
+00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:58.880
+So, here we go, we put that in there,
+
+00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:04.960
+and there we go. We get the full file history.
+
+00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.280
+Now, I want to actually build the program.
+
+00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:16.520
+So, "Build the app."
+
+00:10:16.520 --> 00:10:18.800
+Now, I could of course run it as a shell, right.
+
+00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:22.560
+`npm ci`. The problem with that is that
+
+00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:26.400
+Emacs is single-threaded. So, if I were to do that,
+
+00:10:26.400 --> 00:10:30.400
+the entire time while it was running,
+
+00:10:30.400 --> 00:10:33.120
+it would be locking out my Emacs.
+
+00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.740
+Additionally, I might not actually want
+
+00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:38.707
+all that scroll--`npm ci` produces a lot of it--
+
+00:10:38.707 --> 00:10:40.080
+actually in my document.
+
+00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.840
+So instead, what we could do is
+
+00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.800
+use an Emacs Lisp function,
+
+00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:49.640
+and it's called `async-shell-command`.
+
+00:10:49.640 --> 00:10:52.880
+And when you run something in async-shell-command,
+
+00:10:52.880 --> 00:10:58.007
+it's going to a comint buffer with a process
+
+00:10:58.007 --> 00:11:00.107
+attached to it, and run it in there.
+
+00:11:00.107 --> 00:11:04.907
+I will need to set the directory here first,
+
+00:11:04.907 --> 00:11:07.560
+and since, again, this is going to be
+
+00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:08.960
+opening up in a new buffer.
+
+00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:09.960
+I don't need to see that.
+
+00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.407
+I'm going to run it.
+
+00:11:11.407 --> 00:11:13.680
+And what's going to happen is
+
+00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:17.120
+this is actually not going to work.
+
+00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:18.160
+And it doesn't work,
+
+00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:20.320
+Not for any particular reason I can control.
+
+00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.880
+It's unfortunately that the repo is broken,
+
+00:11:24.880 --> 00:11:26.307
+but that is a totally valid
+
+00:11:26.307 --> 00:11:29.040
+result of our investigation.
+
+00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:33.107
+One of the things that I really love
+
+00:11:33.107 --> 00:11:37.640
+to do with Org mode is to actually use it for
+
+00:11:37.640 --> 00:11:38.240
+literate programming,
+
+00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:43.080
+because Org mode has a pretty capable
+
+00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.000
+code generation facility built into it.
+
+00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.440
+It's called tangling.
+
+00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:51.720
+So, if I go ahead and take my document...
+
+00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.107
+This is for a little Arduino project,
+
+00:11:54.107 --> 00:11:56.907
+where I was figuring out to spin things around
+
+00:11:56.907 --> 00:12:00.074
+using an old Roomba motor.
+
+00:12:00.074 --> 00:12:05.280
+I can go ahead and write a script like this,
+
+00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:09.400
+and then notice, I use the tangle variable
+
+00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:11.520
+that is just going to determine
+
+00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:13.560
+where that file gets written
+
+00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:17.680
+when we call the command `org-babel-tangle`.
+
+00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:20.080
+So, if I go ahead and run this,
+
+00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.800
+you can see down in the minibuffer,
+
+00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:23.040
+it's going to write to
+
+00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:26.707
+`/tmp/go-batsy-playground/go-batsy-playground.ino`.
+
+00:12:26.707 --> 00:12:27.840
+That's where this right here would write,
+
+00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.480
+and then I could run commands on it.
+
+00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.574
+Then I want to start being able to use this
+
+00:12:36.574 --> 00:12:38.600
+to build out a program.
+
+00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.000
+I'm going ahead and writing in prose
+
+00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.440
+and interspersing it with code.
+
+00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.160
+So, it's the inverse of code,
+
+00:12:47.160 --> 00:12:49.374
+in which you intersperse comments, [here]
+
+00:12:49.374 --> 00:12:51.640
+you write prose, and then you intersperse code
+
+00:12:51.640 --> 00:12:54.920
+where as needed.
+
+00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:58.120
+Tangle is implicitly defined up at the higher level
+
+00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.640
+in this property block right here,
+
+00:12:59.640 --> 00:13:02.600
+which I will talk about in a little bit.
+
+00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.720
+But if you want to see what properties
+
+00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.400
+are available at any given time,
+
+00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:10.140
+you can hit `org-babel-view-src-block-info`
+
+00:13:10.140 --> 00:13:14.274
+right there, and you can see that tangle is enabled.
+
+00:13:14.274 --> 00:13:16.440
+All of these blocks have the exact same tangle.
+
+00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.800
+If I run and see what it is, it's just going to
+
+00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:23.680
+write to this directory to `go-batsy.ino`.
+
+00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:28.920
+`org-babel-tangle` is going to go ahead
+
+00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:30.640
+and tangle all these source code blocks,
+
+00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:33.174
+and I can go ahead and look at my file
+
+00:13:33.174 --> 00:13:34.440
+and here it is.
+
+00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.240
+This is the full Arduino file
+
+00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:37.360
+that was generated from there.
+
+00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.807
+I start writing code here,
+
+00:13:40.807 --> 00:13:43.320
+and I'm basically doing it in a prose way.
+
+00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:44.640
+As I'm thinking about it,
+
+00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:46.080
+I write down what I'm going to do.
+
+00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.240
+Now these braces, we haven't seen these before.
+
+00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.440
+This is an aspect of Org called `noweb`,
+
+00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:55.374
+which again is not too much of a
+
+00:13:55.374 --> 00:13:56.400
+templating system too.
+
+00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:58.960
+But it does one thing, which is insert code,
+
+00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.200
+which turns out to be enough.
+
+00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.640
+So, this right here basically says,
+
+00:14:03.640 --> 00:14:08.507
+take that block with that exact name
+
+00:14:08.507 --> 00:14:09.960
+and just insert here.
+
+00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.760
+If you want to see exactly what a block expands to,
+
+00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:15.160
+you're going to come in here.
+
+00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:18.320
+You're going to run `org-babel-expand-src-block`,
+
+00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.000
+and there we go. That's what this block expands to.
+
+00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.080
+That's what all those places
+
+00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.807
+of this little bits and pieces expand to.
+
+00:14:24.807 --> 00:14:26.120
+So, that becomes really useful, and notice
+
+00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.960
+basically we just take these little blocks
+
+00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.520
+that are not going to be tangled directly
+
+00:14:32.520 --> 00:14:33.920
+but it will be in this other block.
+
+00:14:33.920 --> 00:14:38.074
+And we turn off their tangling.
+
+00:14:38.074 --> 00:14:40.680
+Now that you have some sort of tangling,
+
+00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:42.880
+you want to be able to interact with those files
+
+00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:46.707
+that are written to that directory.
+
+00:14:46.707 --> 00:14:48.960
+So, right here I have an area
+
+00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.760
+where I can do things like run a compiler.
+
+00:14:52.760 --> 00:14:55.160
+Now what does that compiler do?
+
+00:14:55.160 --> 00:14:57.840
+Well, this right here references
+
+00:14:57.841 --> 00:15:01.874
+a source code block that appears in another Org file.
+
+00:15:01.874 --> 00:15:04.520
+And I find that when doing these sort of things
+
+00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:06.007
+it can be useful to have a little
+
+00:15:06.007 --> 00:15:08.000
+utility Org directory.
+
+00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.374
+So, here it is, `org/ci.org`.
+
+00:15:10.374 --> 00:15:11.640
+This is just part of my repo.
+
+00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:14.140
+We open up, and here we go.
+
+00:15:14.140 --> 00:15:15.200
+I have a compile function.
+
+00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.360
+Basically, it's doing some stuff
+
+00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.480
+to clean up things correctly.
+
+00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.520
+But then using that same `async-shell-command`
+
+00:15:23.520 --> 00:15:26.280
+to open things up and a new buffer.
+
+00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:28.674
+In this case, named after
+
+00:15:28.674 --> 00:15:31.200
+whatever heading it was under.
+
+00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.160
+And then we're going to go ahead and inside of it
+
+00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:39.874
+run Arduino CLI command to compile,
+
+00:15:39.874 --> 00:15:43.560
+and pass that into `watchexec`.
+
+00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:46.120
+which is a little Rust program
+
+00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.520
+that watches inode[??] files for any changes,
+
+00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:51.240
+and when they detect them, we will run this.
+
+00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:56.160
+If I were to, for example, add a line here,
+
+00:15:56.160 --> 00:15:59.360
+and now run `org-babel-tangle`,
+
+00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.400
+you can see watchexec immediately
+
+00:16:02.400 --> 00:16:04.480
+picks it up and restarts it.
+
+00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.474
+Now it's kind of a pain to remember
+
+00:16:07.475 --> 00:16:09.680
+to run `org-babel-tangle` all the time.
+
+00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:13.807
+So, I can come here and click this button.
+
+00:16:13.807 --> 00:16:17.040
+It asks me to execute it there.
+
+00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:18.280
+And what does that do?
+
+00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:23.280
+Here you go. It's just a very simple hyperlink,
+
+00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:25.600
+but to the Elisp protocol.
+
+00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.600
+The Elisp protocol just adds a hook that says,
+
+00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.107
+whenever a document is saved, run `org-babel-tangle`.
+
+00:16:35.107 --> 00:16:37.600
+And now that I've run that, I can go ahead,
+
+00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.307
+come in here, and delete that.
+
+00:16:39.307 --> 00:16:42.340
+And look at that. It tangles automatically for me.
+
+00:16:42.340 --> 00:16:45.040
+Because I don't want to actually have this
+
+00:16:45.040 --> 00:16:49.480
+playground script tangle to my real file,
+
+00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.440
+I need this concept of
+
+00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.760
+some sort of workspace directory.
+
+00:16:52.760 --> 00:16:54.880
+And a workspace directory
+
+00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:58.280
+what I really want is a variable that is tied to
+
+00:16:58.280 --> 00:17:02.674
+where in my document hierarchy this appears.
+
+00:17:02.674 --> 00:17:06.680
+I want a dynamically scoped variable
+
+00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.240
+that's scoped to my document.
+
+00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:12.560
+And you can do that. For example, in this case,
+
+00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:15.280
+I have in my properties
+
+00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:20.080
+a key value declared `workspace-directory`,
+
+00:17:20.080 --> 00:17:22.080
+[it] goes into a temp directory.
+
+00:17:22.080 --> 00:17:24.480
+And here, by running `org-get-entry`
+
+00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.800
+starting at the current point,
+
+00:17:25.800 --> 00:17:27.507
+find `workspace-directory`
+
+00:17:27.507 --> 00:17:28.760
+with a second parameter 1.
+
+00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:31.520
+You can see down in the minibuffer,
+
+00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:37.174
+goes to `/tmp/go-batsy-playground/`.
+
+00:17:37.174 --> 00:17:39.720
+This right here is going to override
+
+00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:44.307
+the `workspace-directory` at the top level,
+
+00:17:44.307 --> 00:17:47.607
+which is dot. Dot means here.
+
+00:17:47.607 --> 00:17:48.880
+That's what makes sure
+
+00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:50.680
+that the rest of these tangle to
+
+00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.560
+that go-batsy file right relevant to here.
+
+00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:55.740
+And that does mean that we need
+
+00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:58.207
+a little bit more complex thing here.
+
+00:17:58.207 --> 00:18:01.760
+So, we're saying go ahead and `org-entry-get`
+
+00:18:01.760 --> 00:18:04.800
+the `workspace-directory`.
+
+00:18:04.800 --> 00:18:06.807
+If anyone hasn't seen this syntax,
+
+00:18:06.807 --> 00:18:16.040
+this dash arrow is from the dash.el library,
+
+00:18:16.040 --> 00:18:19.240
+which is basically a big library of all
+
+00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:20.940
+the utility functions that you wish
+
+00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:22.880
+Emacs Lisp had. They're well-named.
+
+00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.480
+I highly, highly recommend it.
+
+00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.080
+This is the threading operator.
+
+00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:28.200
+So, we're just basically taking it,
+
+00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.760
+getting the `workspace-directory`,
+
+00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:32.307
+if it happens to be dot, then we're just going to
+
+00:18:32.307 --> 00:18:33.320
+return the current directory,
+
+00:18:33.320 --> 00:18:36.000
+otherwise whatever directory said.
+
+00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.240
+And then I want to just take a moment
+
+00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.280
+and look at the rest of this structure.
+
+00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:43.080
+So, `workspace-directory` we talked about.
+
+00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:46.774
+`header-args` if you noticed, none of my
+
+00:18:46.774 --> 00:18:48.707
+code blocks for the most part
+
+00:18:48.707 --> 00:18:50.840
+have any header arguments.
+
+00:18:50.840 --> 00:18:53.174
+You can drop the `header-args` property,
+
+00:18:53.174 --> 00:18:55.607
+which is going to be header arguments
+
+00:18:55.607 --> 00:18:57.840
+that are added automatically
+
+00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:03.407
+to all source code blocks under this heading.
+
+00:19:03.407 --> 00:19:05.407
+`header-args+`. Well,
+
+00:19:05.407 --> 00:19:06.540
+sometimes you don't want to type…
+
+00:19:06.540 --> 00:19:07.507
+you have a bunch of args,
+
+00:19:07.507 --> 00:19:08.240
+you don't want to type them out
+
+00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.440
+in this one big line.
+
+00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.040
+So, you basically are adding a new header-arg
+
+00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:15.407
+to the existing list of header.
+
+00:19:15.407 --> 00:19:18.160
+And then you can have header-args that are specific
+
+00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.440
+to certain languages, like, for example,
+
+00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:21.560
+this `default-directory` var is going to be set
+
+00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.200
+for all Emacs Lisps.
+
+00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:29.574
+And for all Arduinos, evaluation will be disabled,
+
+00:19:29.574 --> 00:19:32.440
+and tangling will be automatically enabled.
+
+00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.307
+These are just some of the workflows that become
+
+00:19:35.307 --> 00:19:38.320
+useful when you're actually doing the coding.
+
+00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:41.374
+[Future George]: Oh, hello again!
+
+00:19:41.374 --> 00:19:45.307
+Me from the six months from now.
+
+00:19:45.307 --> 00:19:49.107
+[George]: Cool.
+
+00:19:49.107 --> 00:19:51.000
+[Future George]: The talk got over, people liked it,
+
+00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.040
+thought the pacing was all over the place.
+
+00:19:53.040 --> 00:19:56.360
+[George]: Yeah, I had to cut two thirds of it,
+
+00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:59.800
+going to be filling in those gaps in the Etherpad.
+
+00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:03.520
+[Future George]: And the editing was uneven, at best.
+
+00:20:03.520 --> 00:20:05.507
+[George]: I got way better at it
+
+00:20:05.507 --> 00:20:06.680
+as I worked on it, didn't I?
+
+00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.960
+Kdenlive is pretty cool.
+
+00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.540
+But yeah, I wanted to take a shot at
+
+00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:16.040
+something different, and I figured if anyone can
+
+00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:17.760
+appreciate trying something different,
+
+00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:20.120
+it's EmacsConf, right?
+
+00:20:20.120 --> 00:20:21.520
+I hope people found it useful.
+
+00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:22.600
+[Future George]: Yeah, some did.
+
+00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:26.920
+Oh, I should tell you about the coming Orca war.
