+
+00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:01.880
+[Speaker 0]: And he can hear us. Can you perhaps do it for
+
+00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:03.760
+me? Great. The little angels in the
+
+00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:05.140
+background have done it for me.
+
+00:00:07.299 --> 00:00:07.759
+So now, finally, that everything is ready.
+
+00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:09.059
+Hi, James. How are you doing?
+
+00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:11.059
+[Speaker 1]: Good morning. Hello.
+
+00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:15.600
+[Speaker 0]: Well, thank you for your talk.
+
+00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:17.440
+And sorry for the little hiccup at the middle
+
+00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:20.380
+we had to put out a fire with the audio
+
+00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:22.560
+going out in the middle and sorry about this.
+
+00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:24.060
+[Speaker 1]: It's no trouble.
+
+00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:28.680
+[Speaker 0]: So James, you've obviously told us about your
+
+00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:30.220
+very fancy setup with the green screen and
+
+00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:32.800
+I'm sad to see that you haven't put out the
+
+00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:35.589
+green screen for your BBB session right now.
+
+00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:37.040
+Do you have it in the background just for
+
+00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:40.380
+you? Right, okay. It wasn't that far.
+
+00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:44.180
+Great. No. So, I'm just going to ask.
+
+00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:47.440
+So, this is the first live Q&A that we have
+
+00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:49.320
+for this session, so things might be coming
+
+00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:51.600
+into place, so pardon us if we take a little
+
+00:00:54.239 --> 00:00:54.340
+bit of time to put the questions on the
+
+00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:55.820
+screen and all of this.
+
+00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:58.260
+What I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna load up the
+
+00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:02.800
+pad. I would invite James to also open the
+
+00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:04.200
+pad on his hand. Sorry,
+
+00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:05.740
+I've got people talking in my ears and it's
+
+00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:07.740
+been a while since I've last had this.
+
+00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:11.869
+Okay, so opening the talks right now.
+
+00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:14.280
+Opening the pad, if I can find it.
+
+00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:20.740
+Open the pad. Okay. Have you got the pad open
+
+00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:22.860
+[Speaker 1]: So I can read the question.
+
+00:01:24.020 --> 00:01:24.280
+[Speaker 0]: on your end, James? Okay,
+
+00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:27.220
+great. Opening it on my end as well.
+
+00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:28.660
+What I'm going to do, folks,
+
+00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:30.800
+I see some of you have joined us on,
+
+00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:32.700
+if I show you, some of the people that have
+
+00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:34.340
+joined us in the BBB room.
+
+00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:35.540
+You can join us as well,
+
+00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:38.260
+all the links are on the talk page or on ISE,
+
+00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:39.520
+you can find it very easily.
+
+00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:42.240
+But what I'm going to start doing is first
+
+00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:43.860
+taking questions in the other pad because
+
+00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:45.700
+it's a little faster to ask questions like
+
+00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:48.080
+this, and then as soon as we've finished,
+
+00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:49.900
+feel free to unmute yourself and ask your
+
+00:01:54.020 --> 00:01:54.160
+questions. All right, so I've got some
+
+00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:57.140
+reactions about OBS being cool and yes,
+
+00:01:59.060 --> 00:01:59.180
+both James and I will be able to tell you
+
+00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:01.100
+that it's very cool. We do very fancy stuff
+
+00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:05.640
+like when I need to talk to production in the
+
+00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:07.540
+background and all the stuff obviously that
+
+00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:09.160
+James has been able to show you with a green
+
+00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:12.800
+screen. So I don't see a whole lot of
+
+00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:16.020
+questions so far. I see a lot of reactions on
+
+00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:17.780
+publishing lectures book and a classic
+
+00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.780
+example is John Kitchens obviously.
+
+00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:24.240
+Pedagogy first developments macros are a cool
+
+00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:28.820
+idea. Okay questions so how do you overlap
+
+00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:31.360
+yourself with a presentation it's so cool.
+
+00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:40.040
+[Speaker 1]: It's quite simple OBS provides filters for
+
+00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:42.480
+you can have a separate filter for each video
+
+00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:44.760
+feed. And 1 of the filters that's available
+
+00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:47.520
+is chroma key. You just choose a color to
+
+00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:52.040
+make transparent and just make sure that the
+
+00:02:55.640 --> 00:02:56.140
+webcam is at the top of the composition.
+
+00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:00.900
+And the thing that surprised me the most was
+
+00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:05.380
+how quickly my brain was able to mirror
+
+00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:07.360
+everything and control my body from a
+
+00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:10.740
+separate point of view like the way weather
+
+00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:15.360
+broadcasts are done. It took seconds to be
+
+00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:16.920
+able to do that. Well,
+
+00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:20.200
+and now I have years of practice because that
+
+00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:22.960
+setup that you saw that I used to record this
+
+00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:27.460
+video, I used for years during the pandemic
+
+00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:30.540
+for 4 or 5 semesters to,
+
+00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:33.820
+because my courses are all have 2,
+
+00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:36.900
+3, 400 students, except for the English class
+
+00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:40.460
+which has you know 30 students and so during
+
+00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:43.700
+the pandemic and even after lockdowns were no
+
+00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:46.020
+longer mandated I taught online just because
+
+00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:48.320
+I didn't want to have so many students in the
+
+00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:49.500
+room at the same time.
+
+00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:54.120
+So I've yeah I'm it I have a lot of practice
+
+00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:54.860
+doing that.
+
+00:03:57.780 --> 00:03:58.200
+[Speaker 0]: But it pays off because it looks so natural
+
+00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:00.140
+you know it feels like it's the same thing
+
+00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:02.660
+with weather casters you know it sounds very
+
+00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:04.700
+it looks very easy to do but it also takes
+
+00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:05.780
+quite a bit of practice.
+
+00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:08.400
+1 of the things that you also need to
+
+00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.160
+remember if you're using a chroma key that
+
+00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:11.880
+James has explained is that you need to have
+
+00:04:14.380 --> 00:04:14.680
+very good lighting basically for the color to
+
+00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:16.640
+pop out in the background and for your body
+
+00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:18.279
+to be easily highlightable.
+
+00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:21.260
+Okay, were you finished with this question?
+
+00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:24.940
+[Speaker 1]: Yeah, let's take another 1.
+
+00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:28.520
+[Speaker 0]: Sure. So how do you deal with video in Beam?
+
+00:04:30.060 --> 00:04:30.560
+I found it so hard to do that.
+
+00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.100
+PPT on the other end is easier to achieve.
+
+00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:41.520
+[Speaker 1]: Yeah, so remember that the slides get
+
+00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:46.920
+produced from Org Mode as PDFs.
+
+00:04:49.820 --> 00:04:50.040
+Well, and in fact, even before when I was
+
+00:04:52.580 --> 00:04:52.740
+using other software to produce slides I
+
+00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:55.760
+produced them as PDFs precisely because I
+
+00:04:58.440 --> 00:04:58.580
+wanted to be able to mark them up on on the
+
+00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:04.160
+screen with the stylus And so I don't do
+
+00:05:07.580 --> 00:05:07.840
+video in the slides. I use OBS to switch from
+
+00:05:09.900 --> 00:05:10.400
+static slides that I mark up with the stylus
+
+00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:14.800
+over to some kind of video viewer and then
+
+00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:17.820
+back. And again that's how I can use Firefox.
+
+00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:21.860
+I use OBS to switch between Firefox and video
+
+00:05:26.820 --> 00:05:27.040
+and the Shornal++ program where I can mark up
+
+00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:31.780
+slides. So those functionalities are...
+
+00:05:35.140 --> 00:05:35.320
+That's why I use different software and pull
+
+00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:37.980
+it all together with OBS so that I can have
+
+00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:41.740
+lots of functional flexibility.
+
+00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:47.660
+[Speaker 0]: Great. Do you ever use things like
+
+00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:50.820
+org-present and stay for the PowerPoint
+
+00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:53.200
+slides? I'm not sure exactly how to read this
+
+00:05:54.340 --> 00:05:54.520
+particular question, but at least we can
+
+00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:56.520
+focus on org-present. Are you familiar with
+
+00:05:56.820 --> 00:05:57.320
+what it is?
+
+00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:00.560
+[Speaker 1]: I've played around with org-present,
+
+00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:07.240
+And again, I guess you could use OrgPresent
+
+00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:11.680
+to show images and to show headings as
+
+00:06:16.820 --> 00:06:17.220
+slides. But again, Because it's such a
+
+00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:20.640
+crucial functionality to be able to mark them
+
+00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:25.360
+up with a stylus. I didn't really show this
+
+00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.180
+very much, but I also highlight things the
+
+00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:29.600
+way I would highlight using a laser pointer
+
+00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:32.460
+on the screen. And again,
+
+00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:37.380
+I don't see Emacs being able to do that for
+
+00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:39.060
+another couple of generations.
+
+00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:43.540
+So really the only thing I use Emacs for
+
+00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:49.400
+during presentations is to narrow headings
+
+00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:52.100
+that we can focus on particular text
+
+00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.100
+excerpts.
+
+00:06:59.020 --> 00:06:59.180
+[Speaker 0]: Right, yeah. A lot of our presentations at
+
+00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:00.380
+EmacsConf are usually,
+
+00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:01.720
+especially the Org Mode ones,
+
+00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:03.020
+are done with Org Present.
+
+00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:08.980
+Sorry, I had someone talk to me in the ear.
+
+00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:11.460
+You know the problem with EmacsConf is that
+
+00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:13.780
+every year, you have to relearn a lot of
+
+00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:16.340
+skills, and by the time we finish,
+
+00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:19.220
+by Sunday evening, we are masters of it.
+
+00:07:21.460 --> 00:07:21.600
+And then we forget everything by the time the
+
+00:07:22.260 --> 00:07:22.760
+next year comes around.
+
+00:07:24.440 --> 00:07:24.940
+What I was going to say is that org-present
+
+00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:29.160
+is often used by people inside Emacs,
+
+00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:30.940
+Conf, presenting about org-mode.
+
+00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:32.780
+But yeah, whenever you need to do something a
+
+00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:34.360
+little more visual, it gets a little more
+
+00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:36.500
+complicated. Some people have tried to do
+
+00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:39.160
+fancy stuff with SVG, which is probably the
+
+00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:41.140
+path forward for this type of stuff.
+
+00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:43.180
+But yeah, if you need to draw,
+
+00:07:43.940 --> 00:07:44.440
+if you need to highlight,
+
+00:07:45.820 --> 00:07:46.320
+it is pretty complicated.
+
+00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:48.340
+Perhaps something that you might want to be
+
+00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:50.980
+interested, James, in checking out is PDF
+
+00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:54.240
+Tools, which is a way to open up a PDF in
+
+00:07:59.100 --> 00:07:59.480
+Emacs. And this allows you to have basic PDF
+
+00:08:01.320 --> 00:08:01.560
+annotations, like putting a little bit of a
+
+00:08:03.960 --> 00:08:04.200
+Nikon on it. Perhaps you've already played
+
+00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:04.860
+with it.
+
+00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:09.940
+[Speaker 1]: I have used that. PDF Tools is an incredible
+
+00:08:14.260 --> 00:08:14.540
+package but until it allows me to make a mark
+
+00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:18.260
+on the screen that shows up in a video
+
+00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:21.040
+compositor. It's not going to replace
+
+00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:21.860
+Shornal.
+
+00:08:25.200 --> 00:08:25.440
+[Speaker 0]: Definitely. Alright, moving on to the next
+
+00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:31.592
+question. Is the triple-accolade syntax an
+
+00:08:31.682 --> 00:08:31.695
+[Speaker 2]: Org Mode core feature that I missed so
+
+00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:32.220
+[Speaker 0]: far, or did you program that?
+
+00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:33.580
+And thank you for the great talk.
+
+00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:38.360
+[Speaker 1]: Thank you very much. No,
+
+00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:43.200
+it's just part of all of the export backends.
+
+00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:45.060
+Actually, I think the way it works is it
+
+00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:47.040
+precedes all of the export backends.
+
+00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:50.280
+When you export, the first thing that happens
+
+00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:52.380
+is expansion of macros.
+
+00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:56.180
+And that's a built-in org mode feature.
+
+00:08:59.280 --> 00:08:59.760
+It's definitely beyond my Emacs Lisp powers
+
+00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:01.360
+to be able to have made something that
+
+00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:06.940
+powerful. That's right.
+
+00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:08.540
+I have come a long way.
+
+00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:10.760
+[Speaker 0]: For now, for now. You know,
+
+00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:12.980
+we always, you know, most of the people who
+
+00:09:14.680 --> 00:09:15.060
+show up to Emacs, especially talking about
+
+00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:17.300
+stuff that has to do with presentations or
+
+00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:18.900
+what they do in academia,
+
+00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:19.780
+you know, they always say,
+
+00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.440
+oh, but, you know, I couldn't have done all
+
+00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:24.280
+this, you know, it's just far away.
+
+00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:26.280
+And then they come back 1 year or 2 years
+
+00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:27.980
+later, and then, oh, I've made my entire
+
+00:09:29.540 --> 00:09:29.700
+library for presentation and stuff like this.
+
+00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:32.980
+So Be hopeful about what the future holds for
+
+00:09:34.760 --> 00:09:34.920
+you in terms of coming up with crazy new
+
+00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:36.800
+features for the entire ecosystem.
+
+00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.060
+[Speaker 1]: Well, let me tell you,
+
+00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:42.540
+since the pandemic, I have written,
+
+00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:44.700
+I wrote my first major mode.
+
+00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:47.020
+It's trivial, but it provides functionality
+
+00:09:49.580 --> 00:09:50.080
+that is very useful to me.
+
+00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:53.940
+And it's going to sound like I'm just trying
+
+00:09:54.760 --> 00:09:54.960
+to butter everyone up,
+
+00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:58.120
+but seeing a lot of the names in the IRC
+
+00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:01.860
+channel, people who have taught me so much on
+
+00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:05.640
+their YouTube channels and in their blog
+
+00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:07.900
+posts and on Reddit and on Mastodon.
+
+00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.220
+Without many of the people who are here today
+
+00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:15.320
+watching my talk, it's very fun to have
+
+00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:18.120
+people who have helped me learn so much about
+
+00:10:19.640 --> 00:10:20.140
+Emacs. So thanks to all of you.
+
+00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:24.140
+[Speaker 0]: Well, and yeah, and now you're becoming part
+
+00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:27.380
+of this crew of people inspiring others to do
+
+00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:29.180
+very much the same. So thank you for joining
+
+00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:32.520
+[Speaker 1]: Thank you very much.
+
+00:10:34.780 --> 00:10:35.020
+[Speaker 0]: the crew. Great. Moving on to the 2 last
+
+00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:36.660
+questions and then we'll open up the mic to
+
+00:10:37.400 --> 00:10:37.900
+other people on BigBlueButton.
+
+00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:40.920
+What kind of comparative feedback are
+
+00:10:42.280 --> 00:10:42.780
+students giving you regarding your approach?
+
+00:10:47.560 --> 00:10:48.060
+[Speaker 1]: Oh my gosh. Students were ready to,
+
+00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:49.620
+during the pandemic especially,
+
+00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:54.600
+when most of the courses were just being
+
+00:10:56.660 --> 00:10:56.820
+taught over Zoom by people sharing their
+
+00:10:56.820 --> 00:10:57.320
+screens.
+
+00:10:58.520 --> 00:10:58.660
+[Speaker 0]: Just a second, sorry, sorry for the
+
+00:10:59.440 --> 00:10:59.800
+interruption, very rude interruption,
+
+00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:01.040
+but I've got the intro for the next talk
+
+00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:02.440
+playing and I'm not sure what's going on.
+
+00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.620
+Give me just a second.
+
+00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:04.940
+Sasha?
+
+00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.340
+So... Yeah, I think it's started.
+
+00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:37.300
+Sure. I got the times wrong,
+
+00:11:38.900 --> 00:11:39.100
+apparently, because of the little delay we
+
+00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:42.380
+had getting the audio fixed up.
+
+00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:44.720
+The good news is that we're still recording
+
+00:11:46.400 --> 00:11:46.680
+the talk right now and we still have James
+
+00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:47.800
+around. Obviously, James,
+
+00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:50.440
+you're no longer on being broadcast on
+
+00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:53.440
+General, but if you want to keep answering
+
+00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:55.520
+questions or if you want to,
+
+00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:57.360
+anyone in the room right now wants to ask you
+
+00:11:58.440 --> 00:11:58.940
+questions, feel free to do so.
+
+00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:01.080
+I'm going to need to hop off because I need
+
+00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:03.060
+to get other things ready for the next talks,
+
+00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:05.320
+[Speaker 1]: But James,
+
+00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:09.120
+[Speaker 0]: sadly. great. And sorry,
+
+00:12:10.040 --> 00:12:10.380
+I'm a little tense, obviously,
+
+00:12:12.680 --> 00:12:13.180
+because I was not expecting this to happen.
+
+00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:16.160
+And that led to a very abrupt end to this
+
+00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:18.480
+discussion. But people afterwards on
+
+00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:21.980
+emacsmo.org slash 2023 slash talks will be
+
+00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.020
+able to find all the content here.
+
+00:12:24.920 --> 00:12:25.420
+So I'll have to leave now.
+
+00:12:26.660 --> 00:12:26.980
+Thank you so much, James,
+
+00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:29.180
+for doing the difficult task of opening up
+
+00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:31.980
+emacs-conf, And I'll probably see you later.
+
+00:12:34.660 --> 00:12:35.160
+[Speaker 1]: Thank you, Leo. Bye-bye.
+
+00:12:54.380 --> 00:12:54.880
+[Speaker 3]: On your, the external,
+
+00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:00.340
+the journal You were, you,
+
+00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:03.520
+you were using the tablet as a monitor,
+
+00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:05.040
+right? Touchscreen monitor,
+
+00:13:05.380 --> 00:13:05.880
+what's that?
+
+00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:07.480
+[Speaker 1]: program. Yes. That's exactly right.
+
+00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:10.540
+So it's a tablet, so it has a touchscreen.
+
+00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:15.580
+And so basically the functionality that that
+
+00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:20.560
+program provides is to be able to just mark
+
+00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:22.160
+up PDFs with a stylus,
+
+00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.280
+you know, in the way that you would use any
+
+00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:30.640
+other tablet. And to be able to take that
+
+00:13:32.920 --> 00:13:33.420
+video signal and put it into another machine.
+
+00:13:35.640 --> 00:13:36.100
+That was the that was the key.
+
+00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:37.400
+That's the killer app.
+
+00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:41.940
+[Speaker 3]: I've thought about grabbing 1 for the purpose
+
+00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.420
+of like changing my laptop into a tablet to
+
+00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:48.140
+read manga, browse the web,
+
+00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:51.020
+and I'm kind of curious if it works well like
+
+00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:53.600
+as a wireless monitor with a tablet?
+
+00:13:59.820 --> 00:14:00.060
+Or how well it like you can use Emacs with it
+
+00:14:04.020 --> 00:14:04.200
+in a tablet mode? Or were you just or you
+
+00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:04.900
+just use
+
+00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.040
+[Speaker 1]: the tablet that I use is this is it it's just
+
+00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:15.020
+the Microsoft Surface and so it comes with a
+
+00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:18.700
+keyboard So you can take the keyboard off.
+
+00:14:22.760 --> 00:14:23.260
+But I use it with the keyboard as well.
+
+00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.740
+And I just.
+
+00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.500
+[Speaker 3]: You're cutting off right now.
+
+00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:34.180
+Audio.
+
+00:14:45.660 --> 00:14:46.160
+Your audio is cutting off right now.
+
+00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:32.240
+How about now? Now I can hear you.
+
+00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:33.960
+[Speaker 1]: How about now? I bumped the mute button on
+
+00:15:37.420 --> 00:15:37.740
+the mic. Yeah, so again,
+
+00:15:38.680 --> 00:15:38.940
+this is... I'm trying to figure out which
+
+00:15:41.020 --> 00:15:41.520
+[Speaker 3]: of the 16 mute buttons you used.
+
+00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:46.200
+[Speaker 1]: It's just the Surface Pro 3 that I got used.
+
+00:15:52.920 --> 00:15:53.300
+And it runs Emacs, I mean it runs GNU Linux
+
+00:15:58.740 --> 00:15:58.980
+really well. And the trouble is that the hard
+
+00:16:01.900 --> 00:16:02.220
+drive, you know, the SSD drive is small and
+
+00:16:06.260 --> 00:16:06.420
+the RAM is small, but it works for the
+
+00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:09.640
+purposes. Basically, if I had a couple
+
+00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.260
+thousand dollars, I could probably buy a
+
+00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:16.560
+touch screen machine or I could run
+
+00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.200
+everything on it and do the streaming and do
+
+00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:25.460
+the video capture and do the PDF markup.
+
+00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:28.480
+But since both of these are so,
+
+00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:31.960
+the hardware that I use is so old and cheap
+
+00:16:33.640 --> 00:16:33.840
+and weak, I'd have to split it across 2
+
+00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.340
+machines.
+
+00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:37.660
+[Speaker 3]: There's also a beauty in making the stuff,
+
+00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.120
+having specific purposes for specific things
+
+00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.160
+where it's just not, yeah,
+
+00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.320
+it's like, I don't want a smart TV that plays
+
+00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:52.540
+Netflix. I want a Smart TV that has all the
+
+00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:55.760
+smarts that I turn my smart TV into a TV
+
+00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:56.620
+monitor. I
+
+00:17:01.020 --> 00:17:01.520
+[Speaker 1]: Don't want to yeah Really?
+
+00:17:04.526 --> 00:17:04.540
+I I totally feel that ethic I totally feel
+
+00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:05.359
+that ethic.
+
+00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:13.940
+[Speaker 3]: Oh, on the some other things,
+
+00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:16.440
+like if you want you To do highlighting in an
+
+00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:19.060
+org mode document you can use org web tools.
+
+00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:20.880
+I wrote this in the notes But you can use org
+
+00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:23.720
+web tools to download a web page And then you
+
+00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:26.980
+can use org remark to start highlighting in
+
+00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:29.700
+the org mode web page And then because it's
+
+00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:30.740
+an org mode document now,
+
+00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:33.100
+[Speaker 1]: right
+
+00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:36.280
+[Speaker 3]: you can just edit it directly If you have If
+
+00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:38.760
+you want other people to join in on an emacs
+
+00:17:40.520 --> 00:17:41.020
+session you could use a package like,
+
+00:17:44.540 --> 00:17:45.040
+what's it called, crdt.el
+
+00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.160
+That will allow 2 people with 2 different
+
+00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:52.820
+Emacs configurations to edit the same buffer.
+
+00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:58.580
+What? And you have a host that can host a
+
+00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.120
+[Speaker 1]: Interesting.
+
+00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.000
+[Speaker 3]: buffer too. And they have 1 optional
+
+00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.200
+extension for org mode that will synchronize
+
+00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:10.640
+the folding of the org drawers.
+
+00:18:14.260 --> 00:18:14.760
+[Speaker 1]: Interesting, I will look into that.
+
+00:18:21.620 --> 00:18:22.120
+[Speaker 3]: Like having I don't like if you want students
+
+00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:25.280
+like you have H highlight line mode.
+
+00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:26.620
+These are just some ideas.
+
+00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:28.420
+It's like you can have like highlight line
+
+00:18:31.040 --> 00:18:31.540
+mode so people can easily see which line
+
+00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.400
+you're on cursor tracking.
+
+00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.180
+And then you can have other people join in,
+
+00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.320
+students, or yeah, that's just a possible
+
+00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:41.820
+idea.
+
+00:18:49.660 --> 00:18:50.000
+[Speaker 1]: Is there anyone else in the big blue button
+
+00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:52.180
+room who has a question?
+
+00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:03.280
+All right, I'm going to go over to the pad
+
+00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:05.280
+and see if there are any pending questions I
+
+00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:11.780
+can address. Thanks PlasmaStrike.
+
+00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.480
+Yep.
+
+00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:30.060
+[Speaker 2]: To be tangled into source code or woven into
+
+00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:33.220
+a documentation file, which could be PDF,
+
+00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:36.640
+could be Markdown, could be OpenOffice,
+
+00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:40.100
+could be a notebook format.
+
+00:19:42.860 --> 00:19:43.260
+This methodology was conceived by Donald
+
+00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:51.940
+Knuth in 1984. The main purpose of literal
+
+00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:54.660
+programming is not only to make code or
+
+00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:57.220
+documentation or output more manageable,
+
+00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:01.220
+but to allow humans to create a data story to
+
+00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:03.460
+be pieced from a single source.
+
+00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:06.340
+What you see on the slide on the left hand
+
+00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.380
+side is the story and code inside an org-mod
+
+00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:14.440
+file. The file starts with some
+
+00:20:17.260 --> 00:20:17.760
+documentation, then you write back down the
+
+00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.080
+code, and at the bottom you see an output
+
+00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:26.500
+file, which is not shown in the slide itself.
+
+00:20:28.140 --> 00:20:28.440
+In the middle, you have the source code,
+
+00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:34.000
+which is the result of tangling or opening a
+
+00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:36.900
+buffer inside offload.
+
+00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:38.940
+On the very right-hand side,
+
+00:20:42.540 --> 00:20:42.840
+we have a PDF. Actually,
+
+00:20:44.100 --> 00:20:44.600
+this is HTML, random.org.
+
+00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:48.420
+The very same file that you see in the memory
+
+00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:52.600
+language. So the humans look at some of this
+
+00:20:54.600 --> 00:20:54.720
+code, and the machines look at other parts of
+
+00:20:57.600 --> 00:20:58.040
+the code. I actually did all my programming
+
+00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:00.260
+in the literate way even in the early 1990s,
+
+00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:02.980
+not using OrgMode, which didn't exist yet,
+
+00:21:05.660 --> 00:21:06.160
+but using Norman Ramsey's NoWeb preprocessor.
+
+00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:09.720
+They still use it inside Org Mode today.
+
+00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:11.900
+This preprocessor, NoWeb,
+
+00:21:14.260 --> 00:21:14.480
+allows you to tangle code from within an Org
+
+00:21:16.020 --> 00:21:16.360
+Mode file that is a self-standing file,
+
+00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:18.820
+much like Org Mode's edit functions,
+
+00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:21.860
+which export code blocks into buffers in
+
+00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:23.600
+whatever language the code blocks.
+
+00:21:28.260 --> 00:21:28.760
+In data science, these interactive notebooks,
+
+00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:31.400
+in 1 of the interpreted languages,
+
+00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.400
+like Julia, Python, or R,
+
+00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.040
+dominate. The basic technology is that of
+
+00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:39.340
+Jupyter notebooks, which take their name from
+
+00:21:42.540 --> 00:21:42.900
+Julia, Python, and R. And these notebooks use
+
+00:21:43.780 --> 00:21:44.200
+a spruce-stuffed shell,
+
+00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:47.860
+for example, IPython, and an option to add
+
+00:21:52.540 --> 00:21:52.940
+SQL cells. Alt mode inside Emacs has a large
+
+00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:56.260
+number of advantages. Some of them are listed
+
+00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.480
+here over these notebooks.
+
+00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.660
+2 of these stand out particularly.
+
+00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:03.360
+Different languages can be mixed,
+
+00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:05.640
+as shown in the image.
+
+00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:07.700
+While in Jupyter notebooks,
+
+00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:10.880
+a notebook is limited to running a kernel in
+
+00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:14.440
+1 language only. The content of the notebook,
+
+00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.560
+its document code or output part,
+
+00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:18.680
+can be exported in a variety of forms.
+
+00:22:18.735 --> 00:22:18.790

+
+00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:19.840
