The ability to adapt and evolve not only enhances your +employability but also empowers you to navigate life's challenges more +effectively. By acquiring new skills, you stay relevant, innovative, and +capable of seizing opportunities that come your way. + +The session will begin with an engaging discussion on the necessity of +learning new skills, emphasizing that the ability to adapt and evolve is +crucial. Using the metaphor of "emptying your teacup," you will explore the +concept of approaching learning with an open mind, ready to absorb new +knowledge and skills. + +Next, you'll dive into actionable techniques for managing your tasks and +projects efficiently. Bala will introduce the PARA method—Projects, Areas, +Resources, and Archives—a structured approach to organizing your work and +life. You will learn how to categorize your tasks, set clear goals, and +maintain a balanced workflow. + +Furthermore, the talk will highlight the importance of regular reviews. +Weekly, quarterly, and yearly reviews will help you stay on track, reflect +on your progress, and plan for the future. Through these reviews, you'll be +encouraged to ask big life questions, such as your financial goals, the +impact you've had on others, and your work-life balance. + +Finally, you'll be introduced to the 9-windows framework, a powerful tool +for future career planning. Join us and take the first step towards +mastering the art and developing the mindset of skillful survival in the +fast-paced ever changing learning jungle. + +About the speaker: + +Dr. Bala Ramadurai is an author, coach, consultant, podcaster and +professor. He has authored a book on Design Thinking called Karmic Design +Thinking (<https://dt.balaramadurai.net>). He has 3 patents to his credit and +10+ publications in international research journals. He co-founded TRIZ +Innovation India (<https://trizindia.org>) and is an Adjunct Professor at +Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (India), Universidad +Panamericana (Mexico), Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies and +National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). He is also a +board member in the Board of Studies for Symbiosis International University. + +In this talk, you'll discover the importance of continuous skill +development and learn practical strategies to manage your personal and +professional growth effectively using Emacs org-mode, Getting Things Done +(David Allen's GTD), PARA (Tiego Forte's Projects-Areas-Resources-Archives) +and system operator (or 9-windows).

My org-teach package +(<https://git.sr.ht/~jamesendreshowell/org-teach/>) is a collection of Org macros that customize export +to LaTeX and Beamer in order to produce (1) textbook-style handouts, (2) slides for classroom +presentation, and (3) quiz and exam questions, all from a single Org source document. It also +provides a simple minor mode that facilitates authoring such source documents. We will discuss the +benefits of producing course materials as plain-text outlines, and of exploiting the power of Emacs +and Org mode for writing and managing book-length teaching materials. + +Last year at EmacsConf 2023, I presented some aspects of an earlier version of org-teach +(<https://git.sr.ht/~jamesendreshowell/org-teach-EmacsConf2023>).

Despite this +importance, most tools don't go beyond simple string/regex matching. +Oftentimes, a user knows more about what they're looking for: who +authored the file, how often it's modified, as well as search terms that +the user is only slightly confident exist. + +p-search is a search-engine designed to combine the various prior +knowledge about the search target, presenting it to the user in a +systematic way. In this talk, I will present this package as well as go +over the fundamentals of inforation retrieval. + +Details: + +In this talk, I will go over the p-search. p-search is a search-engine +to assist users in finding things, with a focus on flexibility and +customizablity. + +The talk will begin by going over concepts from the field of information +retrieval such as indexing, querying, ranking, and evaluating. This +will provide the necessary background to describe the workings of +p-search. + +Next, an overview of the p-search package and its features will be +given. p-search utilizes a probabilistic framework to rank documents +according to prior beliefs as to what the file is. So for example, a +user might know for sure that the file contains a particular string, +might have a strong feeling that it should contain another word, and +things that some other words it may contain. The user knows the file +extension, the subdirectory, and has known that a particular person +works on this file a lot. p-search allows the user to express all of +these predicates at once, and ranks documents accordingly. + +The talk will then progress to discuss assorted topics concerting the +project, such as design considerations and future directions. + +The aim of the talk is to expand the listeners' understanding of search +as well as inspire creativity concerning the possibilities of search +tools. + +Code: <https://github.com/zkry/p-search> + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/p-search-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/p-search-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + diff --git a/2024/talks/pgmacs.md b/2024/talks/pgmacs.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..232294ac --- /dev/null +++ b/2024/talks/pgmacs.md @@ -0,0 +1,49 @@ +[[!meta title="PGmacs: browsing and editing PostgreSQL databases from Emacs"]] +[[!meta copyright="Copyright © 2024 Eric Marsden"]] +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/pgmacs-nav)" raw="yes"]] + +<!-- Initially generated with emacsconf-publish-talk-page and then left alone for manual editing --> +<!-- You can manually edit this file to update the abstract, add links, etc. ---> + + +# PGmacs: browsing and editing PostgreSQL databases from Emacs +Eric Marsden (he/him) - <mailto:eric.marsden@risk-engineering.org> + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/pgmacs-before)" raw="yes"]] + +PGmacs provides an Emacs-based browsing and +editing interface for the PostgreSQL DBMS.
