+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Why did you choose an internal state versus many\`state
+ buffers\`? (ie. actual windows)  Thanks!
+ - A: A single internal state is easier to deal with in the context
+ of the game. Windows would obviously be better for other normal
+ applications to allow users to customize how they should behave.
+- Q:Do you have plans to port shenzhen io to emacs?
+ - A:That would be cool, was also thinking about exopunks.
+- Q:Did this use wasm ? We call some wasm code from Emacs?
+ - A:No, more similar to TIS-100, just a game.
+- Q: Why wasm rather than a more traditional Assembly dialect? It
+ wouldn\'t be harder to implement, right?
+ - A: It would have been easier, but less of a challenge and
+ resemble TIS-100 too much.
+- Q:Any next projects on your mind?
+ - A: Yes, a couple, hopefully more useful. I think tree-sitter is
+ cool. There\'s a neovim plugin called neogen that generates
+ documentation. Hopefully next year I\'ll be presenting something
+ more useful.
+- Q: Does this work with any other paren-based editing packages?
+ - A: Not at all (etc. tbd)
+- Q: What kind of tool could use this idea? 
+ - A: So I think some sort of graph drawing tool in Emacs might
+ have a similar idea. Like artist-mode but with graph drawing
+ constructs.
+- Q:  How did you go about designing the puzzles?
+ - A: With open-ended puzzles like this, coming up with random
+ ideas that seem like they should be implementable usually works.
+ If  you\'ve seen some of Zachtronics games, the bar is extremely
+ high for what is capable.
+- Q: What\' are your favorite changes  in the upcoming emacs 29?
+ - A: Definitely tree sitter. I\'ve played around with it and it
+ provides a nice interface for extracting syntax information.
+ Like I can probably rewrite this plugin without any crazy
+ regexs: <https://github.com/zkry/go-ttest.el>
+- Q: Are there tools to add more puzzles?
+ - A: So the game code itself has a asm-blox-puzzles.el file which
+ defines each puzlze. It\'s pretty easy to add new puzzles but it
+ involves digging into the code.
+- QLike a binding to graphviz? (assume this is a continuation of the
+ \"what kind of tool\" question)
+ - A: I was thinking more ASCII, like a tool I saw called diagon.
+ Like artist mode but for graphs. But graphviz is amazing and a
+ lot could be done with that.

+- Q: (Referencing the first half of your talk): How does this approach
+ compare to using tq.el, Emacs\' built-in library for transaction
+ queues?
+ - A: Great question; should have mentioned that\... I took a look,
+ but chose to just do it \"by hand\"; I wouldn\'t have used many
+ of the features offerred by tq.
+- Q: Have you considered using the aio.el library (written by Chris
+ Wellons) that implements async/await for Emacs lisp using promises?
+ It\'s implemented using Elisp\'s record data structure, and turns
+ the nested callback structure into regular-looking Elisp code
+ (without extra keywords etc). +1
+ - A: I wasn\'t aware, but thanks for the pointer\-- will
+ definitely take a look
+- Q: not to take away from your excellent work, but are you aware that
+ EMMS has an MPD client? There\'s also mpc.el built into Emacs.
+ - A: Another great point; I am, along with mpdel (another MPD
+ client for Emacs). They are all full-fledge applications\-- I
+ just wanted a small, tight toolkit
+- Q:Have you seen the Lonesome Pine Specials? I saw your music library
+ and figured you would be interested. My favorite is the one with
+ Edgar Meyer, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and I think Bela Fleck and
+ Mark O\'Connor?
+ - A: LOL I haven\'t, but I I think I will be!
+- Q: can you share the code to the macro that creates the callback
+ tree?
+ - A: <https://github.com/sp1ff/elmpd/blob/master/elmpd.el#L898>
+ - thanks!
+- Q: would using dynamic/special vars add anything interesting /
+ easier to async elisp in your opinion? i noticed you using \`let\` a
+ lot, but if you defined a variable hmm\... not sure if i can :)  i
+ was just wondering if having dynamic binding in Elisp opposed to
+ something like JS adds some power to async programming
+ - A: lexical binding is easier to reason about :)
+- Q: There\'s another package (chuntaro?) in addition to wellon\'s aio
+ that also implements a coroutine trampoline on the emacs event loop.
+ any thoughts on the async/await paradigm generally red/blue
+ functions, etc?
+ - A: Longer discussion in the chat room, but I think it\'s a
+ promising if over-used approach to concurrency.

+- Q: OFF TOPIC and not a question but a remark: hotmail.com is
+ constantly blocking more and more smaller email servers (for valid
+ but also dubious reasons) and many administrators are frustrated
+ enough not to try to get off Microsoft\'s blocklist any more. So
+ your email address might not be reachable by a substantial set of
+ people especially people who do not use the big email players such
+ as Google.
+ - A: oh what do you suggest? I can use/make a different one
+ - Karl: I\'d recommend not to use Microsoft email servers in
+ general as I\'ve realized in too many situations that admins
+ gave up fighting Microsoft. For example, my Mastodon
+ instance can not be used any more by people using hotmail
+ for that reason. Sometimes, admins do have to pay real money
+ in order to get unblocked by Microsoft. This is a pattern
+ I\'d not support myself. YMMV.
+ - The worst part: users of Hotmail do not realize this
+ until they really need to contact a company or a person
+ who got blocked.
+ - Ah didn\'t know that, I will look into it then. Thanks!
+ - Have a look at e.g. mailbox.org (using renewables),
+ migadu.com (partly), posteo.de (if you don\'t require an own
+ domain\...)
+ - For people who focus on mobile apps and webmailers,
+ protonmail might be a good idea. They are Swiss-based

+- re: \"pushing mindshare\"..  Yes, you were very successful on that!
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: This is such a great overview of dbus.  I hadn\'t been paying
+ attention to this space because it seemed to be in flux (10-15 years
+ age).  How long has dbus been around and what was in place before
+ that?
+ - A: D-Bus dates to 2002, but really saw stabilization and
+ adoption in the 2010s.  There wasn\'t really anything prior to
+ D-Bus, you\'d do some of the things it does by shelling out and
+ driving command-line programs --- not a great approach.
+- Q: Forgive me if this question is silly: Why is everything dBus
+ prefixed with \"org.\"?
+ - A: D-Bus services generally use reverse-FQDN notation, similar
+ to Java packages, and most stuff using it is not-for-profit
+ software, so \`org.\` is a very common prefix for those.
+- Q: In your investigations, do most OS/DE/WM interop well over d-bus?
+ Which one(s) have proven more challenging, if any?
+ - A: Since D-Bus is pretty uniform, DE/WM considerations aren\'t a
+ large concern.  D-Bus isn\'t widely used on non-Linux systems,
+ so OS differences have little to no impact.
+- Q: Re: using EXWM as a Desktop Environment \-- Does EXWM provide a
+ session manager (daemon)?
+ - A: No, but it looks like it can work with external X11 session
+ managers.
+- Q:There is a lot of critisism against d-bus out there, why do you
+ think that might be?
+ - A: Because it\'s not very good.  It uses XML, which isn\'t hip,
+ and I think a lot of people have a knee-jerk negative reaction
+ to.
+- Q: Which system services come to mind when thinking about
+ applications, be it at the OS/DE/WM level?
+ - A: Stuff that interacts with hardware: turning WiFi on and off,
+ connecting to networks, pairing Bluetooth devices.  The kind of
+ stuff you find in the upper-right of the dock/menubar in a
+ traditional DE.
+- Q: \"If you want to do the kinds of things that dBus does, you\'re
+ limited\": What is something dBus does that you couldn\'t do before?
+ What is a really cool use of dBus in a modern DE (KDE/Gnome etc)?
+ - A: D-Bus is fundamentally about making it *easier* to do things,
+ and using that increased ease of use to broaden the number of
+ places that kind of thing gets done.  So there\'s some prior art
+ for doing some of these things, but none of them is as easy as
+ doing it via D-Bus.  As far as specific features: I\'ve been
+ using computers a very long time, and it\'s still magic to me
+ that you can just plug hardware in and immediately use it
+ without having to do anything --- D-Bus is foundational to that
+ kind of interactivity when it comes to things like storage,
+ network, and Bluetooth-connected devices.
+- Q:  When it comes to managing devices, how are dBus and UDev
+ related?
+ - A: They\'re orthogonal.  I believe UDisks2 (which is the D-Bus
+ service for managing disks) talks to UDev2, but this is abstract
+ & not a detail you have to care about as a client of UDisks2.
+- Q: As an average GNU/Linux user, I\'ve used signals and methods
+ before but not properties. You gave an example involving properties,
+ but it kind of flew by. Can you explain briefly what clients and
+ services can do with properties?
+ - A: Properties are metadata associated with an object
+ interface\[.   They can expose r/o information about the object
+ (the name of the host; the UUID of a disk device; the hardware
+ address of a network device), and you can modify certain
+ properties about the object or service by writing to them.  For
+ example, \`org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device\` has an
+ \`AutoConnect\` property, which you can use to enable/disable
+ automatic connection.
+- Q: what is the name of the dbus GUI you showed?  defeat? dfeet?
+ - A: \"d-feet\" 
+- Q:  Naive Q (me not knowing much about dBus): Is there such a thing
+ as a dBus reflection browser (maybe Emacs based) that lets you
+ discover all the behavior different dBus app participants provide?
+ Thinking something like what macOS Automator does? (actually, wait,
+ think you\'re showing it)
+ - A: d-feet is the one I showed:
+ <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DFeet>
+ - I\'d very much like something similar, but built into Emacs.
+- Q:dbus seems great for extensibility. But then Emacs has no such
+ mechanism. And is fantastically more extensibile. Why do you think
+ this is so?         
+ - A: I think these are different kinds of extensibility.  Emacs is
+ much more malleable than anything D-Bus offers.  You can\'t
+ change how existing D-Bus services work in the same way as you
+ can with Emacs customizations, variables, advice, or just going
+ and hacking on the code live; you can only add new features by
+ creating new services.
+- Q:  Do you have other cool dbus ideas?
+ - A: I greatly want to see:
+ - A D-Bus browser.
+ - discomfort expanded and made better looking, so there isn\'t
+ a single storage-related task I can\'t do with it and dired.
+ - A NetworkManager interface, so I don\'t have to use
+ nmtui/nmcli.
+ - A Bluez (bluetooth) interface, so I never have to see
+ bluetoothctl again.
+- Q: Are there Busses besides System and Session? Is there anything
+ more to a Bus besides a way to group ~~services~~ objects?
+ - A: There\'s always at least a System bus; theres one Session bus
+ per logged-in session (so potentially zero).  You can create and
+ connect to as many busses as you want, and they get identified
+ by the socket they listen on, which can be a local UNIX socket
+ or a TCP socket.  This isn\'t a common usecase, most things use
+ system and session.
+- Q: It looks like dBus is mostly useful for Emacs to do IPC \-- IIUC,
+ this is how synctex works when working with LaTeX docs. How does it
+ compare with other ways of doing IPC, for example, communicating
+ over a socket with MPD?
+ - A: D-Bus provides a uniform framework for building these
+ services.  MPD\'s socket interface only works with MPD, and if
+ you want to connect to one, you have to write code that speaks
+ the protocol before you can do high-level things like \"play\"
+ or \"pause.\"  D-Bus provides the underlying communication layer
+ as well as the model for the API, so you get all that stuff for
+ free.  If a music player has a D-Bus interface, and you\'re
+ using a language with D-Bus bindings, you can go from zero to
+ \"support playing and pausing\" in one line of code.
+- Q: ~~What mainstream/popular d-bus alternatives have you seen out
+ there, if any, maybe beyond pipes, udev, and such? -\> somewhat
+ redundant with the above~~
+ - A: There aren\'t any alternatives on Linux that I\'m aware of. 
+ Other operating systems have different ways of doing things
+ similar to what D-Bus does (such as OSA/AppleScript on macOS).
+- Q: I see a python dbus tutorial, does it make sense to have an emacs
+ version?
+ <https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/tutorial.html> 
+ - A: That\'s a really good idea!
+- Q: How if at all do the various web browsers interop (well) via
+ d-bus?
+ - A: It could be better.  Firefox (and forks) have a simple
+ interface that lets you open a URL, but nothing else.  I\'m not
+ sure about other browsers, since LibreWolf is what I use.  If
+ you use d-feet to examine the session bus, you can see!

+- Regarding the not so well oiled parts of eshell. There are many

+ just a statment about emacs in general.
+- Reach out to me if anyone wants to pair up and make a eshell-ext
+ with many of the feature improvements I mentioned in my talk, that
+ probably shouldn\'t clutter up the default eshell implementation.
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Do you fallback to vterm only when needing terminal emulation
+ (ncurses/etc)? Or are there use cases or contexts where you use
+ vterm over eshell beyond just terminal emulation needs?
+ - A: I do vterm mostly for SSH, but Docker builds and Ansible
+ commands can cause a real mess of the screen, so I often run
+ those commands in vterm \... but I\'m not really working with
+ that output.
+- Q: One issue I\'ve had with eshell\'s TRAMP integration is that cd
+ is host agnostic (as you point out). This means typing \`cd\` on a
+ remote machine will cd back to \$HOME on your local machine. Is
+ there a way to cd to \$HOME on the remote machine?
+ - A: It just isn\'t the way it behaves. While Eshell, with a
+ Tramp-based cd command, will ssh \"under the hood\", it is
+ temporary, as all the buffer work is local. I usually don\'t
+ know what will happen, so I often need to switch to vterm for
+ all ssh work. Which gets me upset when I encounter something
+ that I would then like to use Eshell for (like piping the output
+ back to my local Emacs buffer).
+- Q: Thank you for the missing Why eshell. Have you thought about
+ adding it to the eshell manual?
+ - A: maybe I should team up with someone and improve on it
+- Q:Do you know if the eshell {} can be used from elisp? It could make
+ for a nice elisp shell interface.
+ - A: Yes. Start with \`eshell-command\' and some variations on
+ that.
+- Q: How does that interplay with your \"literate-devops\" approach,
+ where things are done in an org buffer/document first instead of
+ directly in the shell/terminal?
+ - A: the 2 are different. I use as REPL to test stuff
+- Q: Do you have a strategy for getting around eshell\'s lack of
+ support for input redirection? (I also miss process substitution.)
+ - A: I have started sending output to Emacs buffers, where I can
+ have more fun editing them than trying to get a pipe command
+ sequence working. I wrote a function to pull a buffer back into
+ Eshell to pipe back to something else. Pipes are problematic in
+ Eshell.
+- Q: Can you call elisp functions as well (ie, not just commands)?
+ - A: Yes. Functions that start with eshell/ are called as if they
+ were commands. However, all functions are available in eshell
+ \... that is what makes it more interesting than the other
+ comint-based term shells.
+- ~~Q: Aren\'t buffers the superior pipes? \--\> that was meant as a
+ comment when he was asked about pipes, not a question per se \--\>
+ alright~~
+ - A:Howard: yes

+ - A: It is a cool idea, but while I tried it when Mickey first
+ published that idea, it didn\'t stay in my workflow.
+- Q: Is \$\$ a built-in feature of eshell or did you add it?
+ - A: The Eshell built-in version of \$\$ doesn\'t always work, so
+ I wrote an updated version that seems to work better (see
+ <https://github.com/howardabrams/hamacs/blob/main/ha-eshell.org#last-results>)

+ output. Mine is just a better hack. :-D
+- Q: Do you ever fallback to terminals/shells outside Emacs, and if so
+ in what circumstances?
+ - A: I boot up with a Terminal to mount remote file systems, as my
+ Emacs configuration isn\'t always stored locally on my machine.
+ I\'ll admit that I sometimes leave the Emacs Garden, but doing
+ anything interesting become frustrating when you have to leave
+ the keyboard for the mouse.
+- Q: What are the less well-oiled parts of Eshell or edge case issues
+ that you encounter if any?
+ - A: We should make a list and start working on them.
+- Q:Do you have ways to improve eshell vterm interop like sharing
+ command history and directory tracking?
+ - A: I don\'t. If I am going to SSH somewhere, I just start vterm,
+ and haven\'t thought about any interop.

+## Notes
+
+- What a wonderful talk.  You knocked it out of the park.  Thank you
+ so much.
+- \"Psychic baggage\" with emacs\-- awareness of possibilities left
+ behind and opportunity costs. 
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: I have not only One config, but multiple configs in different
+ locations\... .emacs/init.el and .emacs.d/init.el and different
+ Python installs in different places. Is this something that I should
+ take care of earlier rather than later? I need to pay someone to
+ \"consult\" on my config. Is this an existing business? Is there a
+ place to barter a screen share for something else of value in
+ exchange? In any case, thank you for giving permission to have fun
+ without the need for too much structure. 
+ - A: Good quetion\... I\'m humbled and will give it some thought.
+ The Buddy emacs system would be a good place to start. 
+ - Now after having thought some more, I think it depends on your
+ comfort level when the best time to reorganize your various
+ environments and configs is. Separate configs and installs might
+ be better separate if they are just doing different things or
+ represent different mental contexts. If the separation starts
+ causing stress or extra effort, at least you then know you have
+ a good reason for merging them
+ - and won\'t be doing it just for its own sake. I still think the
+ Emacs Buddy Initiative sounds like a great way for people to
+ trade eyeballs on stuff like this. And there\'s always the
+ famous rule: just post it somewhere and say it\'s the best
+ approach, and you\'ll get dozens of people giving you free
+ advice on how to improve it!
+- Q:How would you suggest Emacs developers (including package
+ developers) interface with non-developer users and get their
+ insights to help in shaping future Emacs functionality?  What sorts
+ of things make new functionality more welcoming to non-technical
+ users?
+ - A: From what I can tell on the Emacs mailing lists, reaching out
+ to all types of users is already seen as important and results
+ in collaborations like the recent Emacs Survey. As far as going
+ further than that, maybe a space for users of the package where
+ all skill/comfort levels are welcomed and comfortable
+ volunteering feedback? I wonder how many users might not even be
+ interested in ever giving feedback just because they prefer to
+ keep to themselves.
+ - Side note.: sourchut allows multiple repos one one mailing list
+ for smaller packages
+- Q: It\'s my impression that many \"common\" Emacs users are
+ migrating to other editors in past years. The reasons cited include
+ configurations growing out of control, and the general
+ rough-around-the-edges feel of Emacs that they\'ve been putting up
+ with for a while. (Maybe this isn\'t a new phenomenon) As a result,
+ Emacs is becoming home to a *smaller* set of people who are ever
+ *more* invested in it. Do you share this observation? If you do,
+ what do you think of this trend?
+ - A: My impression has been that there has been a large net
+ increase in Emacs users in the last, let\'s say, 5-10 years,
+ probably due to the popularity of tools including, but not
+ limited to, org, starter kits, magit, others I can\'t remember
+ due to a tired brain. One of the hypotheses that I couldn\'t fit
+ in my talk was that I doubted that anyone ever really left
+ Emacs.  Maybe they do some other tasks with other tools (I
+ myself already don\'t use it for all my programming), but they
+ always have some use for it. That could be wrong, of course. I
+ agreee that there may be subpopulations of Emacs users whose
+ proportions and philosophies change over time. I think the
+ coming years will be about those groups finding common ground,
+ but I think the overall population is doing OK at the moment. I
+ could just be too committed to Emacs\' utility to notice other
+ things too much.
+- Q:Do you consider that using one of the starter packages (doom
+ emacs, spacemacs, etc.) affect that learning process that you
+ mentioned? or is it a good thing from your perspective?
+ - A: I don\'t have personal experience with a starter package, but
+ I\'m somewhat familiar with how those two at least work. I think
+ any way is fine for getting started, and would just make your
+ experience different when and if you started to outgrow it or
+ get curious. Again, I\'m technically ignorant about this, but my
+ gut tells me that you could also learn and build a very advanced
+ experience completely inside those kits, and that would still be
+ a great thing, and comparing it to \"standard\" Emacs might be
+ more of an academic distinction for those people. If they picked
+ those up with the INTENTION of one day outgrowing them, that\'s
+ also interesting. I think it would be a personal matter whether
+ that was the right choice. I think at least SOME people would
+ feel that they should have just went straight to standard Emacs,
+ but I don\'t know/feel strongly enough to have a strong belief.
+- Q: Would a \"Tip of the Day\" package or some elaboration on that
+ idea in Emacs help discovery for lay users? Does that already exist?
+ - A: I\'m sure something like that exists, but at the time of the
+ question I could not think of one. I think something like that
+ could help if you got the tips that were appropriate for your
+ situation at the time. I know in other applications, I often end
+ up seeing \"Tip of the Day\" as something that gets in my way,
+ even if I enabled it myself. Maybe a tip-on-demand? It might be
+ hard to provide a stream of tips that can stay interesting and
+ appropriate for a person\'s skill level for a long time, and be
+ available when they were receptive to them. Now I\'m having
+ ideas about how to show context-sensitive animated tips. Perhaps
+ one day I will have a better answer!

+- .
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Has the \'92 UPenn corpus of articles feat been reproduced over
+ and over again using these tools?
+ - A: 
+ - Yes. The \'92 corpus only annotated syntactic structure. It was
+ probably the first time that the details captured in syntax were
+ selected not purely based on linguistic accuracy, but on the
+ consistency of such annotations across multiple annotators. This
+ is often referred to as Inter-Annotator Agreement. The high IAA
+ for this corpus was probably one of the reasons that parsers
+ trained on it got accuracies in the mid 80s or so. Then over the
+ next 30 years (and still continuing..) academics improved on
+ parsers and today the performance on the test set from this
+ corpus is somewhere around F-score of 95. But this has to be
+ taken with a big grain of salt given overfitting and how many
+ times people have seen the test set. 
+ - One thing that might be worth mentioing is that over the past 30
+ years, there have been many different phenomena that have been
+ annotated on a part of this corpus. However, as I mentioned
+ given the difficulty of current tools and representations to
+ integrate disparate layers of annotations. Some such issues
+ being related to the complexity of the phenomena and others
+ related to the brittleness of the representations. For example,
+ I remember when we were building the OntoNotes corpus, there was
+ a point where the guidelines were changed to split all words at
+ a \'hyphen\'. That simple change cause a lot of heartache
+ because the interdependencies were not captured at a level that
+ could be programmatically manipulated. That was around 2007 when
+ I decided to use a relational database architecture to represent
+ the layers. The great thing is that it was an almost perfect
+ representation but for some reason it never caught up because
+ using a database to prepare data for training was something that
+ was kind of unthinkable 15 years ago. Maybe? Anyway, the format
+ that is the easiest to use but very rigid in the sense that you
+ can quickly make use of it, but if something changes somewhere
+ you have no idea if the whole is consistent. And when came
+ across org-mode sometime around 2011/12 (if I remember
+ correctly) I thought it would be a great tool. And indeed about
+ decade in the future I am trying to stand on it\'s and emacs\'
+ shoulders.
+ - This corpus was one of the first large scale manually annotated
+ corpora that bootstrapped the statistical natural language
+ processing era.  That can be considered the first wave\... 
+ SInce then, there have been  more corpora built on the same
+ philosophy.  In fact I spent about 8 years about a decade ago
+ building a much larger corpus with more layers of information
+ and it is called the OntoNotes. It covers Chinese and Arabic as
+ well (DARPA funding!) This is freely available for research to
+ anyone anywhere. that was quite a feat. 
+- Q:Is this only for natural languagles like english or more general?
+ Would this be used for programing laungages.
+ - A: I am using English as a use case, but the idea is to have it
+ completely multilingual. 
+ - I cannot think why you would want to use it for programming
+ languages. In fact the concept of an AST in programming
+ languages was what I thought would be worth exploring in this
+ area of research.  Org Mode, the way I sometimes view it is a
+ somewhat crude incarnation of that and can be sort of manually
+ built, but the idea is to identify patterns and build upon them
+ to create a larger collection of transformations that could be
+ generally useful.  That could help capture the abstract
+ reprsentation of \"meaning\" and help the models learn better. 
+ - These days most models are trained on a boat load of data and no
+ matter how much data you use to train your largest model, it is
+ still going to be a small spec in the universe of ever growing
+ data that are are sitting in today. So, not surprisingly, these
+ models tend to overfit the data they are trained on.  
+ - So, if you have a smaller data set which is not quite the same
+ as the one that you had the training data for, then the models
+ really do poorly. It is sometimes compared to learning a sine
+ function using the points on the sine wave as opposed to
+ deriving the function itself. You can get close, but then then
+ you cannot really do a lot better with that model :-)
+ - I did a brief stint at the Harvard Medical School/Boston
+ Childrens\' Hospital to see if we would use the same underlying
+ philosophy to build better models for understanding clinical
+ notes. It would be an extremely useful and socially beneficial
+ use case, but then after a few years and realizing that the
+ legal and policy issues realted to making such data available on
+ a larger scale might need a few more decades, I decided to step
+ off that wagon (if I am using the figure of speech correctly).
+ - .
+ - More recently, since I joined the Linguistic Data Consortium, we
+ have been looking at spoken neurological tests that are taken by
+ older people and using which neurologists can predict a
+ potential early onset of some neurological disorder. The idea is
+ to see if we can use speech and langauge signals to predict such
+ cases early on. The fact that we don\'t have cures for those
+ conditions yet, the best we can do it identify them earlier with
+ the hope that the progression can be slowed down.
+ - .
+ - This is sort of what is happening with the deep learning hype.
+ It is not to say that there hasn;t been a significant
+ advancement in the technologies, but to say that the models can
+ \"learn\" is an extremely overstatement. 
+
+\
+
+- Q: Reminds me of the advantages of pre computer copy and paste. Cut
+ up paper and rearange but having more stuff with your pieces.
+ - A: Right! 
+ - Kind of like that, but more \"intelligent\" than copy/paste,
+ because you could have various local constraints that would
+ ensure that the information that is consistent with the whole. I
+ am also ensioning this as a usecase of hooks. And if you can
+ have rich local dependencies, then you can be sure (as much as
+ you can) that the information signal is not too corrupted.
+ - .
+ - I did not read the \"cut up paper\" you mentioned. That is an
+ interesting thought. In fact, the kind of thing I was/am
+ envisioning is that you can cut the paper a million ways but
+ then you can still join them back to form the original piece of
+ paper. 
+
+```{=html}
+<!-- -->
+```
+
+\
+
+- Q: Have you used it on some real life situation?
+ - A: NO. 
+ - I am probably the only person who is doing this crazy thing. It
+ would be nice, or rather I have a feeling that something like
+ this, if worked upon for a while by many might lead to a really
+ potent tool for the masses. I feel strongly about giving such
+ power to the users, and be able to edit and share the data
+ openly so that they are not stuck in some corporate vault
+ somewhere :-) One thing at a time.
+ - .
+ - I am in the process of creating a minimally viable package and
+ see where that goes.
+ - .
+ - The idea is to start within emacs and orgmode but not
+ necessarily be limited to it.
+
+- Q:Do you see this as a format for this type of annotation
+ specifically, or something more general that can be used for
+ interlinear glosses, lexicons, etc? \-- Does wordsense include a
+ valence on positive or negative words\-- (mood) . 
+
+- Interesting. question.  There are sub-corpora that have some of this
+ data. 
+
+- - A: Absolutely. IN fact, the project I mentioned OntoNotes has
+ multiple layers of annotation. One of them being the
+ propositional structure which uses a large lexicon that covers
+ about 15K verbs and nouns and all their argument structures that
+ we have been seen so far in the corpora. There is about a
+ million \"propositions\" that have been released recently (we
+ just recently celebrated a 20th birthday of the corpus. It is
+ called the PropBank. 
+
+- There is an interesting history of the \"Banks\" . It started with
+ Treebank, and then there was PropBank (with a capital B), but then
+ when we were developing OntoNotes which contains:
+ - Syntax
+ - Named Entities
+ - Coreference Resolutoion
+ - Propositions
+ - Word Sensse 
+
+- All in the same whole and across various genre\... (can add more
+ information here later\... )
+
+- Q: Are there parallel efforts to analyze literary texts or news
+ articles? Pulling the ambiguity of meaning and not just the syntax
+ out of works? (Granted this may be out of your area\-- ignore as
+ desired)
+ - A: :-) Nothing that relates to \"meaning\" falls too far away
+ from where I would like to be. It is a very large landscape and
+ growing very fast, so it is hard to be able to be everywhere at
+ the same time :-)
+ - .
+ - Many people are working on trying to analyze literature.
+ Analyzing news stories has been happening since the beginning of
+ the statistical NLP revolution---sort of linked to the fact that
+ the first million \"trees\" were curated using WSJ articles :-)
+
+- Q: Have you considered support for conlangs, such as Toki Pona?  The
+ simplicity of Toki Pona seems like it would lend itself well to
+ machine processing.
+ - A:  This is the first time I hearing of conlangs and Toki Pona.
+ I would love to know more about them to say more, but I cannot
+ imaging any langauge not being able to use this framework.
+ - conlangs are \"constructed languages\" such as Esperanto ---
+ languages designed with intent, rather than evolved over
+ centuries.  Toki Pona is a minimal conlang created in 2001, with
+ a uniform syntax and small (\<200 word) vocabulary.
+ - Thanks for the information! I would love to look into it.
+
+- Q: Is there a roadmap of sorts for GRAIL?
+ - A: 
+ - Yes. I am now actually using real world annotations on larg
+ corpora---both text and speech and am validating the concept
+ further. I am sure there will be some bumps in the way, and I am
+ not saying that this is going to be a cure-all, but I feel
+ (after spending most of my professional life building/using
+ corpora) that this approach does seem very appealing to me. The
+ speed of its development will depend on how many buy into the
+ idea and pitch in, I guess.
+
+- Q: How can GRAIL be used by common people?
+ - A: I don\'t think it can be used by common people at the very
+ moment---partly because most \"common man\" has never heard of
+ emacs or org-mode. But if we can valide the concept and if it
+ does \"grow legs\" and walk out of the emacs room into the
+ larger universe, then absolutely, anyone who can have any say
+ about langauge could use it. And the contributions would be as
+ useful as the consistency with which one can capture a certain
+ phenomena.
+ - .
+ - Everytime you use a capta these days, the algorithms used by the
+ company storing the data get slightly better. What if we could
+ democratize this concept. That could lead to fascinating things.
+ Like Wikipedia did for the sum total of human knowledge.

+- Tesseract is a free and open source tool to do OCR (may or may not

+ - <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract>
+- Karl Voit: I\'m not practicing handwritten OCR at the moment. From
+ what I\'ve read, offline handwriting OCR (offline OCR = not
+ recognizing while writing but form a (scanned) document) is only
+ implemented in a good way in highly proprietary services such as

+ (<https://karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of-OneNote/>), I don\'t have
+ personal experience. I\'m still hoping that there will be a FOSS
+ solution one fine day.
+ - I\'m (rarely) taking notes on my BOOX Note Air e-ink tablet
+ (which I love). It has decent on-device offline-OCR but it\'s
+ really tedious to use it. So usually, I keep the notes as PDF
+ file and don\'t care to OCR it. Not great but at the moment I

+ - After all: I\'m much faster when typing on my keyboard

+ system.
+- Q: Is it necessary to OCR your handwriting or change the way you
+ write to use your workflow? 
+ - A: Yes, you have to do this to facilitate indexing and linking. 
+- Q: What about Searching notes, notes to text while being offline
+ - A: only proprietary software like Google Keep and Microsoft

+ de-duplication for searching, do you want one or the other, both?
+ - A:

+- Q: How fancy has your handwritten notes import been to org mode,
+ Bullets, TODO , org tables etc\...
+ - A: Bala uses an asterisk on paper when writing tasks, and makes
+ them into org tasks during manual transcription. Would be really
+ cool to OCR org constructs from paper. TODO items etc.
+ - Handwriting helps thinking, speaking with an audience. Computers
+ have led to handwriting being less important, but Bala thinks
+ they\'re very efficient and important :)
+- Q: How often do you instead type in and summarize your notes? Would

h. Hyperbole Expands Org Mode to an Emacs-wide Persistant Hyperbutton-Action Capability on Any Textual Format
+# Discussion
+
+## Notes
+
+- Sorry a few pixels at the left of the screen are cut off due to how
+ it was recorded but it should not affect the bulk of the information
+ you\'ll see.  We\'ll also make the Org document driving the
+ presentation available for offline review.
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Can you have multiple implicit button files, if so how would you
+ know which link came from what files?
+ - A: Links are one way at the present time, so you just place them
+ where they are needed and activate them.  Things like HyRolo can
+ be used to locate matching elements across multiple files.
+- Q: What about using implicit buttons with multiple people with
+ different configs?
+ - A:As mentioned in the talk, environment and Lisp variables
+ embedded in path links allow for sharing links whose location
+ varies by user/team.  In other cases you often want team members
+ to see the same result as someone else sees when a button is
+ activated.
+- Q: Coming in from Org/Org-mode, would it be a fair assessment that
+ Hyperbole is in some way a \*generalization\* of what most people
+ think of the great features of Org to work across formats (i.e. not
+ just in Org buffers, though \*also\* therein), with the Hyperbole
+ links/buttons being the recurring example? And that it then further
+ adds some capabilities (again across formats and thus including in
+ Org buffers). Being a global minor mode (vs a major mode and thus
+ coupled to a particular format namely org) is interesting per se,
+ and I think goes to RMS\'s talk that Org\'s features could be more
+ generalized and modularized. How is Hyperbole in that respect?
+ - A:Org, I believe, is focused on being an interactive notebook
+ and publishing tool notably for scientists or academics, even
+ though it is used by other technical people.  Hyperbole is for
+ creating a hyperverse filled with many types of text files and
+ interlinking them while maintaining their native formats; it
+ does little with conversion to formats for publication, aside
+ from export of Koutlines to HTML for use on the web.
+- Q: Internal/Radio targets: are they able to link to other Org mode
+ files (that are part of my agenda)? Background: \<\<\<example
+ target\>\>\> (default Org mode feature) is great for glossary and so
+ forth but only works within a single Org mode file.
+ - A: You could develop an implicit button type that would link
+ from an external file to a radio target in another file.  These
+ usually are just a few lines of code.
+- Q: Your package advances how useful a mouse can be with creating
+ links, do you have any experiance or thoughts about how
+ touchscreens, or mice could be used or improved with emacs..
+ - A: I place the Action Mouse Key on my middle mouse button and
+ the Assist Mouse Key on my right mouse button because I find
+ them that useful.  The existing drag capabilities of the mouse
+ are similar to actions we would have for a touchscreen
+ interface.
+- Q: Would you consider Hyperbole to be more of a format spec that can
+ then be handled however we want? Or the engine itself along with
+ that format? i.e. can the simple link formats be used for other
+ extensible purposes?
+ - A: yes, hyperbole was thoughts a s an hypertxt engine and then
+ be avail. to multiple apps (as API). turns out didnt work really
+ well
+- Q: How is the integration with org-roam?
+ - A: We are just beginning to work with org-roam and will likely
+ add a Hyperbole interface to it across time.  We are also
+ looking at related tools and how
+- Q: When doing something where do you determine where to put it
+ \'kotl, rolo, org\".? I like kotl for journaling and org mode for
+ gtd.:)
+ - A: sure, they\'re both outlined formats and they work well.
+ depends on your taste
+- Q:Would you recommend a specific resource for getting into
+ Hyperbole, or should I just start with the manual? Definitely
+ interested in getting into this. (oh I love interactive demo style
+ formats, great!)
+ - A: dont start with the manual! :) for learning use the menu
+ system C-h-d-d and watch the interactive demo. Then watch one of
+ the tutorial videos (mentioned before)
+- Q: What is hyperorg?
+ - A: probably a typo for hyperborg
+- Q:Do you have advice for people who\'d like to try using Hyperbole
+ with Org, but don\'t want to pollute Org files with inline Hyperbole
+ links (e.g., with files that will be published)? (\...Or is that
+ inevitably the point of Hyperbole links?)

+## Notes
+
+- Thanks for a great talk - this was the missing piece in the puzzle
+ of the website I\'m tinkering with!
+ - I\'m so happy to hear that!
+- Similar: <http://www.by-star.net/> and
+ <http://www.by-star.net/content/generated/doc.free/bystar/PLPC/180038/current/accessPage>
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Have you wu. This allows you to make a login that you own or at
+ least is more open souree and ownable. Seems to fit in with indie
+ web
+ - A: No but I will check it out later
+- Q: How did you create the graphical drill-down representation of the
+ make call? Is it hand-written and scanned in?
+ - A: LOL\... I started with a diagram I made at
+ <https://excalidraw.com/>. The initial diagram was the complete
+ flow. Exported that to Gimp & made the intermediate slides there
+- Q: what happens when you re-publish or re-export the same post? i.e.
+ will the webmention be sent out repeatedly?
+ - A: You could do that but it would annoy the recipient. The
+ system is smart enough not to re-send the mentions.
+- Q: An advantage I see to using org mode for the indieweb  for this
+ is you can use it for your notes \"org roam for example\" and org
+ mode no-export for private data you don\'t want ot share. Your
+ webmentions could be org files as notes.. Anything else good about
+ using org mode for this.
+ - A:
+- Q:  Any thoughts on using with with Ox-Hugo?
+ - A: No. So far, I was following an Emacs/Org mode OOTB (out of
+ the box) approach and pushing emacs as far as I could take it
+- Q: So, is this a Web3 approach? Web 1 = static sites Web 2 =
+ interactive sites- but centralized
+ - A: Indieweb is about reclaiming your data. It\'s a distibuted
+ approach.
+ - Annotation Karl: some people started the term Web0 for similar,
+ decentralized approaches. ;-)
+ - Annotation Karl: Web3 is supposed to be something really strange
+ with Blockchains and this is definitely nothing like that Web3
+ (which will be a dead bubble in a few months IMHO)
+ - Here's the link: Do you see this as a format for annotations
+ specifically, or something more general that can be used for
+ interlinear glosses, etc?
+- Q: Is there a workflow to use emacs to publish and connect directly
+ to target websites instead of telegraph?
+ - A: If you want to cut telegraph cut out of the equation, you\'ll
+ need more work on the client-side. \"What if they\'re down?\"
+ \... 
+- Q: Do you have to have a process running on the web server to
+ recieve requests?
+ - A: Nope\-- just a cron job
+- Q: I think perhaps you are doing too much inside of emacs?
+ - A: When I started, I thought that I was so close with the OOTB
+ (out of the box) features. 
+- Q: Say you start out using webmentions-as-a-service (webmention.io,
+ telegraph.p3k.io) and then you want to chnge endpoint, whether to a
+ different service, or to your own new server with a CGI script or
+ something. Will that work smoothly, do you think, or will there be
+ mentions piling up at your old address?
+ - A: Should be fine, unless your senders are doing something very
+ odd
+- Q:Have you seen <https://github.com/AgregoreWeb/agregore-browser> It
+ is a decentrilized kiss browser. Using some of the peer to peer
+ protocols used whithin this could be useful for propgating stuff
+ like webmentions.

+- Q: It\'d be interesting if you explained why WeChat is a necessity

+
+- <https://github.com/manateelazycat/lsp-bridge>
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Is the fatal mistake of this approach that you can\'t M-x
+ find-function into the code?
+ - A: It is an unfortunate tradeoff. But what is the \"fatal\"
+ part?
+- Q:Will lsp-bridge replace eglot/lsp-mode, or could it work with
+ them?
+ - A: Yes, lsp-bridge will replace lsp-mode/eglot and
+ company/corfu.
+- Q:Is it possible to use lsp-mode and lsp-bridge together (Disabling
+ completions of lsp-mode)?
+ - A: lsp-bridge is plugin to replace lsp-mode and eglot, can\'t
+ work with lsp-mode.
+- Q:Is there a demo of lsp-bridge showing its performance?
+ - A:Hard to do that in 20 minute presentation about the
+ principles. Best to try it to see.
+- Q:Will this be a candidate for core Emacs?
+ - A:Perhaps not, it uses a lot of Python and many Emacsers may not
+ like that instead of pure elisp.
+- Q:If performance is the main objective, why Python and not something
+ like, e.g. Rust?
+ - A:Python is easy to develop in, and LSP\'s performance is
+ IO-based. The key is multi-threading, not language performance.
+ - A: LSP is IO intensive not CPU intensive, Python isn\'t doing
+ too good with latter but former is pretty fine. Anyways, as
+ I\'ve explained in the talk, the multithreading design
+ fundamentally fixed the problem, it doesn\'t need any faster
+ language. Existing python ecosystem and python\'s ease of
+ development were also part of consideration
+- Q: Is there a benchmark comparison with lsp-mode and eglot?
+ - A: It is a nuisance to create a benchmark comparison when
+ lsp-bridge and lsp-mode/eglot are structured so fundamentally
+ different (single-thread & multi-thread). Feel free to try
+ lsp-bridge on a huge repository with a slow server (i.e volar,
+ java), you will experience the difference immediately
+- Q:You tried lsp-mode , but have you tried Eglot re:performance? I
+ heard lsp-mode isn\'t that efficient.
+ - A:lsp-bridge is much much faster than eglot and lsp-mode
+ - A: lsp-mode and eglot both suffer from bottlenecks from the
+ single-threaded Emacs and the uncontrollability of the codebase
+ size & lsp-servers, I\'ve also heard eglot is better in terms of
+ performance than lsp-mode, but lsp-bridge avoided this problem
+ fundamentally
+- Q:How well does lsp-bridge coexist with clojure-lsp and cider?
+ - A: clojure-lsp is part of the supported language servers
+ already., C\# also supported by OmniSharp
+- Q:Can lsp-bridge work with all LSP backends or just Python at the
+ moment?
+ - A: All LSP backends.
+ - A:
+ <https://github.com/manateelazycat/lsp-bridge#supported-language-servers>
+- Q: Is there any plan to support dap-mode or something alike?
+ - A: Yes, but this year I\'ve already spent so much time on
+ develop lsp-bridge/EAF/blink-search/deno-bridge/markmacro. We
+ can use lsp-bridge\'s technology build faster dap-mode similar
+ project.
+- Q: does lsp-bridge work over Tramp?
+ - A: tramp is very slow, I will planinng write new plugin to
+ replace tramp, then we will make lsp-bridge work on remote
+ machine, and something like VSCode does,  idea
+ <https://github.com/manateelazycat/lsp-bridge/issues/357>
+- Q: Does acm mode work on terminal or it only works on GUI?
+ - A: The main acm-mode bundled with lsp-bridge only works on GUI
+ at the moment. There is a community maintained repo that enables
+ acm-mode to work on terminal:
+ <https://github.com/twlz0ne/acm-terminal>
+- Q: acm-mode is fast, is it possible to use it outside of lsp-bridge
+ as a standalone mode?
+ - A: No, acm-mode fast is because lsp-bridge\'s multi-thread and
+ asynchronous design, not because acm-mode itself
+- Q: What lsp features will not be considered in lsp-bridge? How about
+ symbol highlight, breadcrumbs?
+ - A:lsp-bridge\'s highest priority is performance, symbol
+ highlight is not useful and it will slow down the render
+ performance (symbol-overlay is better choose)
+ - A: breadcrumbs is not LSP procotol, I just want we coding like
+ hacker that live in Emacs, I don\'t want make Emacs like a
+ VSCode clone.

+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: so the LINKS drawers holds so-called \"backlinks\"?
+ - A: yes. You can customize the drawer name.
+- Q: does this configuration you use need packages outside elpa?
+ - A: yes. repository link:
+ <https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgmode-link-demo>
+- Q:Can you filter out blocked taskes on stuff like your agenda or a
+ specific agenda view, When you want to know what you can do next?
+ - A: Blocked tasks are never shown on the agenda by default.
+ Whenever there is no scheduled timestamp attached to a heading,
+ it\'s not visible on my agenda. If you use the dependencies as
+ described in the demo, the timestamp is only marked if the
+ previous one is canceled. So blocked tasks are not shown in this
+ setup.
+- Q:The functionality seems quite nice but the markup seems pretty
+ heavy in the property drawers.  Do you ever have any issues having
+ so much meta-level information in the file?
+ - A: As long as it doesn\'t need to be typed manually there\'s no
+ real issue. The orgmode files tend to be large. I haven\'t felt
+ it\'s bloated.
+- Q:Does this change how you use todo keywords \"next, todo,
+ blocked?\", avoiding some or starting to use others
+ - A: No. My keywords are NEXT, STARTED, WAITING, DONE, CANCELLED
+- Q:Org Brain has stuff like parent links and directional links,
+ sibling links. If org roam else has nothing else intersting what
+ about like the previous stuff?
+ - A: My links are not \"directed\" most of the time. So I don\'t
+ have the requirment for specific link types or directions. In
+ short: I don\'t need semantic links so far. Following the KISS
+ principle. I get the information from the context of the link.
+- Q: DO you find that the links are fragile, hard to maintain?
+ - A: not really. sometimes I rename links and the link name is not
+ updated, that require some fixes by hand
+- Q: PhD Thesis link
+ - A: <https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml> The first
+ chapters of my thesis should be easy to read for the general
+ public as I summarize the history of PIM (Personal Information
+ Management) research
+ - \+ related github projects around tagstore
+ <https://github.com/novoid/>
+ - tagstore <https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/> = research
+ prototype software in Python to do research around tagging
+ interfaces for local files
+ - flexible to adapt
+ - Topic: improving the local file management beyond the usual
+ hierarchy of directories (tagging + TagTrees)
+ - DONE AFTER my PhD:
+ <https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/>
+ filetags, date2name, move2archive, \...
+- Q: why not org-id\'s UUIDs for IDs, and the preference for
+ human-readable ones (and not just use CUSTOM\_ID for those)?
+ - Karl: I hate UUID because they\'re opaque, so I removed them.
+ - I don\'t understand. There is a part for human to read
+ description: \[\[UUID\]\[A human readable description\]\]
+ - Karl: this would not add any benefit from my personal point
+ of view as longs as the human-readable ID is unique. So why
+ not get rid of the UUID and use the humand readable link
+ text?
+ - A human readble link is fragile, e.g. space, non acsii
+ characters. When unexpected things happen, it is hard to
+ detect the change. Using human-readable link text
+ release the stress, so the user could focus on the
+ content. 
+ - Karl: You should take a look at my Elisp function that
+ generates the ID strings. No problem so far.
+ <https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org>
+ - I found you write a blog about it:
+ <https://karl-voit.at/2019/11/16/UOMF-Linking-Headings/>
+ . I will read about it.
+ - I found \`(defun
+ my-generate-sanitized-alnum-dash-string(str)\`
+ in the
+ - way to generate your ID requires replace
+ non-ASCII characters: ;;
+ - Replace German Umlauts with 7-bit ASCII.
+ - ;; Replace German Umlauts with 7-bit ASCII.
+ - (str (replace-regexp-in-string \"\[Ä\]\" \"Ae\"
+ str t))
+ - (str (replace-regexp-in-string \"\[Ü\]\" \"Ue\"
+ str t))
+ - This is a very tedious work to do. I don\'t know
+ if users come from
+ - other non-ASCII characters would have to write
+ their own replacement
+ - regular expression.
+- Q. do you have/use anything for \"what links here / to this
+ heading\", in a more occur/grep-style buffer and auto.?
+ - A: not yet, I use org-occur in the buffer and get the result
+- Q: (totally tangential):  Do you navigate your files with the arrow
+ keys or with C-{pnbf}?  I saw arrows on your key-cast.
+ - It\'s more complicated than that:
+ <https://karl-voit.at/2021/05/23/advantage2-modifications/>
+ - In short: I\'m using the arrow keys but they are not where
+ you\'d assume they are. ;-)

+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Not a question, but just a great thanks for \"This month in org\"
+ which helps us get awareness about the greatness of Org!
+ - A:Thanks :)
+- Q: Does the project need other kinds of support (infrastructre,
+ etc.) which can\'t be covered by donations to devs? (without
+ detriment to supporting devs!!)
+ - A: There isn\'t much in terms of ongoing costs (just hosting
+ <https://orgmode.org> really), but donations are great for
+ dignifying the work done, indicating the value it has to the
+ community, motivating developers, and also helping
+ justify/enable more time to be spent working on Org.
+- Q: What is the use of parsers in other languages? Is it to make org
+ available in other applications?
+ - A:Org is being used outside Emacs (e.g. Hugo, Logseq, rendering
+ on GitHub/GitLab/Gitea), and so it\'s worth trying to make sure
+ they treat the syntax in a consistent manner. Similarly, if
+ people build nice tools for Org outside Emacs, that\'s nice for
+ us :)
+ - Voit: Shameless plug:
+ <https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgdown/-/blob/master/README.org>
+ is also an idea to promote the syntax of Org mode in tools
+ outside of Emacs. After all, everybody is getting advantages
+ when Orgdown (syntax of Org mode; often named \"org\" but it\'s
+ frequently mixed up with the Elisp implementation) is a rather
+ popular syntax.
+- Q: citar package is a really pleasant addition with support for
+ org-style citations. What\'s your take?
+ - A: Citar is great, IMO
+- Q: How many hours a week do you spend contributing to org?
+ - A: It varies a lot. It\'s also a bit difficult to say, because
+ there have been a fair few patch sets which have been
+ \"incubated\" in my config before brining them to Org mode, and
+ so I need to detangle \"time spent tinkering on Org in my
+ config\" and \"time spent working on patches for Org mode\".
+ Some weeks it\'s \~0h, others it might be as much as \~30h. The
+ average might sit around \~5h, but that\'s just a wild guess.
+- Q: As a fan of emacs org-mode and Julia myself too, do you see any
+ possiblities/wishes/plans to somehow connect org and julia evenmore
+ (apart from ob-julia). Perhaps a julia parser of org-mode, or
+ something like that?  Just wanna personally thank you for all the
+ effort in org, emacs and julia you are putting throughout! I have
+ learned quite a bit about doom emacs config from your blogs too. I
+ feel like our setup/interest overlaps quite a bit, and its always
+ helpful too see your work out there. Thanks again, keep up the great
+ work!
+ - A: Wait a few slides 😉 (<https://github.com/tecosaur/Org.jl>)
+- Q: \"Org\", \"Org-mode\", \"org-mode\", \"Org/Org-mode\"? Which one
+ for the format/notation and which one for the software proper, and
+ then the whole thing (with org-contrib and third-party packages) vs
+ just the repo and major mode per se?
+ - A: \"Org mode\" for the project, \"org-mode\" for the major
+ mode, \"Org\" for the format
+- Q: How much time/week do you spend editing your doom config?
+ - A: Err, too much 😆 
+ - I feel that :D
+- Q:In your doom configs, you like using variables fonts and stuff,
+ basically a lot visuals everywhere. I feel that it makes everything
+ sluggish. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe there are less visible
+ tricks in your config?
+ - A: It doesn\'t make things slow enough that I care, basically.
+ Doom does some nice performance stuff, and I try to go for
+ deferred loading and look for text-properties over overlays for
+ performance in visual packages. As for varaible pitch fonts
+ look, that\'s handled by Harfbuzz not elisp AFAIK (and so
+ doesn\'t really affect performance).
+- Q: Do you use linux or mac system? What kinds if not a secret?Q
+ - Linux, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed specifically

+## Notes
+
+- Thank you. Super cool that you started guix home. (:
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Do you use this to have multiple configs running side by side for
+ live comparison?
+ - A: Yes, two separate configs. (more capture TBD)
+- Q: Are you using Guix System, or Guix on top of another distro?  If
+ System, any tips?  I tried Guix System, but found getting started
+ was very difficult due to lacking WiFi firmware and incomplete
+ documentation.
+ - A: Yes he uses Guix system and package manager. RE: WiFi: First
+ option is to buy a wifi adaptor that doesn\'t require
+ proprietary firmware.
+- Q: One of the issues I\'ve had managing Emacs packages with Guix is
+ a conflict between the Guix package ethos (read-only) and the Emacs
+ package ethos (hackable in real-time). Any suggestions to resolve
+ this?
+ - A: There is an interactive/live workflow for editing emacs
+ configuration, which kinda similiar to usual, but you persist
+ your changes from time to time and rebuild the configuration to
+ apply those persisted changes for new emacs instances.
+- Q: What is next for rde?
+ - A: Short term plan is to prepare more documentation, getting
+ started guide, live CD to explore system. Also would like to
+ find maintainers to help. 
+- Q: Do you use emacs without this? If so, for what purposes, and how
+ does it feel compared to rde?
+ - A: No, I don\'t use emacs outside of RDE. There\'s a way to add
+ mostly anything in your emacs config into RDE.But doesn\'t use
+ it because it isn\'t reproducible. Can break between machines.
+- Q:Are there any plans to push things from rde to guix\'s main
+ channel?
+ - A: Would like to push some things upstream but can\'t always fit
+ patches 
+- Q: How difficult is it to add support for new Emacs packages to
+ Guix?  Have you found that\'s burdensome vs. package.el or other
+ in-Emacs package management approaches?
+ - A: Packaging elisp for guix isn\'t hard at all, in most cases
+ it\'s really easy. Sending patches is a little more involved,
+ but also not rocket science :)
+- Q: Do your reckon RDE is currently opinionated? Or is it a one size
+ fits all framework?
+ - A: It\'s vanilla-flavored and kinda opinionated at the same
+ time, but everyone free to use whatever parts/features fits
+ them, also they free to implement or use implemented by others
+ features, which can fit better for them than original rde\'s
+ features.
+- Q: How to get into RDE? Is there already documentation/getting
+ started guide?
+ - There is an example configuration and link to slightly sparse
+ manual at <https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/rde>, you can ask question
+ \#tropin at libera.chat.
+- Q: Can you mix RDE with custom emacs init file?
+ - Yes, you can, but it will add irreproducibility to your setup.

+- Q:  Pretty neat\-- Can you say how this is better than maintaining a
+ gui spreadsheet? 
+ - A: As all things in life, this is preference. org tables are
+ text only and for me this is easier than learning yet another
+ tool (google spreadsheets/MS excel/etc) but totally up to you
+ :)  Also, you can write your formulas in Elisp instead of
+ whatever crippled language you have to use in other
+ spreadsheets.+2 (move the logic to lisp to other package and
+ decouple/reuse it other documents, test it, etc.); Moving around
+ cols + rows - is also way faster than what one can do in GUI
+ spreadsheet apps
+- Q: Is there a way to share the constants between the tables?
+ - A: You can create a constants for the entire buffer, or save
+ them as variables :)
+- Q: Can you please provide the link to the org file?
+ - A: Currently the file is not hosted anywhere. I can put it in a
+ github repo in a bit :)
+- Q:Is there a way to link to a cell in another row in the same table?
+ or other tables?
+ - A:I think i remember reading that it is possible to do the first
+ part of your question. I don\'t think you can do the 2nd part
+ about linking cells from other tables. I\'d recommend double
+ checking w/ the org docs since I can be misremembering things :)

+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Pragmatically, how are people that buy into these ideals, and
+ especially those that build the software, meant to live/thrive,
+ short of renouncing many of the luxuries of modern life, as many
+ have been struggling to reconcile both it appears. Wouldn\'t it be
+ smarter and more productive longer-term to solve that problem too?
+ - A: (answered on stream, will be copied later)
+- Q: I have been admiring your work for free software for many years
+ now. I am a bit concerned about what will happen to the GNU project
+ when you retire (not soon, I hope!!). Have you planned how to manage
+ the GNU project in the long run?
+ - A: (answering on stream, will be copied later)
+ - RMS: haven\'t found a way yet. We\'ll have to try again.
+- Q: In response to your aversion to JavaScript support in Emacs: In
+ the same way that to revolt against the nonfree spirit in software
+ development one has to develop software, and that to fight nonfree
+ compilers one has to write a free compiler - can you fairly consider
+ rejection of JavaScript as a tool conducive to improving the state
+ of free JavaScript? A server can send back any MIME type to execute
+ on your machine, JS was just the most convenient.
+ - A: The issue is different in kind. We already have free JS
+ support.  Free browsers contain it.  The issue is the programs
+ that are going to run. If JS would allow you to inspect the code
+ before runing it, it wouldn\'t be problematic. The problem is
+ that they end up in your browser and the user has no idea
+ what\'s happening.  Websites are mistreating users. The
+ important thing about it is the danger it creates. 
+- Q: With all the recent additions and optimizations to Emacs Lisp
+ (lexical scoping, native compilation etc.) would you deem Emacs Lisp
+ suitable for general purpose programming outside Emacs (i.e.
+ scripting, running web servers). If not, why?
+ - A: Nothing wrong with this in principle, but it would be a
+ distraction. I\'d rather we didn\'t do it. If we had 1K
+ programmers ready to do this and every other thing, no problem.
+ We don\'t. There are many other platforms that can accommodate
+ programs. I\'d rather use emacs to do its work and leaving other
+ languages to theirs. 
+- Q: Would a namespace system similar to Common Lisp packages but
+ without :USE work in Emacs? Modern CL implementations have package
+ local nicknames to create package local prefixes.
+ - A: Basically, yes, but it has issues. \[rest will be copied from
+ stream later\...\] A naming convention would be much simpler to
+ get right.
+- Q: With Emacs 29 adding more (awesome) features into vanilla emacs,
+ how should we ensure vanilla emacs does not get bloated with many
+ similar features? (example : ido/icomplete, vc/magit)
+ - A:To some extent we can\'t, because users do things differently.
+ I have never used Magit because I didn\'t want to use anything
+ not part of Emacs. I was unable to get into contact with the
+ Magit developer regarding integration of it within Emacs. I do
+ not use git as my main vc system. I think when packages have
+ very different approaches about how to handle things (like vc
+ versus magit) their approaches are not redundant.
+- Q: What do you have in mind for more modular Emacs development?
+ - A: There is no specific feature, but a way of thinking about
+ modularity when you write each package because you\'ll find that
+ when interacting with other packages you\'ll identify hooks that
+ may be there or may be missing. You could add a fairly general
+ hook so that instead of a rigid connection to other parts of
+ emacs you could use a general purpose hook that could do a lot
+ of things including the thing you need it to do.
+- Q: Could you give a few examples of the medium-sized jobs necessary
+ for WYSIWYG-editor support in Emacs?
+ - A: I can\'t really, but I would appreciate it if people started
+ putting that together. If you look at LIbreOffice then you could
+ choose a subset of very important ones that will give everyone a
+ start. 
+- Q:Is there an up-do-date document where people can see what is and
+ isn\'t on the roadmap, and why? i.e. a live version of talks like
+ this or email threads on emacs-devel?
+ - A: Not that I\'m aware of.
+ - etc/TODO
+- Q: Should GNU (or someone else) define a safe-subset of HTML/CSS/JS
+ to make web browsers simpler and safer (e.g. by preventing JS from
+ contacting servers)?
+ - A: This would be an interesting thing to explore, but I don\'t
+ know if it can be done. Browser profiling is facilitated by
+ javascript. So, there is a collection of benchmarks and results
+ are different. So it allows the browser to gain information
+ without employing cookies. 
+- Q: How can we ensure the continuity of an understanding of the more
+ arcane parts of the \[Emacs\] source code, and increase their
+ evolvability, notably with regards to display, single-threading
+ limitations, etc.?
+ - A:  Single threading is a very specific thing. The furthest that
+ I\'ve bothered to think about it is to enable multiple LISP
+ programs to run in parallel. My machine doesn\'t allow me to run
+ multiple threads in a single program, so it never mattered to
+ me. Basically, dev of the displaycode without threads is more
+ feasible. However, changes in the buffer data structure would be
+ required and that will be the hard part. Representing a buffer
+ with a certain display needs to be worked out first. You have to
+ decide the data structure thinking about how display can handle
+ it efficiently. Think about that at that stage. The editing and
+ data structure is the part to figure out.
+- Q: Do you recommend reaching out in \[high\] schools for volunteers
+ instead of universities because they are more prone to value the
+ objectives of freedom?
+- Do you recommend reaching out in schools for volunteers for both
+ advocacy and for development instead of unversities because they are
+ more prone to value the objectives of freedom?
+ - A: Reaching out for what? To teach about freedom or to find more
+ developers? Can you elaborate? **Questioner**:  
+ - A: my entrypoint in school was LaTex. 
+- Q: There was an effort called guile-emacs a while back, and there
+ was some effort to get guile to be able to compile and run
+ emacs-lisp, you mentioned there were still some challenges related
+ to guile, what road blocks kept some of these other efforts from
+ being used with Emacs?
+ - A: We never finished the problem of reconciling guile-emacs data
+ types with Emacs Lisp data types (such as handling nil/\#f/()
+ interoperation \[and string/buffer handling\]).
+- Q: Are there any problems or disadvantages using the GNU AGPL for
+ non-networked software like Emacs packages?
+ - A: I figured the community would be happier if the radical
+ change did not happen in the license itself. 
+- Q: Is there a list of Emacs issues which can be solved by
+ programmers with different levels? For example my level is A, I know
+ basic elisp and C. How can i help?
+ - A: I don\'t know of one. I tend to think that people who know
+ only a basic knowledge. Looking at bugs and thinking about how
+ they could debug them, you could alert the developers. In the
+ process you\'ll learn more about how programs are written and
+ how to understand them. 
+- Q: What do you use emacs for beyond editing? Nice song :-)
+ - A: I use it for reading and writing email; this is what I do
+ most of the day.  (**Sings**) 
+ - \"I\'ve been answering my email,
+ - all the god-damned day / .. / \<transcriber lost the thread
+ about here \[lyrics available at
+ <https://stallman.org/doggerel.html#IveBeenAnsweringMyEmail>\]
+- Q:With features like org-mode and enriched-mode, it seems like Emacs
+ is getting closer to the goal of WSIWYG. Are there specific ways in
+ which you see these as falling short?
+- Q: Do you use Org/Org-mode, and if so to what extent?
+ - A: No. Originally, it was an outlining mode that I never tried
+ to use. The documentation was not easy for  nme to grasp because
+ I had no use for it. Then others developed other ways to use the
+ org syntax. I was not interested in using the org syntax. The
+ process was daunting. It was not easy to separate other modules
+ used with org mode. Org mode could become an advance\-- not
+ saying that it isn\'t useful\-- if extended to do it, we could
+ use a replacement for texinfo. Texinfo\'s syntax was arcane and
+ was based on TeX. It could become a better way to write GNU
+ manuals. Probably more people know that syntax and if it could
+ be extended then it could be a superior way to write the
+ manuals. But we need to be able to generate all of the outputs
+ that we can generate now. HTML, info files, info browsers like
+ the one inside emacs, and generating input to TeX. This is not a
+ gigantic job. It is two or three medium-sized jobs.  
+- Q:Emacs is used by a small population relative to the population
+ that could benefit from it.  Do you have any thoughts on how to
+ expand the user base more broadly even among software developers?
+ - A: No. Basically, the fact is that vscode has an advantage\--
+ which comes from Microsoft, which is putting it together as a
+ part of evil proprietary software\... Users don\'t understand
+ that issue. I wish I could come up with a way to show them
+ what\'s at stake and why.  The TEDX talk is the closest thing. 
+- Q: It's hard to pick up Emacs if you do not speak English, can
+ something be done to address that?
+ - A: What do you actually suggest? Manuals? Messages that Emacs
+ displays? Command names? The easiest thing would be to deal wiht
+ the messages. It\'s hard to adapt it to Emacs because there is
+ no fixed set of messages. It could be done. It\'s not a terribly
+ hard process. Maybe differrent command names or an alternative
+ to meta-x. If you typed this other thing, it would only complete
+ over the other names in the native language. Working out the
+ details would take a great deal of thought. Docstrings: you
+ could write another set of them and write a set of help
+ commands. 
+- Q: What was the thought process behind making emacs lisp dynamically
+ scoped when you first created it? What advantages did it provide
+ over the alternative?
+ - A: It was simple. I did know how to implement it to build a
+ simple and small Lisp interpreter and being small was crucial to
+ bootstrap it on the hardware of that time. Things have changed
+ though, these days Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping is an
+ obsolete statement
+- Q: In light of that critique of JavaScript not being about the
+ language per se but rather the \"culture of blindly getting and
+ running packages/libraries\", what\'s so different with what\'s
+ currently done by the vast majority of Emacs/Elisp users to just
+ install packages blindly?
+ - A: Well, they know they\'re installing a package and that makes
+ all the difference. People could post various versions of a
+ package that people can look at and identify which to use or
+ whether one of them has horrible bugs. With JS there is no way
+ to do this, and most of these programs are not free. You don\'t
+ know which programs are being installed on your browser. These
+ things don\'t happen with elisp packages \-- at least not when
+ they\'re in reputable package archives. 
+- Q: Do you think the freedom e.g., we have in Emacs, becomes a hurdle
+ for some people to pursue more important things in the world? I used
+ to do a lot of Emacs programming, but I recently try to stay away
+ from tinkering on Emacs.
+ - A: There may be more important things for you to do, but when
+ you look at all of the other distractions in the world it seems
+ unfair to criticize emacs. Look at video games which achieve
+ nothing but distraction. If you tinker with emacs code there is
+ a chance for you to discover something more important than how
+ to win a video game.
+ - Reply to Anwser: Sorry about the question. I do not intend
+ to criticize Emacs. It is more like a reflection on this
+ issue. The easiblity of jumping from anywhere in Emacs to
+ the source code, to the add-on packages, to the rich
+ documentation, to previous notes I have, becomes a strong
+ pulling force for me to do more important things. I often
+ found myself stay late in nights, and unable to have a good
+ sleep. Emacs gives me tremendous amount of freedom, I
+ definitely apprecitate it. On the other hand, I hate to stay
+ in non-free software, so I elimintate every possibility to
+ interact with them. This seems to be more effective to get
+ work done, since I only do the most important things, let it
+ go, and never thinking about the software. Don\'t get me
+ wrong, I agree with your point of view that the most
+ important thing GNU Emacs gives to the world is the freedom.
+ I  will do my part. 
+- Q: Do you still intend to merge your patch to the \"shorthands\"
+ feature to the master branch?
+ - A: Yes, but some work on the docstrings is blocking it. s.el
+ references other s.el functions in its docstrings and we\'ll
+ want to alter the docstrings, too. A new docstring construct
+ could fix that. We\'ve added a lot alrady, one more would be
+ fine.
+- Q: Question about software freedom: how does it apply to software
+ that are art/media experiences, like videogames? In your view, Is
+ the creator of a videogame obliged to release it under a free
+ license?
+ - A: 
+- Q: And how would technologies like webassembly fit in with the
+ javascript issues?
+ - A: They don\'t change much. If the licensing situation is
+ handled the same way as with regular JS using LibreJS-recognized
+ license notices and complies with its license \[like, by
+ providing its sources\], it would be fine.
+- Q: Have you seen Haketilo <https://haketilo.koszko.org/> It looks
+ kinda like librejs?
+ - A: Haketilo is design to allow people to get some of the benefit
+ of free software. Potentially it offers a solution to the
+ javascript problem, but it has a long way to go. If you want to
+ do this, please do so. 
+- Q: Is writing a free software replacement to Github Copilot with
+ proper license attribution a good idea? (like Mozilla Common Voice)
+ - A: Maybe but remember that copilot is not a program, it is a
+ service. It is a computation that someone else will do for you
+ when you ask. What are the practical problems with doing that?
+ Not sure. Of course the server operates by running programs, but
+ there is still a difference. People who use copilot don\'t get
+ any kind of copy of the program. They send it to the server. It
+ might be a good idea. 
+- Q: Do you have any suggestions for helping propective contributers
+ streamline the copyright assignment needed to contribute to Emacs
+ (and other FSF software projects)?  If working for a large
+ corporation, simply navigating the internal beaucracy to find the
+ correct person/people to talk to who even understands what you\'re
+ talking about without a \"deer in the headlights look\" can be very
+ difficult.  This problem of gaining copyright assignment seems to be
+ a signifcant problem and ultimately splits people into two different
+ classifications, those who can contribute directly to FSF projects
+ (willing and able) and those who can\'t (willing but unable).
+ - A: The copyright assignment does not take long. The important
+ thing is the employer disclaimer. If your job entails
+ programming, we want to make sure that your employer does not
+ say, \"you\'ve got no right to contribute that program\" and the
+ project is shafted. We are working on some simplifications to
+ make it easier for companies to say yes to it, but fundamentally
+ we need them to say yes. 
+- Q: What do you think of Hyperbole or EEV instead of org mode, or
+ other things for the stuff that org mode does \"second brain /
+ knowledge base\", or GTD \'getting things done\' etc\... among other
+ things in Emacs or other Emacs packages
+ - A: Well, I don\'t know that much about either of them. I don\'t
+ know EEV. I know Hyperbole, but it was many years ago. So I
+ can\'t have an educated opinion. Someone could study this, and
+ there would be a lot to study. If these are fairly similar\-- is
+ either actually part of emacs? A: \[Both are free software. \] 
+ - A: We might want to compare them to determine which is the best
+ possible add to emacs, but since I don\'t have specifics, I
+ don\'t want to state a priority preference. I don\'t have one. 
+- Q: I thought it was a virtue to separate the content from the style
+ or appearance of information. Part of being free is also to view
+ information in the format that you want. Does your WYSIWYG idea
+ erode this virtue and lead to more thinking \-- perhaps undue
+ thinking about style over substance?  {seems like more freedom for
+ authors and less freedom for readers} (No the question is more about
+ the experience of creation.)
+ - A: I don\'t know actually. I know that in LibreOffice you can
+ make named styles, and you can change styles\... Is that enough?
+ I am hardly a power user. 
+- Q: Do you ever dabble in retro-computing, e.g. logging into
+ TOPS10/20 systems SDF, etc?  
+ - A: No, I decided it\'s a waste of time. It\'s tinkering that
+ would not develop anything of any importance or use. And I know
+ if I\'m going to enjoy developing something\... I could enjoy
+ developing anything\... I decided not to distract my attention
+ from useful computing. 
+- Q: Do you know Gemini <https://gemini.circumlunar.space/> ? (a
+ network of very simplified Markdown-like text files without images
+ and third-party content transmitted via an open/public/free protocol
+ which is not http(s)) If so, what do you think of it? (I\'m dreaming
+ of a Gemini-web with interlinked Org mode syntax files)
+ - A: I don\'t remember and have no opinion. The lack of images
+ will turn out to be a considerable drawback. The exclusion of
+ images would be a big loss. 
+- Q: What is your opinion on the current state of large machine
+ learning/AI models? Even if the model is released under a free
+ license, it cannot be modified in a meaningful way without access to
+ vast quantities of training data, which isn\'t free. Even if it\'s
+ available, using the data requires datacenter-levels of computing
+ resources out of the reach of most users.
+ - A: I don\'t think that\'s true. You can modify it. You don\'t
+ need the previously used training data. The trained neural
+ network can be treated as source code. What else could it be? 
+- Q: Are there plans to bring modal editing (eg. evil-mode, viper) to
+ emacs core and did your opinion on modal editing change over the
+ years?
+ - A: I don\'t have a wish for that. Now it\'s not somehow morally
+ anathema. It\'s not a non-free program. How to incorporate this
+ into existing Emacs without doing any violence to its code is
+ the question. 
+- Q: Can complexity induced by company-funded free/libre code become a
+ problem, when the company pulls out, leaving the code potentially
+ unmaintainable?
+ - A: It's a matter of community, the same applies for software
+ developed by single individuals. Over-complicated programs
+ suffer more.
+- Q:  Hi Richard, do you know about \[GNU
+ TeXmacs\](<https://texmacs.org>)? If so, why doesn\'t it fit your
+ idea of a way to write rich documents with emacs-like keyboard-based
+ interfaces? (referring to \"something like layout capabilities of
+ TeX and the editing capabilities of Emacs).
+ - A:

+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Why is the time-stamp not implemented as an Org mode PROPERTIES
+ entry? (e,g, :CREATED:)
+ - A: Hyperbole pre-dates Org-Mode, although the maintainers have
+ made efforts to make Hyperbole compatible with Org-Mode as much
+ as possible. You could ask Bob Weiner directly, but it could
+ just be for backward compatibility, trying to keep the
+ formatting for current Hyperbole users. You could raise that as
+ an issue, they may be willing to include a config option
+ allowing you to specify the time-stamp format.
+- Q: why Hyperbole/HyRolo over Org-Roam? (I don\'t use either, just
+ curious)
+ - A: HyRolo and Hyperbole require no other software beyond code
+ builtin to Emacs.  For example, when I first built Org-Roam, it
+ did not work properly for me and I had to modify the build
+ process to get it set up.  With Hyperbole, you install one
+ package and you can start working.
+ - A: \^this, and I find it to be a lighter-weight solution. I was
+ able to get it working without depending on SQLite or doing any
+ indexing. Hyperbole is also a more general solution that can be
+ applied to a wider range of use cases than just Zettelkasten.
+- Q: How does this scale to very large data bases?
+ - A: It works very well with fairly large personal databases.  No
+ one has ever complained about performance.  Generally, people
+ are surprised how fast it is given that there is no separate
+ indexing in the background.
+ - A: I personally do not have a large database so I don\'t know
+ for sure. But it is basically as efficient as Grep is, and I
+ have used Grep on multiple-gigabyte files without noticing it
+ being too slow. Modern computers are fast enough that indexing
+ isn\'t required for reasonable performance on smaller databases.
+- Q: The demo displayed how to search occurances of certain keywords
+ in a giant single-document text database. But what about other open
+ (or not open) Emacs buffers? Think of IRC chars, emails, etc.
+ - A: Set the hyrolo-file-list variaable to include any directory
+ of files you want to search.
+ - I mostly referred to non-file buffers.
+ - Searching through (for example) an IRC buffer is a
+ different command than searching through a directory of
+ files, and this makes sense for the \"Rolodex\" use
+ case, since typically your database will be a file, and
+ not an in-memory buffer. But you can create a hyperlink
+ button that triggers an ordinary \"isearch\"-like
+ command the same way you would execute other Emacs
+ commands.

I am Vidianos Giannitsis, a 4th year chemical engineering student who loves to use Emacs. I have been using Emacs for about 2 and a half years and at this point it has become the most important part of my workflow. After seeing how awesome Emacs is, I was very inclined to learn elisp to truly customize Emacs to its limits. So I did, and at the start of 2022 I started working on a package of mine "zetteldesk.el". This package was inspired from "How to take smart notes" the well known zettelkasten book. I read something there and I was like, surely I can implement this in Emacs, can't I. And so I did.
I have watched EmacsConf for the last two years and I was interested in participating in it myself. Since I recently wrote a package of mine, I thought it was a good opportunity to make a talk of my own. So I made this talk about managing literature as it is something I believe I can deliver unique information and something I have worked on a lot recently.

+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q:Do you use fleeting notes as well? Do you keep them in org-roam?
+ - A:<https://github.com/Vidianos-Giannitsis/Dotfiles/blob/master/emacs/.emacs.d/libs/zettelkasten.org#fleeting-notes>
+ - To document the answer I gave live I am adding a small
+ description of it here. I do use fleeting-notes which I manage
+ with org-journal. I have a custom function
+ (org-roam-init-fleeting-note) in the link above which gives the
+ note an id (makes it an org-roam note), gives it a todo value
+ and links it to my Current Projects node. This way, the note is
+ inserted to my zettelkasten. But, when the TODO value becomes
+ DONE I have a hook that removes the ID. This is the method I use
+ for archiving fleeting notes when they are no longer needed. I
+ don\'t use org-roam-dailies as I am not aware of a way to
+ archive them that is this seamless.
+- Q:Does it work for PDFs only or can we use it for Word and Excel
+ files too? or epub, websites \"eww\" or videos like youtube?
+ - A:Leo says Org-noter does allow epub notes through an
+ extensions, and works with DocView for Office docs. Can also use
+ Pandoc
+- Q: I used to take notes on PDFs similarly in org-noter, but the
+ recent Zotero PDF reader is also very nice. Have you looked into
+ integrating the Zotero PDF reader with org-noter?
+ - A: While the program is nice the author dosn\'t use it becouse
+ it is not emacs nor have emacs bindings
+- Q:Great presentantion Vaidanos. Can you let us know your thoughts on
+ Zettlekasten\'s future?
+ - A: Zettelkasten has a great future because plaintext will never
+ go away
+ -        and orgmode is open source with a vibrant community.  Leo
+ adds: Zettelkasten popularity shot up big in 2020.
+- Q: Have you found a way to get a nice \"overview of multiple notes\"
+ to re-arrange them? Like physically putting many small notes on a
+ table and re-arranging them?
+ - A: Original goal of speaker\'s new package Zetteldesk.el is to
+ get notes
+ -        in a table and organize them. The idea is to use the
+ Zetteldesk as a scratch buffer. But making it graphical would be
+ hard.  (do check the 3rd demo of the talk if you haven\'t
+ already at 11:10 mins)
+ - A: The Koutliner in the GNU Hyperbole package can be used for
+ this where all notes would be organized, autonumbered and
+ automatically have a per-file unique hyperanchor ID.  You can
+ move notes/ideas around the same way you do in Org outlines. 
+ Besides collapsing and expanding trees of notes, you can also
+ clip the view to a particular number of lines per note for
+ overviews.  It supports Org tables too.
+- Q: Following up on the previous question, it seems difficult or
+ impossible to do with emacs rendering, but perhaps with similar
+ strategies as org-roam-ui one could get a Zooming User Interface for
+ manipulating the notes on a big canvas. This is a FOSS prototype:
+ <https://jermolene.com/cecily/> and this is a SaaS (proprietary)
+ one: <https://www.napkin.one/>. What are your thoughts on this? Do
+ you think it makes sense with your workflow?
+- Q: Can we use Zettlekasten for coding too? Especially when using
+ IDEs like Visual Studio and Excel?
+ - A: Not sure, speaker is not in coding beyond Emacs Lisp and
+ MATLAB. But he thinks it should be possible. Don\'t think it
+ breaks the principles of Zettelkasten, can make notes for
+ concepts. Leo confirms that note taking can be useful for
+ programming and problem solving. Leo says code could be good for
+ Zettelkasten \"atomizing\".
+ - Comment from Karl Voit: I\'m not using Zettelkasten myself but
+ when I code, I\'m heavily relying on my personal knowledge base
+ which also includes Python snippets and sources (in my case) as
+ I\'m not a frequent programmer. So I forget the most basic stuff
+ from one session to the next when there are weeks/months
+ in-between. In the same fashion, a knowledge-base realized with
+ a Zettelkasten is something that helps you here, producing
+ better code and remembering previous
+ patterns/tricks/sources/\...

+- <https://github.com/ahyatt/ekg>
+- <https://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole/man/hyperbole.html#Implicit-Buttons> -
+ discussed in the next talk could really help simplify access to your
+ triples and ekg primitives; have a look when you have time.
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q:  To what extent did Datomic influence the design of triples? 
+ <https://www.datomic.com/>
+ - A: I wasn\'t aware of Datomics, but I think both triples and
+ Datomics are influenced by RDF & trends in Knowledge Graph
+ construction in the industry.  I took a look at that page, and
+ one interesting thing they do is (AFAICT) store edits to the
+ database instead of actual values, allowing you to reconstruct
+ the database or go forward or backward in time.  This is very
+ interesting, and I\'m thinking of ways to make the database
+ safer, but not sure if I can get to such sophisticated
+ properties in this implementation. 
+- Q:built into Emacs? nice. multiple schemas (so to say
+ differentiation of \"databases\" (if you will so) are possible with
+ that built-in instance?
+ - A: Yes, with emacs 29. Full-featured with multiple databases,
+ transactions, etc.
+- Q:What about collaborative editing whith this? Multiple computers
+ with multiple emacs like crdt.el with org mode?
+ - A: Database are great for more async collaboration, multiple
+ people / processes can add to the repository at the same time. 
+ But I think it\'s not going to be a great solution for multiple
+ users modifying  the same buffer.
+- Q:What about using this on multiple computers? How would you
+ syncronize the data?  (This is a minor problem in org-roam where if
+ you share files between multiple computers, their SQLite databases
+ get out of sync and require M-x org-roam-db-sync to rebuild the
+ SQLite database.)
+ - A: This is an unsolved problem, one that I\'m interested in
+ looking into.  There possibly are standardized db solutions to
+ this, but I don\'t yet know what they are.
+- Q: With EKG what about views like org roam node mind map view? Or
+ org mode virtual view for integration with other org packages?
+ - A: This is possible, it just needs to interface with the
+ database in a different way.  It\'s all graphs, so really any
+ triple library might be a good fit for this.
+- Q:  Are you planning to further develop EKG? It is highly
+ interesting to me, I do prefer SQLite over text.
+ - A: Andrew is using it; not ready for general use but quite soon
+ \-- towards the end of  the month! Still in exploratory mode
+ though. Still thinking about (some of) the fundamental
+ concepts. 
+- Q: Is it then possible to combine the triples DB with some custom
+ tables in the same SQLite file? (e.g. to build a log table next to
+ the triples tables for quick query of event data)
+ - A: You could do that. AT the moment it\'s just one table
+ (triples). It\'s designed to be one table in one DB \-- beware
+ of consistency issues if you add further tables, which you can
+ definitely do.
+- Q: What are your thoughts on adding a timestamp attribute to triples
+ so that the DB becomes append-only and by default you return the
+ latest fact for a subject/object pair?
+ - Q+ -\> Use is to keep a record - you don´t delete? e.g. you get
+ all past addresses of a person or all past versions of a given
+ fact. Even version control for notes.
+ - A: I haven\'t thought of that / not seen in other triple stores
+ - A: Be ware that these DBs already take quite a bit of space
+ - A: may make synchronization easier
+- Q: can ordinary lisp data types (lists, symbols, etc) be stored in
+ the data base
+ - A: Yes, if you don\'t specify, it defaults to a list. Not sure
+ that was the right design choice; lists map to rows with a
+ hidden index column. emacs-sql and this also represent most
+ things as strings. 
+- Q: beyond note taking what kind of packages do you think would
+ benefit from triples library?
+ - A: Anything where you have lisp forms stored in a file would
+ probably be better implemented via a database.  And the triples
+ library makes this easy and standardized.  So, for example BBDB,
+ which is a \"database\" should actually be in a database.  And
+ then you might want to annotate, tag, etc, so having be in one
+ big database makes a lot of sense to me, because I think all
+ this kind of info wants to live together. 
+- Q: Are you trying to create a PIM with EKG?  What information do you
+ primarily want to manage?
+ - A: Yes, I think many uses of emacs is in line with PIM, and
+ those use-cases are a good fit for triples / ekg.  Notes,
+ people, projects, maybe even being able to integrate with org
+ and manage TODOs there as well.
+- Q: What about using other databases programs Postgres mongoDB etc..
+ \[see last q too, but I guess you refer to other relational, e.g.
+ Postgresql\]
+ - A: Those could work, maybe the triples library would work via
+ emacsql with those, but I haven\'t tested it.  I\'m not sure
+ what the benefit would be, typically these database tend to be
+ simple and small, so a more full-featured DB is probably
+ overkill.  MongoDB and those kinds of row-oriented databases
+ probably wouldn\'t be a good fit, but I haven\'t tried it.
+- Q: What is your preferred reference to understand triples/graph dbs?
+ (e.g. think better about schema design)
+ - A: I know from using them / talking about them. I will come back
+ with some references!
+- Q: Will it slow down with a growth of database?
+ - A: there is a tradeoff \-- triples gives you a standard schema,
+ but you lose the power of getting things in one SQL expression -
+ which makes it slow. But I have a bunch of data (2yrs of
+ org-roam usage) and it is still very fast. These limits exist,
+ but the usual rate of content creation is not large enough to
+ hit the limits.
+- Q: What are your thoughts on allowing for a \"true\" graph-db
+ backend? (whatever the current best free software alternative to
+ neo4j is, I guess). 
+ - A:  In my usage, the graph DBs tended to be slow and somewhat
+ clumsy in usage, we returned every time to SQL \[please reword
+ if appropriate\]. At the moment not a glaring need (for the
+ quantities of data people manage in Emacs).
+- Q: How hungry did you get while writing and recording this?
+ - A: I forgot that I used recipes as an example in my demo! 
+ org-roam / ekg and other things are a great way to cook better,
+ BTW.  When you make a recipe, write a org-roam daily (or in ekg,
+ an entry tagged with the date and the recipe) with notes about
+ how it went, what could be better, etc.  Then you can later see
+ the recipe and notes on it at once, which helps you further
+ refine the recipe.

+- Questions/comments related to EmacsConf 2022 as a whole?
+ <https://pad.emacsconf.org/2022>
+- Pre-recorded talks should already be up on the talk pages and at
+ <https://media.emacsconf.org> . We\'ll upload them to Toobnix and
+ YouTube as well in the coming weeks. (Some are already available.)
+ We\'ll also collect the recordings from the Q&A sessions and post
+ them. You can subscribe to the emacsconf-discuss mailing list
+ (<https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss>) for
+ updates.
+ - corwin - I\'ll jump in at this point
+- Love the conversations and the community? Here\'s how to keep going:
+ - Lots of meetups both online and in person:
+ <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups>
+ - Like the IRC conversations? There\'s an \#emacs channel,
+ \#org-mode, \#emacs-beginners on irc.libera.chat (put \#emacs in
+ the channel field on chat.emacsconf.org, or use an IRC client
+ (bandali maintains ERC =) ) )
+ - If you blog about EmacsConf or Emacs, please let me know at
+ sacha\@sachachua.com so I can include it in Emacs News
+ (<https://sachachua.com/emacs-news/>) . 
+ - <https://lobste.rs/t/emacs> , <https://reddit.com/r/emacs/> ,
+ <https://reddit.com/r/orgmode/>

+- Corwin - stop here
+- Flowy - starts here
+- Want to help out with EmacsConf? Please e-mail
+ emacsconf-org\@gnu.org or emacsconf-org-private\@gnu.org and we will
+ assimilate you. =) Volunteers get early access to the talks and end
+ up learning a lot about Emacs along the way. You don\'t need to be
+ very technical; all levels of experience, interest, and availability
+ welcome.
+ - Next up: copying the pads and extracting notes from IRC so that
+ they can be added to the wiki; adding chapter markers and
+ captions for Q&A; \...
+- Would be great if the webpage timestamps could be localized to the
+ web browser\'s local time.
+- Thanks
+ - Thank you to all the speakers, volunteers, and participants, and
+ to all the people in our lives who make this possible.
+ - This year\'s conference hosts are zaeph and bandali and our
+ streamer sachac (who did not go crazy managing two streams at
+ the same time, yay Org Mode and OBS in the cloud!)
+ - Flowy - stopping here
+ - Who next? ʕ ·ᴥ·ʔ?
+ - Maybe sachac?  It's about the captioneers!
+ - Thanks to our captioning volunteers: sachac, bhavin192, Tom
+ Purl, Hannah Miller, triko, and anush, and also to the speakers
+ who captioned their own talks. Thanks to quiliro for translating
+ the meetups talk into Spanish subtitles, which you can find on
+ the talk page. 
+ - Thanks to dto for describing things in \#emacsconf-accessible.
+ - Thanks to everyone who added notes and questions to the pad, and
+ especially to publicvoit and jrootabega.
+ - zaeph can take care of this from here
+ - Thanks to bhavin192 for last-minute reencoding and captioning,
+ and to his brother for lending us a beefy computer for
+ last-minute panicky reencodes.
+ - Thanks to Akshay Gaikwad for design contributions (notably the
+ next-talk slides)
+ - Thanks also to other volunteers: corwin, vetrivln, dto, jman,
+ FlowyCoder, and vetrivln who worked on all the other things that
+ are needed to make this happen.
+ - Thanks to Zen Monk Alain M. Lafon, Alex Mihov, Phil Hofmann, and

+ - Thanks to shoshin whose music you heard today
+ - Thanks to the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation for
+ Emacs and the mailing lists, and libera.chat for IRC community
+ support. 
+ - Thanks to Ry P for the server that we\'re using for OBS
+ streaming and for processing videos.
+ - Thanks so much to all the organizers and participants in
+ EmacsConf 2022! (All of you! =) You\'re all awesome.)
+- From chat:
+ -  \<edgarvincent\[m\]\> I\'d be very happy to help.
+ -  All right! Looking forward to hearing from you - please
+ e-mail us at emacsconf-org\@gnu.org
+ - \<minad\> Seriously, an emacsconf-mode would be great. I browsed
+ the website from eww, started vlc from eww, irced from Emacs.
+ The only thing missing was this etherpad.
+ - \<edgarvincent\[m\]\> Yes, it may sound a bit cheesy, but it is
+ nonetheless very  true: I think emacs conf does a great job of
+ bringing in very different people together and producing a great
+ feeling of togertherness.

+Questions and answers go here:\
+
+- Q: What did you use to make this? 
+ - All free/libre/open source tools:
+ - One private Org file with speaker/volunteer/talk info
+ - The talks were generally run using run-at-time,
+ org-after-todo-state-change-hook, and some TRAMP (by the
+ way, TRAMP does not like being run from timers at the
+ same time, so we shifted some talks =) )
+ - A public Org file for processes:
+ <https://emacsconf.org/2022/organizers-notebook>
+ - An ansible repo for configuration management:
+ <https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-ansible/>
+ - Lots of Emacs Lisp:
+ <https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-el/>
+ - TRAMP for writing files and running commands on remote
+ computers
+ - OBS for streaming, Icecast for sharing the stream with
+ viewers
+ - VNC for letting hosts and streamers connect to the same
+ display for OBS streaming
+ - screen for naming shell commands and making them easier to
+ resume and kill
+ - BigBlueButton for video Q&A
+ - Mumble for speaking on the stream as well as for backstage
+ communications
+ - ERC for Internet Relay Chat within Emacs, The Lounge for
+ web-based IRC
+ - Ikiwiki for the wiki (editing through git commits)
+ - Etherpad for collaborative note-taking
+ - ffmpeg for reencoding videos to free (patent-unencumbered)
+ formats and compressing them
+ - Captioning (<https://emacsconf.org/captioning>):
+ - OpenAI Whisper for computer-generated transcripts to be
+ reflowed and edited by captioning volunteers
+ - Some Emacs Lisp code to help with reflowing
+ (emacsconf-reflow, in
+ <https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-el/>)
+ - Aeneas (<https://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/>) for
+ synchronizing reflowed text with the audio files
+ - subed.el (<https://github.com/sachac/subed>) for editing
+ captions within Emacs (synchronizes with MPV)
+ - MPV for playing videos (config tips:
+ <https://emacsconf.org/mpv/>
+ <https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-ansible/tree/roles/obs/templates/mpv.conf>)
+- Q: How do you have multiple font sizes, countdowns and clocks in
+ fundamental mode?
+ - A:
+ <https://git.emacsconf.org/emacsconf-el/tree/emacsconf-stream.el>
+ : see emacsconf-stream-display-clock-and-countdown. You can
+ propertize a string with face attributes and then insert it.
+- Q:  \[what were the\] participation rates (\# of users) \[this
+ year\]?
+ - A:  High-water mark was around 350: 240 people on Gen and \~100
+ on Dev.  It\'s not clear how these metrics compare to prior
+ years because we ran two streams in parallel this year. (i.e. a
+ given person could be watching both streams at the same time.)
+- Q: 
+ - A:
+- Q: A great problem is having too many talks that we have split into
+ 2 tracks. What about having multiple conferences a year?
+ - A: Want to help organize another one? =)
+- Q: \"emacsconf-org.el\" to elpa/core? :)
+ - There\'s a repo, it\'s probably very idiosyncratic, happy to
+ chat with whoever\'s interested - sachac
+ - A:
+- Q: My streaming improved immensely once I implemented the mpv
+ solution. I could have benefited from a short \"how to\" beforehand
+ for the command line tool. 
+ - A: ooh, good point, we\'ll recommend that more next time
+- Q: Suggestion really\-- a few setup videos that orient people to the
+ tools and conventions for participation. would be better. I think
+ y\'all also need to load balance Leo\-- turn him into an MC and
+ allow someone to field and queue up questions.  That way Leo would
+ not be in a hurry to get back to the next presentation. He could
+ hand off the mic to someone who could facilitate.

+## Notes
+
+- 2020: 7000 participants in the survey (Adrien Brochard)
+- 2022: new survey framework: julia (language) + Genie Framework
+- 2022: 6600 responses (1000 partial); 115 nations; 96% male (better
+ among younger people)
+- the plots are using Makie, a Julia plotting library
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+- Q: Do Emacs developers take into account the survey results? I mean,
+ they are volunteers working on what they find useful/interesting for
+ them, which is of course great.
+ - A: There\'s no obligation for emacs-devel or Emacs package
+ maintainers to do anything in response to the survey results,
+ but hopefully the results will be able to inform development
+ choices they make.
+- Q: Is the survey software available in source code via
+ Gitlab/Github/\...? What\'s the license?
+ - A: Yep, it\'s GPL-3, and the source is availible at
+ <https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/emacs-survey>
+- Q: Are the raw results available so we can run some data analysis
+ ourselves?
+ - A: Indeed! As mentioned in the talk they\'re publically
+ availible in a number of formats, e.g.
+ - <https://emacssurvey.org/results/3425413930.csv>
+ - <https://emacssurvey.org/results/3425413930.json>
+ - <https://emacssurvey.org/results/3425413930.db>
+- Q: Any specific reason why you chose Julia as a language to code the
+ survey (curious about it)?
+ - A: I use it a lot, and like doing so :)
+- Q: Do you have any insight on the degree of selection bias (the
+ respondents may represent a very particular segment of the overall
+ users, in terms of motivation to respond). The nb of days of
+ response after announce may indicate that respondents are very much
+ in touch with emacs news.
+ - A: We can try to look at the degree to which the survey referrer
+ (r/emacs, HN, etc.) changes the survey results, but ultimately
+ this is a hard question. At the end of the day, the way I view
+ things is we can just do our best to investigate how much of an
+ effect is seen in the results, but this is the best shot we have
+ availible.
+ - A2: That said, we can compare a few particular statistics to
+ other surveys done in a wider population to gauge how close our
+ results are to them, but that assumes that those other surveys
+ (e.g. Stack Overflow\'s developer survey) are themselves
+ representative of the Emacs user base, itself can be quite an
+ assumption.
+- Q: Are the pies in gnuplot or something else?
+ - A: The plots are using Makie, a Julia plotting library.
+- Q: Thoughts on an emacs package to fill out the survey? Just more
+ work for you ;)
+ - A: Hopefully more work for someone else ;)
+- Q: Is the survey framework open sourced already or still in the
+ works?
+ - A: (replied above, IIUC) it\'s GPL-3 and the source is available
+ at <https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/emacs-survey>

+- Q: Can the folds be treated as outlines as in outline-minor-mode
+ folds?
+ - A: I don\'t think the package ts-fold which I showcased works

+ something like that

+- Q: Is there any benefit to use tree-sitter for sexp-based languages?
+ +1
+ - A: Being able to query for specific things like variables /
+ conditions might come in handy
+- Q:Do you have to have an LSP set up in order to use tree-sitter?
+ - A:I still use eglot for lsp. While tree-sitter help with
+ highlighting, folding, nav etc . . tree-sitter can be more
+ thought of to be working on a single file. So when I need to do
+ project wide things like jump to defenition, find reference or
+ renames lsp comes in handy.
+- Q: Is there any example configuration for the transition from
+ traditional major mode to new \*-ts-major-mode? It seems that
+ configuration of major mode (xxx-mode-hook, yasnippet, etc) has to
+ been rewritten
+ - A: I am just starting to work with builtin tree-sitter, so
