I'm not the only one + +00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.080 +doing this. + +00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.440 +I'm helped with many lovely people + +00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:18.720 +working on org-roam. + +00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:21.360 +I got started as a maintainer + +00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.360 +only this year, so that means that for + +00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.720 +the eight years I've been + +00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:27.360 +an Emacs user, seven of those years were + +00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.200 +spent merely being a user + +00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:31.040 +trying to be a sponge for knowledge, + +00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:33.920 +trying to learn as much as I could. + +00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:36.800 +I believe it would be + +00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.040 +interesting for me to share my story + +00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:40.959 +because I believe that I'm far from + +00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:42.160 +being the only user + +00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.599 +who can make the jump to being a + +00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.519 +maintainer. A lot of you have + +00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:46.879 +a lot of knowledge when it comes to + +00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.959 +Emacs. Some of you + +00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:51.040 +are at different steps in your journey. + +00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.720 +Some of you, for instance, are just + +00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:55.680 +starting to copy stuff out of + +00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.040 +StackExchange + +00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:59.519 +into your Emacs configuration. let's + +00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:00.720 +say you want to do something very + +00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:01.599 +particular + +00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.480 +and you haven't found a way to do so. + +00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:05.920 +You go on StackExchange. You find + +00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:06.640 +something + +00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.040 +that's interesting. You add it to your + +00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:10.239 +Emacs configuration. You + +00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:11.680 +barely understand anything that's going + +00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.519 +on. You know that it's supposed to be + +00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:14.800 +Emacs Lisp. + +00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.200 +"I hardly know Emacs and I + +00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:19.440 +know even less what is Lisp supposed to be." + +00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.440 +But you paste it in and it does what you + +00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:22.800 +want it to do, and you say + +00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.959 +"Great, I'll move on to my work now." So + +00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:29.280 +that's how I got started. I had + +00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.879 +a very spartan + +00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.440 +setup for Emacs, which a lot of you must + +00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:36.000 +know... The first time you launch Emacs, + +00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840 +you have this feeling that you're jumping 20 + +00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.599 +years back in time, as far as the + +00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.680 +user interface is concerned. But + +00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.959 +as you get to spend more time with Emacs... + +00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:49.120 +Some would call it Stockholm syndrome + +00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.959 +insofar as you can't see + +00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:53.360 +how spartan the entire thing is, but it + +00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.640 +actually is + +00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:58.400 +a lovely prison so to speak. + +00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.400 +That's how I got started eight years + +00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:01.680 +ago. I just wanted + +00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319 +to find a way to do my research properly. + +00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.519 +I wanted to have a + +00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:07.280 +tool that I could use to write my notes + +00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:08.959 +in plain text, because I was already + +00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:11.680 +fairly averse to + +00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.560 +Microsoft solutions when it + +00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.320 +came to taking notes. + +00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:19.359 +So yeah, I got started in emacs. I + +00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:20.880 +read a little bit about what plain text + +00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:23.040 +was about. Just to be clear, + +00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.000 +at the time, yes, I was very good with + +00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.120 +computers, + +00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.160 +but I was not a computer science student. + +00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.479 +I had barely any experience with + +00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:33.520 +programming + +00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:36.080 +and coding, and I was even less of a + +00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:36.800 +hacker + +00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.919 +back then. + +00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:42.560 +It just goes to show you that at the + +00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.479 +beginning, I had close to no knowledge, + +00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:45.840 +whether it be about + +00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:47.840 +the free software world, whether it be + +00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:48.880 +about... + +00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:50.800 +Sacha, do you want to say something? (Sacha: just + +00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.479 +confirming, you're not sharing anything + +00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:54.080 +on the screen at the moment, right?) + +00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:55.360 +No, I'm not sharing anything, I'm + +00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:55.759 +just + +00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.040 +presenting. + +00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.240 +So when I started, I had no + +00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:03.680 +experience whatsoever. + +00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.199 +I was just a literature major + +00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.039 +trying to get better at taking notes. + +00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:13.440 +I stumbled upon LaTeX. As many people + +00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:15.280 +who stumble upon LaTeX know, + +00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:17.039 +you don't just stumble upon + +00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.759 +LaTeX, you embroil yourself in the + +00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.199 +turmoil of + +00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.560 +suffering, of late nights tweaking, + +00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.440 +so that your document is exactly in the + +00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:33.440 +perfect shape you want it to be. + +00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:35.520 +Soon after, when I got started with Emacs + +00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:36.639 +and LaTeX, + +00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.400 +I discovered something that truly + +00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:40.560 +changed my life, and it was Org Mode. + +00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.479 +As you'll get a lot of presentations + +00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:46.960 +this afternoon about Org Mode, + +00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:49.360 +I won't be spending too much time on it. + +00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.479 +But Org Mode, + +00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:53.680 +for me, was a revelation. It's... + +00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.880 +There was something that, upon reading + +00:05:56.880 --> 00:05:59.039 +articles on how to use Org Mode, + +00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:02.080 +especially one of the key + +00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:04.160 +article that I'd read which really made + +00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.000 +a huge impact on me + +00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.199 +was the "Organize Your Life in Plain Text" one + +00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.720 +which i'm sure many of you must have + +00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.240 +stumbled upon + +00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.919 +in your Emacs journey... + +00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:18.720 +For me, when I stumbled upon + +00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.680 +this + +00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.840 +document, I was starting to get + +00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:23.440 +interested in Getting Things + +00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:24.240 +Done and + +00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.560 +all the nitty-gritty stuff about + +00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.199 +organization and self-organization. + +00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.919 +It just felt like everything was under + +00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:32.960 +my fingertips + +00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:36.960 +to make the perfect workflow. + +00:06:36.960 --> 00:06:40.880 +There was something incredibly + +00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:44.080 +satisfying about + +00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:46.319 +having a system that gave you so many + +00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.319 +options to configure your experience + +00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.160 +exactly how you wanted. + +00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.479 +You had this feeling that + +00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:57.199 +the people behind Org Mode had thought + +00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:57.599 +of everything, + +00:06:57.599 --> 00:07:00.479 +whichever small adjustment + +00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:02.000 +that you needed in workflow + +00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.800 +whether it be more states for your + +00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.440 +TODOs, + +00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:07.520 +whether it be, oh, I want my weeks to + +00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:09.360 +start on Monday and not on Saturday, + +00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.039 +oh, it's half past one and I need + +00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:13.520 +to... + +00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:15.280 +in the morning, I mean, and I need to make + +00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:17.680 +sure that the item that i'm marking as done + +00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.199 +is done for the day before and not for + +00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.919 +the current day.

I really + +00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.159 +wanted to have this + +00:22:58.159 --> 00:23:01.039 +verbose time with people, to be + +00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.600 +able to... + +00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:04.880 +it's a message that i've been trying + +00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.640 +to share with as many people as possible. + +00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.760 +In france we do have an Emacs workshop + +00:23:11.760 --> 00:23:14.159 +that we have on a monthly basis. + +00:23:14.159 --> 00:23:16.000 +I've been learning a lot + +00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.960 +with those people and I felt like + +00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.400 +doing the same with Emacs conference + +00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.480 +would be good. That's why i'm really + +00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.000 +happy, and I'm really lucky to have had + +00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.120 +the chance to + +00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:27.919 +do this today.

Thank you so much, Leo. + +00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:41.279 +I happen to completely agree + +00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:43.600 +with your not necessarily using a slide + +00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:45.600 +when it's not really needed + +00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:49.200 +and to help give some face-to-face time + +00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.840 +with the audience. Unfortunately + +00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:53.520 +your webcam cut out, but I mean + +00:23:53.520 --> 00:23:55.200 +before that.) + +00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.279 +Yes, I'll make sure to fix the problems + +00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.679 +later on, so don't worry about it. + +00:23:59.679 --> 00:24:02.240 +(Amin: Awesome.

+ +0:00:04.480,0:00:07.919 +this is my talk titled bard beavermax + +0:00:07.279,0:00:10.719 +publishing + +0:00:07.919,0:00:12.799 +music with emacs i'm a software + +0:00:10.719,0:00:14.400 +developer with unabridged software in + +0:00:12.799,0:00:16.800 +lincoln nebraska + +0:00:14.400,0:00:18.720 +long time emacs user relatively new + +0:00:16.800,0:00:20.480 +emacs hacker + +0:00:18.720,0:00:22.960 +and uh hopefully i'll be able to show + +0:00:20.480,0:00:30.480 +you my workflow with + +0:00:22.960,0:00:33.440 +how i publish music with emacs + +0:00:30.480,0:00:35.520 +all right so as a musician i would like + +0:00:33.440,0:00:37.200 +to publish my music online + +0:00:35.520,0:00:39.040 +you know i could publish with popular + +0:00:37.200,0:00:42.000 +online music services + +0:00:39.040,0:00:44.719 +but i'm more of a diy type so i chose to + +0:00:42.000,0:00:48.160 +go ahead and publish with emacs + +0:00:44.719,0:00:49.760 +so what's the motivation behind this + +0:00:48.160,0:00:51.600 +a lot of it comes down to some + +0:00:49.760,0:00:54.960 +fundamental freedoms + +0:00:51.600,0:00:57.920 +that you know emacs gnu software + +0:00:54.960,0:00:59.120 +kind of represent to me as well as kind + +0:00:57.920,0:01:01.840 +of my + +0:00:59.120,0:01:03.680 +ideas on culture and my background i + +0:01:01.840,0:01:04.080 +don't believe that music is a consumer + +0:01:03.680,0:01:06.080 +good + +0:01:04.080,0:01:08.320 +um it's a form of knowledge like an + +0:01:06.080,0:01:10.479 +algorithm + +0:01:08.320,0:01:13.119 +and it's just like such a part of + +0:01:10.479,0:01:16.640 +culture like in tribal cultures music + +0:01:13.119,0:01:18.000 +was seen as a gift from the cosmos or + +0:01:16.640,0:01:19.920 +the gods and it was + +0:01:18.000,0:01:21.920 +a gift maybe through an individual + +0:01:19.920,0:01:23.520 +vessel but was shared with the people + +0:01:21.920,0:01:26.799 +and shared with everyone + +0:01:23.520,0:01:29.840 +kept alive by the culture itself + +0:01:26.799,0:01:31.520 +and so to me music is something that + +0:01:29.840,0:01:34.640 +should be shared and should be + +0:01:31.520,0:01:36.560 +freely enjoyed by everyone of course + +0:01:34.640,0:01:39.040 +artists should be compensated as well + +0:01:36.560,0:01:41.040 +but that's a whole different topic + +0:01:39.040,0:01:42.720 +and so when i want to share my music i + +0:01:41.040,0:01:43.520 +want to do it without impacting anyone's + +0:01:42.720,0:01:45.680 +freedom + +0:01:43.520,0:01:48.960 +using gnu software like emacs is a good + +0:01:45.680,0:01:48.960 +way that i can ensure that + +0:01:49.200,0:01:55.840 +i won't be requiring people to + +0:01:52.840,0:01:57.119 +uh sign away their freedoms for anything + +0:01:55.840,0:01:58.799 +there's a lot more i could say about + +0:01:57.119,0:02:00.960 +this but i don't have time + +0:01:58.799,0:02:03.439 +feel free to reach out to me by email or + +0:02:00.960,0:02:06.479 +irc + +0:02:03.439,0:02:08.239 +um and part of the motivation for me + +0:02:06.479,0:02:10.720 +personally is that emacs is super + +0:02:08.239,0:02:12.720 +magical it's an all-in-one solution + +0:02:10.720,0:02:14.480 +like i said the gnu software aligns with + +0:02:12.720,0:02:16.800 +creative commons ideas + +0:02:14.480,0:02:18.879 +i can do file management i can author + +0:02:16.800,0:02:20.239 +html all the web stuff i need even + +0:02:18.879,0:02:22.640 +illiterate style + +0:02:20.239,0:02:24.640 +i can handle media and metadata i've got + +0:02:22.640,0:02:26.800 +version control remote server access + +0:02:24.640,0:02:28.080 +all the tools i need are right under my + +0:02:26.800,0:02:30.000 +fingertips with this + +0:02:28.080,0:02:31.440 +tool that i use every day for a long + +0:02:30.000,0:02:34.319 +time i don't need to look + +0:02:31.440,0:02:36.319 +elsewhere and it was a challenge i + +0:02:34.319,0:02:39.440 +wanted to see if i could do this + +0:02:36.319,0:02:41.680 +all within emacs itself so + +0:02:39.440,0:02:43.440 +how do you use emacs to publish music + +0:02:41.680,0:02:45.120 +well for me i needed + +0:02:43.440,0:02:46.480 +a couple of things i needed to be able + +0:02:45.120,0:02:48.319 +to audition unlabel + +0:02:46.480,0:02:50.000 +unlabeled audio tracks i have a lot of + +0:02:48.319,0:02:51.280 +files that i don't know where they + +0:02:50.000,0:02:53.840 +came from i don't know what they are i + +0:02:51.280,0:02:56.800 +need to be able to listen to them + +0:02:53.840,0:02:58.480 +and i need to be able to add metadata to + +0:02:56.800,0:03:00.800 +whatever audio format it is + +0:02:58.480,0:03:03.200 +and rename the files based on that + +0:03:00.800,0:03:05.120 +metadata potentially + +0:03:03.200,0:03:07.040 +and in the end i wanted to take those + +0:03:05.120,0:03:08.319 +files and programmatically produce a web + +0:03:07.040,0:03:11.920 +page + +0:03:08.319,0:03:14.159 +for people to consume i found out that + +0:03:11.920,0:03:14.879 +emacs scores a hundred percent on all of + +0:03:14.159,0:03:18.000 +these + +0:03:14.879,0:03:20.720 +requirements that i had for this and + +0:03:18.000,0:03:22.640 +a lot of that came from emms the emacs + +0:03:20.720,0:03:26.080 +multimedia system + +0:03:22.640,0:03:27.760 +um emms is is great um + +0:03:26.080,0:03:30.000 +if you haven't checked it out please do + +0:03:27.760,0:03:32.959 +it's a little bit unintuitive but + +0:03:30.000,0:03:34.000 +once you get into it you know it works + +0:03:32.959,0:03:36.640 +um + +0:03:34.000,0:03:38.720 +and basically what emms gave me was the + +0:03:36.640,0:03:39.680 +ability to listen to the tracks organize + +0:03:38.720,0:03:41.280 +playlists + +0:03:39.680,0:03:42.959 +and on top of that it gave me super + +0:03:41.280,0:03:45.040 +powered metadata authoring + +0:03:42.959,0:03:47.200 +and i'm going to demonstrate that to you + +0:03:45.040,0:03:50.879 +so in order to do this + +0:03:47.200,0:03:54.879 +you have to require markable playlists + +0:03:50.879,0:03:58.720 +so require ems mark and so i'm going to + +0:03:54.879,0:03:58.720 +go through and i'm going to open the red + +0:03:59.680,0:04:04.480 +i've got this this these files here so + +0:04:02.319,0:04:06.080 +you can see these files are mp3s + +0:04:04.480,0:04:07.599 +um they're recorded on a digital + +0:04:06.080,0:04:09.920 +recorder + +0:04:07.599,0:04:11.760 +um if i had the choice i would have a + +0:04:09.920,0:04:12.319 +recorder that used a different format + +0:04:11.760,0:04:14.640 +but + +0:04:12.319,0:04:16.160 +so be it so i can mark all these files + +0:04:14.640,0:04:20.000 +and i can do ems + +0:04:16.160,0:04:22.880 +add to red and now they've been loaded + +0:04:20.000,0:04:22.880 +into a playlist + +0:04:27.040,0:04:30.400 +so you can see the playlist here there's + +0:04:29.040,0:04:32.000 +some leftover files + +0:04:30.400,0:04:33.759 +so i've got these three files in my + +0:04:32.000,0:04:34.639 +playlist and as you can see it's just + +0:04:33.759,0:04:36.800 +the file name + +0:04:34.639,0:04:38.560 +the path i don't have any metadata + +0:04:36.800,0:04:41.360 +associated with them + +0:04:38.560,0:04:43.440 +in this playlist i can hit e capital e + +0:04:41.360,0:04:47.360 +and it'll bring up a buffer showing + +0:04:43.440,0:04:49.840 +um the tag information that i have + +0:04:47.360,0:04:51.520 +and so i could edit these here and i + +0:04:49.840,0:04:53.919 +could edit them one at a time but that's + +0:04:51.520,0:04:57.440 +not really great i want superpower + +0:04:53.919,0:05:00.320 +metadata authoring so + +0:04:57.440,0:05:00.320 +by marking them + +0:05:04.479,0:05:08.479 +by marking them i can then hit e and i + +0:05:07.680,0:05:10.479 +have + +0:05:08.479,0:05:12.639 +all three of the tracks loaded up in + +0:05:10.479,0:05:15.759 +this tags buffer + +0:05:12.639,0:05:18.800 +on top of that i can do emms + +0:05:15.759,0:05:22.840 +tag editor set all ctrl c control + +0:05:18.800,0:05:25.680 +r and i want to set the artist + +0:05:22.840,0:05:26.320 +so these are some recordings of my + +0:05:25.680,0:05:31.039 +family + +0:05:26.320,0:05:35.600 +so shangri-lux set all three of them + +0:05:31.039,0:05:40.160 +i want to set the album um + +0:05:35.600,0:05:43.600 +spring walk with lap harp + +0:05:40.160,0:05:43.600 +and i want to set the year + +0:05:45.520,0:05:50.840 +and then i'm going to go ahead and put + +0:05:48.960,0:05:53.759 +these in + +0:05:50.840,0:05:55.840 +manually + +0:05:53.759,0:05:57.039 +but with the power of emacs keyboard + +0:05:55.840,0:05:59.600 +macros and + +0:05:57.039,0:06:02.319 +registers and so on i could do this + +0:05:59.600,0:06:04.000 +programmatically as well + +0:06:02.319,0:06:06.000 +which would make it a lot easier if i + +0:06:04.000,0:06:07.440 +hadn't met much more than three files to + +0:06:06.000,0:06:09.919 +do this with + +0:06:07.440,0:06:11.520 +submit the changes with ctrl c ctrl c + +0:06:09.919,0:06:13.120 +and now we've got the playlist you can + +0:06:11.520,0:06:15.039 +see the artist and track number have + +0:06:13.120,0:06:17.360 +been updated here + +0:06:15.039,0:06:19.039 +and then the final piece of this is that + +0:06:17.360,0:06:20.479 +if you look at this you can see that the + +0:06:19.039,0:06:22.639 +file name is still the same + +0:06:20.479,0:06:24.560 +so if i were looking to the directory i + +0:06:22.639,0:06:26.479 +would still have this file name + +0:06:24.560,0:06:28.000 +when packaging these up for a release + +0:06:26.479,0:06:30.319 +for people to download + +0:06:28.000,0:06:32.400 +it's nice to be able to have that file + +0:06:30.319,0:06:34.800 +name reflect the track number and the + +0:06:32.400,0:06:35.680 +artist and so on so there's another + +0:06:34.800,0:06:38.240 +command + +0:06:35.680,0:06:38.240 +mms + +0:06:41.199,0:06:45.120 +rename tag editor rename so it could be + +0:06:44.160,0:06:47.199 +just capital r + +0:06:45.120,0:06:48.880 +i think i need to mark all of these hit + +0:06:47.199,0:06:50.000 +capital r and then it's going to ask me + +0:06:48.880,0:06:53.599 +to confirm + +0:06:50.000,0:06:53.599 +and say yes to all of them + +0:06:54.400,0:07:04.319 +and now if you look in the dread + +0:07:02.720,0:07:06.319 +whoops i have to update it you'll see + +0:07:04.319,0:07:09.840 +it's been updated with the artist + +0:07:06.319,0:07:11.120 +the name track and track number and + +0:07:09.840,0:07:14.639 +track name + +0:07:11.120,0:07:17.360 +um so this format is a format string so + +0:07:14.639,0:07:20.479 +it's customizable of course + +0:07:17.360,0:07:21.039 +i just decided to go with the default so + +0:07:20.479,0:07:24.160 +that's + +0:07:21.039,0:07:26.000 +pretty great this workflow + +0:07:24.160,0:07:28.080 +just with emms i didn't have to do + +0:07:26.000,0:07:30.960 +anything this is all there it's all + +0:07:28.080,0:07:32.639 +all built in um it gave me exactly what + +0:07:30.960,0:07:35.599 +i was looking for in terms of being able + +0:07:32.639,0:07:37.599 +to process a lot of raw audio files + +0:07:35.599,0:07:39.280 +add metadata to them and get them ready + +0:07:37.599,0:07:41.599 +for publishing + +0:07:39.280,0:07:43.520 +and this is for publishing for playback + +0:07:41.599,0:07:44.879 +in any media player it'll it'll be + +0:07:43.520,0:07:46.560 +useful + +0:07:44.879,0:07:48.479 +not just for the web page that i'm + +0:07:46.560,0:07:50.560 +building so the + +0:07:48.479,0:07:53.440 +final part of course is um to build the + +0:07:50.560,0:07:54.960 +web page and emacs makes authoring html + +0:07:53.440,0:07:57.440 +trivial + +0:07:54.960,0:07:59.039 +like as i was going through this i + +0:07:57.440,0:08:00.400 +wanted to challenge myself and just be + +0:07:59.039,0:08:03.120 +like can i do this with all + +0:08:00.400,0:08:03.520 +just all with emacs like can i just make + +0:08:03.120,0:08:05.440 +this + +0:08:03.520,0:08:07.039 +i don't need a i don't need ruby i don't + +0:08:05.440,0:08:08.960 +need rails i don't need node i don't + +0:08:07.039,0:08:10.560 +need any of this other stuff i have my + +0:08:08.960,0:08:12.560 +tool right here it's a fully + +0:08:10.560,0:08:15.039 +it's a whole operating system basically + +0:08:12.560,0:08:17.360 +plus programming languages + +0:08:15.039,0:08:19.919 +so the first thing i started with was + +0:08:17.360,0:08:22.560 +buffer scripting for manipulating text + +0:08:19.919,0:08:24.319 +that's kind of the easiest way to do it + +0:08:22.560,0:08:25.280 +and basically anything you can do in a + +0:08:24.319,0:08:28.479 +buffer you can do + +0:08:25.280,0:08:30.319 +programmatically with e-lisp so this + +0:08:28.479,0:08:33.919 +might be a good example for beginners if + +0:08:30.319,0:08:36.000 +you haven't done any e-lisp yet + +0:08:33.919,0:08:36.959 +like a simple example is to create this + +0:08:36.000,0:08:40.000 +this div + +0:08:36.959,0:08:41.760 +output here i can you + +0:08:40.000,0:08:44.240 +can use this with temp buffer so + +0:08:41.760,0:08:46.640 +basically creating an imaginary buffer + +0:08:44.240,0:08:48.800 +insert is just like typing so you put + +0:08:46.640,0:08:50.959 +strings in you put new lines in + +0:08:48.800,0:08:52.080 +can cap build some strings together and + +0:08:50.959,0:08:54.000 +here you can see i'm + +0:08:52.080,0:08:55.360 +i'm doing a random number so every time + +0:08:54.000,0:08:57.920 +i execute this + +0:08:55.360,0:09:01.040 +my content changes so i can generate + +0:08:57.920,0:09:04.399 +dynamic content in html blocks + +0:09:01.040,0:09:05.920 +with e-lisp for my + +0:09:04.399,0:09:08.000 +web page builder it's a little more + +0:09:05.920,0:09:12.080 +complex i'm pulling data out + +0:09:08.000,0:09:15.440 +using emms data structures + +0:09:12.080,0:09:16.080 +so it's pulling that out from the track + +0:09:15.440,0:09:18.720 +data + +0:09:16.080,0:09:19.440 +and then i'm i'm using some program + +0:09:18.720,0:09:21.440 +program to + +0:09:19.440,0:09:23.200 +generate list elements so each track is + +0:09:21.440,0:09:25.120 +going to have the title + +0:09:23.200,0:09:26.959 +and track number and then a button for + +0:09:25.120,0:09:29.519 +playing it plus the source + +0:09:26.959,0:09:30.480 +of the audio file which will get added + +0:09:29.519,0:09:32.640 +here + +0:09:30.480,0:09:34.839 +right now this is hard coded for opus so + +0:09:32.640,0:09:37.200 +it won't work for my + +0:09:34.839,0:09:39.120 +mp3s um + +0:09:37.200,0:09:41.200 +i'm going to skip over snippets turns + +0:09:39.120,0:09:45.519 +out format strings were good enough + +0:09:41.200,0:09:48.160 +for me um snippets could be useful but + +0:09:45.519,0:09:49.839 +format is super powerful and i didn't + +0:09:48.160,0:09:51.279 +really even need all that much power + +0:09:49.839,0:09:53.519 +basically just doing string + +0:09:51.279,0:09:54.560 +interpolation so if you haven't seen + +0:09:53.519,0:09:56.720 +format before + +0:09:54.560,0:09:59.120 +you basically put these control strings + +0:09:56.720,0:10:03.120 +or control characters inside of a string + +0:09:59.120,0:10:05.040 +and you can generate you can generate an + +0:10:03.120,0:10:07.600 +output string that you want + +0:10:05.040,0:10:08.720 +so in my generator code basically it's + +0:10:07.600,0:10:10.959 +down here + +0:10:08.720,0:10:12.800 +um i'm calling format with this sparred + +0:10:10.959,0:10:15.920 +vivomax template + +0:10:12.800,0:10:18.240 +and that's basically a big + +0:10:15.920,0:10:20.399 +a big string of html it's just each you + +0:10:18.240,0:10:21.200 +know my whole page of html with a couple + +0:10:20.399,0:10:22.959 +places + +0:10:21.200,0:10:24.399 +with those control characters in just + +0:10:22.959,0:10:26.399 +four places + +0:10:24.399,0:10:29.760 +and one of them populates the track list + +0:10:26.399,0:10:32.079 +that's really the meat of the program + +0:10:29.760,0:10:33.440 +and again this is a combination of using + +0:10:32.079,0:10:36.640 +buffer scripting + +0:10:33.440,0:10:37.279 +using html mode inserting text format + +0:10:36.640,0:10:40.000 +strings + +0:10:37.279,0:10:41.920 +and then i can indent region so the html + +0:10:40.000,0:10:45.200 +actually looks pretty + +0:10:41.920,0:10:50.160 +when it comes out of it as well + +0:10:45.200,0:10:52.560 +um i will show that just really quick + +0:10:50.160,0:10:52.560 +actually + +0:10:54.000,0:10:58.800 +so you can see this is the html that got + +0:10:56.880,0:11:02.560 +generated i've got my template + +0:10:58.800,0:11:05.760 +i inserted the title here the style the + +0:11:02.560,0:11:07.920 +font was all inserted + +0:11:05.760,0:11:11.200 +and then this whole list of of tracks + +0:11:07.920,0:11:14.399 +here it's kind of messy to look at + +0:11:11.200,0:11:15.920 +but this track list this whole div here + +0:11:14.399,0:11:18.560 +is all generated by + +0:11:15.920,0:11:20.800 +my generator code and it works it's + +0:11:18.560,0:11:20.800 +great + +0:11:22.480,0:11:26.160 +okay moving on + +0:11:27.120,0:11:32.079 +um so the other thing was that as i was + +0:11:30.240,0:11:33.200 +developing this i decided to use ort + +0:11:32.079,0:11:35.360 +babel and some of his + +0:11:33.200,0:11:36.880 +its features um for multi-language + +0:11:35.360,0:11:37.839 +things because i needed to style it with + +0:11:36.880,0:11:40.480 +css and + +0:11:37.839,0:11:42.480 +and put actions in javascript and also i + +0:11:40.480,0:11:45.519 +used svg for authoring stuff + +0:11:42.480,0:11:46.079 +um and it was a little bit complicated i + +0:11:45.519,0:11:47.680 +probably + +0:11:46.079,0:11:49.600 +probably would have been simpler had i + +0:11:47.680,0:11:51.440 +not used org babble but it's also really + +0:11:49.600,0:11:53.839 +fun and it's i think it's a cool + +0:11:51.440,0:11:55.839 +cool idea to use literate programming my + +0:11:53.839,0:11:57.600 +idea was to create kind of like html + +0:11:55.839,0:11:59.519 +components like i could name it like + +0:11:57.600,0:12:01.440 +this + +0:11:59.519,0:12:02.800 +put a format string inside it and build + +0:12:01.440,0:12:05.519 +a function + +0:12:02.800,0:12:07.120 +in e-lisp to format it and spit out the + +0:12:05.519,0:12:10.320 +html that i want + +0:12:07.120,0:12:12.880 +and by doing this then i can like uh + +0:12:10.320,0:12:14.320 +just change things in my org file which + +0:12:12.880,0:12:16.959 +not getting a whole lot of time to work + +0:12:14.320,0:12:19.839 +on it i can come back to it and + +0:12:16.959,0:12:21.920 +i have a lot of notes and i can i can + +0:12:19.839,0:12:24.399 +kind of generate things as i'm going and + +0:12:21.920,0:12:25.600 +keep notes for myself and keep the + +0:12:24.399,0:12:27.519 +i don't know it's cool literate + +0:12:25.600,0:12:29.279 +programming is fun um so i don't need to + +0:12:27.519,0:12:31.040 +go into that too much but you can see if + +0:12:29.279,0:12:33.360 +i execute this here + +0:12:31.040,0:12:34.880 +i get the the div that i want um it's a + +0:12:33.360,0:12:36.480 +little bit funny you'll see i have the + +0:12:34.880,0:12:39.200 +string like this the way that + +0:12:36.480,0:12:40.000 +no web expands i can't do this on a + +0:12:39.200,0:12:43.839 +single line + +0:12:40.000,0:12:45.440 +it it it looks funny when you do that + +0:12:43.839,0:12:48.560 +so that might be something to work out + +0:12:45.440,0:12:48.959 +later css blocks can either be tangled + +0:12:48.560,0:12:51.680 +out + +0:12:48.959,0:12:52.639 +and referenced in the html source or + +0:12:51.680,0:12:54.639 +inlined + +0:12:52.639,0:12:56.959 +here's an example i have of inlining it + +0:12:54.639,0:13:00.320 +so i've got my little css block name + +0:12:56.959,0:13:03.040 +style javascript name script + +0:13:00.320,0:13:04.839 +and then i've got this html source block + +0:13:03.040,0:13:07.519 +with no web + +0:13:04.839,0:13:07.920 +expansion um these double angle brackets + +0:13:07.519,0:13:09.839 +here + +0:13:07.920,0:13:11.680 +are where i'm going to expand the block + +0:13:09.839,0:13:12.639 +name style i'm actually calling a + +0:13:11.680,0:13:14.399 +function + +0:13:12.639,0:13:17.040 +so i want the result of the function + +0:13:14.399,0:13:20.560 +here and then the script will just get + +0:13:17.040,0:13:22.959 +expanded here so or babel expand source + +0:13:20.560,0:13:25.360 +block + +0:13:22.959,0:13:28.160 +you can see what it looks like you know + +0:13:25.360,0:13:29.920 +i've got my style here i've got my title + +0:13:28.160,0:13:31.279 +i've got that main content class i + +0:13:29.920,0:13:33.040 +showed before + +0:13:31.279,0:13:34.480 +and the script as well so that's kind of + +0:13:33.040,0:13:36.320 +cool like + +0:13:34.480,0:13:38.160 +i could just run org babel tangle and + +0:13:36.320,0:13:40.480 +get my thing out and just + +0:13:38.160,0:13:41.600 +edit one file instead of multiple files + +0:13:40.480,0:13:45.120 +not for everyone + +0:13:41.600,0:13:45.120 +but i i thought it was kind of fun + +0:13:45.839,0:13:49.199 +all right oh and the final thing is that + +0:13:47.760,0:13:52.880 +in emacs you can + +0:13:49.199,0:13:57.199 +author and view svg so this is just an + +0:13:52.880,0:13:59.519 +org um this svg i used to make the play + +0:13:57.199,0:14:02.800 +and pause buttons but i didn't know this + +0:13:59.519,0:14:04.959 +but if you edit an svg file you can + +0:14:02.800,0:14:07.360 +toggle back and forth + +0:14:04.959,0:14:07.360 +between + +0:14:08.800,0:14:13.120 +between the code and the and the image + +0:14:13.199,0:14:17.360 +it's pretty sweet so i can kind of + +0:14:16.160,0:14:19.680 +iteratively work + +0:14:17.360,0:14:20.560 +work through this because of of how + +0:14:19.680,0:14:24.480 +emacs is + +0:14:20.560,0:14:24.959 +like that so um final considerations + +0:14:24.480,0:14:27.360 +here + +0:14:24.959,0:14:29.279 +like when doing this i want it to be all + +0:14:27.360,0:14:30.079 +free so i want to use fonts that use a + +0:14:29.279,0:14:32.800 +free license + +0:14:30.079,0:14:34.800 +i found gnu unifont it's kind of cool + +0:14:32.800,0:14:37.600 +the content license i chose + +0:14:34.800,0:14:39.920 +creative commons attribution share like + +0:14:37.600,0:14:42.880 +which is kind of like the gpl + +0:14:39.920,0:14:44.800 +ideally i could serve it with emacs i'd + +0:14:42.880,0:14:46.320 +like to remove idiosyncrasy so other + +0:14:44.800,0:14:48.720 +people can use it + +0:14:46.320,0:14:51.040 +it's pretty much just my tool right now + +0:14:48.720,0:14:51.440 +um not requiring the web browser i can +

First of all, thanks and a huge + +00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.360 +welcome to the conference + +00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:18.400 +from me and + +00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:22.400 +and on behalf + +00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.720 +and back to the other people that + +00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.080 +have been helping to organize. + +00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.480 +It's been amazing just to be involved + +00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.480 +with that and just, kind of, see + +00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:36.399 +backstage. + +00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.680 +So I've used a lot of different editors + +00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:42.960 +in my time. That's + +00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.440 +about 25 years as a professional + +00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:52.399 +software engineer. + +00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:53.920 +And most of that time I've been using + +00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.160 +Emacs. I'll talk a little bit in a minute + +00:00:56.160 --> 00:01:00.960 +(if I can ever find my slides) + +00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.479 +about how I got into Emacs + +00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:07.200 +but I think if you've used Emacs and a + +00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.240 +lot of other editors for a long time, + +00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:15.200 +something that you notice right away is that + +00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.520 +you get good with it in a way that stays + +00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:18.560 +meaningful. + +00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.799 +You learn new things. Those things + +00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:27.600 +stick with you. You learn how to + +00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:30.720 +make it do new tricks and then + +00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.759 +keep doing those tricks. + +00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.799 +I want to mention that this + +00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.439 +conference--oops, + +00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.439 +this talk isn't about + +00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.600 +how to adjust your + +00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.520 +configuration specifically. I don't have + +00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:50.000 +a bunch of good code samples in here. + +00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.520 +There are other great talks at the + +00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.399 +conference, particularly Andrew's, + +00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:57.600 +that I looked at, that looked + +00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:59.920 +like they might be more aimed at that + +00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.240 +"hey, I'm just getting started with Emacs, + +00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:05.280 +what are some things to try to make + +00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.200 +it more comfortable for me starting?" This + +00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.879 +is about how to think about the problem + +00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:09.759 +space. + +00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.959 +Hopefully, a good warm up as we + +00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:14.080 +start thinking about some of the + +00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.200 +lightning talks a little later on. + +00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:20.000 +I'm just gonna quickly make sure I + +00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.400 +can see my IRC buffer in case I run into + +00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.080 +time. I didn't get my stopwatch started + +00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.680 +for this one. + +00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.680 +So all right, let's dive in. + +00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.879 +We assume that we want to install + +00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:33.840 +packages + +00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.560 +and maybe configure some features. This + +00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.319 +is particularly from the perspective of + +00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:39.120 +where we're working + +00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.800 +with a bunch of people on a team and we + +00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.160 +want to get something done. + +00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:44.800 +Some of us probably already have mature + +00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.560 +Emacs workflows. + +00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.280 +Others are installing it for the first + +00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.519 +time. + +00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:56.879 +So the first question is, you know, + +00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.280 +in that context: what's the value + +00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.879 +proposition? Why should I mess with my + +00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.840 +machine, my mature Emacs + +00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.599 +configuration, and impose my + +00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.440 +ideas over the way somebody else is + +00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:10.239 +learning Emacs? Well, + +00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:12.800 +it can be.. I'm off my slides here a + +00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.840 +little bit. + +00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.400 +It can be a little bit + +00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:16.959 +tricky + +00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:20.400 +to learn Emacs. One thing that + +00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.440 +helps us a lot + +00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:24.720 +is if people that we're working with + +00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:26.239 +can tell us, kinda, keystroke for + +00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:28.080 +keystroke at times, what to do and + +00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.480 +explain what everything is doing. + +00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:32.400 +Using the same packages can really + +00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.840 +help us working together on a project. + +00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.840 +Speaking from my personal + +00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.720 +experience, + +00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:42.959 +it took me decades to get to the point + +00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:45.040 +where I was excited to program in Emacs + +00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.720 +Lisp. I've programmed in a lot of programming + +00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:47.840 +languages, + +00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.200 +but Lisp wasn't on my list. I looked at + +00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:53.680 +my config that I was copy-pasting around + +00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.319 +from generation after generation of + +00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.519 +.emacs file or + +00:03:57.519 --> 00:03:59.519 +recrafting it from hand and from Internet + +00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:00.799 +searches, + +00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:03.519 +to get the things that I needed when + +00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:05.680 +I would quickly go install Emacs at some + +00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.680 +new job or contract, + +00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.959 +and + +00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:13.680 +be able to to quickly get through that + +00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.280 +workflow that caused me to install the + +00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.440 +program. + +00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:20.560 +You know, just + +00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.440 +little simple one-liners that that + +00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:25.199 +got committed to memory over decades + +00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.120 +eventually just led me to a sort of "hey what's going on + +00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:28.880 +here." And I credit + +00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:31.680 +Jeff Goff, my good friend who died + +00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.520 +earlier in 2020, + +00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:37.759 +for my lifelong love of Emacs. + +00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:39.280 +Perhaps EriK and I will talk about that + +00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:40.800 +a little bit more in another talk we + +00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:41.360 +have + +00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.280 +scheduled, but Jeff was a huge + +00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:44.400 +influenceo on us + +00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:47.280 +in a number of ways and a huge + +00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:48.720 +contributor to the Raku programming + +00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.720 +language + +00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.840 +which is very cool. + +00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:58.880 +So, understanding how + +00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:01.039 +to make a good decision about splitting + +00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:03.120 +up configuration in a way to share it + +00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:03.680 +across + +00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.600 +people with really different uses of + +00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.600 +Emacs... That's actually a + +00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.360 +complicated topic and I want to + +00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.039 +sort of back off and stare at it for a + +00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:12.639 +second. + +00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.840 +I think Emacs is about people, so that + +00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:18.720 +means it's about community. + +00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.000 +And community means we're going to + +00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.960 +invite disagreement. + +00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:29.120 +In fact, that disagreement + +00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.160 +isn't necessarily a road-block to our + +00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.280 +project. In fact, + +00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:35.680 +some of the work that a community + +00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.759 +project can invite us to do + +00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.680 +is to get closer to each other by + +00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.960 +inviting those disagreements, by + +00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:42.080 +learning from them--learning from + +00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:43.280 +different people's + +00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:46.880 +styles and from how they argue, + +00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:49.120 +and thinking about why they have that + +00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.400 +perspective and + +00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:53.680 +what technical benefits that + +00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.360 +perhaps radical point of view might + +00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.720 +carry away. Some people are really + +00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.039 +aggressive arguers, and others + +00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:01.919 +are very passive and really + +00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:03.120 +couch their ideas + +00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.240 +in distancing terms, to say, "well + +00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.080 +probably, this is a good idea" or + +00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:12.479 +"please double check me." + +00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:15.520 +Those don't always necessarily indicate + +00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:17.120 +how certain a person is, because we're + +00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.479 +different. We have different ways of + +00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:19.520 +communicating + +00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:23.380 +ideas like certainty or excitement. + +00:06:23.380 --> 00:06:24.560 +[Music] + +00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.560 +When we think about a bunch of really + +00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.000 +diverse programmers approaching Emacs, + +00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.280 +probably one of our our first really big + +00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:36.479 +challenges is just + +00:06:36.479 --> 00:06:39.759 +to pick what we're going to go + +00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.120 +after. There are a lot of + +00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.000 +existing kit + +00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:49.599 +installs and things like this. + +00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:52.880 +My argument is that you could actually + +00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:54.400 +get pretty far + +00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:56.560 +just trading files around. Maybe the + +00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:02.240 +more valuable + +00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.720 +conversation to have is making the + +00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.080 +hard decisions about, well, + +00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:08.000 +"should we have vertical completion," + +00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.080 +should that be the out of the box, + +00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:11.759 +and the people that want + +00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.680 +the traditional splayed out over a + +00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.440 +single line completion + +00:07:17.440 --> 00:07:19.840 +for example in the mode line, those + +00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:20.800 +people are going to + +00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.160 +add a line of config + +00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:29.039 +to their own setup? + +00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:32.479 +The way to get there? I mean, how do we + +00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:34.080 +find out what works?

Why should I mess with my - -0:03:00.879,0:03:05.599 -machine, my mature Emacs - -0:03:02.840,0:03:07.440 -configuration, and impose my - -0:03:05.599,0:03:10.239 -ideas over the way somebody else is - -0:03:07.440,0:03:12.800 -learning Emacs? Well, - -0:03:10.239,0:03:13.840 -it can be.. I'm off my slides here a - -0:03:12.800,0:03:16.400 -little bit. - -0:03:13.840,0:03:16.959 -It can be a little bit - -0:03:16.400,0:03:20.400 -tricky - -0:03:16.959,0:03:21.440 -to learn Emacs. One thing that - -0:03:20.400,0:03:24.720 -helps us a lot - -0:03:21.440,0:03:26.239 -is if people that we're working with - -0:03:24.720,0:03:28.080 -can tell us, kinda, keystroke for - -0:03:26.239,0:03:30.480 -keystroke at times, what to do and - -0:03:28.080,0:03:32.400 -explain what everything is doing. - -0:03:30.480,0:03:35.840 -Using the same packages can really - -0:03:32.400,0:03:39.840 -help us working together on a project. - -0:03:35.840,0:03:40.720 -Speaking from my personal - -0:03:39.840,0:03:42.959 -experience, - -0:03:40.720,0:03:45.040 -it took me decades to get to the point - -0:03:42.959,0:03:46.720 -where I was excited to program in Emacs - -0:03:45.040,0:03:47.840 -Lisp. I've programmed in a lot of programming - -0:03:46.720,0:03:51.200 -languages, - -0:03:47.840,0:03:53.680 -but Lisp wasn't on my list. I looked at - -0:03:51.200,0:03:56.319 -my config that I was copy-pasting around - -0:03:53.680,0:03:57.519 -from generation after generation of - -0:03:56.319,0:03:59.519 -.emacs file or - -0:03:57.519,0:04:00.799 -recrafting it from hand and from Internet - -0:03:59.519,0:04:03.519 -searches, - -0:04:00.799,0:04:05.680 -to get the things that I needed when - -0:04:03.519,0:04:07.680 -I would quickly go install Emacs at some - -0:04:05.680,0:04:10.959 -new job or contract, - -0:04:07.680,0:04:13.680 -and - -0:04:10.959,0:04:15.280 -be able to to quickly get through that - -0:04:13.680,0:04:17.440 -workflow that caused me to install the - -0:04:15.280,0:04:20.560 -program. - -0:04:17.440,0:04:23.440 -You know, just - -0:04:20.560,0:04:25.199 -little simple one-liners that that - -0:04:23.440,0:04:27.120 -got committed to memory over decades - -0:04:25.199,0:04:28.880 -eventually just led me to a sort of "hey what's going on - -0:04:27.120,0:04:31.680 -here." And I credit - -0:04:28.880,0:04:33.520 -Jeff Goff, my good friend who died - -0:04:31.680,0:04:37.759 -earlier in 2020, - -0:04:33.520,0:04:39.280 -for my lifelong love of Emacs. - -0:04:37.759,0:04:40.800 -Perhaps EriK and I will talk about that - -0:04:39.280,0:04:41.360 -a little bit more in another talk we - -0:04:40.800,0:04:43.280 -have - -0:04:41.360,0:04:44.400 -scheduled, but Jeff was a huge - -0:04:43.280,0:04:47.280 -influenceo on us - -0:04:44.400,0:04:48.720 -in a number of ways and a huge - -0:04:47.280,0:04:50.720 -contributor to the Raku programming - -0:04:48.720,0:04:54.000 -language - -0:04:50.720,0:04:54.000 -which is very cool. - -0:04:54.840,0:05:01.039 -So, understanding how - -0:04:58.880,0:05:03.120 -to make a good decision about splitting - -0:05:01.039,0:05:03.680 -up configuration in a way to share it - -0:05:03.120,0:05:05.600 -across - -0:05:03.680,0:05:07.600 -people with really different uses of - -0:05:05.600,0:05:09.360 -Emacs...

In fact, - -0:05:33.280,0:05:37.759 -some of the work that a community - -0:05:35.680,0:05:39.680 -project can invite us to do - -0:05:37.759,0:05:40.960 -is to get closer to each other by - -0:05:39.680,0:05:42.080 -inviting those disagreements, by - -0:05:40.960,0:05:43.280 -learning from them--learning from - -0:05:42.080,0:05:46.880 -different people's - -0:05:43.280,0:05:49.120 -styles and from how they argue, - -0:05:46.880,0:05:50.400 -and thinking about why they have that - -0:05:49.120,0:05:53.680 -perspective and - -0:05:50.400,0:05:55.360 -what technical benefits that - -0:05:53.680,0:05:56.720 -perhaps radical point of view might - -0:05:55.360,0:05:59.039 -carry away. Some people are really - -0:05:56.720,0:06:01.919 -aggressive arguers, and others - -0:05:59.039,0:06:03.120 -are very passive and really - -0:06:01.919,0:06:06.240 -couch their ideas - -0:06:03.120,0:06:08.080 -in distancing terms, to say, "well - -0:06:06.240,0:06:12.479 -probably, this is a good idea" or - -0:06:08.080,0:06:15.520 -"please double check me." - -0:06:12.479,0:06:17.120 -Those don't always necessarily indicate - -0:06:15.520,0:06:18.479 -how certain a person is, because we're - -0:06:17.120,0:06:19.520 -different.

Maybe the - -0:06:56.560,0:07:02.240 -more valuable - -0:07:02.240,0:07:06.080 -conversation to have is making the - -0:07:04.720,0:07:08.000 -hard decisions about, well, - -0:07:06.080,0:07:10.080 -"should we have vertical completion," - -0:07:08.000,0:07:11.759 -should that be the out of the box, - -0:07:10.080,0:07:15.680 -and the people that want - -0:07:11.759,0:07:17.440 -the traditional splayed out over a - -0:07:15.680,0:07:19.840 -single line completion - -0:07:17.440,0:07:20.800 -for example in the mode line, those - -0:07:19.840,0:07:22.800 -people are going to - -0:07:20.800,0:07:24.160 -add a line of config - -0:07:24.160,0:07:27.199 -to their own setup? - -0:07:29.039,0:07:34.080 -The way to get there?
