WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.160
 We'll hit start recording.

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:03.400
 All right, everyone.

00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:05.840
 Thanks, Andrew, for the great talk.

00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:06.840
 Super cool.

00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:09.240
 So now we have the live Q&A with Andrew.

00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.440
 Folks, you can start by asking your questions on the pad.

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:14.680
 And we will also open up this big blue button

00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:17.160
 room in a few minutes for folks who

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.920
 want to join here and ask questions here directly

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.320
 to Andrew.

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.080
 Thanks again, and take it away, Andrew.

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:26.400
 OK, thank you.

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.720
 Let's start from pod questions.

00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:35.560
 The first one, do I use this to have multiple configs

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:35.880
 running

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.560
 side by side for deep comparison?

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.920
 Actually, I have two configurations primary here.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.640
 The first one is my main configuration

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.600
 for the whole environment, which manages all the dot files.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.080
 And the second one is virtualenv-like.

00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.600
 It creates a new shell with some environment variables.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.000
 It's set inside it.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.920
 And it includes Emacs load path and other things

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.240
 to make Emacs able to explore packages

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:13.040
 inside this small environment.

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.120
 And it removes all unnecessary environment variables,

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.160
 which pollutes the environment.

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:25.800
 So we have quite a small scope on which only Emacs

00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:28.480
 and a few other packages are available.

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.280
 And as you saw at the end of the talk,

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.880
 it was the example of such small environment

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:38.500
 where I set up Emacs and all the dependencies from ground

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:38.920
 up.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:40.760
 And actually, the similar thing I

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.760
 use for development of my projects,

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:45.440
 I have their project environments

00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:47.640
 made in the same way.

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.400
 But usually, I use my primary Emacs instance.

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.880
 But sometimes, it can be kind of mixed.

00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:59.080
 I have a few talks on my YouTube channel.

00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:03.630
 And you can check them out to get more information about it

00:02:03.630 --> 00:02:04.000
.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:04.560
 The second--

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.060
 Sorry.

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.320
 One quick request, Andrew.

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:08.780
 People are saying if you could maybe speak up a little bit

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:11.170
 more so that they could hear you better, that would be

00:02:11.170 --> 00:02:11.760
 great.

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:12.840
 OK, sure.

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.560
 Thank you.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.760
 The second question.

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:20.080
 Are you using Gix system or Gix on top of another distro?

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.480
 If system, any tips?

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:24.920
 I tried Gix system, but found getting started

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:27.760
 was very difficult due to lack of Wi-Fi firmware

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:31.640
 and incomplete documentation.

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:35.280
 Personally, I use Gix system, Gix home,

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.200
 Gix as a package manager, and also as a deployment tool

00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:40.880
 for a few services.

00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:44.700
 I started from very basic setup where I didn't have

00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:45.360
 anything

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.080
 and build it piece by piece, including

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.400
 building Gix home project.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.680
 So yeah, I use Gix system and all the things.

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:02.040
 And talking about Wi-Fi, first option

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.680
 is to buy a Wi-Fi adapter, which doesn't

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.080
 require proprietary firmware.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.040
 And another option is finding the firmware and installing

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:12.000
 it.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.760
 So it's up to you.

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:17.840
 Everything actually is relatively easy,

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.600
 and you can relatively easy find the way to do it.

00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:25.560
 The third question.

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.360
 One of the issues I have had managing Emacs packages

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.360
 with Gix is a conflict between Gix package

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.160
 attest read-only and the Emacs package

00:03:35.160 --> 00:03:37.840
 attest hackable in real time.

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.680
 Any suggestions to resolve this?

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.600
 Yes, I have suggestions to resolve this.

00:03:45.600 --> 00:03:46.600
 Actually, it's true.

00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:50.560
 Everything which is in GNU store is read-only.

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.680
 Everything which is built with Gix is almost set in stone,

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.720
 and you can't edit it in real time.

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.720
 But what I do--

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:03.760
 can I share my screen?

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:09.160
 One second.

00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:14.140
 I will press a few buttons, and I hope you will see it soon

00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:14.360
.

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:16.360


00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.080
 Or maybe not so soon.

00:04:18.080 --> 00:04:26.600
 What I basically do, I take parts of the ELISP,

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.240
 and I have them inside my scheme file

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.640
 that I use to define my home environment and other things.

00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:38.560
 I don't know-- oh, OK.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.640
 That's it.

00:04:39.640 --> 00:04:43.560
 For example, here, this part is a scheme code.

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.640
 But this part is pure ELISP code.

00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:56.400
 And I can use a direct region and use Emacs ELISP mode here

00:04:56.400 --> 00:04:56.440
.

00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:01.160
 I will need parts, edit those parts, and select.

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.520
 And when I'm fine with all the edits I did here--

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:08.400
 for example, I can evaluate this form using

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:10.760
 Control-X, Control-E, and so on.

00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:13.300
 And when I'm good with the results,

00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:16.920
 I can just save it and rebuild my whole home environment

00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.360
 and see it on a fresh Emacs instance load

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.760
 from the new configuration and see if everything

00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:28.880
 works here as well.

00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:32.760
 So it's a little less interactive

00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:35.000
 than the usual Emacs configuration,

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.480
 but still works quite well.

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.540
 A question-- what is next for RD?

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:48.420
 Actually, I have short-term plans and a little more

00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:49.660
 long-term plans.

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:52.580
 Short-term plan is to make a first release

00:05:52.580 --> 00:05:54.740
 by the end of this year.

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:58.860
 And this release-- actually, RD is quite usable currently,

00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:02.220
 but there is not much documentation and not

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:04.620
 so many examples.

00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:09.060
 So I would like to prepare a documentation

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:15.500
 getting started guide, live CD that you can use

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:23.020
 for exploration purpose and for installation.

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:31.380
 And also, I would like to find one or two maintainers which

00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:37.260
 will help with upcoming patches, because it's already

00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:40.300
 at least a few people who use it on a daily basis,

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:42.860
 and they send a lot of patches.

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:46.860
 And sometimes I have a hard time keeping up

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.660
 with the speed of creating patches.

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:53.540
 So the short-term plans is to make a first release

00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:54.860
 by the end of the year.

00:06:54.860 --> 00:07:00.140
 The long-term plans we can discuss later, I think.

00:07:00.140 --> 00:07:03.580
 And I will share them in RD announced mailing list.

00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:12.980
 OK, I think that's it for patterns.

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:14.580
 Let me check RC.

00:07:14.580 --> 00:07:30.060
 I have-- OK, it seems that I answered all questions

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.540
 that I found.

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:33.180
 Let me know if something appears.

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:39.580
 [AUDIO OUT]

00:07:39.580 --> 00:07:40.580
 Cool, thanks, Andrew.

00:07:40.580 --> 00:07:44.820
 And yeah, I think we still have over 10 minutes, maybe

00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:49.460
 12 minutes or so of live Q&A time on the stream.

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:51.180
 So if people still have more questions,

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:53.180
 please feel free to either add them on the pad,

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.540
 or I think you should now also be

00:07:54.540 --> 00:08:00.020
 able to join this big blue button room to ask directly.

00:08:00.020 --> 00:08:04.100
 OK, I see one more question.

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:08.100
 But I'm not sure what does it mean.

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:10.380
 Do you use Emacs without this?

00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:13.940
 If so, for what purpose?

00:08:13.940 --> 00:08:17.780
 And how does it feel compared to RD?

00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:20.980
 OK, it's a question in general.

00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:24.020
 No, I don't use Emacs without RD.

00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:28.700
 Actually, all the Emacs configurations I use

00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:33.340
 is based on RD and built from that.

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:43.580
 There is a way to add almost everything

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:45.940
 you have in your basic Emacs configuration

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:52.540
 to your RD Emacs configuration by creating a file

00:08:52.540 --> 00:08:56.780
 in your usual .config/emacsd directory

00:08:56.780 --> 00:09:01.740
 and loading it from your .init/el directory.

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:07.940
 So you actually can have a very usual Emacs configuration

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:12.420
 workflow in addition to RD.

00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:16.500
 But I don't use it because it's not a reproducible way

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:20.940
 to do things because such workflow means

00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:25.220
 that I need to install packages separately somehow,

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:31.740
 either with gix install or maybe some other package manager

00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:31.740
,

00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:37.610
 or maybe this package manager, like package.al or straight.

00:09:37.610 --> 00:09:37.860
al.

00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:44.060
 And it doesn't work well in the long term

00:09:44.060 --> 00:09:46.620
 because if I move such configuration, which

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:52.700
 partially RD and partially usual Emacs configuration,

00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:58.980
 it will break on the new machine or maybe somewhere else

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:03.700
 where I would like to move this configuration later.

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:23.700
 OK.

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:27.700
 We have a last slot for Q and A in the pad.

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:39.380
 [LAUGHS]

00:10:39.380 --> 00:10:43.940
 Thank you, everyone, for joining this talk.

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:46.820
 It was a pleasure to interview you.

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:52.780
 I will be here for at least an hour or so

00:10:52.780 --> 00:10:56.340
 before I will go preparing to sleep.

00:10:56.340 --> 00:11:02.740
 So you can reach me by email, RC, here in big blue button

00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:07.220
 or some other way, probably.

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:09.660
 Are there any plans to push things

00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:12.660
 from RD to gix main channel?

00:11:12.660 --> 00:11:16.420
 Actually, I have a commit access to gix,

00:11:16.420 --> 00:11:20.300
 and I try to upstream everything that

00:11:20.300 --> 00:11:25.060
 can be beneficial for both RD and gix to gix

00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:30.740
 and use it from the upstream.

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:35.320
 But sometimes on some question, we didn't reach an

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:35.900
 agreement,

00:11:35.900 --> 00:11:40.660
 or sometimes it's much easier to implement it

00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:46.500
 in a more rapid way, which probably I

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:52.380
 wouldn't like to add to gix because it will require

00:11:52.380 --> 00:11:56.340
 too much time trying to fit to some gix.

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:59.140
 So I keep it only in RD.

00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:04.020
 But the things that I see beneficial for both projects,

00:12:04.020 --> 00:12:07.460
 I try to share and to move them to gix.

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.220
 Sounds great.

00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:23.780
 And another reminder for the folks

00:12:23.780 --> 00:12:26.460
 that you can join big blue button also directly.

00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:29.340
 If you want to type your questions into chat here

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:32.580
 or just ask them over mic or with a microphone,

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:33.540
 you can do that as well.

00:12:33.540 --> 00:12:46.260
 I think we still have about actually 10 or 12 more minutes.

00:12:46.260 --> 00:12:48.100
 I think I underestimated what we had.

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:50.100
 So we still have plenty of time for questions.

 Added one more slot for Gondi in case someone

00:13:01.540 --> 00:13:05.180
 would like to fill it.

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:06.740

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:39.260
 How difficult is to add support for new packages to gix?

00:13:39.260 --> 00:13:44.020
 Have you found that's burdensome versus package L

00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:48.540
 or other in Emacs package management approach?

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:53.940
 Actually, I find it quite easy to create packages for gix.

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:59.460
 Maybe because I'm quite familiar with gix source code.

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:03.580
 But maybe because it's not that difficult,

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:11.660
 you just open a respective model like rd packages or gnu

00:14:11.660 --> 00:14:13.540
 packages in gix repository.

00:14:13.540 --> 00:14:15.660
 And you define the package you want.

00:14:15.660 --> 00:14:19.100
 And you define the dependencies you want.

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:25.540
 Actually, a lot of packages already here in gix.

00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:29.580
 And some of the packages I package in rd

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.660
 and later move to the gix.

00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:37.300
 So it's not hard to reference the dependencies

00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:40.780
 and find the dependencies already declared for you.

00:14:40.780 --> 00:14:46.420
 But what's more important, you can use dependencies not

00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:46.780
 only

00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:49.660
 on Emacs packages, but also on system packages.

00:14:49.660 --> 00:14:53.300
 For example, in my git package, you

00:14:53.300 --> 00:14:55.700
 can use a reference to git binary

00:14:55.700 --> 00:14:58.820
 and predefine the path to the git binary

00:14:58.820 --> 00:15:03.540
 inside a package configuration by fetching the source code

00:15:03.540 --> 00:15:04.860
 or something like that.

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:11.220
 So any package that requires some system package to work

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:14.180
 can use the system package as a dependency.

00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:18.780
 And it is a big benefit comparing

00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:21.500
 to other packaging solutions, which

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:25.460
 can depend only on Elisp packages.

 [AUDIO OUT]

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:40.060
 Do you reckon rd is currently opinionated,

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:44.180
 or is it a one-size-fits-all framework?

00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:49.020
 I would say it's quite opinionated.

00:15:49.020 --> 00:15:52.620
 I started from really bare-bone Emacs.

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.100
 And I suffered for a while.

00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:58.620
 And I did features one by one very carefully,

00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:02.500
 crafting the current state of rd-emacs.

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:08.180
 And it's, as I already said, vanilla flavored.

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:12.180
 I try to stick with Emacs key bindings

00:16:12.180 --> 00:16:15.700
 to use built-in packages over external packages,

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:21.460
 or use packages which are in the same way,

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:26.100
 work in a similar manner to built-in packages.

00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:29.740
 So it's not usual.

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:37.060
 It's not that user-friendly as Doom Emacs or Space Emacs.

00:16:37.060 --> 00:16:45.580
 It's more like a Prelude, or even more vanilla flavored

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:47.380
 than Prelude.

00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:50.420
 But the good thing is that you can declare a feature

00:16:50.420 --> 00:16:51.340
 yourself.

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:55.260
 And if you don't like something about rd-emacs provided

00:16:55.260 --> 00:16:59.860
 by features created by me or other contributors,

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:03.500
 you can use the features declared by yourself

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:06.060
 or by other people.

00:17:06.060 --> 00:17:11.140
 And one of the plans that I have according to rd,

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:13.940
 which we are discussing on mailing list right now,

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:20.140
 is contrib directory, which can include features provided

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:21.660
 by different people.

00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:28.500
 For example, it's quite often asked to add evils support.

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:31.540
 But I don't use evils.

00:17:31.540 --> 00:17:35.460
 And I don't want to maintain this package.

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:38.140
 But I understand that many people

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:43.140
 use such a way of interacting with text editor.

00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:45.660
 So it would be cool if someone who actually

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:48.420
 using this feature will be maintaining it

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:51.020
 in contrib directory.

00:17:51.020 --> 00:17:55.180
 And this feature will be sound with all other features

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:55.460
 which

00:17:55.460 --> 00:17:58.340
 provided by rd itself.

00:17:58.340 --> 00:18:05.100
 And I think this way, it can cover more people needs

00:18:05.100 --> 00:18:07.940
 that it can cover right now.

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:11.260
 So it will fit more people.

00:18:11.260 --> 00:18:17.820
 But the core rd won't be expanding its scope.

00:18:17.820 --> 00:18:19.020
 It will be quite focused.

00:18:19.020 --> 00:18:27.940
 How to get into rd is already documentation

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:31.060
 and getting started guide.

00:18:31.060 --> 00:18:34.740
 There is a repository on source hut,

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:42.700
 github.com/github/sourcehut/abcdw/rd.

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:47.620
 And here you can see a very small readme,

00:18:47.620 --> 00:18:52.540
 which probably doesn't give you too much understanding of

00:18:52.540 --> 00:18:52.780
 what

00:18:52.780 --> 00:18:53.580
 is going on.

00:18:53.580 --> 00:18:56.860
 But it has all the necessary links.

00:18:56.860 --> 00:18:58.740
 It has a link to manual.

00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:02.860
 It has information of mailing lists,

00:19:02.860 --> 00:19:05.940
 which you can use to get help.

00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:14.620
 It has information about IRC channel in manual.

00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:18.540
 And you can join this channel and ask questions here.

00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:22.060
 And of course, you can take the source code

00:19:22.060 --> 00:19:23.860
 and take a look at it.

00:19:23.860 --> 00:19:29.500
 And currently, we have examples.

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:37.380
 And here in examples, my whole configuration of my team

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:38.340
 is present.

00:19:38.340 --> 00:19:43.580
 It's a little bit drafty.

00:19:43.580 --> 00:19:47.380
 I would like to reorganize this a little

00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:50.340
 to make it easier to follow.

00:19:50.340 --> 00:19:55.140
 And before first release, I hope I will do so.

00:19:55.140 --> 00:20:04.140
 But you can use it as an example, build on [INAUDIBLE]

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:09.700
 Unfortunately, the documentation

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:12.180
 is not very extensive.

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:17.740
 So you can find it a little hard to follow.

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:24.140
 Or maybe you can find it missing some important things.

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:29.140
 But before first release, I hope the situation

00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:30.900
 will become a little better.

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:33.860
 But anyway, you can always ask questions

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:35.420
 until the documentation is ready.

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:44.060
 Can you mix RD with custom Emacs init file?

00:20:44.060 --> 00:20:45.220
 Yes, you can.

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:47.780
 I already mentioned it.

00:20:47.780 --> 00:20:53.220
 You can just define in your init.el

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:57.100
 the statement that you load some other file

00:20:57.100 --> 00:21:02.860
 and use this file as your usual init.el file.

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:06.460
 It will work completely OK.

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:13.780
 And you can partially migrate to RD by using such approach.

00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:17.540
 But I don't recommend this approach in long term.

00:21:17.540 --> 00:21:19.020
 I already mentioned it.

00:21:19.020 --> 00:21:24.140
 But having usual init.el file and managing your

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:25.340
 dependencies

00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:29.580
 using package.el or straight.el doesn't

00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:33.140
 cover system dependencies and other stuff, which

00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:38.900
 will lead to maybe irreproducible configurations.

00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:38.700

 Yeah, I think it's fine for the most part.

 It was a bit of an interesting thing

00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:23.500
 trying to keep up the stream with it, because by default,

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:26.020
 we maximize the speaker's webcam.

00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:27.900
 But then you're also sharing your screen

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:29.180
 and sharing important details.

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:32.780
 So we were also trying to get that on the stream as well.

00:23:32.780 --> 00:23:33.660
 But yeah, it was fine.
