I feel I'm getting better at stealing ideas from @sacha 's #emacs confg https://sachachua.com/dotemacs/index.html

org-read-date is the one I'm learning at the moment. Now just need to figure out how to make it the beginning of the week.

(defun create-week-note (d)
  (interactive (list (org-read-date nil t)))
  (message "Date: %s" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d W%V" d)))

POSIX shell? Nah, I prefer GNU’s.

“Bash,” what the heck are you talking about? You mean eshell, right?

As much as I use Emacs, one thing that's funny to me is how little I tend to care about new versions.

Partially because I always install from whatever package manager is on the host OS, so they aren't full of features I'll usually be able to use tomorrow; I still have crufty machines running emacs 27 that my config has to be compatible with.

But mostly because it's Emacs. Any problems these updates solve I've generally already solved in my workflow! You want me to be excited about an Emacs update? Tell me how LISP interpreter performance just increased by 30%.

can a hook remove itself?

Is there a better way to do it? (I want music to start sometimes when I clock into a task in org with a timer, but I don't want it to happen every time, just when I use my special task clock in thing)

Is there a #emacs focused mastodon server?

#Python folks: if you want an interactive debugger, what do you use, and how do you set it up? Particularly on unfamiliar projects with something like tox/nox/Just which gets between you and the running process. Bonus points if you have a functioning #Emacs integration.

In principle I love the idea of interactive debuggers. In practice I have been burned so many times by configuration, path, and terminal interaction issues that I have an almost instinctual recoil from anything based on pdb.

The way I work in 2025. A fun tour through my workstation setup: i3, Firefox, Emacs and shortcuts galore. Theming and translucency. Automated daily routine, including networking, VPN setup, backups and agenda files. Oh, and I use Arch, btw.

#emacs doesn't ship a goto-line function. M-x apropos goto-line shows several implementations. But I was surprised to see avy's implementation https://github.com/abo-abo/avy/blob/933d1f36cca0f71e4acb5fac707e9ae26c536264/avy.el#L1750-L1784

New blog post #Journelly vs #emacs: Why Not Both?

I didn't think I needed an iOS journaling app, but Journelly had me at "it's just one big org-mode file". https://baty.net/posts/2025/04/journelly-org-mode-backed-journaling-for-i-os/

Recently I joined copilot.el's team and my biggest contribution to date is that we have the first ever tagged release https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el/releases/tag/v0.1.0 The AI tools for #Emacs keep getting better!

The release notes are huge, as they contain the entire dev history, but things will get better from here!

I’m trying up Forge for #emacs and I don’t get the idea. Is it a starting point before moving to browser? Seems like the interactions (merging, ci, commenting) on prs (95% of what I do on Microsoft GitHub) are very limited. Am I missing something?

I'm really puzzled by notmuch's regexs. How the hell more inclusive search terms giving less matches? What am I doing wrong?

@sacha I guess the RSS is https://communitymedia.video/feeds/videos.xml?accountId=216498&token=8cb5dc2f-82e7-4d3f-ad2c-95457f46b631 and I am going to put all the years there including your interviews... eventually. Might need to add subtitled/post-ex-facto video content.
