I just noticed the OBS websocket plugin on #guix has been re-enabled. I can control it from #emacs once more!

@davemq You can get org table calculations (which use Emacs Calc, as you say) to handle units (of measure) by adding ";u" to the end of any calculation.

#Emacs #Calc #orgmode

Looking at orgmode 9.8 release notes. Like this feature

'Tables copied into the clipboard from LibreOffice Calc documents can now be pasted as an Org table using yank-media'.

#emacs #orgmode

Not quite sure why but org mode 9.8 seems a lot faster than before which has also improved org-roam startup time. org-roam also got an update (which may have contributed). Happy days !

#emacs #orgmode

I've been trying to use #org-mode and #emacs-jupyter as a replacement for Jupyter notebooks in a #Bioinformatics course I'm teaching. After having to manually force org-mode to update inline images a handful of times I did this in anger: https://github.com/pjones/org-inline-image-mode

Does anyone know when is the next #lisp game jam?

This year we might be able to have games produced with #Emacs Lisp running entirely inside Emacs using Pale and the Canvas API.

#Emacs `easy-menu-define` is really good. When I can't remember the keybinding for something in a specific mode, I just add some custom graphical menu entries and the problem is solved. Since Emacs is aware of the keybinding of each function, it even shows you the key for free so you can learn it.

People might be wondering what this has to do with emacs, and no it's totally not that I forgot that hashtag was still selected, but rather that I fully believe 'computing' and 'emacs' to be synonyms. #emacs
