Wrapping `jj log` was just a nice entry point, what I was really after was a way to manipulate the jj log from a buffer in #emacs.

This has resulted in my most significant contribution to my Emacs config yet - a tree-sitter powered major-mode, using combobulate for a bit of structured navigation

I had a lot of fun making this and I’m now wondering what else I can try this approach with… 🤔

The package defines a M-x vared command for interactively editing an
Emacs variable in its s-expression form.

You'd use it when:

1. You want to edit a variable that is not intended to be
interactively edited so it's a defvar rather than defcustom.
2. You just want to quickly edit the sexp representation of a variable
and don't want to deal with the M-x customize UI

I wonder if someone has written a guide to Embark in GNU Emacs that is 'N things you can do with Embark without additional packages'. The Embark posts I've seen seem to use it with complicated other packages I don't have (at least for their early examples, after which I tune out).

(I have worked out some sleazy tricks, but it feels like I'm missing so much.)

#emacs

Googling Emacs, Google asked if I meant Vim instead.

Soooo, you can use emoji-search (C-x 8 e s) for this, search for "flag: <country>" - simple as that.

D'oh.

Suche LISP Programmierer*innen, die eine Emacs/Slime Umgebung mit SBCL und QuickLisp nutzen.

Ich war gestern so schlau (ql:install :clog) zu starten. Leider läuft das nur auf einem Kern und kompiliert sich seit gestern tot.

Wie kann ich solche Prozesse (oder SBCL komplett) auf alle Kerne schubsen, damit das schneller geht. SBCL ist die Version aus dem offiziellen Repo des Betriebssystems.
