Le Pouls Du Monde

chesheerAs a book translator I spend my days working with texts. Also it means I have to deal with user-hostile file formats like docx. Because editors, designers... My long-time friend was LibreOffice. I used it since version 5.something. It's a great alternative to Microsoft Office. But in other respects you have to put up with this huge bulky piece of legacy code that probably still has Sun engineers' souls trapped inside. And I want to boast with my little personal victory. I have finally finished a book fully typed in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vim</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> (for the glory of both editors) in Markdown format and later processed via <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pandoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pandoc</a> to docx (with all required styles and formatting). I used LibreOffice only on the last stage to iron out some quirks and typos. It seems this workflow works. Which means I don't have to use this huge and unhandy LibreOffice suite every day. Now I want to figure out if I can use org format for my translations or should I stay with Markdown. Because it seems I like it here with Emacs.

There would be an emacsctl tool to go with it, of course. And no more LISP when simple declarative .INI files are superior and friendlier to modern developers whose laptops might not have a close round bracket key, you know. /usr/lib/systemd/emacsd.conf and /usr/lib/systemd/emacsd.conf.d/ are the future.But then I once joked about putting an XML parser into process #1; and someone then did that.<a href="https://tty0.social/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a href="https://tty0.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemd</a>

sigueTFW you discover a cool new <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> micro-feature that makes your life just a smidge better. Today, the feature is C-c C-d to realign tables in markdown-mode, which I found at the end of this article: <a href="https://borretti.me/article/the-best-emacs-microfeature" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://borretti.me/article/the-best-emacs-microfeature</a>:blobcatnomcookie:

James Endres HowellPSA: Building <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#community</a> pays off. Like most things worth doing, start small, do a little but do it consistently, see immediate benefits. They soon become cumulative.Fifteen years ago I was on a path to self-isolation like many men fall into. My wife goaded and supported me into cultivating a number of good friends, a good <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/sangha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sangha</a>, local volunteer circles. Spaces like this one, especially the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> community.If it worked for me it can for you too. I promise it's only a little effort.

Roberto :emacs: :mastodon:I'm going to give a talk on how wonderful is <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> in crafting your own tooling for an audience that probably does not even know about emacs. In part I'm inspired by the great <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/systemcrafters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemcrafters</a> and the crafting spirit. (Thanks <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@daviwil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@daviwil</a> !) I have several ideas on how <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> can empower you to create your own tools, but It would be great if you can give me some ideas to share the joy of emacs.

aphex twinkhey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests. i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years. you can read more about me at <a href="https://peregrinator.site/about?1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://peregrinator.site/about?1</a><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/intro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intro</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cats</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blogging</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#data</a>

Mark Hepburn<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> ysk: I am a sucker for new themes, or threads about peoples' favourites. But without fail I check them out, shrug, and resume zenburn.Anyway, in the <a href="https://github.com/minad/consult" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/minad/consult</a> package there's a command "consult-theme", and it lets you live-update preview however many themes you have installed (and C-g will instantly drop you back into zenburn again).
