I export to HTML fairly often with orgmode. In this case “export and open” resulting in viewing the code is almost never what I want; it would be much more useful like the export pdf option, which doesn’t view to the LaTeX code but right to the PDF. Answer As per https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/2387/browser-not-opening-when-exporting-html-from-org-mode A setting change fixed this. M-x customize-variable org-file-apps and for files of type \\.x?html?\\' I specified firefox %s. Now it does what I want.

Working with d3js I found myself in need of a tooltip to explicate data as it is explored in a chart. The best way to use d3 with Reagent (react.js) is to use reagent to handle the DOM manipulations and d3 to handle more elaborate visualizaion calculations. We don’t follow the d3 model of adding an event to every dom element to trigger a tooltip item to be created, which duplication would behave poorly with React state maintenance.

I have an orgmode item that looks like this: ** STARTED [#A] Planning, Emails & Social [48/56] <2020-03-23 Mon 08:15-09:00 +1d> This item is a target for my capture-from-email, so TODO items are constantly added beneath. The result is that the count always end up as [0/0] in my agenda until I manually visit the headline and do a C-c # to update it to the proper count; I’m not sure why this is, but I would love to fix it somehow.

Until recently I was well-served by now-derelict url-shortener which worked well. It’s a cool library – very general, supporting a variety of shortening options. But when it broke, it was annoyingly complex to fix. Plus, I needed the excuse to sharpen my elisp skills a bit. The result is below. I learned a lot of good things (big thanks to the Reddit emacs community), including: Using defcustom to create customs groups for use in emacs’ nice customization tooling Utilizing url-build-query-string to build my… well, you know.

For years I’ve been using pop3 to collect my gmails, without problem. However, since yesterday it is failing. I use getmail and have made no changes since originally getting it working. When I use getmail -vvv I get the following error: Retrieval error: server for SimplePOP3SSLRetriever:recent:«myaddress>@gmail.com@pop.gmail.com:995 is broken; offered message GmailId1718e4039279f0fe but failed to provide it. Please notify the administrator of the server. Skipping message… I don’t see any notification of recent changes, but my mail client is devoid of gmail functionality now.

I build hydras for common functions in my use-pattern; sometimes it’s the C-u version that I want in my hydra. Usually this is easily done by passing a '(4) to the function. However, I have one fn that is failing at this: ("<f11>" (lambda () (interactive) (flyspell-correct-wrapper '(4))) "spell correct") ;; eval: Wrong number of arguments: (0 . 0), 1 The reason for this failure is that it turns out emacs has two ways of calling fns with prefix args.

One of the most meaningful testaments to Clojure’s data-driven and lisp-powered design is the ability to use it to refine any of its transpiling processes, here SQL generation (elsewhere route generation, CSS generation, and of course its actual hosted languages, including Javascript or Java generation*). In this post I was tasked with refactoring a 3-arg function that reads from the database into a map-taking function that works with one, two, or three items in the map.

My project design includes creating a file/namespace for each database table, with a suite of CRUD operations applying to each table. The end result is that I have functions like db.my-table/CREATE, READ, UPDATE, and DELETE available for each table. The strategy is as follows: Establish the template clj file that has all your CRUD operations Obtain all table names (e.g. from init.sql) Use a script to create a matching clj file based on template (1) customized to refer to the tables from (2) 1.

I’ve been continually seeking the answer to Garden CSS’s title question: “what’s possible when you trade a preprocessor for a programming language?” I have used Garden exclusively for years, happily wielding garden-gnome to implement hot-loading on my front-end for an excellent development experience. Writing CSS with Clojure data-structures is a hands-down win over raw css-writing, and Garden also gives useful shortcuts that some of the preprocessors also have like lighten, darken, & selectors, and more.

I have been deep in emacs for over a decade but still never utilized the scratch buffer until I saw how much it was part of the workflow of a friend. I’ve now fixed may ways and just needed a fast way to open it, optionally in a side Window. I wrote up this quick command and bound it to a convenient hydra key and now I have one-stroke scratch buffer opening.
