03:37 UTC (new) (history) 2021-04-04 Easter . . . . mbork – Christ is risen! So, happy Easter for everyone! I’m looking at my Easter post from a year ago, and I stand by everything I said then.

09:21 UTC (new) (history) 2021-03-27 The interactive clause and modes . . . . mbork – I was reading up on the interactive clause recently, and I noticed something I’m quite sure there wasn’t there before.

07:31 UTC (new) (history) 2021-03-20 Using index in the Emacs Info viewer . . . . mbork – Recently I was looking how to use the index in the Emacs Info viewer. First of all, let me mention that it is really, really great, and I would love it if more software used this format. Imagine having all MDN Web Docs within Emacs – no network latency, everything available without even touchning the mouse… Or even better – the whole DevDocs project… Now that I think of it, I guess writing a tool to automatically convert it should not be too difficult to write – any volunteers? Anyway, let’s get back to reality. The index.

07:34 UTC (new) (history) 2021-03-15 Indenting code in Emacs . . . . mbork – A few days ago I needed to look up some indenting functions in Emacs, and I found something I either didn’t know or didn’t remember.

07:57 UTC (new) (history) 2021-03-07 A directory name as a command-line parameter for Node.js . . . . mbork – Some time ago I accidentally discovered a neat feature of Node.js, which seems undocumented (at least I could not find anything about it in the docs). If you have some npm project in a directory, say /tmp/some-npm-project, and it has the main property in package.json set to some Node.js script, say bin.js, then saying just node /tmp/some-npm-project runs /tmp/some-npm-project/bin.js. It turns out to be quite useful if you have a directory full of various Node.js CLI utilities, each occupying its own directory, with its own package.json, especially considering shell autocompletion. And that’s it for today!
