• 19:24 UTC (new) (history) 2016-06-06 Org clocking and resolving idle time . . . . Marcin Borkowski – This post is basically a reminder for myself, though some of you might find it useful. I use the Org-mode clocking feature a lot. (Especially now that I have it synchronized with Beeminder.) While I’m not a hardcore QS fanatic, I do see their point that collecting objective, measurable data about oneself can give very valuable insights. (For instance, I learned that if you have an 8-hour-per-day job, and you spend 6 hours actually working, then you are insanely efficient – time efficiency of 50% percent is normal according to my experience. Sometimes it happens, though, that I forget to clock out. In such a case, org-clock-idle-time (set to 5 minutes) comes to my rescue.

• 06:19 UTC (new) (history) 2016-05-30 Jeżycjada mistyczna – wprowadzenie . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Od ponad dziesięciu lat jestem wiernym fanem pisarstwa pani Musierowicz. Być może jest to dziwne, że facet w średnim wieku czyta sobie powieści dla nastolatek; być może nawet rodzi to określone podejrzenia. Nie zamierzam się jednak z tego tłumaczyć, tym bardziej, że czytując powieści pani M. znajduję się w doborowym, i to nie tylko damskim towarzystwie. Za to dla ewentualnych wątpiących mam kilka argumentów, które być może skłonią kogoś do sięgnięcia po Jeżycjadę.

• 12:33 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2016-05-23 Literal values and destructive functions . . . . erez – Just to clarify, the warning is not about not using, it's about using. The advice is not to use them, have I understood correctly?
• 05:02 UTC (new) (history) 2016-05-23 Literal values and destructive functions . . . . Marcin Borkowski – In Lisp literature you can often find a warning about not using destructive functions (like sort or nconc) on values coming from literals. This is a good advice, and you should follow it. Here’s a short stab at a (partial) explanation (note that all examples are in Emacs Lisp).

• 17:49 UTC (new) (history) 2016-05-17 Emacs Lisp closures demystified . . . . Marcin Borkowski – It is often claimed that one of the advantages of closures (as in “lexical scoping”) is information hiding (a.k.a. encapsulation). This is true, but as this post shows, you can’t really hide anything in Emacs Lisp;-).

• 04:40 UTC (new) (history) 2016-05-15 debug-on-whatever . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Debugging Elisp is sometimes tricky. Some time ago I had an issue with a variant of show-paren-mode. The issue looked like a complete hang of Emacs, when even C-g didn’t help. How to debug that?
