• 03:58 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2008-10-13 Alkohol . . . . Marcin Borkowski – No, ale to ani trochę się ne wyklucza z tym, co napisałem (prawie dziesięć lat temu, ale chyba nadal mogę się pod tym podpisać). Nadal utrzymuję, że . . .
• 03:44 UTC (new) (history) 2018-07-23 Handlebars inline and block helpers . . . . Marcin Borkowski – In a project I’m involved in, we use a templating library called Handlebars.js. It is quite nice, and has a slightly less nice documentation. Since I’ve spent a considerable amount of time recently digging through the Internet to find some information on the so-called helpers, I thought I’ll share it here. Expect a series of (not necessarily consecutive) blog posts about Handlebars!

• 19:17 UTC (new) (history) 2018-07-16 Eshell aliases . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Some time ago, I wrote about a way for programs started in Eshell to use cat as a pager instead of less. Since originally I only wanted this behavior with Git, and Git has a =--no-pager option, it would be better to automatically add that option to Git. Well, it turns out that Eshell has the feature we know and love in bash: aliases.

• 18:10 UTC (new) (history) 2018-07-09 A mistake with modes and advice . . . . Marcin Borkowski – In my last post I wrote about a way to do something only in modes derived from text-mode. Alas, as user Omar pointed out in the comment, I made a rather embarrassing mistake

• 17:39 UTC (diff) (history) Comments on 2018-07-02 Smart yanking . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Wow, good catch! How embarassing;-). Thank you so much for pointing that out!

• 04:43 UTC (new) (history) 2018-06-25 A simple hack with the comma operator and console.log . . . . Marcin Borkowski – As we all know, console.log is the best debugging tool there is. I know, I know, it’s primitive, it’s slow (you have to insert it and run the program again, though that can be sped up) and it’s uncool to use it. Never mind.

• 18:38 UTC (new) (history) 2018-06-16 ivy-use-selectable-prompt . . . . Marcin Borkowski – It’s been a long-standing problem in Ivy that entering a string which was not on the list of candidates, but was a substring of one of the candidates, was non-trivial. You had to remember to press C-M-j instead of RET, and that requires some finger acrobatics. Well, it’s no longer a problem.

• 19:37 UTC (diff) (history) 2018-05-20 Collaborating with non-Git-users - workflow and basic setup . . . . Marcin Borkowski – +links (minor)
• 19:35 UTC (diff) (history) 2018-05-28 Collaborating with non-Git-users - Emacs support . . . . Marcin Borkowski – +link, italics (minor)
• 19:34 UTC (new) (history) 2018-06-04 Collaborating with non-Git-users - Git hook . . . . Marcin Borkowski – In the first part, I showed how I can make Git add information about the commit in every file I want it to in such a way that it is updated every time I Git-archive the project. The second part was devoted to integrating this workflow in Emacs and mu4e. Today I finish with showing my Git hook protecting me from accidentally messing up. (minor)

• 13:35 UTC (new) (history) 2018-05-11 Beeminder and Emacs . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Today’s post is special – instead of writing it here, I’m a guest on the Beeminder blog. Head over there to read it! (And thanks to Beeminder folks for having me there!)

• 05:00 UTC (new) (history) 2018-05-07 Ten years of work in Wiadomości Matematyczne . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I mentioned a few times on this very blog that I work for a certain journal, Wiadomości Matematyczne. Last year was my tenth anniversary of my job there, and I gave a talk on the joint Polish TeX Users Group and TUG conference to celebrate that. Well, a few weeks ago my TUG paper based on that talk went public. If you are interested in LaTeX and want to learn something about what it looks like to use it to typeset a journal, it may be a nice read. Enjoy!
