You're not #literate #coding ? WHAT!!? That is the REAL #VibeCoding !! Load up #emacs in org mode, which a bunch of custom snippets, a cup of nice coffee and PLAY! :D I love it. It's like a sketchpad. I'm doing alot of it in #clojure which is so fun.

I think that I've actually almost got my personalized #emacs config set to the point that I can start using it. At least, it's almost usable enough to edit its own #literate config file.

Isn't that what one does with emacs?! Edit their own config? 😂

Still like #Doom emacs, though. But, going through this process (for the 89th time) does help one understand better of what's what. That, and #elpaca rules.

And since a few folks mentioned readability on git forges, here is the HTML version of the #emacs #literate config: forgemacs.bharathpalavalli.com

I re-watched parts of Inventing on Principle by Bret Victor.

I was reminded that creators need to be able to see what they are doing without any mental mapping.

That is why one problem with #literate #programming is the mental burden of double compilation. You can’t run your debugger on the literate source, so you have to first compile it, and then do the mental mapping in the debugger.

In my upcoming #newsletter you can read about some work with my #notetaking #zettelkasten application.

Here is what it looks like with some notes about #literate #programming.

I always thought that doctests were an evolution of literate programming pioneered by Donald Knuth. However, reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate again, I now see that it's explicitly called out that literate programming is about the ability to form a program from a web of smaller pieces. Importantly, this web does not have to follow the structure of the finished program.

I have not actually tried to do #literate #programming — is there anybody here who have experience with it?

Is there a solution to load a #nix env for a single #emacs buffer from an arbitrary file?

I'd like to be able to define an environment for a specific #OrgMode file (within #OrgRoam, so in a flat file structure), which would (ideally) tangle a `shell.nix` to the `org-attach-id-dir`, and be loaded into the buffer with some elisp code.

I'd use this, e.g., for taking #literate #pkm notes on programming languages and packages. But being able to define a run environment within #literateprogramming, esp for #reproduciblescience, sounds quite generally useful though.

The basics seem to be in `nix-buffer`, `emacs-direnv` and `envrc.el`, but they all seem to require a directory-specific environment rather than an arbitrary nix file.

The Netflix Germany TV show 1899 will be right up the alley of Tim Powers fans, a truly sweeping scope that ties the far past and the far future together into one persistent, complex New Weird mythos, one where you're legitimately never sure what's going to happen next. Strongly recommended to speculative fans!

@wagesj45 1. The very point I was trying to make earlier was that the sharpest #scientific minds of the current age are absolutely pitiful compared to their 25000 BCE equivalent. Surely somebody would have “discovered” #atheism relatively early on, but belief in the paranormal and supernatural has been the norm among the #literate classes since the invention of #writing.
