Mermaid makes pretty diagrams from text. It's Javascript-based, so the command-line tool (mmdc) uses Puppeteer to get the results of evaluating the diagram in the browser. I was running into some errors trying to get it to work from Org Mode over ob-mermaid on Ubuntu 24, since apparently AppArmor restricts Puppeteer. (Error: Failed to launch the browser process! · Issue #730 · mermaid-js/mermaid-cli). I...

2024-12-31-09 December 2024 -- monthly review.png EmacsConf 2024 was a ton of fun, and we managed to get the Q&A videos up quickly. I indexed lots of Emacs videos for emacs.tv, and I wrote some Emacs Lisp so I can manage the queue from Emacs. W- retired, hooray! He's been keeping himself active with lots of biking and various projects like fixing the toaster....

New in this video: subed-record-sum-time, #+PAD_LEFT and #+PAD_RIGHT Video not supported. Thumbnail:Download the video I like the constraints of a one-minute video, so I added a subed-record-sum-time command.

[2025-01-07 Tue]: I like the way Karthik's blog posts have play-by-plays for the videos (ex: Fringe Matters: Finding the Right Difference), so I've added an experimental play by play at the bottom of this post.

A+ often enjoys watching Minecraft videos on Youtube where streamers take on challenges like surviving harder, more realistic worlds. We briefly gave RL Craft a spin the other day, but I died to a dragon and that wasn't realistic enough for A+, so we checked out Underdog today. We couldn't get Underdog to work under GDLauncher on her computer even when I changed the...
