Normally people use ChatGPT to vibe code, this is the first instance I'm aware of of ChatGPT using people to vibe code!

Kris Jenkins is a top-notch interviewer! He lets the interviewee talk, really pays attention and asks good follow up questions. I know that sounds like standard things an interviewer should do but at least in tech podcasts few seem to.

Zero. We didn't get engagement rings, not later wedding bands. The first few years of our marriage we used to get asked about the wedding bands a lot, but people eventually got used to us not having any. I think it's probably been about 15 years since we last got asked about them.

That wouldn't be so useful for academic papers, which is the use case described here: I've never heard of a an academic journal that accepts Typst source, but I know of hundreds, probably thousands, that accept LaTeX.

Pocket Casts is fantastic.

What advantage does the Wikipedia app have compared to the mobile website?

Agree on Voyager, that's what I'm using to post this comment!

My wife and I watched a classic noir film: Double Indemnity (1944). As expected, it was great.

I hope it's live action.

EDIT: No such luck.

org-ql is an end-user package, you don't need to be a programmer to use it. It has commands to search among your org files and most options can be customized through Emacs's customize interface. I highly recommend it for searching through org files, I find it much easier to use and also faster than the Org built-in search commands. Check out the project's README file, which includes a bunch of screenshots and animated GIFs showing org-ql in action: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql

I'm looking for opinions on org-roam from people that used plain old org for notes extensively before trying org-roam. I've trying to figure out if I'm missing anything by not trying org-roam and it's hard because when I ask org-roam users what they get out of it they tend to reply with stuff that I already know how to do in org: daily notes, capture notes quickly and unobtrusively, searching for notes, linking to other notes. Often it turns out these org-roam users did not use org before org-roam. The exceptions to functionality being available in org that I see mentioned are automatic backlinks and a graphical representation of the link structure.

I have no interest in the seeing the link graph, but I'm not sure about automatic backlinks. In what ways do people find them useful?

It could also happen that the org-roam features I feel I already have in org (daily notes, capturing, searching and linking) are somehow better in org-roam than in plain org. Fair enough, for example I wasn't completely happy with searching and linking in org by itself, so I now use the excellent org-ql package for those tasks. Could someone who has done these things both in plain org and org-roam describe if and how they are improved in org-roam? Particularly, is capturing in org-roam somehow better than org-capture? Are org-roam dailies better than a datetree?

One small thing I liked in the new version is the grep-use-headings user option, if you set it to t, then grep buffer lists the search results with headings, one per file, instead of repeating the filename every single time.

Acme doesn't stand for some generic editor! It's the famous acme text editor by Rob Pike. It's an interesting editor, very different from Emacs or Vim, and yes, very mousey. In this video Russ Cox gives a great overview: https://youtu.be/dP1xVpMPn8M

I looked at the macro expansion of the form you wrote and it looks like gibberish, so I don't think the :hook keyword allows expressions to be used as hooks, you need to define a function and use the function name:

(use-package pascal ; presumably
  :init
  (defun remove-pascal-completions ()
    (remove-hook 'completion-at-point-functions
                 'pascal-completions-at-point t))
  :hook (pascal-mode . remove-pascal-completions))

Also, the weird single quote character you used probably doesn't work in Emacs (but maybe you have normal single quotes in your file and it's just lemmy's markdown messing things up).
