>functionally useless skills

The dog would disagree! :-)

I admire your mother. She is a real hacker.


I am reduced to keeping Emacs and VSCode open on the same files/project :-) Use the LLM from VSCode and switch back to Emacs for regular editing!

Currently trying out various Emacs packages. I got 'claude-code.el' actually working. But there is some flickering and also the interface is a bit wonky.

I will try other packages mentioned in the article.

For the life of me, I can't _edit_ with VSCode. My Emacs/Doom/Evil muscle memory is too ingrained.


Cmd+Shift+m mutes/un-mutes your Mic when focus is on teams window.

I think GP is asking about a global (from any application) mute/unmute teams Mic. I have wished for one for ever.


Hmm, I don't have teams installed on my Mac, so I cannot be of much help, but I do have a potential solution for you.

Is completely muting your mic sufficient? If so, I have an Applescript solution that seems to work if you want it. I tested it in VoiceMemos and it worked even if I was in a different app in a different space. You can bind the script to a global hotkey very easily via many different apps like Alfred, Karabiner, etc..

Well CL is supposedly the programmable programming language. So none of this is surprising..


Yep. Org-gtd, Org-Roam and Org-journal user here. Haven't needed anything else. All local, searchable with deft and old fashioned grep.


Very nice!!

Does it not print the notes? I tried to print a month and it is not showing any notes in the preview.


I have used Raku (Perl 6) with good results.

Common Lisp. Using 'iterate' package almost feels like cheating.

I have done half a year in (noob level) Haskell long ago. But can't find the code any more.

Most mind blowing thing for me was looking at someone's solutions in APL!


Few years into Perl 6, they should have recognized the writing on the wall, forked off Raku and let Perl 5 grow on its own.

One of the biggest fumbles in the history of computing. (With hindsight ofcourse..)


Same here. I use Raku instead.


I use Raku on a regular basis. I think it is the best language to write DevOps (for lack of a better term) scripts.

Perfect for people who find Bash too sharp and fragile and Python too tedious.
