TMIO Pre-release, request for feedback

TMIO Pre-release, request for feedback

[Timothy]

Hi Everyone,

As we arrive at the end of May, I'm about to publish the 3rd issue of
/This Month in Org/. I thought I'd share the current draft with the list
the day before I publish to so that those of you who are interested have
the chance to point out any errors, let me know if there's anything I
haven't covered that you'd like to see, along with any other feedback
you may have.

For the next day, you can find the draft at:
https://blog.tecosaur.com/tmio/DRAFT-2021-05-31.html
and then once published it will live at:
https://blog.tecosaur.com/tmio/2021-05-31.html

All the best,

Timothy.

p.s. Based on the response to this, I may or may not keep on doing this.
If you would (or wouldn't) like to see me repeat this, let me know :)

Thank you very much for your excellent work, and for all the effort and
time you put in it. I think your /This Month in Org/ conveys, above all,
something very valuable that all Org users share: an immense and
uncompromising enthusiasm for Org and Emacs :-D

I like the design of the site: very clear and readable.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Timothy,

thank you for this.  Your summaries are very useful.  I find out things
that I somehow missed despite being on the mailing list.

However, there is one item that not only did I miss but I don't see it
in org itself:

* Add support for HHhMM date formats (e.g. 13h20) Gustavo Barros

I would find this quite useful as I hate typing : when entering diary
entries.  Where does this support exist?

Thank you,
eric

Great to hear!

This is for date entry using `org-time-stamp' at the very least. I'm not
sure if anything else is affected.

Hope that helps,

Ah, yes, it is there for inserting time stamps directly.  Thank you.  In
any case, it would be good if diary functions would also support this.

Many thanks for these highlights. I value them very much as even though
I check this list almost everyday, I missed the thread on 'Font lock for inline export snippets'.

Just a precision async process is already available in R. Thanks again
to Jack Kamm for this input.


#+BEGIN_SRC R :session *R* :async yes :eval yes

Hi Jeremie,

I believe async evaluation in R still requires my external package:

https://github.com/jackkamm/ob-session-async

Are you sure you don't have that package enabled?

I'm currently blocked on porting the R implementation here, while
awaiting paperwork at my current job (I am making headway, but slowly).

In the meantime, feel free to go ahead and port it, if you like. It
should be a very simple copy-paste, changing 1 or 2 variable names. All
that code was written while at my previous job, which had signed the
copyright disclaimer, so is safe to copy.

You can also refer to my port of async sessions to ob-python, which I
wrote before switching jobs:

https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/53fd5b774e23406ed351bdb166ab35edd0c44892

Best,
Jack

Yes you are right. I used it so much that I wrongly thought is was part
of ob-R already.

@Timothy my apologies you were right all the way, Async is not part of
ob-R but will be soon.

Glad to hear that it is moving in the right direction.
