"a) to keep logs/notes or b) to use M-: and not keep them" (2024)

See the page of my presentation at the EmacsConf2024.


<prs2> when i say something like "see M-: (info "(emacs) Modes")" what
       i meant was in emacs, hold down Alt, type :, let go of alt,
       type (info "(emacs) Modes"), and then hit enter" -- which, if
       you do it, an info page will show up
<prs2> (M-: runs eval-expression, which lets you type code into
       the minibuffer and have it execute immediate)
<edrx> prs2: why not this: copy the line (info "(emacs) Modes") to
       a buffer and execute it with C-e C-x C-e?
<prs2> edrx: more work
<prs2> for a one-liner
<edrx> prs2: but with M-: (info "(emacs) Modes") RET the sexp is
       lost after it is run
<prs2> edrx: sure.  so what
<prs2> it wasn't worth keeping
<edrx> prs2: so running it again is more work
<edrx> all sexps are worth keeping
<prs2> nooo, they're not

<edrx> that's what I was trying to discover - if prs1 prefers
       a) to keep logs/notes or b) to use M-: and not keep them
<prs2> edrx: you jumped the gun, though
<prs2> or, has prs1 actually installed eev
<edrx> for (a) people eev is neat, for (b) people is it very, very,
       very wrong
