Migrating to an org-mode website
This is a story⦠a story of me changing the way I code and publish my website. In the
past, I’ve switch from Jekyll to “orgmode
and Jekyll” to Hugo (sorry those are written
in french). The past year, I’ve written and documented myself a little bit about
minimalism and digital minimalism. Although I don’t see myself as a minimalist, it helped
me realize some issues I had.
Golang testing β gotest.tools introduction
Let me introduce it to you this library : gotest.tools
. As described in the godoc package comment, gotest.tools
is a
collection of packages to augment testing
and support common patterns. It’s an enhanced and growing version of the
initial helpers we (the docker/moby maintainers) wrote initially in docker/docker
repository. We are using in quite some
project here at Docker.
Vincent Demeester’s .emacs.d
I switched back and forth on using org-mode
and literate programming, so why re-using
it. First, I think I went for it the wrong way the first time. I copied part of the
configuration from elsewhere, sometimes without really needing what I was copying. for
some reason I think this is a common pattern when configuring Emacs. You start by using a
distribution (Doom Emacs, Spacemacs, β¦) or by copying configuration from all over the
place. Slowly but surely you realize this was a mistake as you didn’t learn anything, so
you reboot your configuration.
