- More and more I would like to learn Racket.
- I'm encountering increasingly frequent slowdowns and annoyances in Emacs of late. I think mostly when I'm working in org-roam. It seems pretty buggy - possibly just due to my config. But it doesn't find files that I know exist, it slows down massively when processing the DB.
- Ah - so not finding files might have been due to my use of a relative path in dir-locals.
- I seem to have to keep on running
org-roam-db-clearandorg-roam-db-build-cacheof late. Hope I've got it sorted now. - I am also getting big, annoying interruptions from this background process that runs to update the DB.
org-roam-db-update-methodis set to'idle-timer, andorg-roam-db-update-idle-secondsby default is set to 2. I think I'll try changing the method first to'immediate. If that is still no good, I'll change back to idle timer but with a increased number of seconds. - immediate works a bit better for me, because I'm more likely to naturally pause after saving a file, so the brief processing time doesn't bother me as much.
- Still, would be good to see if the time for updating the DB could be reduced.
- A spaced repetition approach that might work with org-roam: The Poor Org-User Spaced Repetition - Where parallels cross
- Removed helm duplicates, that was getting a bit annoying. https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/13564
- My spacemacs config is getting a bit unwieldy. I'd quite like to do that org-babel literate config thing that people do. But probably a bit of a unnecessary yak shave right now.
- Decided to shave that yak. Not too bad. Setting up a spacemacs literate config file.
- I'd like to the issue on Flock where reloading a page with stacked notes sometimes gives a 'page not redirecting correctly' error.
- Also some links from subfolders don't work.
- Definitely enjoyed the Literate config approach for my spacemacs config. It probably makes sense for config - stuff that is cobbled together over time from various sources. Was thinking about if it would be worth trying it with other code - i.e. Literate programming. It could be problematic on shared projects though, presumably - you'd be forcing everyone in to doing it that way, otherwise your literate file and the code would get out of sync.
- Adding timestamps to org-roam notes.
toggle-debug-on-erroris very handy. Used it today a few times when fixing things broken in my config or elsewhere.- Been trying to get org-roam-server to work. It's super slow on my graph. Also tried org-roam-server-light but it's just the same performance issue on the client-side. Also I can't seem to get it to filter out the Recent Changes page annoyingly, despite putting it in the exclude filters.
