Everyday #Emacs #orgmode task: merge two tables

I'm grading, and want to merge the class list with the list of assignment submissions. Include the two lists as named tables, and a tiny R-snippet will produce a merged table (also named).

Gods. I love #orgmode so much.

Just went "nah, I want the column in that table swapped with the one to its right."

Done.

It's markup is good, but its integration into #emacs is what makes it truly incredible.

In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

• Arch
• Devuan
• Gentoo
• Guix and
• Void
  

Things to consider:

• I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
• gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
• Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
• It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...

1: complex ≠ complicated

I have released version 2.8 of org-social.el 🥳

I have focused on improving the user experience with real-time notifications, better post readability, and performance enhancements.

- **Real-time Desktop Notifications**: Get instant notifications for mentions, reactions, replies, and boosts via SSE (Server-Sent Events). Optional feature, disabled by default via `org-social-realtime-notifications`
- **Post Preview Length Control**: Long posts now show a "Read more" button (default 400 characters). Configurable with `org-social-post-preview-length` or set to `nil` to disable truncation
- **Improved User Mentions**: `org-social-mention-user` now uses async cache system that loads all users from relay without blocking Emacs. Cache updates automatically and silently after timeline is displayed

## Other improvements

- Bug Fix: Poll voting now works correctly with vfile URLs by using local cache file
- UI Enhancement: Thread view displays full posts without truncation for better readability
- Performance: Timeline navigation optimized to avoid unnecessary feed reloads when switching between buffers

TIL about org-novelist and… damn.

I am 100% going to give that a try when I finally write a standalone novel. The current books are too interwingled & org-novelist really seems to be designed around a concept of "everything for this book is in this one folder" but in my current situation I'm sharing characters between books with overlapping timelines and locations and all that.

If you juggle working between Markdown and Org a lot, this might be of interest to you.

@kickingvegas ad "Import #Markdown to Org with the Clipboard in #Emacs" from http://yummymelon.com/devnull/import-markdown-to-org-with-the-clipboard-in-emacs.html

I'm using a similar method "my-convert-region-from-markdown-to-orgdown" from https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

Does your method suffer from the same issue which I still have? Converted heading levels are always starting at level 1 and not the heading level of the current sub-tree I'm yanking to.

Therefore, I yank to *scratch* and need to search/replace heading markers to match the levels I currently need ...

Just a very important reminder before you chill out in pajamas all weekend, ya'll clever little weasels: #OrgMode > #Markdown.

Enjoy your fall burrows!

Yes, being able to take control is key and not really understood by many.

My Emacs is just that: mine. It works how I want it to work (mostly ;-)).
