Speed up your Clojure debuging with a YASnippet

This article shows how to use R code to generate randomised text files to test the Emacs Denote package.

In today's stream, we'll automate a particular task that I don't find very fun: editing YouTube video descriptions. We'll use Emacs Lisp to interact with the YouTube Data API to pull down a video's description, edit it in a buffer, and then save the description…

I’ve long thought it was a little funny that Emacs doesn’t provide an
easy way to run a shell command on the current file. It turns out it
does, but it’s not as obvious as you might expect.

Today I saw a clever bit of Clojure code involving clojure.string/replace, that reminded me how powerful the Clojure standard library is. I guess pretty much everyone knows that replace is normally used to replace some part of a string using a regular expression…

Many programming languages have a function for combining the elements of multiple collections (e.g. arrays or lists) together. Typically this function is named zip. Clojure doesn’t have a zip function in the standard library, which leads many newcomers to…

If you’re into programming puzzles you probably know that there’s a whole class of problems about doing something (e.g. some calculations) with the digits of a number. This means you need to break down a number into its digits first. I’ve always assumed that…
