TL;DR My dotfiles are checked into a git repo I want to avoid checking in sensitive, work-specific config to a public git repo I updated my git and emacs configs to check for local overrides in ~/.local Like many folks, I check my dotfiles into a git repo…

I finally got around to re-recording and posting this talk on
Clojure’s transducers that I gave last year to the Austin Clojure
Meetup:

Or via a mapping to elements that sort in a natural order:
(sort-by count ["xx" "xxx" "x"]) ; => ("x" "xx"…

In this stream, we'll take a look at an Emacs package called `org-transclusion` which enables you to dynamically include sections of other files like source code, text files, or Org files into an Org file and have them be updated when the source files change.…
