Emacs

As shown under another article, I’m using uvx to run some mcp servers needed by mcp.el. However, when I first started them on NixOS, I encountered an error. After consulting Gemini for solutions and a root cause analysis, here are my notes. Symptoms and Error Message Checking the *Mcp-Hub/ buffer with mcp-hub-view-log, the following error appeared: [stderr] Could not start dynamically linked executable: /home/bk/.cache/uv/archive-v0/unI5q9QapqXHm9fPXna4G/bin/python [stderr] NixOS cannot run dynamically linked executables intended for generic [stderr] linux environments out of the box. For more information, see: [stderr] https://nix.dev/permalink/stub-ld [jsonrpc] D[14:56:49.461] Connection state change: `exited abnormally with code 127 Solution: Enable nix-ld Adding the following to your nix configuration resolved the issue for me: ...

Introduction The integration of large language models (LLMs) into Emacs has rapidly evolved over the past few years. My first encounter with an LLM inside Emacs was in November 2022, through AI-powered code completion with copilot.el. I still vividly remember how impressed I was at that moment. Shortly after, ChatGPT was launched, and tools like ChatGPT.el made it possible to interact with AI within Emacs—though, at that time, the features were few, and I didn’t really feel the advantages of using LLMs in Emacs. ...

What You’ll Learn in This Article What SKK is How to install and configure AquaSKK How to set up SKK (ddskk) in Doom Emacs Challenges in adopting SKK and their solutions Impressions and evaluation after using SKK long-term What is SKK? SKK (Simple Kana to Kanji conversion program) is a type of Japanese input method editor (IME). Unlike typical IMEs, it features explicit switching between input modes and unique operations for selecting conversion candidates. Key characteristics include: ...

Introduction Are you an Anki user? Anki is a powerful memorization tool that utilizes a spaced repetition system (SRS). I’ve been a long-time Anki user, and it’s become indispensable, especially for language learning. Recently, while using Anki for English vocabulary learning, I had an idea for the “perfect” card type – one with features I’d always wished for. I’ve now realized this ideal card type and made it publicly available on GitHub. This article introduces the “Super Vocab” card type, explains the development process, and, for Anki/Emacs users, describes how to create cards using anki-editor. ...

The Problem The other day, when I started Emacs as usual, the following message appeared in the minibuffer: Project <Project Name> at <Project Path> cannot be read. Emacs then became a piece of software that simply displayed a white screen. I had recently changed the path of this project, so I suspected that might be the cause. I tried modifying/deleting the project path in projectile-known-projects-file, but the situation didn’t improve. I also tried commands like doom sync and doom upgrade, but none of these resolved the issue. ...

The Problem So, I recently fired up Emacs to do some Julia coding after a while, and I ran into this annoying message: Server julia-ls:50759/starting exited (check corresponding stderr buffer for details). Do you want to restart it? (y or n) It kept popping up (even if I pressed y), and LSP just wouldn’t start. It took me a bit of time to figure this out, so I’m leaving this note here for anyone else using Julia in Emacs. ...

Introduction Hey everyone! I regularly use anki-editor to create Anki cards. But after upgrading Emacs, my math formulas started looking really messed up. Specifically, I had these two problems: In the desktop Anki browser’s preview for each field, the formulas weren’t rendering as formulas. They just showed up as plain LaTeX code. Formulas were being displayed as PNG images. (They used to be rendered inline with MathJax.) Since I rarely edit cards directly in the desktop Anki app, the first issue was somewhat tolerable. But the second one was really bugging me. The image resolution of the formulas was lower, and they didn’t match the size of the surrounding text. ...

The Problem I was trying to use Org Cite Citations and the following code to display my references: #+print_bibliography: But only the “References” header showed up – the actual list of references was missing. I checked the generated Markdown (.md) files in my content/ directory, and the reference list was there in HTML. However, when I looked at the final HTML files in the public/ directory, the references were gone. This suggested the problem was happening during the Markdown-to-HTML conversion (the md -> html part of org -> md -> html). After some digging, I found an issue on GitHub about the same problem, which led me to the solution. ...
