I can’t remember if I posted this here or not before, but since I believe there are a number of academics on this Slack, and this might be of some interest/use to them, I’ll post it again: https://doi.org/10.17608/k6.auckland.13031117.v3

I am an undergraduate CS student (but not in New Zealand) and found this interesting. Is there a video recording that you have given to go along with it?

Also PS: I have never lived in New Zealand so not sure, but are undergraduates usually called “academics”? Usually that refers to graduates and PhDs involved in actual research where I come from. Just curious

Just noticed this today, but the Racket docs and Emacs have the same interface for manuals LOL:

With top, prev, up and next being analogous

IIRC, Racket Mode uses emacs utility to parse Racket’s HTML doc and display it as text. So it should have the same interface!

Yeah, not just Racket Mode, but all emacs manuals have the same interface (I’m sure you already knew that), so it was cool to see the Racket HTML also aligning to that, as opposed to the manual format that Vim has, for instance

No, the talk was not recorded. And no, undergraduates are not referred to as ‘academics’. I was meaning research & teaching staff at a university or similar institution (you could also potentially include PhD-level students in that).

Ah, I see. Certainly this would be interesting to both undergraduates and academics then :slightly_smiling_face:
