Has anyone else noticed their recent #hackernews posts getting bot-spammed with upvotes? Looks like 3 of my recent #emacs submissions are getting spammed with upvotes all simultaneously and this seems to be causing de-ranking. I have to keep emailing Daniel to assure him I'm not vote manipulating my own posts lol

@evgandr This really does seem like a key to unlocking Emacs. Once you understand that you can introspect any part of the API and mutate as you like at runtime, something sort of clicks.
This is a big one for me with respect to the 'bloom' in the title. The idea is that you simply need to be aware of the 1 fact (that you can introspect the API effortlessly), then you have access to the full, beautiful universe of every function / variable / macro etc....
I need to check out #uxn !

This 👏 book 👏 is 👏 trashed 👏.
Front and back covers completely severed; stains from god know how many muddy university coffees; and lots of chicken-scratch hand writing, a good portion of which I can't even decipher anymore. Also many rogue question marks 😅.
I did think about giving this to the local library, but it's likely a biohazard at this point. Curious if anyone else has a more egregiously blown out copy than mine! #infinitejest #davidfosterwallace #literature #reading #entertainment

The point on radicalization at the beginning of the show had me thinking about how radicalization of humanity into diametric opposites seems inevitable today.
I wonder, if AI could trivially solve our climate crises 'tomorrow', could we overcome that polarization (as the enacting machines lack ego), or would the human stewardship still put us in some kind of political paralysis?

Wrote a passion piece about 2 of my favourite books.
Gödel, Escher, Bach, Wallace: the "o's, d's and p's" in Infinite Jest
"the [typographic encoding] becomes the smoking gun in the case against Avril Incandenza when you appreciate Wallace's intellectual debt to Douglas Hofstadter and Gödel, Escher, Bach – a debt the essay documents in detail below."

I love #epub I just wish they were easier to manage. For example, it's difficult to obtain an EPUB for a lot of my books and it's difficult to get highlights and annotations show up in, for example, both #Emacs and a mobile EPUB reader, or even from one mobile EPUB reader to another.
As a result, I use #pdf s most of the time. Things like annotations and highlights get embedded in the document natively, and show up everywhere. Puts the "P" in "Portable Document Format"

A couple years ago I switched from Obsidian to LogSeq because it has org-mode support OOTB. I really am only using for it's syncing capabilities across devices and availability of mobile apps. It is a far from perfect experience, but the pain is hardly noticeable if you predominantly edit the files in org-mode like me. https://logseq.com
