CW: Esperanto nitpicking
… and would thus seem to be quite opposed to #Finvenkismo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finvenkism), an ideological view not all Esperantists subscribe to, but one that is yet rather prevalent in the Esperanto community, so it's a bit unlikely a proverb "against" it would get the broad use one would expect from a "proverb".

Thinking of publishing a paper about #Schemacs at ICFP/SPLASH 2025…except there is not much in the way of original research. But I have received a lot of positive feedback about my project from the Scheme and Emacs community. So let me ask the Scheme/Emacs fediverse: if you would be interested in using or contributing to a Scheme-based Emacs that is mostly backward-compatible with #GNUEmacs , what is it about this prospect that is most interesting to you?
Personally, I live inside of Emacs and program most of my personal workflows in Emacs Lisp, though I feel that Scheme is a more interesting and fun language to use when compared to other #Lisp-family languages. So I would just like to be able to use Scheme as the language in which I program all of my personal workflows. Also I am curious if it is possible to write a large application in #R7RS Scheme such that it runs on many different Scheme implementations.
So does anyone else agree, or are there other things about a prospective Scheme-based Emacs that interest you that might be worth mentioning to a the audience of the Scheme-related chapters of the ICFP?
I was talking with William Byrd, who is one of the conference organizers of ICFP/SPLASH this year, and he says the committee could possibly accept anything of interest to the Scheme community, for example experience reports and “position papers” (helping others understand an opinion or philosophy on the topic). And they would judge these papers on different criteria than a paper about novel scientific research.
Anyone feel free to comment, but I am going to ping a few people in particular who seem to have opinions on this, like @dougmerritt @jameshowell @david_megginson @tusharhero @arialdo @lispwitch @cwebber @dpk and also @PaniczGodek who published on GRASP at this conference last year, if I recall correctly.

Valentine's Day Blind Date With a Book at the Print Factory, Bellefonte, #Pennsylvania.
I was born to do this. Always dreamed of having my own used #bookstore, but reluctant to lose a fortune on my own used bookstore.
Instead I volunteer at this awesome #antiracist, #feminist, and #queer-inclusive organization that supports the artistic and intellectual life of the local community. Also #usedbooks

I've given a lot of thought to this question all weekend. And I have decided that I will make one exception, I mean three exceptions, and embrace Kings from Queens

@leehall Funny to see a notification that you had followed me on here, only a couple hours after I read your piece in CounterPunch. Always inspired by the creative dredging of our suppressed and falsified history.
Students laugh at me because I never quit banging on about how we are apes. I think it does sink in for some of them....

For all of her ghastly faults, Constance Garnett's translations of #Tolstoy include comically frequent repetition of the phrase "hateful and loathsome."
That's it. That's the post. It's already in the public domain, but here I give it to you anyway:
"Hateful and loathsome."

Big #Tolstoy fan, just read "The Kreutzer Sonata," and ... blechhh
Actually my Tolstoy fandom is now thirty-odd years old now, and may have exceeded its shelf-life.
Could be midlife, could be the current world, could be mood.
Or it could be that Tolstoy was (in) a super uptight pervert (phase when he wrote it)?

I love #Sourcehut. Sad to see them under coordinated prolonged DDoS attack. Infuriating.
Reminder to eat your vegetables, back up your data, and mirror your repos to #Codeberg and bare repos on your own cheap VPS somewhere
But definitely not GitHub booooo BOOOOOO

Interviewer: About the cape.
Steve Howe: Cake?
Interviewer: "Cape."
Chris Squire: Cor, he's asking about the capes.
Steve Howe: Oh! "Cape!"

Alan White: I never WORE a bloody cape

@shom I used #freesoftware to slice up and merge PDFs from various textbooks to produce reading packets. (#TeXLive's #pdfjam, also recommend @pdfarranger).
Took the trouble to get them approved by the copyright compliance police in University Libraries. Been distributing them with a clear conscience and a light heart for many years.
I hope I have students who will remember me the way you remember that teacher of yours.
