Back in the day I started out with the "Emacs Lisp Intro" also known as "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" that comes with Emacs. I remember printing it out and devouring it before going to sleep.

It looks like it's been kept up to date and you could do worse than starting there, especially in an Emacs context.

Here is the online version in case you don't know how to navigate info manuals yet:

> For example, who’d willingly port a service that only worked on Centos 5, with SHA1 hashed TLS, or the CDN service that your game update assets were delivered from in 2007.

Hardcore fans of the game. Instead of making the game abandonware, one solution is to open source the whole server-side shebang and let the community sort it out themselves. If it's too difficult, at least there will be some sample source code that is known to interface with the game, so alternative server-side implementations can be built.
Why are y'all arguing about this when you already learned like 20% of php by reading the OP. Learning enough of a high level scripting language like php to be able to be useful and productive in it is not some huge time sink, it's a few dozen hours of reading docs and tinkering
I don't know how (maybe from the TV shows i grew up watching) but my brain got programmed to expect that i will understand something right away, which in reality is really stupid. I understand that i put a huge burden on me when i expect something like this but i can't stop it. I knowledge it but i can't internalize it and "come to terms" even though i want it very much.
Depending on how the registration is handled, the advantage could be in reduced friction, resulting in higher turnout. Even the reduced turnaround time in totaling votes could have a positive impact on turnout.

Until spam becomes a problem on XMPP... And then we're back to the same problems as email.

I'm working with some people to build out Stamp which is federated in a similar way to XMPP but attaches small cryptopayments to keep undue about of spam off the network.

To be fair, many "normal" software solutions also resemble a house of cards.
It's definitely real. There is some convoluted scheme involved where buying into it gives you the option of converting your shares into $people tokens which give you the advisory voting rights for what to do when they win their copy of the US Constitution. They're using something called Juicebox [1][2] which looks like a set of contracts that simplifies ERC20 token creation and management but the site is designed for children so it's hard to make sense of it.

Balance at time of writing this seems to be ~$38.75M (Ξ9,140.55) and the conversion rate is 1,000,000 PEOPLE/Ξ.

Someone commented this is basically a scam to generate a bunch of hype and transfer a whole bunch of money to whoever owns the contract for this DAO. Whatever money they don't use at the auction will presumably be distributed back to whoever bought into this based on their share of $people tokens (modulo gas fees). It's unclear if the DAO owners have extra shares or not but I guess that could be easily verified by someone who was willing to do the required detective work and chase some pointers on etherscan [3][4].

No not a dumb question at all. Hard to give an exhaustive list. One example is say you are a Facebook/Insta influencer who is promoting a link to a product. You might have an incentive to inflate the engagement rate with that link. Just engagement will be likes/clicks on the post/link. By tracking conversions you can try to mitigate this type of behavior to an extent.

This lack of transparency, public oversight, and engagement seems to be a trend. I would love to hear how other cities have managed to steer their elected officials into community oversight. Financial influence cannot be the only option.

I have one random lego knock off item on my shelf, it's a monkey. I don't particularly like legos, or monkeys for that matter, but I keep it because it was pretty fun to build it and it reminds me of that.

Seems like you could amplify this by about a million with a set that is both intricate and of a subject you are really into.

Or disassemble it and make new stuff. As a kid we never had sets, it was all in a big pile.
I feel I'm a sucker for these devices. I love all of them =)

The pinebook pro caught my attention first (actually bought both an ANSI and ISO variants). Then the pinephone was delivered to my house. The pinepower followed shortly thereafter by the pinetime. I am anxiously awaiting for the pinenote to develop into a useful device, and I'll prolly end up getting that as well.

I've had a great experience with nearly all of the devices. The pinephone is a bit anemic power/ speed-wise for me to use it often, but I knew that going in. It still has a lot of potential and development on the software side has been fun to watch.

doesn't that describe a lot of cryptocurrencies? or are you suggesting the people in these regimes use cryptocurrencies as an intermediary to transfer their local currency into more stable foreign currency?
No voice channels :(
This is the one instance where I absolutely abuse the 'customer service' reps that call.

I had a similar thing with a previous car purchase -- Sirius would not get the hint that I had already canceled and didn't want to renew. At one point I stopped being nice and started being malicious. The calls quickly stopped after that. Amusingly, when I canceled siriusxm on the car I bought after, they never called once. I do so hope that means there's a note somewhere attached to my name that says "don't call."
Sometimes inflation is not reflected in a price increase, but in the reduction of quality (e.g. longer waiting times).

> I'm about to cancel my Netflix (Canada) I find myself going to it scrolling around and leaving finding nothing interesting.

Same, except I don't pay for Netflix, my partner does.

Anytime I have a moment of weakness and try browsing Netflix I end up wasting 20 minutes and feeling worse than before. Frustrated, drained, and annoyed.

The worst part of it is I strongly suspect they do have some content I would like to watch somewhere in there. They just make it impossible to find.

A friend of mine wrote this paper, 'A Wicked Sense of Humor'. [0] From the abstract:

"It [research] therefore proposes that many of the sayings of Jesus, which have traditionally been taken "seriously" might be better understood as humorous subversions of oppressive discourses
by a Galilean peasant with a wicked sense of humor."

Discovering this particular take was a joy to me... people who are humorless about their beliefs deserve not to be taken seriously.

Making changes to my .emacs never causes unexpected behavior. It does what I tell it to do.

Looking through my .emacs I really can't think of anything that would cause the chaotic behavior you describe. And the only revert I see in the last 10 years of git history is a key binding change that I decided I didn't like after all.

The only way I can see this happening is if you copy and paste random stuff from the internet without understanding it. But then what else could you expect.
swoole is a pretty interesting alternative as it allows asynchronous programming in PHP.

roadrunner is a PHP server developed using golang, utilizing goroutines for high performance.

Anyone who was part of the demoscene in the 90's knows that it is indeed as far from the truth as could be imagined.

I wanted to add some clarification to the above statement, but I'm not able to accurately convey the level of elitism could be found in the community back then. Your rank was based on the impressiveness of the demos you created, and if you were a member of the right group you were looked up to by people below you.

I guess similar hierarchies exist within other artforms, but I can't really think of anything that went as far as the demoscene back then.

Yes, it is a URI schema. FAQ #11, at https://www.doi.org/faq.html

> DOI & URI: how does the DOI system work with web URI technologies?

> DOI names may be expressed as URLs (URIs) through a HTTP proxy server. In addition, DOI is a registered URI within the info-URI namespace (IETF RFC 4452, the "info" URI Scheme for Information Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces). See the DOI Handbook, 2 Numbering and 3 Resolution, for more information.

I know little about IPFS. I know a bit more about DOIs.

A DOI maps more to an abstract, mutable resource than a specific document or file. That doesn't seem so easy to express in IPFS.

Take doi:10.1093/nar/gkz173 which I picked arbitrarily. This resolves to https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/47/11/e63/5377471 .

That shows the content of the paper in HTML, with an option to download in PDF.

It also has references to the journal issue, methods to get the citation in various format, a navigation bar for the site, and branding for the journal.

Many of these may change over time. Indeed, the paper itself may change if there are any updates or corrections, without changing the DOI.

Or the paper might be retracted, like doi:10.1126/scisignal.abn0168 which resolves to https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.abn0168 . The original paper is no longer accessible. (An alternative is to add the equivalent of a big red stamp on it saying "RETRACTED" while leaving the content accessible.)

Finally, I suspect many journals would not accept a scheme which prevents them from charging for access.

Could you explain how IPFS might handle these issues of multiple formats, mutability, and payment?
yes, with the sole exception of facebook. If you really believe people are going out and learning php just to get jobs at faceboook I've got a bridge to sell you.

Wow - amazing link. Thanks!
A very pragmatic reason exists: deployment is dead simple for users with very little technical skill. Deploying PHP software is as easy as subscribing to a shared web host (expensive or not, but most will make your life easy), connecting using FTP/SFTP, and extracting a ZIP file into the main directory. Some hosts even skip the last couple of steps and let you apply a template with a well-known PHP CMS to get you started. Hey presto, you have a functioning web shop, business website, charity home page, or whatever other thing you want. There's a (PHP) app for that.

In comparison, other programming languages are hard to figure out. Python, Ruby, Java etc all need some kind of a package manager to install dependencies (PHP apps are self-contained) and need to have the correct runtime version installed (PHP just needs to be in the general neighborhood of what's required, since most broadly used packages seem to be written in a backwards compatible fashion). This is scary and unfamiliar, and highly technical. If you're deploying on a VPS (because rarely anyone has managed Python/Ruby/Java hosting services), you've now also become the sysadmin with full responsibility for the box, including patching and downtime. Compared with shared PHP hosting, it's bonkers.

I badly want to move off of discord, but I need something that follows the "voice channels" concept from discord (which comes from teamspeak/ventrilo/mumble).

What do you think the best path is to that feature? Element seemed to have audio calls already, but not voice channels.

Also basic features like push to talk and noise thresholds are key.
I assume they were being sarcastic? Unless I'm missing something, such a crystal couldn't survive the humidity of the woods for long.
This is addressed in the middle of the article. The Shadowstats guy couldn't give any concrete examples. Meanwhile I could say the reverse is also happening - an improvement in "quality" of cars (features and fuel efficiency), homes (square footage), medical treatments. Though I worked in healthcare and there were definitely a lot of unwarranted price hikes - if you paid out of pocket.

As for housing, if you adjust for price per square foot and the monthly cost of a mortgage (and not the purchase price - hardly anyone pays cash for housing), inflation for that category isn't as high as you'd think.
What is useful about Bitcoin? I genuinely don’t understand what use people see in it. Do you have a use? It seems to me the main use is “get rich on vetting it will go up” because I haven’t been able to find any other articulation of why i might ever want to use it.

Bitcoin’s goal was a censorship resistant form of P2P electronic cash. (Don’t get hung up on those terms- they are terms of art.)

It has completely succeeded in that. In a decade it has never been successfully censored, it remains viable P2P cash and in fact has scaled in capability dramatically.

Now you can trustlessly transfer $1k from one phone to another in milliseconds across the globe at effectively no cost.

That is the best cash ever.

And no government or corporation can censor it like they did to Wikileaks.

A side effect of its security approach is the coin limit which has created scarcity and a virtuous cycle whereby early adopters gain relative wealth that helps fund continuing development.

Bitcoin has completely succeeded on its own terms, far beyond its intended scope.

It is now in the early stages of remaking the world in its own image.

I know that likely few of you can see that, but it is already a national currency, and soon the trickle of adoption will become a flood as bitcoin incentivizes a speculative attack on the dollar and every other fiat currency.

In the process it will destroy the funding mechanism that has kept the world at war for a century, and massively increased poverty.

War is over. If you want it. Maas theft of poor peoples savings via inflation is over.

With Bitcoin.

You can see the source code of Windows whenever you like. Pay for a Shared Source Initiative license and Microsoft will show you. Or just look at any of the old leaked versions. In neither case is there anything untoward going on in the codebase. Mostly what you’ll find is just integrated proprietary upstream-vendor source code that Microsoft licensed themselves for use in Windows, but does not have an unlimited right to redistribute in source-code form.

Just a nitpick, emacs is every bit as "modal" as vim. If you configured vim to start up in insertion mode and had to ^O to do every normal mode command, it would be somewhat close to Emacs's fundamental-mode.

C-x enters a keymap called the `ctl-x-map`, lots of file-related commands live in there but also half a million other things. It's very similar to `:` to enter an ex command or, more accurately, `g` as a prefix to a million different vim commands.

If you ever find yourself in emacs again, try typing C-x (to enter the `ctl-x-map`) and then hit C-h. This shows the help for the Ctrl-x keymap, and you'll see it's somewhat well-organized, if completely arbitrary. For instance, if you hit `C-x 5` you'll be in a sub-keymap (the ctl-x-5-map) which has a lot of frame-specific management mappings. Why is it under `5`? Historical reasons, no doubt, but it's inscrutable to normies like me.

For one thing, miners can choose which transactions to include in the transaction block. This means they have the power to censor transactions. The claim that a blockchain is uncensorable is untrue. Under certain assumptions, it's unlikely that transactions will be censored, but there's no guarantee that that will be the case (as would be if this process was handled by a set of predetermined rules, e.g. computer code).
There really are no real downsides to taking ivermectin at its usual therapeutic doses. I'm not an expert, but ivermectin is well enough understood that I don't need to be an expert to know that. That's why there are regularly ivermectin programs that dose literally every single person in a town with ivermectin for a month or so as a parasite extermination campaign.

(I have somewhat less confidence in my second opinion about ivermectin, which is that precisely because it's so safe, it's vanishingly unlikely to have antiviral effects at those doses. That's something I could easily be wrong about because I'm not an expert.)

I have friends here in the Austin area who have worked for AMD. From what I’ve heard from them, it’s not that AMD doesn’t care, it’s that AMD is clueless and hopelessly disorganized, and they’re constantly doing whatever they can to chase the latest supercomputing contract, to the exclusion of all else.

It’s a target-rich environment if you want to learn all the bad anti-patterns, so that you can avoid doing them in the rest of your career.

So, it’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they don’t have enough hours in the every-day-is-a-hair-on-fire-day that they would be capable of caring.

>We don't need any "repair procedures" from Apple.

Who is we? Experts? Or consumers repairing their own devices? For the latter, people absolutely do need repair procedures. The first stop for most people is a site like iFixit -- a site founded on the need for documentation to repair an Apple laptop.

While we certainly need to be mindful of e-waste, I'm not convinced that component-level repairs are unquestionably a net benefit to society vs module-level repairs. Process efficiency, shipping, warehousing, packaging, materials-used, and the environmental controls in place have huge environmental impacts as well. The total environmental impact is much more complicated than the board itself.

I understand and share the desire to tinker with and repair anything regardless of complexity. However, as someone who also produces products, I also think that the law should be reasonable in what it forces me to do when I create something.
