Citiranje ameriškega zunanjega ministra na Versailleski mirovni konferenci. Mastnak se naslanja na Thorsteine Veblena, ki je o Verseillski mirovni pogodbi podal kritiko, da je preveč medla in popuščujoča do poraženk, ter da je njen edini cilj nenapisani člen, ki vzpostavlja koalicijo za boj proti socialzmu, komunizmu in socialni demokraciji.

Črno internacionalo sem pred časom kupil na knjižnem sejmu in sedaj je končno prišla na vrsto. Po prebranem uvodu, mi je že žal, da se je nisem lotil prej. Napoveduje se super zgodovinska in politična analiza Versailleskega miru, ki je temelj tudi za trenutna geopolitična razmerja. Mislim, da bo super dopolnitev teoriji, ki je predstavljena v Mastnakovem Bonapartizmu.

@pixelfed Great, but first next step should be a solid governance structure. We have enough of heroic one-person drives and egotrips.
It is unsustainable long-term.

Ok, I've read all chapters, but I'm not setting this book as read until I finish some exercises (and read appendixes). I'm especially interested in the plain text graphs library since I enjoy data visualization whenever I can work on it.

Another note to myself. I've used yank-pop first time today. I knew of kill-ring but never bothered to delve deeper since no other software I'm using implements it in a way to store more elements on the clipboard.

And I have my eyes on the next goals as well: The Emacs Lisp Elements by Protesilaos Stavrou. I'll try to read it on my e-ink screen, because I'm not utilizing it enough (it would be so nice to have touch screen gestures to scroll working on my #debian with #i3).

And after that, I'll check if there are any simple packages that need co-mainteners. #EmacsLisp

Kontekst: Razmišljanje študenta Glasinčanina, študenta gozdarstva, med pogovorom s Stikovićem ob večernem sprehodu po mostu na Drini, ob prelomu 19. stoletja.

Meta: vsaj en citat na knjigo se mi zdi fino dodat (sploh, če je knjiga zanimiva). Drgač mi je pa zanimivo, koliko različnih skupin realnosti ljudi obstaja. Na koncu ima vsak svojo, ampak mislim, da se jih da tudi malo združit glede na okoliščine, v katerih se nahajamo. Nemalokrat opažam, kako si nezavedno racionaliziramo želje in odločitve, prav glede na okoliščine, ampak tega hkrati ne priznamo.

A new episode of #radio 📻 show #TechnoEnema with @jimsalter@fosstodon.org, sysadmin, podcaster and #FOSS enthusiast who had his server brought down due to excessive traffic from #AI crawlers.

If you don't speak 🇸🇮 you can skip to 13:45 where the interview in English starts. 🎧 #tehnoklistir

Danes ob 19h imava z @g1smo oddajo #tehnoklistir 📻 na #radiostudent. Gost oddaje je @jimsalter sistemski administrator, #FOSS navdušenec in podkaster, ki se je nedavno, podobno kot mnogi drugi vzdrževalci internetne infrastrukuture, na kateri tečejo prosto in odprtokodne storitve, spopadel z roji spletnih pajkov, ki zbirajo vsebine za učenje velikih podatkovnih modelov. Takšni roji lahko preobremenijo strežnike in storitve so nedostopne za legitimne uporabnike.

"No country can develop without science -- it will be destroyed by its neighbors. [...] Persecute bookworms all you like, prohibit science, and destroy art, but sooner or later you'll be forced to think better of it, and with much gnashing of teeth open the way for everything that is so hated by the power-hungry dullards and blockheads."

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, /Hard to be a God/

I'm loving the gentleness of introduction that this book provides. It goes slowly through the code examples and shows you how to read the #EmacsLisp code.

And a spoiler: Here is my attempt for the Chapter 8 exercise: (defun test-search (string) "Search for string and left a point there if it is found." (interactive "sSearch for: ") (let ((found) (current (point)) (len (length string))) (save-excursion (while (and (< (+ len current) (point-max)) (not found)) ;; why complicate? just whole string on each position. (if (string-equal string (buffer-substring-no-properties (point) (+ (point) len))) ;; we found the string (progn (message "Found!") (setq found t) ) (progn ;; else (setq current (+ 1 current)) (forward-char) ) ) ) ) (when found ;; we found the string so we move the point. (goto-char (+ current len)) ) ) )

I guess that biggest impression that the book left on me was the treatment difference between artist and high-end sex workers and low-income marginalized sex workers who are criminalized and persecuted. The last essay on meaning was too "anarchist" for my taste and I missed a class perspective.

Will hopefully help decrease impostor syndrome on Emacs User Group Slovenia Meetups.
