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.

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.

My favorite Strugacki brothers' book so far. The medieval atmosphere is described so well you can almost smell the dirt and rot.

I gathered a small collection of Strugacki brothers' works :) Hard to be a god is supposedly their most known novel.

Gives a very nice overview of ActivityStreams2.0, ActivityPub API for clients and AP protocol.

I read a pre-published version which had some small errors in code examples and I wasn't able to set up the ap python example client that's menitioned in the book on my GNU/Linux machine. For me personally the nodejs AP server examples were also hard to understand since I avoid javascript whenever I can.

Next steps for me are reading the code of projects I'll understand, referring to landrok/activitypub php library, the activitypub and activitystreams drupal modules, pixelfed etc. This activitypub development list also looks delightful: codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-activitypub-development

The story is quite short and a quick read. It is based on a similar concept as Roadside picnic but doesn't build as good of an atmosphere as Roadside picnic does. I'm looking forward to read The Time Wanderers (which are also translated in Slovene) and Hard to be a God and then I'll have quite a good overview over Strugacki brothers.

baje je slikovito in nabrito

To many complicated terms and twisted meanings to describe simple/obvious things. It is kind of hard to follow. Stopped after the second chapter, although I was interested in 9th.
