之前的 Firefox Send 很方便，偶尔用来给其他人或电脑手机之间传个文件，现在服务停了只好自己建一个 Linx 作为替代。稍微修改了一下加了个二维码，还挺好用的。

What will you do?

Bringing GNU Emacs to Native Code; Corallo; Nassi; Manca.

Libgccjit based compiler for Elisp.

> Though still a work in progress, our implementation is able to bootstrap a functional Emacs and compile all lexically scoped Elisp files, including the whole GNU Emacs Lisp Package Archive (ELPA). Native-compiled Elisp shows an increase of performance ranging from 2.3x up to 42x with respect to the equivalent byte-code, measured over a set of small benchmarks.

Wombat is a lovely theme from #Emacs' defaults, but I don't like its colours for #orgmode headlines. Here is a nicer scheme:

(let ((colours ["yellow green" "khaki" "dark sea green" "light sea green" "steel blue" "slate blue" "orchid" "hotpink"]))
(dotimes (i 7)
(let ((face (intern (format "org-level-%d" (1+ i)))))
(set-face-attribute face nil :foreground (aref colours i)))))

1995: Computers are "anything machines". You can create music, write programs, do word processing, and network with anyone all over the world. And you can do them all simultaneously.

2019: In order to even think about using our web page you'll want to download the app onto your phone so we can track the living shit out of you and make sure you keep your full attention on US.
