If you consider using Markdown for some kind of formatted document, you'd be well served by taking a look at Asciidoc.
Markdown is a stupid format that cannot be reliably parsed. Asciidoc is not only consistent, but is also provides a lot of features one needs. How about the ability to do tables, as an example.
If you're in a situation where you need to have a simple markup format and you cannot use org-mode for various reasons, take a look at Asciidoc. I'm quite pleasantly surprised.
@phoe list-named-class was recently highlighted in CLPotD (https://twitter.com/svetlyak40wt/status/1299806884493393926) and it got me curious, what is the use case for naming classes as a list? From the Gateway example it seems to be used as a tagging mechanism?
@emacsomancer idk if this is related to your field, but would you happen to know a good 'weekend hack'-sized algorithm for generating natural language? Is syntactic tree templates aproach shown in PAIP still the best bang per buck?
@phoe Did anything ever come out of your reddit call to action? I've been meaning to send you an email w/ my thoughts about the matter but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Cultural appropriation is such an interesting fight that we have on the left and in this country, because we often treat it to mean "Cultural theft" which implies the existence of "Cultural property", ideas and practices that can belong to one group of people. While I don't necessarily disagree with that framework, I do think sometimes it might be more productive to talk of Erasure, Fetishization, and Commodification.
IPFS is a really nice distributed filesystem that is slowly growing in popularity. Netflix has found a good use case: container image distribution.
I'm slightly reminded of Usenet: just download content from the nearest server!
