Nice to see multiple of us are on here. > I imagine most of these checks (definitely all $7 of mine) The 0x$2.00 check I got from 10 Feb 2020 was for one typographical item in Volume 4A and one pedagogical improvement in Volume 1, Fascicle 1. So it is certainly possible to still get checks for material that is already published. Since it is now 2020, anyone with bug reports from the typography stuff should send them…
That's interesting, can you go into more detail on those two -- what was the pedagogical improvement, and the typographical item? Just curious...
Sure.
- On page 715 of Volume 4A, he had something like \`a when he meant to have just à.
- In Volume 1, Fascicle 1, there is a convention that the "main" entry point of an MMIX program begins at LOC #100. The convention is established early on and repeated throughout the text. However, at no point is it explained why LOC #100 was chosen (instead of LOC #0, LOC #80, or whatever). It could be gleaned through careful study -- LOC #0-#80 are reserved for trip/trap handling and one more location before #100 is reserved for a special second entry point -- but you basically had to read the entire fascicle to find /all/ of these. A naive user would be likely to try writing a program beginning at LOC #0 and wonder why it didn't seem to behave correctly. My suggestion was to just add a note explaining why LOC #100 was used. He agreed and you can find the added note in the latest errata for Volume 1, Fascicle 1.

node-fetch above all, it's standard, and works in the browser https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch/blob/master/package...
I don't get why it doesn't support cookies but says to parse Set-Cookie header manually and implement it yourself.
there's https://www.npmjs.com/package/fetch-cookie for node
// fetch with cookies:
const fetch = require('fetch-cookie/node-fetch')(require('node-fetch'));Re: Request Node lib used by 48k modules is now deprecated

Oh thank you. I looked up page 715 of my copy of Volume 4A and can see the \`a. :-) I also see both corrections you mentioned in the online errata, that's cool. :-)

I don't think anyone really uses mp3 for audio compression anymore, though. There's FLAC, mp4 (AAC), and free Vorbis (which claims to be competitive with both); and DVDs and whatnot are still using AC3, EAC3, and various other Dolby Digital audio formats. Given that landscape, I don't know why you'd pick mp3.
FLAC meets a different requirement. AAC isn't license free as far as I know. Many devices won't play Vorbis. So I encode to mp3 for now.
MP3 is good enough for most casual uses, and not being patent encumbered makes it easier to use. I honestly don't know why I should bother using anything else for personal audio consumption.
