> What interaction does happen occurs over interfaces that are very heavily policed by the OS (think: is generally doesn't happen without the user giving some permission). The result has been a revolution: almost no one bothers with anti virus software on the phone OS's any more, and any malware you do install can be uninstalled with the click of a button.

Taken to its extremes (which Google has been moving Android towards), unfortunately it also breaks a number of existing workflows.

If you follow the documentation, any multi-file formats (HTML documents with their assorted resources – JS/CSS/images/links to other HTML files/..., playlists, videos with externally stored subtitles, multi-part archives, ...) are broken on recent Android versions if you need to handle them in an external app, e.g. if you're writing a file explorer which then naturally needs to call out to other installed apps for actually opening those files.
My Vietnamese friends would explain to you: They are happy to have worked hard here, own restaurants, get degreees and raise children in a system that is largely fair and representative.

There might be the confounding factor of being unlikely to buy a novel you don't know exists. If Rowling releases something under her own name, I'm sure to hear about it, which will surely boost sales.

Although perhaps this was exactly what you meant.
Beside everything we've been doing to fight Covid (lockdowns, testing, vaccinations), there's one more thing that we can do, and I don't think it's being discussed enough anywhere: eliminate as many of the Covid comorbidities as we can.

I'm not an epidemiologist, nor am I a medical doctor, so take this with a grain of salt. Admittedly based on little data (ie. my reading the news, some stats here and there), I came up with the hypothesis that Covid is not killing old people more often, _but instead_ it's killing people with preexisting conditions. It just happens that old people are more likely to have comorbidities. Young people with comorbidities are killed too.

Therefore, if we work on eliminating comorbidities, such as obesity (which would reduce the heart disease too), we may be able to reduce the impact of Covid. Obviously, tho, this is a long term plan.

If anyone is aware of public conversations on this topic, please do share.
You are right, but it would be nice to have a step-by-step explanation of how the tuning works. A black box is somewhat unsatisfying.

(And of course it doesn't need to explain what a Laplace transform is, as this is aimed at control engineers)
In my experience I found the ability to produce a similar functional deliverable (e.g. a webservice or similar) in Clojure as I was able to in my previous language (Java) was the most important factor in my learning and continuing with Clojure.

Guides like this give a quick-start into that world. The book-driven big-philosophy route might work better for some people, but to take your first example of "reduce" being special - well that's never really occurred to me as important or remarkable.

In time Clojure has transformed how I program computers, so the big ideas have settled in. I've never finished a Clojure book so I can't offer much reportage on their effectiveness.

We all learn differently, I guess that's the point.

I thought that looked pretty dubious. Do you know of anywhere to read up on it?

you don't actually need to hit the boxes, you just need to point into the direction.

So, right click, drag, release. That's enough to trigger one of the options. Over- or undershooting are not an issue.

You also don't need to wait for sub-menus to appear, so if you know there's a menu going north, south, north. Then you can just drag your mouse up, down, up in one motion and it will detect the direction changes.
Remember from somewhere : "You are never as good as they think you are OR You are never as bad as they think you are"

Good day !
This whole freenoda issue is a problem primarily because of the control of the domain name.

Who controls libera.chat domain? It says it is a swedish nonprofit (although I cant see any specifics on their website), but the unredacted portions of the whois show it is owned by an Icelandic entity.

Sounds like scope for more future drama...

Ah, correct. He's using asm files for fcontext from boost.context. Looks like those are copied into his tree from boost during build phase, and those files were the only I found. Thanks for pointing out. I maybe will need to test it on ARM one day, now I have peace of mind regarding ARM.

> Keeping humans alive in space on the other hand is stupidly expensive.

It is now. But the most expensive part of that is shuttling people and infrastructure up the Earth's gravity well.

Imagine that our society retains some level of sanity for the next couple decades. In that scenario, we'll continue on the path of expanding to space, starting with a rudimentary cislunar economy. This means near-Earth asteroid mining and in-space construction, which lets us drastically reduce the amount of mass needed to be launched into orbit. That economy would not be independent - it would sell resources mined in space (to be shipped to the surface) and manufacturing services, hopefully moving most heavy industry upwell. In exchange, they'd buy food, organics and specialized components from Earth.

Imagine couple decades of iterative improvement on this. Eventually, humans will be able to survive long-term in space with minimum input of terrestrial resources. E.g. almost-closed-cycle greenhouses that can supply a ship with food for a decade until they need restocking with substances that can't yet be created in space. Such capacity allows people to expand further, access more resources and ship them back.

What's the value for Earth in this? Continuing the exponential growth past the carrying capacity of the planet. The more industry is moved upwell, the more space there is downwell for habitation, consumption and service economy.

Why not robots? Light lag. To me, the challenges we need to overcome to send humans into interplanetary space are easier than those required for fully autonomic, AI-powered robots. If that's true, then we'll have to make interplanetary expansion a mixed human/robot endeavor. The time it takes for a signal from Earth to reach Mars is between 5 to 20 minutes - so 10-40 minutes RTT. This is unacceptable for any kind of serious remote operation, so even if robots do most of the work, you still want human controllers to be on the work site.

Once you start sending mixed human/robot on long-duration missions far from Earth, dumber robots operated more directly by humans - and, importantly, serviceable on-site, will be the cheapest option.

PCR test when cycled toward a certain number just to gain accuracy yet loses its accuracy when cycled too much: PCR can only detect active infection. Some COVID PCR tests have fairly bothersome false positive and false negative percentage (enough to make its own statistic to be that 3rd axiom (of lies, damn lies, and …): it’s the bane of shifty government policies that is being based on this type of test, PCR.

Antibody test detects past and current infection through T-cell memory of past encounters and that too is limited by how long the “learned” imprint of the virus can last (as short as 6-month by some “peer-reviewed” papers on COVID antibody memory. I would be most pressed to see what this aspect of duration of COVID-related T-cell memory turn out to be (but these data are sparse and not quite available to most of us). Antibody is the costlier test of two (also not being more used toward formulation of government policies as I think they should be).

Whereas, Smallpox, DTP and polio vaccine memory have established their multi-decade reliability.

> And the interface is better than Slack.

Don't tell it everywhere. Some people might get offended. :D I agree with you though.
This is false. Many, many IRC clients implement encryption, both in one-to-one and group (channel) forms. That's the beauty of IRC. The client can support almost anything it wants to. And if you don't like one client... there's another one for you to try!

You want to see everyone's memes inline? Clients can do that. You want to see emoji? Clients can do that. You want to have encryption, or voice, or send files? Clients can easily at the very least negotiate that over IRC.

Edit: And by the way, most servers offer a mode that allows you to require that everyone joining be using TLS, or of course you could run your own server and simply have it only listen for TLS!
I also agree an equilibrium would be the ideal state.

But I just don’t think humans do equilibrium well. We seem to have a constant need to seek control or to be controlled.
Not for me. If I'm not working i'd rather do my hobbies, excercise, be with my friends or gf. And I dont enjoy sitting in a pub. I'll be more than glad to take a walk with a co-worker.

That defeat could have been deferred a long time if it was free to gobble up countries and bring them into the communist sphere.
It takes effort. Presumably all of the people involved in Gentoo are already busy people and running your own IRC server is just another task they don't have time for.

Add to this that potential users then have to discover YOUR server and use it, rather than just 'all the open source project IRCs are on freenode', and it's a big hassle.

None of that is insurmountable, but they have to apply their effort in the most efficient way possible.

Even if I was, I'd be dead when it actually came about. The implication of time-travelling morality is an interesting but problematic one. There's no one actually suffering from the act of desecration, since suffering requires one to be alive.
Clearly there are a lot of variables including interest rates, desire for better space due to Covid lockdowns and more recently FOMO.

One thing that should not be overlooked is the basic economics of supply and demand.

Right now the supply is extremely low compared to much of our historical data. This at the same time as demand has been red hot (due mostly to Covid). Check out the data below, especially over the last year.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSACSR

We are seeing the same macro level forces impact the used car market. In that case, the supply is off ~30% due to rental car turnover being nonexistent.
Libera has made itself our home very quickly, and I commend the Libera staff that have worked to approve our project group and set up cloaks.

When the issue blew up last week, we quickly reserved our slot on Libera just in case. Some of our staff were pushing harder for Libera, and I was concerned it was a bit fervent and sensational, but ultimately went along with it.

It's been sad to see over the last week how quickly they were proven right, and how it only took a few days for the new so-called freenode to deal a killing blow.

Had we been still uncommitted to the Libera move, Andrew's actions this morning would have hurt our community more.
this one at least seems fairly traceable (this is from the perspective of an outsider, correct me if any of this is wrong):

-christel sells something that wasn't really hers to sell, which she technically had some degree of ownership over, due to a former non profit being dissolved to save costs.

-the guy now thinks he owns it, everyone else thinks he just sponsored some conferences in exchange for a logo placement

-years later, the guy asks for a logo to be swapped out for another

-this causes confusion and christel just resigns and disappears, the situation now no longer able to be kept under wraps by her (I'm ascribing motivations here)

-the new leadership takes over with christel being gone, and doesn't understand why the guy who ran a few conferences has control over the freenode domain, so seeks to remove him from it (without hostile intent, just as part of regular governance)

-the guy thinks he's being usurped, potentially unaware that no one really knows that he bought this domain and "freenode" from christel (freenode servers etc were not supplied by him but rather donated by other third parties)

-he seeks to reinforce his ownership of freenode

-fallout ensues

The author isn't conflating anything - by saying "national misery" he is making it very clear that he's talking about the US situation.
This isn’t how taxation works or even can work. It would be trivial to avoid the tax you propose if it is based on income from the properties. If the tax is more like a property tax then it would be impossible for it to not be passed on to renters. Indeed, ALL taxes are passed onto consumers!
I am not following the whole story but how does the crime profit anyone ? Who wins what ?
The author correctly states that you need imports to be statically analyzable for this to work. However, he then wrongfully states that this is achieved because ES6 imports can only be at the top level instead of conditionally nested. This is wrong.

What makes ES6 imports static analyzable is the fact that you are forced to name exported/imported symbols individually (instead of exporting objects as with commonjs) and the fact that module identifiers have to be string literals. You can keep these 2 properties even when you'd nest imports.

In fact, there's an ES proposal form the author of reify to support this in ES, which explains this further: https://github.com/benjamn/reify/blob/master/PROPOSAL.md

Not at all.

Why is the domain owned by an icelandic entity instead of the nonprofit?

Where is the company registration number of the nonprofit (required to open a bank account - where will donations be held, etc).

Its all very vague and handwavy at the moment - just like early days of freenode...

GPUs in gaming laptops use WAY more power than even the hungriest mobile CPU.

Strong mobile CPUs like the Ryzen 5800H are usually in the 45W ballpark while mobile RTX 3080 class GPUs can go as far as 170W+ and that is still half of what the desktop equivalent can draw.
Libera.Chat is likely owned by the Swedish Non profit. The Icelandic entity you see in the whois is the privacy protection of "with held for privacy"[0], a privacy DNS entity.

The Swedish non-profit is still in bureaucracy approval from what I've heard from their staff, but you can already look at their bylaws[1].

While very old, Genesis' stories were told by bronze age folks to each other and by an area's local priests for a variety of reasons, much like stories of Odin, Thor, Ea, Zu, Zeus, and Neptune. A broken clock may be correct twice a day, but I wouldn't take it a proof that the clock is predictive sometimes.

Indeed, the stories of Enoch and Methuselah show that any hard bound was clearly violated within a tiny group of humans it claims are originators.

Why are people still using IRC? Aren't there better, more private/secure channels?

I understand that many of these channels are intentionally private, but IRC is still unencrypted in transit, so everything is exposed and users have no anonymity.
Adding some info on the freenode situation -- it did not really came from the DNS issue. DNS was always more or less owned by freenode limited, just that rasengan got locked out by a previous mistake and then took this as an offense while it was just a mistake. Surely tomaw did some retention on giving the access back after, but for other reasons (mainly signs of interference from rasengan).
In my opinion, accessibility should be implemented at the OS level. The OS can, for example, run OCR on the entire screen and turn bitmaps into selectable text, read text out loud, etc. This kind of functionality shouldn't be replicated on a per-app basis. Accessibility of browsers is usually considered to be very good, but browsers are almost OSes, so why not lift this one more level into the OS?

I strongly disagree. If wikimedia choose to move their official presence to another network, it seems perfectly legitimate to inform legacy presences of the same. And it's certainly in the better interests of the community.

Going to other channels and advertising the same would be spammy.

For an analogy - say I have a repo on github. And I decide to move it to gitlab. Would it be fair for me to update the readme on github to say that the repo is now being maintained at gitlab?

And would it be fair for github to take control of the repo so they can pretend it hasn't?
That statement is also simply not true - no accounting of the "FOSS community" is complete without Debian and its influence - in particular the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which became the Open Source Definition, but also Debian itself as a technical work and everything downstream of it like Ubuntu.

And Debian left Freenode for OFTC long ago.
