Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

@balrogboogie Doesn't LuaJIT require basically wiring in a Lua runtime into the 'host' codebase? What I'm thinking of is something that integrates cleanly enough that you could simply hand someone a .so and say "here you go" and it looks like any other C-style library, and similarly 'obvious' integration for other languages.
Wanted: a language that is similarly easy to work with as JS, has automatic memory management, has similar (or better) performance, and whose code can be embedded in codebases in arbitrary other languages (including C/C++) with minimal integration overhead. 
(Note: *all* of the properties must be satisfied. "Most" properties isn't useful here!)

transport operator: i cannot give you the link to our GTFS file but i can give you a file in either json, csv, parquet or excel format that contains 4 cells, 2 header and two values, the second value holds the link to the GTFS file

This is amazing work by @alshafei and team. You can search by company, country and funding entity, and learn things like:
"safeXai is the entity that has quietly resumed the operations of Banjo, a digital surveillance company whose founder, Damien Patton, was a former Ku Klux Klan member who’d participated in a 1990 drive-by shooting of a synagogue near Nashville, Tennessee."

Bakfiets with trailer, the real Dutch 🛻
Perhaps we should be building better developer tools for the people making intricate spreadsheets and repurposed tools, rather than for the people making exploitative platforms, live services and cash grabs
@pascaline Oef, ja, dat is wel wat intenser dan mijn geval. In mijn geval was het alleen maar een onredelijk veeleisende klant.
Wel bijzonder. Heb dat inderdaad nog nooit eerder gehoord! Maar ik snap de keus van die jurist wel helemaal, ethisch gezien is het zeker de juiste keuze geweest.
mention of food
I seem to have an uncanny ability to come downstairs into the kitchen any time food is being made, regardless of what time it is being made at.
Now that might be explainable by smell, if it weren't for the fact that most of these times I'm going downstairs for a very specific reason that is completely unrelated to food!

RIVM, even kort samengevat:
sinds Sars-Cov-2 zijn intree heeft gemaakt verwachten we een hogere sterfte dus vanaf nu is oversterfte (vooralsnog) alleen dat wat daar nog boven zit.
@vlrny Thinking about it a bit more, I guess this could be summarized as "place an ad that asks exactly the thing you're looking for, particularly with the details people wouldn't normally assume".
It'll lower the response rate, but also means the people responding will be those who are already on board with the idea. Saves a lot of spoons in negotiating afterwards.
@pascaline Yep, zelfde verhaal hier. Dan twijfel je toch even, ben ik nu te paranoide? Moet ik ze niet toch een kans geven, en kijken waar het schip strandt?
Maar nee hoor, het liep uit op eindeloos gezeik en onredelijke eisen die buiten het contract gingen, en niet veel later heb ik het contract opgezegd. Had blijkbaar gewoon naar m'n intuitie moeten luisteren 🙂
@vlrny (The only personal related experience I have here is in hiring a cleaner; I just placed a classified ad, and made it explicit in the ad that it is needed for health reasons, and that wearing a mask is a requirement.
Second response to the ad was a 'hit', and I had them name a reasonable price and ensured it was higher than a cleaning company would pay. I usually round up the payments.)
@vlrny I've seen the term 'buddy' used (often prefixed with the specific condition/disability/circumstance/etc. it applies to) in some social programs in NL for a very similar concept, although they are usually paid by the local government rather than by the person receiving help.
The "walks in the trees" would be the defining line here between "personal assistant" and "buddy" I think, here, as it highlights that the intention is social/mental support rather than outsourcing boring stuff by wealthy folks.
@pascaline Heh, als ik de horrorverhalen van een hoop andere mensen hoor, is dat bij professionele klanten zeker niet altijd anders, helaas... ligt er denk ik ook vooral aan hoe goed de klant/vereniging/etc. snapt hoe je een samenwerking soepel laat verlopen!
(Zelf ben ik freelancer en filter ik doorgaans vooraf op klanten die dit soort zaken niet op orde hebben. Is meestal al heel vroeg in het proces duidelijk.)
Increasingly convinced that communication and writing/speaking/etc. should be considered a mandatory skill for software development outside personal projects.
(Note: that *does not* imply the use of 'standard' language, or even necessarily words. The point here is that you understand how to make yourself understandable to others, not what language or dialect or spelling you use to do so.)
@clarfonthey AFAIK for the license evaluation they consider the entirety of the codebase (including dependencies) so "other licenses" should already be covered, though it's been a while since I've looked at this in detail.
The maintenance/support status would certainly be useful information. I can see why they haven't done that yet - unlike license information, it's a moving target that changes over time and keeps changing in sometimes hard-to-track ways. I'm not sure that I consider that a good enough reason not to do it.

i fucking wish android had proper audio routing like linux...
i wanna play a game while listening to a podcast, but the game doesn't have a mute option
on linux, i could just pop open pavucontrol and click one button, but here, i'm simply fucked, unless i wanna mod the apk.
@pascaline Ah, dat is wel mooi dan. Dat heb ik ook wel vaak anders gezien :) Is inderdaad heel prettig als je gewoon constructief samen tot een goed resultaat kunt komen!

@gabboman@app.wafrn.net @vkc It's not quite clear that this is the case. Although Apple is almost certainly being shitty about this (as they do), I've also seen various comments to the effect of "that was a very effective way to hide their own billing model changes", though haven't had time to look into those in detail.
I'm getting very strong impressions of "both parties are shitty" on this one. Kind of like the whole AWS vs. ElasticSearch thing.
