@dalias @lanodan @leoluk @GossiTheDog I'd add "not need to download everything on every use", the way JS and docker runtimes like. We've grown complacent from high bandwidth downloads and the honesty of the majority of developers.

So looking forward to the first crypto-drainer attack which acquires the US treasury crypto assets and that post mortem which will follow.

@dalias @leoluk @GossiTheDog at the very least, lets check GPG signatures rather than just SHA checksums

@thomasfuchs and of course everyone with this shouldn't be allowed to compete in the male category in sports as it gives them an unfair advantage.

@mekkaokereke @craignicol I can't believe that in the US it is somehow viewed unmanly to eat ice cream outdoors. Indeed, I recall that very nice gelateria in downtown Mountain View was always popular –though I never took a note of the demographics of the customers.

Here in Europe, we are proud to eat our ice creams. Not sure about hugging in Britain though.

@mekkaokereke @craignicol what is this "see a doctor" thing that you talk about?

@mattly next they will want your phone number for 7x24 security escalations.

@mekkaokereke I think this is why there’s so much resistance to speed/red light cameras by the ruling classes. Cameras don’t show class/race bias other than in choice of placement, and you can’t get away from a ticket by announcing that your are a politician, judge, police officer.
For everyone else: cameras don’t pick on people based on ethnicity or vehicle type, claim they smelt marijuana, and in the US: kill people.
Automation is more egalitarian

Camera placement though: political

@robpike there are only two outcomes of software
1. -it dies, either forgotten or wistfully remembered
2 -future maintainers curse your name, your design decisions and your implementation
Really, death is the ultimate outcome of nearly all code (*). The only question is: how many people curse your name first?
(*),vi and tex are probably immortal. Maybe excel too, sadly

@thomasfuchs well. The Enron email graph kept everyone analysing organisational communication structures for years. It’s time for a refresh which includes Slack messages and zoom meeting transcripts
