@amszmidt @rml @vagrantc @loke The source code is not the only relevant thing in the free software. Access to the source code is only a precondition in 2 of the 4 freedoms.
If the source is the only relevant thing, what are other freedoms talking about?

@amszmidt @janneke @vagrantc When Janneke says they are essential is because without Bootstrappability you can't actually know that your binary comes from the source you were given so it might not be free software what you are running.
This premise is just factually true. Another thing, that is opinable, is if you care about that or not.

@loke @amszmidt @janneke @vagrantc Sure! But reproducible builds and bootstrappability take part in the same process.
If the result of a compiler is not reproducible you can't make sure one thing was compiled as you were told it was, so you cannot make sure it doesn't have extra "goodies" inside.
Bootstrappability takes the same thing and stretches it to the very root of the problem.

@aral btw I know this because I've been teaching JS... if I didn't I wouldn't know about this.
These concepts are hard to find or learn about if you are just coding on JS.

@aral it's not only for functions. It's way more complex than that.
It's a lot of fun.

@aral If you want to learn more about it, it happens because `const` doesn't apply hoisting in the way you are expecting it to:

@dansup whaaat?
Stay strong, mate!

@60pencilgirl I agree!

But I had a weird experience last month! I said that in my class and one of my students (a grown woman) said clothes with pockets made "volumes" (as if it was a bad thing).

My brain is not developed enough to understand that argument. I'll just leave it here for you while I fill my pockets with absolutely everything I need for survival.

Look mum! hands free! (this could be this woman buuuut "volumes")

@60pencilgirl Who decides what is sexy?
Girls with a very thick wallet can be sexy too :)

@dthompson I'm actually thinking on Kawa... :)

@cwebber @wingo this is so fucking exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm superbusy with my classes and I'm not having the chance to contribute :(
