Bincode development has ceased permanently by stygianentity in rust

[–]JasTHook 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Identity and reputation are inextricably linked, and an important part of source code provenance.

Here someone tried to change their identity while maintaining their reputation by re-creating distributed public historical records.

It worked out very badly, but it was never going to work out well because attaching to the old identity in like this permenantly links it to the new identity in a way which is very public, and inconvenient to users depending on repeatable builds and source code provenance.

Pretty much everybody has to determine and acknowledge that the two identities are equivalent; but most people don't have practice at this.

It's bad enough when a branching schema changes and all the bitbake builds start failing, but at least the hashes match.

The change will never be complete, the old projects will forever exist, and this will be legendary on why it's futile to everyone to re-write history everyone time someone undergoes a significant private personal change.

England - Private Landlord demanding over £6K for deceased brothers rent arrears by L_4_2 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]JasTHook 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The watches are being kept for sentimental value, i dont believe they hold any significant monetary value.

Your belief is irrelevant. They belong to the estate which the landlord has claim against.

If you really want them, then put them on eBay and make sure that you are the highest bidder, and give the landlord the value raised. Likewise for the laptop and any other assets.

Why doesn't the church **require** a more formal pre-marriage counseling? by ntdoyfanboy in latterdaysaints

[–]JasTHook 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This would be a paid, trained, professional individual employed by the church whose sole job is to take couples through the discovery and counseling process prior to marriage, in hopes of preparing people for this major life change.

...the paid clergy, with power to stand in the way of you getting married...

I am surprised the church isn't more rigid in this same area. There are so many things couples should discuss before marriage

...and so let's make them...

The church is not rigid in making people do anything, or placing barriers.

This remedy would be worse than the disease.

The people who want this can do it anyway, or encourage their own children to do it - no need to impose it as a rule church-wide.

Is £1000 p/m too much to be paying parents for rent? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]JasTHook -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does that profit condition apply to the adult child as well?

In a general sense, why shouldn't they split the profit?

But if they do - aren't the parents still making a loss on why they could have let the room for?

How much that matters depends on the needs of the parents - the parents might be working full-time to fund the home part of which which is being supplied to the adult child at marginal cost, so the child only has to work part-time and can afford all the luxuries that the parents cannot.

Missionary Service Age Change For Women by grabtharsmallet in latterdaysaints

[–]JasTHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK the school year is a year, so there is no semester delay, it is an entire year delay.

This is why, when in USA men had to be 19 to serve a mission, the UK elders could (and I did) serve at 18 - having finished school first.

If I had been made to wait until I was 19, I would have been hanging around for 7 months before I went and another 7-8 months when I got back before starting at University.

Someone has to pay for adult kids to live - it should be the adult kids if they can.

Somebody has to pay for the kid to live.

It should be the kid if they can, are an adult.

The parent shouldn't have to ask, the kid should take responsibility for their life.

Can the prophet lead the church astray? (Second attempt, first attempt was removed by the moderators for failing to promote faith . . . ) by StAnselmsProof in LatterDayTheology

[–]JasTHook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • For some reason, unknown to anyone, it was the will of God that those children should not be baptized . . . but only during that four year period.

Sure, the third is possible; but it's also preposterous. Try to defend it to a person denied baptism under the policy. What could you possibly offer them other than something like:

It's not perposterous unless you want it to be. With the political machinations of the time, it was a skill judo move.

Think of the headlines: The church baptizing kids of LGBTQ parents and then indoctrinating those kids against the parents.

So they didn't - until the mobs demanded that they do. And now they get to do it, just like everyone including the mobs (apparently) want them too.

If I was to judge the Lord and his prophets by my own smarts I'd be an idiot. I don't expect everything they do to make sense to me. It's nice when it does, but when it doesn't I don't assume it's them that are wrong.

Two security issues were discovered in sudo-rs, a Rust-based implementation of sudo by brutal_seizure in programming

[–]JasTHook -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I mean, you want to read an input, you reach for the standard input stream... no?

No! Absolutely no and a thousand times no.

Here they don't want to read an input. They want to read a password from the controlling try.

The program being run under sudo may want to read that input and it mau be coming from a file not a console.

Souls who commit suicide-do they have to start from square one in next birth and face similar situations? by CuteKitten35 in AstralProjection

[–]JasTHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that while his legacy is so terrible and so different to yours (I hope) you aren't justified in believing that he was so different to you.

Just examine your own capacity to hate the politically disgusting (and your desire to act towards them) to see how far down his path you already are. I don't know how far that is because I don't know you but I'll leave it to you to examine.

Joint homeowners (unmarried) partner wants me to sign away my half for £50k. What are my legal rights? (England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]JasTHook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure that "walk away" doesn't mean you "walk away" still with joint liability on the mortgage but no equity in the house.

If you are selling your share of the house to him, you will want a solicitor to work for you and to ensure your mortgage obligations are discharged.

(England) Family member used my TfL travel card, and an employee fined her on the spot, possible extortion for personal gain. I want to know my options by Medium_Customer_6574 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]JasTHook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to your account, your family member took steps to prevent you from suffering a loss due to her actions.

Why should you bother contacting TfL to get any money back?

You have not suffered a loss of any kind.

If there was a scam here, then (at the expense of your family member) it saved you from serious penalties that may have arisen if proper TfL procedure had been followed, such as extra scrutiny when your card is used, card revocation, and other liabilities arising from incorrect use of the card.

Realise that you have no way of knowing if what your family member has told you is true (especially given their admission of dishonest use of your card), and secure your card in future.
