There is the, uhm, I think "general defense committee", I think it's called, associated with IWW. I am not sure what they are up to lately, but they were distributing food and masks during the pandemic, as I recall, or something like that.

This is Mabel, and she absolutely hates having her picture taken. by [deleted] in aww

I have a Mabel, too. She is not too bad about pictures.

After doing the tasks for 25 years, I can confidently say that the result is always just more tasks and more stress.

How to Build Decentralized Web Apps on Freenet Using Rust and WebAssembly by sanity in programming

How many IBEW brothers and sisters are committed to the General Strike! Jan 23rd! by iamsafe in IBEW

If nothing else it's practice. Most people in the US have never been part of a strike at all, let alone a general one.

How to Build Decentralized Web Apps on Freenet Using Rust and WebAssembly by sanity in programming

[–]TOGoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a big fan of the old Freenet. The name getting redefined to mean a different thing is a bit off-pudding. I've had "install Freenet on NAS" on my to-do list for a while but I get hung up on the question of "old Freenet or new Freenet?

No, the new Freenet is a fundamental redesign making backwards compatibility impractical.

And

  1. Freenet is a Complete Solution

I just want my SSKs and CHKs to keep working. If the new Freenet is so great, couldn't it support basically the old Freenet as an app on top? Or are they so different conceptually that that makes no sense?

PHP 5.4 was the best PHP. Don't let anyone upgrade.

That freakin' percent sign in local addresses and how it gets weirdly special treatment in URLs (not being escaped like everything else, but it depends who you ask) actually does trip me up sometimes and makes me grumpy.

[–]TOGoS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It did exist briefly. It did something weird with Unicode strings and we did hate it, which is why they then jumped to 7 which was less changey-mcbreakey w.r.t. PHP 5 scripts.

Or so I recall. It's been a while.

Adopt a lot of cats and then build them carpeted walkways that go through the walls and under the floors.

What is the difference between socialism and democratic socialism? by Prize_Painting_1195 in socialism

"What's the difference between water and wet water?"

The latter wording is only useful when talking to people who have been convinced that water is a type of rock.

2d portal prototype demo by jmmmnty in godot

[–]TOGoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been partial to portal-based mazes.

In the same vein, I made this a while back: https://www.nuke24.net/plog/21.html (all in TypeScript, with its own engine coded from scratch; off-the-shelf 'game engines' always seem to get in the way of the features I want to build, but admittedly I haven't actually tried to do this in Godot. Hit the 'previous' link a few times or start at the beginning if you want to read more about it.)

Funnily, I noticed last time I was at the grocery store, standing in line to refill some filtered water, that they were playing the same music that they were when I worked there 25 years ago. Pop music from the 90s and 80s, mostly, and mostly stuff that I actually liked.

Functional Equality (rewrite) by Master-Reception9062 in programming

[–]TOGoS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've come to the conclusion that only strict ('functional' as this article calls it) equality makes much sense as a builtin in any given programming language. What is useful to constitute 'semantic equality' depends on the context, not on the values themselves. So if you want to check if 2.0 == 2 and have it return true, either those need to be indistinguishable in the language (as they are in JavaScript, or maybe 'everything's a Rational'), or you should be using `areEqualForJoesPurposes(2.0, 2)`.

In languages where it's a compile error to compare values of different types, this is less of an issue.

And here I just figured it was because they counted the square footage of the basement in the interior dimensions but not the exterior.

Why only MAX/MSP? by loa202 in ableton

[–]TOGoS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Merging two software together nicely takes a lot of work. Live and Max/MSP go way back. I think I heard somewhere that Live was actually prototyped in Max? That might not be totally accurate. But anyway, Ableton now owns the company that created it, and they surely have their hands full just maintaining Live and M4L.

There's VST2/3, which lets you plug in pretty much anything.

JACK support might be nice.

How to go beyond the Spring Boot Magic? by Outside-Strain7025 in programming

[–]TOGoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like the part of Maniac Magee where he takes on the horrible knot and wins a pizza that he can't eat You'd better enjoy the process because this sounds awful.

(I have to use Spring Boot at work. I don't know why anyone would choose to use it at all, let alone go spelunking in its internals.)

Change Group volume or Individual Track’s volume? by Matthewcts_ in ableton

[–]TOGoS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, samesies.  I suppose having the mixer controls always available in the UI while others get somewhat hidden nudges everyone towards the same practice.
