Rise and Fall of Communities Over the years, I've been part of many growing online (and offline) communities, usually in some kind of advocate and/or moderation capacity (I'm just a room owner here). Without exception, these communities are now either gone or a shadow of their former self. This ...

Someone in my town is going round hunting geese with a crossbow. Which is illegal, yet funny, mostly because the police aren't able to find them.

I've seen The Big Bang Theory, which seems to be some sort of AI-generated sitcom. It doesn't work very well yet, I don't think the model got the fundamental structure of a joke. More training might be needed.

My family has been in the photography (and painting before that) business for ~150 years. I've seen many of these test card images over the years, and I'm convinced the humans in them come from a different dimension. There's something off about them.

Franz is a later example that even if ITS were to be forgotten, could still run MAC programs with minor modifications. Since BSD has maintained binary and syscall compatiblity back to the v0.x days, Franz can still be run on BSD versions released weeks ago (v8 in NetBSD's case). Plus both MAC and Franz reference manuals have been archived, annotated, preserved and updated for the past 50 years. They're not going anywhere.

@flawr Lisp. Specifically MAC or Franz Lisp. Because of significant events around 1970, many programs written at that time still run today, unmodified. Granted, on ITS emulators, but still. Binaries as well as source code, still alive and kicking.

There's been an attack (shootings and IEDs) where I once lived and many of my friends still live: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49988482

It's difficult to overstate how significant the monetary and organizational overhead was in dealing with SO's will they / won't they in the past year for us (with 1000+ developers working on 3000+ repositories). The result is a complete and total ban of SO-sourced code (or prose), with static analyzers and regular audits set up to purge them from existing and future code.

Plus, this whole thing has done nothing to improve legal's stance (which I can empathize with - in this specific case) on open-source, damaging efforts that had been in the works for a long time.

MoonScript being the exception, because it works with 5.3, which is why this problem didn't pop up earlier.

mınxomaτ

Sep 21, 2019 13:38

Installing lua 5.3 first broke everything else. Lua 5.3 is not compatible with just about anything. But it also made laurocks install everything into the 5.3 LUAPATH

mınxomaτ

Depends on the OS and what lua version was installed first. Safe to go with the exact command you used to install moonscript, which will install them globally

mınxomaτ

Sep 20, 2019 16:26

(there's a local option, but it doesn't make much sense to do that since it doesn't load them into CPATH/LUAPATH)
