If I promise to give you some rice in exchange for money, you give me money, and I give you nothing, that’s fraudulent, it’s predatory.
Replying to @SciPubLab and @mrgunn, @RickyPo

Maybe indeed I’m a profiteer. Or maybe I suck at making rice. Then the question becomes: how to make someone else sell rice fairly?

Is there some magical future in which gyp is expected to be compatible with Python 3?
Replying to @null and @dauwhe
I… Well… okay.

Notons aussi que, selon @20Minutes, il est recommandé de mettre la capote avant d'enlever son caleçon. Ça joue peut-être sur la cuisson.

The worst part is that, compared to most and given what authors use, this is actually a comparatively sane (perhaps even cheap) workflow.

I spend inordinate amounts of time untangling jewellery for the other people of this house. Is there a hack I should know to avoid this?
Replying to @Trinart
Hahaha
Also, @Noahpinion describes it from the US perspective, but the UK's gutter press, @JLMelenchon, Berlusconi... work just as well elsewhere.

In the worst possible muddle. But since I'm the one doing the untangling but not the storing... :-)
Replying to @erikphoel
I've occasionally wondered if it might happen should it become a money-making proposition again.

I could be talked into a small, reasonable fee, for recent stuff. Anything else is a justification of @Sci_Hub.

I find gin too celebratory (maybe it's the juniper's fruitiness?) for that kind of work.
Replying to @mnot and @marcosc, @slightlylate
Yes, I feel it's too early to standardise. It's not even midnight.

I think the repo has all that's needed to make an update, otherwise I can do it later.
Replying to @null and @jwbito
It's arguable the documentation should, err, exist. We did this because we need it (and use it lots) but it could use some polish.
The role of temporal counterfactuals in consciousness.
@kanair Unfortunately I missed the beginning of your talk, will the slides be available online? I'd also like to read the skipped ones :-)
Replying to @kanair
Yes, it was great to meet you and have some time to chat! Thanks for the slides, I hope we’ll get a chance to talk again!

23 is big in Discordianism/Erisianism. The kittens have erased that from internet culture, but it used to be big.

Replying to @null and @SimonDeDeo
I wonder if that relates to «secret society» stuff that still seems very active in that world, much more than elsewhere.
Replying to @null and @SimonDeDeo
Or maybe it’s just a debauchery of symbolism to sustain the identity of the in-group of an in-group of an in-group.
It’s great to see the @BeakerBrowser people keeping the browser space innovative!

How does that work with intents that return something, like pick or edit?
Replying to @pfrazee and @taravancil, @BeakerBrowser
Well, haven’t worked on intent stuff a fair bit, I’m pretty sure it’s needed enough that it’s worth making sure the design doesn’t impede it

And when I wrote "haven't" I obviously meant "having" :-)
Replying to @pfrazee and @taravancil, @BeakerBrowser
Right — for picking stuff there are always alternatives. The classic one is adding more <input type> types that work like file.

Replying to @pfrazee and @taravancil, @BeakerBrowser
That doesn’t work great for editing though. I really like the notion of editing pipelines making for much lighterweight apps.

I can’t imagine a single universe in which not having facts about racism can help fight racism. It makes no sense.

Replying to @gchampeau
I’ve heard this justified ten times over. You can’t fight discrimination you can’t measure. You just can’t.
Replying to @gchampeau
And the same argument should forbid statistics about men/women, poor/rich, etc. No offence, but I don’t think it’s really a complex issue.

I’ve grown more determined with time. Idealism implemented through reality-denial measures is totalitarian.
@pushfire Hey, you seem to have pointed tools.pushfire.com to my IP (104.236.217.230). I suspect that won’t work well at your end.
Replying to @gchampeau
You stop at the point where people refuse to answer your questions. If they won’t volunteer the information then it’s none of your business.
Replying to @gchampeau
We know men in France make 23% more than women. Do we know how much whites make more than others? Why discriminate against fixing that?
Replying to @gchampeau
I know — but obviously polling anonymously and building a registry are two very different things. And there are rules for that!
Replying to @tabatkins and @slightlylate
No — that might make the UN look a lot more attractive, but naked isn’t fashion per se.

We poll for politics all the time — that can get pretty sensitive too :)

Definitely not anything @jackspadeny. The straps keep slipping, tear off, etc. Cheap in all but price.

Honestly, it is beyond me how the ribbon flower is not standard Leviathan cover yet. It really brings the whole idea together.
