Exacty. And we also know that the NSA/CIA have placed Russian language inside their exploits to frame other countries.

Please, please discuss this.

This might be the most important thing happening right now and Hacker News has keep it's head in the sand. Lets have an honest discussion about the technical parts of the alleged election steal by foreign agents.

They just started about 5 minutes ago for me. Can anyone else post the pdf to a twitter feed? This is egregious and must be addressed. This is a legal document, filed last night, with strict penalties for perjury and anyone should be able to share and read it.

I just ignore the down votes. You probably hitting the target.

This is of concern. The medical industry has a history of covering up the direct know effects of their medicine, AKA poisons. That system has been know for a very long time to lead with arrogance and it sometimes takes them a very long time to pull things they know are killing people. Its just too much $$$.

See vioxx and merck, for just one example.

Balance.

I was a college football player, 60 lbs. heavier than now. When I met my current martial arts teacher he told me flat out, "it's going to take me 20 years to fix what you did to your body." He was right. I'm still fighting to heal tha damage that intense weightlifting over many years did to my body.

Strength is nothing without balance, relaxation, and control. Weight lifting is generally about isolating the muscles, when you should be working on integrating them.

Do you realize how much fucking power is at play here?

That's not what I was implying. They have control over the pull-requests, the wiki, and all the other meta information.

> Git will be hard to beat.

With the latest kurfuffle at Github, I've started moving to fossil. Having everything, wiki, pull requests, etc. as part of the repo is looking like a good move.

Why let yet another corporation have control over something they should have never been given?

> user experience is horrible

I use links2 as my main web browser and my experience has been exactly the opposite of that.

SPEED.

links2 is lightning fast to browse. Almost every website I load renders in less than 100ms. Every single page. If it doesnt render, than it's a javascript issue and I may open it in firefox if I really care.

So, by using links2, for almost all websites, I get instant loading, with no possible way for the browser to popup anything, distract me anyhow, just the data thankyouverymuch, get out of my way.

Links2 on the framebuffer rocks. Posting from it right here. With the framebuffer, you get images. Hacker news works great.

Is this truly what you want? We're developers, I'd think a call out to help bring in a11y would be better recieved.

Yea, we're arguing symantics. My apoligies. The word "permaculture", nowadays, is, in my circles, a big umbrella word for many different systems. Many of those systems would not necessarily call themselves "permaculture". A big umbrella - "permanent agriculture", or agricultural practices that do not degrade the land, but rather can run on for millenia, there are many systems we are now discovering, some ancient, some newly synthesized, that have that potential to feed the world, while, at the same time, healing past damage .

Sorry, I do, but it is geofenced to the local community. You're welcome to email, in my profile. We're working on something world facing, but there are massive benefits to having a local cloud. For one, all of our communications never leave town. Fuck PRISM.

Actually, trees can help clean smog.

References? As far as I understand it, by personally visiting sucessfull alternative farms that are using management intensive grazing (holistic grazing, mob grazing, etc.), they really do have a paradigm changing method that could and should be adapted by almost all meat producers. The current practices are archaic and destructive and are completely missing the more recent (last 20 years) scientific advancement in understanding how to build soil, maximize forage use, and raise healty animals without the current massive use of pesticides, herbicides, and large expensive machines. The economics is there, the change is slow, but proceeding. Check out the research work at the University of Missouri by Jim Garrish, the Stockman Grass Farmer publication and the farms of Greg Judy and Gabe Brown, to start.

One city government around here threw away over 100 HP thin clients. They run on about 10-20W. I plan on making a nice cluster out of them.

The point I was trying to make, which doesn't seem to come across, is that spending $ on new equipment is a shortcut. A quick fix. Spending just a bit of time seeking out the sources of e-waste in your community, in the right technical hands, can pay off big.

You don't have to feed the beast. It doesn't take much vision to see that the action of paying $ into a system that happily externalizes all damage is part of the problem and directly contributes to the ecological and socialogical degradation we are all hopefully observing.

You can get all you need for hardware for free if you spend the time to seek it out and at the same time, you are helping clean up the mess.

We developers, many of us have been around from the time that 16K was a lot of memory, a 40MB hard drive could hold all you had, and 1 MHz was fast enough to play with almost any of the ideas in computer science. This is still true for many many tasks. I would argue that learning algorithmic complexity (big O) can be easier when you don't have a massive amount of compute that blasts through O(2^n) in about the same time as O(n) for many data sets. Try that on an apple II. A ten year old computer can have 16G of ram and run dual cores over 2GHz. You can learn a heck of alot of computer science with one of those machines. No need to feed the beast.

E-waste is a massive problem nowadays. Why not assemble the lab out of "old" computers? They might take a bit more electricity to run, but, at least in the US, you can get truckloads of computers that were destined for the scrapyard, for free.

One local school here threw away 50+ small dell quad-core i5's in their quest to make sure they spend their money wisely.

I've assembled a small lab, with many computers, laser printers, scanners, tablets, projectors, big-screens, etc. Without spending a single dollar on hardware.

This has two effects, it reuses a resource that was destined for destruction, and it doesn't add fuel ($$$) to the ecological dumpster fire that is modern capitalism.

> the most environmentally responsible in the game

Yay! Says nothing, though. The entire industry is helping to rapidly destroy everything of true value on this planet, for throwaway toys. So apple is rape lite?

In the scheme of things, please realize that 5 years is not "extremely long lasting", it is fleeting and the damage to the planet (and people) for those 5 years will take millenia to repair, if it even can.

Yay! More massive destruction of Mother Earth for throwaway toys!

I hear you, but I was lazy and only gave one reference. There have been, over the years, many demostrations of optimized SBCL being on the same order as C.

I gave years using parenscript [1] to create web-apps and as a sole developer on the project it totally won me over. Lisp macros + javascript. There is such joy in being able to mold the language to your needs and to completely eliminate any boiler plate duplicate code. Combined with SLIME + SBCL and you have a completely live javascript exprience. Even pushing code to the browser, no reload necessary.

Their little tour recommends using a throwaway email.

> we're all just autocompleting

That's pretty much it. I do belive it's possible to actually develop "will", but almost nobody thinks that they need to work on such things. They confuse being a programmed robot with being a programmer.

I beefed up my browser cache to remember everything and have a server in the background downloading any youtube channel I visit. Now I know that anything I've ever looked at via the browser is now accessible offline.

My word. Please people, if you haven't programmed a decent sized program in Lisp using an editor tuned to the task, please don't spout off like you know what you're talking about. Just do the work first, it's worth it, just for the understanding.

Where do you get your information? SBCL has been shown to be, when optimized, within the same order of magnitude as C.

But your editor is also a "computer". Editing lisp code with an editor tuned to s-expressions can be pure joy. Most programmers work at the character level of text files, many lispers work much closer to the abstract syntaxt tree (AST).
