Daniel Mayakovski

Las fuerzas de ocupación estadounidenses siguen robando el petróleo sirio y transportaron ayer hacia Iraq, a través del cruce ilegal de Al-Mahmoudiya, 33 camiones cisterna cargados con petroleo crudo sirio robado.

EEUU ocupa 1/3 de Siria (la zona donde está el 90% del petroleo del pais) y roba 66.000 barriles al dia de los 80.000 que produce el pais, provocandole 111 mil millones de dolares en perdidas.

Curiosamente, no hay indignación mundial como con Ucrania ni nadie pide parar la guerra de agresion imperialista de EEUU contra el pueblo de Siria, es invisible.

By default, #Thunderbird automatically blocks images in your emails from being displayed -- because many of those images may contain tracking code.

(Sometimes these images are tiny "tracking pixels" you may not even see).

Take your protection one step further by installing #uBlock Origin to block all kinds of unwanted content in your RSS feeds -- it's now an official Thunderbird Add-on: addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/t…

uBlock Origin

Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory. uBlock Origin (uBO) is a CPU and memory-efficient wide-spectrum content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, annoying anti-blockers, etc.

I was chatting with a friend today and was reminded of Alan Turing's beautiful topological argument, in a footnote, that every written alphabet is finite. I wrote a blog post about this back in 2010.
divisbyzero.com/2010/05/27/tur…
Computing is normally done by writing certain symbols on paper. We may suppose this paper is divided into squares like a child’s arithmetic book… I shall… suppose that the number of symbols which may be printed is finite. If we were to allow an infinity of symbols, then there would be symbols differing to an arbitrarily small extent.* The effect of this restriction of the number of symbols is not very serious. It is always possible to use sequences of symbols in the place of single symbols. Thus an Arabic numeral such as 17 or 999999999999999 is normally treated as a single symbol. Similarly in any European language words are treated as single symbols (Chinese, however, attempts to have an enumerable infinity of symbols). The differences from our point of view between the single and compound symbols is that the compound symbols, if they are too lengthy, cannot be observed at one glance. This is in accordance with experience. We cannot tell at a glance whether 9999999999999999 and 999999999999999 are the same.
If we regard a symbol as literally printed on a square we may suppose that the square is 0\le x \le 1, 0 \le y \le 1. The symbol is defined as a set of points in this square, viz. the set occupied by printer’s ink. If these sets are restricted to be measurable, we can define the “distance” between two symbols as the cost of transforming one symbol into the other if the cost of moving unit area of printer’s ink unit distance is unity, and there is an infinite supply of ink at x = 2, y = 0. With this topology, the symbols form a conditionally compact space.

Recently one of my colleagues was reading Alan Turing’s groundbreaking 1936 article “On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem.” This is the article in…

Ya sabéis que tengo mi particular cruzada a favor de poner el ALT. El ALT, lo explico por si acaso, es el texto descriptivo de las imágenes, algo especialmente valioso para las personas con dificultades visuales.

Os cuento esto porque acabo de ver un tuit con el mejor ALT que he leído jamás y os lo tengo que compartir.

Sí, sé que es un link a Twitter, pero por esta ocasión merece la pena. Esto es describir una imagen bien y lo demás son tonterías.

Firstly, it enrages me; secondly, it excites me; thirdly, it's revelatory; fourthly, it's frightening.

Firstly... Fuck absolutely everything about closed source. Look at this. Look at this bullshit right here.

ONE thing gets leaked. ONE. Within the blink of an eye the industry is lit on fire, rebaptized in the fires of open source, and jumps *decades* worth of innovation.

Just imagine: How much good in this world that we have left behind to rot in the ashes of closed source; ponder the carcasses of ruined corporations and the gems buried within.

Disgusting. What wasted potential for humanity.
