I was more thinking safety via convention and idiomatic usage of the language as it exists perhaps combined with some custom compiler extensions ...

TIL that Eratosthenes paid a guy to walk 800 kilometers to a tower to measure the length of it’s shadow & that’s how we found out the earth was round.

This measurement is more than 2,200 years old, and its accuracy is remarkable

How did Greek librarian Eratosthenes accurately measure the circumference of Earth using a stick, a shadow, and a walk?

The Olympics are stripping Jordan Chiles of her bronze because the judges messed up, she corrected them, they agreed—but because she corrected them 4 seconds too slow, she loses her bronze.😐

Another reminder that Black people need to be twice as good.

For anyone with questions about Ableton Live's accessibility support, here are some FAQs. help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/arti…

AI ❤️ Tuta!

Which makes sense as we're already using quantum-safe encryption. 🔒

We might not like AI, but it sure likes us. 😊

#ai #privacy #security #encryption #quantumworld

Who is the best private email provider? When it comes to selecting the best private email R e provider, several factors must be considered, including security features, privacy policies, ease of use, and overall functionality. In 2024, the leading contenders for private email services are Tuta Mail and ProtonMail. e s m However, based on a comprehensive analysis of their features and privacy measures, **Tuta Mail** emerges as the best private email provider. #### **Why Tuta Mail is the Best** 1. *Privacy by Default**: Tuta Mail prioritizes user privacy with a commitment to zero tracking and no data collection. Users can create accounts without providing personal information such as phone numbers or alternative emails. 2. **Comprehensive Encryption**: Tuta Mail employs end-to-end encryption that secures not only the content of emails but also subject lines and calendar events. 3. **User-Friendly Interface** 4. **Open Source Transparency**: All components of Tuta Mail are open source, allowing third-party audits to verify its security claims. This transparency builds trust among users who are concerned about potential backdoors or vulnerabilities. 5. *+Sustainable Practices**: Tuta Mail operates its servers using 100% renewable energy, aligning with environmentally conscious practices while maintaining strong data protection standards under GDPR regulations in Germany.

Very nice! It might be good to add some kind of interface that stops the server when you're done or re-open the wiki after you've closed it, otherwise it appears to just live in the background and open multiple instances if you open the executable again (at least in Windows).

Got gifted a chilli growing kit years ago, and only managed to get it properly planted recently. It took a bit to get going, and at first we thought the seeds had spoiled; but now we’re finally getting a steady supply of 70-80k scoville chillies without having to hunt them down in shops

@scottishwildcat @hbons these are Apache chilli peppers, so: sun, and not watered a lot. They are also self-pollinating, so you need to brush the flowers when they open up. This plant has lasted two seasons, and it's very low maintenance, which is great because I can kill anything that is green either by obsessing on it too much, or by forgetting it exists the second I leave the room.

This former professional chili farmer/breeder is proud of you guys. If you ever get inspired and have a sunny window or can move a plant in and out for freezing weather, try one of the C. pubescens varieties. These are very hot, high altitude varieties that produce all year and like coastal environments. Here in the PNW they can produce all winter if they don't freeze. They produce fruit in cooler weather than C. annum.

They are colloquially known as "manzano" or "rocoto" and you'll know you've gotten the right thing if the seeds are black. Cuttings from your local chilihead will work too.

@swick @YaLTeR @matt I'm not sure whether that implies that you want to say things about me that are against the CoC, or whether that implies the CoC committee doesn't take matters seriously by putting their alleged personal interests first, or banning as a second thought. Both options sadden me a lot.

@swick I'm taking the liberty of removing a few people from the mentions, in case they don't want to keep watching this subthread. I feel I should do this because I started this subthread. I'm OK with staying on the thread myself, unless you think it would be better to remove me since I'm a relative outsider to the space (I'm working on a protocol extension for accessibility).

I hope this can be resolved peacefully so all the compositor developers can work together on common goals.

@bagder a very belated reply to your 'Rust in curl' talk from curl-up ... I think we should deprecate hyper support ... if not mainly in that rust people just use plain ole curl rust bindings crates.io/search?q=curl .... even rust crate tool uses it. We could investigate if there is anything we can do to make those bindings work better.

yes, it is certainly in line for deprecation. The only reason we have not pushed for that further just yet is that ISRG said they might have an engineer "soon" to work on it. It now seems that maybe was incorrect.

It touches so many subjects including Olympic athletes competing with covid, Taylor Swift superspreader concerts, surveillance of cases and deaths, how covid is not a cold or flu but a multisystemic disease that leads to disability in kids and adults, economic fallout, vaccination, and finally MASKING for mitigation.
