"This is a recording of the panel "Realizing Visions of Postcapitalism: A Conversation about Information Systems for Democratic Economic Planning" with Alejandro Ruiz, Jessamyn West, David Zachariah, and Tomas Härdin, on 22nd October 2024.

Event description:

In this panel, we will explore some of the technical considerations of democratic economic planning (DEP). Alejandro Ruiz, Jessamyn West, David Zachariah, and Tomas Härdin will explore their work and converse about how existing organizations might be able to integrate that work to build DEP systems and postcapitalist outcomes in the real world. This panel will explore some of the infrastructure, interface, and institutional dimensions of postcapitalism, including the burning question of, “What is to be done to realize a better world?”

The beginning part of the event will be directed towards a general audience interested in DEP. The last part of the event will be directed more towards an audience of specialists who may want to engage in more technical dialogue. All questions and contributions are welcome, no matter how general or technical. We’ll do our best to make space for and translate between these two domains of conversation.

INDEP - The International Network for Democratic Economic Planning - indep.network

This is activism in action. This is how you be an ally. This is how when the deranged get loud, you get louder.

As they say “speak up, even if your voice shakes.”

Way to go, Springfield woman. Someone get her some metal cuffs and a golden lasso.

Semantic websites are awesome! Among other things, they let you write reusable CSS. Please send me your semantic websites, so I can analyze them for common patterns and write a composable CSS framework.

seirdy.one/ is semantic. I describe how in my “Site design standards” page, particularly the “machine-friendliness” section. The optional stylesheet barely uses any custom class/id selectors, instead preferring microdata and microformat selectors.

Vážná nehoda ve Vršovicích: Nákladní vůz srazil cyklistu, ten střet nepřežil

Ve Vršovické ulici srazil v úterý 22. října v dopoledních hodinách nákladní automobil cyklistu. Na místo ihned vyrazili pražští záchranáři. Muž ale utrpěl na místě zranění neslučitelná se životem.

Ani se mi moc sem nechce dávat babišovské téma, ale zjišťuju, že pořád jsou lidi, kteří nevědí a dost možná video je pro ně stravitelnější forma.

A Montreal borough and Muslim leader are pushing back against the head of the Parti Québécois after he accused a local library of promoting a "religious invasion" by posting a photo of a young girl wearing a hijab for a storytime event.

It seems to me that the mainstream software industry is no longer attractive to our best and brightest young technologists. This is sad. dragonscave.space/@TheQuinbox/…

"It might help if I had any idea what I want to be when I grow up, but I don't. Probably not a programmer, the thought of working on microservices and bloated web stuff all day does not appeal to me. But...what else? <shrug>"

Quin (@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space)

@jscholes Everything you've just described is exactly what I'm feeling. I'm in networking 1, and while the other students are being told what an IP address is, I'm probing all the subnets on the school's wi-fi network with nmap.

Part of it's also that I just see how shitty software is. I go onto a website now and there's a very good chance I'll be met with a cookie popup or some other annoyance. I'd sooner die than get paid $120000 a year to put an aria-live region on an ad to announce that it closes in x number of seconds, or whatever. But that's where the world is going. Shitty web apps and super overcomplicated backend infrastructure that gives me a headache to even read about, and this is the person who read Bjarne Stroustrup talk about C++ templates for like two chapters and didn't get a headache. It's not the coding that I don't want as a job, I'd be happy working on fun stuff like NVGT or Hammerspoons, but open source software doesn't pay the bills, and I'm not sure I'm smart enough/possess the necessary business skills to sell software on my own. But coding's what I'm good at, so shrugs. Maybe I'll end up finding some fulfilling programming job. I haven't ruled it out, but I look at what a lot of entry positions on indeed would want and nope straight out.

Well now.

Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL

memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-p…

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

Apparently some fiddlery went on with the CPU, but even if Rustls is "only as fast as" the traditional solutions, I feel like it''s a hell of a lot safer from a security POV.

openssl-library.org/news/vulne… (about 10-20 a year) vs ... 2 for Rustls. Now 2 a year. 2 as in forever

Now granted Rustls has less legacy technical debt and baggage and is written in a memory safe language... Which I guess is sort of the point, it's more secure. So if it's as performant...


Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL

ISRG has been investing heavily in the Rustls TLS library over the past few years. Our goal is to create a library that is both memory safe and a leader in performance.
