I left my Melbourne hotel at 8:30am, Tuesday 29 October.
I caught a 12:00pm flight from Melbourne to San Francisco also on Tuesday 29 October.
Then I caught another 12:00pm flight from San Francisco to Newark, still on Tuesday 29 October.
I have walked into the door of my house in Buffalo at 11:30pm — 23:30 on Tuesday 29 October.
I have spent 30 hours traveling and have not gotten away from Tuesday 29 October.

✨ Sliding Sync at the Matrix Conference — mnt.io/articles/sliding-sync-a… ✨
I have presented Sliding Sync, a novel, fast and efficient synchronisation mechanism for the Matrix protocol, at the first Matrix Conference in Berlin. It's been many many months that I'm working on this project, and I'm joyful it's now available to everyone for a better Matrix user experience!
The article contains the recording + slides. I've highlighted other talks too.
I don’t get political very often on here, but this is gold! And yes, since this election will have worldwide repercussions, many of us outside the U.S. definitely hope for a particular winner. youtube.com/watch?v=se-didBGn8…

How is this real life? Wish it was fantasy!
Ought to be landslide, not a race to the final week
Look in his eyes, it’s up to you guys, you see
He’s just a playboy, he feels no empathy
Because he’s kinda dumb, kinda slow
Little lie, shitty joke
Every single swing vote really really matters to liberty

mqtt: Fixed mqtt.md wording and added clearer explanation. by Marwan141 · Pull Request #15451 · curl/curl
Some of the wording in the MQTT.md file was confusing in terms of how the commands were used and what they did, so I cleared up some of the wording to better explain the use case of each command.GitHub
Thanks!
there is a little bit of actual good stuff being announced too, but it's all being pushed to the margins.
(Best moment, in the Community Maintainers track: "...and now there is AI in pull requests." (dead silence) (from the back: "yeah we noticed.") *presenter grimaces*)
I thought there was some kind of commentary in code with some keywords like "superseded by" or similar ones, so you could count them.
Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.
Hoy iba a hacer un chiste algo gilipollas con el tema de que por una vez es aquí en Galicia donde no llueve, hasta que me di cuenta de lo serio que es el asunto. Ánimo a quien le haya tocado cerca. Un abrazo.
Y aunque por aquí seguramente no haya mucho de eso, la emergencia climática se hace cada vez más evidente y su negación más absurda. Lo que nos queda por venir...

What is "Amoc" and why is it so important?
_________________________________________
The dangers of a collapse of the main Atlantic Ocean circulation, known as Amoc, have been “greatly underestimated” and would have devastating and irreversible impacts, according to an open letter released by 44 experts from 15 countries.
There are indications that Amoc has been slowing down for the last 60 or 70 years due to global heating. The most ominous sign is the cold blob over the northern Atlantic. The region is the only place in the world that has cooled in the past 20 years or so, while everywhere else on the planet has warmed – a sign of reduced heat transport into that region, exactly what climate computer models have predicted in response to Amoc slowing as a result of greenhouse gas emissions.
Another indicator is a reduction in the salt content of seawater. In the cold blob region, salinity is at its lowest level since measurements began 120 years ago. This is probably linked to Amoc slowing down and bringing less salty water and heat from the subtropics.
It is an amplifying feedback: as Amoc gets weaker, the oceans gets less salty, and as the oceans gets less salty, then Amoc gets weaker. At a certain point this becomes a vicious cycle which continues by itself until Amoc has died, even if we stop pushing the system with further emissions.
The big unknown here – the billion-dollar question – is how far away this tipping point is. It is very difficult to answer because the process is non-linear and would be triggered by subtle differences in salinity, which in turn depend on amounts of rainfall and cloud cover over the ocean as well as Greenland melting rates. These are hard to model accurately in computers so there is a big uncertainty relating to when the tipping point will be reached.

People on the EN #Wikipedia keep editing the ill-fated communist leader Musso's name to be "Munawar Musso" or "Musso Munawar". (It's currently the latter.)
In any old newspapers from the 1920s-50s he was only ever Musso. The oldest appearance I can find online of "Munawar Musso" is from the World Marxist Review in English in the 1970s. In recent English and Indonesian books (2010s-2020s) he seems to be now referred to regularly as Munawar Musso.🤔

Today is the 50th anniversary of women gaining the right to have mortgages, business loans and credit cards in their own names.
I am 47 years old. My mom did not have access to her own credit card without her husband or father's approval. People like to think that this stuff happened in the ancient past. It didn't. People you know were directly affected by anti-women systemic oppression.
