@civodul yeah, my thoughts on reproducible builds have been along the lines of ormandy's blog post above. I think the only advantage I can see is where i independently build and verify, but i want someone else to handle *distributing* binaries to my infrastructure. so, my trust is both that my machine wasn't compromised for that build because someone independently got the same result (assuming there's not an exploit in the "reproducible" build system! but I think the idea is generally that you had everything and *can* build offline/in your own intranet if desired), and that whoever else is distributing the package, they had to do the same as me.

My two moods:
“I know we’ve been talking for months but what’s your name again?”
…
“SwiftUI views are implemented as structs, which means that every time a state variable is updated the entire struct object is destroyed and recreated. I read this once six months ago.”

Here's a gif I created of the final few minutes to impact 🪨
What an incredible thing to have witnessed together in real time! Congrats @NASA @JHUAPL @ASI_spazio @LICIACube

Went out this afternoon, after the morning rain, to Ulu Sembawang Park Connector, Singapore. One of the last things I expected to see there was this Sunda Colugo (Galeopterus variegatus) mother with baby on a tree near the walking path. Spotted on 25 September 2022.
Colugos are mammals that can glide from tree to tree using skin flaps attached to their appendages.

@readsteven it's still kinda nuts to me, the whole ethanol thing. I recall when it was being talked about as the renewable fuel of the future, then there were issues with engines not really supporting the fuel, then it was just a sweet deal for senators of corn growing states like Iowa.
now, i guess it's just a fact of life?

@fisunov cool! I wasn't keeping track, but excited to see the results
oftentimes I hear the UN Secretary General's name pronounced like Guterresh: why is that? There's no "h" at the end...

Here is a lab lab!
Our lab here needs to wear PPE just like the people doing the science.

Makers and engineering types, I'm begging you-
1. Don't start a design cycle with *what you perceive* is the problem to be solved for disabled people. Work on what they tell you.
2. Don't build it without the constant involvement of multiple target users.
Hey, look: I got a book

I'm lately realizing that all the cool shit I want to do requires a lot more knowledge than I have or could obtain through self-study. I think I might have to go back to school for real :/
@nemurow no worries. I basically never expect a reply on Mastodon.
Stay safe!
Adnan Syed was released . IDK why, but from the Serial podcast, I figured he was guilty, so I was surprised when I first heard there was an effective effort to get him out beyond family and friends. good if he's innocent though
