@loke The only windows I tolerate these days is running in a VM, so its cries for attention in the form of updates, patronizing error messages, phoning home tendencies and general self-importance is nicely contained where it can be easily ignored.

Latest progress on my programming language: Some basic APL functionality has been implemented (such as ⍴, ⍳, ¨).

The main thing that sets my language apart from APL is that it's lazy evaluated. That is essential when working with large arrays. An operation such as ⍉ or two-argument ⍴ are very cheap in terms of CPU usage.

I've also started building a simple user interface for it.

@loke Also like the awesome classic light-blue striped continuous paper style ("pyjama") in the interpreter. Looking forward to try your programming language.

@loke I tried some test code for primes with GNU APL, dense syntax (even if a bit slow), interesting, first time I tried:
R ← 100
(~R∊R∘.×R)/R←1↓ιR
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97

The Trump admin has spent $654 million in “aid” to overthrow Venezuela’s government, including $435 million through USAID and $128 million directly to Juan Guaidó and his corrupt coup administration — all while imposing crippling austerity at home.

A US citizen was just detained and interrogated by DHS agents about the anti-war movement and its solidarity with Venezuela.

@MaxBlumenthal@twitter.com on the Trump administration's chilling witch hunt against Americans who resist its economic warfare and coups:

So just posted his new logo for the "United States Space Force"... apparently we are now officially in the United Federation of Planets, just without all that non-intervention equality nonsense.

@zlaxy Who knows, maybe this discussion will help them improve their behaviour, stranger things have happened.

@zlax @zlaxy OK, I'm against censorship and other types of moderation, but as long as there are admins with power over users these things can happen, changing hub will not change the fact human beings are involved. So far qoto.org has treated me fair.

@freemo On the bright side, once it is spinning it will keep going.

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz @kev I'm more concerned with Clouflare's dominance (~75% of high-traffic websites on internet) regarding caching HTTPS in exchange for website owners private keys (in effect silently compromising all visitors to said sites as well). After digging into en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudble and the technical solution at Cloudflare making this security bug possible, along with their transparency (cloudflare.com/transparency/), it became apparent that this is the biggest orchestrated HTTPS weakness out there serving US government.
