OK, that shifted my feelings about Amnesty International from, "I feel sort of bad that they were bullied by a wealthy asshole." to, "Gosh, looks like Amnesty International is a massively shit organization. What a bunch of assholes. Fuck you."

Hi. Are you talking about this one?
(on the archive.org website)
It has indeed been removed between July 26th and August 1st.
What a mess :(
@mattblaze Once upon a time I did a multi-hour legal tutorial with another presenter at a major conference. Since we were coming at things from differing perspectives, we agreed to split the time evenly.
My opposite number went first & used about 2/3 of the time. IIRC I interjected a couple of times when s/he was flatly misstating the law & s/he basically shouted me down. For the remaining 1/3, I tried ripping through my slides while s/he repeatedly interrupted. #disrespectful #GULC
@20002ist So annoying.
Today I learned that #ImageMagick has been slopped for some time. Like many tools, it's been load-bearing infrastructure for decades.
Meanwhile, the #GraphicsMagick fork has been quietly chugging along for 24 years. For most of that time, it's been maintained by a single human being.
That person has been asking for additional developer help for years now. While I don't have the skills to help directly, I can talk about it while I take their kindly offered toys out for a test drive.
@RussSharek would you know where I can find a list of the kinds of AI built into it now?

This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.

Novak Djokovic: “I didn’t need it. I’m healthy, I’m an athlete. I had corona. I had immunity. I wasn’t a threat to anyone.” He said vaccination was unnecessary and that choosing whether to get vaccinated was a fundamental human right, “the freedom to choose.” 🤦♂️
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy What a moron.
One critique, though. I wish he'd knock off the (mostly pretend/affectation) schtick about running over time. It's a really bad message to send at a conference. Running over is incredibly disrespectful of the next speakers and conference organizers who are trying to keep things running.

One month in and I'm ever happier to have joined @igalia. As part of the two-person global strategy team, I get to help out across the organization, but right now my focus is on WPE WebKit, Servo, and Moonforge.
Each of these projects is fascinating, full of promise, and at a very different moment in their lifecycle.
... if you ever wanna geek out about browser engines or embedded devices, I'm here for that!

a bell labs paper on optimal task scheduling from 1971! i hate it https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0012365X73901131
imagine:
- you are given a list of other people's work to do.
- you are told whose work is higher priority than others to perform. this precedence relationship cannot be questioned.
- each work item has its own constant uniform chance of catastrophic failure.
- catastrophic failure is to be interpreted solely as a failure to complete the work item, incurring a fixed "failure cost".
- success of a work item also incurs a constant "success cost".
this reads more like really bleak sci-fi than an actual published work. i am still waiting for anyone to even consider code–data locality and shared resource contention as a scheduling concern, let alone an optimization goal!
