bumping the author's chain and bluntly suggesting that others (like myself) without much/any stake in openBSD's C compilers should stfu with the name flaming now, because the fact that it's still continuing in replies…
epistemic crutch token
I didn't downvote you. There are only so many phonologically near-optimal patterns to recycle into things that sound kinda-sorta like words, so you're bound to run into these things. You just pick your poison and hope…
it's a CVCVC word that most people can pronounce and the primary author likes for whatever reason. it's completely fine.
not for the joke it isn't; i am not, in fact, thinking of the racial slur; we all have google (but not all of us will idly assume to know the etymology of a project's name based on this); semicolons are awful punctuation
for prod you'll want mushrik or neocon
A screenshot of a tweet is already a low fidelity capture (cf. a web archive). Why would I want to alter it further? If I needed a tweet to look better than it actually does irl, I would screenshot something from…
As an archivist with work in Svalbard, I'm broadly in support of the notion here. But the 100 Classics approach to media that seems to be showcased in this provisional reamde fundamentally dooms the collection to…
Fountain codes are seeing use in DNA storage encoding schemes. That's how I use them, at any rate.
HN comments are locked to further replies after 2 weeks. That doesn't exactly help. Sometimes, figuring out what considered discourse looks like in a certain area is an unbounded process. Sometimes it hinges on drive-by…

Certain groups have been serious the replication crisis for 10-15y, but academic culture at large is simply not cut out to discuss fraud in a 'street epistemology' sort of way, such as the way security researchers might…
End of April reporting, for comparison: > All but about 5 to 7 percent of the world’s museums are currently shuttered because of the coronavirus pandemic, said Peter Keller, the general director of the International…
Sure, what do you want to know? I currently work on synbio × web archival. Some of us are cooking up futuretech aimed at storing all of IA (archive.org) in a shoebox. Others are working on putting archival tools in more…
I'm running the Coronavirus Archive. Largest thematic archive on the pandemic, since January. I'm also teaching community biolab techniques to people in parts of the world without ready access to commercial COVID-19…
GPT-3 is a neat party trick. But the things that'll be done with web archives* in the next 20y will make it look like the PDP-8. ~love, a web archivist * GPT-3 is trained on one
Is this an EFTA loophole? > It's also not apparent if such a setup is legal in the regions in which Icelandair flies, including the US and the European Union.
Well, almost anyone. If the Progenitors had been startup devs we'd probably be approximately spherical meeple in a webgl tarski's world with "facty" and "fucky" truth values.
MTG: Adam of http://www.mtgeloproject.net was very helpful for my nonprofit's last-minute effort to preserve the Planeswalker Points system. He has lots of interesting historical analysis. Competitive MTG can get very…
A comment I didn't post 7 hours ago (was busy): True. Yet this submission will have dramatically greater visibility than it otherwise would have because the HN facebook bot linked it 5 minutes ago[1]. As a web…
I am a web archivist with an archival project on Svalbard that predates this GitHub initiative. Additionally, large-scale github-specific projects like https://gharchive.org (formerly GitHub Archive) have existed for…
Worth noting here that WSL has some special cursed package installer problems that can often be worked around with nix-based installs.
Most computer users of the first world are barely even peripherally aware of the existence of linux. Within FOSS, BSD holds more weight as a software license than as an OS family at this point. Try searching BSD just…
