> And to reiterate: C should finally be a real assembly language, something we not need to worry about.

Assembly is used quite a lot and if you're a programmer Assembly is very valuable to know _at least_ how to understand it.

I disagree, also, that C should go away. Saying it was never a good language is a bit harsh. It's a great language. One that industries are built on. I'd rather read/write C code than, say, Rust.

Edit: There are, of course, languages coming up that can absolutely compete with C. Zig could be one when it's mature, for instance.


Mercuriall's plugins are amazing, too. Their Spark plugin and SS-11X (can't tell the difference on that one) are so unbelievably good. If this open source one can do what Spark can do.. I dunno.. I'd shave my beard.


Yeah, totally. Their ReAxis plugin is a very solid plugin as well, delivering a full triaxis gear + some nice effects, the whole thing for less than $100. This thing is amazing and can deliver a high quality result for every kind of tones out there from clean to very high gain. What a time to be alive for a guitarist.


I'm not so sure people really give a damn about that.


See, I have the flip side.

Psilocybin has been a huge help for me. Now, the first time I decided to take it I was indeed uncomfortable. However I soon realized that I was facing my own fears and anxiety. After a while I found that my depression was considerably less and less.

Marijuana has helped tremendously, also, with anxiety.

I suppose it might depend on the individual.


>I suppose it might depend on the individual.

As with all medicine. Therefore it needs to be done with carefully measured dosages under controlled circumstances so that any harmful side effects can be nipped in the bud.


Well, there was a project called GitChain*; however, it seems that the project is looking for a new leader. Was a very cool idea.

This year's growing season was absolutely hideous for me. Everything was either ripe too early or didn't have enough time to produce. I even had a late frost that killed off a lot my more vulnerable crops.

I decided to try out indoor growing down in the basement. I purchased some LED 300W lights and 2 90W LED's. They're working better than I expected but the challenge now is temperature control, water and nutrient levels.

I'm going to be testing out a grape vine, actually. I'm not sure how well it'll hold up. It will be a soil based solution though, I think.

Hard times.

P.S Mushrooms are pretty easy to grow and sell quite well.


Docker seems pretty useful.

CoreOS seems pretty useful, too.

Hmm.. Yeah, Go definitely isn't going to happen. /s


Emacs recently switched to git. Emacs did not move to GitHub. There is a mirror repo but Emacs itself is not on GitHub.


Thank you for your clarification


I'm pretty sure Canada removed it's Hate Speech law.

I remember reading discussion how to address this problem. I can't for the life of me find it, though.


This is where the original (fairly old) idea is on the wiki: https://wiki.tox.im/Multiple_Devices

Here is a breakdown of the different ways they are considering on how to implement it: https://github.com/Quoturnix/ProjectTox-Core/wiki/Multiple-d...
