Me: I’ll just add seamless Markdown support into HTML using JavaScript template strings, how hard could it be?
Markdown: Let me just change the order of the source and link text in links. And footnotes? You hadn’t thought about how footnotes alter source order had you, chum?
Written for writers rather than programmers, but frustrating in your case.
I think Gruber took on the extra load (perl spaghetti?) to make it more logical in use — probably never envisioning it’s popularity or endless reimplementations, having predated our GitHub style open source collaborative explosion and probably only ever considering the CPAN Perl archive (at most, if at all).
Well, having met the guy, I can attest that he’s a self-important prick but regarding this particular decision, hindsight is 20/20 and who hasn’t made a dumb technical choice at some point?
I’ve heard him admit some quirks / shortsightedness, but I think he’d repeat some unless the markup could remain natural to writers. The conventions grew from text email and newsgroups, where they were never intended to be read as formatted html.
The other was to make it look as little like “markup” as possible, and therefore, intuitive (the basic emphasis, bullets and headers are easily understood – even if reference links and tables are harder to write/dev than to read).
when they define antiwar and anti-genocide protests as antisemitic they just open the gates for antisemitism. They don't care about the threat against jews.
@prolrage I think that's precisely the aim. That way, the Zionist lobby can cry even louder and demand even more oppressive laws that excuse Israel's atrocities.
Like a character out of a South Park episode, a hulking and enraged man identifying as a woman emphatically corrects another customer for misgendering him by calling him
Some people in #Iran successfully use delta with national email providers when outside Internet is cut.
#deltachat designs are #OfflineFirst using delay tolerant protocols. Messages are queued when a path is blocked. email servers are made for this and run at planetary scale. Messages crossing the border may arrive three days later but they arrive.
Peoples can stay in private touch across time and space, to the extent possible in current breakdown times. Which is what delta is about.
I don’t know exactly what the engineering behind it looks like, but it seems that the primary innovation is to create a “Inner monologue” where a variety of agentic “voices” discuss the question you asked from multiple points of view, figure out what to google, and then summarize those results then verify the answer.
You can see this process working if you hit the “thoughts” button as it happens.
For general questions I have found this tactic works best and it works best in Grok. I am not impressed with others I have tried. However, you do get better results when you seek multiple angles of the same question.

@kdx125 @stike it is fucking amazing to me that, with all I post, the 1/1000th which is paywalled always gets called out BY PEOPLE I OTHERWISE HAVE NEVER INTERACTED WITH.
Maybe I’ll just start blocking them so they won’t have to endure my shabby service any further
So, Tuesday, the cats went to the vet's for Lisa's annual checkup while both her sister Mona and Lisa had acupuncture treatments... This is Lisa being her docile, quiet self...
@HaleakalacraterNo I haven't. But a friend of mine who had the hugest menstruation problems I've ever seen in my life (the pain was so intense, I’ve seen her faint a couple of times - she took the strongest Anaprox pills the doctors could prescribe and even that didn't work, she would have to take a couple of sick days every month from work if the periods started in the week) went to get acupuncture treatments, and while it didn't take all the painful cramps, it did help her tremendously.
my neighbors down the street have a practice. They did training somewhere in Asia for it. I tried it a few times myself. Oddly my insurance covers some visits. Maybe 10-15/year?
So really the opposite of Memri TV ... which kinda just shows that every nation in that region talks like that towards each other. Israel is not part of the west; it's like its neighbors but with billions more in military forces.
I wonder Tuckers angle in all this. I think he's clearly been a CIA puppet for a long time. Is he now just planned opposition? Splitting the Trump supporting base on Israel means we're going to see a lot more justification for digital ID and deportations for temporary visa holders who are anti-Israel. More bullshit like "the big beautiful bill" that's intended to destroy the economy.
I literally gave you a link with videos and evidence to suggest at Tucker might have connections to the CIA. He has unexplained things in his past including time in Nicaragua. Instead of just asking "what?" you insult me because I guess I insulted your core beliefs.
If you cannot question you cannot think. Stop being an asshole.
Nah you just went right to name calling and you're STILL light switch braining this and still name calling. Something is broken with you:
Someone with "connections" to the CIA means they're a "bad guy".
So: Maybe you like anally raping ppl to death. Maybe you enjoy mass murder. Maybe you really are just low IQ. Definitely uneducated, but that's THE American problem.
I tried to give a way out of your ridiculous comment.
Why was Carlson in Nicaragua? On his interview on Megyn Kelly a few years ago, he literally said he never gets on news sites or social media; that he has staff that texts him what to read.
You're the one who accused me of taking the jab, an ad hominem attack. I shouldn't have responded in kind, but that doesn't mean you're not an asshole.
@eriner @djsumdog every time I that no tucker is CIA....he comes out with some rant like at TPUSA recently and he pulls me right back. That shit is not intelligence asset speak
"Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Washington’s Al-Udeid base in Qatar last month resulted in a direct hit on a US communications site, according to satellite imagery reviewed by AP on 11 July" So, the US geodesic dome housing equipment used for secure communications, got destroyed.

@Emmanuel Florac Opening windows is a start and taking plenty of very cold showers or laying in a bath tup of cold water. When I lived in cities that worked for me.
Il est intéressant de créer de l'évaporation, c'est le principe du frigo sauf que le frigo crée du froid enfermé pour restituer la chaleur par son… radiateur. En créant des glaçons pour se rafraîchir, on crée de la chaleur dans la pièce, c'est ballot. Alors, supposons qu'on a des voiles devant les fenêtres, ben l'idéal c'est de les mouiller par vaporisation. On n'est d'ailleurs pas obligé de se limiter aux fenêtres, on peut mettre des linges mouillés un peut partout, de préférence au plus près du sol, car la vapeur d'eau froide va se réchauffer pour monter, elle va créer une turbulence, une brise infime mais efficace ; l'air frais va progressivement monter pour refroidir l'air chaud du dessus. On peut même dormir sous un drap humide, on se doute bien que c'est froid. Et c'est froid pourquoi ? Car l'eau s'évapore, comme le gaz dans les parois d'un frigo. Mais dans un frigo, c'est un circuit fermé, le moteur (qui chauffe) va recompresser le gaz en liquide ou le circuit exploserait. L'eau est composée de molécules serrées qui en s'évaporant vont prendre plus de place jusqu'à chasser les molécules d'air chaud, idéalement vers l'extérieur, comme un frigo par son radiateur. Notre corps aussi est un frigo, en buvant de l'eau, une certaine quantité va s'évaporer par notre peau. Lorsqu'on a trop chaud, il faut s'hydrater. Pour la circulation d'air, il vaut mieux ouvrir petit face au vent (à l'entrée) et ouvrir en grand à la sortie. Il suffit de tester en soufflant dans sa main : en fermant les lèvres comme pour souffler sur la soupe, la sensation sur la main est froide, tandis que si la bouche est grande ouverte, c'est chaud. Et comme la chaleur monte, il faut faire entrer l'air frais par le bas, de sorte que l'air chaud soit chassé par le haut. On peut combiner les deux techniques d'évaporation ventilation en ouvrant légèrement la porte d'une cave humide si on ne l'a pas trop isolée, l'air humide va monter et sa vapeur d'eau en expansion va chasser l'air chaud par le haut. Pour une meilleure circulation de l'air, on ne bloquera pas l'entrée d'air par les soupirails et on ouvrira les fenêtres à l'étage. Un peu le principe du puit provençal. Et il y a moyen de réfléchir encore. Par exemple à mettre derrière les vitres exposées au soleil des couvertures de survie, réfléchissantes. Il y a moyen d'aller très loin dans ce type d'idées. Par exemple un ventilateur crée un courant d'air frais, en irradiant de la chaleur par son moteur. Toute énergie consommée produit de la chaleur : une centrale nucléaire produit de l'électricité et de la chaleur, l'idéal est donc d'oublier l'énergie en été pour n'utiliser que la physique. Bon, pas tout à fait, car l'énergie c'est de la physique. Et il y a de bonnes et de mauvaises idées. Je voyais un meme où quelqu'un dormait devant son frigo ouvert. C'est bien à l'avant, mais à l'arrière du frigo c'est de la chaleur qui est produite. Donc ça ne sert à rien, sauf à augmenter sa facture énergétique et dans l'absolu à augmenter la chaleur globale par consommation énergétique. C'est se tirer une balle dans le pied. Et à l'échelle de la planète, toute énergie fossile ou minérale (comme l'uranium) consommée le sera finalement pour réchauffer l'atmosphère et créer des turbulences insoutenables : vents, pluies, sécheresses. Ce qui est efficace, c'est la transformation d'un liquide en phase gazeuse, c'est la ventilation et l'isolation, mais en gardant à l'esprit que c'est toujours une question de vases communicants. Rien se crée, tout se transforme. Et c'est une mauvaise idée que d'utiliser un corps solide comme énergie, car elle sera en expansion de manière gazeuse à un moment ou un autre. Un caillou de charbon ou d'uranium consommé va augmenter la chaleur globale selon son potentiel énergétique. Et toujours à augmenter l'effet de serre, en se transformant en gaz divers. C'est absolu.
Την Παρασκευή 25 Ιούλη στις 21.30 στην αυλή του Μουσείου θα λάβει χώρα η κεντρική εκδήλωση του Eresos Free Beach Festival.
Η φετινή μας εκδήλωση θα χωριστεί σε δύο μέρη.
Στο Α' μέρος θα γίνει πλήρη ενημέρωση για τον αγώνα υπεράσπισης της παραλίας μας. Στην συνέχεια η ομιλήτρια, κα Ισαβέλα Μονιούδη, Μεταδιδακτορική Ερευνήτρια στο Τμήμα Ωκεανογραφίας και Θαλάσσιων Βιοεπιστημών, Πανεπιστημίου Αιγαίου, θα μας παρουσιάσει συνολικά το ζήτημα της διάβρωσης της παραλίας Ερεσού.
Στην εκδήλωση θα συμμετέχει και μέλος της ερευνητικής ομάδας, ο κος Φώτης Ψαρρός, Υποψήφιος Διδάκτορας στο Τμήμα Ωκεανογραφίας και Θαλάσσιων Βιοεπιστημών, Πανεπιστημίου Αιγαίου.
Στο Β μέρος θα αναφερθούμε σε άλλους περιβαλλοντικούς αγώνες στην Λέσβο και το Βόρειο Αιγαίο. Τοποθέτηση θα κάνει επίσης η κα Ερμιόνη Φρεζούλη, μέλος του Κοινωνικού χώρου Αντίβαρο από την Χίο σχετικά με τον τοπικό αγώνα ενάντια στην εξόρυξη αντιμόνιου που λαμβάνει χώρα στην γειτονική Χίο.
Πολύ ενδιαφέρον εκδήλωση αξίζει να την παρακολουθήσετε!
Οι Αιγιαλοί ανήκουν σε όλη την κοινωνία! ΟΧΙ τσιμέντα στην παραλία!
I developed a nasty paronychial abscess which turned into a rapidly expanding cellulitis. Here I present a pictorial case report on my response to over-the-counter products from my medicine cabinet.
"Kendilerinin hüküm sürmek, başkalarının da itaat etmek için doğduğunu düşünen insanlar kısa sürede küstahlaşır; insanlığın geri kalanından seçilen zihinleri önemle erkenden zehirlenir; ve içinde hareket ettikleri dünya genel dünyadan o kadar farklıdır ki, onun gerçek çıkarlarını bilmek için çok az fırsatları olur ve yönetime geçtiklerinde çoğu zaman egemenliklerdeki en cahil ve en uygunsuz kişiler olurlar."
Imperial Hypocrisy About "Terrorism" Hits Its Most Absurd Point Yet

Do you have good engineers yet in America? I was listening to a compilation of old top gear episodes where they talk about American cars. Only slightly interested in cars at all but the 3 guys are good.
I notice a theme off American cars having shit handling around corners and bends. Fair enough. You haven’t got any.
But then also the theme of massive big motors, and then you get less horsepower than a small European city car. 6L V8 motor and it makes like 180 horsepower.
@wy7usa Okay but do they now have good build quality? or is it still like what they said on top gear. designed to last maybe 3 years made of plastic. like what German car makers now do
And it’s not about some pig watching pornography, it’s about CHILD VICTIMS beings enslaved and sexually abused by sick disgusting elite pigs AND further loss of trust in our government.
Sorry, it needs to be said.

Between 2021-2025, five major reports from major, influential global institutions outlined a remarkably similar vision for how the world should be governed.
White Coat Waste (WCW) investigations have documented how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is doubling down on dog and cat testing while it's been eliminated by agencies like the Navy and Dept. Of Veterans Affairs.
Muslims support the perpetrators 😡 A trial is underway of two violent Muslim male suspects in Manchester, England who attacked and injured police in July 2024. They argue it was self-defense.
One unarmed female officer was beaten in the face, having her nose broken. Police body camera footage shows the officer bleeding and screaming as backup arrived.
Left-wing politicians and Muslims expressed support for the Muslim family at the time. Some Muslims even rioted outside a police station in Rochdale. minds.com/newsfeed/17903306801…
Are all #ISO #auditors this fucking dumb or is it an act, to lure you into oversharing, revealing your process dirty laundry?
Srsly this guy (once again, 4/4 new auditor in as many #certification audits/inspections) is asking fundamentally basic questions that make me think "have you... ever... engineered anything in your life before? why are you an auditor."
Like explaining what a jira workflow is... or what a branch/merge strategy is. Fuck's sake.
Before I retired my coworker and I used to love our auditors. Love fucking with them, that is. Seriously, made our day sometimes, and we especially loved fucking with the new greenhorn auditors that just graduated college and got hired by Toilet & Douche (Deloitte & Touche) and we were their first assignment.
We didn't have ISO audits but we did have SOx-404 audits. (Sarbanes-Oxley.)
So many auditors were left crying and questioning their life's choices after we got done with them.
We never had a deficiency in the 17 years I was in my position, even after Deloitte (and their auditors) were told to find deficiencies that it looked bad that we never had any.
Then there was the time Compliance wanted to audit my PKI so they brought in some auditors from E&Y. Supposedly their top PKI people. Brought on a consultant for that since I was confident in my practices and implementation but I didn't have the same air of "authority" as someone who made a living doing PKI audits and PKI consulting.
Still passed with flying colors even after the E&Y auditors tried to claim that everything we were doing was bullshit.
I hate auditors. Love fucking with them, but hate them none the less.
Edit:
AND YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE OVERSHARING. I used to tell new employees when they came into our group: Treat the auditors like you would the Police.
Never divulge ANY information unless specifically asked for.
Never lie, but don't tell them anything.
And never let them take your evidence away with them. They want to see evidence, they can look at it on your screen in your cube. They can take notes. But they can't take anything physical.
I would love messing with our auditors, but save for the one guy we had up to 3 yrs ago when he retired who actually _knew_ shit, it seems like we always get idiots. Or maybe they're experienced in a hardware engineering concern and know what a BOM is, might know what "change control" means, but start talking software development and its like you're speaking martian. And heaven help you if you're an agile shop, it breaks their brains.
For us, most of our important backend systems were UNIX, Linux, and Mainframe. When I retired in 2022 we were well on our way to moving stuff to Windows but we would never be able to get completely off *NIX or the Mainframe and it was fun to see these auditors that had no idea was a Mainframe was, what an LPAR was, JCLs, /etc/sudoers, or *NIX permissions for files and directories, trying to make their square pegs fit into our round holes.
They'd come at us and tell us they've found all these deficiencies and we'd show them how their methodology was flawed and how there weren't any deficiencies, or they were inserting control parameters into our SOX controls where none existed.
Every year we got audited. Sometimes the same auditor would come back for a couple of years but the vast majority were stupid greenhorns who couldn't navigate the command line.
The fact that all of our processes were automated (and auditable) really made things simple for us too.
..........
BOM? Going to take a wild guess but is that a Bill of Materials?
..........
And oh doggy did we have change control. Ran the complete gamut where every tiny change had to be documented and approved. Which naturally slowed everything down and made the entire department less productive.
To when I left minor changes still needed to be documented but the approvals were much more streamlined. It was mainly honor system but everyone knew if you implemented a change and marked it as minor and it took something down or caused an outage you were going to have to get in front of the entire change advisory board the following week and explain why your "minor" change caused the outage (with the idea being that maybe it shouldn't have been a minor change to begin with.)
