#GNU poke 1.0 was released today, after 3 years of development! 🎉
http://www.jemarch.net/poke

Poke is a binary editor, but it’s also a programming language that allows you to define data types and their layout. Sorta like Bytestructures in #Scheme, but on steroid!

@kzimmermann
Thanks Klaus. Now comes the fun part, #printing and #disributing.

Retail printers can be quite expensive but the #commercialPrinters do things differently, people may be surprised by how affordable they might be to print!

Yes, #qotoDotOrg do seem to have a range of online services on offer, and we are thankful.

"I'm struggling to put my shock into words. I've been around. There's engineering. There's academia. But this falls into straight-up wizardry."

Language/Mental Hack #423

Zealot speculators of crypto-currencies like to call their assets/obsessions "crypto".

It is misleading, as "#crypto" usually means "#cryptography", a useful science! It therefore brings confusion, associating cryptography with the speculative gambling of a few privileged people.

I decided that to balance that, i would only refer to "crypto-currencies" as "currencies", in order to emphasize their monetary/financial nature.

Words matter.

What are we waiting for to get rid of #Signal? Do we prefer whine?

When researchers find a flaw in the way #Signal #Signalapp circumvents censorship in Iran (leading to identify its users), their issue get deleted from Signal's Microsoft Github and they get banned from Signal's repository...

..but only because they allegedly violated a "code of conduct" by being "disrespectful"!

Morality is safe! Iranians, maybe not... As long as we don't hear about it, there is no problem, right?
