Jak to dobrze, że wybory do Sejmu są równe i proporcjonalne (art. 96 ust. 2 Konstytucji), więc PiS z wynikiem 43,59% nie ma szans na samodzielną większość. Prawda?

Doktor matematyki i programista wrzucił do bazy danych różne #języki słowiańskie i metodą systematyczną połączył je w jeden. Byli też inni i po złączeniu ich wysiłków powstał język międzysłowiański, którego w użyciu można posłuchać (i ocenić stopień zrozumiałości) w załączonym wywiadzie (pytania po polsku, odpowiedzi w międzysłowiańskim). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BpixH088xg

Istnieje też forma uproszczona: #slovianto (zbieżność nazw z #esperanto nieprzypadkowa).

In the day of #ClimateStrike it is worth to remind that #cryptocurrency distribution by Initial Burn Offering is “green” in the sense that it involves destroying virtual resources, not real-world electricity. CO₂ savings can be estimated at https://ibo.laboratorium.ee

#naturenow #ClimateChange

Considering creation of a separate account for #Ercoin promotion & discussion. Any other #cryptocurrencies present on Fediverse?

#FOSS organizations should decide whether they are about software or about software and politics and society. As for now, their names don’t suggest the latter. The more intersections are made, the more people may be pushed away and discouraged from contributing.

Dzień dobry. Bardziej z potrzeby niż z chęci wracam do czynnego korzystania z sieci społecznościowych. Najpierw o rzeczach najważniejszych: szóstego lipca zeszłego roku zmarł mój Ojciec. Nie jestem w stanie i nie będę nawet próbował zwięźle wyrazić tego, jak wiele Mu zawdzięczam.

Good afternoon. More because of a need than of a desire, I’m returning to active usage of social networks. The most important things first: last year, on July 6th, my father died. I am unable and won’t even attempt to briefly express how much I owe him.

#Mustache is advertised as “logic-less templates”. In reality it contains some logic: a section can be displayed or not depending on whether a variable is non false. Bad marketing.

#HTML

Starting today, http://ercoin.tech is generated using #Zodiac instead of #Hakyll. It therefore depends on #Make and #AWK instead of gigabytes of Haskell binaries. A minimalistic static site generator for a minimalistic site (1 HTML file, 1 CSS file).

#Ercoin #web

Why using #Haskell / #Hakyll to compile a simple static website (1 HTML file, 1 CSS file) hosted on #GitLab Pages may be a bad idea:

• When using Stack, the ~/.stack directory is about 3.5 GB.
• The build fails when running on CI, (apparently due to an old Stack version): https://gitlab.com/Ercoin/ercoin.tech/-/jobs/72181366 .
• When fixed, the build times out after one hour of running: https://gitlab.com/Ercoin/ercoin.tech/-/jobs/72264358 .
• If cabal sandbox is used instead of Stack, another error occurs: https://github.com/bos/aeson/issues/641

#Ercoin

I’ve received an email with a suggestion that #Ercoin should use #proof_of_work to obtain “intrinsic value”.

The problem with such thinking is that the labour theory of value (offen associated with #marxism) has been refuted. The work in general has no value in itself. The fact that work has been performed may provide “psychological value” for some, but there’s no real utility associated with it.

#cryptocurrencies #economics

The #EU #cookie directive is plainly stupid and it causes big losses to the economy (the cost of programming cookie popups + the cost of wasted screen space + the cost of dismissing cookie popups). Yet there was little resistance from companies and from the society when it was introduced. It is nice to see that one company has stood up to this: http://nocookielaw.com/

Z okazji #3Maja przypominam swój upubliczniony rok temu artykuł pt. „Ordynacja spełniła swoją rolę”, napisany do… „Gazety Wyborczej” (nieopublikowany) i zawierający propozycję zmian ustrojowych:
