Habe gerade eine ältere Mitreisende in die falsche Bahn gelotst, weil ich mich auf das FIS und nicht auf mein Bauchgefühl / Erfahrung verlassen habe. Fühlt sich echt mies an.

Stellt euch vor, ihr könntet mit mir daran arbeiten, pretix bekannter und erfolgreicher zu machen und die langfristige Zukunft des Projektes zu sichern.

Wem würdet ihr das erzählen, wo würdet ihr es verbreiten? Freue mich über RT's und Vorschläge – das ist Neuland für uns! :)

@joeyh Fossil-scm is an attempt to bundle issue tracking, wikis, comments etc. along with a version control system. Everything goes into the same repository. Everyone who clones a fossil repository has a full copy of the website along with the code (think git + GitHub both being in the repository itself).

I was using it for a pet project but didn't try it with a team.

Fritz Bauer, der Staatsanwalt des Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozesses, der diesen nicht nur geführt, sondern vor allem angeleiert hat. Falls ihr ihn nicht kennt:

- Heribert Prantl über Fritz Bauer (2015). Lest. http://www.sueddeutsche.de/leben/historie-ein-erschuetterer-1.2702040
- Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Bauer
- Der Dokumentarfilm "Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer" (2015) ist derzeit in der ARD-Mediathek zu sehen. https://www.daserste.de/unterhaltung/film/filmmittwoch-im-ersten/videos/der-staat-gegen-fritz-bauer-video-102.html
- Kam auch vor im ausgezeichneten "Im Labyrinth des Schweigens" und "Die Akte General".

Just to chip in here and add: this frames the "victory condition" nicely. The goal of crypto is to make it too costly for State Actors to pick targets without careful consideration. If attacking you with certainty costs them 0.01c, they'll hit everyone. If it's 1c, they'll automate it. If it's 100, a human analyst will decide. 10,000, and it's a committee.

@gittaca Wie viele Redewendungen ist sie nur so für sich genommen, als Rechtfertigung sinnlos. Glaube es ist in einem Sagan Buch, wo er ein paar Redewendungen aufzählt und das entsprechende Gegenstück dazu, was das Gegenteil aussagt, um eben zu zeigen, dass die "Weishheit"in Redewendungen sehr begrenzt ist.

Aber mein favorite ist immer noch "Zeit heilt alle Wunden". Das ist eine der wenigen Redewendungen, die so gut wie immer stimmt, die der/die Betroffene in der Regel aber nicht hören will^^

Dungeons & Dragons is in the business of selling fantasy. Not the stuff with the magic and monsters -- the part where you *actually believe* that you and several other likeminded adults will be able to coordinate your schedules on a regular basis.

Just ruined a perfectly good discussion by telling an ancom enthusiast that evil can exist without capitalism and that mankind has been evil even before the invention of money.

Damn. I really liked some parts of that discussion.

How do I become member of a mail-based think tank?

Last week I learned ...

(programing) Language design question:

In natural languages, it is common to say something like: "If the student is in 8th or 9th grade, then they eat at 12:30."

I would think that this could be expressed in pseudocode as:

`if (grade == 8 or 9) {
lunchTime = "12:30";
}`

However, I've never seen a language that lets you say that. Instead, you are forced to be more verbose:

`if (grade == 8 or grade == 9) {
lunchTime = "12:30";
}`

Is there a reason the first can't be allowed?

OK, Apple people, I have a question and I'm hoping you can help me.

My wife's work computer won't start. It's a Macbook Air, and we're just trying to do some initial triage before taking it to their IT group.

It shows the logo and the progress bar fills all the way, but it doesn't go further.

I've tried booting in safe mode and I've tried resetting the SMC firmware (not sure this was required).

Anything else I should try (keeping in mind I have nothing but a power cord and a laptop here)?

@gittaca @codesections Those both look promising, thanks.

Rather than hiding complexity, I think of the challenge (in #Git and coding in general) as designing clean abstractions. A well-designed abstraction not only hides complexity, it makes the complexity irrelevant to outsiders.

If I want to hack on my version control code, then I need to understand its internal data structures. If I just want to *use* version control then the commands themselves are all I need to grok.
