    So there's a new star wars movie apparently. Unless it features Kyle Katarn I don't think I'll do more with it than notice that it has appeared.

    @maiyannah @gameragodzilla Disney, cause AAA game publishers are amateurs at publicity.

    Having more experience with Powershell I have to say it's quite a pleasant experience as long as you stay in Powershell World where things are done the Powershell Way. But as soon as you need to interact with utilities not written for Powershell, like the .NET Core CLI things become more difficult. For example `export ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development` in bash is written `[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT", "Development")`. That's right, you cannot set an environment variable for child processes without calling into the .NET stdlib.

    Looking at articles about Ada I can't help but think that the problem with Ada is not the language as such but the excessive verbose syntax around it. I mean, I get it, it helps in corporate environments. But the syntax really does scare off people even though with a more convenient syntax the features may well catch on. And compared to some languages like Rust Ada is pretty easy to learn while going a long way towards safety. I'd even say Ada is a lot safer than Rust in many aspects, just not with regard to memory.

    @purplehippo Seems like a development SNAFU. I can see why a keylogger would be useful to have while testing stuff and I can imagine people compiling it into release mode so they can debug what went wrong when testers report a bug. Of course this should never have escaped into the wild and that means there was some serious lack of attention to the dangers of this kind of tool.

    @purplehippo The weird thing is that "excluding Party Girl". That's either a very young girl for partying or rather inconsistent logic.

    @purplehippo @katiekats Yeah, I have the Witcher 1 and eventually got around to finishing it, but it wasn't something that drew me in like other games do. And while I like games and stories that don't pretend sexuality doesn't exist in the Witcher it does feel like they've gone overboard and then some, making it into a literal gimmick (titty cards that would be risque only in a nunnery).

    @cwebber @maiyannah @bob @lnxw48a1 Ironically the less centralization there is the less instance level blocks push towards centralization. The effect of instance level blocks is really proportional to both the total size of the blocking instances and the size of the blocked instance.

    @lnxw48a1 @maiyannah @bob @cwebber Just having smaller instances isn't sufficient (though it is necessary) to avoid excessive centralization. Many small instances that through shared control structures or group pressure act in lockstep are in effect just as bad as huge instances.

    @maiyannah @samis Well as I understand BSD's OpenBSD isn't really the one you want for compatibility with hardware, NetBSD is well known to care a lot about that. OpenBSD mostly cares about security.

    @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage @bob I agree. Unfortunately the UK had a rather convincing argument in the past: give us special treatment or we'll exit the EU and you don't want countries to exit the EU. The special arrangement between the UK and the EU seems to have benefited the upper class more than anything while the lower class got to pay for the EU without getting its full benefits.

    @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage @bob Well, we'll see. If the Conservative Party (which mind you from this side of the pond seems rather of two minds regarding brexit) manages to re-apply at least the rest of Europe will have a good laugh at their expense.

    @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage @bob It doesn't depend on UK politicians. It depends on EU politicians, specifically on them resenting brexit and traditional British exceptions that come out of other countries' pockets. If the UK decides to reapply they'll make sure it will be at the EU's terms. And consider, if the UK reapplies everyone knows they won't be able to walk away because it would leave both the Leave camp and the Remain camp angry at the politicians and that's a recipe for election losses. So the negotiating position of the UK would be more than crap and that would translate into the terms of readmission.

    @bob @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage Except that brexit became unavoidable legal fact at the exact moment that the letter triggering Article 50 was handed to the EU president. It is not possible for a country to stop the Article 50 process. The only way to reverse course is to first leave the EU and then seek re-admission. But even in that case the relation will never be the same, the UK would lose _a lot_ of benefits it negotiated in the past. And the UK would have already lost a bunch of prestigious EU institutions like the medicine agency. So such a maneuver would pretty much be a worst of both worlds: you'd get your own populace angry at you and you lose a lot of boons without gaining any freedom in return.

    @maiyannah @mangeurdenuage I don't think that's entirely fair. The people voted to leave the EU. The UK is leaving the EU and in fact legally cannot re-enter without going through the whole admission thing again. The people did not answer the question of how hard brexit should be (because that question wasn't on the ballot) so a Norwegian model relationship is in fact entirely consistent with the expressed will of the people even if a large part of the people who voted Leave would not want the UK to remain in Schengen.

    @mangeurdenuage Not exactly. It's more that all countries want to cooperate as long as their favored policies are executed. Usually the result of that is a lot of negotiations behind the scenes to find a compromise. Sometimes countries simply stick up their middle finger, e.g. Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic didn't take in refugees even though that was agreed. Then countries get sued in EU courts and there's a big fuss.

    @mangeurdenuage Well that and it seems the UK government contains a group that wants the butter and is willing to pay for it and a group that doesn't want to pay for it and it willing to not get the butter. So it seems the compromise position is wanting both the butter and not paying for it. Mind you, that won't work with eurocrats since those are very experienced in dealing with entities that can't make up their mind, that's the natural state of the EU after all.
