Janetsh development has slowed and I am not actively working on it for now. Some of it is no longer compatible with the latest janet release.

That being said, I consider janetsh a successful proof of concept and place to draw code and ideas from whenever the next attempt at fixing shells gets my attention.

The Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC), a U.S.-based group, said it had welcomed a group of young activists to America this week and their journey had been “arduous and perilous”.

“The activists, all under the age of 30, took part in the ongoing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, faced protest-related arrests and charges, and fled the city by boat last July,” Samuel Chu, founder of HKDC, said.

To be clear, I strive to be both nice and technically excellent, and the number of times I’ve been forced to make a tradeoff between those two things is literally zero.

The Xuantie, or XT for short, is said to be the most powerful RISC-V processor yet. Based on a 12nm process, it features 16 cores operating at 2.5 GHz, supports 64-bit processing, compact 16-bit instructions, and in-development vector operations. More importantly, however, it is very good at out-of-order operations

In all honesty, the reason we did TPB was to bring freedom and take back control from a centralised system. The reason that Gab et al will fail is because they're just whining bitches that have only one ideology: egotism. Sharing is caring y'all.

Let's be realistic here, this wasn't a coup and we shouldn't be calling it one.

For it to have been a real coup it would have to have taken place in the Coup region of France. This was a sparkling insurrection.

NixOS made good progress towards having all packages required to build the minimal installation ISO image reproducible. Remaining work includes the python, isl and gcc9 packages and removing the use of Python 2.x in asciidoc.

Elsewhere in NixOS, Adam Hoese of tweag.io also announced trustix, an NGI Zero PET-funded initiative to provide infrastructure for sharing and enforcing reproducibility results for Nix-based systems.

Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them.

Taikoo is the Cantonese pronunciation of Swire's Chinese name, while Shing can be literally translated as City. Thus, Taikoo Shing can be loosely translated as Swire City. According to Swire, its Chinese name Taikoo was chosen by Thomas Taylor Meadow, the British Consul in Shanghai when Swire’s Shanghai office opened in 1866.
