    People not using your browser? Why not just exploit your position and ram it down their throats (like you did with your operating system?) Remember folks - if you're a Windows 10 'user', Microsoft controls the machine. https://shitposter.club/url/1671000

    Doyah, crashed the compiler (ifort). Added some more OMP pragmas to a program, it cogitated for a while, then bombed out :-(

    @thatbrickster Interesting how COBOL is second most dreaded, but now very rarely seen in the wild beyond niche applications. Suggest these are a lot by reputation rather than actual experience.

    Another gem from Twitter:
    How to come up with the (sic) hot new high-tech product:
    1. Walk into a room.
    2. Put on a blindfold.
    3. Turn around six times.
    4. Point at something.
    5. Take off the blindfold.
    6. Say that whatever it was you pointed at should be connected to the Internet.

    @bob @rysiek As I think I've observed before, XMPP seems more like a toolkit to build messaging systems rather than a complete system in and of itself. You seem to need to consider clients and server feature support. I use Wire as an easy-to-setup alternative to Skype, especially for friends who don't have a high technical ability. Hopefully it will federate. Also watching the Matrix space but not sure what they bring to the table. Keybase does its own thing and I'm not sure what new thing it brings to the table either. Too much fragmentation...

    @thatbrickster Yeah, cats can be a PITA. "Wake up human, I want feeding!" Close the door and they scratch at it trying to get in.

    Just finished Snow Crash - which my prof told me to read >20 years ago when he was starting out in VR research and I've only just gotten round to. Sadly it's dated rather badly (videotape??) although I suppose it was set in near-contemporary times. Stephenson's earlier novel Zodiac (and "eco thriller") was much better IMO, and remains a firm favorite.

    @pnathan Stallman is definitely eccentric, but on all the main points he was right. Before Snowden many people didn't believe that government surveillance was a problem, or that only "the bad people" would be spied on. The reasons why software needed to be free also didn't become clear until the abuses of the software industry started to become obvious.

    Star Trek transporter and Doctor Who's TARDIS are simply "magic doors" with a thin veneer of "science" to avoid invoking "magic". Should we distinguish "hard" scifi (science as an essential part of the story) from "soft" scifi (science used as a setting or prop; the story can be easily transplanted to other contexts)? In that sense, Star Wars isn't really scifi - and even contains elements of "magic" (the Force).

    Doraemon is most honest - the どこでもドア (anywhere door) is exactly what it says on the tin.

    "Europa Report" film -  supposed to be realistic but at last moment they manage to "re-establish communication with Earth" and upload a ton of video. How can you tell you've established contact when the one-way delay is at least 33 mins? Ping?
