RE: kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/1

😬 Escalating *chemical* warfare in (important thread by heroic reporter covering developments live at great personal risk)

EDIT: Clarified which Portland this refers to (sorry, forgot that *both* are in the news now 🤦‍♂️)

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed."

~ Michael and Susan Pretti

i was playing half life 1 the other day and i cant believe it took me like 25 years to notice that when you're in `thirdperson` mode, you can see that when gordon dies, the 'beep beep beeeep' sound effect is emitted from him, so his mouth moves as if he is saying it. while lying dead on the ground. his final words

Kia ora fedizens, a few months ago I was shoulder-tapped to take on stewardship of fediverse.party. One of a bunch of websites that aim to gather lots of useful info about the fediverse in one place. This is a project I've been a casual contributor to for years, and I really want to see it maintained. So I said yes.

(1/2)

Problem is, I've been drifting in and out of burnout since 2020 (if not longer), and I'm currently struggling with the day-to-day, while trying to support aging family members. I really want to work on fediverse.party, but I'm not sure I have the spoons.

I'm happy to be a steward in the sense of holding the site's history and other institutional knowledge, and giving feedback on update or reform proposals. Does anyone have enthusiasm for driving this?

아직 인생이 끝나지 않아 망한건지 잘 모르겠습니다. 그래서 삶이 끝날 때까지 어찌저찌 계속 살아보려 합니다. 그러면 삶이 끝날때 제 인생이 망한건지 확인해서 말씀드릴 수 있을 것 같습니다.

JSON vs IETF JSON

JSON and IETF JSON feel different in spirit in some important ways to me.

For example, numbers.

JSON doesn't seem to put constraints on numbers. JSON also doesn't seem to suggest that decoding numbers in a lossy way is acceptable

IETF JSON suggests a constraint and even a lossy-ness on numbers that has been included some JSON implementations

I would have preferred that the paragraph in the screen-shot, from the latest IETF RFC, did not exist in there

This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted.  Since software that implements IEEE 754 binary64 (double precision) numbers [IEEE754] is generally available and widely used, good interoperability can be achieved by implementations that expect no more precision or range than these provide, in the sense that implementations will approximate JSON numbers within the expected precision.  A JSON number such as 1E400 or 3.141592653589793238462643383279 may indicate potential interoperability problems, since it suggests that the software that created it expects receiving software to have greater capabilities for numeric magnitude and precision than is widely available.
