#Tehran, #Iran
Women march with a sign depicting the US president, Donald Trump, with bloodied hands during a rally marking the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution. The Persian calendar date of 22 Bahman celebrates the anniversary of the resignation of the ousted shah’s last prime minister and the formal assumption of power by the revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Question for distributed systems folks. Go with your gut and don't overthink it.

What word would you fill in the blank with?

"A distributed system consists of multiple independent _______ connected by a network."

漫画描くときは、まずターゲットの設定が要るんです。
ターゲットが幼稚園児を含むなら複雑なコマ割りや難しい慣用句を使っちゃいけないし、1コマに同じキャラを複数描いて時間経過を表すキュビズム表現は使っちゃいけないし。ターゲットが一般誌に飽き足らず同人に手を出すような読解力オバケなら「どうだ、これ読めるか！？​​​​」くらいのチャレンジブルな表現をしてもいい​​

@evanEvan Prodromou

So that's a completely different question.

If you're *applying* to be a volunteer maintainer *on an existing project you do not own*, then obviously, there will be expectations set by the existing community, which will be different for every single project.

For reference: I write primarily OSS software, but I do it professionally. So, naturally, my employer sets the expectations for my contribution.

Gaza City
Displaced Palestinians live for a third consecutive year in makeshift tents along the seashore west of Gaza City after their homes were destroyed by Israel’s military assault and they were prevented from returning to their neighbourhoods. Residents face acute shortages of basic services, including adequate shelter, safe drinking water and electricity, while tents remain exposed to harsh weather conditions, worsening daily living hardships.

@evanEvan Prodromou @hoberTheresa O’Connor there's lots of python projects that are trivial bindings on top of a stable C API, and lots of header-only C++ libraries that implement specific algorithms correctly and do nothing more. after a certain point there's only so much that can be done before you're just adding entropy

Has Musk suggested putting data centers on Uranus already?

어떤 댓글왈 "디플레 오면 GDP올려서 미국의 부채비율을 낮출려는 트럼프의 계획이 완전히 빠그러집니다. 이러면 미국 부채 상환능력 상실로 채권은 폭락합니다. 지금 미국 부채를 감안하면 무조건 인플레가 일어나야 합니다. 오히려 지금 금리를 내려서 인플레를 유발시키는게 미국의 가야할 길입니다. 어느쪽이든 미국 장기채 금리는 오를수 밖에 없는거 같습니다" 그렇긴한데요 그럼 아마 하위 50%는 정말 죽을듯 (..)

youtu.be/WHAZvNnXSsc?... 정확한 노동 통계가 나오고 있는데 신규 일자리 개수가 부풀려졌고 즉 현실은 훨씬 안 좋았다는것임 (사실상 일자리가 안늘어났다고 하더라) 근데 그동안 잘못된 데이터 기반으로 그동안 정책집행을 했으므로 문제라는것;; 그리고 관세 초반에는 인플레이션이 진하게 오다가 결국 디플레이션으로 간다고 함 연준의 스터디가 이미 있었다고 ㅎㅎ; 하여간 장기채를 사라고 하던데 영상 제작자인 에릭은 금을 대신 사는것이 좋을것 같다고 이야기하심 (..)

매파 연준의장도 못 막습니다. 결국 '금리 폭락'으로 ...

@evanEvan Prodromou I'm genuinely confused as to what the question is.

Is it about taking credit as a maintainer?

Is it about being counted among other maintainers who contribute more time?

Is it about when to deem a project unmaintained?

Is it about when to donate vs. volunteer vs. fork?

Is it about something else?

There is no craft. We are not union; we do not have a trade association or certification board. We're just people who write code and put it online.

Nobody is obliged to work for free.

In case you missed it, Owls in Towels has a new home on Mastodon https://mas.to/@owlsintowels

We share pictures of owls (in towels) and stories of wildlife rehabilitation.

Followers on the old instance will need to manually re-follow (since the server hosting us shut down before we had a chance to migrate, and we had to start afresh). It would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉

@evanEvan Prodromou @hoberTheresa O’Connor I agree that is often true, but not always. Sometimes a project is just complete for the time being, and the maintainer is still available to update it as needed. It is an unusual state of being for projects with any significant complexity, but it's worth acknowledging that there's a subtle difference between unmaintained and very stable.

Gosh, the comment section of hacker news (maybe even the site itself) seems like kind of a cesspool.

It's giving me 'reddit for tech bros' vibes.
