@mikegerwitz @ng0 I wish I could get a recent-ish phone that has a physical keyboard and runs Replicant! That would be ideal given all present circumstances.

trying to hold my brain together while refactoring this code

Probably doing any kind of automated mass filtering is going to get screwed up. But it's hard to imagine things being more screwed up than what's described for Facebook's internal censor/don't censor protocols: https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-hate-speech-censorship-internal-documents-algorithms

@Elizafox seeds or fiber?

Oh yeah, next SocialCG meeting in like, a few minutes! https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2017-06-28

@shel @Elizafox Some of them are good, but a lot are bad. The format definitely incentivizes "intellectual razzle-dazzle", as in trying to make the audience feel like they're very smart and elite over conveying information.

@natecull it has more than 4000 pixels! It has 8294400 of them!

... I'll see myself out...

@thor There's also a pretty simple supply-side market incentive to keep people eating more calories, whereas the number of calories humans need per day is fixed. So all our food and its marketing is built to encourage you to surpass that limit. No wonder sugar is in everything these days, when sugar's calories don't trigger satiation but further hunger...

@gargron Oh, I thought you said "What do I do"

@gargron prepare to get a flood of "uninstall it" replies

@nightpool The HuffPo article isn't great. The original post I reposted was worse though since it definitely was omitting context.

Again, I'm no Nestle defender. They've done some amazingly bad things. I'm just saying I went back and questioned the thing I reposted.

I think I speak for everyone when I say "I speak only for myself".

I reposted a piece about the Nestle CEO claiming that people don't have a right to water. But I noticed that I didn't know or trust the news source so I did some more digging.

I'm not going to praise Nestle, but I undid my reshare because it looks like it was taking things out of context. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-mcgraw/nestle-chairman-peter-brabeck-water_b_3150150.html

@akien Okay, I'm in!

Here's a hidden gem for video game authors: Dr Petter's sfxr. http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html

8 bit video game sound effect generator! And it's free software. Also an interesting article about sound effect synthesis http://www.drpetter.se/article_sound.html

srfi-34 and srfi-35 condition system stuff is a nice way to handle errors. I like the combination of single inheritance and composite types, especially being able to define a composite type at raise-time. A good fit for exceptions.

@akien cute :D
