A monolithic and ruthless conspiracy: What was John F. Kennedy referring to? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yes. They did, after all, assassinate him.

It’s pretty funny to see this thread filled with wrong answers by lemmy.world users and those same smuglibs downvoting anyone that suggests otherwise when it’s pretty universally accepted that he was killed by the CIA.

The CIA even did a distinctive CIA-style cleanup job , eliminating all parties with knowledge of the hit afterward.

What for many years seemed unthinkable has turned out to be true after all.

There was a CIA cover-up. The CIA did suppress information. The CIA did stonewall both of the official government investigations of the JFK assassination. And as a consequence of this Agency misconduct, both investigations were compromised in important respects-particularly in regard to the fundamental issues of whether the assassination resulted from a conspiracy and whether Lee Harvey Oswald (alleged to be the sole assassin in the Warren Report and alleged to be one of multiple assassins in the Report of the House Assassinations Committee) was affiliated with the CIA.

Do you have a link to his undoing?

His knowledge of everything mechanical and electronic is pretty useful though. I’ve learned a TON from him but now I prefer Cutting Edge Engineering to scratch that kind of itch.

What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] demesisx 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Are there obvious, inherent pitfalls to deregulation of anything at all? Yes.

Is it absolutely necessary for it to exist? Also yes. Self sovereignty is both dangerous and absolutely necessary…unless you WANT Uncle Sam to be able to put a short time-limit on spending your tax return once they adopt a Central Bank Digital Currency (and they will). With a CBDC controlled by the Fed, we will be subject to money that expires and other features that feel like bugs that go hand in hand with a central power controlling a currency.

Agree to disagree then. You don’t seem to grasp my points and I don’t grasp yours. Peace.

As my rant above detailed, I’d be happy to give up my belongings if I lived in a truly communist society. But I don’t. So, I hold onto my possessions tightly since it is literally the way I survive.

That’s fair. However, I’d say anyone that is just fine with the deaths of >50,000 innocent people because of some tenuous revenge premise fall closer on the politicial spectrum to Reagan or Bush than anyone I’d even consider labelling a “liberal”.

I suspect you should listen to your own counterpoint:

Don’t walk down the street because someone might rob you.

Don’t use your computer because someone could hack you.

Don’t go swimming because it is possible to drown.

Throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

An uncensorable ledger not controlled by any one party is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite scammers using it for gambling.

The digital equivalent of uniqueness is (at the very least) a valuable technology with unique abilities despite assholes using it for Bored Apes.

Just because you can’t see the use case, doesn’t mean we need to stop innovating.

Scammers:

don’t tend to share any of their their source code
usually have an initial token allocation where insiders are given early access to more than 15% of tokens. (this one is a CRUCIAL)..Obviously, the best ITA is one where the tokens are 100% available to everyone at once.
heavily market their cryptocurrency before it even has a use-case (most projects fall into this category)
their governance is centralized to some charismatic Elon-bro that talks about price all the time
don’t let you use any wallet you want (self-sovereignty is CRUCIAL)
don’t give you access to your keys at all times (again, self-sovereignty)
are usually just some governance token or ERC-20 or some quickly minted Solana token ($LIBRA $TRUMP $MELANIA were all obvious scams)
never have a viable peer-reviewed white paper
their code is NEVER formally verified by neutral parties
use technologies that are not auditable
use technologies that are not decentralized

I’ve spotted many scammers a mile away just starting with this list off the top of my head.

For instance, I am the moderator of infosec.pub/c/midnight and actually locked my own communities until I see the source code.

I like the tech from what they tell me. But, I can’t, in good conscience recommend it yet because it ticks some of the above scammer boxes.

The GHC WebAssembly Backend - Cheng Shao - 2023 GHC Contributor's Workshop (youtu.be)

submitted 10 months ago by demesisx to c/haskell@programming.dev

0 comments fedilink

The most recent release of GHC includes a technology preview of a WebAssembly backend. This allows Haskell code to run in many new contexts.

GHC's WebAssembly backend is based on an earlier research compiler called Asterius. In this talk, Cheng Shao, the main author of both projects, presents an introduction to WebAssembly and why compiling Haskell to it is different than other platforms. The talk includes many details about why the backend is the way it is, along with instructions to work on it.

This talk was presented at the 2023 GHC

Contributor's Workshop in Rapperswil, Switzerland, colocated with Zurihac. The workshop was arranged by the Haskell Foundation, OST Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, and the GHC development team.

Cheng Shao is a full-time software engineer at Tweag, where he has been working since 2018. His main contribution to GHC is the WebAssembly backend, which grew out of his early research project, a Haskell-to-WebAssembly compiler codenamed Asterius. He focuses on maintaining the GHC WebAssembly backend, adding new functionality, as well as other GHC work that involves code generation and the runtime system.

Dependent Types in PureScript by Mike Solomon, creator of Deku (dev.to)

submitted 10 months ago by demesisx to c/purescript

0 comments fedilink

I've seen a bit of chatter recently in the PS community about dependent types. Many of us that have been using PureScript for years love it because of its simplicity and elegance, and there has been resistance in the community to build out the complexity, both syntax-wise and implementation-wise, of a full-blown dependently-typed language à la Idris and Agda.

But another reason that there's not much community momentum behind adding dependent types to PureScript is because PureScript already has dependent types 😁
