But isn't that the whole point, that foreign governments perhaps do not want Microsoft to host all their data, users, groups, software on Azure, because then the CIA also might obtain access?

> If it were about making a choice of which web framework to use on the server, obviously you wouldn't want to use Lua.

Wait just a minute, there exist many web frameworks in lua, and programmers who enjoy lua might want to use them.

That's too bad, because I prefer software which looks like it was made in 1999.

Look at how conveniently you chose to ignore the fan's age, attributing his behaviour to unwilling or luddite! Or do you really have absolutely no idea, what it means to be 81 years old? Still, I would bet you have met at least some people of such an age.

> US-stored gold is not of the same quality grade as in the rest of the world

... to put it mildly. Nobody has audited the gold in decades and even its owners (banks of foreign countries) are not allowed to inspect it.

what we’ve actually created is an alternative Linux desktop that uses neither X nor Wayland, this is very welcome news, since X is allegedly "abandonware" and of course not everybody likes wayland.

But what about that meeting that starts with "how do you feel today?" and "if you were a car, what car would you be? And why?".

That is the whole point. Since decades, it has a single point of view, failing to represent the majority of the people.

Deming's point 3 (of 14): Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for massive inspection by building quality into the product in the first place.

> Senior leadership doesn’t know this, though.

Well, you'd think senior leadership should know how their business and their people work.

It seems you wish for a system which would be able to stop Brexit against the will of the people.

Hetzner DNS

Whatever existed before it

I don't follow why it flew out the window. To me it seems perfectly possible to define the community (of an open-source software project) as consisting only of people, and to also to define an etiquette which applies to their 'virtual' interactions. Important is that behind the internet-connected server, there be a human.

So perhaps the AI companies will go bankrupt and then this madness will stop. But it would be nice if no government intervenes because they are "too big to fail".

From your own quote

> participation in our community

community should mean a group of people. It seems you are interpreting it as a group of people or robots. Even if that were not obvious (it is), the following specialization and characteristics (regardless of age, body size ...) only apply to people anyway.

Well their view ist that antifa are actually fascists, which makes anti antifa democrats.

Because status page is hosted on Hetzner itself

The booklet looks great.

it is so much slower to start than perl, that you don't want to run it for quick one-off tasks

In connection to Mike Pall's comments on the status of v3.0 made last November, I would like to mention this post [1] of his, back in 2017. Mike Pall had proposed replacing LuaJIT’s 64-bit NaN-tagging with a variable-sized slot design to support larger pointers and unboxed value types. Also translating source directly to executable SSA form, without bytecode generation. Such changes might be part of the complete architecture change under consideration for v3.0.

But he has been working actively on LuaJIT. According to [1], he has come to the conclusion that, instead of working on LuaJIT 2.2, it would be a better investment of his time to go big on v3.0 and rearchitect it. LuaJIT 2.1 is to be maintained.

[1] https://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/Question-about-LuaJIT-...

Isn't it a bit naive to declare that, just because Lua created a new minor version, it should be somehow better? The author of LuaJIT has often written his arguments, including why he disagrees with the changes to the language, why they should have been implemented as libraries instead, that in his view LuaJIT is still more performant and more widely used than PUC Lua, and more.

As for forking, you can try, but I would warn you that one does not simply fork LuaJIT. Required is deep expertise in tracing JIT compilers, in assembly and in many different computer architectures. Nobody was really up to the task when Mike Pall announced that he was searching for a maintainer, before his eventual return.

You can learn them now, but you will forget them soon. That was the point, I believe.

A new language every year. A language I had intended to learn. Using a different programming paradigm, or a paradigm which I have not used recently.

It is good to fix bugs, but in my team we need neither the "points system” for bugs nor the leaderboard showing how many points people have. We are against quantifying.

I think 418 is 'I am a teapot' so it would not be correct to use it in your case. 719 must be a typo though, perhaps it should be 419.

25 Gigabit networking is mentioned in the video. As for the low density, it might have something to do with their mentioned freecooling concept, which does not use cooling machines, but a controlled stream of air coming from outside.

From my experience, SQLite's FTS5 is orders of magnitude more performant than that, i.e. for 100K documents, 7 queries/second on some of the cheapest 1 vCPU Virtual Machines.

But it is true that a specialized search engine using a more clever algorithm might be another order of magnitude faster.
