@wholesomedonut I can't overstate the degree to which I don't understand the analogy.

@solene is this a wrapper around direnv?

@groovestomp wanna race a little bit in DirtRally 2.0 this afternoon? (In some four hours?)

@edwinb so cool to see that Erlang is finally taking over.

@IngaLovinde yeah, I get it. But even leaving russia and not being pro-putin is enough. Activism is just amazing! A lot of my friends feel guilty that "they didn't do more", but come on, I can't even comprehend your bravery for protesting and doing activism in an authoritarian regime! You've all done more than enough ♥

@IngaLovinde I'm also an extremist when it comes to gambling: I think that companies that facilitate games, where the outcome isn't predicted by skill should have property destroyed, employees listed, ad agencies advertising this stuff should have their billboards vandalised. Someone else is zealous about other stuff. The question is whether or not they have the time and resources to act upon it. Theoretical extremism is funny.

@IngaLovinde oh! But that's extremist thinking! "Majority is bad, so we'll eradicate them all and the minority is a sacrifice we'll have to make along the way". Extremists are zealots, so they won't care. That was my point, yeah. For instance: I'm an extremist when it comes to gender and sex inequality. I think that males should pay reparations to females for the pay gap, and if it happens to affect poor males, it's ok.

@IngaLovinde also, you're amazing! And *not living in Russia* absolutely qualifies. I didn't mean to even question your ethics. I think that people like you are the beacon of light for the prekrassnaya rossiya budushchego. ♥

BTW, tying it all together: if you have any anti-putin friends who consider the option to move to Latvia, I can arrange a flat from friendly working class landlords, legality nonwithstanding :-)

@IngaLovinde yup, 100% agree with you. I didn't run the numbers on ethical landlordship though. I guess my point was that extremists (socialist, anti-Russian) will reject it anyway because of the majority argument. FTR, I think that "eat the rich" extremists would better not live in the citites if they want to be intellectually sound :-)

@IngaLovinde landlords=bad comes from the observed reality, not mental experiments. It's clear that some Russians that oppose the regime exist, but there's sub-1% of them, so russian=bad is almost good science.

https://anchor.fm/functionalfutures/episodes/Carp-with-Erik-Svedang-e1l7iso I think, #functionalfutures peaked with this podcast episode.

@groovestomp hi! How's it going for you?

@oppen interesting. I liked his work and an odd QI.

@oppen huh? What's wrong with him?
