@jer @plexus I think mac uses the freebsd date right? In that case -I would cause it to use ISO 8601.

@bsdphk Jeg skal snart til at arbejde med sådan nogen i Danmark, jeg håber at vi kan lave dem bare lidt mere sikre.

it is since computers only store numbers in base 2, in other words binary.
This is not always true, for example there is something called Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), which is where each base 10 digit is stored with a binary code. They are even present on x86 (though not AMD64) Though more common in older instruction sets, especially mainframes.

@fasterthanlime This reminds me of a couple of things I have run into:
Wasm also allows unaligned reads, and does not seem to even give any errors or anything, it is even okay with reading unaligned 64 bit values.
And const arrays in Rust are only aligned to in inner value (eg 8 bits if you have u8) And the only way to change alignment is to use some rather ugly workarounds. Had a test that started failing after a compiler upgrade because of it.

@fasterthanlime @eniko This is where it comes up that floating point values are only a approximation of real numbers.

@partim They got them in time for the trains to run in the end. The Danish channel Kennys Film made a video about them as well.

@bsdphk There are some forks of zlib out there the biggest probably being zlib-ng, which I think goes for C11 support and have cleaned out a lot of old code. But is that taking it too far or would it be viable to change the zlib implementation as long as the header is the same?

@LunaFoxgirlVT Den sideeffekt jeg husker mest fra da jeg var på det var at jeg begyndte at skære tænder ret meget hvis jeg ikke tænkte over det.

@charlotte @SuperDicq @asahi95 Yeah if you are from outside EU/EEA/Switzerland you will have to pay a fee of around 7500€ per semester.

@fasterthanlime I always wonder how much would break if more platform had the massive pages that POWER allows, but there is not really much consumer hardware so I have never been able to try it out myself.

@charlotte So there is a few questions now, does numbers exist in the algebra of types? If so what do they mean, and the same with negative values.
(note: I may be taking this joke a bit too far)

@charlotte Are polynormial types not just fixed size arrays since a^3 = a * a * a or in more common notation (a, a, a) which might as well be a fixed size array.

> It is standard practice to publish minutes after review.
Yeah that is also the practise I know from organizations and working groups I have been a part of through the years. The review is most of the time just a simple formal "okay" to the information being correct.
> but the essential problem here is a matter of unchecked "executive" power.
I agree any decision made around the council (or board) is of course not something that should ever be done. Even that kind of delegation of power by the board is probably not something that should be done without a really good reason.
And of course if anyone poses as being a quorum without it being the reality it of course is also not okay.
I really hope that Rust as a project can grow and end up in a better place that it is in currently, it will probably not be nice for many of the people involved, but it is a necessary step.
