At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

There’s no simple answer to that question.

And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.

Yes.

However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.

I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

You fail to understand that the USSR ceased to exist. What remains is run by a despot, regardless of your feelings or intent.

I’ve been self employed for over 25 years as an ICT professional, writing software, troubleshooting, training, doing research, data analysis, designing databases, reverse engineering code, writing reports, helping startups, installing satellite communications, rescuing ransomware victims, building Arctic capable GPS trackers, doing events, public speaking, voice overs and plenty more.

It’s a tough gig with lots of ups and downs. You have to be extremely self motivated and persistent. Work comes and goes. Sometimes you’re so busy that there’s not enough hours in the day, other times you have nothing coming in for weeks, months or even years. If you have a holiday, everything costs twice as much because you’re spending money while not earning any, and if you’re not earning enough, there’s no holiday pay, sick leave or retirement funds.

I’ve seen some interesting and scary software in production and met and worked with an utterly amazing variety of humanity.

It’s not for everyone and if you asked me today if I’m better off mentally, physically and financially as a result of this, I’d be hard pressed to give you an answer.

… and both countries are run by despots.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that.

I wonder if the influx of slop contributions can be stemmed by a legal document that makes the contributor legally liable for their submission.

Seems like lawyers have been learning the hard way to be accountable for their slop, perhaps these lessons can be leveraged in the open source community.

Apparently it’s by subscription only…

What was in the log?

At least the thermal paste isn’t too thick…

I think that the context here is important, a formal setting of a lecture, not the cafeteria or someone’s dorm room.

Report, Block, Move On.

Not for nothing, I suspect that if that’s the group dynamics in groups you participate in, you need to work on finding better groups.

Nope it’s not facetious … I’m an ICT professional and I see this regularly.
