From Quran, two last verses of Surah(Chapter) 34:

O humanity! Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely God’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about God.
Indeed, God has the knowledge of the Hour. He sends down the rain, and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn for tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

@pixelfed When would FediDB expose more and better APIs? The current in fedidb.org/api seems very unmature. I was thinking of showing the same information you have visually.

Interesting, apparently about half of the fediverse are people in their 40s and 50s.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that ...

3 years ago on 15th Nov of 2019(24th Aban 1398), in such a day, protests of people without a leadership started against the government of Iran. I remember I had entered university that year and the government had blocked Internet connection for everyone and only government backed instant messangers were available for people's use. Most of students at the same age of myself who were studying CS, had a common belief: These IMs are just spywares which no one must use. I was actually surprised with this insight which my classmates had because most of them didn't have any background of CS and tech before university like I had.

There are different estimations of the number of killed people for that protest. Some sources were talking about few thousands and for some others the scale was lower(few hundreds).

This year, another protest started which in regard to persistance of people, I think it is totally new and unique after the what they call "the Islamic Revolution". Just like the previous protests, this one also doesn't have a leadership but lasted so long(near 2 months at the time of writing this toot).

Because the government doesn't allow free distribution of information, we are not sure what is actually happening in other parts of the country. But we know something for sure: The government is persistance in killing people and arresting them. Even those who are just kids who even haven't reached the age of becoming a student.

In the time between these two protests, I don't remember a country-wide protest but there were some smaller ones like those of Khuzistan and maybe in Isfahan.

I was talking to a friend from that your country's army forces at least don't kill their own people. He said the situation of my country is sad and remembered me the invader of his country is the same who sponsors this government of my country.

There are many components which either haven't been invented, yet or that are in experimental phase. I've created two new categories on the English for them:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category

Bonus: Some of them could have good use in hardware implementations of artificial neurons and then ANNs.

Sadly the twitter exodus seems to be coming to an end. From the peak of 1,333 users per day we are now back down to 322. Before the exodus we were seeing about 100 to 200 new users a day.

ATTENTION MATH PEOPLE:
if someone studying ""computer science"" (blasphemous demon) comes up to you and asks if you want to learn about "lambda calculus", DO NOT ENGAGE! I REPEAT, DO NOT ENGAGE!!! this is how they TRICK poor innocent mathematicians into turning towards the DARK SIDE (computer).
it is NOT the calculus you know
it is EVIL
stay AWAY

Matrix servers that have it enabled (including QOTO's matrix server) allow for ephimerial rooms. That is, you can set your messages in a room to automatically delete after a certain point in time. Anyone who is the admin/mod of a room can set it. That, combined with the end-to-end encryption and identity verification really makes this a win on privacy.

If you are interested in cryptocurrency discussion, a new StackExchange has been proposed which you can support:

area51.stackexchange.com/propo

Currently, you can follow it and submit example questions for this SE. If you have enough reputation, you can discuss about the scope of this SE, too. For example I am thinking if mining cryptocurrencies would be offtopic or not. But I don't have enough reputation.

Last night(Tehran time), students of my university were waiting for the bus. The forces thought they are protestors and beated them.

I am trying to calculate factorial of 30 using x86_64 assembly on Linux. Here's my code:

```
.global _start

.text
_start:
mov %RCX, 1 # counter
mov %RAX, 1 # factorial result
loop:
mul %RCX
inc %RCX
cmp %RCX, n
jle loop

.data
n: .byte 30

```

I am converting it using these two commands:

```
as file.s
ldd file.s -o a
```

However when running the executable `a`, segmention fault is raised. checking with gdb it seems that it is raised right at the first instruction after `_start`. Where am I wrong?

It has been a long time which there is a question in my mind. There are cheap s around. For huge computings on CPU, would many based single board computers like or replace a single ? If this is possible and considering that softwares are equally optimized on and ARM, the obvious advantage of a bunch of ARM tiny computers as a whole cluster over a single x86 would be that they consume much less power, thus they generate much less heat and hopefully longer product life. Also if any of them went down, your whole computing resource is still available but with a little less computing power. I have a NanoPi NEO and a 3rd gen Ci5 M series. But a piece of software is needed which could benchmark both my x86 and my ARM and on the compiler-level, is optimized equally for both.

Among the programs on my PC, I like my Terminal Emulator only. I have a slow HDD and whenever I want to open one of those GUI programs, they want to load soooo much from my Disk so they are much slower to load. Also when I don't use them for a while and their data on memory get placed in my swap space, having them back is again as slow as loading them almost. It seems that because computers have more and more memory, newer versions of programs want to waste more and more memory.
