@jaczad Szalejąca transfobia. Jak tam pierwszy raz zajrzałem tuż po otworzeniu instancji, to przeszedłem parę stron lokalnych postów i nie znalazłem _ani jednego_, który by nie był eksplicite transfobiczny. Dosłownie neonazistowskie serwery niosły wtedy więcej wartościowych treści. xd
Teraz chyba jest nieco lepiej, bo przeciekły do mnie jakieś pojedyncze wartościowe posty stamtąd, ale wciąż jest to z założenia instancja dla TERFów.

@robryk Not if all existing software does one thing.
I'm not asking about software that only exists in the "Permutation City" sense. :P
@robryk From a security perspective sure, but I'm more interested in UX in this case.
I wonder if we can construct a family of (increasingly large) semigroups of second-preimage resistant one-way functions. More precisely, I would like to have an indexed family (let's denote the index by i) of semigroups of functions (where the semigroup operation is composition) such that:
- i-th semigroup has size >= i,
- the members of the i-th semigroup can be described by natural numbers from a range of size poly(i),
- there are algorithms polynomial in input size that:
a) read i, descriptions of two functions from the i-th semigroup and output the description of their composition,
b) read i, description of a function from i-th semigroup, an input, and evaluate the function,
- the functions in i-th semigroup are resistant to second preimage attacks with security parameter log(i) [^].
tl;dr I want families of efficiently composable hash functions.
[^] I could just as well request a family indexed by i and the security parameter separately (and have all the complexities be poly(input size + security parameter)). This is equivalent.
@crypted That's only mostly correct, there are actually *three* buffers, but almost no one uses the third one. I only learned this by apparently stumbling upon the only piece of software that uses it by default.
I don't think there is a convenient way of using the third one anyway, so this correction is a curiosity rather than a tip.
@Yuvalne Turns out if you focus on simplicity and cut off all the unnecessary fluff all the bad parts of culture go first, who would've thought. :p @tindall@cybre.space
culture of oversexualization
.hg that's not the only instantiation of this abstract idea either! for another one, contrast typical mono people with…heck, even other mono creatures who are chill. the ones who can admire creatures outside their relationship because they don't harbor a culture of jealousy and mistrust. “whoa, they're cute” doesn't mean “I'm going to abandon you and all of the state and history of our relationship and go chase them”. it doesn't even mean “I want to date them”.
it just means they're cute.
@njms I don't think there is anything wrong written there, it just doesn't really provide the explanation it promises. I think the points it actually makes, about monads being culturally coded as being more difficult than they are and the circumstances which lead to this, are quite important by themselves.
@njms Casually dropping gender studies citations in a post about monads, cute. <3
Although the explanation itself is somewhat disappointing, the post is definitely about something different than the first paragraph promises.
vegetarian nutrition question
@rockario Unless the pierogi are with lentils this sounds somewhat low in the protein department. For a one off meal that's not much of a problem, long term it might be.
For other nutrients it's much more important to eat varied things, it's not feasible to have every meal perfectly balanced by itself. This one sounds decent, although the pierogi filling is an important missing piece of information.
@alexandra this furthers my theory that type theory is just gender for variables
@midline Nigdy nie miałem.
@profoundlynerdy@mastodon.technology It's the only client I found which let me set up a convenient keyboard-based flow of working with emails, other than the gmail web UI. I didn't want to use the latter, to avoid increasing my dependence on Google. Writing emails in vim is a very nice bonus.
I save attachments and then handle them like any other file from the terminal. I don't use it for any appointment stuff directly.
@moonbolt I'm pretty sure that's what USian society has been veeery slowly doing over the course of my entire life. And they are almost done!
@aety Anything by Greg Egan, I would start with any short story collection, or, if you are not into short stories, "Permutation City".
Less 'hard', but always brilliant, Ted Chiang.
If you want to read the hardest reification of the phrase 'Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism' grab the "Culture" series by Ian M Banks. Just _don't_ start with "Use of Weapons".
And a side recommendation for the "Steerswomen" series by Rosemary Kirstein. More relevant than you'll initially think.

Oh, and trans rights, duh.
