@dx OMG yes. Just, shift the (lexical) fields and treat it like the public service it is.

Nevermind that fare enforcement is incredibly expensive in most places, or that fares are heavily subsidized for many so it's mostly a government money shell game.

Unfortunately, that seems way out of the current overtone window: for instance, the French government made it clear that any transit network that stops charging fares, will not get national subsidies :/

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

Also, thanks for the incidental reminder about the JUICE launch, I forgot to put it in my calendar :O

Hi @llb !

Thanks for seminar, so great it brought me back to Masto :O

I was wondering, do you think there would be potential in exposing ~all possible minifications (as an [E-Graph]) and automatically search for the one that minimizes post-compression output ?

If the compressor itself is modeled (either approximately or outright integrated with) one can be much faster than bruteforce: superoptimizers do that, would be unpractical otherwise

La stratégie des procureurs pour envoyer les manifestant-e-s en prison avant d’être jugé-e !

changement de paradigme [...] Aux traditionnels "violences sur personne dépositaire de l’autorité publique", "outrage et rebellion" vient s’ajouter les notions d’"atroupement armé en vue de ..." ou de "groupement formé en vue de...", résurgences de la « loi anti-casseurs » des années 70. [pour] condamner des personnes pour des intentions supposées et non sur la base de faits

alcorithm, n. That code you 'fixed' last night after six straight shots of Jagermeister. It's definitely 100% correct now.

- no having to take off your shoes and pour out your bottled water and go through a metal detector
- stations located in the middle of town instead of way out in the middle of nowhere so you have to take a whole other train to get there
- better view
- more leg room
