@koakuma@lanodan@chjara@clacke at that point you have to consider padding as well, so just specifying endianness isn't enough. You'd need a way to describe binary structures, which some languages do have. Perl has pack for example.
@clacke as far as I understand, there is no majority for it. Not all democrats in the US parliament agrees with it.
This is a problem with two party politics I think, since there is no way deals can be made across multiple parties, making even then most reasonable deals into ideological battles.
@thegibson One thing I remember from that show was that before the show started, a guy (who was clearly not part of the team) did a mic check, not knowing the distortion was enabled... He went "testing testing... Oh wow. Cool. Hello." and then started making noises just to play with the sound. 🙂
@thegibson Speaking of classinc synth bands, I just realised that Frontline Assembly has released some new stuff in the last several years, none of which I had never heard before.
I saw them live back in the 90's in a small club in some suburb of Stockholm. It was an amazing show, and I'd love to see them again. They haven't toured since 2018 though.
@thegibson The best synth show I went to was at a small stage at the University of Stockholm where they managed to get DAF, S.P.O.C.K., Elegant Machinery and Front 242 (and one more band?) to play. The audience couldn't have been more than a few hundred and it was packed.
DAF played 13 songs, and started and ended with Der Mussolini. They sure knew their audience. 🙂
@clacke@aryak I got it to start, but shortly after entering a game, the mouse cursor doesn't move anymore.
I found some documentation suggesting it's because I'm using an unpatched Wine, but at the same time it says that wine 7.0 should be fine(?) and I'm using 7.2. Did you see this?
@clacke The joke does sound very Russian though. I spent a lot of time in Moscow back in the early 00's and when hearing people telling jokes (especially ones from the Soviet era) they have exactly this of cynic attitude to the actions of the leaders.
That said, people that I knew over there included Ukrainians, and I could never know where they were from.
@clacke I suspect that Singapore had much larger numbers of unreported cases. Doesn't HK so mass testing? Singapore never did that, and even if you test positive using an ART test, there is no requirement to report it, and you're just supposed to stay home for a few days. All those cases are never seen in the statistics of course
@clacke also with omicron I have think you only test positive for an short period of time, so even mass testing will only give a partial result. Although statistical analysis will probably give more useful information.
It seems to me that when omicron hits, it basically infects everyone that can be infected very quickly which seems to be what happened in both HK and SG. If that's true, then things should hopefully be much better within a couple of months.
@clacke Looks like the standard pattern of omicron that has been seen in other countries. Singapore peaked a few weeks ago although the drop is slower than what we see in the HK graph. HK is down to one fifth of what it was at its peak on the 28'th. Singapore's peak was on the 22'nd but we're only down 1/2.5 or so since the peak.
But you're right, perhaps people are simply not reporting because it's such a hassle in HK if you're positive. At least that's what I assume, do you still have to see a doctor if you test positive with an ART test?
