quandary: mostly it seems like storing URIs for the addresses will work, but i also want identifiers that're:
- unique within local system
- not tied to a specific path on the filesystem, in case that path changes
- not necessarily _globally_ unique
- human readable
a URN seems like what i want, but in formal terms not quite, since it's s'posed to be global, and there's all sorts of registry stuff.
should i make something up, or is there a better existing solution for this?
DRIFT / TRANSFORMERS: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
Are sprints with JIRA computer-assisted speed runs?
I find a lot of my disagreements with fellow activists are about "X is *more important* than Y for winning our cause". Usually they aren't mutually exclusive, and to really win, we usually need X *and* Y. To get there, we need a diverse set of contributor types and to value all.
Still boggling at this wonderful 2009 paper about how either economics is true, or computer science, but not both.

<< The majority of financial academics believe in weak form efficiency and the majority of computer scientists believe that P≠NP. The result of this paper is that they cannot both be right: either P=NP and the markets are weakly efficient, or P≠NP and the markets are not weakly efficient.>>
Another important take-away from my meetings already: calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.
E-mailing MEPs with a standard e-mail from a template can actually be counter-productive.
If you can, please *call* your MEPs. You can find your MEP here:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html
If you'd rather e-mail, please write two-three paragraphs in your own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

i think The Browser is the new Wintel. nobody really thought it was the best or especially wanted it (ok some people did/do) but we're kinda stuck with it and if you make a thing, thats where it has to run. eventually some New Thing will come along on a higher level of abstraction and render the whole thing moot, but it'll take 15-20 years, and the New Thing will be just as bad, but newer
There's a dog outside the laundromat who sounds five times smaller than they are.
Hello! I'm new to Mastodon, and happy to try this place out! I draw a lot of original art focused around my characters and create speedpaints for my patreon.

Just discovered #bat, a drop-in replacement for the Unix `cat` command. It supports automatic paging, line numbers, and syntax highlighting, and it is extensible with custom color schemes.

I wonder if someday people will learn about historical corporate acquisitions and mergers the same way we learn about the wars and invasions of empires and nation states today.
Wow. I've been head in the sand for the last few years and not following what's going on with Blender. Huge things are happening! https://www.blender.org/2-8/
The new realtime rendering and 2d drawing tools are amazing looking
Holy crap! The things they've added to Blender! https://www.blender.org/2-8/
Today I finished replacing my CenturyLink-provided router with a “homebrew” router, a small Dell desktop with 2 NICs and an SSD running Untangle.
With a i5-2400 running at 3.1Ghz and 8GB of RAM, it might be slightly overpowered for a home network. But there’s 1Gbps fiber on the other side of it, and now I can use all of it without overheating (or even slightly heating) anything.
And I can do so much more with it: permanent VPN tunnel to work, detailed port forwarding rules, etc.
I want to write books that read like Discworld but with a greater emphasis on how things could be instead of frustration over how things aren't as they are supposed to be, though the righteous anger of the latter is also important.
