Ian from TimcastIRL on Software and Open Sourcing Big Tech's Code

You don't want to even look at that code, Ian. It is such a load of fucking shit that the people who "work" on it want to commit suicide when they go home st night. It was shit to start with and that was before the CIA started making them hack in all the filters and vias and fuck only knows what other shit is in there, .... See The DoJ Are Busy. The only way is to start again from the top down.

The other thing is that open sourcing systems doesn't make them any more secure. For example, how much of the source code on a Linux system distribution like Debian have you personally read and verified?


Here's something I wrote for the Bolivian Government six years ago: Developing Secure Communications.

Here's a deeper explanation: Genesis.

I'm sorry, I haven't listened to the discussion, because I wrote this shit eight years ago and I'm still waiting for someone to e-mail me and say they've read it and that it is interesting, and then tell me what are their ideas. If there ideas are just "open source the dumpster fire rat's nest of shit from hell" then they haven't read what I said, or they've never worked on a large-scale industrial software project.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the time, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
