Why #Cryonics Makes Sense — Wait But Why
https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html
You'll have to enable JavaScript for waitbutwhy.com and netdna-ssl.com to get access to the notes and references (the blue circle and the grey square). You don't need any other JavaScript, though, and you're not missing out on much by not having those.

If you want to help with the #yahoogroups #archival process and use Google #Chrome, you can sign up for a Yahoo! account, give ownership of it to the archival team and then solve CAPTCHAs to add groups to your account. More information on the GitHub page: https://github.com/davidferguson/yahoogroups-joiner
I haven't figured out how to actually load this extension into Chrome, though, and you'll have to figure out another way of getting the account credentials to the archival team. Advice would be helpful.

If anyone has any contact with #Verizon, could they please try to do something about the company deleting Yahoo! Groups?

They're knocking down a large part of the web whilst frustrating the #archive process. An in-use part of the web, mind you.
Users have had a 58-day window to save as much as they can – and that's if the flakey email system has even notified them yet. And their (presumably automated) systems are banning the archivists.

@dwagenk I wonder what would happen if you connected #qualnet to #hyperboria (which uses #cjdns).

@codesections Just turn off the Clippy rule for boolean match statements then; that's a #cfg I think. You know better than it.
Or, better still, submit a patch to Clippy. I don't know the procedure for that, so it might be more work than it's worth for you.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/exec
> JavaScript RegExp objects are stateful when they have the global or sticky flags set (e.g. /foo/g or /foo/y). They store a lastIndex from the previous match.
Look on, and weep, for we have entered the realm of client-side PHP.
Early-aborting a RegExp.exec-based loop – and lazy evaluation's the only thing this is useful for – without manually resetting an internal property will cause subtle bugs that are hard to spot.

#Peercoin has cool animated SVGs, and looks like the first Proof of Stake system, but is it any good? https://peercoin.net/

Plot twist: JavaScript will hang endlessly trying to increment one item of a TypedArray by an ENTIRE OTHER TYPED ARRAY, instead of just raising a TypeError like a normal person.
I tell myself each day I work with JavaScript, I tell myself not to write anything more in it, and do I listen?
#JavaScript is a #badlanguage.

#Timidity. I hate you so.
If anybody else has upgraded to #Buster and found their #sound not working, please run:
systemctl stop timidity; pulseaudio -k
and see if it works. Timidity seems to steal exclusive control of the sound card at boot, rendering pulseaudio unable to access it, which is a minor pain.
