AV aproveita que o deixam falar para criticar também o AS por ser do PS que é quem foi causador do atraso desta nova lei (AS responde demarcando-se do PS). GM acha que “qualquer Português hoje quer comprar uma habitação minimamente decente tem de dispender perto de 1 milhão de euros”, e eu acho que assim é difícil levá-lo a sério.AV aproveita a crítica ao enriquecimento ilícito feita por GM para defender alterar a constituição - e em quatro jornalistas não há um que o confronte com o papel do PR.

Parece que saltaram um bloco de perguntas (porque as respostas estão a demorar mais do que estava previsto), e com isto CM não tem a oportunidade de ser a primeira a responder a nenhum tema.

1. recusou algum negócio ou reunião por conflito de interesses?: JP, AF, GM, CF - não; MM - negócios não, mas convites sim; AV - negócios não, mas no parlamento sim (relacionado com futebol), e está a ser investigado pelo MP; AS - sim, rejeitou um convite de uma empresa a ir ver a bola, já enquanto candidato; CM - já recusou reuniões com outros estados e embaixadas por motivos de posições sobre direitos humanos.
   

8/n

CF e AV são quem custa mais ouvir nesta ronda, porque em vez de falar da pergunta CF quiz primeiro atacar os outros candidatos, dizendo que eles três não têm hipóteses e que vão desistir nas próximas duas semanas, outros não conquistam nem o eleitorado do seu próprio partido, um não quer ser presidente… enfim, baixesa, e claro que AV aproveita logo para fazer alarido, alavanca isto e “exige” que “aqueles três” desistem ou não…

2.1) deve PR intervir junto da PGR em casos como o de Costa?: “depende”, respondem todos, com GM mais uma vez a tentar dizer uma coisa e o seu contrário, enlameando tudo para tentar não desagradar ninguém, e AV também diz que é sempre mas depois é só às vezes, troca-tintice para parecer que ele vai mais longe que os outros, quando defende o mesmo.

#ptpol #debate #presidenciais

O “debate da rádio” tem oito dos candidatos à presidência (adivinhem quem) e duas horas.

Legenda: AV = “André Ventura”, AF = “António Filipe”, CM = “Catarina Martins”, CF = “Cotrim Figueiredo”, AS = “António Seguro”, MM = “Marques Mendes”, GM = “Gouveia e Melo”, JP = “Jorge Pinto”

Pelos vistos o debate está dividido em blocos: o primeiro bloco é sobre poderes presidenciais (se calhar o único que devia haver?):

1. se OE chumba, dissolução de parlamento ou?: alguns acham que “depende do contexto”, mas no detalhe e em contextos específicos agiriam de maneira diferente (AV dissolveria no caso da geringonça, AF não dissolveria em caso de governos minoritários, CF acha que é nas maiorias que é preciso insistir…), outros (ou só CM?, GM é troca-tintas, diz que cada caso é um caso mas depois parece que todos os casos não levam à dissolução…) que dissolver o parlamento por causa de um chumbo de um OE é o instrumento errado, se o parlamento acha que não há condições então podem recorrer à Moção de Censura.

Steps to world domination:

1. “Invent” “AI” (by using other people’s data).
   
2. Get people hyped about it and ideally hooked on it.
   
3. Only provide it as a cloud service. But hey, if you want to, you can run it locally!
   
4. Buy all hardware available on the market, so that nobody but you can build more systems.
   
5. All PCs of consumers and competitors are too weak now and can’t be upgraded anymore.
   
6. Everybody depends on your cloud service! Win!
   

All of that is possible because corporations don’t have a “conscience” in capitalism. Nobody forces the RAM manufacturers to sell all their stuff to just one or two buyers, but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well, just a very limited subset thereof:

1. inline and multiline code blocks using single/double/triple backticks (but no code blocks with just indentation)
   
2. markdown links using using [text](url)
   
3. markdown media links using ![alt](url)
   

And that’s it. No bold, italics, lists, quotes, headlines, etc.

Just like mentions, plain URLs, markdown links and markdown media URLs are highlighted and available in the URLs View. They’re also colored differently, similarly to code segments.

I definitely should write some documentation and provide screenshots.

I assume you made the thing load quickly, didn’t you?

That’s the problem with Python. If you have a couple of files to import, it will take time.

I want this to be reasonably fast on my old Intel NUC from 2016 (Celeron N3050 @ 1.60GHz) and I already notice that the program startup takes about 95 ms (or 125 ms when there are no .pyc files yet). That’s still fine, but it shows that I’ll have to be careful and keep this thing very small …

Python 3.14 will bring lazy imports, maybe that can help in some cases.

Whoo! I fixed one of the hardest bugs in mu (µ) I think I’ve had to figure out. Took me several days in fact to figure it out. The basic problem was, println(1, 2) was bring printed as 1 2 in the bytecode VM and 1 nil when natively compiled to machine code on macOS. In the end it turned out the machine code being generated / emitted meant that the list pointers for the rest... of the variadic arguments was being slot into a register that was being clobbered by the mu_retain and mu_release calls and effectively getting freed up on first use by the RC (reference counting) garbage collector 🤦‍♂️

A precisar de banda sonora para hoje?

A ANTI-DEMOS-CRACIA (ADC) lançou um repto ousado: desafiar o convencional e conceber um álbum de Natal definido pela total liberdade criativa. O convite, estendido a projetos de todas as vertentes e sem restrições estéticas ou geográficas, teve um objetivo claro: subverter o cânone tradicional da época.

Estava assim traçado o rumo de “25.12”, o álbum de Natal da ADC.

Passados alguns meses, chegamos ao dia 24 de Dezembro e, às 12h, a ADC assinalou o lançamento celebrando a elevada qualidade artística e a expressiva adesão ao projeto.
A diversidade sonora recebida percorre géneros que vão da eletrónica robusta à experimentalista, do punk ao rock, culminando na pop de Os Curiosos — banda na qual Henrique Amoroso colabora com alunos do Centro de Reabilitação e Integração de Deficientes de Cascais (CRID).

No total, o projeto reuniu 57 participações de diversas texturas sonoras, com uma abrangência geográfica significativa: desde Portugal (54 contributos, incluindo músicos residentes no estrangeiro) até Espanha (2) e Nova Zelândia (1). Ao todo, a iniciativa envolveu mais de uma centena e meia de mentes criativas.

#ptpol #presidenciais

Já é mais fácil as pessoas saberem quem são 8 dos candidatos: a comunicação social até lançou 2 ou 3 deles, entrevistou-os, providenciou debates entre eles - os oito. Mas os candidatos são onze, e nada leva a crer que - nem mesmo depois da crítica feita pela CNE - a comunicação social esteja interessada em falar dos outros. Não se preocupem, há sempre um maluco nas intermetes a querer colmatar as falhas dos outros. Assim sendo… Quem são os “outros três”?

1. André Pestana - ficou conhecido dos Portugueses durante uns tempos em que os professores andavam na rua a protestar, durante o Governo do Costa. Já antes disso tinha protestado contra o amianto nas escolas. É o líder do sindicato STOP, e diz que “é a altura de abrir a pestana”. É contra as subvenções partidárias. Quer “Mais Saúde, Educação, Justiça; menos corrupção E ganância”.

2. Manuel João Vieira - Vocalista dos Ena Pá 2000, só desiste se for eleito. Quer vinho canalizado em todas as casas, e é o candidato do gozo, mas curiosamente não goza com o povo nem com o cargo - ao contrário de outros.

3. Humberto Correia - vai percorrer país vestido de Afonso Henriques em campanha, “ir descendo até ao Algarve, tal como D. A. Henriques na conquista de Portugal.” Quer combater a crise na habitação fazendo casas de 30m².
