@yawaramin @kerckhove_ts Can you please explain the difference between a build artifact and compiler output that invalidates what I was stating? The compilers do produce different binaries at different times for the same settings and same program.

@PrateemMandal @kerckhove_ts You're talking about build reproducibility. We are talking about output determinism of a specific compiler over time. Not the same thing

"Compilers are deterministic" Lol nope! (but I agree with your conclusion.)

@FormerlyNoAcc @kerckhove_ts The hash is of the "plan" of the build not the build artifact itself. I have delivered reproducible builds, one a mix of C++ and Python and another pure Java and I have documented how many hoops you have to jump to get to bit reproducible builds. I would love to be corrected.

@PrateemMandal @kerckhove_ts They are reproducible in Nix, that's the entire point of having it. You get the same hash for the same inputs, and *I'd argue* that's because it's deterministic.

Zack Polanski saw five kicks to a tasered man's head. Instead of performing outrage for cameras, he's doing the harder thing: taking it to the Met Commissioner directly. Social media wants spectacle. Zack wants accountability. That's not weakness — that's maturity. #bbclaurak

I just cannot get over this moment. - from Mahanagar by Satyajit Ray

Sobha Singh was also a prosecution witness against Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt in the Legislative Bombing Case of 1929. He was apparently the only person who saw Bhagat Singh and Dutt throw the bombs, although even the magistrate didn’t really believe him. Sobha Singh was later knighted by the British.

ABV is GOAT ? What are his accomplishments?

@ModusZinn @piebyfour I don't know who is embarrassing themselves but you should read up on long term effects of that tragedy. I do not want a disaster competition but there are plain chemicals whose long term impact can be way worse than radioactive isotopes.

@piebyfour What an absurdly embarrassing tweet. That shit killed thousands of people across the continent and had every country check their food for radiation contamination for decades. We STILL find irradiated animals thousands of km away TODAY. Because fallout sticks around.

The West is obsessed with Chernobyl, churning out award-winning series about a 1986 disaster that killed 54 people on impact. Yet they remain silent on Bhopal 1984, where an American-owned factory leaked gas, killing 3,500+ people instantly.

You supported Trump knowing he was racist. You just thought he wouldn’t be racist against you.

Rail travel peaked in 2013. Draw your own conclusions why that happened.

I don't have it in my heart to campaign against Madhumati, but here's the coolest, most audacious response to censorship ever made in Hindi cinema. That's Sai Paranjpye for you. KATHA rocks big time.

Anantha passed away this morning, around 3 am on 18 April. He went away peacefully. An end that he had prepared himself and all of us for. Leading the kind of life he did and facing death the way he did should be an aspiration for all of us. Ananthapadmanabhan Guruswamy would be remembered for many of his accomplishments and contributions: CEO of Amnesty International in India, the International Programme Director at Greenpeace, CEO of Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI) and the founder of Socrates. An alumnus of IIT Madras and a former teacher at The School – Krishnamurti Foundation India, he would be remembered as one of the most gifted and amazing minds that could think across fields and come up with out of box solutions. Colleagues in Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan would remember him as an unending source of ideas and energy for our work. We met through his partner Kavita Kuruganti. Over the last five years, I had the honour of calling him my friend — actually, my guide and life coach. The beautiful way he embraced cancer and prepared for death has been a life lesson for me. His body would be kept at home (#606, Petunia Block, Sankalp Central Park, Yadavagiri, Mysuru) till 3pm today before being taken for cremation. Cremation will be done at 4pm in Gokulam. Alvida Ananth, as you begin your ananta journey. Till we join!

@khuchrep People didn't vote for these. They voted for chaos and hatred, they are getting it
