Any possible applications?

> Iwamoto and Scheschkewitz say pentasilacyclopentadienides could be ligands for catalysts and materials.

The review should have expanded on this at a practical level even mom and dad could understand—the standard “better life through chemistry” angle.

Sounds like it could improve the production efficiency of glyptal-impregnated, cyanoethylated bushings for turbo-encabulators!

Maybe the briefing didn’t specify if the Spanish speaker was or wasn’t supposed to speak Spanish.

Beagle Bros was awesome. I loved their disk warnings.

> not just 1000 dollars on their bank account.

Conditional cash transfer programs have been extremely successful in other countries. Brazil’s Bolsa Família is one I am more familiar with and it’s studied as a success reference.

The conditional part relies in part on universal healthcare, which might complicate things a bit in the US.


They are really not getting onboard with the transition to EVs... Strange hill for a car company to die on.

> I would like to see tech related educational institutions incorporate contributing to open source as part of their curriculum

As long as we avoid drowning maintainers with review requests, I'm in.


> you should then create a bug report referencing the crash report

Reducing friction would be nice here - I don't remember encountering the crash log screen, but if you could file a bug report right from that screen, that'd be perfect. A lot of information can be pre-collected at that stage - precise version, build, OS, architecture, processor type, etc. All that'd be left is the "What I was trying to do", my e-mail, and a checkbox if I agree with the privacy policies and if I want to receive e-mail updates about this bug report.

> you can do your own build with debug symbols

It'd be great if the Document Foundation helped distros to offer libreoffice-*-debug packages for this case - if it's crashing for you, install the debug version and your crash logs will be a lot easier to read.


> if you could file a bug report right from that screen, that'd be perfect

You can file a bug report from a crash report - it prefills all the relevant data. See an example crash report: https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/bac2...

"Bug reports for libc.so.6:

File a bug for: Calc Writer Impress Chart Base"

Here is what the dialog says about bug reports: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/master/svx/uiconfig/ui/cr...

> It'd be great if the Document Foundation helped distros to offer libreoffice-*-debug packages for this case

I believe most distros have this covered now, some by making use of debuginfod, which downloads symbols on demand: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debuginfod


Thank you. This is all awesome work. BTW, I didn't know debuginfod existed :-)

> In my opinion, operating transport as transportation programme, not a social programme, is how you get more adoption in the long term

Yesterday I came across a couple articles that encapsulate this thought.

I have to say I worry a bit when I see these circular bets designed to pump up share cost without fundamentally increasing underlying company value. I get subprime vibes every time this happens and it’s happening a lot with extremely large dollar numbers.

I wouldn’t point to Epstein, but there is a very powerful lobby that will protect the image of any Israeli government. A lot of Evangelicals also consider Israel important in bringing about the apocalypse, without which they can’t access eternal life. I wish I was kidding on that last one, but there are people actively trying to bring down civilisation so they can go to heaven.

Need source for the last one?

Sadly I don’t.
