Not every task is worth finishing. Inspired by JJason, I give you some tasks which will never become praxes. One photo per task.
Complaining that YellowBear doesn't task any more is like saying, "man, it's a shame that Beethoven guy stopped writing music. You seem him around every so often, but it's been *months* since his last symphony."
You're probably right. I'll bet that asshole Loki hands out sf0 business cards to every crazy sidewalk preacher he meets, just to fuck with us.
Not even close.
If I remember correctly, the same conversation also included a discussion of the impossibility of understanding how little attention other people actually pay to you. This is especially true when doing something sneaky, as you're maximally attentive and focused on yourself and your immediate environment. It's almost impossible to believe that everybody else in the room isn't doing exactly the same thing.
In some sense they are, but they're mostly concerned with themselves, or on rare occasions the attractive person across the room, and even then they probably aren't really paying much attention to detail. *You* know there's a live mouse in your coat pocket, and the squirming bulge is right there in plain sight. How is it possible that all the other people on the escalator don't notice it? Eventually you become frustrated, begin to taunt them, drop hints, leave clues. What's wrong with these people? Don't they see it? But of course, they don't. They're too busy worrying about the wrinkles in their trousers, the termites in their houses, the anger of their spouses, and on rare occasions, their own pocket mouses.
Well, that part of the conversation turned out to be the relevant bit.
Thanks, Minch, for the postcardparty.
Oh come on, scienceguru. This is pathetic, even by your standards.
Do you really expect to bring down the game and teach us all a lesson by forcing Sean to delete a few hundred sockpuppet votes every week?
What's your stance on calendar reform? On Eucalyptus tree repatriation?
Are you willing to eschew donations from big oil? Cock fighting leagues? Extraterrestrial governments?
Also, do you have any reason to believe the mysterious and secretive powers that run SF0 would endorse your plan or work to enable it? And, for that matter, why propose a new SF0 rather than an entirely new thing inspired by SF0?
To be clear, I'm a fan of both relet and SF0. But, it's far from clear the rather slow game play as of late will respond to structural changes. When I ponder why I haven't been tasking lately, an insufficiently nimble code base is pretty far down the list.
This is a Level Zero completion of this pretired task. ('cause some tasks weren't really meant to be approved.)
Those of you joining us late may find this discussion interesting.
