Alan Turing literally had to write lisp by hand in his 1938 Princeton PhD thesis… like he was bad at typing so hired someone to type it on a typewriter but there were no keys for lambda so the typist just left spacebars for him to write in the functions by hand later…. 🤯 and any little mistake Alonzo Church would catch and make him correct.

“As an anti-Zionist Jewish organization for Palestinian freedom, we are horrified to learn that Meta is considering expanding when they treat ‘Zionism’ — a political ideology — as the same as ‘Jew/Jewish’ — an ethno-religious identity,” said Dani Noble, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace, one of the groups Meta has contacted to discuss the possible change.”

@naturzukunft cooooooool thanks for taking a look. wrt C2S tests, no that is not in scope in the near future.

Earlier tonight I also pushed a new version of this page and now it tags some requirements with ActivityPubClient https://activitypub-testing-website.socialweb.coop/conformance/requirements/

That might be useful for C2S testers, but I won't be doing it soon.

@bengo@mastodon.social avatar

@naturzukunft @steve the client to server interactions section contains requirements that apply to the server.

I misinterpreted the question maybe. In scope is testing C2S Server requirements. Out of scope is testing C2S Client requirements.

@steve @naturzukunft yesterday I published a change to this page so now every requirement is tagged with either ActivityPubClient or ActivityPubServer. We can also add a C2S tag and then the intersection of those two tags sounds like a way of querying for what you describe.

@naturzukunft @steve It's a list of the conformance requirements in the ActivityPub spec. I admit they could be rendered better. Sorry about that.

The requirements are the subset of behaviors described by the spec that are required via RFC2119 'MUST'. This doc has a bit more explaining 'behaviors' including the reuqired ones. https://socialweb.coop/activitypub/behaviors/

"It was as he suspected: in a rigid hierarchy, nobody questions orders that seem to come from above, and those at the very top are so isolated from the actual work situation that they never see what is going on below. It was the chains of communication, not the means of production, that determined a social process.. Nothing signed “THE MGT.” would ever be challenged."

"A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of “monopoly in the means of production.” Since man extends his nervous system though channels of communication like the written word, the telephone, radio, etc., he who controls these media controls part of the nervous system of every member of society. The contents of these media become part of the contents of every individual’s brain."

"Fast learns, slow remembers. Fast proposes, slow disposes. Fast is discontinuous, slow is continuous. Fast and small instructs slow and big by accrued innovation and by occasional revolution. Slow and big controls small and fast by constraint and constancy. Fast gets all our attention, slow has all the power."

"None of these challenges can be solved quickly or easily. But all of them demand that we listen to one another and work together; that we focus on our common interests, not on occasional differences; and that we reaffirm our shared values, which are stronger than any force that could drive us apart. That is the work that we must carry on."

"""
This new work on "assembly theory," ... represents a major advance in our fundamental comprehension of biological evolution and how it is governed by the physical laws of the universe...

This research builds on the team's previous work developing assembly theory as an empirically validated approach to life detection, with implications for the search for alien life and efforts to evolve new life forms in the laboratory.
