Truly green governments should outlaw plastic production and favour PLA bioplastics and this sort of thing. There's enough plastic in the ocean already.

Fractured ecosystem. Low barrier to entry, so loads of tooling.

Too slow. Different people implemented linter, bundler, ts compiler in JS. That means three different parsers and ASTs, which is inefficient. These guys want a grand unified compiler to rule them all.

What's lexi up to these days? Her last big contribution to Haskell was the delimited continuation primops, then she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

She wrote about it in the most recent post on her blog: https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2025/05/29/a-break-from-p...

Was the Eurostar delayed, does anyone know?

My experience was good: on my way in Paris -> Brussels arrived 10min early, and on my way out Brussels -> Paris I had ~15min delay (apparently because Police had to board the train before Brussels).

Eurostar was fine for me. Getting to the Eurostar within Germany apparently sucked for some. But I took a later train and didn't have issues there either.

No, I don't think Eurostar was affected at all.

Worked for me from Amsterdam.

Not for me.

> What is the FOSDEM community's answer to the real concerns that these changes pose ?

I only caught half a dozen talks, and two of them talked about this exact point.

which ones ? would like to watch them. thanks in advance

- Open source security in spite of AI.

- Formal verification in Rocq, an exhaustive testing.

I watched at home and drank Belgian beer in the afternoon.

That’s a sweeping generalization for hundreds of varieties of Belgian beers lol.

Is the sugar fermented away? Definitely heavier than English beers.

They pump too much CO2 in it you mean. I prefer Polish and Ukrainian beers for this reason.

Where is this team based? Was curious if it was the London office.

We're based in NYC. The Infrastructure and Security Research team in the CTO Office, in particular.

And we are looking for senior researchers to join us, see https://x.com/jvanegue/status/2004593740472807498

Honestly I'd prefer to listen to phone calls over brainless reels. Both are hell.

One or two people per carriage/bus.
