Nepal launches plan to boost science, awareness to save dholes
KATHMANDU — Nepal has launched a species action plan focused exclusively on conserving the endangered dhole (Cuon alpinus), also known as the Asiatic wild dog. The new 262.9 million rupee ($1.9 million) five-year plan, targets key conservation challenges by trying to strike a balance between improving scientific understanding of the species and promoting awareness among […]

I started a conversion tool today for Plan 9 a.out to ELF.
https://github.com/platform-system-interface/p9aout2elf
The corresponding ELF I was given with an a.out has some differences in memory sizs for some reason.
I will see about trabslating the symbol table…

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont)
is taking on the “retirement crisis” in the U.S.
with a new bill aimed at guaranteeing pensions or solid retirement plans for every worker in America.
On Thursday, Sanders introduced the "Pensions for All Act",
which would require corporations to provide a retirement plan equivalent to or better than the pensions plan offered to members of Congress.
“If we are serious about addressing the retirement crisis in America,

Giambattista Nolli (or Giovanni Battista) (April 9, 1701 – July 3, 1756),
was an Italian architect and surveyor.
He is best known for his ichnographic plan of Rome,
the Pianta Grande di Roma
which he began surveying in 1736 and engraved in 1748,
and now universally known as the Nolli Map.
The map is composed of 12 copper plate engravings that together measure 176 centimetres by 208 centimetres.
It was produced and published in response to the comm…

Symbols are great for debugging.
Already happy to have made the Plan 9 a.out to ELF conversion tool! \o/

I posted a long email to 9fans, the Plan 9 mailing list.
Not sure if they will love or hate me. I guess both, so I might be doing it right lol...
This one may as well go out to other communities.
I may transform it into a blog post for reference.

The conversion tool I started for Plan 9 a.out to ELF is at a good point now.
If you want to see me struggle for almost 2 hours trying to go the first steps, check out the recording of Wednesday's development live stream:

✨ parsing the first symbols from a Plan 9 a.out, looking good! 🥳

Google's AI claims that I cannot directly use a tool to convert Plan 9 a.out to ELF.
I am writing that tool right now.

All I want is sixty-nine hours on my sweet Plan 9.
I will see that I get a 9front based build setup.
No idea yet how it works. It is supposed to be instrumented to build a certain kernel when I make code changes.
