Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at ‘simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years’ remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what’s feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

Can’t wait for the bots to tell us what they learned about b2b marketing!

I’m so hype for typed dictionaries

I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don’t need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?

The nice thing about Samba is that you can find clients for everything.

I really like nonfiction, so I’ll recommend a few.

Wonderful Life (Stephen Jay Gould) was what really helped me understand biology. Really interesting read if you want to hear about evolution or paleontology. If you prefer land animals to Cambrian bugs, Rise and Fall of dinosaurs (Steve Brusatte) is also a great read, though it didn’t blow my mind as much as Gould did.

House and Soul of a new Machine (both by Tracy Kidder) are op opposite ends of the technical spectrum but together form a rich portrait of people at work.

Exploding The Phone (Phil Lapsely) is the book you want if you’re at all interested in retro technology. I suspect many people who care enough to use a ln offbeat social network like this one will enjoy it.

Annals of the former world (John McPhee) is a hefty tome that tells the natural history of United States geology, the history of geology (especially how plate tectonics were discovered) and how geology has interacted with the people living on it.

So like systemd but ten times more dramatic.

Only very occasionally. Masters of Doom and Ubik are examples. I like being able to hand copies of books to friends and family to borrow and I can’t do that with an ebook.

I tell myself I will reread some books, but I can’t imagine ever really doing that. Maybe when my brain is less plastic some day.

Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain… very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!

Warzone 2100 was my jam! They hadn’t actually got cutscenes working in the Linux port I was using so I was.very confused about the story.

Termux used to rock but nowdays installing stuff is very hit or miss.

x86 apps? Awesome.

In Excession it felt more like

I still don’t understand why IA picked a fight with publishers with the emergency library.

IA provides a really valuable service and they’re an incredibly juicy target. Going on anti-copyright crusades isn’t their mission.

MacOS was just about as jank as Windows 9x by my recollection.

The screen was nice, the USB support was nice. I didn’t hate the keyboard, though I was used to an IBM Model M so I hammered those keys…

Reason. It’s got a unique workflow that is hard to break from. I even tried Renoise, but it’s hard to switch.

I’m still on there because at the very least it’s a decent way to track the books I’ve read. I keep getting tempted to put my reviews on my blog instead ot Goodreads though.

For the tower defense enthusiast.
