- sahin-boydas 8y agoso true.
- tango24 8y agoIn 2025: Google decides to focus only on Search, Maps, and Mail; shuts down or divests all 243 other "side projects".
- vinceguidry 8y agoIn 2030: app developers band together and refuse all new technology. In 3030: we're still using Firebase 2030 edition.
- hinkley 8y agoVernor Vinge has a character who comes out of cryo and discovers that code he wrote 500 years ago is still in production. It’s just under layers and layers of abstraction. He proceeds to pwn a bunch of hardware to aid a counter-conspiracy.
- tty7 8y agoWhat book?? That sounds like an awesome read
- danibx 8y agoA Fire Upon the Deep
- notsofastbuddy 8y agoI think it's the prequel, A Deepness in the Sky. I thought A Fire Upon the Deep had even cooler concepts though.
- mrdoops 8y agoBoth are great reads. Fire Upon the Deep had some cooler concepts, but narrative-wise I prefer Deepness in the sky. The emotional response I had to the memory-control-slavery aspects made my blood boil.
- justinclift 8y agoYeah, seems to be A Deepness in the Sky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky#Interstellar_culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky#Interste... Recently read A Fire Upon the Deep personally, and don't recall much/any mention of it there. :)

- small_fish 8y agoGreat book. "What specialty do we need the most?" "You mean that can bring us the most income? Obviously: Programmer-Archeologist."
