   Thank you for your sacrifice. (apropos: now there's an AI feature I can get behind. Automatic summarization of links, so we can filter the clickbait).

   Thanks for that, its wonderfully creepy. (its a short story written in the style of a wikipedia article from the future about the standard model test brain uploaded from a living scientist).

   96k and going. Incidentally, i find it interesting how it's slowing down (not the server - still happily chugging around), but the propagation of news/memes/links.

    These things may seem farfetched, but happen very often in certain parts of the world. Here very recently the Federal Road Administration was caught stopping buses in regions where the left leaning presidential candidate had the strongest s

    Counterpoint: i think "Won't fix, don't understand" may be the responsible thing to do when you, as a single maintainer, can't give everybody's new ideas a thorough check before merging. YMMV.

    There's "programming", and then there's "building apps". These two things do not necessarily map neatly into each other. Could it be that people had an expectation to build a working product/service, and n

    It's just expert systems. Edit: and the customer very often does not care, so it might as well be a mechanical turk service of some kind. Media does care, however, when you get caught.

    This is awesome, and highlights how much you can do with "modest hardware" (back then we just called it "hardware"). Good job!

    Allow me to geek out a little. I love this stuff. According to [1] Kirby uses the Nintendo MMC-3 mapper [2], which brings some nifty features like a scanline counter. This can be used for finer control of scrolling regions/screen spli
