But that book is a waste. It is just MIT dunning-krugerites who were salty that LISP machines never took off. When it comes to real life, the bell labs approach won, and for several good reasons. Not "worse is better" (another

Compared to plan9, past its sell-by date. Compared to redhat poetteringware, I will continue to attend services.

Tylenol 3 is an old & inexpensive medication. One has to wonder if one of Koren's undisclosed revenue sources was a manufacturer of pricier on-patent opioids (like Sackler).

That a handful of private companies (of which, Ellison has big investments in several) have cornered the market on NAND and DRAM -- with some sources saying that these reservations extend into 2029 -- should be far more concerning. They&#x

Such things were doing a good-enough job scamming the elderly as it is--even with the silence-based delays.

It would be nice to have a unix for the new millenium--one that discards everything the greybeards deem a mistake. The window of opportunity is closing. We won't have them much longer.

Easy & reliable p2p would upset so many apple carts. I get the feeling that if something really started taking root in that space, the big boys would push for a new obstruction--i.e. NATv6 or some such thing--to put the genie back in

"democratizing" as in " I steal everybody's shit, make most content creators go bankrupt, then put it all in an LLM behind a paywall. " Privatization of all human knowledge--past, present, & future. They own b

Don Hopkins is the archetype of this industry. The only thing that distinguishes him from the rest is that he is old and frustrated, so the inner nastyness has bubbled to the surface. We all have a little Don Hopkins inside of us. That i

This person is a living caricature. If Ford wanted to sell more F350s, their best advertisers could do no better than this (man's?) mastodon.

Of course they were the best educated. Their parents could afford the best educations money can buy after selling their country out to western corporations. The Shah was a puppet. His entourage, puppets.

The nice thing about syntax highlighting is that it acts as a lightweight validator. I know I have a syntax error as soon as the colors go crazy in vim, and I can find it where the colors break.

TV is a mind-control system. Even if they were expensive to make, they would still be given to the proles at minimal cost.

I could give a shit about codepoints. Multilingual text is hard enough as it is. The icons-with-combiners were an unnecessary complication. The site we are commenting on rejects them, and rightly so.

I wish they stuck to languages only, instead of branching out into modern hieroglyphics. There are enough forces hacking away at literacy as it is. Flags are particularly wasteful, given that nations and movements can be highly ephemeral.

After doing this for 25 years, I have come to the conclusion that one should stick to lightweight tools as much as possible. Complex ones are far more vulnerable to supply chain attacks--be they illegal ones from hackers, or legal ones fro

Turns out it is some marketing bullshit to force what some mail clients show in the preview. They use a large pad of joiners / combiners / soft punctuation / etc. to prevent the mail client from choosing text after the pad f
