Amazing to see this on the front page multiple times and reposted every 20 minutes, each time as the highest performer on new. I've never seen such story velocity before.

The pixels really disappoint here: - Originally, you had unlimited storage for life (leading to a brisk trade in Pixel 1s even today, putting new pics on them for permanent back up). - Then unlimited storage at somewhat reduced quality - Af

No, it isn't necessary. Most go projects implement error handling functions, so you only have single error lines: Handle(err)

That's an even funner model, really. Well, I guess theoretically, you could have chemical pools on an exoplanet shocked by lightning which luckily grow processor boards or simple robots, which collect the borders like a hermit crab she

I've seen this design style before. I'm hoping there's an existing model to work from, e.g. how Tufte css spawned many individual layouts but instead inspired by a terminal.

That's how we get locked in to that model e.g. how processors became optimized for LLVM/the C ecosystem (whereas in the past there were Lisp optimized processors, general processors etc.)

You'll want "Inventing the Schlieffen Plan" and especially GJ Meyer's "The World Undone". The second deals with prewar military strategy, showing that European militaries expected trench warfare and ineffective
