The experience of the 80s was slowness, things were so slow that it's unimaginable now. So unimaginable that we don’t remember the feeling anymore. The experience was so slow, that you can play another game while loading [1]. Namco eve

My first contact with substitution cyphers and frequency analysis was at 11, reading the Gold Bug from Edgar Allan Poe. I have fond memories of that time, writing and decoding messages with school friends. I have always assume that a lot of

You do the right thing. Nature can be cruel and merciless. And hypothermia is not just for winter. There are countless histories in the Alps and the Pyrenees of weekend hikers that go up in t-shirts and shorts, and then suddenly the weather

I have never seen that word huh written or pronounced in Spanish, French o Italian. ... But know it exists. I suppose more than one reader has pronounced aloud, in his native language, so it exits.

This is why I love HN. I was going to the shelving to check the cost in the Wirth book [1], and the right number was already published in HN. [1] Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs / Niklaus Wirth.

The concept of "Unknown Unknowns" changed my approach to life for better. I was one of those laughing to the famous speech [1] the very first time I heard it. After a few days, I begin to grasp the epistemological truth in it, mak
