Maybe I'm just getting old, but I find the font on this site difficult to read (esp. the "all caps" name). I think it's because parts of the characters are very thin.

Trust seems like the fundamental problem. I used to trust the people writing Amazon reviews but now I don’t. If I could filter reviews to those written by people I trust, then those reviews would still be valuable. It’s not a comprehensive

To everyone who gave this a try, I just wanted to say: thanks! And I hope you enjoyed it. The intersection of people who like esoteric computer architectures and like playing programming games is pretty small, but (based on the number of ne
