Can’t ignore it.

Can’t change it.

Only heartburn.

A “dark age” is really just one where records didn’t survive, not that it was particularly bad. This usually follows a breakdown of power structures but the real loss is that we can’t know what happened.

I’m worried that transitioning so much to fragile digital technology could result in massive amounts of knowledge and culture being inaccessible, like that guy’s hard drive full of Bitcoin.

And it’s not just all of society that will be lost, but family history as well. Photographs and letters survive a long, long time. But without strict preservation and keeping old formats alive my grandkids won’t be able to flip through old photos of my family like I can with an old photo album.

And JSON is pronounced “javascripton“

Join your ship’s surgeon for an evening of Boccherini duets

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box (open a port)

Carl Sagan. Kevin Mitnick. Douglas Adams. Aaron Barrett. Bob Villa. Sid Meier. My chemistry teacher who was nominated for a Webby.

I was kind of a weird kid

But he’s not even charismatic. He’s just an asshole

I don’t think you think that and I apologize for any implication. I just don’t understand why other people think he’s cool because he very much is not.

Even if what he’s saying makes sense he sounds and looks like a try-hard dweeb with no skills beyond flapping his gums.

I do not understand how this weirdo was ever cool

Nothing so fancy. Just some postgres machines to show off different recovery modes

My job let me buy a bunch of Pis to set up a cluster for a demo so I’m having a lot of fun

One of my favorite stories of Polish badassery, as told by one of my favorite Scotsmen

A tiny part of me hopes Article 5 happens so I can see the Poles unleash decades of anger at the Russians.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I am guilty of just restarting a game over and over until I find a good spawn point.

I often think of all the history that could have happened, the tiny people who could have done amazing things, who disappear into the ether as I click a button…

Ooo I’m right next to some luxury resources!

Our Nazis have way less style

Stalin had a nasty habit of putting some of his best designers into gulags. Von Braun probably would have ended up in one of them.

I tried to rewatch the whole thing and could barely make it halfway through season 2. It wasn’t very good when it was on and doesn’t really hold up that well

If that’s the case I highly suggest you check out Golang. It’s got strict types like Java but it’s a lot more intuitive and expressive than either Java or C#.

My favorite language is Ruby, for those same reasons, but Go would be a better fit for someone who likes strong typing with a certain je ne sais qoui.
