Ok, non-nerds, feel free to stop reading.

If you:

telnet mapscii.me

Not only will you see a cool ASCII art map of the world, you can scroll around with a mouse and zoom in. It's astoundingly cool ASCII art.

The Ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead" contains a list of sins that you need to remind the gods you have not committed in a "negative confession".
Here's my take on it if anyone wants to ask:

I haven't stolen bread from temples, haven't slain sacred cattle,
haven't made dog ears in library books, haven't sent voice messages
that could be conveyed as text, haven't scheduled meetings that could be emails,
haven't forgotten constants in indefinite integrals, haven't written a JS framework, haven't been a dick to downstream packagers, haven't engaged in tabs-vs-spaces debates, haven't insisted that my PRs were to be merged ASAP, haven't concealed security vulnerabilities, haven't worked on ad-tech and other surveillance capitalism technologies, haven't exploited vulnerable systems for personal gain, haven't tried to convert emacs users to vim — I'm pure, I'm pure, I'm pure.

So. Lemme get this straight.

Y'all used this guy's thing.

You never paid him, you just used his sweet shit.

And when he was tired and sad and lonely, you demanded that he -- for free, mind you -- take care of your needs.

So he admitted a bad actor to his inner circle.

And now, you are mad at a) him, and b) the bad actor.

But not, you know, c) yourself. cuz idunno, somehow, you are absolved of your role in this by being paid by a corporation.

Sheeeit.

You need to check yourself, sister.

TINY DRAGON
The Armadillo girdled lizard of the desert along the western coast of South Africa.
When threatened, the lizard curls into a ball and takes its tail in its mouth. In this formation, it is protected by the thick squarish scales along its back and the spines on its tail.

Guy who invented the clock: there will be 12 numbers on it
Friend: so the day will be divided into 12 segments?
Inventor: no, 24
Friend: so will the day start at 1
Inventor: the day will start at the 12, which is at night
Friend:
Inventor: the 6 means 30

Paul’s emotional state when people mean the verb “use” and say…

…“use” → okie dokie
…“utilize” → annoyed
…“leverage” → blarlRGLG

I need a meme template to suit this thought. Please recommend.

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Exercism—a fun, non-profit-built platform for improving programming skills.

It's equally great for beginners learning their first language, and for experienced programmers keen to see what ideas unfamiliar languages offer.

Check out this year's challenge, 48in24! https://exercism.org/challenges/48in24

I think I now own the coolest wall clock I could imagine haha. Leaving it in its box till I move in a couple weeks. After I get settled I’ll decide where to put it. Not quite #retrocomputing but I think it counts. 😀

Programming language clichés never die. That's perhaps why Jim Cownie had to debunk the "death" of Fortran:

https://cpufun.substack.com/p/is-fortran-a-dead-language

and the XYplorer developer constantly needs to justify using a "toy" language like Basic for production code:

Jim wrote:

"For reasons I cannot understand, “legacy” has become an insult, despite most of our knowledge being a legacy from previous generations."

Honestly people say Earth probably isn't special but I bet tourists would come see a solar eclipse; a dual-planet system with the uninhabited partner being the exact same size as the local star during the eclipse has to be some rare bullshit no matter how you cut it.
