Just read this amazing book by @pluralistic. I've read more books by C. Doctorow than any other author. I made myself finish four other books on my mammoth, burgeoning list of to-read fiction before rewarding myself with this one and it did not disappoint!

The description of the "bashing/violance" was way out of my tolerance zone, i skipped that bit. I really enjoyed the book otherwise. The love/fascination for Computers/technology poked my nostalgia. It was a wonderful time back then, before technology was more or less monopolized. It feels like every software today just gets a reheating, a few features added/removed. Always the same in every project, in every company the same "problems".

@Rackuur yep, I'm definitely here for the nostalgia! Technological elegance that we'll likely never see again.

I just scrolled by this post, until 2 seconds later my brain was: "Wait, did I just read that was hail?"


This is a very neat explanation for how the FF7 "Cloudsurfing" glitch works. It's an interesting glitch in the cache invalidation algorithm used by the collision detection.

And it lets speedrunners walk across oceans.

I just watched a playthrough using Aerith to win the game on original hardware that relies on that glitch to skip most of disc one

Why was it hard for the GOP โ€“ which controls Congress โ€“ to pass its spending bill?

They didn't pass a spending bill, all they did was pass a continuing resolution (maintaining prior years budget, but with carve outs) for the rest of the fiscal year.


Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for Okonomi Sauce. I have no idea what this is, but the woman on the packet looks happy so I think it must be delicious. She seems trustworthy.

itโ€™s heavily loaded with sodium. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever heard of date juice or carrot concentrate before.
