I got quote-happy this week.
- Ladybird Browser Initiative. (via several places)
- Related to the previous link: Mozilla is an advertising company now and Mozilla’s Original Sin.
- The new Fantasy Steampunk Storybundle, with orcs! Unrelated to MWL’s about-to-come-out tech book that you should order, or his next book.
- Related: Next NYC*BUG: July 10th The State of Email, By: Michael W. Lucas. Note that you should RSVP so you can get access.
- I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again. “Consider the fact that most companies are unable to successfully develop and deploy the simplest of CRUD applications on time and under budget.” (via everywhere)
- Schotter, part 1 and part 2. “Sometimes it’s fun to pick a rabbit hole and follow it all the way down.” (via)
- Donkey Kong: A Record of Struggle. (via)
- The time smart quotes prevented the entire Office division from committing code. “Just another example of I HAVE NO TOOLS BECAUSE I’VE DESTROYED MY TOOLS WITH MY TOOLS.”
- Inside the tiny chip that powers Montreal subway tickets. I am pretty sure you are carrying something similar to this in your pocket right now.
- A potpourri of cool-looking scripts. Scripts as in typeface.
- 1/25-Scale Cray C90 Wristwatch. “my wristwatch runs a full n-body simulation of Jupiter and 63 of its moons.” (via)
- The best version of an Apple Watch. (via)
- Chernobyl power plant as table lamp. I am OK with linking to this cause I already bought mine. (via I lost it, sorry)
A Cray… wristwatch. Gods. Computing can be so damn cool. What else could we do if there was more of this and fewer grifts.
Maybe there was something interesting in the “I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again”, but I couldn’t make it out between the “Aw my gawd, I am so smart” and the “I am so cool, I can put fuck into every other sentence”. :(
