BREAKING NEWS: New cat species just dropped! 🧪 What is a tilcayo, exactly? Well, it's a small wild cat in the genus Leopardus and a member of the tiger cat species complex, but it is NOT a tigrina, oncilla, kodkod, Geoffroy's cat... www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

My LGP-21 emulator is more or less done. I might fix the timing - it runs too fast in comparison with the real hardware, and the UI is rather ugly 😅, but it works just fine. it was the first time I touched C++ in 2 decades, and it wasn't as scary as I thought. I actually liked it a lot.

To continue the vacation topic. The Waldviertel in Austria is a bloody motorcycle wonderland. Beautiful roads, tons of curves, and no traffic. Also, good food. Go to Waldviertel, lads and gals. (It’s a rather uninspiring photo, but it’s hard to ride and make photos at the same time) #motosky
Vacations, day 1. And of course, the logical route from Germany to Poland lead through Austria :) the ferry will take you to the oder bank od Danube for a modest price of 6 eur #motosky
my tiny LGP-21 emulator is alive. mostly - but enough to read the program from a tape and execute it - as long as I don't expect too much of it ;)

I’m going to the cinema to watch that new Odyssey movie, but will it be as good as the Coen Brothers version?
‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)

Peter Egan truly is a great story teller. I enjoy this book a lot. But also, being flown as a passenger on the front seat of the Cub, I don't know how did they survide that trip without murdering or at least divorcing each other. must be love.

I might be in a process of developing a slight Goldberg problem :) I have to say, I’m rather found of the Garcia and Morinière’s take. Never thought it might sound “right” on a guitar. But here we are. It does.
Weird times to read about the #american history, but 1. Y’all had some good moments 2. Taxes isn’t really an American thing, is it?
Allow me to connect some dots for you: Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more. Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
