From the movie Hackers: "I got a record. It was Zero Cool. Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day. Biggest crash in history. Front page New York Times, August 10, 1988."

Happy Zero Cool Day!

It's actually fine to lean more introverted! And naturally be a little bit reserved! And take time to warm up and relax around new people! And prefer meaningful conversations! And meditate on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow! It's all valid!

Happy 34th birthday to websites

A screenshot from Season 1 of Game Changer, where Sam says "Your significant others have been in control of the lie detectors this whole time!" And then a screenshot from Season 7 of Jacob Wysocki saying "Please don't steal my blood again."

A small book bound in red leather, with the title "Sexy Times with Wangxian" in (somewhat messy and a bit hard to read) gold foiled letters in the center

The endpapers are marbled paper with a red and blue abstract swirl

The title page says "Sexy Times" in a script font with flourishes, then "with" in a basic italic serif font, then "Wangxian" in Cinzel Decorative. The author is virtual1979 and at the bottom of the title page is says "Teleport Books, Boston / MMXXV"

The list of the fic's tags continues onto the final page of the book, finishing up with "Blow Jobs, Big Fat Quiz of Everything, Gills, Gillplay, Locker Room, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Skater Victor Nikiforov, Skater Katsuki Yuuri" Below that, the text reads "… and it seems we’ve run out of pages for the rest of the fic. Tag limits exist for a reason, and this is it!" followed by a link to the fic's fanlore page: fanlore.org/wiki/Sexy_times_with_Wangxian

This is what I decided to typeset over my vacation ... one of MDZS's most notorious fanfics, in tiny book form.

Unfortunately, the tags filled up all the pages and there was no room for the fic itself! What a shame.

Yeah, okay, that is very fair 😅

I enjoy playing this very serious game www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZIb...

Not the Lion-Ryan rug! You need to save it!

Always hyping Emma Thompson casting herself as a 19 year old. Absolute queen.

I love them!!!

Lazarus (TV series) - Wikipedia

oh lol, I should have figured that. Yeah, it's anime, it's this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus...

IOCCC winner code entry

This IOCCC winner entry (International Obfuscated C Code Contest) made me smile. The code draws the current moon phase to the console.

I've really been enjoying the Lazarus soundtracks ([Mr Collins voice] for there are several), so I thought I should maybe also check out the show, in a backwards way of doing things. Watched the first episode at breakfast and I dig it!

For the discerning gentlepeople wearing a crease in their pj trousers!

He’s just so happy to have a hat… for now #kpopdemonhunters #derpytiger

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

That is such a hilarious list and seconded

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
