If Google really wanted "don't be evil", it would stop all click tracking and delete all user search history.

Tom Lehrer has put all his songs online (including lyrics & sheet music), and given away all rights to them. The site will only be up for a limited time. This is a very niche tweet that will make a small segment of people very happy. tomlehrersongs.com/

I once ran an online platform that grew to be used by hundreds of thousands of people. some of them chose to use it to mock and insult me endlessly. It’s pretty wild watching someone actually do the sort of petty revenge I would only joke about in my despair.

putting Mastodon handle in your bio will give an error now. Pathetic.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

Children Today Spoiled By Too Much Amusement Much has been written about the delinquency of children, but nothing has been done. Some try to solve it by algebra, other by using cards like a fortune teller, but none look for a practical solution. Years ago little was heard about children going wrong, but remember the children of today are different. Then they came from good old American stock. Today they are the product of much vaunted "melting pot" with different ideals and desires. Children today are brought up to enjoy only amusements that cost money, such as movies, roller skating, etc., but no one suggests they try games of their own making or to think up simple pleasures. Failure to give them all they demand causes them to obtain things by "hook or crook," even cars or money, ending up in police cells. Instead of sparing the rod, why not try a little woodshed punishment for a change? The other way has failed to bring results. OLD HICKORY --The Buffalo News, 18 December 1943

So, eleven-and-a-bit years ago, I wrote the only written narrative in Minecraft: the story that appears after you kill the Ender Dragon. (A narrative which players often call The End Poem.) Today, I officially librated that ending. Er, what does that mean? 🧵

Maybe the end of an era as the use of ' (single tick) as a package separator may be on the way out in Perl. github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/2…

This implements the first part of RFC 0015, which states we should warn on the use of ' instead of :: in identifiers.

In 1826, Louis-Philippe commissioned the painter Horace Vernet to paint the Battle of Valmy. Louis-Philippe and his younger brother occupy a small but significant part of the frame, in the foreground presenting a report to a higher officer — the 1820s version of a PR campaign.

LIFE magazine captured this image outside of Rialto Theater, a skid row flesh palace on south State Street, in 1966. At that time, the venue offered a nudist film — Let's Go Native — and a live burlesque show to their clientele. #Chicago #photograghy #1960s #burlesque
