This time it was. Maybe there's actually a bunch of unreported "dark debris" hitting roofs of people who aren't NASA aficionados with Xitter accounts :)

Is it possible to use this libgourou to fix this situation? So that it's possible to both pay for books and read them without wasting hours? I didn't quite understand from the readme if this is specific to library things. So far all solutions i've seen are either

1. Pay and not be able to read (on device of my choosing)

2. Not pay and be able to read wherever

3. Pay and spend hours fiddling with weird windows-only software and forget why i wanted the book in the first place

Is there a waiting list for Android? :)

Yes! "Moominpappa at Sea" is wonderful. There's melancholy, sea horses, mischief, the creeping gothic horror of the Groke, whisky and pipe smoking, existential crises, dilapidated lighthouses and confused fishermen. Something for kids of all ages.

https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/parallel-and-concurrent... explains how Haskell does async exceptions and cancellation, for comparison. I found that the most challenging chapter of The Concurrency Book, but even so it feels like a solved problem in Haskell (especially once you've read the next chapter, on stm)

I have an old note named the same as this blog post:

    cat /dev/sdb > backup.img # make a disk image

    cat /dev/sdb > /dev/sdc   # clone disk

    cat ~/Downloads/*         # play Russian roulette with your terminal

    cat > file                # minimalistic text editor, ^D to exit saving, ^C to exit erasing the file

    cat << wq > file          # nearly complete emulation of ed

    grep -r bongo . | cat     # shorter than typing --color=never

    cat -v file               # cause 20 points of damage to wizards of bell labs

    cat file > file           # empty a file without removing the file

    cat meow meow > meows     # duplicate file contents
