Honestly, the new professor wasn't too far off. I've often referred to "The Little Schemer" as "the best javascript book that isn't about javascript."

What a lovely, sumptuously-written piece. Thank you for sharing!

For me, this pattern is just common sense. I’ve had no more than one subscription active at a time for over two years. I keep a list of things that sound interesting, and when it gets to be more than a couple for a single provider, I’ll re-up. Why keep paying for content you don’t care about?

Of course, if you have kids, I can understand keeping the subscription meter running.

'Whet' means to sharpen (whetstones are used to sharpen knives, for example), so whetting one's appetite means to sharpen appetite, or to make one hungrier (for knowledge, food, whatever).

Sitting on a call right now where a guy is going on about how excited he is to mock out the entirety of a large e-commerce vendor's platform. It's maddening.

Severance had stronger Philip K Dick vibes than other shows that were actually based on his work.

And the people who are more muscular _know_ that BMI isn't going to be accurate for them. The complaints seem to be somewhat bad faith arguments from the population for whom it is accurate, but wishes it weren't.

As someone who also loves Bandcamp, I can't help but assume that enshittification is nigh.

Schwalbes are absolutely excellent (I've used the, regrettably discontinued, Marathon Supreme on my commuter for years), but they're still subject to pinch flats if you're using tubes.

I don't think you're being overly critical, especially since both user accounts seem to exist for the sole purpose of promoting the project.

You're generally correct about TNG, but I think that Worf's development and the machinations within the Klingon High Council roughly constitute a story arc that ran through the series.

SBF is more like the reverse Neumann.

Neumann went into WeWork's endgame looking like a fool, and emerged from it a rich wizard.
