I don’t know but the suggest makes me so happy.

Try your local library.

I love that proco being a pig is treated as mildly weird. His relationship with the fascist government is more important to the plot than that he is a pig. No one else is an animal. It’s just a thing that happened to him. You can tell it’s a big deal to him, but no one else really cares. You could remove him being a pig and the story still works fine. It just makes the regret and inadequatecy more obvious.

I think I like Howel’s Moving Castle more. But it’s close. That one gave me a whole author.

I think it was the EPA’s National Compute Center. I’m guessing based on location though.

When I was in highschool we toured the local EPA office. They had the most data I’ve ever seen accessible in person. Im going to guess how much.

It was a dome with a robot arm that spun around and grabbed tapes. It was 2000 so I’m guessing 100gb per tape. But my memory on the shape of the tapes isn’t good.

Looks like tapes were four inches tall. Let’s found up to six inches for housing and easier math. The dome was taller than me. Let’s go with 14 shelves.

Let’s guess a six foot shelf diameter. So, like 20 feet circumference. Tapes were maybe .8 inches a pop. With space between for robot fingers and stuff, let’s guess 240 tapes per shelf.

That comes out to about 300 terabytes. Oh. That isn’t that much these days. I mean, it’s a lot. But these days you could easily get that in spinning disks. No robot arm seek time. But with modern hardware it’d be 60 petabytes.

I’m not sure how you’d transfer it these days. A truck, presumably. But you’d probably want to transfer a copy rather than disassemble it. That sounds slow too.

Not looking at the man page, but I expect you can limit it if you want and the parser for the parameter knows about these names. If it were me it’d be one parser for byte size values and it’d work for chunk size and limit and sync interval and whatever else dd does.

Also probably limited by the size of the number tracking. I think dd reports the number of bytes copied at the end even in unlimited mode.

What a fun tool! It only looks at your public projects rather than your activity. I think. But it really is neat. Good use of ai. Nik approved.

I’m with you. Words change.

There are still good southerners. But it’s hard sometimes. I still live here but I’m weary for my kids. It’s fine for now.

I wish you peace with your family. Whatever that means.

I used gerrit and zuul a while back at a place that really didn’t want to use GitHub. It worked pretty well but it took a lot of care and maintenance to keep it all ticking along for a bunch of us.

It has a few features I loved that GitHub took years to catch up to. Not sure there’s a moral to this story.

We knew spooks were all up in the phone network. They’d show up and ask installers to run them some cables and configure ports in a certain way. I was friends with folks who were friends with the installers.

I work on software for finding things and summarizing stuff. We were one of those Apache 2 -> other relicenses a while back.

I can’t really talk about specifics. But we all have a working imagination though. I think about it a lot. But I still do the job. There are good folks doing good things with it.

We can be heretics together. But you’re wrong. It was the best of the three because it commented on the universe.

I wanted to love TFA. So much promise wasted by repetition. They had an es-storm trooper! A super emotionally damaged Vader worshipping anger Jedi. The wiggly light saber. I should have loved it. The characters were so cool. But they didn’t do anything new. Felt very design by committee.

In TLJ the characters did new things. It didn’t all feel right to me. But it was new. I loved Luke’s story. War stories should leave their heros damaged. I loved the worthless dirtfarmer parents. Everyone can’t have special parents. Even Poe’s stupid story with pink hair general was a commentary on how ruthless rebels have to be. People die. You can’t waste resources. There was a lot wrong about TLJ but it tried.

And ROS had one good line. That’s it.

The actors deserved so much better. They worked hard. They loved star wars. They wanted to make something good.

I’m a pretty good engineer. Not the best I’ve ever met by a long shot, but I’m good. But I’m very outgoing for an engineer.

Ironically, that’d describe both my parents too.

I had this one weekend when I was in tenth grade where I did nothing but write code on a fun project. Then I decided I didn’t like writing code. I don’t know why. Kids are weird.

I decided then I couldn’t make it my job. I managed not to program for three years. It turns out I’m bad at everything else. Miserable.

That was 22 years ago. That’s still all I’m good at.

Pre-merge code review should stop that kind of thing. I honestly haven’t seen anything like this in years.

Chrono Trigger. The Magus Fight. The music.

FF6. Magitech Factory. Also music.

Metal Gear Solid. Psycho Mantis. Late at night. Tired.

Eternal Sonata. Last Fight. Intro line.

Hades. Final boss. Extreme measures 4.

NES Tetris. Crashing.

Windows -> RedHat -> Windows -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu -> RHEL -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Arch

Amazing

The sky above the port.

I put googly eyes on things.
