"He burned our libraries. Why did he do that? It's so destructive. Can you think of anything more evil?"
"I can, child. There is something worse than burning a library."
"How!"
"It happened long ago, this was a time when books were not rare as they are today. Everyone had hundereds of books."
"Hundreds! No!"
"Thousands."
"Oh!"
"So, the new kings realized they couldn't possibly destroy all of the books. They would always miss a few."
"What did they do?"

Great article from @stargirl describing VCOs and digitally-controlled oscillators (DCO) and why you may choose a DCO to avoid temperature-related frequency drift

Old digital cameras turn out to be great for kids:

- They come without all the invasive crap of smart phones
- They boost creativity
- They teach user interfaces and controls outside "push shiny moving button"
- They teach basic software concepts like files (yes, knowing about files is a skill) and how to move them around

And probably more.

Coming up next: MP3 players!

It is good when computers make a sound when they are thinking hard. Computers used to click all the time when they accessed their hard drives and it was good cuz you could tell if it was working or frozen. Just now I started a long Rust build. The fans went on high. I was like, oh cool, I can half close the lid and when the fan eases off I'll know the build is done. 25 seconds later the fan stopped. Oh no, I thought. That's too soon. There must have been an error. I opened the lid. I was correct

Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.

Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

It seems Hungarian education is going so great that one teachers union (we have two of course...) felt that after years of doing nothing now it's time to issue an outraged communique about...

... having to switch to MFA on government portals.

My humble opinion is that these bureaucrats should be reassigned to the job of cleaning dog shit off the streets.

Fearsome File Formats by @Ange is a follow-up to Funky File Formats. He explores file fuzzing, hashquines and ways in which files can contain unexpected things (for example different files altogether!)
