This guy is the coolest type of hacker.

very nice, thanks for the link.

Mastering nethack was one of my proudest achievements in a way that is incredibly embarrassing, but also the only people who know nethack enough to be properly embarrassed for me are also the people that might understand my pride lol.

My guess is it’s like a slur for “C-suites” aka the CEOs and CFOs and bean counters who want you to buy more games and only play them for a few days so you can spend money money on the next game.

The devs are happy if you enjoy their game but the businesmen are unhappy that you aren’t spending more money.

If I am correct on this crazy interpretation then I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

So essentially they won’t go to sleep because they don’t know when their next long rest will be.

Yes but you haven’t heard this guy’s mother saying it in her native accent. It really gets the blood flowing.

Wow I actually thought it said “gods.”

It just put on its hide boots and walked away?

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

Dance off for hambe

🟥🟥🔵👷I guess were doing memes now.

“Oh my God lmao”

My understanding is that the laws about getting in trouble for accessing something on a computer are basically “if they didn’t intend for your to access it and you access it then that’s all that is needed for you to get in trouble.”

It’s basically right up to the line of making a hyperlink that says “oops this was a mistake to hyperlink this, please don’t click on this link we did not intend for this to be linked” and if you click that link then you are illegally hacking.

People in Florida got in trouble for accessing COVID data that was just “hidden” in the non-displayed html of some government webpage. The way they “hacked” the data was by pressing Ctrl+U to view the source of the public page.

Me talking to the autistic kid in the back of the daycare stacking blocks and enjoying it a lot: “Enjoy your block.”

The autistic kid:

The hardest line of the matrix is when they say “so I will be able to move faster than bullets?” and the other guy responds “nah that won’t be necessary”

Those food based subversion names are all alphabetical. I guess back then they didn’t have enough avocados in the code to call it “California style” so they went with “Cupcake.”

n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.
