"Interaction on the Web is a little like a mirror, like communicating with a manifestation of yourself. Because it is so chaotic, so decentralised, I find that using the Web becomes like communicating with a hardware version of me. It’s not exactly a doppelgänger, but an alternative version of myself."
We’re so sorry to hear that Guppe Groups have shut down.

"Reducing typing" seems to be an important value for some software developers. Is there some material origin to this? I.e. was too much typing ever a problem itself?
(Triggered by an add for an LLM that announced that programmers need to type less code, but the idea is not new)
We currently offer over 28 vintage systems for free remote guest access featuring historic operating systems, programming languages and games. BOOTSTRAP members may request personal accounts on these machines. Thank you for supporting our efforts at https://icm.museum

"The internet emoticon truly traces its lineage directly to Fahlman, who says he came up with the idea after reading "lengthy diatribes" from people on the message board who failed to get the joke or the sarcasm in a particular post -- which is probably what "given current trends" refers to in his own, now-famous missive."

Die Debütaufnahme des Ensembles Hespèrion XX von 1976
"Mit der Sopranistin Montserrat Figueras, dem Lautenisten Hopkinson Smith sowie Lorenzo Alpert auf Perkussions- und Blasinstrumenten gründete Savall in Basel das Ensemble Hespèrion XX. In der Debütaufnahme spürte es [...] auch jener sephardischen Kultur nach, die in Spanien mit der Vertreibung der Juden 1492 ein abruptes Ende fand."

"Ceefax was the world's first teletext service, going live on 23 September 1974. In a pre-internet world, the revolutionary system allowed people to check the latest BBC news and sport updates at the touch of a few buttons."

On the third day of #Christmas my true love gave to me... an essay commemorating the Feast of Saint John the Evangelist. Hopefully something as good as three french hens (or three dried squid, if you're local kine).

On the fourth day of Christmas we get... a pretty horrible story, actually. But, good news, it's probably fictional. Bad news, it's a fictional story meant to capture the all-too-real horrors of much of our world.

🧱 The secret ingredient holding the Great Wall of China together is sticky rice.
Ming Dynasty masons (1368-1644) mixed boiled sticky rice soup into their lime mortar. The result was a tough, flexible, water-resistant binder that has held brick sections together for around 600 years.
The chemistry: sticky rice is packed with amylopectin, a complex starch. In 2010, chemists led by Bingjian Zhang at Zhejiang University found that amylopectin acts as a template, steering calcium carbonate crystals into a dense, interlocking structure instead of large brittle chunks.
That compact microstructure is why some wall sections have shrugged off earthquakes and still keep weeds out of the seams centuries later.
