This website's cool, but I wish there was a way to find the geeks and gamers in the crowd.

Ok so I was familiar with “the dragon book” - the canonical textbook explaining compilers with a dragon on the cover - but apparently I somehow completely missed the existence of “the dinosaur book” for operating systems??
Peeked at my Steam profile and apparently my most played game is Cities: Skylines, at 1,507 hours.
That's nearly 63 days. Over two months. What the heck, me.

public transport opinion
Okay self-driving cars seem like a really good idea, but I don't think they're ready to use on the open roads yet. I'd suggest keeping them on a fixed route where no other vehicles can go to minimize risk of collision.
We should probably have fixed places where people can get on and off. The cars come in, open their doors, let people enter and exit, and then continue on their journey.
Speaking of which, we should probably also make them larger to increase efficiency and again, to minimize risk of accidents.
We could even couple several of them together into one combined vehicle.
And since they're only going on a fixed route anyway, it makes more sense to use steel wheels on steel rails instead of rubber on asphalt.
I know it's an outlandish concept, but I'm convinced it might work really well if we ever get to try it out on a large scale
@SwooshyCueb It's pretty wild how when you put someone whose supposedly real techy in front of a terminal they end up making the most stupid of mistakes.
Even I, who only has Linux experience from fiddling with RaspPi, found myself going "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT!?" a lot.
The name's Beeps.
Bat Beeps.

@ripp_ I also never really learned how to ride a bike.
As per usual, I blame living in places with abundant public transportation most of my life.
@ripp_ A HTTP header to do that actually predates GDPR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track
I made the rest of them too: https://berly.kim/blog/2021-11-22-star-trek-ahoy/
Also it's super late so I'm gonna have to finish this some other time.
Luckily, I am entirely the kind of person to be bored enough to try and fix it!
…In XboxAhoy's art style, because originality is hard.
The lack of consistency in iTunes' film thumbnails (or, more likely, the thumbnails provided to iTunes) is utterly infuriating.
I meant toot but it was already mid-loading bar when I remembered.
This tweet brought to you by deep cleaning my flat for the first time in like 2.5 years.
