@crawshaw If you didn't know about "Tweeze denied", now you do: https://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/87/8239.htmlOf course being on the internet it is unattributed or misattributed, but it was done by Ron Hardin at Bell Labs. It was talked about in SciAm.

@danderson They claim to have 100PB of tape storage. I find that odd, but plausible. What I find odd is how small it is, and why tape is the answer for such a small archive.Perhaps my perspective is off.

@bradfitz @radkat Not just Apple. There was a time @reneefrench bought a magazine with Google Books but it never showed up, and after calling support a helpful person told her, "Oh, that doesn't work. Sorry."

@danderson Must be nice to have a reason to be hot-smashed, however misguided, rather than just be subjected to unjustified ad hominem douchery.

Anyone else notice how much Kratos, at least the recent version, looks like Ken Thompson?

@danderson Hah, that was common knowledge back in the day. That day is long past, though.A couple of years ago I typed in page 13 of the LISP 1.5 manual, as Go code (except I got rid of the a-list). It's a worthy way to spend an afternoon, truly a magical piece of code.https://pkg.go.dev/robpike.io/lisp?utm_source=godoc

@danderson The invention of structured scope was a big deal. Surprised that to this day there are still programmers who don't understand it, after the abuses of languages that don't understand it.

Well now it really is crickets. My Mastodon instance has been showing me only one or two messages, total, for a day or so. "Load more" is ineffective.The federated stream is fine.Problems at the forge?

@soaproot That's not relevant here. I know there are recent messages - ones I saw yesterday - that are not appearing today even when I reload. The server is stalled somehow.

@danderson I appreciate you taking the time to look at it. Thanks. There are shorter lisps out there, but this one has a few wrinkles I enjoyed making.The legendary status of page 13 (the original) is well earned.
