"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

If you make money shorting a stock, who do you make money from?

SomaFM is streaming music on 46 channels and it is all free (but give Rusty some money if you can). Just saying.

Furlongs per fortnight. This was a real unit of time on VAX/VMS systems.

One of my favorite movies, and more relevant than ever today.

If these kinds of machines interest you I highly recommend the book "The Supermen" by Charles Murray. It has all the details you would ever want on Seymour Cray and others in the b…

I'm preparing to open source some code I have and I explicitly do not want it used to train AI in any fashion. Is there an open source license that prohibits this?

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

After 40+ years of writing C I'm going to learn Go. Is "The Go Programming Language" still the way? It is 8 years old now and the language has seen more than a few changes between …

Many, many years ago I saw a Connection Machine running. Let me just say it was not a machine that you just walked by. "What the hell is that thing?!?" was more like it.
