From reading Alf Henriksson's "Byzantinsk Historia", I gather that one problem with writing a history of Eastern Rome is that they wrote about war and politics and lots and lots ab…

One thing I really miss in 2049 is the soundtrack by Vangelis. The one in 2049 sounds like a primitive AI trying to sound like him, sometimes just alternating between two chords fo…

Bank offices and cash is something I only see in old movies nowadays.

The best theme is to use brands of scotch.

She wrote in Swedish though, not Finnish.

This one is interesting: https://cdn.jetphotos.com/full/5/76042_1547934155.jpg Loudenvielle, French Pyrenees

Yes, I too though BASF was synonymous with VHS and cassette tapes.

I read the first few novels. They are told in a matter-of-fact style, nothing very spectacular happens and Maigret is anything but charismatic. It sounds dry but the realism is ver…

Is the "let it crash" philosophy a part of this or will a panic bring down the whole process?

Do you have the right to kill your child? You have a moral resposibility as soon as you get other people involved.

This is interesting. While languages like Python, Lisp and probably Lua can run on a microcontroller, they are never going to be completely trusted unless you have control over mem…

This is also possible in common lisp.

Why not carry a tiny paper calendar in your back pocket? I do. It's great! Quick and always avaiable. I used to use remind, but now it's mostly for birthday reminders. And work app…

Years ago I wrote a PDF generator for Passepartout ( http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/ ) from reading the PDF book. I though it was a well designed format. It is a binary f…

In Sweden, my grandparents' generation didn't even consider garlic food. It was something you had to buy at the pharmacy. The original Swedish meatballs were flavoured with allspic…

I have released v1.1.0 with Hemingway mode now.

Hemingway mode is a good idea! As for the man page, I don't want to recommend anyone to install files manually in /usr. The man page is there mostly in case anybody would want to p…

Of all the software I have written, this may be the one that has been most useful to me personally. If you find it useful as well, I'd love to know.

Greene is brilliant as always, but I found it to be a very bleak novel. You feel sorry for all the characters, because they have low self-esteem and are powerless to control their …

Oh no, a satellite virus! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_Strain

I think the joke was that Bond is such a gourmet that he is the only one in the room who knows that "LOX" means smoked salmon.

Perhaps women choose not to start a family at all if it means the end of their careers?

Well, interest rates have been very low for a long time, so renting money to buy an apartment was basically free. The politicians couldn't do much about that, but recently they int…
