And society doesn't have to keep paying artists. It's a terrible, distopian future, but there's nothing to say we can't.

Oh we're team public domain. But this repo is only an index and we don't control the upstream licensing. Check out gitenberg or unglue.it and reach out to @gluejar if you want to t…

I don't see a question in the parent's comment? Nothing in particular on the 055 page isn't canonical. But any other page on the wiki might contradict anything on any other page. F…

The release was moved back to September 7th. The book ended up being 2x the length, and extra weird to typeset and translate to audiobook. I quite like the existing audiobooks. The…

I can't recommend the author's novels highly enough. Terra Ignota, the first book being Too Like the Lightning.

Debatable. Venture capital in the technology market hasn't shown consistent return on investment in terms of revenue. Contrawise, the interstate system and the CCC were effective g…

I'm not sure who I would trust, but I don't generally trust university research departments to produce high quality, reusable software. Not that industry projects produce consisten…

An old roommate of mine had the opposite system that he called spite-driven development. He and a collaborator would always try to be the one with the latest commit in their shared…

Except that edge, safari and chrome are all derived from the codebase that Google controls

There are about 400 GITenberg books that have CC-by licensed covers provided by Recovering the Classics. If you're interested in using that art for your PDFs I can find you the ind…

It's not so much about just adding git to books, but git to the transcriptions of books from printed materials. There are errors in the transcriptions, many books are lacking forma…

Now I remember, that was the reason I wasn't more clear about the connection to PG when I wrote the website https://github.com/gitenberg-dev/giten_site/ . Since then my co-founder …

Gitenberg was one of the alternate spellings of Gutenberg in the 1400s.

You might be more familiar with another project the Free Ebook Foundation maintains: https://github.com/EbookFoundation/free-programming-books/ Which is one of the top-10 repos on …

[Standard Ebooks]( https://standardebooks.org/ ) has accomplished a lot in producing better ebooks of public domain texts.

Yes, absolutely. Apologies if that's not clear from the website. GITenberg started as an experimental fork of PG, but due to the work of Eric Hellman at the Free Ebook Foundation, …

I'm a big fan of standardebooks! They're doing fantastic work producing better ebooks from Project Gutenberg sources.

Unlike Safari and Chrome, Firefox doesn't have a financial incentive to prevent ad-blockers. In fact, they did extra work to their Firefox Preview (mobile) app to integrate an ad b…

Angband is 1990, Nethack is 1987

They also live underground!

Agreed. I run into Ned every 3-4 years, he always remembers me, and he's super nice and helpful.

Can someone link the list of packages that needed to be ported? I get the impression from this thread that newly ported packages won't be included in the next testing release, but …

This would be more suitable to large json files if used with the `--stream` flag. Here's my take on it: jq -c --stream ' . as $in | select(length == 2) | ( $in[0] | map( if type ==…

It was removed because it wasn't going to generate enough power without cranking it constantly. And the ergonomics weren't great for kids. They did end up making an add-on crank at…

Yep. The SATA hat takes in 12v, converts it to 5v power for the nanopi and has a molex connector for powering the hdds.
