That must have been in the BBC version of Pride...

Lawrence Ellsworth's translations are good (he's a sword and sorcery writer), but good luck trying to disambiguate them on Amazon. Look for red cursive titles.


Hear me out- artisanal DRAM.


Every transistor carefully hand-wired with love, giving each bit its own individual characteristic, for more organic, natural data.


You've cracked the funding problem!

You need to sell the artisanal DRAM to HiFi hucksters. Get Monster Cable on board to say their cables can only reach peak warmth, punch, and clarity - when using gear with artisanal DRAM. You'll easily sell into that market at $10k per GB...


Some early memory was woven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory

We could bring it back.


This existed and it was called LOL memory (little old lady memory). It was knitted by little old ladies, being careful of which wires passed through which cores of course. It was ROM, not RAM.

I'm listening.


I guess no one ever audits your servers.


Bring back the Eisenhower dollar!


It is an accurate picture of Boulder though...


"They're all 80 year old ancients" is an "accurate picture" of a place where the median age is 28 and only 3% are actually that old?[1]

Boulder homeowners are not representative of the population of the city.

Like, a lot of the town is just kids at CU. Also, a lot of the younger families are in what little apartments or condos there are in the city and aren't homeowners. Also, like, you probably should only look at adults anyways as under 18s are very unlikely to have their own houses.

Granted a lot of 80+ year olds are in care facilities.

And like, maybe we can relax this to 60+ years olds, in which case based on the raw data there, that's about 18% of the population.

I mean, just looking around Boulder, the homeowners are old people, that's pretty clear.


It's literally any rich neighborhood.


I read Steven Levy too- the original hackers were model railroaders. And there are no true Scotsmen


I believe Adam Savage has relayed the Plumber's Manifesto at some point: 1 Shit flows downhill 2 Payday's on Friday


How did shunning and shaming 40% of the US population over the last 4 years work out?


Someone is a Tested viewer...


Wait, so you saw this already and didn't share it with the rest of us? How selfish!


My first thought as well
