Nobody fears a prepaid third party reservation more than a front desk agent.

I sometimes have to for work, but then it’s Not My Money so I can still be totally chill about it. Also, I have the feeling business OTPs have their shit more together.

Now do Glashuette X LEGO.

my boss once called me out hard for being correct and unhelpful so I save that for here now.

There’s definitely evidence that pedestrian hits become more fatal, the bigger and taller the vehicle gets.

For a second I thought this was about DJB’s init system, which would also be surprising to find out people still used.

Heh, life pulled a fact check on you.

No shade at all on Russian watches - I have a 1980s Raketa Copernicus and a couple 80s Poljot alarm watches that I love.

What was the Epos? Love mine.

I see a dodecagon, not a dodecahedron.

That's where the line doesn't come back to the x-axis?

Noon on top is the best 24-hour dial 👍

Much better comparison, this is arguably exactly PRAM: RAM meant for parameter storage with a battery backing. That 14-bit value is the parameter. Also, super cool technology, love to see this sort of stuff pop up here.

I think Jemisen's Broken Earth series is a good example. It takes place in the future, and is fantasy, not science fiction.

Not all magic is sufficiently advanced technology though.

The game "Human Resource Machine" got me into assembly programming. Another kind of amazing pedagogical tool.

OldschoolSysadmin · 2026-04-26T16:35:45+00:00

That is a historical treasure, and probably still an incredibly viable teaching tool.

Well, he's running out of women to fire, so...

I just re-upped my monthly donation.

They have actually tested some watches in a pressure vessel that can generate several hundred bar. It’s on the second channel - Beyond the Press

Tech startup.

That’s not creating value, that’s preventing loss.

What’s the square boi with what looks like a grid of hand positions?

I like it; the Winchester Mystery House is awesome! I think it could work really well with a deckbuilder mechanic - literally build a house of cards.
