Belay that, I do know. Some memories are quicker than others.

If you had said Bits and Chips, or maybe BoredAtWork I think I would have understood. I'm afraid I don't understand Duckpins...

Hopefully I can get away with making it an exercise in appreciating beauty, and not get high centered trying to push the cart one way or the other. Not that Spitzer is, but it is something I'm personally worried about.

It is good to see you too. I wasn't expecting anyone to be around.

I hope you are doing well, friend.

I was remembering all the fun we had in the book of Genesis as I'm pondering making a YT video with this premise .... Is Genesis 1 useful for teaching kindergarteners about the big bang? Kindergarteners being a good modern approximation of stone / bronze age people and what they would have thought if they had a view of the history of the universe.

The answer is surprising, it is more useful in giving a picture of the early universe up through the Eocene than it was when I was growing up. Strikingly so, even.

For instance, light wasn't just a spark at the beginning, but it filled the universe for hundreds of thousands of years until the great inflation cooled things down enough. Then it would have looked something like a vast twilight that we can still see in the cosmic microwave background radiation. And that is just the morning and the evening of the first day. It actually seems to play pretty smoothly through the rest of the days as well.

Thanks for commenting. It is good to hear from you again.

The question isn't whether we should replace filesystems, but rather if we should move core file system services *into* the filesystem. That is, should we embed all of the things that locate does into the filesystem? My answer would be "no" (I prefer single-task entities where possible), but making a filesystem "hook" wouldn't be bad (i.e., trigger X when a file is updated, where X might be an indexing operation). Perhaps we should standardize more metadata, where it is stored, and how it is accessed. There's nothing wrong with storing that *somewhere*. Whether it is the filesystem or elsewhere is a bit of an implementation detail.

You're buying a code.

Someone said it was money and said it had value, and people believed it.

I thought that PR was still partially without power. Maybe we should fix that first.

My wife and I teach a homeschool co-op, so we have had to do a lot of searching for low-cost solutions for mixed-mode classes. The same results would probably work well for less in corporate offices.

most artists are elitist insecyre snobs. just saying... I know a few.

art is something that makes you think or feel in the manner that the artist desires.

let's take a look at Christ-in-piss? Did it get you upset? Did you think it's obscene somehow?

More obscene than a statue covered in blood?

stranger in a strange land???

if you haven't connected that with the clear referne to exodus.

find a priest... well, rabbi.

what is really bother ing mE is that nooNe has mentioned the Heinlein corollary:

As a science fictio aythor gets older, he ismore likely to write about sex, explicitly, and USuallly with ans alienss

Please Note: Heinlein's first book was stranger in a strange land.

your looking for a contractor.,

a cool artist would deliver a landscape, and his message.

who knows though, I only got got art into the Smithsonian using a ball of string.

but hey, pom poms./

of course it's convenient, itp's his effing story, that won the hygo award of all hugo awards...

the really interesting thing is if you take the story in the negative,. what if you have a world that only sees the true light once every 2000 years?
