Thoroughly bonkers upcoming ASPLOS paper from some UCSD folks: making competitive cloud servers out of old Android phones they bought on eBay. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3575693.3575710
do people use anything like yeoman these days, like, if you want to scaffold out some set of files in a repeated way for a web project. i never used yeoman enough to have strong feelings about it but i also feel like maybe people moved on? but to what??
ever since i first heard it in ~2005 or so, this song by naomi hall has been an intrusive thought that revisits me at the absolute most inappropriate times. i just have to share it here. i looked it up a while ago and it turned out that it had been rerecorded and in my opinion those new versions lack the joie de vivre of this original.
i'm only on a handful of discords, but very few are as Committed To The Bit as much as cloudcore's, just super fun attitude, makes me feel like i'm in a 21st century MUD populated with a bunch of djs and producers http://cloudcore.ninja
probably because i'm not on twitter anymore, i missed that yukihiro takahashi had passed two weeks ago. last year, i went on a huge saravah kick, he said much later that he was embarrassed by the album, but it's a real gem and really a great time capsule.
