Dear Lazyverse! Anyone tried http://www.lambda.cd for some real work? What's your impression?
Got a MacBook at work. Boy is this thing oversaturated! How people do not see it?

Another reason I’m glad Google Reader is gone: it left room for third party readers to flourish, some of which are now focusing on privacy.

I'm strongly of the opinion that you have to have RSS (or Atom, etc) in order to actually have a blog. Otherwise you just have a website with some pages on it, no matter what you call it.

"Satire is meant to ridicule power. If your are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying."
Terry Pratchett
"La satire a pour but de ridiculiser le pouvoir. Si vous vous moquez des gens qui sont déjà blessés, ce n'est pas de la satire, c'est du harcèlement."
Predictably, unsalted potato chips turned out to be rubbish. But I had to try them!

I have a thing: listening to "Dream On" covers on YouTube. Here's my two recent favorites:

"What do sex workers want" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJRBx0JjM_M
Excellent systematic evidence-base case for decriminalization of sex work. If you care about human rights, it's a good thing to listen to and spread.
Woohoo! I finally have working home backups again!
In other news, looks like recovering data from my old dead NAS is a forgone case, as it's going to cost close to a thousand dollars, and even though I do value some of my old videos, it's just too much :-(

Знакомый с некоторыми тюркскими корнями всегда ржал над населённым пунктом «Красный Кут». При чём я даже как-то этимологией не интересовался, крайний же юг, так и думал, что оттуда корень. Но, однажды, полез посмотреть. А «кут» на старом русском — «угол» :) Ср. — «закуток» :)
You know how when facing a difficult choice between two alternatives they tell you to put pros of each choice on a two-sided list? Well, they never tell you what to do when both columns come up as perfectly equal!
It's been several hours, and I can't decide. And I need to do it today…
(Sorry, just venting here!)
