From reading Alf Henriksson's "Byzantinsk Historia", I gather that one problem with writing a history of Eastern Rome is that they wrote about war and politics and lots and lots about christian doctrine but precious little on

One thing I really miss in 2049 is the soundtrack by Vangelis. The one in 2049 sounds like a primitive AI trying to sound like him, sometimes just alternating between two chords for what feels like forever.

I read the first few novels. They are told in a matter-of-fact style, nothing very spectacular happens and Maigret is anything but charismatic. It sounds dry but the realism is very refreshing and must have been even more so at the time.

Is the "let it crash" philosophy a part of this or will a panic bring down the whole process?

Do you have the right to kill your child? You have a moral resposibility as soon as you get other people involved.

This is interesting. While languages like Python, Lisp and probably Lua can run on a microcontroller, they are never going to be completely trusted unless you have control over memory use. In Jinx it seems like you can/must define your

Why not carry a tiny paper calendar in your back pocket? I do. It's great! Quick and always avaiable. I used to use remind, but now it's mostly for birthday reminders. And work appointments require logging in to Outlook anyway.

From reading the title, I though this had something to do with golang being used in university classes. Is there a point to the custom of capitalizing most words in headings in English? It doesn't seem to improve legibility and you can

Greene is brilliant as always, but I found it to be a very bleak novel. You feel sorry for all the characters, because they have low self-esteem and are powerless to control their own destinies.

I think the joke was that Bond is such a gourmet that he is the only one in the room who knows that "LOX" means smoked salmon.

Well, interest rates have been very low for a long time, so renting money to buy an apartment was basically free. The politicians couldn't do much about that, but recently they introduced mandatory mortgage repayments. Not sure if it h
