Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

How every privatisation works:

1. Cut staff, increase prices, add debt, reduce services & restrict improvements.

2. Call the false savings 'profit' & syphon it from the business to shareholders.

3. Blame market conditions.

4. If the company fails, let taxpayers bail it out.

It's funny that they told me not to trust wikipedia in high school when at this point it's the only link in the first page of google results that was written by humans intending to convey information

Sorry you had to find out this way . . .

Most accurate summary every.

The Price of Salt is, in my opinion, a very beautiful novel. The recent movie Carol, featuring Cate Blanchett and Roonie Mara, is based in this book and rather faithful.

Highsmith's crime novels like Strangers on a Train are also brilliant.

CC: @sellathechemist@mastodon.social

All Highsmith's work is very recommendable. The Ripley series are very good books, special The Talented Mr. Ripley and Ripley's Game (which also was made into two movies: one by Wim Venders and a later one, better in my opinion, by Liliana Cavani featuring John Malkovich).

This _Plain Soleil_ french movie has a very different ending that the book and the remake movie that I consider more interesting and shocking.

«nadie se extrañará si os digo que no ha sido un éxito abrumador»

every part of this tweet is insane lol

for context, eightsleep is a ""smart"" mattress that tracks you, and apparently SF techbros use it a lot. Very nice of their ceo to illustrate their total disregard of privacy.

that said, it is also fucking hilarious that the data apparently does show that the techbros in SF are losing sleep over the openai drama lol

Alt...

tweet by ceo: Breaking news: The OpenAI drama is real. We checked our data and last night, SF saw a spike in low-quality sleep. There was a 27% increase in people getting under 5 hours of sleep. We need to fix this. Source: @eightsleep data

So, if the instruments are the hardware and the toolkit, and the interpreter is the compiler, then it's more or less true that music is the object and the sheets are the source.

Similarly, one may consider a MIDI file source code for music.

Hace poco descubrí que con el carnet de la biblioteca (España) se puede acceder a una plataforma de streaming muy guay. Se basa en tickets gratuitos (3 a la semana) y hay un montón de títulos que también están, por ejemplo, en #Filmin
La web es https://efilm.online/ y si tienes cuenta en cualquier biblioteca de España puedes acceder con los mismos credenciales. CORRIJO: aún faltan algunas zonas de España, aunque la idea es estar finalmente disponible en todas. En la propia página podéis consultar qué servidores hay.
La plataforma, aparte del contenido, tiene un inicio atractivo con buenas listas de recomendaciones. Es una web muy atractiva y se agradece el cuidado en este tipo de servicio público.

This exactly.

This is Ángel Ortega, crime and horror fiction writer and former systems programmer (on space, avionics and cryptography environments).

My first contact with a #UNIX system was on 1989 on a Sun Sparcstation 2 running #SunOS. I discovered #Linux on 1993 with the SLS distribution. I ditched all Microsoft software on 1999 and moved all my computers to Linux and never looked back.

My first encounter with #OpenBSD (inside a VM) was circa 2015. I was debugging a ground station software that was complicated as hell and had some memory leaks and was driving me mad; a friend of mine recommended compiling my beast on OpenBSD because the memory management is very different and it immediately crashed on a place I never expected. That filled my heart with bliss.

My first experience with OpenBSD in real hardware was on a laptop in 2020. Everything worked (except Bluetooth because, you know, there is no Bluetooth support on OpenBSD). I finally had to install Linux on that laptop because of reasons and my heart was a bit broken.

I now have OpenBSD on a tiny Toshiba NB 200. It's 32 bit, so no Firefox for poor old Ángel, but I don't really care because I used it mostly for fiction writing and remote server maintenance while on coffee shops, libraries or parks. Battery usage is great. Everything works like a charm.

I love OpenBSD because it's compact. It makes me feel like on a vintage UNIX system, simple and solid. Native tools and servers share lookalike configuration files. Man pages are awesome af. It includes a C compiler in its base system and that means "I am a real Operating System" to me. I love security is one of its main goals. OpenBSD hackers are brilliant, stubborn, unique people.

I don't love the filesystem.

I don't care that it's a bit slower than other OSes.

If you haven't tried OpenBSD, do it this October.
