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.

It's a hate symbol hon.

These four movies were all based on books by Richard Matheson. Which do you consider to be the best, and why?

Please boost if you can for a greater response.

The Vincent Price one is probably the most faithful to the book, but it seems like done on a severe budget with no passion. Probably a product of its time, as you say.

The Charlton Heston one is the most different. Basically, the "new people" are mostly proto-goth vampire/zombie mishmash. Mr. Rifle shoots them from a car while driving. Very forgettable.

I may be a little rude on the 2007 one, but all Will Smith movies feel the same to me. This one deserved to be better, but the end is so disappointing.

Aún no parece arreglado...

I Am Legend (the book) has been adapted into films three times: The Last Man on Earth (featuring Vincent Price, 1964), The Omega Man (featuring Charlton Heston, 1971), and this one with Will Smith. All three are crap.

Unlike sex work, my “good” jobs didn’t threaten to overthrow traditional power structures. Many sex workers, including myself, have long hypothesized that the reason so many people in power work to keep the commercial sex trade marginalized is because they’re threatened by it—by the idea that it’s the only field where women outearn men, that it’s an industry where women get to call the shots, and that women profit off something that men have been told they’re entitled to for free: sex and attention in equal parts. In my experience of the corporate landscape, there was none of this radical power structure, only an upholding of the traditional: men talking and women listening, men in powerful positions getting both credit and profit for the labour of women beneath them. Is this what I worked so hard for? I wondered daily."

6 Por tanto, he aquí vienen días, dice Jehová, que este lugar no se llamará más Tofet, ni valle del hijo de Hinom, sino Valle de la Matanza.
7 Y desvaneceré el consejo de Judá y de Jerusalén en este lugar, y les haré caer a espada delante de sus enemigos, y en las manos de los que buscan sus vidas; y daré sus cuerpos para comida a las aves del cielo y a las bestias de la tierra.
8 Pondré a esta ciudad por espanto y burla; todo aquel que pasare por ella se asombrará, y se burlará sobre toda su destrucción.
9 Y les haré comer la carne de sus hijos y la carne de sus hijas, y cada uno comerá la carne de su amigo, en el asedio y en el apuro con que los estrecharán sus enemigos y los que buscan sus vidas.

Mergesort takes the input list and treats it as a collection of small sorted lists. It makes log N passes along the list, and in each pass it combines each adjacent pair of small sorted lists into one larger sorted list. When a pass only needs to do this once, the whole output list must be sorted.

I think it’s difficult for us in North America to appreciate how contrary, rebellious, and frankly prophetic Sinéad O’Connor was in an Irish context. I lived there briefly in 1985, and so saw a bit of the place and time she was from.

It was a bit of a culture shock. I was 19 and not in school. I got a work permit and flew over to Dublin. I only spoke English at the time so it was kind of a toss up between London and Dublin. I didn’t think there’d be much of a difference it was all “Western Europe” as far as I was concerned — Denmark, France, Ireland, … all pretty similar right? Hahahaha.

Unlike today, Ireland in 1985 was a poor country. Deprivation had forced generations of people to emigrate to seek a better life. There were 4 million people in the Republic, but in 1845 there had been 8 million. The only country in Europe whose population declined over that period. 1995 was the first time in 300 years Ireland did not have negative net migration.

And it was pious. Sinéad called it “a theocracy”. There were no state schools. All education was in the hands of religious schools — overwhelmingly Catholic. Two years before, in 1983, the Republic had put a ban on abortion into their constitution. Condoms were illegal when I got there. In 1980 Bob Geldof had summed up his home town as “police and priests”.

It seemed a bit more patriarchal than the US in the Reagan years. But I didn’t know the half of it. It wasn’t until years later that I learned about the Magdalene Laundries where “troubled” girls were imprisoned in workhouses operated by orders of nuns, the Mother and Baby homes where women who were pregnant out of wedlock were kept out of sight to have their babies in secret, who were then taken from them and sold to American Catholic couples — and underneath it all the decades-long, quietly suppressed crime of the clergy sexually abusing boys and girls.

This stuff was not talked about in 1980s Ireland. But Sinéad did. She would not shut up. She would not stay in her place. She made original, passionate music. But if you think she caused an uproar in the US when she tore up a photo of the Pope on SNL in 1992 … well, in Ireland it was more of what she already was known for.

It was only later, in the late 1990 and 2000s that the scandals broke, and everyone could see that the crazy woman who would not shut up was right. She had been right all along.

The 2022 biographical film Nothing Compares is good. If you want to get the flavor of what she means to people in Ireland, go scroll through the expressions of grief pouring out on mastodon.ie

The woman was a giant.

I wrote a full blog post to read should you care. Covers some more of the background, design and future.

As for the az1 instance, I'm going to leave it up for a little longer, then restart without the subdomain.

If you ran a prerelease version and at any point had to run sqlite3 to fix the database, please discard and start again. There's some other minor damage to the database that will cause chaos later. Moving forward, there will be a database upgrade command. (I was going to increase the dbVersion for release just in case, but forgot.)

Once upon a time -- many, many years ago and late one night -- I entered the ARPANET (the Internet's ancestor) computer room at UCLA to do some work on ARPANET host #1 -- the DEC PDP-11/45 that was UNIX UCLA-ATS.

But something was wrong. The system was behaving very oddly. It was up, and not under heavy load, but ... it was as if it kept starting and stopping. When I'd type there'd be activity -- I could see it on the front panel lights, but when I stopped typing ... everything seemed to stop. I could get keyboard echos, and then a response ... but then everything would stop again.

Normal boot wasn't working either, but it was possible to reboot from the emergency DECtape.

But still clearly failing overall.

When we ultimately found out what the problem was, I was quite amused. The real-time clock hardware had failed, so the process scheduler was not cycling properly. However, whenever someone typed, the keyboard interrupt would push the scheduler so there'd be some action -- but then it would stop again until there was more typing and more interrupts.

Basically, the system was operating as if on a hand crank. Live long enough, and you see almost everything. -L

It's called azorius. It lets people post links to groups and comment on them. It lets you follow groups you're interested. Does it need explaining? It federates via activitypub.

The primary federation compat target is lemmy, which almost works. You can follow both ways. The representation of posts and groups should be similar. azorius can receive posts from lemmy, but lemmy currently rejects announce activities from azorius because the data did not match any variant of untagged enum SharedInboxActivities. Rustaceans are welcome to start here and embark on a journey of awe and splendor.

Compat with AP microblogging is pretty low priority. I've already got one of those.

There's a test instance at az1.azorius.net. You can't post anything until your account is approved, to control how much mess I need to clean up, but should be able to follow and subscribe if you'd just like a reader. If I know you, probably approved, but don't run to tell all your friends. Again: early access, low expectations.

The azorius source can be checked out and built on sufficiently powerful computers. It's only like 50%, or even 25%, done, but the work that's left should generally slot in to what's there. The major technology choices like javascript framework and build system have been decided.

Esto es como decir: «si me votas, la casa de tus viejos se venderá para pagar su jubilación y tú te quedarás sin ella». Y eso como propaganda electoral 😆

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me.

Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order.

I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you?

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.

And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.
