  1. Discovered go language's neat %p completely by accident: 'fmt.Printf("*p=%s %p\n", *p, *p);' produces '*p=good bye %p(string=good bye)'
  2. Studied and annotated echo example in the Go language tutorial. Fun with UTF-8 chars in identifiers. Wrote mkfile for progs. Types next.
  3. Compiled (not in acme, Plan 9's tr breaks it) and hellowed new Go lang. Much studying, learning, testing to come.
  4. @mattpodwysocki Science, and pseudo-scientific thought, excels at making fine distinctions, on which marketers capitalize.
  5. @mattpodwysocki We saw NIC but not GE. Morimoto and Hattori seemed pretty clear on whether or not they tasted umami. What did Alton say?
  6. @cognominal Access has tradeoffs. Physical paper needs no solvent company, file formats, computers or electric grid; has better resolution.
  7. @marick "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun? ... I feel that the greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more."--Salk
  8. @guyma "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."--ۥThomas Jefferson
  9. @guyma Yes, we earned it by beating those who would beat us, by being smarter, and by harnessing natural motives for the good of all.
  10. @cognominal Ironic that by taking a picture, and sharing it with all of us, you made it far less transitory, almost permanent.
  11. @guyma I love my country every time I hear about some poor dissident sent to a hellhole prison and beaten for speaking his mind.
  12. 24 bags of leaves so far this season--thanks lawn bag funnel. Smaller rake has finer control, quicker stroke, and is less tiring.
  13. Imitation at the command line is the sincerest form of damn-that's-a-good tool-but-we-aren't-allowed-to-store-our-data-outside-the-firewall.
  14. Tonight, Nerd Food Network premieres Ace of Codes, feat. Diffie and Goldman's cereal treatise "New Directions in Cakeography"!
  15. @rickasaurus Should we be relieved?
  16. @srbaker Just finally being honest. Everyone knows nothing original comes out of Redmond.
  17. @wilw Show the crier Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The emotional porn will dehydrate them, and you can blame gibbering for not listening.
  18. @processtype In the middle of acquainting myself with UTF-8, courtesy of Plan 9's acme. Would be amused by those jokes.
  19. @wchogg @mattpodwysocki Taught self BASIC ~28 yrs ago (~10) on a TI-99/4A (later Logo on C64): dad gave me manual, subscribed to Byte et al.
  20. @shitmydadsays As someone who's written code for cell phones and systems, your father hit upon a deep and abiding truth. Nobody cares. :)
