clockworksoulon Microsoft makes Zork open-source

Somebody uses it! Yay!

You made my day

clockworksoulon 'Improved' Grok Criticizes Democrats and Hollywood's 'Jewish Executives'

It's rather telling that this has been flagged.

clockworksoulon Emotional support across adulthood: A 60-year study of men’s social networks

That's a very valuable insight. Thank you.

clockworksoulon How I've Learned to Live with a Nonexistent Working Memory

The difference here, I think, is a matter of degree. A perfectly normal trait can be a pathology when taken to an extreme. Consider the difference between feeling sad sometimes and suffering severe depression.

clockworksoulon Commercially available chairs in Star Trek

This is so obviously the product of a labor of love that it's impossible not to admire it.

clockworksoulon Show HN: Gort is a chatbot framework designed for chatops

It's definitely a term that's been in use for a few years, though it's not as widely known as some others. We definitely didn't make it up. :)

If you're interested, this might be a good place to start: https://github.com/exAspArk/awesome-chatops

clockworksoulon Safaribooks: Download and generate ePub from O'Reilly Learning library

I spent almost 2 years writing a book for O'Reilly. I get a percentage of book sales, and royalties on views in the Learning platform. This project is, very literally, stealing from me.

Please, just buy the book. I -- and many other authors -- worked very hard on them.

clockworksoulon A Student Just Proved Paradox-Free Time Travel Is Possible

Unless all of time is part of the same closed system...

clockworksoulon Docker Zen: Achieving True Minimalism with “Distroless” Images

Good question! In a case like that you'll have to be a little more aggressive about copying libraries from the build container.

I'm not super familiar with Ruby, but I think I found a decent example at: https://github.com/unasuke/distroless-ruby

clockworksoulon Smudge: Go lib providing consul like features using SWIM epidemic protocol

Author here. A pleasure to meet you. I'm a big fan of Hashicorp.

Truth be told, when I started this project I wasn't aware of memberlist, though I was by the time I finished. I was building something beautiful and I didn't want to put it down.

clockworksoulon Should I turn down a Amazon AWS job offer over this?

I think you may be misreading the section regarding projects that you develop on your own time with your own equipment (unless I'm misreading it, which is also very possible):

> "Any provision in this Agreement requiring Employee to assign rights in Inventions does not and will not apply to any Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of Employer was used and that was developed entirely on Employee’s own time, unless (a) the Invention relates (i) directly to the business of Employer, or (ii) to Employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development"

Note the operative phrase: _does not and will not apply to any Invention..._

clockworksoulon Smudge: A lightweight Go implementation of the SWIM epidemic protocol

Note that this is my first real project in Go, and that this will essentially be the first time that it's been looked at by eyes besides mine. It may have holes; possibly glaring ones. Please be gentle. :)
