Sega decided to make a console-first online game. It was sci-fi from the beginning, but the Phantasy Star veneer was added later in development. The creators of PSO are on-record saying that the only thing PSO shares with the classic PS games are names of things.

Strangely, I posted this just a few days ago (I've been playing Phantasy Star Portable recently)

Good pun!

As a commuter cyclist of over 20 years, my favorite recent trend are is wearing a bike helmet and giant noise-cancelling headphones at the same time.

I hope your interventions help, and that you live a long and healthy life.

I just use index cards and a pen, but I wish I was a competent enough sketcher to make them look as cute as these printout templates. These look great.

The chain goes ever on. My Italian-Canadian aunts and uncles never forgot the Irish-Canadians who threw rocks at them on the way to school and called them wops.

That's what they meant by "too literally."

Username checks out.

It's ok, people in the life sciences are very accustomed to people from other fields assuming they are stupid.

How dare you have fun

Welcome to Hell, Reader.

(I liked the article, personally.)

They said "cut down", not "eliminate."

Yeah cpanel navigation is still wired into my brain stem as well.

I wonder how much of the web still runs on perl. I miss it sometimes.

This article needed more bullet points. /joke

Ah, got it. Thank you.

Again, I think the point is that compressed size is a reasonable measure of the inherent complexity of a program. I'm a crap mathematician, but I believe that is a fundamental concept in information theory.

I don't see it as fetishizing byte count. I think of it as a proxy measure for how complicated or uncomplicated the exploit might be. They could just as well have said "we can do it in 3 lines of python" or "the Shannon entropy of the script implementing the exploit is really small" and I would have interpreted it similarly.

Where do you see this "fetishizing" happening most often? It's a strange thing to counter-fetishize about.

GitHub literally getting ghosted

Tell that to the literal constant flow of old men I see driving pristine F150s in the metropolitan center of the Canadian city I live in.

There are economic mechanisms for this (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU_Carbon_Border_Adjustment_Me...) but broadly, yes, it is difficult.

Have you considered that "very weird writing style" might be due to the fact that a German person is writing in English?

One post a day over the last short period of time does not seem unusual for someone who is suddenly interested in a least a part-time career as an author.

Your random online persona assassination aside, I am curious about the book. The Devil Book kept me occupied for years when I was in university; I'd like to see what I've missed since then.

Veg-AI-tarian?

This is how I feel when I read any mathematics paper.

He had ad-Vance notice.

Not pedanticism. Pedantry.
