10 Times Government Officials Made Startling Claims
No, this is not that type of list. It doesn’t contain quotes like “God save the Queen, man” or “I tested positively toward negative, right.” This list is about claims made by government officials worldwide that sort of eclipse anything heads of state may have said (or will say in the future).

10 Fictional Species Designed for Battle
War is generally not something to aspire to. It’s a desperate measure to resolve one’s differences when all other options fail. Fighting forgoes people’s evolutionary intelligence and reduces them to their baser instincts. Such barbarism leaves both sides licking their wounds, coping with the pain and death that their actions have wrought. Granted, combat is […]

The VTech Socratic method
We’ve had a lot of fun with VTech’s computers in the past on this blog. Usually, they’re relatively spartan computers with limited functionality, but they did make something very interesting in the late 80s. The Socrates is their hybrid video game console/computer design from 1988, and today we’ll start tearing into it. ↫ Leaded Solder web log Now we’re in for the good stuff. A weird educational computer/game console/toy thing from the late ’80s, by VTech. I have a massive soft s … ⌘ Read more

Torvalds states the obvious: file systems should be case-sensitive
Apparently, the Bcachefs people are having problems with case-folding, and Linus Torvalds himself is not happy about it. Torvalds holds the only right opinion in this matter, which is that filesystems should obviously be case-sensitive. Case-insensitive names are horribly wrong, and you shouldn’t have done them at all.
