Really excellent episode from @MacroVoices, where @ErikSTownsend spoke to @energybants, about nuclear power. Learned so much about small modular & LFTR molten salt reactors, Diablo Canyon. Also got shoved towards the @DecoupleMedia podcast, and have been binging ever since

I’ve become so lame that I water-down fizzy water. After making shandy out of 0% beer and 7Up zero, I didn’t think I could sink any lower.

In my team of 10 twenty-something software engineers, none of them had heard of Bill Murray. Film is dead, isn’t it?

Someone made a plugin to convert hardware description language to a factorio base layout. If we can just reverse the plugin, engineers will be able to produce hardware by playing computer games, and the cycle will be complete. github.com/Redcrafter/ver…

The word ‘grandiloquent’, meaning using flowery language to impress people is a mundane word while everyone uses it, but as usage drops, it becomes a self-justifying (autological) term i.e. using the word grandiloquent is itself grandiloquent.

Just read a review that describes a book as “a no holes barred account of how tough the sword fishing industry is” 😯

Nice article by @CJHandmer about the economics of Starlink, the SpaceX global satellite internet offering. Starship & mass production will give SpaceX a huge lead. I’d like to read a discussion of the geopolitical implications. How will China firewall it? caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/11/02/sta…

My new favourite (old) band: the Au Pairs, from Birmingham, UK. Active ‘78-‘83. Sharp hooks and resolute lyrics, with a patina of post-punk grime. Joy Division meets Savages. youtu.be/xjbBr1_rSD8

I’m going to say it: craft beer has gone too far. They will flog any old shit. Who the hell wants to drink a 11% tarragon saison matured in marmite barrels at £9 a schooner?
