This interview with somebody who swam the Strait of Georgia is *brilliant*. She completely nails almost every question. >>>How long do you think it's going to take you to fully recover from something this intense? >>I don't think I've recovered from childhood, so probably never https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/b-c-swimmer-crosses-strait-of-georgia-under-nine-hours-9.7316260

Everybody seems to remember the 'don't copy that floppy' warnings, but the less-popular 'don't whisk that disk' campaign has fallen into obscurity. 💾 #FloppyDay

Oh. My. Glob. Made the mistake of logging in to L*nkedIn. It’s spitting out human refrigerators at me as a solution to climate change. Keep your economic units — I mean employees — productive by shoving them in a fridge for five minutes a couple of times a day.

So you remember how back when the internet was interesting and you could let your unused CPU cycles help towards finding extraterrestrial life? Back then I used to sometimes contribute computing time to the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. (https://www.mersenne.org) And I've just had a terrible thought. Difficult mathematics with the occasional positive win. Is this what essentially inspired cryptocurrencies? >.<

Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search - PrimeNet

Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search - Finding world record primes since 1996. GIMPS is an organized search for Mersenne prime numbers using provided free software.
