The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That's what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.
Ah, like the Cone of Silence from "Get Smart!"
One of the noblest and saddest characters in one of the most cruel stories ever written.
Yeah, I should have taken a cross-sectional cut to show what was inside. Next time....
I don't know if this will fully meet your requirements, but my combination, which I'm happy with, is Moon Reader Pro on my Android devices and Ubooquity on my server.
Moon Reader has a Sync to WebDAV option but I haven't needed to use it. If you're not inclined to pay for an ebook reader software, there is also Librera which is free.
Seasoned vinaigrette.
Any of the 90s horror anthology shows. Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Friday the 13th: The Series heck even X-Files and Buffy. I don't think we've had a decent horror anthology show in recent years. Black Mirror is less horror than just plain meanness sometimes.
My daughter just started school. She's pretty stoked about it, and so are we.
Desktop application Trash folder Joplin now support a trash folder - any deleted notes or notebooks will be moved to that folder. You can also choose to have these notes permanently deleted after a number of days. Support for the trash folder has a somewhat long history in Joplin since it's an ob...
Just drip for now, but I'm going to try it with French press and Aeropress soon.
Smoothest brew I've had in a while, no hint of sourness or bitterness.
Sorry, all gone! (It was yummy!)
It would help if we knew even just a smidgin of what these titles are.
My wife used fried tofu in this case. The tofu brought the texture while the sauce and the other garnishings carried the flavor.
PyCon 2024 showcased a number of ways to speed the pokey Python programming language including sub-interpreters, immortal objects, just-in-time compilation and more.
Found this stray cat while out on an evening stroll.
Using genomic techniques to change the color of plants to make it easier for robots to harvest them.
For several years I was using TTRSS, but this year I moved to a Miniflux instance that I host at home. I couple it with an instance of Wallabag for saving articles for later reading. I like the experience of the Miniflux PWA app better than TTRSS.
Is it east vs west, or man against man?
Can any nation stand alone?
The key idea from the article is --
...Companies making more than $5 million annually by using Post-Open software in a paid-for product would be required to pay 1 percent of their revenue back to this administrative organization, which would distribute the funds to the maintainers of the participating open source project(s). That would cover all Post-Open software used by the organization.
I enjoy the D&D alignment chart.
Too slow and talky, exacerbated by stiff and clunky dialogue. Your enjoyment is premised on prior knowledge of mainstream Marvel superhero history, and the series wants you to admire how clever it is by flattering you how clever you are to know all that secret lore.
Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance”
...replacing the previously hydraulic version.
Insert obligatory welcome statement here.
APT44 is a threat actor that is actively engaged in the full spectrum of espionage, attack, and influence operations.
What's worrying about this report is that it's coming from Google itself.
With Russia's full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group’s operations in support of Moscow’s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable...
...Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm’s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term.

The Synthetic Memories project is helping families around the world reclaim a past that was never caught on camera.
Dozens of people have now had their memories turned into images in this way via Synthetic Memories, a project run by Domestic Data Streamers. The studio uses generative image models, such as OpenAI’s DALL-E, to bring people’s memories to life. Since 2022, the studio, which has received funding from the UN and Google, has been working with immigrant and refugee communities around the world to create images of scenes that have never been photographed, or to re-create photos that were lost when families left their previous homes.

On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt "sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License," and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.
