This is great: Boltzmann brain. The idea is roughly that maybe it’s more likely that your brain (or this entire galaxy) just randomly coalesced rather than evolved from the big bang as we believe it did.

I have conjured a rabbit hole for myself: we fall into the illusion of free will.
Why Split Lexing and Parsing Into Two Separate Phases?

Today I was checking out bare-metal systems available from OVHcloud.

You are the future
I purchased a picture frame for a thing that I’m doing, and it came with the following as the default picture mounted in it. Aw. I’m gonna stick that on the wall.
Git from the Bottom Up
I found Git from the Bottom Up over here. Gonna try reading it today.
More shelving!
In addition to the new shelving I’ve added two more bits.
One is a shelf for my Chumby (or anything else) and the other is a 10cm plastic protrusion which I can use to hang my headphones (or anything else).
Those green drawers are made from cardboard and needed a little extra support under the left hand side on the bottom which is why I stuck one of my 4.5mm PVC sheets under there (but I also needed something to attach the 10cm protrusion, so two birds, one stone).
Those PVC sheets I’ve been using were 4.5mm thick clear Nanya PVC cut to order at 254 x 174 mm by Plastics Online. I had to order a bunch of them to meet the minimum order requirements (I think I ordered 8 and they sent 9).
There’s space between my three stacks of drawers for one or two component boxes, so looking forward to making something interesting to stick in those.
Temperature Conversion
Got my temperature conversion chart printed and installed so I can talk to the Americans. The HTML I used to generate the charts is here.
