Floating-point rounding errors as an energy source: In one simulation, robots learned that small rounding errors in the math that calculated forces meant that they got a tiny bit of extra energy with motion. They learned to twitch rapidly, generating lots of free energy that they could harness. The programmer noticed the problem when the robots started swimming extraordinarily fast.

"The Librem 5 is, arguably, the first smartphone available that focuses on privacy and security because it does not exploit nor track the userโ€™s digital footprint. The Librem 5 features, hardware kill switches, layered security protection, decentralized and IP-native communication, user-controlled sourced code, and hardware encryption." fosslinux.com/21079/long-antic #privacy #security #purism #librem5 #linux #smartphone

Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.

@jonah Niice! Maybe I will contribute in the future.
I notice a problem with the icons of the tags (posts, sysadmin, tor, etc)

@neauoire I really really liked Riven... Even as a purely visual library for explaining dependencies & stuff, it's still amazing.

@neauoire I'm considering to create a database with books, movies and bookmarks in Lisp instead of JSON / CSV / etc
I've seen people do that.

Also query the database like:
```
(org-ql (org-agenda-files)
(and (not (done))
(tags "bills")
(deadline <=))
:sort deadline)
```
This is so beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@neauoire Building stuff for fun is the strongest driving force and a good enough reason :D

But it makes sense to use Lisp just as a markup language.
Because you can have a dynamic markup with IF conditions, cycles, etc.

@Connor Luckily there are plenty of alternatives out there. self hosted Gogs.io, Gitea.io, git.sr.ht, Gitlab...
