  Somehow I didn't notice that Darl McBride died in 2024? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darl_McBride Also, and this was something I missed the first time around, the group that was doing all the anti-Linux litigation, "SCO Group", that was just a schlub litigation machine holding company, but there was an earlier SCO that was actually making good UNIX products, and they were actually in Santa Cruz! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Operation ... we should boot some machine...

  I had heard of 100 Rabbits, but I just dug deep enough to learn about their little virtual machine, uxn -- all their software apparently targets this VM, and they have implementations for lots of different platforms, including very old ones. Curious if anybody has managed to make more languages compile to the VM, other than their unusual little assembly language... https://100r.co/site/uxn.html

  Inspired by @lindsey , our child's first command line command is "sl". She was insistent that we put it on her Linux machine. She is now looking at "man sl".

  One of my students came to office hours in full monochrome mime outfit with a beret and face paint, and before saying anything, put a red clown nose on my nose. NLP at Santa Cruz: we do things normal style.

  Alternatively I guess you could be a waltz maximalist and take the position that any song (or field of human endeavour, or concept generally?) could be a waltz *if you weren't a coward*.
