Curious human. I thrive on books, coffee, & big ideas.

I was involved with open source for decades but have pulled back because "AI" companies ignore copyright & licensing.

Old projects (GitHub):
• 🧠 gactar - create & run basic ACT-R models
• 📜 libE57Format - library for E57 point clouds
• 📜 GDExtensionTemplate - Godot 4 extensions using CMake

In my day job I work on bloodstain pattern analysis software for crime scene forensics. Now a published author!

Dismay! I bought "Westviking" by Farley Mowat a while ago and just started it, only to find that the appendices aren't included in the book; they only included a page with a URL and a QR code.

The intro suggests to read the appendices first and then references them in the text. How annoying.

Has anyone run into this before? Not something I would have thought to check for.

@Uair @cmconseils As a human without a mobile phone, I am starting to run into this... I walked away from an airport restaurant because they only had the QR thingy. "I don't have a mobile, can you give me a real menu?" They look at me like I'm an alien and shrug. "Nope". (I'm sure they had them, they were just being lazy.) So I went to a different massively-overpriced restaurant!

@RanaldClouston@fediscience.org @gleick@mas.to @bookstodon@fedigroups.social Loved this book. Read it years ago and then again more recently with my book club of two. Lead to some great discussions!

@moehrenfeld @Natasha_Jay This is *such* a pet peeve of mine. 😡 Reading & listening are completely different activities and use different senses. How is this controversial? It's not a judgment on the activity, it's just being precise.

@jaymeb@mstdn.social I've read a few of Steve Johnson's books and really enjoy his writing. Enemy of All Mankind is pretty wild (if you're into pirates 🏴‍☠️). Hadn't seen The Invention of Air, however I'm not really into US history.

Loved **Cloud Atlas **by Mitchell! Also really enjoyed his The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.

Thanks for the list!
