Wenn du wissen willst, wie das Internet funktioniert, google nach der Pflanze, die Jeff genannt wird.

Finde dann heraus, wieso sie Jeff genannt wird und nicht anders heißt (steht dort auch).

Diese Erkenntnis wird nach einer kurzen Weile dazu führen, dass dir noch andere Sachen bewusst werden, die wir Menschen nicht haben können, obwohl sie einfach verfügbar sind.

Lege dich dann schlafen, weil genug gelernt für heute.

A Short Film in 256 Bytes of Code

…

I found an old VHS tape at a yard sale.
It was labeled „Bitwise Liminal“ in sharpie.
But when I watched the video it was only static.

Then I started having vivid and… unsettling dreams.
Also I couldn’t stop thinking about that weird VHS tape.
After researching I learned it was a digital backup.
Using some special software I recovered the data.
To my shock, it was a 256 byte program…

With trembling hands I opened it in a web browser.
Strange. This reminds me of the dreams I’ve been having.
Now I don’t need to sleep anymore.
I just keep watching.

…

TIL that our standard Windoze mantra…

Windoze – reboot

…can be summed up into a neat technical term called Erlang’s approach.

Here’s written why.

The article also goes a bit into detail why this may not be enough.
For the time being, let’s keep it as a reminder that our used software nowadays is just too complicated to analyse deeply why it failed – let it crash and let it start anew is oftentimes better. It doesn’t remember the state before the crash? No problem: let the human do the rest. LOL.
