I had the tab open for months, and finally bought my first book and signed up w/ Tertulia.com—a "co-op bookstore."
"Tertulia is co-owned by our co-op members, a community of avid readers. This means that we put the interests of readers, authors, and a healthy book ecosystem first."
It costs $25/year for free shipping & 20% off retail price. Which beats Amazon prime (if all you're buying is books).
I'm curious to see how this goes. Anyone else a member?

From 1987 to 1992 Xerox PARC ran the Colab (Electronic Meeting Room) project to study how computer technologies could support face-to-face-meetings. The researchers designed a conference room with specialized equipment such as networked Lisp Machines, a room-scale touch sensitive projection screen, and collaboration software in Interlisp.
This post by a Colab researcher summarizes the project and links to more in depth papers:

Obama's pastor said "God damn America" and it was like a month-long news cycle that ended with him changing churches.

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, check out my new strategy board game side project.
I had a lot of fun working on this throughout January and some of February. Give it a try!

“JavaScript Bloat in 2024 @ tonsky.me”
This is obscene. JS payloads this big are just outright broken on low- to mid-range devices. Here I am, worrying about every K that ends up in the final project payload, and these assholes are just outright shipping a dozen MB to every visitor. https://tonsky.me/blog/js-bloat/

American political coverage is like:
[DEMOCRAT] This person is kind of old, or maybe they wore an outfit some people didn't like once. They also possibly had consensual sex with another adult at some point. How can rural voters trust them?
[REPUBLICAN] Tom Slaver believes women and Black people shouldn't be allowed to vote, and that we should give babies guns, abolish democracy, and imprison anyone who reads a book that isn't the Bible. Why do Democrats hate this kind, misunderstood man?

Looking for a #Python library that would cache the most fresh responses of HTTP requests and only return cached ones in case of connection or server errors.
requests-cache doesn't do the trick: it either returns stale responses or crashes on connection errors.
Doesn't have to be HTTP-specific, really. Think of it as a general memoization with failover. But lru_cache from stdlib also doesn't work as it prefers the cached value over the available fresh one.
Last chance before I write my own!
