came across COMFY-65 the other day, I forget how. https://oneofus.la/have-emacs-will-hack/files/sigcol04.pdf

It's a compile-to-6502 assembly language implemented in emacs lisp, with the main thing it provides over raw assembly being structured flow control. (of course you can just use lisp as a macro assembler too, that comes for free.) uses an extremely neat trick of emitting code _backwards_ so that it always has enough context to generate the most efficient branch instructions in a single pass. extremely my shit.

Note that "chrome" here has nothing to do with the Google browser. Google stole the name from what was previously the Mozilla-internal name for "browser UI components".

RIP Tom Lehrer, a man whose music helped me see through political bullshit when I was just a kid as clearly as seeing the craters on the Moon through a brand new telescope.

Wikipedia has a bunch of great stories about him. This one was new to me:

In 2012, rapper 2 Chainz sampled Lehrer's song "The Old Dope Peddler", on his 2012 debut album, Based on a T.R.U. Story. In 2013, Lehrer said he was "very proud" to have his song sampled "literally sixty years after I recorded it". Lehrer went on to describe his official response to the request to use his song: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?"
