grep? are you talking about the cli tool or some other "literature"?

SW42@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 41d

I only know about the cli tool, is there another grep?

Great, I love the recognition of Nirvana and R.E.M as exponents of jazz and reggaeton!

I swear I'll never again complain about multi threaded python.

Lol much appreciated. That's one of my favorite bits in the book. Sort of how we think of everything between Gregorian chants and Stravinsky as classical music

Oh wow, I think this is the first time I've seen analognowhere referenced outside of the the fediverse community where pmjv posts their artwork.

I'm halfway through the logs; I'm finding them much more compelling than the initial story - something to do with the tone(s).

Thank you for writing/making this!

Thank you for reading it!

To me the logs are the real heart of the book, where the actual things I'm trying to say get more into focus.

I think you're gonna like the ending if you liked everything so far, it really wraps everything up.

Yeah, I had to shout out analognowhere. I think he's one of a handful of artists that are writing about a similar topic in a similar style. I really like their work, it inspired me.

Also, the open-source katana is a reference to OpenBlade.

Hey pmjv, thanks for dropping by! You're an absolute legend and I couldn't have made this (for better or worse) without your work.

I read the one with PKI keys a while back on medium and loved it. Will read everything later :)

I'm glad the book (and Eurobeat) found its audience
