That too, yes. General game server for a few games I play with friends, plus some datacrunching from time to time.

Learning Perl, 2nd edition

Nice try, Hollywood. Go have an original thought on your own.

It’s still there, but Google has no incentive to rank it particularly high due to SEO and how they make money.

There are indexes that are better at searching the small web, instead of funneling everything to Facereddittube l. Kagi is a my recommendation, but there are many others.

Made me think of XKCD 550:

I had the pleasure of dropping this in a work context not that long ago:

Hanson. Their curse was that Mmmbop became THE hit early in their career. Their later stuff is in fact alright and with a lot more skill involved than a single repeated hook.

Related on the same topic: Don’t wait for the perfect ingredients, get going with something that is good enough.
