While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
It is not the responsibility of the people disadvantaged by a system to fix that system; it is the responsibility of those whom it advantages.

—
The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts without the careful review it described in court.

Hi everyone! I am Amanda Raybuck, an assistant professor in computer science at UC Davis where I do research in operating systems. I've worked on tiered memory as well as datacenter operating systems.
Outside of research, I like playing games (both video and board), biking, ice skating, and cooking. I have a cat named Cake who I will almost assuredly post pictures of occasionally.
"I've been active in trying to get people to register to vote," Dahmer told a reporter. "People who don't vote are deadbeats on the state. I figure a man needs to do his own thinking. What happened to us last night can happen to anyone, white or black."
“In January 1966, Vernon Dahmer, a well-off grocery store owner, announced on the radio in Hattiesburg that he would pay poll taxes for anyone who wanted to vote but couldn't afford it. The Klan attacked his home that night, throwing jugs of gasoline into his home and set it on fire. As the fire spread, Dahmer fired his gun to scare the Klansmen off and got his wife and kids out of the house. He finally made it out, but soon died from the severe burns and smoke inhalation.”
Kites!
Do you work at X, Tesla, SpaceX, or any of the litany of other Musk-owned companies? Bless you, there are good reasons, but, really, why? He's trying to shred the very fabric of our society.

#abcnews keeps turning on his mic. Weak moderation.
wondering if I should just go ahead and buy the entire local hardware store since I seem to be in the process of doing so one bolt at a time
In an outcome absolutely no one could have predicted, I forgot that I set my ChatGPT prompt to "Wrong answers only" and was really confused by the output.
These words should arouse concern: “Neither Oracle Corp. nor the Heritage Foundation responded to the Chronicle’s requests for comment.” [about Oracle helping Project 2025 “vet thousands of conservative candidates for a second Donald Trump term”]

New #DevReviewsCoffee!
My first EBUCD coffee! (East Bay Unified Coffee District)
It is the roaster’s choice from signal, which is a guatemalan single origin.
Beans: tiny beans, evenly roasted
Roast: light to medium, has the complexity but still mainstream
Grinding: Standard low-med roast resistance
Taste: It is definitely a step above coffee shop coffee but it stops short of taking risks. The roast was a month old and I bought it from the store which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a good daily coffee but will not win any ribbons.
Overall: 🫘🫘🫘 ½

This one? I don’t think that’s in NC.
