One more. Some teenage panda who spends most of his time online. Of course, since Elseways is still around 1990 technologically, the computer he uses is a big boxy thing.
Why train wheels have conical geometry
1) #scihub is back online https://sci-hub.tw
2) This is an epic preface to a book:
The locals are terrified; no kobold clan has ever had as much dragon traffic as the Stone Boiler clan of kobolds. They must be plotting to take over the world!
Meanwhile, the kobold bathing crews are getting so expert at their jobs, dragons from all over the region have agreed to use the Stone Boiler bathing house as neutral territory.
Is it a plot to take over the world?
White Noise chapter 7 is kicking off today with a double update! We meet two new characters. They seem nice.

“Birdcage liners – Joel on Software”

about social bias in machine learning, aka "unbiased" classification of people (NIPS 2017 Keynote)
Considering pitching the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) Board on joining @Liberapay
Little concerned about not seeing other large US-based FOSS orgs on there like FSF, EFF, SF Conservancy
We'd need to check into accounting, legal, security, etc. before implementing anything, too
What do you think, Mastodon?
The beast is riding back downtown
The holidays have all wound down
And time's returned to its old track
As we all get our schedules back
There are no boats here and no planes
And Wondervale's too small for trains
The valley isn't very wide
A couple miles from side to side
A set of trolley systems meet
Commuters' needs to rest their feet
For some of us are inches tall
And some have got no legs at all
And though the beast's in walking form
It's cold outside. The trolley's warm.
Web development New Year's Resolutions: Take a different Angular, but do not over-React: start with a new Vue.
Commission of a buddies Dn'D character, Rybyyn!
The beast is giving things some thought
On what it is and what it's not
And what its style is meant to be;
Is this IC or OOC?
It's one thing to philosophize
And try to sound astute and wise
And quite another to invent
A monstrous form to represent;
Inhabiting this twelve-limbed one
Is more rewarding and more fun.
And so the beast will make it known:
Its world is not quite your own
It has some parallels, of course,
But nothing it would have to force
(To get a rough idea, think
About the world of Monsters, Inc.)
With this established, next would be
To post a picture you can see.
Expect this later on today;
The beast needs food, and so away.
The beast has had a holiday
And soon this year will fade away
So now it wants to spend more time
In chronicling thoughts in rhyme
A single day, at least one post,
On this account that it likes most
It feels this won't be hard to force;
It might post more things too, of course
A little art, a song or two,
Some screenshots of the stuff I do
So in this year, two oh one eight,
The beast resolves to keep this date.
