that's a wild theory, considering that Tolkien himself described Gollum to be "a small, slimy creature" after the revisions, probably because of Jansson's depiction of him. and although the parallel is clear between many characters of the Hobbit and the Bible, do you have any credible sources that Tolkien took inspiration from apocryphal texts (or in this case the Hadith) ?

Also with the rapid advances of vision language models, I would be surprised if we don't see image-to-text-to-voice system that works with real-time video in a not-so-far future! Like a reverse "Genie" where instead of providing a prompt and it generates a world, you provide a streaming video and it spouts relevant information when changes happen, or on demand, for instance...

I don't think it's out of the ordinary, sadly. Bell Canada has been known to do just that. They can use the IMEI.

Oh yeah, walnut is a great dye. No need for mordant, too. And everytime I drink nocino (an italian liqueur made with unripe walnuts), I'm wondering what my insides look like, haha!

It's wasn't just "an MS employee". It was an experienced postgres developer. Someone who understands the benefits of open-source.

We simply don't know how many backdoors there are in closed-source software... do you prefer to live with your head in the sand?

Better in what way? Restic is well written, and is "mature". Rustic, is still considered "beta" software.

Hey, it's not stupid if it works! In the context of this particular game, I can't see why it would be a bad idea. Even if you need to conserve some kind of state... gzip the whole thing and copy it elsewhere, it's going to take seconds!
