Project Gutenberg remove line breaks Updated 2025-07-16
Their txt formats are so crap!
E.g. for;
wget -O pap.txt https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1342.txt.utf-8
a good one is:
perl -0777 -pe 's/(?<!\r\n)\r\n(?!\r\n)( +)?/ /g' pap.txt
The ( +)? is for the endlessly many quoted letters they have, which use four leading spaces per line as a quote marker.

Conda Updated 2025-07-16
Conda is like pip, except that it also manages shared library dependencies, including providing prebuilts.
This has made Conda very popular in the deep learning community around 2020, where using Python frontends like PyTorch to configure faster precompiled backends was extremely common.
It also means that it is a full package manager and extremely overbloated and blows up all the time. People should just use Docker instead for that kind of stuff: www.reddit.com/r/learnmachinelearning/comments/kd88p8/comment/keco07k/

Silk Road (film) Updated 2025-09-09
We need a mini-series, this just doesn't have enough time. Notably, too much focus on dob, and not enough on the development of Silk Road iteslf. Though it is cool to see what his motivations might have been like. One wonders how realistic the character is. Though him meeting Ross Ulbricht personally sounds exceptionally unlikely.

As for his lost password and inaccessible Bitcoin, Mr. Thomas has put the IronKey in a secure facility - he won’t say where - in case cryptographers come up with new ways of cracking complex passwords. Keeping it far away helps him try not to think about it, he said.
“I would just lay in bed and think about it," Mr. Thomas said.
