Before the Web could do anything, HyperCard did everything. Somewhere around 1988, my landlady struck a deal with me. She would buy a Macintosh computer, I would buy an external hard drive, and we would leave this system in the living room to share.

Before we drink from the cup of fate, dear, let us drink from another cup, together. Perhaps a sip before death will not be denied us by heaven in its madness. Omar Khayyam. Spiritual prisons. The meal was very delicious. It must be admitted that the cooking here was excellent. At exactly half-past two, as I had arranged with Nastya, I awaited her in the alley from which […]
Last summer, we announced in the Optane blog the Optane DC Persistent Memory — Optane memory based on 3D XPoint modules in DIMM format. As stated then, the delivery of Optane modules began in the second quarter of 2019, and by that time, enough information had accumulated that was missing during the announcement. So, beneath the cut […]
