🎮 From Pac-Man to Nosh Kosh—retro games shaped generations. But many are vanishing.

Only 13% of classic games from 1960–2009 are still available. Some, like Jewish educational games by Yaakov Kirschen, who died on April 14 at 87, were almost lost forever.

Journalist Josh Renaud @kirkmanJosh Renaud explains why preserving niche software matters in the latest essay from the Vanishing Culture report.

엑스와 쓰레드에서 모나드글을 가끔 올려서, 함수형 프로그래머분들을 "낚는데요". (이 거 좀 더 좋은 표현이 없을까요? ㅎ) 방금 전, SICP 역자 분으로 보이는 분(추정)이 팔로우를 해주셨네요! 해커스펍으로 모셔 오려고 하는데, 쓰레드는 DM이 없나봐요.
