I don't watch Futurama, so I may be wrong in how the story goes. But I think he thought that he's rich but inflation shouldn't be much lower than interest (irl, it's actually way higher), so the 4 billion is likely worth 4 bucks or at most 4 hundred.

It seems like the episode treats him as legitimately rich, but you're right: assuming targeted 2% inflation, it's like $10. That's being pretty generous too, 1000 years is a long time to go without some kind of societal shakeup event where people stop honoring 800 year old numbers on a screen as legitimately valuable. It's not like there is any entity today who would feel obligated to give you $4 billion dollars for your 11th century banknote.

Nice (very) long notes. The HUGE lake that's shown on GMaps does not exists??? https://maps.app.goo.gl/i8mFwGtpCNES6n2o6

4 hours on TurboExpress may be pushing it. I think it's more like 3hrs+. There is no disappointment though as any kid should be amazed that getting that kind of graphics (one and only full current gen console -- none of the 2 older gens made it) into a 2 gameboy sized system for 3+ hrs is quite impressive.

Wow, that waterfall is majestic.

I don't know Claude Code, so if it's "neither IDE nor extension", what is it?

It's a CLI tool

Love the UI! Beautiful and great for exploration.

Thought why would they open one so close to another, until I just found out the 3255 Mission College Blvd one was closed.

Yep. Glad they're coming back.

Not all market share are equal, like iphone vs. android. Also, the value for the leader will cost more than the second in line.

Typing with one hand on the keyboard and one on the built-in trackpad?

I have it placed below the keyboard, like in a laptop. I don't see how the right or left side placement is good for hand travel time. If I don't mind that, I would have used a mouse.

Ah, I use mine exclusively on the right.

Willow is one of the most ignored, underrated movies ever.

It did eventually did get a series, although I guess the series was let down and there are people who wish it had been ignored a little longer.

It's absolutely a classic though. It's a shame that the genre isn't as popular as it used to be.

The series was so bad that Disney took it down from their streaming service.

It did get on a bunch of "most watched" lists, and it wasn't grimdark like all fantasy needs to be nowadays.

I'd argue it's much easier to make an iconic movie (you shoot and statistically at some point you hit) than a good series based on it (you already have the expectations set high, you need to surprise so as not to bore but keep consistency with the overall mood etc. - a very demanding task).
