  1. @jfincher @bookstodon I love so many of the covers from these #books, the second chronicles in that edition are particular favorites. The Wounded Land is particularly striking. I seem to remember there being another great cover of The One Tree that I loved, but I can’t find it. Gotta finish the reread of these I started a few months back!

  12. @yerald @bookstodon This series of covers for the First and Second Covenant Chronicles. I've been on a hunt for HC versions of the 1st trilogy, already found the second.

  13. I've got a book handling quandary.

    I love used books, whether HC or PB -- they show signs of love and affection, and I buy them when I can.

    However, I also have several first edition HC's which are inscribed by the authors, which I keep pristine -- I put them on a shelf, almost untouched, and read the ebook versions instead

    How do others handle this? Do you handle and love your first editions, or do you preserve them and love the PB/EB versions?

  16. For the first time in several years, I can finally say, with confidence from first-hand experience:

  18. I submitted a PR today with some missing files into a curriculum I worked on last year. After a license check, the PR was quickly moved to the "Ready to Merge" state.

    Wait -- I submit a PR, and can merge it myself without review? In a public repo, owned by a bigger fish in this pond? No external verification requirements? Yeah, I don't think so...

    I decided to ask for verification, and I'm glad I did - someone found a problem a few hours later.

    "Can't machines build these faster?" he asked the woman, looking around the starship shell.

    "Why, of course!" she laughed.

    "Then why do you do it?"

    "It's fun."
