Ah, a riveting binary search word game—because clearly, balancing the excitement of a #Sudoku puzzle with the adrenaline rush of the Dewey Decimal System was sorely needed. 🎉🔍🌈 Who knew that deducing a seven-letter word could be the ultimate workout for your inner librarian? 📚🤓

CW: Mention of sexual assault, Dewey Decimal System
"The Father of Modern Libraries Was a Serial Sexual Harasser
Melvil Dewey helped create a new profession for women—and harassed them at every step of the way."

Holy crap, the guy who developed the Dewey Decimal system was known for sexual assault and being a white supremacist and anti-Semite. 😬 😱

Must actually be because the books I ran across earlier were "knitting and sewing" and filed with knitting around 746.432 and tailoring is at 646.2 -- why they are not next to each other, a mystery. #deweydecimal

I have a feeling that the study of systems composed of feedback loops (all of creation, I dare say!) will be of interest to you.
I understand it is called "cybernetics".
Please find attached an amusing 1949 Letter from the US Library of Congress to Norbert Weiner, asking him in which section his book "Cybernetics" is supposed to be.

Today in library news, I learned my local library uses the Dewey Decimal System not the Library of Congress system. Oh dear, I've forgotten the Dewey Numbers for the things I usually need.

So in the process of shitposting a Dewey Decimal System joke yesterday, I was slightly astounded to see that there are a zillion ways to look up a DD call number based on a book's title or ISBN, but shockingly few tools for just traversing the hierarchy to find what DDN might apply to a category I have in mind. The best I could find was a PDF summarizing them.
Now granted, this was all in the support of a shitpost that at best would merit a chuckle from a person or three (mission accomplished I'm happy to say) but I'm dorky enough that I might want to make another such joke in the future.
So now I have a (partial) SQLite database with tables for the Classes, Divisions, and Sections and I'm starting to knock out a silly little Python tool to let me traverse the DD "namespace" so that I can more easily follow the path from "Beer" to "600: Technology" to "610/640: Medicine and Health/Home and Family" to "615: Pharmacology" and "641: Food and drinks" for the next time I want to knock out a goof that no one will get.
What is wrong with me? Also, is this DB or tool the sort of thing anyone but me might be interested in?

Just found out that somebody has organised BBC #InOurTime in #DeweyDecimal.
While we're about it is there room for a literary spin-off 'In Our Tome'? Or microbiology 'In Our Slime'?

Heading to a couple of libraries to drop off their #geocaching journals, to be put in the correct location according to #deweydecimal. May look for a cache or two in these areas while we are there. #MidMissouri #DBRL
