Sobre nuestra compleja relación con la propia piel escribí en mi último correo, acerca de cómo funcionan los tatuajes.

reading Genius Makers is good however I can't help but feel bad while reading the part about the Google, Meta, etc, poaching the market

the mix between the book Elements of Computer Systems and Crafting Interpreters by @munificent.bsky.social is literally the best
on one side, first book is an in-depth detail of the computer as a whole, starting from NAND gate and the other is the part where the first book lacks depth: interpreters
