Old software guy doing a lot of opensource software these days, for a Very Large Open-Source Company. Mostly python and postgres now, but I've used too many toolsets over the years, and therefore don't know how to do Anything.

According to the book I'm reading:

"They say human brains have the storage capacity to hold everything on the internet, the equivalent of 4.7 billion books."

So, you don't have to worry! Unless you achieve immortality, no matter how many fun facts you learn, or books you read, your brain will never run out of disk space.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Look, I may have the disk space, but the latency is killer.

When the factoid you want isn't in the "main library" of one's Brain House, but rather in the storm-cellar in the Unused Garage at the end of The Wing We Don't Talk About that can only be reached thru the Childhood Trauma Gate of Fun, it'll be next month before you can get it out of your mouth.

At 2AM, to your cat - after which you will promptly reassign it to long-long-long-term storage again.
