Four frame comic. This toad looks pretty satisfied sitting between two toadstools, where he is sheltered from the blazing sun. His facial expression suggests that he's happy there and wants to be left alone. But a toad's gotta have a mistress, doesn't he? And mistresses want things that only money can buy…money that can't be made by sitting under a toadstool… Soon you were almost broke, weren't you toad? You ahd a little money left and you thought you'd gamble it… it wasn't long before you owed, and owed big… It was Rubensesque [sic] Tony who made you the proposition: kill Fingers O'Toole and you wouldn't owe a dime. So now you're sitting in this bar with a gun in your pocket, waiting for Fingers to come out of the toilet…and he could be in there all night!…

“He told me,” she whispered. “Wintermute. How he played a waiting game for years. Didn’t have any real power, then, but he could use the Villa’s security and custodial systems to keep track of where everything was, how things moved, where they went. He saw somebody lose this key twenty years ago, and he managed to get somebody else to leave it here. Then he killed him, the boy who’d brought it here. Kid was eight.” She closed her white fingers over the key. “So nobody would find it.” She took a length of black nylon cord from the suit’s kangaroo pocket and threaded it through the round hole above CHUBB. ~ "Neuromancer", William Gibson.

"What is it about this bike shed ?" Some of you have asked me. It's a long story, or rather it's an old story, but it is quite short actually. C. Northcote Parkinson wrote a book in the early 1960'ies, called "Parkinson's Law", which contains a lot of insight into the dynamics of management. You can find it on Amazon, and maybe also in your dads book-shelf, it is well worth its price and the time to read it either way, if you like Dilbert, you'll like Parkinson. Somebody recently told me that he had read it and found that only about 50% of it applied these days. That is pretty darn good I would say, many of the modern management books have hit-rates a lot lower than that, and this one is 35+ years old. In the specific example involving the bike shed, the other vital component is an atomic power-plant, I guess that illustrates the age of the book.

A chart that is trying to show the differences between glibc, libsystem_m, and UCRT calculations of tanh for 0.5, 0.7, 08, and 0.9. The outputs are all a dozen+ digits after the decimal and the rows are the input and the columns are the results for the three platforms, making it so you can not easily compare the long strings of digits by having them aligned at the decimal point.
