@shriramk Somehow, I've ended-up with five copies of that book,

@shriramk those women were strange, it made me quit bartending

@shriramk Nice title for a romcom love triangle.

@0x0ddc0ffee Bravissimo! That rocks. Excellent choice.

I have only one. There was one copy for sale in Bangalore (US edition, so ridiculously expensive by Indian standards). So I went and won a trivia contest whose prize money covered its cost. So I'm not about to forget I own it.

My copy still says "$14.11 Rs. 237/70" on the front page ("Rs." = INR). I guess the exchange ratio was 16.8 at the time. Now it's 91.6…

Color me intrigued.
And repulsed.

The color shapes interlock and are the same but mirrored

@shriramk One was in a dusty corner of a little used book shop that somehow survives to this day, a block from the campus of the University of Washington. Another was presented to me by a mentor after I finished The Little Schemer, along with a pink paperback edition of George Polya's _How to Solve It_, and a well-worn copy of _The Annotated Alice_ containing a bookmark from the same used bookstore. Another two, both 25th anniversary editions, were regifted to me on the grounds that I'm "one of those Lisp people.", nearly a decade apart. The fifth, I have no recollection, at all. I've been meaning to find new homes for at least 3 of them. My first copy is falling apart, and I'd to keep the one given to me by my mentor.

@shriramk *SPOILERS* in the end, the tortoise gets the girl. (Cut to a devistated Achilles)

@shriramk It's the party that keeps coming back to itself.

[hyperzonk@tech.lgbt]

@shriramk It's the ultimate irony that what some people are touting as AI doesn't know that title. Or maybe the self-reference was too much for it.

@shriramk I love this one 😅⤴️

Autocorrect should burn in hello

A Bjork remix album right there.

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@shriramk considering the contents of björk's music video of same name, it's apt.

[nesevis@hachyderm.io]

@shriramk A strange loop, indeed

[brainwane@social.coop]

Ha! You have reminded me of https://akaptur.com/blog/2012/12/18/git-add-p-the-wave-of-the-future/ :

> besides being useful, all the docs sound like an episode of The Bachelorette. “Once you have decided the fate of all the hunks, if there is any hunk that is chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.” And if not, our bachelorette takes the million dollars!

@shriramk That's a fun book you tried to type the name of.
