Rubin's new translation of this classic Murakami re-discovering the story in compelling ways: a must for Murakami fans!

Finished part 1 of 4 of the Cleansing of Poisonville, the short story serial that became Red Harvest. I read Red Harvest in college, and remember really liking it. But I don’t remember a lot of details except that there a lot of violence and a lot of people end up dead.

Having now read all the short stories that led up to it, I have a greater appreciation for not just the evolution of the character, but the growth of Hammett as a writer.

#Lafineenota di #GeoffreyHolidayHall pubblicato in italiano nel 1992, è un thriller psicologico che gioca magistralmente con il concetto di destino ineluttabile. Un #romanzo dove, come suggerisce il titolo, conosciamo fin dall'inizio l'esito della vicenda... #libri #libro #leggere #unolibro #unolibri #giallo #noir

In the middle of the city’s ‘Red Light District’ stands the “Oude Kerk”, the city’s oldest building, founded in 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣6️⃣. Its vast wooden ceiling, gives the Gothic interior a unique atmosphere. 🧖‍♀️🕯️

The church shifted from Catholic to Protestant after the 1️⃣5️⃣7️⃣8️⃣ Reformation. Many locals were buried here, including some prominent figures, like Saskia van Uylenburgh, Rembrandt’s wife. 🪦☠️ 🎨

Now a cultural venue, it hosts exhibitions, concerts & art. Though no longer used for services, its historic soul remains alive at the Oudekerksplein. ⛪

“Oase GVB” is a well-known Amsterdam graffiti artist. “GVB” refers to his former graffiti crew. His work appears in different spots in the city, like “De Jordaan”, where a piece called “They Call Me Zombie” appeared. 🧟‍♂️

This particular artwork is located in the Spinhuissteeg in the city’s center. 🌆

Why is static single assignment form weird?

Because, for the sake of mapping to hardware, it awkwardly mushes two separate digraphs together: a control flow graph (CFG) whose arrows point forward in time, and a dependency graph (DG) whose arrows point backwards in time.

Designwise, how can we improve this configuration?

First, we flip the edges of the CFG so that each basic block points to all blocks it comes from instead and the respective condition for each.

I started #nobodywantstodie on my #PS5 last night & can tell this is fitting into some very specific tastes for me. It's set a few hundred years in the future, in a VERY #cyberpunk New York, but with a glaring 1930-40s vibe. It feels part #bladerunner, part old-timey detective movie, part bioshock even (with style and how first person is handled). It oozes visual flair, focuses on neat tools to do detective clue finding & thus far I'm absolutely in love with it!

🎥 In the tense and brilliantly shot film noir He Walked by Night (1948), Richard Basehart plays a deranged cop killer. Directed by Alfred Werker and an uncredited Anthony Mann.

Cinematography by John Alton. Currently included with Amazon Prime Video in the U.K.
