"Books, plants, and babies, that's all you care about," my kid said to me once. And really the only rejoinder I could make was "...dogs?"

A teenager asked me for recommendations to get into science fiction. I know she reads fantasy, but I guess they are different genres to her. She said someone told her she should read Dune, and I said nooooo, you should not read Dune. I suggested Murderbot. What else should I recommend? #Bookstodon #BookRecommendations #ScienceFiction #AskFedi

Can anyone recommend me some (online available ;) ) CS textbook that explains Elias-Fano encoding (and SELECT queries on it specifically) in a readable manner? The original papers are annoying and my advisor just told me "it's popular enough that you can just ask your favourite LLM about it" and hell no #csacademia #csresearch #cs #academicchatter #shadowlibrary #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #llm
