For the geek-intersection of #jewish and #science_fiction - if you travel back in time to before the giving of the torah, are you bound by it? That is, does your obligation bind to *you* (so you are), or does it bind to the torah itself (which in this time does not yet exist)? I suspect there are actually relevant sources, as this type of question comes up with other things (like vows). Do you know a source?https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/296209

My father had an ancient Mac laptop that I couldn't wipe (one of the feline OSs; wipe wanted CDs). I went to the Apple store for help (either wipe or remove the hard drive so I can recycle). It drew some attention from techs who hadn't seen a working "Blackbook" in a while. (I hadn't heard that name before.) I was told it was in excellent condition, other than being slow & not supporting a modern OS. I left with the hard drive & they'll handle the rest, nice! Sticker on hard drive said 2007.

@krra@indieweb.social @kagihq@mastodon.social oh there it is! Thank you. I'm new to the iphone (switched from Android recently) and I don't yet understand their model for the two places to put settings -- why some go under Settings -> Apps -> (app name) and others are in-app. I thought I'd checked both places but I guess not, 'cause it's right there. Much better now; the address bar is in its proper place.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org oh, that's why your name sounded familiar when it crossed my feed. You're *that* Lauren! I remember you from my early days on the ARPANet and Usenet, though I was a nobody and you'd have no reason to know me. But it's neat to run into people who made an impact, decades later, and I couldn't help saying so. :-)
Strange #TerraformingMars #boardgame moment: only needed one more temperature bump, but it was worth playing Deimos Down (which gives three) because I could pay for it entirely with otherwise-unused titanium and discounts, but an asteroid for the last bump would have cost money that I needed for other uses. This feels...abnormal. :-)

@NicolasRinaudo@functional.cafe oh, I didn't realize that, thanks. I don't know Scala myself; I'm trying to help someone out, consulted what looked to be good documentation but couldn't figure it out, then thought to ask here.

@NicolasRinaudo@functional.cafe probably not worth it (at least yet) unless you already have an account and feel like adding a comment. With luck, someone who can give a fuller answer will see it and do so.
