Nice retro-demo/motivation for "what's the point of protocols/abstraction layers"[0].

Use case argument for an add-on programmable logic array / micro controller board as security interface / non-standard to standard protocol translation.

Wonder if Knuth was trying to determine how much tech one could generate out of a block device and still have a consistant normal form. (vs. yak shaving) --- looks like an infinate amount, just as long as (NP != P) & (shrodinger's cat is alive[0]). aka. shrodinger's cat not alive means no more suppositions. np is now p, so !NP = P can happen. lisp users call that closure. The complete inverse of physics, maximum font size for given context of !

C type casting addresses the issue so much easier, either (&*(NP) = seg fault ? B) or (B = &*(NP) ? seg fault).

Guess streams was a mixed analog / digital world thing[0]. Is 'curl' the higher order wave crest of LC_NETWORK (aka 'sane' http protocol reference to type bundled 0,1,2 file descriptors)

One can have curl as a bash loadable routine without the need to recompile bash. Headless or not, much more sane[4] than ctypes.sh[1] as curl binary epilog/prolog handle the non-http protocol items within the context of curl module/program. More relevant logic level related to topic beyond http protocol only curl : socat[2] and gnu netcat[3].

Ah, HN doesn't provide a way to conjure up * data tapes (comments not withstanding). Ebnf being battle tested for years & grepping the ANTLER[7] by the horns:

awk interpeting http stream via http protocol[5] via ebnf of http protocol likely to better handle the different protocal layers more gracefully than bash script. Would need to make sure awk is in bit mode and not character/byte mode to avoid line discipline issues / 'stty sane'[4]. Note:

Perl/python provide better layers of abstraction than shell coding for the different levels of protocols used in/with http protocol/ ebnf,Kleene* coding.[6] In shell, having a different command programm for every ebnf set/protocol level vs. awk, different ebnf for each Kleene* protocol level)

Guess the 'how do I post to lobsters?' secret is out[0]. aka snarf the mail distribution list. send out to mail distribution list. If worthy enough article, sent email gets posted/archived on site.

Nice light computational module for huds device. Random search engine project pick:[0]

Perhaps also basis for a table coaster 3d hologram[1]

Adding to card thickness / modularity:

   pop-up hologram display.[2][3]

   projected keyboard/display[4] & gain ability to respond to text messages!

?? add relevant wifi/port to connect to a projector/projection glasses / laser projector[0]

3 old micro ibm hard drives combined into rgb color space / diy laser image projector[1] might be able provide a bigger picture without exceeding DIY credit card size. kinda depends on laser size.

Ummm... a smartphone internal projector module more compact than diy stack of ibm microdrives / laser.[2]

Not worrying about size: esp32 laser dac : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YASnlB_t_U

cad/stl/cnc related files for 'automated assembly' via 3d printing pcb[1] / pick-n-place machine[2][3] would be nice.

diy 486 schematics (around year 2000)[0]. no longer available. Discription/overview[3]. :( But, current linux doesn't support 486 cpus.

Was turned into something commerical (?2002[2])[1]. Perhaps modern version would be the old AMD cyrix chips?

Food for thought:

Add a lambda fuction. Add list of condiments[0] such as let-us.

Forage/prove one can have a turing complete meal with bun? Easier than risking indigestion through bun/sheaf correspondence.[1][2][3][4]

Think that was a early computation thing -> CRT memory[0][1]

Perhaps the 'city block' heaters requiring similar sized AC condensors to provide control over Maxwell's daemon was the inspiration for the unix daemon process.

Optical computing makes fuzzy computations so much easier -> outgassing[2]
