I programmed data export to some xml over a couple of days. Sending xml results via email to an accounting firm for verification. A day after I finished my disk crashed and I lost all my code. Fed Claude with xml from my mail and... oh shit! ... got "my" code back. (And immediately paid for Claude subscription) :-)

When I moved out from my parents I took a box with aprox 100 floppies. I was pleasently surprised when only 2 were unreadeable all others were ok. The other box with CDs had a much higher "fault rate". Go figure.

CDs turned out to be terrible for long term storage, because the actual bits are pits in the very thin aluminum layer that's bonded to one side of the transparent polycarbonate disk. The back side of that aluminum often had nothing but a painted label to protect it.

DVD otoh, seems much more durable. The storage layer is sandwiched between two decent thicknesses of poly. But who knows, only time will tell.

Can't agree more. Thank you for standing up! I'm doing it for 20yrs (currently with mail-in-a-box) and only wish more people were doing it.

https://ShipmentPlanner.com - optimizing shipments to Amazon and 3PL. Got some clients and now I'm on to marketing (mostly emailing and LinkedIn outreach). It's tough.

What about amazon sellers? I'm one of them. Using my own saas. Wonder if there is someone that would need it too?

yes, there are some for amazon sellers, can you check on SaasNiche.com and let me know

Now find the spearehed, please!

Is it possible? What are the chances? Was bronze age production heigh enough?

Most ancient metalwork got recycled again and again, so while there is a chance, it would be pure luck.

BTW if you visit some archeological museum, the difference between Stone Age tools and Bronze Age tools is quite striking. In the Stone Age, each tool looks different, while by the Bronze Age, the spearheads etc. are so uniform that they could have been produced in a modern factory.

Yes and no. Here's a pile of 19 polished stone axes:

They're admittedly different sizes, but the intent to churn them out is clear. These things were ambiguously tools or currency: they were transported long distances and hoarded.

There was another, older, stone age industrial site in France that produced thousands of beads. The way I remember it*, there was evidence that they fed themselves by trading beads for food. It's interesting to me that a stone age lifestyle might for some people resemble factory work.

*My apologies if I'm confabulating this. I think it was in the Loire Valley. I need to track down what exactly I'm half-remembering here.

>It's interesting to me that a stone age lifestyle might for some people resemble factory work.

There was not only factory work but unpleasant factory work like making birch tar and rendering fat.

This is an interesting counterexample, thank you. It seems that in some places, some standardization was already present back then.

"Thought it might help others here too."

I sincerely hope OP didn’t post it 25 times, though.

And even here you haven't posted a link to your project? Omg. How do you expect someone will find you? What did you bild??
