    That whole section of the Dewey system is strange. Programming, computers, journalism, library science, then witchcraft, the unexplained, fung shui, tarot.

    Like why aren’t the computer books sorted next to science and math topics? Or electronics? Who decided this? (Dewey was long dead before people started writing computer books).

      That classification is the general information section, and deals with info and not how its used. Seems like when computers came about they saw them as information storage systems.

    one time, when making a game in godot, i encountered a bug that only happened if a line was empty. If i added anything, even a comment, it got fixed

    i ended up rewriting part of the code to fix another bug, which also fixed this, and wasnt using version control since it was for a 2 day game jam, so i will probably never know if it was caused by ghosts or not
