10 LP/hour works out as ~20000-85000 records/year (1 shift to 24/7 operations); with 100k items (not all LPs) in the collection and an additional 285k donated records this is going to be a rather lengthy project unless they're able to scale up. I hope they can and do, since like with old book digitization projects doing a single libraries worth of items only captures a small subset of the total historical record.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

When our brains take in too much information back-to-back (i.e., we see one image, then immediately see another), a bottleneck—or jam—of signals causes us to not be consciously aware of certain visual stimuli that our brains actually recognized. ... Sorry, I forgot what I was going to see

Google employees have accused their employer of creating a surveillance tool disguised as a calendar extension designed to monitor gatherings of more than 100 people, a signal that those employees may be planning protests or discussing union organizing. Google parent company Alphabet “categorically” denies the accusation. Google spying on people? That's so unlike them.

With plenty of mics and cameras at disposal, AI has gotten good at ‘seeing’ and ‘listening.’ But one human sense it hasn’t got around much is smell. Tetrahydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methylpropenyl)-2H-pyran by any other name would smell as sweet

I was reminded too late that I should have used 8 or Vista there. But then I forgot they existed.

Recently I looked closely at what it really means when a certain programming language, tool, or trend is declared to be ‘dead’. "'E's resting!"
Because sometimes I just have to post something to see y'all mock the author. Or at least the title (I mean, who has time to read stuff?)
If I were to pick a list of three languages *least* dead, it would be these three.

JavaScript is one of the most popular languages out today, who the hell thinks it's dead?
Java has been the most popular language on ranking sites for decades, why would it be dead?
In fact, the article states "it’s simply bizarre to suggest that Java is ‘dead’ or ‘dying’: it’s de facto the most widely used programming language on the planet"
Same for C.
Perhaps the author does some wishful thinking and the title should be "3 programming languages that should've been dead, but definitely aren't"

I was going to say... did we just not have an article posted saying it was the #1 language now (something about we're doomed too).

C is still the basis, so a bit nonsense to have it on the list, unless you target a non-tech audience who might actually be surprised.
VB6 should have made the list; still in use, even after Microsoft declared it dead years ago.
