The Death of Richard Dawkins: A short story by Steve Yegge
If anyone has worked out what his point is, please let us know.
Steve, please continue blogging. Nobody's figured it out yet, or if they have, we probably have few ways to confirm their correctness.
Why does this have 23 points?
Anyone able to help with these questions:
What are external events?
What is going on with Dawkins being out-of-body and able to influence the world?
How did Dawkins get from the date of his death to a simulation in the future? Is it because he was at the moment they've copied in their time bubble?
I think External Event is What We Are All Afraid Of: when the system must be rebooted, softly or hardly.
The cache and temp data is lost, the heavily imprinted / written data persists, and the function remains the same but probably some bugs fixed.
I'm willing to bet that the "neat programming language" he's referring to is clojure.
