First in Fear and Then in Pain
Please see our Publisher’s Note following this month’s Editorial that has important information about a new threat to the survival of all SF/F/H magazines. CW: Car accidents, violence. I wouldn’t describe it as waking up. If you’ve been in a car accident, you know the violence. One moment, your life feels the size of your body, muscular years of loves and hurts wrapped around a thousand calcified tasks, a routine that bears you up even on the mornings when nothing makes sense.

It Begins to Snow
When it begins to snow, it never stops. Perhaps not for you, but another iteration of you—a manifestation of your wild possibilities. I hope it’s not you, for my sake. When it begins to snow, the sky comes down in sharp, precise fragments, and you press your forehead against the window and think: don’t ever stop. And it doesn’t. I don’t want it to be you, because when it begins to snow, the world ends.
When You Die on the Radio
Everyone hears Hunger die on the radio, and no one can do anything about it. His mayday is admirably calm for someone who is burning. He’s breathing heavily, but he doesn’t betray any fear. It’s a textbook radio transmission, the kind the other firefighters hope they could make if they were trapped and blind in a smoke-filled basement. Even as the house groans and gives up its life, he’s confident that his friends will come for him.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Traces by A.E. Decker
My master keeps my memories in a carved stone box tucked in a pocket of his silver-foam coat. I know where it is. I know where everything is. That’s why my master keeps me. He’s a great lord of his kind. Sometimes, when he’s pleased with me, he’ll open the box and let a memory slip out. It’s never much. A trickle of laughter. The profile of a face. The pieces settle into my mind, but never close enough for me to see the picture they should make.
Moov to Digital Banking on OpenShift
This is a guest post written in collaboration with the folks at moov.io. Moov is a portable, extensible, open source platform for embedding banking services within any application. Moov offers a secure, compliant, cloud-native architecture built for Kubernetes with lightweight microservices written in Go. This article documents our journey for supporting Moov on OpenShift. We built on our existing Kubernetes support with Helm charts to get going.
We Came Home from Hunting Mushrooms
On Saturday afternoon we piled into Ben’s old Civic, the five of us and two dogs, and as we drove out to the edge of the state forest to hunt mushrooms, we all kept a hand on each other, in case someone vanished. Ben was driving as usual, and instead of me up front sat Hunter, his new girlfriend. They’d been together almost a year, but as a far as I was concerned, Hunter would always be Ben’s new girlfriend.
On the Day You Spend Forever with Your Dog
When the dog dies, she doesn’t know she is dying. You shouldn’t feel sorry for her. To her, life lasts forever. § Infants and dogs recognize the flow of time, but not their presence in it. Psychologists show two films to a child so young it cannot comprehend the difference between itself and the universe. In the first film, water pours from a pitcher into a glass. In the second, time is reversed: water spirals out of the glass to replenish the pitcher.
Security risk of vim swap files
On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 02:35:59PM +0100, Jakub Wilk wrote: There's another problem with vim swapfiles. If you edit a file directly in /tmp, vim will happily read a swapfile that were planted there by somebody else. Local users could exploit this for denial of service (or maybe worse if there are any swapfile parsing bugs...). Is that a bug in vim? Or is it a user error to edit file directly in /tmp?
Ævum, by Nostoc
drewmusic2113 Nostoc are absolutely a band to keep your eye on. While largely tech-death at heart, extreme-prog is truly the only remotely fair tag for these Costa Rican maestros as Ævum traverses the scorched metal grounds hallowed by the likes of Beyond Creation, Dream Theater, Haaken, and so many, different others. Familiar yet unrelated soundscapes blend seamlessly, imaginatively and almost always aggressively.
