Knife Children by Lois McMaster Bujold is a new novella set a few years after the events of the Sharing Knife series.
From the Author
Just as a point of information, "Knife Children" is not a children's story, despite the confusion the title has apparently caused Amazon's classification.
bests, Lois. - Shadow Captain by Alastair Reynolds is a welcome sequel to Revenger.
-
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is getting a second season. This was leaked yesterday ahead of the official announcement but then hurriedly pulled down, so I marked it as a rumour. Now confirmed.
-
Tomorrow sees the Japanese release of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid volume 8, Kanna's Daily Life volume 6, and Elma's Office Lady Diary volume 2. I didn't know of all the spinoffs. It's gone franchise.
Picture of the Day
Also featuring in Python 3.8. (Seriously, check out Kobayashi's computer screen when she's working.)

This time to post in the right news page:
Octa-level NAND SSDs? Seriously? The rollout of TLC SSDs was a total cluster-#$&, that eventually became passable. QLC SSDs were... underwhelming overall. Now we'll have OLC SSDs... that must be for the use case where you want your long-term data retention in your storage drive measured in minutes.

Remember that you always need to take any rumor on WCCF with a small block of salt. Micron's statement is pretty much a mic drop, and remember that QLC is just barely rolling out at this point; the idea that they're ready to drop OLC is pretty ridiculous, or they probably would've skipped right on past QLC.
