    I love this book so much (Labyrinths, by Borges).

    I once calculated the number of books in The Library of Bable, and had to try a number of numerical libraries to do so. one after another they kept puking on the large integers.

    I also think of "the secret miracle" often.

    What a coincidence - I'm currently reading his collection Labyrinths. If you've enjoyed the short stories of Ted Chiang I'd highly recommend it.

    Given his themes, I wonder if the exit is just an illusion, or if you truly feel lost inside. Peak Borges tribute.

    Well I guess its neat they added a tactile map for the blind at the beginning of the maze, except the solid hard barrier at the bottom within the very narrow spaces and with hard corners is a massive tripping hazard even for people who can see.

    Hope they have good signage, or at least a debugger. A real-world recursive data structure!
