Check out the History of the Germans season on the Hanseatic League [0]. The bulk goods trade was in the Baltic / Northern Europe was actually huge. The Hansa themselves traded all the way from London to Novgorod. Anyway, it's an

"Politics is the art of ignoring a problem until it goes away." I forget the source of that, but it makes me chuckle.

Oh man, thank you for sharing. To be clear I am quite aware just how broad and incisive Steve's intellectual range was, and his commitment to using it for the betterment of humanity. The details you added are proof positive of that. He

This is a super cool visualization format, and really tremendous work from the authors. I got to interview Steve (via the web) in the summer of 2023. It was really humbling and amazing. I'm glad the author got to share this extension o

It's actually pretty boring. When I say "accent color" I mean a single pixel border around the selected container. The waybar is text, and the text is all bright green on a black background. The active desktop has a single pi

Legend. My sway setup is everything as all black as I can get but with any accents as small and bright - neon green and eye bleeding magenta - as possible. So Fluorescent speaks to me. I remember as a kid using 3.11 and win 95 and cycling t

Oh my goodness! I - really did not- expect to reach the author himself! Hello sir, your work is rad and am excited to see the zine! My partner and I run our design studio on Linux these days and so we're always on the hunt for software

Does Scribus have the customizable bindings like GIMP, where you can download someone's helpful remapping of the Adobe keys to GIMP? I'm pretty sure you can make it even closer.

I'm under no misimpression they can't. But I have found ChatGPT to be most confident when it f's up. And to suggest the worst ideas most often. Until you queried I had forgotten to mention that the same day I was trying to wo

Oh, it was DUMB. I was dumb. I only have myself to blame here. But we all do dumb things sometimes, owning your mistakes keeps you humble, and you asked. So here goes. I use a modeling software called Rhino on wine on Linux. In the past, th

Great read. They also talked through the podcast and made specific reference to Ernie and his use of Affinity through Lutris on the recent episode of their podcast. [0] It was a good listen. edited to add: I am however surprised that Ernie

I downloaded my archive and completely ended my GPT subscription last week based on some bad computer maintenance advice. Same thing here - using other models, never touching that product again.

It was! I even remember it was Terrapin LOGO - which amazingly seems to still be around. [0] None of us ever made anything as good as a stop-motion. It didn't even occur to me to do anything that cool. But I was obsessed with geometry

Yeah, it was fun. I had no idea the theory at the time, but Papert et al were definitely on to something.

When I was seven I wrote a LOGO program on our school's Apple IIe to tile the (green monochrome) monitor with hexagons. It's all been downhill since.

Excellent recs. If anyone reading this like Bohren & Der Club of Gore, also check out Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. And if you vibe with Sigurd Ros, check out Godspeed You! Black Emperor too.

Eno has been an inspiration for my entire music listening life. U2's Achtung Baby and Zooropa - both of which Eno was a partner in making - came out in my preteens. It's tough for a kid in the rural midwest to find Brian Eno, but

BTW, the context is that one thing I teach is 3d modeling software, so the students are following my instructions to enter keyboard commands. It's usually Rhino3d where using the spacebar to repeat the last command is common. > ...

The Copilot button that comes on new laptops is the Darkest Pattern I have ever seen. UI exploitation that has jumped the software / hardware gap. A student will be showing me something on their laptop, their thumb accidentally grazes

Fair enough - I haven't poked around in it that much, so I didn't realize that OpenNurbs was limited in that way. But as a for-profit company, I guess it makes sense that they're not going to share their entire geometry engin

Rhino3d [0] is one of the state-of-the-art programs (along with Alias) for the drawing of nurbs and modeling with them. The result is the industry standard "Class A" surfaces. Rhino has amazing "BlendCrv" and "Blend

When I got back on Linux as a daily driver a year ago I knew I wanted to be on a tiling / dynamic window manager. I started with i3 and really like the keybindings. A couple months later I found out about xmonad through general interes

This was my comment as well. It doesn't mean they're -necessarily- going to throw the employee under the bus. But it does get them off the hook.

The point of trainings is only secondarily to stop these things from happening. The goal is for the institution to avoid liability by transfer responsibility for their having happened to others.

Hello sir! I found out about esoteric.codes from FOC a while ago, have read most of what's on there since. Honestly surprised Steve (or early days with Ivan) never had you as a guest / interviewee. So I'll definitely check th

The FOC podcast folks released an episode on a paper (they didn't like) on esolangs just today. [0] Their episode on INTERCAL is an all-time classic. I'm also excited for my copy of Temkin's book to arrive! [0] https:/&

Which is why no ethical licensed professional would allow it to be used under their license. And if by they were unethical enough to do so, other licensed professionals would report them for what they're doing - violating the legally m
