I actually have less than zero excuse. I was a 13 year old nerd when it came out - PRIME market. But I think even then I was allergic to hype. Same reason I've never seen a vast number of well loved movies. Like Titanic. ... just a con

Having never seen Jurassic Park (yeah, right?) I'm guessing the preposterousness to an unaware onlooker is played for effect. This is a more recent phenomenon. This is literally just repeating a punchline so that it tells the audience

I don't know if calling it a "New Literalism" is helpful. I just don't know that a penchant for literalism ever went away. Now, what IS relatively new is the "ruined punchline" phenomena that they identify (wit

Oh man ten years ago I would have had just a few firms to tell you about, but at this point you can probably just look at the top x architecture, engineering, and construction firms in your chosen geography and they'll have someone bui

Take this with a grain of salt as I'm in academia now, outside everyday software implementation in AEC, but I think that's changed / changing. My background is in the profession, and I'm a self-taught computational desig

Great read - it's nice to see something I take for granted with fresh eyes (I think I've read all the Gibson). The fact that it's someone steeped in the genre humble enough to go back to a foundational text is a great device

To crib from Wes Anderson, "what this paper presupposes is Project Plowshare didn't go -far enough-." More seriously I'll refrain from judgment until I've read it all. But it's interesting thus far.

It's actually the first in what became a series! Watermark [0] and The Anthropocene[1] are both phenomenal. In fact, in terms of cinematography, I think Watermark is the best. Manufactured Landscapes was absolutely earth-shattering in

Look at companies in the AEC sector. Pay is lower than straight tech, but a lot of exciting real world and applied problems to dig in to. All the fun stuff these days is computation and advanced fabrication based. Even something closer in a

For some reason FringeWare Review [0] has kept coming back up for me in the past few weeks. In sharing it here I have started trying to express why you should care about it so many different ways - what it was about, why it was important, w

Thanks! One note is that if you're listening to a country's flagship broadcaster - like BBC - they will use a standardized form of the language in their news, etc. I find those stations are best for learning the official tongue in

I've used Radio Garden for years to help with language learning. In English language communication I can't stand the ads one bit. But in another language even those are an opportunity for practice.

Klong was among the languages I looked at when I was trying to pick a language for a project (ongoing but back-burnered at the moment). Ultimately I went for Dyalog APL, but looking at the documentation - and the great website - for Klong I

Probably my single favorite podcast episode ever is the Future of Coding's episode on INTERCAL [0]. At least I think they tried to make it about INTERCAL. No matter what - a consideration befitting the subject. [0] https://fu

I've never gone through the process, but I imagine it would involve establishing the historical importance of the person who owned them, establishing their significance as instruments of the thing for which the person is known, and est

He owned three adjacent homes in the Hollywood Hills. He ran his film production company and musical endeavors out of them. So these aren't the random collectibles of a hoarder, the vast majority of this stuff would have been used for

I can only imagine that he pledged his actual papers to a museum or University film school a long time ago. It's not uncommon to do that well before you pass away. And you / your estate gets a very substantial tax break for it. So

They actually point the retail value out in that listing. Lol. The idea of shopping David Lynch's estate sale like you were looking for deals is one I think he'd chuckle at. Edited to add - I think $1,200 for two Mr. Coffees is a

There's an often missed distinction between the complex and the complicated. Complexity can emerge from the interaction of two (or more) simple things. Think of the double slit experiment[0] or Penrose's observations of quasitiles

This is rad. The game is especially cool. Congrats, OP! This is the same math as this old program called Jenn3d[0] which I played around with almost twenty years ago. (Amazingly the site is still online!) The crazies who built it also built

Grasshopper doesn't have to be used strictly "procedurally" as you can reference in geometry from Rhino. However, some of us try to work as procedurally as possible - creating everything strictly within Grasshopper if at all

Hey, I'm not used to feeling "seen" on HN! Architect, architecture professor, and computational designer here. This is a great first intro to Grasshopper. The links he provides near the top are next steps for those interested
