as a working bike messenger, there's so much i could say about this, but i'll keep it to one thing. PROCEED AS THOUGH YOU ARE INVISIBLE TO CARS, AND YOU'LL BE FINE. postscript: IF YOU MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE CAR DRIVER, THE

In what ways do people see twitter as a cesspool? Im just genuinely curious because I get a lot of value out of twitter. It's a great way for me to be exposed to new work from artists, finding circles of people with overlapping niche

But that's not what has happened. The internet hasn't progressed as much as it has calcified into a couple of monolithic walled gardens. Remember when it was a wild west of creativity and everyone had their own website with pain

programming is already such an opaque concept before you learn it, kids entering the class won't even really know what programming is . if you start with a single-minded focus on syntax, as most do, the kid's mental model of prog

to be completely honest, having the time and energy to stay well-informed on current events from a variety of sources is a privilege. working-class and poor people have neither the time nor mental energy to peruse a variety of sources. th

Then again, he's not some comfortable first-world programmer who makes $100K a year and enjoys talking about infosec and opsec as a fun diversion, he's a guy living in a repressive third-world dictatorship who has put his entire l

if you're a classical musician you're going to either play in an orchestra, which pays OK, depending on the notoriety of the orchestra you get into...or you're going to teach, which pays better for the most part. keep in mind

If anything node is a hugely magnified version of jQuery in that respect. Instead of using 200 different jquery functions to do stuff, you're using 200 different npm libraries to do stuff.

Hellll no. The addition of grappling / submission as a way to end a fight actually makes mma much safer on the whole than boxing. Striking takes less precedence in mma and becomes more situational. Many fights are won with armbars o

I'm going to make an argument that will probably be very unpopular, but here we go. The global economic system is the primary incentive system for human behavior. Under global free-market capitalism, firms are incentivized to increase

You know, sometimes i get slightly eye-rolly at the tone of Julia's articles, but fuck, this sort of attitude in programming is so much better than the alternative (i.e. lkml). Bringing more positivity and jolliness into programming i

That's the thing, the government and private companies already have access to your location data so it should be a no-brainer to extend that access to emergency response - a use of location data that would actually benefit the owner

In "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" the upside down drawing exercise is suggested and i think the reasoning is that people draw facial features as "symbols", resorting to their own idea of what a nose looks like

Yeah, me too. The closest i got to feeling how cool these machines were was lurking on wayofthepixel.net, where the admin Helm elevated c64 pixel art into an almost classical art form, waxed philosophical about the expressive quality of th
