I take a moment of each day to reflect on all the good things that the system of values and institutions of the modern world have given me, as well as the bright and beautiful future it has certainly enabled. There may be few hiccups here

Its not really "dangerous" only because that wording implies another state of possible affairs that could be safer. unfortunately, ceteris paribus, the tendency of a rate of profit to ultimately slow is one of the costs of a free

These are probably good/important points in a totally different context, but in this discussion, talking about how the virus has been transmitted, and the effect of infected individuals to quarantine or not, it feels a little strange.

This is a pretty extreme failure of me to remember Poe's law, im very sorry. I just thought the reasons people find it hard to believe are extremely obvious, considering the almost existential death and destruction these bombs caused.

you are right, I am convinced, this was obviously the best action the Americans could have done. Why is it so hard for people to get that?

How do you get interviews in a day or two with no great experience??? These days, I just feel lucky to get an email rejection back at all

Well I don't know about OP but, no, its not clear to me! Or at least, I don't know about the Orwell parallel precisely here, but this way of thinking/speaking is very weird to me, however much its "business as usual.&qu

Listen the fact you can get good and compatible experience on Tone.js at any level is hugely impressive! I have given up on any Web Audio that is not a single AudioWorklet with some kind of self contained wasm ugen

Hearing anecdotes like this are so nice because it means that maybe one day I can have one of those dev jobs where I can be bad at CSS.

there is a lot more friction in understanding sclang, but the server here is the same (scsynth/supernova), and to me, Sclang is really one of the most beautiful things to work with. Wish I could get paid to work with it

Why? Is there something different in your mind that startups like these tend to do? It seems to me that in the freemarket you can either create a "need", broadly construed, or facilitate access to a need that already exists. What

"literacy" itself is not some transhistorical, transcultural "achievement" that is now being lost. we do not live in a civ game, and there is no rubric to compare ourselves against.

I guess I am not really versed in this world, but I can't help but think that these people should read more Marx! At least for some precedent in this kind of thinking. Like whatever you think about capitalism/communism and all th

This is really nice and particularly resonant with me. I've spent maybe a good five years obsessed with coding and development in all the ways, but I never went to school for it (I have an MA in philosophy), and have never had a real t

just a nit-pick but I would push back on the notion that the only thing that came to challenge modernity was neo-Idealism, neo-Rationality. I have never seen any one really define post-modernism that way, and in fact such things are just a
