I am honestly confused by what you are saying here. It sounds like you're saying more people like the good stuff so it's gone quicker? But earlier you said Bourbon was an "everyman" item being ruined, which presumably me

There is a place where a tool like Citizen can be useful - however a company with VC funding needs to generate returns quickly, which incentivizes growing engagement, which "panic fetishism" is a pretty attractive way of achieving

Baroque was a particularly strong time for improvisation - Bach was more well known as an improvisor in his life time than a composer (or for his educational pieces which is what he was known for right after his death). At music school I kn

"Passing the Blame" in particular is a personal pet peeve. I hate when apps phrase errors like I did something wrong by clicking the totally normal link. Closely related is the general trend of "lol wut" tone in error me

Interesting - I do this but I learned the skill from sight reading music scores - you have to be playing several bars behind what you’re reading so the skill is in going into autopilot with your fingers as you read. No small coincidence the

Yes, to be more clear about my point: there is a lot of learning about MIX to set the groundwork for future stuff, which can feel arbitrary and disconnected from practice. It can be off putting to a new reader. It took longer to read than j

Oh I forgot to mention - I’m literally made of liquid so I read books by pouring over them, sorry for the confusion!

Part 1 is the most "useless" - it's basically required reading to be able to read the rest of the book. There are a few sections in data structures that I read to actually apply (I can't remember the exact parts, but I r

Same - it's just a joy dropping into some random section and reading through, but my copies are a little abused by that practice. I'd love to have a second set for aesthetics and display.

I truly hate this way of sunsetting projects, esp platforms that others materially depend on. Even if you don’t want to say you’re cancelling it, an attitude of reduced pressure so they’re not crunching to finish the port. A friend was abou

Attempting to share with a friend, this is amazing work. Those in Brazil or other unstable countries should use this as a model and have something prepared before the worst happens.

The nature of communication on the internet makes for some very weird signifiers - I remember getting into fountain pens and finding out that a pretty undesirable group was into them as well and it was on the cusp of being a signifier for p

Empathy obviously as many have said - you have to see the other side to know that every choice is a tradeoff. There's a pretty straightforward exercise you can try - spend a day pretending to be a true believer in something you just fu

I just have to say it - obviously the problem isn't with the models, it's the trisolaran sophons disrupting the observations

Overfitted models do serve a purpose here though - particle physics has reached a point where you can't build models and theories on direct observation so instead the community is throwing a huge number of falsifiable overfitted models

As a former CCPer (not on the backend, though I did touch it from time to time and learned a lot from its architecture) this is pretty interesting - is it common for people to make emulated servers for games? I can see why people would want

I am wrong about that then, but I was talking more about influence on American films - I haven't seen any Sciuscia so I don't know if that went on to influence american films in the same way that godard did later.

Yeah, it's hard to talk about French New Wave as a cohesive set, since it was so reactionary - I still see influences from earlier italian neorealism in Godard, in the street view slice of life shots and focus on regular people through

True, but I believe italian neorealism didn't have international reach until fellini - outside of influencing french new wave which went on to popularize (within the art community at least) those ideas. French New Wave also paired it w

My advice: watch it like a movie that just came out, not as a “really important and heady film”. If not, you might miss the whole concept is funny - it’s about a French guy who looks like bogart who watches American films and wishes he was
