This might be specific to the MacBook Air but it seems trivial on the Mac to capture without an LED. E.g. open up Skype and go to settings and you’ll see live footage of your camera without the LED coming on. Am I overlooking something?

Great article! Tangential, but the author’s description of Kuhn’s paradigms as describing things incommensurably differently (“claims that were true in the old way of talking might be false in the new way, and vice versa”) reminds me of the

One difference of course is that while we can always return to a physical position in space, even if the contents of that space have changed, it seems very conceptually challenging to imagine returning to a position in time even if the cont

Perhaps a tangent, but the article opens with a claim that the Indonesian rock art is conclusively the oldest art of Homo sapiens, but strangely overlooks the art of Indigenous Australians which is at least as old, and perhaps a further 10,

Depends on your skills of course, but most dev jobs on seek / I run into and hire for are paying quite a bit more than that, particularly contract. When the AUD was stronger than USD this was an even more compelling argument. However I

The liveability of places like Adelaide (and even Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth) is such an undersold secret. Personally I'm so torn between wanting to tell everyone how good we have it and wanting to keep it to ourselves. Mel

Economic changes can probably be tracked back to Stagflation[1] and the 1973 Oil Crisis[2], and the associated rise of Neoliberalism as evidenced, early on, through the Nixon Crisis[3] and formation of the Trilateral Commission[4]. Of cours
