Yes, Northern R'Lyeh closed many of their routes recently, which caused unknowable horror to descend over Innsmouth (among others on local stopping lines).

Just enough slightly obscure things I both like and recognise to make me confident I'll find great new stuff. Cheers. Restraining myself to join in with just a single recommendation - Jan Jelinek's 'Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records&

I don't know, and I'm not sure it's a good idea. I think it's a feature, not a bug, though it has very clear downsides, which you can take steps to ameliorate. Talking of steps: Walking and talking are pretty ancient way

Thank you. The video is exemplary. Fascinating concept, very well constructed and thought-through. Please, make more! I would be very keen to read an essay on the same subject too. I'd also like to write one, although I suspect my atte

I wonder if it took 30+ years because your young adult brain was geared toward perceiving 'carrots and sticks'.

The trick is to reduce the number of falsifiable beliefs you hold. It grants you an immense amount of conviction, and can be very effective in the short term, although the price is a crippled perception... A commendable way to spend the rem

I love the idea of anki but immediately tire of the execution. There are naturalistic ways to achieve the effects of spaced repetition, fortunately, like reading the works of a particular writer or playing games of a certain genre in the ta

I skim because nearly everything is bloated with useless crud and the latest memetic faddery; because tech writers are always on the defensive vs pedants; because people with multiple arts degrees actually seem to get worse at writing, not

I'm convinced of 'learn old > learn new' in general, but I think there are some interesting edges: the older something is, the larger the gap (maybe chasm) will be between 'basic competence' and 'venerable e

You may have been confused, yet you've elaborated GPs point for us very nicely. Two rather different impressions of people on the list in question.

Wouldn't you adapt your speaking tone and accent to the context? I did the one time I went on TV.

I think explainshell [1] is a halfway measure for what you're looking for. My current approach is simply to have a notes folder with the title of a man page as the filename, I put a 'tl;dr', common commands section, and write

I find this passage resonates most when drawn against my living relationship with the rest of the text. As for the thread, a very straightforward quote: ~ So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only wh

Yeah, for sure, there are degrees of success (as you suggest, "you might think it would be successful but it really isn't", or, "you spent loads of resources on something that felt good but achieved nothing when you coul

No. Individuals openly resisting norms alters the discourse and the boundaries of acceptable thought. Sufficiently aggregated, it is precisely what brings about change.

Do you mean very slow by your general, working-world standards, or the standards you would expect from them given other signals (verbal fluency/evidence of understanding, education level)? If the latter, it could well be perfectionism

Apologies, I misunderstood your exact meaning. But I think you misunderstood my point that 'society loses' is a non-sequitur in any case.

by rwnspace 8y ago
That's an incredibly thin argument (society loses because you don't let someone pay rent to live in your home). You have to deny the existence of second-order intangibles which seed first-order tangible economic value such as comm

Generally speaking, I consider them a noobtrap for two reasons. First off, many of the resources are written and submitted by people who have no place teaching others - and are writing almost purely to self-promote and have something to sho
