Yes, I’m regards to what gets produced there’s an awful lot of beautiful art these days. There is also a line of criticism that the institutions of fine art (education, galleries, museums, grants, etc) have, in the last few decades, distort

Check out Alone in the Wilderness by Dick Proenneke. In the late 1960s he filmed himself building a cabin in Alaska and wrote a journal, which his brother later made into a film. Most or all of the film is on YouTube. https://en.

Not the question you're asking, but it's always been interesting to me how fibers and written language are intertwined. We talk about strings of characters. Text and textile come from the same word.

Not only was this a no-knock warrant in a country full of guns, but it was also executed by plainclothes police. Figure out how that’s supposed to work.

Can you imagine being in a class to learn programming or something and your teacher starts talking about how A is a master and B is a slave? Can you imagine that your phenotype matches a minority population that was formerly enslaved? Can y

I've heard Haskell programmers talk about Data and Codata, and came away with the loose sense that Data might be like state and Codata might be like a stream. That one would so confidently assert that "Codata is the categorical du

I've been collecting things in an Arena channel, "Use, Misuse, Rugged Consumerism, etc." that might be helpful in seeing one aspect of what such a mindset might be. https://www.are.na/zach-rose/use-misuse

Digital blackface is not my idea, nor is it something I noticed. (I am white.) Someone else explained it to me. I was probably a bit skeptical that a funny GIF of Oprah could be linked to Jim Crow, but in the historical context of blackface

Have you ever been in a mostly white office and noticed how many reaction GIFs are of black people? The term to Google here is “digital blackface”. If you bring this to more people’s attention my guess is that reaction GIFs will become less

I saw a guy outside a grocery store taking one of those to a U-lock. He said it was his own bike. Wasn’t sure what to do after that.

I wonder if it would be possible to build a six-item menu selector that worked by picking up when you tap a string. This would get in the way of alternating between selecting an amp and trying that amp, but maybe there's some way to de

American healthcare should absolutely be criticized, I just meant that it’s too early to say, as Joe Biden did two months ago, that a socialized healthcare wouldn’t have helped COVID because Italy has socialized healthcare. We haven’t seen

I think this is a fair question, and I find some of the explanations here wanting. You could implement the same UI the the same external specifications with a number of different data models. In theory, your users would never be able to tel

I believe the right thing to do is to parse the response “into” an error and pass it to the error-handling branch that your compiler required when the handler was written. Or at least, that’s how it works in the statically typed language El

I’m inclined to agree, but it seems fair to admit that there’s a survivorship bias going on here. My hypothesis is that projects that go on to require years of enhancement and maintenance have survived an initial window of people losing int
