@wazound .. changes my perspective on the future of display technology.

A drone is the new pixel

@jackrusher Epictetus quote is a good one! Much of the experimental/ conceptual art I encounter suffers from the need to be explained. It must be first, only secondary should it want to be explained.

Same energy

@jackrusher Was that the same faire that also presented the Phillips Pavilion to the world?

This 1957 photo by Dolf Kruger from the construction site of the Atomium looks like a still from the greatest sci-fi film never made…

@bbatsov Maybe they change the brand name to "The Lainio"

I have serious doubts this brand will ever become popular in Bulgaria... 😃 (Lookup the word лайно and you will understand why)

@jackrusher If you need a place to stay in Santa Cruz, we have a spare room in the house.

Hey kids 👋🏻 I’ll be in San Francisco for a few days starting September 12. Who’s around?

@jackrusher “On se mesure selon la résistance qu’on rencontre.” --> “One measures oneself according to the resistance one finds.” --> words I need to remember every day

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but “Borges thinks you should try a little harder.” catranslation.org/journal-post/t…

Evaluating the relevance of Clojure to programming by popularity is a bit like judging the influence of a band like the Velvet Underground (or in tribute to Rich King Crimson) by how often they are played on Top-40 radio (#clojure is my favorite band).

@quoll Listening now and benefiting from the discussion.

@jackrusher I don't see anything like that happening these days...

Terry Winograd on the famous natural language understanding system SHRDLU that he built at MIT in 1968–1970. A mixture of over-promising, rigged demos, and assumptions about unending improvement curves ultimately led to the first AI winter…

@theacorn1010 Arrogant and wrong? I would say that Bard is management material, through and through.

Just tried Bard. It's great

@borkdude Thanks! Programming will not be central to my work, I can already see places where Babashka will be an ideal tool for ad-hoc solutions. Also people working at the intersection of art and technology need to be (at least) familiar with Lisp languages, IMO

@MikeNardell Congrats! :)

Just got a new job at my institution and needed a head-shot for my profile. Fortunately, was able to pull my #babashka IRL photo :its-wrap-up.blogspot.com/2023/03/mike-n…

@danielwithmusic New leading indicator of impending failures: apply FFT on voice of Jim Cramer when telling you something is a sure bet. When power spectrum approaches sound of squeaking chalk, get out.

@janetacarr What are thoughts about zippers in Clojure? It took me a little while to get the hang of 'em, but now they feel very natural to me. I sometimes think I overuse them, perhaps because of my initial investment.

Traversing a tree in #Clojure can be a bit of a pain Mostly because I find loop-recur to be a bit awkward So I just use reduce and recursion for relatively shallow tree traversal (<500 levels, probably)

@quoll @kv8 ... wait, are you working on an algorithm to embed Morse Code in text, using 'L' as the CW key?

A coworker just asked what is the plural of "y'all" so we're off and running.

@mkvlr Thanks, this was the catalyst I needed to get started with Clerk! I am finding a really enjoyable way of working with AoC

Anybody want to do 🎄Advent of Code with Clerk this year? I've just created a template repo that should make it easy to get started: github.com/nextjournal/ad…

@pappapez Ok, but what if I want a decent society, I have problem with an economic system that objectively rewards selfish behavior

This also means that if you need some other people (government) to force you to act with decency, then you are not a decent person.

@raymcdermott @hemppah @RobStuttaford As Adam Curtis will say “maybe the reason you feel bad is you live in a shitty society”

"More than 95% of organisations's problems derive from systems, not from individual workers. Without conscious effort attention to systems, you will focus on people. People are doing best, but their best efforts cannot compensate for your dysfunctional system." -Peter Scholtes

@buttpraxis Ciao! I seem to be dropping out!
