Very few people tend to look at the mind as a system, and also seem to ignore that depression, anxiety, panic disorders, etc. happen for a reason. The reason why modern humanity have increased risk of these symptoms is because they know, given their perhaps wrongly learned models of the world or otherwise, that even when they achieve their so-called life goals, that they wouldn’t achieve philosophical nor psychological satisfaction that they seek. Their mind has predicted the conclusion of their efforts, and the conclusion lies far below what they seek. Thus the mind desperately attempts to re-understand, re-configure, and re-model the world to achieve its goals.

Are employees paid a proportional amount to the value they bring to their organization? I would say no. I do not believe every talented European is 40% as capable as the average developer in the US. I do not believe that the same software engineer that made $10k in India, suddenly brings 10x as much value due to a 1 year masters, once they move to the US.

The master plan is to export the !worgle bits of !monolith to a !weewiki, then begin adding user-level documentation that is able to dynamically reference bits of source code as another wiki page.
while eventually I hope to get all of literate org parts of !monolith posted online as a self contained !weewiki, I’ve decided to post little pieces as self-contained documents. here is a copy of !trigvm, the toy VM used to power a rhythmic computer-sequencer controlled entirely from the !monome_grid
this rhythm machine I’m working on for !monolith has finally given me an opportunity to crack open and use Hacker’s Delight. This morning I needed to find a way to count the number of active bits, and there’s a whole chapter dedicated to it :)

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas

Since a couple of months on peer-to-peer Web and I’m really convinced that as long as isps do not start messing with firewalls, this could really be the next step in a real Internet of humans.
built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.
I’m so close to being able to get my literate programs written in !worgle converted into a self-contained !weewiki. #literateprogramming #worgle #weewiki
I’ve been actually thinking about introducing a ‘#+RELAX’ tag in !worgle that would explicity turn off strict mode, allowing literate programs to be written more casually.
weewiki uses a custom org markup parser written in ANSI C to render the HTML. No emacs needed! my hope is to introduce a user-defined callback that can process these to allow for custom meta-commands.
a new fix to !weewiki will ignore all org-mode command strings by default. Now things like PROPERTY tags won’t show up in the output.
@mdosch@mdosch.de Oh wow. I thought Apple was the only org out there shipping zsh by default. What was their rationale for not defaulting to bash?
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].
updating my wiki index, so some pages are not going to be featured there anymore: !MIDI_sucks !sample_curation !howyousay !sixtycolumnrule
Inline Janet means I should be able to make calls to functions defined in the config file. For example, the =ref= function is how I usually make wiki reference links. This @!(ref “wiki_index” “link right here”)!@ should take you to my automatically generated weewiki index of all the wiki pages.
Technically not org, but weewiki org. So this means that I might be able to run inline Janet code? @!(prin “Hello from Janet.”)!@
here is the script I use to convert my twtxt feed into a SQLite database: !twtxt_sqlite
I’m using a wrapper around txtnish called !say to make it easer to tweet stuff.

a unique thing I do with my twtxt feed is convert it to a SQLite database. This, combined with the Janet + SQLite scripting abilities available in SQLite, could provide interesting metrics and insights over time.
there are also things like using #hashtags, which could be a useful tool to coordinate with weewiki somehow.
in particular, twtxt provides timestamps. weewiki doesn’t really track the passage of time. it only wants to be a key/value database with org markup.
all I have to do is hit “say”, write a few bits of things, and then hit ENTER. much easier than using txtnish directly.

@mdosch@mdosch.de Right. I can only last about 15–25 minutes in a 80°C sauna. An ambient temperature of 90°F (32°C) is also unpleasant, but not nearly as bad. I’ll use my iPad indoors when it’s 90°F during the peak of the heat of the day, but I wouldn’t want to take it into a 90°C sauna.

When I read this I see a a niche, super premium hardware company that managed to acquire tens of thousands of customers by word of mouth. Not only that, their customers are all in-effect self employed or small businesses with huge average revenue per employee. They manage global supply chains, intense competition, all while taking on and managing huge legal/compliance risk. How is is that supposedly “dumb,” criminals can do this, and yet many of us are stretching our intellectual capacities to learn new technologies and maths, developing our nth stupid app, trying to achieve a fraction of the customer traction and revenue that street thugs manage to do every day. Are these people much smarter than average, or does it mean that if you sell something people actually want, literally nothing else matters about your intelligence, education, character, background, or anything at all. When I read these drug stories, it just reinforces for me that growth solves everything. You can succeed with a crew of violent, drug addicted idiots whose only reliable characteristic is short term thinking, and who spend half their time in prison if you have product market fit. What I’m beginning to think is that the “smarter,” people are in a company, the less anyone will want their product. It’s like the success of a venture is inversely proportional to the number of ostensible geniuses it employs. reply How Police Secretly Took over a Global Phone Network for Organized Crime | Hacker News
