Short Notice: Appearing on Millenniyule TONIGHT at 7PM New York Time
Sorry for the short notice, I’ve been busy for the holidays, but I’ve been asked to be interviewed on Millenniyule in less than two hours from when I’m posting this. I’m scheduled for 7PM to as late as 9PM New York time.

The livestream will be on this channel (i.e. not my own due to bandwidth issues).

If you miss it, you can get it [at the bottom of this playlist](https://www.youtube.com/ … ⌘ Read more

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.

↳ In-reply-to » Anyone here good with Go and feel like helping me build our a "Direct Messages" feature? I was going to pay someone on Upwork to do this, but I've received very few applicants (just one!) and they aren't that good (stock standard crappy Bootstrap experience and no evidence of any experience with Go).

i am guessing you are using some form of webmention to notify the target of the DM? which loads it into a store for the user to read?

New website
Got a new simplified website. Real old school, no CSS sheet. I’m going to make it more text-based and have more writings.

I’ve also rolled over this RSS feed.

A lot of the site is still unfinished, so notify my of anything I’ve missed so far.
I want to keep old links more or less in place. I haven’t decided if I want to keep using my old blog script (this entry is RSS only).
I feel like I had neglected the blog for a while, and my new site is more conducive to browsing as I add even more. ⌘ Read more

I’ve recently been reading up on zettelkastens again, since it is very closely related to the ethos of a personal wiki system like !weewiki. The thing that interests me is the emergent patterns that come from linking things to things. Which is exactly the sort of solution I’m looking for !sample_curation. #halfbakedideas

the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas

Have we forgotten what a “degree” actually means? When you receive a diploma, it just means some institution is willing to attest that you have achieved some sort of qualification. A 28-year-old with no degree becomes a must read on the economy | Hacker News

You are angry about the Marxist movement of the left?
Hey you thinker, here are some thoughts for you to ponder. STOP trying! We are preprogrammed not to trust anything that doesn’t look, feel, or smell like us. The more someone looks like us, and talks like us, the more trustworthy they appear to us. The second we meet someone we judge them. We judge […] ⌘ Read more

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
