I’m going to be periodically posting research resources for the new book here, as I find them: http://www.lord-enki.net/resources-survey-of-alternatives.html
Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations.
Because of the use of ‘rune’ to refer to unicode codepoints in go, a fulthark transliteration program might have somewhat confusing source…

Is there already a term for going into a piece of media with the expectation that it won’t be a waste of time / there’s something to be gained by paying attention & thinking? (Like ‘good-faith viewership’?)
I love it. I have a program that needs to processing about half a million records, which will take 3 days. The database that all those records are suppose to go to is acting up after I’ve just done 140K records.
Pet peeve: on my work computer, 80% of my lobste.rs comments double-post because of some kind of missing deduplication logic. Then, I have to periodically go through all my threads to delete the duplicates. Sometimes one copy of the post will have 2 upvotes & the other 3.

If imports from China suddenly dropped substantially (say, due to tariffs), would enough manufacturing business go back to S. Korea & Japan to affect Japan’s almost-30-year economic stagnation?

My feed will be deader than usual for a while so I’m going to be automatically posting a medium story I clapped for every 4 hours. Set your filters accordingly.
This Fred Turner book really makes me wish we had good hypertext integrated into publishing. Hard to go more than a sentence or two in From Counterculture to Cyberculture without wanting to link it to Rise of the Machines, or Encountering America, or What the Dormouse Said, or Fire in the Valley
Bad idea of the day: ‘twitch writes a novel’: the previous ~15 words are shown & the top ~20 next words based on a markov model of some corpus are voted on over a 2 minute period (going to the first item, if no votes are cast) until 50k words are written.
I’m always amazed at how many people I work with go out to eat each day. I don’t know how they afford to that.
This is a very hot take and also not a new one but here we go: the goal of a properly functioning software engineer is to obviate themselves, not by solving the customer’s specific problems but by blurring the line between using a computer and programming one to the point where users can solve their own problems.
Anyone using sendxmpp wants to try go-sendxmpp. It should already cover the most important use cases and I would be interested if it was compatible in your use case. https://salsa.debian.org/mdosch-guest/go-sendxmpp #xmpp #golang

In case anybody cares, I’ve fixed up my mirror of all my medium posts. (Useful if you are a cheapskate!) As always, I prefer people with a medium account to actually go there & clap so I get a dime. http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/
So, I’m going on a 6 hour road trip on Friday the 13th, starting after work on a day when I woke up at 5am. Wish me luck.

Reading about Web Prolog & it reminds me a lot of the work I did on Mycroft. I wonder: how will routing work here? If fully-qualified predicates have an explicit hostname component, Web Prolog can go fuk.
Finance has its own term for ‘skin in the game’: ‘insider trading’. It’s also a legal term, because people very occasionally go to jail for being too obvious when they do it.
Go is a much stranger language than I initially understood. Anyhow, this is my work thus far on an implementation of the Io language in it: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/kamui/senketsu.go
PSA: skepticism != disbelief; criticism != insult. If a ‘skeptic’ ‘criticizes’ something, that means actual intellectual effort is going into examination.
Hot take: anybody who understands markets isn’t going to be a free-market purist. A market is a piece of social machinery with particular environmental requirements under which it works, & those requirements are rare.
