This problem is so old and so common that people like Erasmus have commented on it. "Waste books" written by intellectuals throughout the ages still exist, one of the finest is Lichtenberg's. I keep a little notebook and even

These are also good for those "Swedish logs" where you drill a hole in the top and the side, and then cut grooves with a hand saw in the top and make a fire right on top.

> Using some formula or fixed law to compute what's good is a dead end. Who said anything about a formula? It all seems conceptual and continually evolving to me. Morality evolves just like a species, and not by any formula other th

It seems worth thinking about it in the context of the evolution. To kill other members of our species limits the survival of our species, so we can encode it as “bad” in our literature and learning. If you think of evil as “species limitin

Another live-coding environment that is quite nice (Haskell-based) is TidalCycles: https://tidalcycles.org I wrote a whole album of material about 10 years ago with it, just remastered/re-released it. It's a fun way to

Yes! and Shadowrun! I remember just binging William Gibson after that, until Johnny Mnemonic, Hackers (the movie), and Strange Days, came out. What a great decade.

I still have my faded paperback copy of this book, from 1986. I pulled it down off the shelf and got a jolt of nostalgia, thinking about reading it when I was kid and just being blown away by such a weird vision of the future. The cover was

In the ultra running community, it's common to do a 1 mile "test" when you're feeling awful. You start your run, and if it still feels awful after 1 mile you walk on back home and try again tomorrow. Do this until you ca

rpastuszak's work is a consistent source of inspiration and fun. It's what I wanted the web to become.

This sentiment seems sort of sad. The medium is the message. If the medium is small, the message will be small. It may be succinct and you may think you "get it", but without evidence, examples, and context, they won't stick.

Like a penetration test or a security test, you don't know where you're out of compliance until you perform an audit; you don't normally shut down your site in the meantime. The correct way to comply with this is to suggest t

There are easier ways to do this from the beginning of your loan, like making sure you put 20% down and paying higher closing costs. If you tell your lenders that you refuse to pay PMI my experience has been that one of them will make it wo

I read George Dyson’s “Analogia” with a bit of skepticism a few years ago, now all of the sudden it feels relevant (if you can make it past all of the chapters on kayak-building).

I’ve been doing ultra marathons now for over a decade and the key is slow. Walk a lot at first if you have to. Some key resources getting started are Jeff Galloway and his run walk method. Once you build up to mostly running just mix in a f
