Reflecting once again on how much more pleasant and illuminating online discourse would be if people simply put aside their self-regard and took the time – before commenting on anything – to sit down and learn to see everything exactly as I do.

[Looking at a society where decision-making power is strongly inversely correlated with exposure to the consequences of one’s decisions:] Now hang on, why are there so many bad decisions?

A little unexpected good news: I spent 90 seconds looking into the thing in the news and it turns out it’s actually really good evidence of the veracity of an opinion I already had.

I'm nearing the end of a two-month residency at MakerLabs, a community fabrication space here in East Vancouver. I'll write and share more about it online soon, but if you're in the Lower Mainland, please come out this Wednesday, February 25th from 7-8:30pm to see what I've been up to, along with the rest of the cohort!

NEW Vantor Open Data for Cyclone Gezani impacts in Madagascar
Allow me to recommend the Soviet production of Sherlock Holmes on YouTube. As an index of its vibe, this is how it depicts a man who has just arrived from Canada.
I am still a novice at Rust but it’s hard to emphasize enough how non-annoying it is in general.
I’m not a big PL nerd, but rarely do I think “oh, the people who put this together actually thought carefully about it” – Scheme, Postscript, HyperCard, Haskell maybe (I don’t know it well enough), and precious few others.
Rust feels like a low-level language designed by people who understand and sincerely appreciate current-millennium high-level languages instead of feeling insecure about them.
