I created a note with a tag. Then I deleted the note, but the tag remains visible under 'Tags' in the left slide panel. fwiw
Unimportant, but "pared" down, not "paired".
And, of course, yesterday's Met Gala had as its theme Ballard's story "The Garden of Time". Timely.
Not _quite_ the same, but may provide some food for thought. A classic: https://users.speakeasy.net/~lion/nb/book.pdf
And automobile!
I know what you mean, but. Human spoken and written Languge very clearly _does_ something. It facilitates information exchange across time and space, catalyzing cultural evolution.
"Arzach" by Mœbius. "The Incal" by same and Jodorowsky.
Brogue is genuinely beautiful. I know pure roguelikes should be white ascii on black, but it's incredible what a little color can do. And the way it handles dynamic events in its environments. Really makes the cave…
Suttree is maybe my favorite of all his novels. If, as others here have suggested, you regard Blood Meridian an epic. Suttree is a picaresque, like reading Pickwick Papers on salvia.
Others have said, but institutionalized settings can be good for getting the "vetting" out of the way. Why do so many romances originate in school? Because each and every participant recognizes everyone else is in the…
Thanks to the author. This resonated with me. It was helpful to see here a couple of the same issues I grappled with (to know "I'm not crazy"): feedback loops, prioritization / importance, communication. On the topic of…
Sure, we can agree social media news and zero cost information dissemination is an Existential Evil, but ... if author had said "shout into a bag", "pound head against wall", or "drink a beer". Maybe we could just let…
Off topic, but as an introvert lurking in an introvert thread, I want to say: this is true professionally, too. My boss's boss's boss put it this way: no one is spinning around in his chair at his desk, twiddling his…
I recently finally got around to reading EM Forster's in-some-ways-eerily-prescient https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teaching/ECS188/PDF_files/... I think you can extract obvious parallels to social media, remote work,…
A small 3-ring binder, plus packets of hole-punched graph paper. Extremely cheap. The beauty of the binder is that it allows for easily rearranging pages, something notebooks do not. Thanks to Lion Kimbro for this…
Trees for the Forest
Thanks, I have read and deeply enjoyed The Incal, as well as some of his films. I merely sought to use the specific example to pose a hypothetical.
If you enjoyed, or at least "got" something out of the Lynch, you might also the film documentary 'Jodorowsky's Dune'. Is a man with a fantastic vision he is unable to instantiate, an artist? Asking for a friend.
Exact same thing happened to me when we traveled to Costa Rica for a wedding and I unwittingly waded into the Pacific with my waterproof-but-cracked Galaxy in the pocket of my swimming trunks. Came out in death throes,…
"clerical error" reminds me, recently rewatched Gilliam's Brazil (1985). From the Wikipedia article's section on Plot: > One day, shortly before Christmas, an insect becomes jammed in a teleprinter, which misprints a…
That sounds really cool, thanks for sharing. It may well be that I'll eventually reach, or gradually approach, a footprint with my site files that rewards putting in place some layer of tooling along these lines. But I…
I was pleasantly surprised to learn writing raw html is not difficult, at all. I am not doing Rocket Science, though. As others say, static site generators introduce a layer of abstraction. I like writing in markdown…
