"For unlike someone devoted to the life of contemplation, a total worker takes herself to be primordially an agent standing before the world, which is construed as an endless set of tasks extending into the indeterminate future."

A bunch of you (mostly those with white collar jobs) should read this and consider how close you are to the sort of ideology this article discusses. I think it'll feel uncomfortable, but may help motivate you toward new opinions.

As a boy, I often wondered if god knew that the people praying in movies or on TV weren't really praying, and were just actors.

I'm extremely pleased to launch Run Your Own Social: How to run a small social network site for you friends.

This is a guide book to running a small, tight-knit federated social network server. It comes from my year of experience running Friend Camp. It's focused largely on SOCIAL solutions, though it does touch on the technical.

I've tried to keep it technology-neutral, and it should be a pretty easy read for anyone who's been on the fediverse for a while.

turned out to be about 250 lines of code, though there's still a few bugs

the difference in the dev flow is like night and day; I got much further than I had in the past in much less time.

I still prefer the ESP32 when it's an option but in cases where I'm tied to Arduino hardware this is a far better way to go than using C

in 2015 I came across Microscheme, a subset of Scheme which runs on Arduino devices: https://ryansuchocki.github.io/microscheme/

I gave a shot at writing a keyboard firmware for it, but debugging on the device was just too tedious since the only output available was the blink patterns of a single LED.

but last week I took another look at it and realized I could run all the code on my laptop if I wrote a test harness in Racket; that way I'd get prints and stack traces working.

Star Trek (2009) established canonically that the Beastie Boys exist in the Trek universe. This leads us to the inevitable conclusion that the presence of the line "like a pinch in the neck from Mr. Spock" from their 1998 song "Intergalactic" was in fact influenced by the temporal travel back to the year 1986 as depicted in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
