when i posted this in… 2019, it struck me as indicative of how upper middle class people had rationalized their “economic anxiety,” the realization of visible, tangible achievement marred by the post-2008 reality of its precariousness compared to their parents or older siblings.

but looking now, i feels it better captures the nonsense behind crypto and web3—a whole cohort of people roughly my age who missed, by virtue of age or being in school, the spoils of both web 1.0 and 2.0, who had arrived at well paying tech jobs just a little too late for the golden equity offer, felt they had accepted the right job at the wrong startup, or just not exited as early as they had hoped and who desperately wanted, needed, to find a way to manufacture a movement they could helm, that would lead them to the kinds of prosperity they had seen as just out of reach during the years they were still struggling to establish themselves.

In his 1963 book *Misreadings*, Umberto Eco presented a structuralist schematic for generating Jean-Luc Godard films. I've implemented it on @glitchdotcom: https://godard-film-generator.glitch.me/

reacquainting myself with the sound of Link screaming as he falls into sundry voids

excuse me but what the fuck

scanning the imdb page of alan ruck's recent work yesterday i was devastated to discover a genre of intentionally?? bad trek movies. i can't tell if this is like karaoke or if it's earnest and just light on craft, but they're really disheartening.

Gil Strang is retiring, and his final lecture is on Monday:

His 18.06 videos are one of the Internet's great treasures. Strongest possible recommend.

@durumcrustulum is there some stable "just use libsodium for all your password hashing needs" website or is there some better advice these days. why is everything a mix of "just use argon2," "also, avoid scrypt!!," "scrypt is probably fine," "just anything but pbkdf2," and so forth, it's a real mixed bag imo given that auth is treated like a 'solved problem' (maybe because everyone delegates auth to other services like authio etc?) but maybe it's just solved since everyone uses nacl but all the docs haven't caught up?

gritty reboot of family matters where steve is a teen with a haunted past who falls into flights of fancy, occasionally hallucinating himself as stefan to deal with his ptsd, relitigating his drunk driving hit and run that left a myposian immigrant dead in the cold streets of chicago. in a 3-season long attempt to turn himself in, he develops a crush on a neighbor whose father has been investigating the case but has been unable to connect steve’s catch phrase as both an admission of guilt and attempt to reconcile the past. “Did I do that?” audiences will discover that and more as carl winslow gets closer to discovering the circumstances that led to the murder of balki bartokomous—will he become the next target, or will steve apply pressure to stop an investigation by putting laura’s life in the balance? 3 seasons exclusively on Paramount+.

why aren't there any popular stan getz recordings with vinicius or toquinho? it seems like getz might have at least played with toquinho instead of gilberto at least once, but i can't find any recordings easily (it doesn't help that i don't speak portuguese). am i missing something?

i am haunted by the phrase “one source for all things horse”

til that using capset to give node port 80 privileges prevents it from using the node_options env var to, eg. set max-old-space-size. i assume this is a security thing in v8?

You know what? I think Oquonie is complete.

For the past two months @rek and I ported a game of ours for its 10th years anniversary since iOS updates broke it beyond repair.

It has been rewritten to target a virtual machine, which should(hopefully) help us keeping it playable. In the next few days I'll release a document that explains how to write an emulator to run the game.
