Casting off again tomorrow to explore the oceanside of the island. It has been an excellent place to stretch our legs and resupply. Until next time Sitka!

The Diablo 1 OST tribute is getting amazing. I can't wait to share it with you all. We should have enough songs for a tape run with only tribute songs. The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread. — Anatole France  @jalcine I enjoyed your lasted article a lot, I hope you find a way to reconcile your interests, even if it's outside of tech. ✊ Excellent piece by Jacky Alciné reflecting on technology and labor. @neauoire this was really good. without a critical eye everything done in tech is going to be in service of yt supremacism and basically building a better fascist panopticon. not to mention the work itself gnawing at you even if it's ostensibly "innocent". to make tech do something that is genuinely meaningful let alone progressive i think is way harder than people give it credit for and requires a very critical lens.

 I was taught object oriented programming in the classical Kingdom of nouns Java sense. you still see that style everywhere, typescript trumpets it loudly. it's irredeemably bad because it encourages, fetishizes complexity and makes simplicity impossible. it makes systems optimized for busy work and fussiness, also likely for software labor interchangeability inappropriate setting, but the software produced is deficient inescapably. Across the water from Sitka, there's a mountain that looks like a volcano, it's the first one we see with that look since we've entered Alaskan waters.

Sitka is the largest city by total area in the U.S. TIL.    Two nights ago, @rek read aloud a chapter from Baryl Markham's West With The Night, the chapter was about the unfortunate undoing of the parrot named Bombafu. The writing is so good, I nearly pissed myself, I couldn't stop laughing, and I've made a copy of that small excerpt here, the whole book is fantastic, but this chapter was just the best thing I heard this week. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/docs/bombafu.txt 🦜 "Nevermore!" Someone requested a step-by-step evaluation button in the #uxn playground so they can use it to see the stack transformations one at a time. :uxn: We have sailed as far north as we are willing to go this year. As the summer weather settles, heading further would mean crossing longer distances with decreasing chances of favorable winds, less sailing and more motoring, which does not appeal to us one bit. We'll head to Sitka before making our way back down to warmer waters and enjoy what remains of the summer free of foul-weather jackets. @calutron wow. Once I have better connectivity I'll go find the rest of their works. Thanks for the discovery. We're on our way toward Sitka, the wind came back, but it's freezing cold out here on the water. Rek made mugs of miso soup. 🍵 @neauoire I have a sister who lives in Sitka, and I lived there for a few summers. It's a beautiful town! Thanks for sharing. I miss that part of the world :) |
The person leaving the comment touched a really interesting point, which throughout the evenings when we discussed the various ways to explore the rooms, we have never found a way to calculate time between iterations, it's great to see someone else trying to tackle this difficult question.
