Explorable Explanations https://explorabl.es/

Almost all the content I post to social media is posted by a small shell script that simultaneously posts to several services or through IFTTT duplicating those posts to services for which I lack an API key. When facebook broke automated posting, it meant my account went dark. I didn’t notice.

Responses to my essay ‘Tech’s Masturbatory Historiography’ make me think that most people reading it don’t know what ‘historiography’ means. (It’s exactly what it sounds like…)

This is math-heavy but the idea that ‘keys are meta-taxonomic dimensions’ reminds me of ZigZag & other elements make me think of parallel prolog-likes like mycroft – should re-read carefully later: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009002_qod.pdf

Apparently, when I pitched the idea of replacing backtracking with forking (with lazy side effecting of course) a ~year ago, I was reinventing STEPS work from 2008: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/rn2008003_john.pdf

In the sunken and forgotten city, Senpai lies not dead but dreaming, as blissfully unaware of mankind’s rise above as that of other prior races. We have just begun to meddle in forces that may cause Senpai to notice us for the first time, and rise.

Pray that Senpai will never notice you, because that way lies only disappointment

I would watch the living fuck out of ‘Cheerleader Samurai vs Megaton Shark’ tbh
