Any list of dangerous infohazards that doesn’t include cartesian dualism & platonic forms is disinformation.

The Shuffle interface is so strange. Everything is HUGE and there’s not much of it. It’s web 2.0 af. Was this a VN trend I missed?
Re: generalism vs specialism & polymathy – BREADTH IS DEPTH because knowledge is a web, not a tree. It only looks like a tree if you SPECIALIZE.

I’m starting to think I should post an explanation of my crossposting/linking toolchain. It’s so straightforward that I didn’t think it required explanation, but other people are doing equivalents with webapps?
Is there a prolog implementation that JIT-compiles with LLVM? In particular, something that emits a subset of LLVM bytecode that corresponds to the WAM or BAM?
Bad idea of the day: Scroll back through GUI input events & application states like you scroll back through shell history; inject conditionals and loops; use speculative execution of applications to show projected state from these changes.

Hot take: it’s a good thing that genre films & genre literature aren’t taken seriously by the mainstream, because things that are taken seriously aren’t allowed to be interesting/experimental/meaningful. (See: Star Wars, & associated drama)

Bad idea of the day: A language with APL-style syntax and PROLOG-style semantics
Bad idea of the day: A small dedicated machine (like a chumby, maybe based on the raspberry pi) that ships with ipfs & ssb/patchwork, casts from ipfs or peertube to TVs.

Hot take: if you can’t write a feature-complete proof of concept implementation of it in 100 lines, then there will never be a stable implementation, but if you can, then even 10k line implementations can be made stable.
