What if We Replace Guns and Bullets with Bows and Arrows?
The bicycle and the bow are both highly efficient, human-powered technologies that could substitute for two very harmful alternatives: the car and the firearm. Why do we promote one but not the other? ⌘ Read more

In reply to: chreke’s blog - Little Languages Are The Future Of Programming
The idea is that as you start to find patterns in your application, you can encode them in a little language—this language would then allow you to express these patterns in a more compact manner than would be possible by other means of abstraction. Not only could this buck the trend of ever-growing applications, it would … ⌘ Read more

I’m quite curious about this “Ghosts from the Library”. Medawar edits the collection “Bodies from the Library” (which I recommend) and this idea of going through old newspapers to recover serialised stories or finding never published before ones is quite appealing.
