Save the Cat (Blake Snyder) | Emily Short’s Interactive Storytelling https://emshort.blog/2018/12/04/save-the-cat-blake-snyder/

Fairly reliable indicator of a bad/naive post or project: the title or short description contains the name of the implementation language, but that language is conventional, commonly-used, or ‘general-purpose’.

Short work week and about half the office is out.

‘Free your mind and your ass will follow’ is absurdly optimistic. Freedom of mind is necessary but not sufficient for freedom of ass. In the short term, wokeness makes your life harder because you become aware of how bad things are.

Hot take: any command that a user might want to use regularly should be short, memorable, and built-in; any command that a user might really NEED to use should be documented & included in the examples in built-in documentation.

While it’s been a short week here, I’m ready for the weekend already.

Bursting stovepipes creates an intellectual explosion, but it’s short-lived. You don’t get scenius without tribes, but you also don’t get it without potlatches. The periodic nature of the potlatch is necessary, & so is the discarding of material work.

The Signal has run my short story “She Awaited the Turkeys” as part of the episode called “Intermission 02”. (Doesn’t seem to be posted on the website yet.)

Bad idea of the day: Instead of an index fund, choose stocks completely at random, and buy or sell/short them completely at random, one share at a time, once every ten minutes or so.

Short Story - Superiority - by Arthur C. Clarke http://www.mayofamily.com/RLM/txt_Clarke_Superiority.html

I just noticed that i still can win bullseye if write a short tweet for any long tweet i published. Maybe i have to rethink the game… :)

@krt@krt.marmaro.de I actually like it when tweets are short, but insisting on 140 characters and cutting the tweet is a little bit too strict.

@kas@enotty.dk We had a short power fluctuation yesterday. Funny to see which machines die and which survive.
