Apparently, not only is Netflix making more FMV VNs, but Youtube Red is going to produce some too? As a VN author I can’t complain too much but jesus are we in 1993 again? The return to forgotten history in the tech industry gives me whiplash
going without was fun and all, but i’m glad to have something to use again
despite the temporary break of last weekend, i still feel like i’ve been going at full power
my no-laptop experiment is still going alright… although i’m kind of just excited to start messing around with my new one when it comes
holy shit did the domekano anime cut like most of the literature club shit? i don’t remember them going camping & hina getting stung by a wasp
i’ve been insanely productive this week… usually my manic states don’t go on for this long but we’re pushing three days
today was the day of the triennual trying of the fish shell only to go back to bash within an hour or two
i’m going without a laptop for a week… i’m really excited about it and day 1 was great so far
We ought to be suspicious of business plans that resemble manifest destiny: expansion into supposedly-unclaimed regions, turning inhabitants into tools & discarding the resistant (who now have nowhere to go) or worse.
Why Conspiracy Videos Go Viral on YouTube - The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/02/reason-conspiracy-videos-work-so-well-youtube/583282/
A lot of people are going to start watching Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, and then say ‘this looks like trash’ and stop watching it. They’re right, and it’s a shame. Higurashi had the same problem.
Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.

Unusual core features for a dream language for small computing: MUMPS-style disk persistence of otherwise normal variables indicated by sigils, go-style piping between coroutines or greenthreads, message passing & guards like erlang, parsing backtracking like icon, constraint solving like prolog
i think it’s going to take some time before i can actually Do School again…
One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.
@kas@enotty.dk I should have gone for the two-hour nap (to a first approximation, I can’t powernap). Ended up going to bed at 5 without having had a two-hour nap previously. Failed experiments are the price of knowledge, I guess.
My furnace broke & the furnace repair guy is snowed in, & it’ll be going below zero tonight. So, I had to run to walmart & buy a bunch of space heaters, & I’ll be up all night making sure nothing catches on fire :(
Where did all the utopias go? Well, nobody writes utopian novels anymore, but everybody writes utopian code

raised by machines, the feral kids of the robotic undercity recite ads as greetings, talk in beeps and whirrs and modem chirps, go still and make fan noises when stressed
We all know about social constructs vs reality, but there are levels of spookiness (and no upper bound). We can define them as how far a lie can go before the truth gets its boots on. Spookiness level one – money – already goes basically perpetually.
Broken Chain Restaurants: When Fast Food Franchises Go Solo https://tedium.co/2018/12/04/broken-chains-fast-food-restaurants/
80: innocuous-looking, but refuses to output anything. instead, random things in my room go bump. ‘u’ reliably closes the curtains, while the first ‘del’ the made my room shake with generator hum. have yet to figure out where it is. help I can’t sleep
Remember: unless your turkey sees its shadow, you must go back underground and avoid buying anything until halloween of next year.
Oh no… The Alita movie is going to try to cover the rollerball arc in addition to the first arc.
I’m going to be periodically posting research resources for the new book here, as I find them: http://www.lord-enki.net/resources-survey-of-alternatives.html
Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations.
@khuxkm@khuxkm.tilde.team yeaaaaa buddy go get em. hack-n-slash-em hacktober!
Because of the use of ‘rune’ to refer to unicode codepoints in go, a fulthark transliteration program might have somewhat confusing source…
Lexical Scanning in Go - Rob Pike - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE
At work for only 70 min and I already want to go home.
New repository: aquilax/time66 - Go library to get the 6/6 time. Based on https://xkcd.com/2050/
Is there already a term for going into a piece of media with the expectation that it won’t be a waste of time / there’s something to be gained by paying attention & thinking? (Like ‘good-faith viewership’?)
I love it. I have a program that needs to processing about half a million records, which will take 3 days. The database that all those records are suppose to go to is acting up after I’ve just done 140K records.
i should start going to be earlier
Pet peeve: on my work computer, 80% of my lobste.rs comments double-post because of some kind of missing deduplication logic. Then, I have to periodically go through all my threads to delete the duplicates. Sometimes one copy of the post will have 2 upvotes & the other 3.

If imports from China suddenly dropped substantially (say, due to tariffs), would enough manufacturing business go back to S. Korea & Japan to affect Japan’s almost-30-year economic stagnation?

@mdom@domgoergen.com That’s interesting. So does txtnish read that metadata? or would an end user just look at the file to see it? Is the meta data going to be the standard?
Evil Bobs brand new gopherproxy-c is double as fast as gopherproxy-go. Amazing! (migration is in progress)
