How ‘Stranger Things’ Defined the Era of the Algorithm
As Stranger Things releases the first four episodes of its final season today, nearly a decade after its July 2016 premiere, the Netflix series has come to represent something broader than its own popularity – the embodiment of streaming television’s algorithmic philosophy. When the show first appeared, streaming was still finding its footing. Netflix had be … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, this is another instance of restricting “personal” computing. You won’t be able to install arbitrary software anymore (“sideloading”, as they call it).
It’s not unique, it’s not new. Boiling the frog alive.

The lack of suckless-like simple, hackable software these days is appalling.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hm, I wouldn’t say that. Go code could fall into that category as well.
Maybe this topic could use a blog post / article, that explains what it’s about. I’m finding it hard to really define what “suckless-like software” is. 🤔 (Their own philosophy focuses too much on elitism, if you ask me.)
Erlang Solutions: Elixir vs Haskell: What’s the Difference?
Elixir and Haskell are two very powerful, very popular programming languages. However, each has its strengths and weaknesses. Whilst they are similar in a few ways, it’s their differences that make them more suitable for certain tasks.
Here’s an Elixir vs Haskell comparison.

Peter Saint-Andre: Philosophies and Ways of Life
In his book What Is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot almost singlehandedly resurrected the ancient conception of philosophy as a way of life. Consider this observation about the philosophical schools of Greece and Rome: “For us moderns, the notion of a philosophical school evokes only the idea of a doctrinal tendency or theoretical position. Things were very different in antiquity. No university obligations oriented the future philosopher toward a specific school; instead, the futur … ⌘ Read more
Peter Saint-Andre: MLK and Personalism
In my recent post on idealism and identity, I mentioned my attraction to the philosophy of personalism, with its emphasis on human dignity. It is perhaps a little-known fact that Martin Luther King, Jr., was greatly influenced by that very philosophy. Early in life he ventured north to study at Boston University, then the center of personalist thought in America, where he completed his doctorate under theologian Edgar Sheffield Brightman. We can see the deep influence of personalism on King’s … ⌘ Read more

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com There isn’t an equivalent for those because:
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.
You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.
Classical philosophy: Disputing definitions. Analytic philosophy: Disputing definitions, rigorously. Continental philosophy: Disputing definitions, poetically.

Hot take: gopher is not a failed attempt to invent the WWW, but its own crystallization of a coherent philosophy – to present jump links between text files, without all the other bollocks. That makes it as valuable today as it was 25 years ago.
