« Members often describe their work as ‘scratching an itch’ by producing something tangible and craft-like. Scratching an itch is a common reason why people become involved with communities and why they stay. Yet tradition and repetition, key elements of other forms of craft production, have no place other than as building blocks upon which to take one’s own work further. Re-doing work similar to that of other coders does not scratch the itch satisfactorily, whereas it generally does among craftspeople. In this way, the craft system looks suspiciously like a system of science. It is not considered interesting to just make a media player or word processor, but only NEW KINDS of media players or word processors that exemplify some transformation in knowledge. »
my very asleep girlfriend just woke up enough to flop on top of me and pin me to the bed
@wikipediahaiku you misspelled “title”
oh nice new BERWYN
@coriander this here was peak Madden https://youtu.be/Gx-ppcV8uIM
@coriander i enjoyed early 00s Madden but like i want to play one good football game not an annual mediocre one
@coriander degrees minutes seconds are definitely base 60
things like a yard being three feet of twelve inches of sixteen sixteenths of an inch are definitely more complicated
i think technically the term there might be “mixed base”?
@coriander *looks at english units and measures* none of these motherfuckers are base twenty
there are definitely engineering decisions which are complex and weigh a lot of factors and require technical and theoretical expertise to evaluate, but those tend to be interesting problems
hard problems tend to be more like “i have known what needs to be done for six months but it is so aesthetically repugnant that i can only work on it for a couple of hours a week before my brain loses the ability to focus”
a hard problem is simply a problem that is hard
@coriander i got over 100 pretty easily but who am i missing??
@coriander that would require handing them off to an actually competent dev team
@shipperslist which vols i and ii? most english translations of strange tales are abridged; afaik https://jainpub.com/inc/sdetail/1445/2929 (6 vols) is the only unabridged version; in that version, Cut Sleeve is in Vol 2 under the title “Huang the Ninth” (i have a copy, but i’m moving this weekend so can’t access it immediately)
the title “Cut Sleeve” comes from the Minford’s translation, published by Penguin Classics (1 vol, abridged)
@akjcv@types.pl (some call the degree MLS [masters in library science] or MLIS [masters in library & information science]; i think these are more common now that information technology has become increasingly synonymized with “computer toucher”)
@akjcv@types.pl you need an MIS (masters in information science) for any position which says “librarian”, but there are lots of non-librarian staff technology positions in libraries (i have a b.a. in gender studies and am a digital library developer for example)
https://jobs.code4lib.org/ is where you find those (both the librarian positions and the non-librarian ones). they share a community, and are pretty nontoxic (partially, no doubt, on account of being a mix of subject matter specialists and software engineers rather than entirely the latter)
@akjcv@types.pl (work for a library if you can afford the lower pay?)
biden press conference
this was also a fine bit but in my head what i heard was “grandma can’t be doing that, she has arthritis”
biden press conference
all other things aside, biden saying “i’m the most pro-union president and you all doubted me, but guess what, the data is in” and then leaning close into the mic and whispering “when the unions win, we all win” WAS pretty great
putting these in a separate repo like this does create an unfortunate situation where i’m going to constantly be having to update a subrepo hash but frankly if i’m going to have to run a manual build every time anyway might as well
