woah when was this added

they mailed my check 😩

imagining a programming language which requires you to write your code in order

like this

my reason for switching around alphabetic characters is largely not for the purpose of typing ergonomics for alphabetic characters, it’s making the higher levels of the keyboard layout make sense

i think it actually makes more sense to swap Y and F; a lot of words end in ‐ny or ‐ey and it’s nice to have them on different hands

what if my make my keyboard layout QZERHGIUOF

what am i missing

nobody attempted to answer this very interesting question, which, fair

somehow people never make that leap though they just want the private organizations to do good for everybody out of some sense of personal justice or idek

a state-owned institution, funded by the people and acting on their behalf and in their interests, has moral, legal, and political responsibilities to meet their needs.

a private organization doesn’t. a private organization certainly doesn’t have an obligation to meet the needs of EVERY person. they can just pick a subset.

if all the private organizations are picking subsets which don’t include you, that’s a strong argument for state ownership.

sometimes the way people talk about companies is as if they think companies should be owned by the state

sometimes these people are even anarchists

yesterday for work i literally copy pasted the XSLT that generates the index pages of www.u2764.com and slapped an MIT license on it and stuck it in a work repository

imagine if tumblr users knew how to throw out a good etaoin instead of an asghfklgs

good ol' linotype, saving us from the boring comprehensibility of the modern era

people who know etaoin shrdlu also have access to a much better set of arbitrary variable names than foo and bar

people who know etaoin shrdlu have a distinct advantage at wordle

ooh maybe TRIES, although it’s not as fun
