I fondly remember creating simple narrative stories and games with HyperCard at 6 years old on my dad's Macintosh SE. It was my first contact with programming and a fundamental seed to using the computer as a creative tool. It has shaped my life in a substantial way. RIP Bill - HN bar should be blacked out.
The argument agains nuclear is not irrational. The true cost of nuclear is not sufficiently priced in. Example from recent history here in Germany the nuclear interim storage mine Asse is leaking and the garbage has to be recovered. Cost estimated to be 3.7 billion tax payer money. There is no solution for safe nuclear garbage storage in sight.
I have this issue with all my sites on Cloudflare since about three weeks, it seems to be limited to the Germany region. Most of the time all my sites load extremely slow and are unusable. I don't know what to do here, really frustrating.
The YouTube algorithm actually values videos higher that people watch for a longer time, so there is an incentive for the creation of this kind of content
This is not really what brutalism is about. Brutalism in architecture is often very playful and indeed more like a poetry and celebration of the raw materials and structure, not at all about the pure functionality absence of any aesthetic as formulated in that text. Brutalist buildings often neglect functionality in favour of architectural idiosyncracies. Like for example Trellick Tower: the elevators are in a separate tower outside the building and only serve every third floor. Brutalism celebrates raw form over function, and mostly people really don't enjoy living in these buildings.
I've had absolutely excellent experience with my Brother black and white laser printer, cost 100 €, with casual printing I only had to replace the toner cartridge once in about 5 years for 25 €
Honestly, the battery status is within reach of just a single mouse click in the Mac OS menu bar, I check it maybe once a week. I think there is even a warning when it reaches very low levels. In the rare case I forget to charge and run out, it is enough to charge it for like 15 minutes to keep working for the day.
A charge lasts me about a month of all day use, so this is still a non issue for me. Let's see how long until the battery becomes weaker. Enjoyed working with the mouse for a year so far.
Lol good to know. Original author here. I very occasionally get strange emails from people with mental health problems who are overly fascinated by it, as well as Google Play reviews accusing it to be "evil and demonic". I later created http://arkadia.xyz/ for a much more wholesome experience. The stuff in the first Zoomquilts is just fantasies of all the illustrators who participated back then, I assume there really was no evil intention :-D
is a classic german text from 1805 on this subject that I have always valued deeply
