• We started playing [[Myst]] (realMyst edition) last night and really enjoyed it.

• Read a little bit about [[Karrot]] and how they make their software.

• Reading [[Informatics of the Oppressed]]. Looking at historic experiments in informatics from [[Cuban socialism]] and [[liberation theology]] for redistribution of informational wealth. Think I came across it via [[Panda]].

• Had a quick look at kinopio.club for weeknote diagrams. I don’t think it was working properly? The how to thing seemed to be missing a bunch of cards.

• Spiderwiki: "Spiders appear to offload cognitive tasks to their webs, making them one of a number of species with a mind that isn’t fully confined within the head." https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-thoughts-of-a-spiderweb-20170523/

  • spent some time learning more about [[nix]] today. horrible ux but incredible tech
    • some of the highlights of today’s deep dive
      • you can use [[shopify/comma]] to run pretty much any program ever as easily as , <some-prog> without installing <some-prog>!
      • [[nixery]] is amazing: generates docker images on the fly that have pretty much any piece of software you can think of pre-installed
  • spent some time investigating [[athens]]
    • it’s coming along nicely! block refs and page links all seem to work as expected.
    • no way to import an existing roam graph for now though, so not gonna spend more time on it until that’s ready

• 15:43 backyard
  • death to bullshit
  • Nomograms
  • Is it morally wrong to write inefficient code?
