The latter Evangelion episodes seemed similar (but not quite as crazy as Lain). Apparently they're making a follow-up series too!

If you are remote, I recommend taking all the time you save with AI and watching random highly-rated video essays on youtube. :-) It's sounds like I'm kidding, but continually learning and engaging with education and criticism has kept my brain working in ways that make me happy. Getting into a new art form (I've been buying a lot of manga recently) and learning about it is exciting.

I'm pretty happy being invisible these days. I have to balance my business, family, friends, hobbies and interests (I particularly enjoy going to jamband concerts, cooking for my family, and I've really gotten into anime and manga lately). Sometimes I feel a little guilty being invisible because we kinda need to speak up as much as we can these days, but to me, invisibility is an asset that allows me to enjoy life.

This channel is so underrated

"The Dictionary of the Khazars" by Milorad Pavić - maybe the first "hypertext" novel; certainly could be one if it was electronic. You can read the entries in any order really and you wind up putting together everything that happens like a giant jigsaw puzzle. That'll keep your brain strong!

Once the economics work out, the economy as a whole doesn't, therefore the economics DOESN'T WORK OUT.

Exactly. The "my" in "my backyard" can apply to everyone therefore nothing gets built. The alternative is everything gets built. There has to be a middle ground, which is what zoning laws are meant to accomplish. We have buildings and multi-family housing going up in our town too, but we also have historically-protected buildings on the main street that require some more work if you want to do stuff with them. This is a good balance.

I love Kai

Yes! Came here to recommend Max. His cookbook is also educational and interesting and some of the recipes are even good! :-)

I remember when I first learned about the difference between spatial and frequency domains. I didn’t actually get it fully during class. But during the walk home I had to stop and sit down and think about it… I started to “refactor” all of human history into frequency changes! It’s a pretty interesting concept.

Damn.. images of glossy PC Magazines that I used to read are filling my head.. growing up in the 80s & 90s with computer building and reselling as the family business, and just being excited about new technology, and he was a part of that.

if only i could open a terminal session on another computer somewhere and have it continue running even if my laptop goes to sleep... hmmmm... i'm sure no one has ever thought of this before because i'm so genius so i'll vibecode it tonight! /s

(now how do i work the name screen or tmux into the joke?)

twinBASIC and radbasic are two projects trying to clone it. But it's definitely harder to do than either anticipated. I still support VB6 apps (some of which are bumping up against the limit of the EXE size!) and I'd love a replacement, but it's slow going!
