10:25:49 From Brian There was a study with a "direction belt" where there was a belt with some vibration device every 45 degrees around the belt. Every 10s the north oriented one would vibrate. Subjects adapted/assimilated very quickly, had a significantly improved sense of direction and navigation, and became disoriented when they took the belt off.

10:26:50 From Brian I still haven't made a Sunday session...because understanding time....lol.

10:26:51 From Robert Best Entropy got in the way

10:28:28 From Robert Best https://blog.zoom.us/continuous-meeting-chat/

10:29:37 From Brian With the potential of old data on Twitter going away, I think it's an interesting societal question about what part of the internet should be saved, and whose responsibility should it be to save it. Lots of perspectives to approach it from. The waybackmachine, the internet archive, and Wikipedia are all pretty amazing. But so is Twitter, and now it's a private entity...and it captured a possibly very special time in internet growth.

10:29:48 From Jeff Miller (Robert Sterbal describes a concordance of which books were discussed on which podcasts) I was thinking ruefully of my old Twitter images for sketch notes / Inktechtober.

10:30:54 From Jeff Miller and, of, if, the, but ... (stopwords for KWIC)

10:31:08 From Robert Sterbal https://sterbalssundrystudies.miraheze.org/wiki/Bookmarks_0-Z 0-9 * A * B * C * D * E * F * G * H * I * J * K * L * M * N * O * P * Q * R * S * T * U * V * W * X * Y * Z * What Points Here

10:31:09 From Jeff Miller LED DOM I was super impressed by the two-letter grouping

10:31:54 From Brian #tagging systems are pretty useful addition to an index.

10:32:10 From Jeff Miller pan on the stove

10:32:36 From Paul Rodwell Chat is just one strand in the stream - the conversation is another. Chat is not a single strand, it may relate to the conversation or not. All braided together. Chat is one braid (rather than strand)

10:33:28 From Robert Sterbal for my folders: C- CA CB CC CD CE CH CI CL CM CO CP CR CS CT CU CY

10:34:00 From Robert Best If we wanted, I think Marc and I, as owners of the two zoom rooms we use, could go back in an export an exhaustive list of all our chat logs if that would be desired.

10:36:04 From Jeff Miller second breakfast] (Kerry and Marc's discussion about prose and poetry: prose is about facts, poetry about truth)

10:37:00 From Robert Sterbal here is a portion of my 2 character C folders: C\CP C\CR\craft-and-vendor-fairs C\CR\Craft-Lnp C\CR\Crafty-Moon C\CR\craig-gouker-roofing C\CR\Craig-Wyrill C\CR\craigslist C\CR\crane C\CR\crate-cooking-school C\CR\create-cashflow C\CR\Creative-Options C\CR\Creator-Academy C\CR\credentialsfileview C\CR\credit_reports C\CR\cricket C\CR\cricut C\CR\criminal-(in)justice-podcast C\CR\Criminal-Injustice C\CR\Cris-Origami's C\CR\Cristina-Bleha C\CR\Crosby-Whitlock C\CR\Crossroads-Eye-Care C\CR\crowdstreet C\CR\crust C\CR C\CS\C-Sharp-Corner C\CS\CS50 C\CS\CSA C\CS\CSS C\CS\csvfileview C\CS C\CT\ctie C\CT C\CU\Cuisinart-Waffle-Maker C\CU\curative C\CU\Curious-Incident-of-the-Dog-in-the-Night-Time C\CU\curl C\CU\cursors C\CU\Curtis-McCants C\CU\customexplorertoolbar C\CU\cute C\CU\cute-photos C\CU C\CY\Cyd-Stack C\CY\Cynthia-Mo C\CY C

10:37:38 From Jeff Miller [poetically stated thoughts] -> aim at truths
[prosaically stated thought] -> systematic account opposing truths? "the opposite of a great truth is another great truth" -> poetically expressed

10:38:39 From Jeff Miller right, oral traditions use rhythm and rhyme to cue memorization once a tradition here, recite "The Boy Stood On the Burning Deck" etc.

10:39:07 From Brian Novels are about immersion, short stories are about emotional response. Poetry is structured, yet open ended...

10:40:58 From Jeff Miller p much! (collecting punch cards from different universities, like matchbook covers)

10:41:03 From Ralf Re: Poetry See my favorite page http://wiki.ralfbarkow.ch/view/parallel-poetry

10:42:08 From Paul Rodwell so much faster than waiting for a keypunch - https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/userdata/images/large/86/92/product-78692.jpg

10:53:16

10:53:16 From Brian When you get asked, "How much money can you absorb?" That really changes the perspective of how you approach a problem.... An example is the history of CCD cameras.

10:53:59 From Marc Pierson afford or absorb?

10:54:25 From Jeff Miller I have a shirt with Margaret Hamilton and her stack of Apollo code

10:55:06 From Brian absorb. The government wanted to accelerate the program. Time was what mattered, money wasn't an issue.

10:56:11 From Robert Sterbal reminds me of the Mars Helicopter

10:56:35 From Jeff Miller I think there's also a story about Margaret Hamilton vs. the early MIT programmer hackers who would try to get better settings by playing around overnight. you want folks to do limited damage with their pranks

10:57:31 From Robert Sterbal https://unsungscience.com/news/the-mars-helicopter-that-would-not-die/ The helicopter would lose power every night

11:05:31

11:05:31 From Eric Dobbs Oops. Gotta run to my next meeting. See y'all.

11:06:19 From Brian Is there a 'm' for create a markdown paragraph when making a new page? I'm in making pages mode, and the 3 clicks is the itchy part... I'm really loving that botnets haven't really figured out how to exploit Mastodon yet...

11:11:28

11:11:28 From Brian Being able to group items with sort is incredibly valuable. Usually this is NounVerb or YYYYMMDD sort of patterns.

11:13:22 From Robert Sterbal Reacted to "Being able to group ..." with 👍

11:14:49 From Robert Sterbal viruses tend to be exponential

11:18:30

11:18:30 From Robert Best Connor turland

11:22:40

11:22:40 From Brian You might check if the jquery thing is in something that looks like `<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js" />`

11:25:29

11:25:29 From Brian Not to be confused with https://www.typescriptlang.org/

11:25:38 From Paul Rodwell as compared to the programming language Typescript

11:26:11 From Jeff Miller http://jeff.dojo.fed.wiki/view/typescript-archive/view/typescript-index-2023-08-16/view/typescript-2023-08-16

11:29:03

11:29:03 From Jeff Miller http://jeff.dojo.fed.wiki/view/typescript-archive/view/typescript-index-2023-07-19/view/typescript-2023-07-19

11:31:50

11:31:50 From Brian Zoom will do transcription, but that might not be in the free tier. Also thinking a word cloud or the graph of linking words are the next graphics kinds of things...

11:32:50 From Robert Best https://grain.com/

11:33:02 From Brian You might cap it at 1MB or something to prevent crazy runaway cases.

11:44:15

11:44:15 From Brian For every gcc/emacs story, I'd guess there are 1000x or more cases where the rebels didn't do the right thing...

11:44:33 From Jeff Miller and thus the schism dribbled off or got renamed and built into something else this seems okay

11:45:25 From Brian The emergency rate is like $500/hr...lol.

11:45:33 From Jeff Miller well yes the "you made me change my calendar" rate right bitnet / arpanet / ... / ...

11:46:25 From Brian And then the porn industry really boosted it at a certain point...

11:47:02 From Jeff Miller for sure, scalability, probably efficiency, the dethroning of the Apache web server

11:47:09 From Brian Business has different values than individuals/communities...If they can be aligned, then it's okay.

11:47:17 From Jeff Miller yes and there's "industry" (making things and providing services) versus "business" (or "finance capital") which seeks to control future money flows strategically

11:47:58 From Brian Oversimplification, that $$$ is the goal rather than lowering stress, getting needs taken care of, enjoying others company, etc...

11:48:07 From Jeff Miller nod I keep thinking if you have US$50million, you've won capitalism, go home

11:49:41 From Brian Might even be $5M is a better "win" point.

11:49:58 From Ward Cunningham http://code.fed.wiki.org/presidential-platform.html

11:50:38 From Jeff Miller pick a winnable number that's enforceable; you could bankrupt yourself with $5M of health care (unless Ward 's platform goes throug) through) if Consumers Union actually had the power to commission products and services

11:51:34 From Brian Sort of off topic, but I think there is a reasonable amount for spending in care, and beyond that, I'm okay dying...My number for pets is quite low...

11:51:37 From Jeff Miller (to Ward's point)

11:53:49 From Brian Airfare should be used for vacations and not for business... er air travel.

11:55:16 From Brian Everything is fighting words, when someone is looking for a fight.
