I truly don't understand why companies always want to grow as if that is a given. growth == eventual death. just be content.

nice overview of the latest changes to sweden's open data policy. some good news in here (besides the awkward and somewhat neoliberal focus on "innovation")

Is any one on here a university first year or college freshman? Have you been able to make friends with people in your online classes? What's worked to build friendships for people you're not seeing face to face? What could your teachers or university be doing to make that easier?

@ubuntustudio Having fun with Ubuntu Studio Groovy Gorilla. This amazing release is shaping up really well. Plasma desktop looks good and is screaming fast. Jack, Carla, LSP plugins all works amazingly well!
Thanks for the great work!

should we ever really use variables like "b = 3" or "xoff = 52" which are single letter variables and unnecessary abbreviations that make it impossible to understand right away in a compiled or minified language? give me 50 character long variable names over that anyday. so much mental energy expended because of that practice.

I think I'll never stop loving Messiaen's "Theme and Variations" for piano and violin. I just love the plodding piano and syrupy violin lines.

Single most frustrating thing of any code editor:
When you type an “ and it puts a closing one in that you don’t want. You then delete the one you put in to keep the extra and both vanish.

“The introduction of a roving drone security camera inside your own home potentially upends the very idea of home as a private place.”

weird thing about the pandemic stay at home situation for me, is that it has generated way more intense work than free time. really behind on emails at the moment.

im working at a very design-heavy company and can agree with this. why is the design field so white? need to find better ways to address this and promote inclusion. if anyone has tips on organizations tackling this please let me know.

hi all, I'm Eric, currently in Santa Fe waiting out (___)
currently I'm learning cello (slowly, ulnar nerve issues) and teaching a class on computer music remotely at CalArts, the class is currently taking up most of my time and gives me weird feelings about adjunct teaching in general
