Баунс читает Кафку.

Would you love me if I became a worm?, somebody could ask. I would respond that no, I don't in fact love you, for you are a worm.

Indeed I find humans more valuable.

Yon

m15o.ichi.city/yon

Yon is a little UI for knowledge designed to be used every day. Add your notes, write your diary, and connect thoughts with bidirectional links. Explore your text through an acme-inspired interface to dive deep or go wide and always find your way back. Yon code and your notes are contained in a single standalone html file with no dependency, so that you can open the lid and tweak any part of it and make it your own.

Синтаксис Лиспа

grishaev.me/lisp-syntax

У скобочной записи есть преимущество: каждое выражение имеет начало и конец. Не обязательно писать на Лиспе, но нужно знать эту его сторону. Чтобы не выглядеть глупо, не хихикать и не прыскать в кулачок, когда случится увидеть Лисп.

Why you need a "WTF Notebook"

www.simplermachines.com/why-you-need-a-wtf-notebook

WTF Notebook gives me a place to park the impulse to fix it now, damn it! until I have more context for deciding what to work on first. Instead, for two weeks, I just write things down.

The Starship or the Canoe: Where Will Our Future Adaptations Be? - Cal Alumni Association

alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/summer-2017-adaptation/starship-or-canoe-where-will-our-future-adaptations-be

Прекрасная статья о выборе человечества - покинуть планету с её проблемами или остаться и решать их? Обратиться к корням - природе, ручному труду или отвергнуть прошлое и адаптироваться к жестокому космосу?
Как сказал Курт Воннегут: "What makes you think you’re going anywhere?"
Подобные Дайсонам, в моей душе борются отец и сын, правда скорее поменявшись ролями. Тянуться к недостижимому космосу, к неизведанным и от того прекрасным технологиям с их бесконечными проблемами? Или обратить внимание на верную спутницу человека - прекрасную Землю и, возможно, обрести покой в отказе от амбиций?

Personal Goals Have to Happen Now

www.raptitude.com/2023/11/personal-goals-have-to-happen-now

Personal goals are generally expected to happen later.
The reason it’s hard to get going on personal goals is that you’re already using all of your time. No matter who you are, you’re already using all 24 hours, every day, for something. Because this will always be true, goals that happen at all must happen now, while you still don’t yet have time.
Basically, you learn to work in small, uniform parcels of time. They’re short, timer-bound, and unwaveringly focused on a particular outcome. Most importantly, they can fit into real life, as it already is.
