@phryk @alyx We were talking about this a few years ago when Los Angeles started changing its streetlights from sodium to LED https://la.curbed.com/2014/2/3/10156584/las-new-led-streetlights-are-changing-the-way-movies-look-1

@alyx That kind of reminds me of the blue haze (caused by tobacco smoke) you see in many old sports photos…

Sure, it wasn't "better" than now, but it still looks damn good.

my favorite bit of vampire lore is that if you throw rice at them, they can't continue what they were doing until they finish counting it.

@alyx favourite reply I've heard to this is with straight men.

It is very soothing to watch a spider spin a web. The spiderling in the basil does it just like this, complete with tiny foot scrabbling to touch the last thread so she knows where to attach the next one.

I have more often been made better by people with different life experiences genuinely sharing their frustrations with demographics in which I may fall than I have ever been made worse. When someone criticizes "white people" or "cis people" (or men, straight people, or whatever privileged demo you may find yourself lumped into), instead of taking it as a personal offense, maybe take it as a lesson in how not to act and move on.

Here's the classic Dynabook paper from when Alan Kay was at PARC in 1972: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/hc_pers_comp_for_children.pdf

The nuances, the concepts he chooses to elucidate upon and explore in-depth, the very nature of the topic and the reasoning behind his choosing to devote his life to it, is so markedly different than "move fast break things" in concept and practice.

it is a key part of what makes me feel like a stranger in a strange land in the tech world these days.
