unsung heroes of early programming: the many women who, as factory weavers, assembled programs on rope memory.

interviewers expect us to implement linked lists on whiteboards because they are fundamental, but not weave or knit programs??? idgi. https://mastodon.social/media/_gpYfKQjzGd_XcxI5mM

Counterculture is inventing your own counterculture because the other countercultures are too mainstream.

kibi is proposing that being soft and kind and gentle and caring is the new counterculture. i'm way past my bedtime so i'm gonna leave you all to contemplate how that contrasts with punk, rock, metal, etc.; but perhaps is accurate?? hmmmm

I had an epiphany recently when an activist on a ventilator pointed out that it wasn’t their revolution if they died because you couldn’t keep the hospitals running.

Criticising “capitalism” only gets so far: you have to slide the better version underneath it while it’s running. You have to save everybody.

Otherwise you’ll need to remind me - and then - why you thought you’d be better.

This is why I like to watch “capitalism” closely (and lift everything that works).

English is very "The Rules Don't Matter" unless someone not white is breaking the rules, then suddenly the rules of English are VRY SRS GAIZ

watching eureka seven has me thinking like. what's our "counter culture" right now? is there multiple? does it have a purpose? how does the acceleration of culture affect this? a lot of what comes to mind as the counter-culture is stuff we consider to be jokes; whereas stuff in the past that i see as the counter-culture of the time usually takes itself more seriously.

So I posit: What's today's counter-culture and what purpose does it serve?

Take heart. What we’re doing has never been done before.
