its just a nym.
when i was in school i fed obsessions with the library cataloge.
i was lucky because i had access to a world class library. i would normally start with a wikipedia entry, use the footnotes to get started with basic sources--figuring out who the prominent voices/authorities are on the topic is the first thread you want to pull--if you read them and find them interesting, try figuring out who they were reading (again, using footnotes/references).
i think it's basically what happened to me with bitcoin, except that the "references" are a little more convoluted, hence the idea that it is a "rabbit hole."
+1 for Wendy's!
but nothing beats a home made burger patty, made and grilled fresh in my own backyard.
Hey,
just was thinking about this this morning... brainstorming here...
i'd like to do a monthly issue featuring some of the writing in ~the_stacker_muse, zine style. im looking into my options to get some of this stuff into print, you know? so i wondered, have you ever considered printing as a service? i mean, if i took care of the layout, designing, editing etc., would you be able print it and ship it in exchange for some sats? what do you think? im open to other ideas as well...
it brings me some comfort knowing that while i'm tucked in my little corner working for 'the man,' you are out and about talking to interesting folks, walking your dog and taking pictures. i understand it is probably not always sunflowers and roses, so thank you for keeping us updated on your goings on.
writers on writing: everyone on sn is an assmilker
I'm mostly screaming into emptiness, and for what really?
there, an homage to den!
i only just got the chance to read and digest this, although i did zap it earlier because i could see the proof of work (thank you keynsian beauty contest rewards).
it made a lot of sense to me, especially after reading scorsby's trial by fire.
i'll have to think on this idea some more until i have something more meaningful to add--although i will say that i noticed you took and made some complex concepts accessible and succinct--and in the meantime, i'll be waiting for your book to come out.
Mice (undeterred): Tell me some more about the mechanics of writing.
Y.C.: What do you mean? Like pencil or typewriter? For chrissake.
Mice: Yes.
Y.C.: Listen. When you start to write you get all the kick and the reader gets none. So you might as well use a typewriter because it is that much easier and you enjoy it that much more. After you learn to write your whole object is to convey everything, every sensation, sight, feeling, place and emotion to the reader. To do this you have to work over what you write. If you write with a pencil you get three different sights at it to see if the reader is getting what you wanted him to. First when you read it over; then when it is typed you get another chance to improve it, and again in the proof. Writing it first in pencil gives you one-third more chance to improve it. That is .333 which is a damned good average for a hitter. It also keeps it fluid longer so that you can better it easier.
i thought about writing something about how i'll miss his column, but this is much more appropriate.
how can we ever know when you're serious and when youre just assmilking denlillaapan? do we need a safeword!?
also the subtle prod at Car recalled a fun conversation i heard last Friday, that may or may have been recorded and posted online 👀
bravo!
it sounds like he understood it as, come make a tutorial about bitrefill on Stacker News; not, as i understood sensei, make a tutorial on how to use Stacker News to earn sats to spend on Bitrefill. oh well, a great effort anyway!
probably worth it to follow-up!
wow -- powerful. i've too gazed at beloved places from satellite imagery, and it gave me an otherworldly feeling.
have you ever returned since childhood?
do you think you'll ever find another occasion to go?
Yep, this is the one.
I ran a few stress tests and it seemed to be ok.
would you recommend another brand?
