London is so large, it's kind of unbearable.

@Thairyn I read something a while back that argued for this from the institutional side, and in very different language. Solidly agree, btw.

@siobhangx hah. I do know what you mean!

@siobhangx real good to see you again. and yes, me too. a place to be among like-minded people.

I spent the evening finishing this novel and have returned to twitter to find that @katbamkapow has bought a beautiful knife
-
.@katbamkapow The novel was the best novel about dogs which have been modified to have the intelligence of humans I've read since Stapledon's Sirius.
-
@atduskgreg @katbamkapow No! It was Lives of the Monster Dogs by Kirsten Bakis.
-
@KommanderKlobb It was about dogs which have been modified to have the intelligence of humans. Also prosthetic hands and artificial voiceboxes.
-
@atduskgreg @katbamkapow I've just finished, so not digested it yet - but it's literary fiction with some great images in.
-
@notquitereal JACK
-
@notquitereal (thank you)
-
@notquitereal I pitched it as more of a performance than a talk, which I think is the right way to think about that kind of thing.
-
@juliagalef @chenoehart I broadly agree with all that, but still think he's doing the wrong thing by: focusing on Mars getting huge subsidies being anti-union

@FlorianVltmn I don't see why real-time gameplay needs to be set in the present. The focal point of narration might be in the past, but there's usually...
-
@FlorianVltmn ...still a, uh, "moving locus" of events. Like... what's the difference between Ladykiller's use of past tense and a novels?
-
Might buy a top hat and some fingerless gloves and start a new career as a YouTuber crusading for rationality.
-
@FlorianVltmn Right - and Ladykiller obv gets good narrative tension out of knowing how things inevitably end up (though obv some details change)

@Coleo_Kin "Gray bones in gravy"?
-
so richard spencer is right now calling for a pan-european/globalist coalition of fascists. which is both wild and also unsurprising
-
does this show any real contradiction in what they're fighting for? or does it just make it clear it's about racism, not nationalism?
-
@mcclure111 yeah, i've definitely noticed it in practice, if not in rhetoric
-
@mcclure111 yeah - i mean, that's mainly due to the dynamics of that situation, you gotta trade with _someone_.

@mcclure111 but also all those folks have strong contacts abroad, live in an international world, would be pissed if borders started applying to them

-
@dreamfeelx yeah - that's what i was getting at initially, but the j-blo ref threw it off. i don't know i would have advised it, but if so, i was wrong.

@helvetica @doougle but i grew up as a dev within unity's constraints, so the unity ecosystem is natural and just-the-way-it-is for me.

@hypirlink it is, but the code is a mess, so i'm unlikely to merge & deploy PRs github.com/v21/traceryhosting-backend github.com/v21/traceryhosting-frontend

@hypirlink (& i'm currently pretty precious & dictatorial about design...) but that said, i'd love to hear about yr feature idea
-
@hypirlink ah, yeah - could be better there... but it's complex to support! can't fetch forever up the reply chain, as you'll use all yr API calls
-
@hypirlink you can cache that stuff -- but then you need to like, expire caches etc and it gets complex to admin.
-
@hypirlink and i really don't want to add any more user facing options to toggle this behaviour, so it needs to be a good default for all usages

@hypirlink all of which said, i'm not sold that the current behaviour is the best. so i'm open to suggestions.
