Music Television doesn’t necessarily have to be showing videos, but showing something at least tangentially related to music would be nice. MTV is now what every channel is: put whatever is required in front of the viewer to sell ads. All channels are the same shit now.

Little known fact: the imaginary numbers are the algebraic closure of the irrational numbers.

Maybe not, but ceiling cat is watching you masturbate.

Just remember, when it comes to baby Jesus, if you’re not first, you’re last.

Ricky Bobby approves.

I think free will is an illusion that a brain creates to aid in human perception. This illusion is an evolutionary adaptation so that a human acts to preserve its body and its genes by perceiving its person as distinct from other persons and the environment.

It’s a big improvement from making them from straw.

The problem is that I don’t have static versions of most of the libraries available.

Are the Dutch the same as the lizard people? Because if not, I don’t get what this is saying.

I am 50 years old. I thought by becoming a research engineer I could improve the world like others before me who created things like radio, indoor plumbing, and textile factories. I published over a hundred research papers, but I learned that no one reads research papers anymore, and publication has become a complete waste of time. I learned that politics and money trump engineering considerations 100% of the time, and that the sole purpose of technology now seems to draw money from investors’ wallets. I wanted to be a great teacher, but engineers are not paid to do that because it doesn’t make money, so now I just make open source projects that I hope can be used to be examples to learn from. But I don’t think I’ll be remembered, as it seems technology nowadays is largely used as a means of swindling people out of their money so they can buy stuff they don’t need and makes them miserable.

It could be worse. Think of spending your years on a futile effort, one which you sacrificed your youth and health to try to achieve, and having to look back on that.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Don’t worry, none of this will matter after the heat death of the universe.

It’s not stupid. Perpetual despondence can kill you as surely as a bullet.

What operating system defines you as a person?

A blockchain can provide an irrevocable record, and it can provide a mechanism for uncooperating parties to agree that the record should be created. This is usually used for financial transactions involving coins of dubious value, but it can also be used for recording transactions of real world assets as long as those transactions can be faithfully linked to the event on the blockchain. Therefore the blockchain doesn’t really prove that a transaction is fraudulent or not, all it proves is that a sufficient number of parties believe it is not.

The problem is that ceramic and glass dishes often chip if they are in contact with each other in the dishwasher.

I have a few parametric projects I posed on my github:

One of them is called “Memorybox” and is a gift box I made that has parametrically definable dimensions, and the text embossed on it can be changed as well.
