Well it used to be that rich people preferred to have porcelain white skin, because the poor had to be outside to work. Then the poor started working indoors, so now the rich prefer to be tanned.

Art tastes will change similarly. Art with obvious imperfections will be considered better. Actual paintings with large obvious, textured brush strokes. Books and poems printed on rough hand made paper. Maybe even hand lettered. Things that were obviously done by a skilled craftsman, but would be difficult to do with machines and Ai.

Think the neovictorians from Neal Stephensons The Diamond Age.

Yeah, but it just worked better. I remember doing all the cludges and hacks for IE. The bad taste in my mouth is still largely the reason I hate doing web ui work.

It's interesting to see the similarities between the market when IE was king and now with chrome. I prefer to use Firefox, but there are just so many sites that only work with chrome. Etc.

Well when it was just IE, Netscape and Opera... IE was the best browser. It won. Hands down.

How long until it becomes Alligator Auschwitz?

That was well thought out. Thanks for sharing

Well I'm not crazy about how some cultures make a habit of staying up until 2am blasting Ranchero music on the weekends. I just want to sleep, is that too much to ask?

But that's not grounds for dehumanizing them and shipping them off to alligator camps.

What about scams you're born into, but stayed in waaaay to long? If so Mormonism and the Republican party.

Did you read the books? They're not bad.

Myst, I wanted to write books that linked to worlds. Figured the closest thing was programming.

Civilization 1, patients, economics, frustration.

Doom, was just a shit ton of fun and got me into networking so we could play against each other.

 

I'm celebrating my datahoarding problem.

 

Other than some shelves that I made for my office. This is the first piece of furniture I've ever made. Lots and lots of mistakes and do-overs. Still, I think it turned out pretty good.

Coffee table. 2 36"x36" sheets of birch ply, with 1/8" Poplar hobby boards glued/nailed to it in the design. The ply was stained with homemade Iron Acetate stain. Then epoxy was poured onto the recessed parts and in all the cracks. Then the whole thing was sanded again and covered in many coats of Lacquer... lost count.

The table uses a mechanism ordered from AliExpress that folds out to a table. It pops up, and to the left, then the top of the coffee table is rotated over the other "legs" of the mechanism, and it becomes this table. Just high enough to comfortably game from the sofa. (The plywood surface was stained with Minwax Golden Oak and coated in about ten coats of lacquer.)

 

Reddit refugee trying to understand the differences. Maybe I'm missing something but it's not obvious what the difference is between "Active", "Hot", "Top" etc. Any place I can get an explanation?
