A Serif Badge Pin using a stretched out version of my Spagetty typeface in antique silver (probably not real silver) and it's available now in the shop! Wear it with pride, knowing that most people will point out the horrendous typo. Then you can explain the joke and they will probably think even less of you. But deep down, you'll know you have the upper hand regarding typography lingo puns. And that means something. simplebits.shop

I don’t usually post DMs, but this is a rare exception as I actually asked him before doing so and he consented. Danial is a local Malaysian. Several months ago he asked “Would be cool if you could repost our current portfolio of projects as well, under KD Labs 👀”. I invited him to the Network School campus, as I do many Malaysian builders. He also said he wanted to build a virtual campus for Malaysians, a similar vision to me regarding a network state. Of course, I support him in that vision! And of course it shows that the concept of the network state, like the concept of cryptocurrency, h… Quoting @masterofnone The Network School (@ns) drama is all over the Internet What's really happening?

Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing. Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world. By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing… Quoting @SandyofCthulhu @GameStalgiaX F*ck pirates, as a man who designed video games from 1988 through 2012. 70-90% of Doom's players pirated it. If not for that we would literally have had so much more for our workspace and upcoming projects - Quake may not have gutted id Software. At least 50% of Age of Empires was pir… Related

JavaScript
Their words
As the software industry is largely driven by trends and fashion, React's "cool factor" led to a mass amnesia regarding how to make normal, well-designed web apps made of HTML with a sprinkling of scripting on top and everything became one big tangled, brittle mass of Javascript that completely keeled over when scripting wasn't available.

Bluesky In the most recent video about quantum computing, I saw many comments expressing a similar point of confusion regarding Grover's algorithm. I made a follow-up to (hopefully) clarify some of the issues and to address a few other under-emphasized points. youtu.be

x.com In the most recent video about quantum computing, I saw many comments expressing a very similar point of confusion regarding Grover's algorithm. I made a follow-up to (hopefully) clarify some of the issues, which doubles as an excuse to talk a bit more about the central role of linearity in quantum computing. youtu.be

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
