Energy makes time | everything changes
Energy makes time | everything changes
One weird trick for hacking the space-time continuum.
It turns out, not doing their art was costing them time, was draining it away, little by little, like a slow but steady leak. They had assumed, wrongly, that there wasn’t enough time in the day to do their art, because they assumed (because we’re conditioned to assume) that every thing we do costs time. But that math doesn’t take energy into account, doesn’t grok that doing things that energize you gives you time back. By doing their art, a whole lot of time suddenly returned. Their art didn’t need more time; their time needed their art.

Can generative AI help write accessible code? - TetraLogical
Like many inventions before it, Generative AI is changing the way we do things. Like those inventions that went before it, Generative AI is capable of great good and great harm, and like the humans that used those inventions before us, we need to be smart about the way we use Generative AI.

Accessibility Not-Checklist | Brewed by team Intopia
The Accessibility Not-Checklist acts as a guide to make sure you haven’t missed anything. If you’re new to accessibility, the resource provides a foundation – it’s an overview of what you’ll need to consider, but it won’t teach you WCAG from front to back.

Accessibility overlays
Accessibility overlays
Web accessibility overlays are tools or technologies that aim to improve the accessibility of a website. However, claims that a website can be made fully compliant in an automated fashion are not realistic.

Stop Closing Void Elements · Jens Oliver Meiert
Some developers believe in closing all HTML elements. Some have to close all HTML elements. Others don’t believe in doing so, or aren’t forced either way. In Upgrade Your HTML IV, I wrote a little about closing void elements.

our interior worlds
the interestingness of our thoughts
the interestingness of our thoughts

Station eleven was one of the books that I studied in my final year of high school, 2019… Pertinent timing, to say the least.

I feel like I simultaneously completely relate to the struggles expressed in this wonderful piece and also don’t relate at all? I don’t always value my thoughts enough to write them down, but often when I do instead of writing it down I have a misplaced faith in my brain to hold onto it until I get the chance to “properly” write it down (whatever that means), so I always inevitably forget the thought. I’ve been trying to make it easier to write down my thoughts, mainly by giving myself multiple avenues to do it, like notes apps, voice recorders, etc. and it seems like it might be helping a bit but honestly it’s hard! Especially because our thoughts often happen when our brains are idle while we’re doing things like showering or washing dishes or—in Winnie’s case—running. As I mentioned, I’ve also been trying to utilise voice memos, but just like Winnie I find using my voice incredibly challenging. I like to think I’ve mostly overcome my vocal dysphoria but it still creeps up on me in unexpected situations. Recording a voice memo with a thought when I haven’t spoken—or maybe even heard a sound—in hours? That’s definitely one of those situations.

I have spent so much emotional energy being sad about the current state of the world, but reading Station Eleven made me feel thankful that despite that the current pandemic virus being insidiously destructive, at the very least I can be here typing this because I can still charge the battery on my laptop and the internet still works. That’s the power of reading fiction I guess: imagining other worlds enable a contemplation of our relationship with the one we’re in.
We have so many thoughts passing through our brain that we take them for granted thinking that they are so plentiful and typical.
I think about why I don’t take down notes or blog as often as I would have liked. I think there is a subconscious belief that my thoughts and lived moments aren’t that interesting. To capture them there must be a belief that they are worth capturing
I often notice interesting thoughts during runs, but I don’t have something that could easily capture these thoughts. Being able to record voice memos during the run would help, but I still struggle with using my voice.
Maybe some people think that it is somewhat narcissistic to develop such an interest in our own thoughts. But I think it is a sort of respect to the complex network that exists in our brains, and this complex network is connected to a much more complex network that is this world. The interestingness forms when we consume something in the external world and process it with our inner selves.
Perhaps some people think self-expression is selfish, but I think it is one of the ultimate forms of participating in the world. It is not easy to give that time, space and respect to our inner selves, to believe something beautiful can emerge.
To me it is like having faith that it is a matter of time that something interesting will be captured. There are no questions, no doubt, no what ifs, no am I good enough. Just a knowing of an almost primal quality.
I am almost always dismissive of the messy world that lives in my head.
