The Either monad specifically only models early exit on Left without resumption. You'd need something more powerful like Cont to be able to resume. There are Haskell libraries that provide extensible effects using free monads, like https://t.co/rsvEbVULPs— Joe Groff (@jckarter) July 21, 2019

You keep looking for home, but you know where it is… It’s you! It’s only ever you

and I have so many things I want to show you.

As one astute tweet put it, “1999: there are thousands of websites, all hyperlinked together. 2019: there are four websites, each filled with screenshots of the other three.” ​ I just let the ideas fly. People did relate, usually, although—importantly, I think—sometimes they didn’t. That was okay, and expected. I was just saying things. ​ Long live the blog. Long live straightforwardly sharing what’s in our hearts.

Maybe, to a more advanced civilization, our trash and ruins would just be invisible, the way so much of what we call nature is invisible to us. The concept of nature, in a sense, is a way to describe or categorize what is outside the scope of human agency or immediate understanding, and that scope is always shifting, frequently in unintended directions.

I've written a property wrapper/Publisher which emits an event before wrappedValue is mutated. Would something like this be considered acceptable for use as the willChange Publisher? https://t.co/hMgUXdw3vx— Dalton (@daltonclaybrook) July 18, 2019

I’ve been thinking about this for days and all I’ve come up with is Theory, Brooklyn Denim, and Uniqlo.— mb (@mb) July 14, 2019

there is nothing more joyous than seeing a conversation bloom and meander and twist and blossom in a safe and intimate group chat among friends. it feels to me like a unique type of mediated communication that i struggle to find an in-person analog to. that wild, freeform energy of people you love all sharing and expressing and listening and hearing all at the same time is so exciting!! it feels like this explosion of simultaneous and related thoughts that all still coalesce and move together maybe it's similar to a group of people all talking together in-person! but so many in-person practices and etiquettes don't really translate to the group chat, so it feels more sudden and energetic in a way like in the group chat, it feels like there's a talking over each other but in a way that is responsive and doesn't feel rude! and in the group chat, you don't navigate that anxiety of "do i speak now, do i not, is what i'm gonna say gonna be ignored" as much, in my opinion i think it's partially because in speech, there is a limit where truly only one person can be talking at a time. in the group chat, through text, everyone can be constantly talking and listening all at the same time and there is a brilliant energy to that!! anyway those are my unstructured thoughts about the group chat. shoutout to the group chat!! hopefully i get to be in one one day

NY experts, what are some good public work spaces in Manhattan with WiFi where I can hunker down between meetings to jam this week? Between Midtown and Wall St?— Eugene Wei (@eugenewei) July 8, 2019

It's incredible how easy it is to get distracted and end up doing something completely different (like falling into a dopamine mining facility) when doing anything at all that requires opening the browser.— s-ol (@S0lll0s) July 4, 2019

(hers are crooked from falling asleep reading so often) She smells like Pantene and something that makes me giddy. I don’t tell her that second part.

The intuition here is pre-composing on the input and post-composition on the output.

Others’ trails could be applied to materials you already have, so you could see a colleague’s associative structures alongside your own, on the same files. Yes, on a wiki, you can add a link to the text yourself…but that link would appear for _everyone._ There’s no notion of _personal_ associative markup.

nLab is to collect the stable bits, organized, hyperlinked, usefully. ​ Such a far-flung structure is highly vulnerable and, once broken, impossible to restore.

My book is coming out in the UK this week. I thought rather than just begging you to all buy it, I would do a tiny thread about one part of the publishing process—The author photo. Whenever I read a book, I flip to the photo. It isn't to see if the writer is cute or what their cat looks like. It's because a long long time ago, I could barely believe that ordinary humans got to write and publish novels. I became familiar with various author photos—author plus bookshelf, author plus dog, author plus tree. Sometimes they smiled. But not often. Usually, the women were wearing make-up. Often the men were frowning. When we were choosing a photo for Starling Days. I sent off a whole parcel of photographs to @FrancineElena and the @SceptreBooks team. They chose one that I almost hadn't included. It was taken on the beach near Margate at the end of last summer. My hair is wind tangled. I was tired. I was temporarily living with my family again. Some minor health problems had come up. My partner was working very late a lot. I had poured all of myself into the new book. All of this shows in the purple crescents under my eyes. I was a bit worried when they chose it. Surely this wasn't sophisticated enough? My friend, the photographer, offered to retouch it. He wanted to make me look fancier. But my editor @FrancineElena said, she liked the unretouched better. It looked more like me. And after a while, I realized she was right. The person who wrote this book was sometimes tired and frazzled. She wasn't the most glamorous. And I didn't want to be anyone else.

“That is what is strange—that friends, even passionate love, are not my real life unless there is time alone in which to explore and to discover what is happening or has happened. Without the interruptions, nourishing and maddening, this life would become arid. Yet I taste it fully only when I am alone.”

“people that work from home” are not equivalent to “people who are available do your bidding 24/7 just because they work from home” thanks additionally, as someone who has had this happen to them, it’s really shitty to make fun of people who are home “a lot” or to assume they’ll always be there and then get upset when they *do* go out and have appointments and plans just like “a normal person” there have been points in my life where i’ve been home a lot, and had to make myself leave even if i was lonely, and it was critical to my health. more recently, i’ve had more reasons (and energy) to leave. there are so many reasons people stay inside. be nice and understanding
