Godot is ditching its visual scripting, which is a bummer. Their blog post about it is full of pretty fundamental misunderstandings of why and where that feature is desirable, though, which makes a pretty good case for them not being the ones to do ithttps://t.co/yTBxlot5dV— Joe Wintergreen (@joewintergreen) August 23, 2022

counterpoint: politics & culture are also like this(if you don't believe me, try hanging out with trotskyists or gunpla enthusiasts)everything looks simple from the outside, because the signals that escape communities are simple (and misleading). https://t.co/5hVriMV24e— 𒀭𒂗𒆠 Psychotronic Tsundoku Infohazard (@enkiv2) August 25, 2022
to the degree that this is true of politics or culture, it is also true of tech.

random thought... unlike politics/culture topics, high-tech industries are really hard to understand from the outside in any way other than financial, because you can't even see the 90% of the iceberg within which crucial details are buried, even if you're smart enough to learn— Venkatesh Rao (@vgr) August 25, 2022

<계약직 신>은 결국 정상성 규범과, 당연하게 받아들여지는 질서와, 우리의 인식 이전에 있는 틀에 대한 이야기입니다(제국주의와 식민지와 주변부에 대한 이야기가 될 수도 있고, 정신병과 신경다양성에 대한 이야기일 수도 있고, 더 나아가 무대 자체는 다분히 마르키온적인데, 그런데 그런 것들은 일단 넘어가도록 하겠습니다). 로안의 기억-덮어쓰기, 테네브로즈의 전두엽 절제, 메기도의 (죽여 달라는 요구와, 그에 따른) 망각은 교집합인 부분이 있는 벤 다이어그램 관계를 이루고 있습니다. 공통적으로 궤를 같이하는 부분이 있음에도 불구하고 이 넷은 동치로 놓일 수 없고, 동치로 놓일 수 없음에도 불구하고 어떤 문제의식을 여전히 공유합니다. 제가 <수정 요새>를 쓰면서 문학정신 1992년도 7·8월호를 다시 들춰봤다는 사실을 말하려 합니다. 왜냐하면 140화까지 쓰고서야, 그제야, 이 글이 모더니즘이 아니라 포스트모더니즘의 논리 아래 직조되었음을 깨달았기 때문입니다(방법론뿐만 아니라 내적으로도 어느 정도는 포스트모던인데, 위에 말했다시피 이 글에서 논하기엔 시기상조이므로 건너뛰겠습니다). 따지고 보면 이 글은 언제나 패러디와 혼성모방으로 이루어진 메타텍스트였고, 스스로도 그 점을 계속 감안하면서 써 왔는데(고비 사막의 여섯 도시를 대륙에 세우고, <El Critico>를 인용하고, <크리스털 세계>의 공간을 빌리고, 에픽 판타지에서나 볼 법한 신화와 근대를, 뉴위어드-SF적 외삽을, 그리고 키치/컨템포러리의 요소들을, 모더니즘 텍스트마저 의도적으로 접붙인 것처럼) 어째서 이게 포스트모더니즘이라는 생각을 하지 않았는지는 다소 의아하게 느껴집니다. 아마도 줄곧 스스로를 속이고 있었기 때문이겠지요. 2021년의 이 시점에 포스트모더니즘을 소환한 다음 그걸 재료로 뭘 하려 하다니 참 우스운 일입니다. 문학정신 1992년도 7·8월호의 맥락에서 생각하더라도, 이인화는 자신의 첫 번째 작품과 그게 빚어낸 논란보다도 박근혜 게이트로 더 유명한 사람이 되고 말았지 않습니까? 포스트모더니즘은 이론장에서도 유행이 지났고, 애당초 문예와, 이론과, 문예이론 모두가 유행이 지나버린 이 시대에(심지어 정치신학과 메시아적 종말론은 한국 땅의 이야기조차 아니죠), 저는 도대체 문피아에서 무엇을 쓰고 있는 것일까요? 어쨌거나 참으로 시대착오적인 일을 하고 있습니다(1930년, 혹은 1950년에나 했으면 딱 좋았을 이야기를 60-70년대의 방법론으로 2020년에 쓰고 있는 겁니다). 그리고 그 착오가 <계약직 신>을 최종적으로 완성시키는 것이겠지요. 물론 이 글에서 그러한 맥락을 탈각시키더라도 고전 비극과 서사는 남게 될 것입니다.

I know it's not exactly a massive step separate from Let's Plays, but it's still absolutely wild to me that Twitch streamers were just hanging out and watching TV all day and it was called "the meta" and not, "a crime that will obviously backfire very soon."— Keith Ballard 🔜 PAX 🔜 MFF (@SebastianSB) August 16, 2022
I know it's messy. I've argued that LPs aren't even Fair Use despite there being obvious incentive for me to argue that they are. I think my job is less legally protected and more a thing that the industry collectively decided to keep.

it'd be fun to do a remake of the first level of deus ex but based on actual liberty island rather than on their limited recreation of liberty island at the time. this image is a fun mix of "completely different from deus ex" and "hey that's where harley filben stands" pic.twitter.com/Gg6WIWoK9n— Joe Wintergreen (@joewintergreen) August 19, 2022

As a retired software engineer - Software complexity grows during development until you hit a critical point where nearly everything works, then if you are allowed by management to keep going, it will get simpler and simpler as you refactor based on what you've learned during development until everything actually does work. Unfortunately, management rarely allows you to keep going much past that complexity peak because it's close enough to ship.
"Supply chain issues". Wow, that one turned out to be more prescient than even he could have predicted. Great talk.
Another parallel is in the shipbuilding industry. In 2000 Swan Hunter cot a contract to build two Bay class landing ships for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. The yard hadn't built a ship in years, so a lot of the knowledge of how to build these ships had been lost. Costs went through the roof, the yard went bust and the second vessel was transferred to BAe systems at Govan for completion.
