I found this (super short) episode inspiring, on the same topic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5n6BYw5VU7cLipoRKE1COU (The Poetic Internet, with Kristoffer Tjalve)

It's only a paradox under the widespread myth that reason and feelings are opposites. People who know their science understand that all rational thought is grounded on emotion and deep-rooted feelings.

Oh it's the guy from special.fish and html.energy. I love everything he's up to.

Are there others?

More from his site, but I think several of these are 404s now: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=elliot.computer

I was. It was a glorious time.

Just came here to say that I love this

Yeah like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UztCDH2xuQ

This is such an excellent album.

Was happy to find that the person behind it Sam Lavigne, one of the people behind Stupid Hackathon.

20 year old article? still fantastic content. wow.

I love the simplicity in this statement: "So average risk of death doubles in 8 years."

The statement is a nieve one to say the least. While the discussion revolves around math and y axis etc, here is the simple math: due to covid I have 12-18 months left before I die.

What is the math that leads you to saying 12-18 months?

A particular medication I am on has a life expectancy of that time frame.

I like how I was downvoted here by some number crunchers for bringing a bit of humanity to the discussion. I guess I should have mentioned something about javascript and an illegal business plan (uber, airbnb etc)

No, it sounds like you're saying that you're older and therefor at higher risk. Just say your age for context.

developer/organizer here. hi! arranging a stupid hackathon is almost too easy, and loads of fun. attendees are usually very forgiving and happy, and if something fails it is stupid and therefor on brand. i make them annually in sweden, and this was year no3. fantastic experience.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately the tech community where I am has shrunk to almost nothing due to the recession, so I don't think there would be enough people joining :(
