  1. In discussion of social ergonomics, an interlocutor offered the term "ergonomic processing". There are strata of meaning to excavate here.
  2. Machines = singularities, of which a multiplicity of objects are disclosed. What matters is not what machines are but what they do. #MolLaw
  3. The @HighlineNYC would benefit from signage indicating the street number at each exit. Corner street signs not easily visible. @NYCParks
  4. Erlang is machine-oriented not object-oriented: not aping encapsulated interiority, but excorporating messages as Turing tape exteriority.
  5. Specifying that you're looking for local talent in a Craigslist advert greatly increases the number of inquiries from foreign service firms.
  6. Been reading up on data typing schemes in programming languages. Static typing is too nanny-state: offends my libertarian sensibilities.
  7. Resisting temptation to start writing code again, knowing full well that such binges have never ended anywhere near the vicinity of well.
  8. Liberals are not immune to the lure of social Darwinism, as any research that aims to show conservative ideas as throwbacks demonstrates.
  9. If, reading big words, you think "those words are there to make me feel small and stupid", you're not doing it right. youtube.com/watch?v=mQZmCJ…
  10. Words are an invitation to receive meaning. A reader may refuse the invite, but have only themselves to blame for denying themselves entry.
  11. If, reading a sentence full of big words, you think "those words are only there to hide a lack of meaning", you're not doing it right.
  12. If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Maybe it's just poorly adapted.
  13. "Never enough time" bespeaks gluttony. The fortunate swim in time; the rest drown in it. Yet so many bemoan healthy portions as inadequate.
  14. Words exist for a purpose: to convey ideas. A demand that others only use simple language is a demand that they only have simple ideas.
  15. Be wary of argumentum ad simplicianum, or the "makes me think hard so must be wrong" fallacy.
  16. If another's words are unclear, you can ask for more clarity, rather than infer evidence of absent meaning from absence of evident meaning.
  17. In physical ergonomics, RSI = Repetitive Stress Injury. In social ergonomics, RSI = Reductive Story Impairment.
  18. The search-and-connect paradigm of online dating fails basic social ergonomics: human courtship is not a Where's Waldo activity book.
  19. Chains and Locals: A Tale of Two Cities okcupid.com/profile/phenom… #la #sf #business #government
  20. Expressing complex thoughts is not a cover for inadequacy if complex thinking itself is the inadequacy.
