I just listened to David bowie's 1997 "Earthling" album, is this where dubstep came from? in c/music@lemmy.world
[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 54 minutes ago

It always sounded more like classic Drum n Bass to me.

Coming out just a little later was Ed Rush and Optical's album "Wormhole," which is just as likely to be an influence.

What resources do you recommend for an adult wishing to relearn math? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I really liked the "Baron's" brand workbooks. I re-did some high school math with those. They explained the concepts and also there were many exercises to do by hand.

Why do people on reddit seem to hate Lemmy/Mbin/other federated link aggregators? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Sounds too much like Threads, the invasive corporate thing which can get fucked. Never going to market for them.

If time were able to get tangled in knots, how do you imagine experiencing the knots would be like? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it makes sense to be walking on top of a thread of time, as if we are separate from time. Our being is inseparable from the thread of time. The fibers in the fabric are our experience, we are the fibers, and we still travel through a one-directional thread, no matter how tangled.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (5 children)

a knot is still a thread. It can still proceed as normal.

Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? October 15 in c/books@lemmy.world
[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

The history book is excellent. It's so interesting to see how society changes over time, and all the power games. Wow, they were violent though.

I have the same design patterns book. It's actually more difficult than the C++ book. But it makes more sense now that I'm using C++ (I tried reading the design patterns book when I was just using JavaScript and it was harder to imagine how to implement the ideas).

Have they discontinued Keychron's optical low profile switches? (sh.itjust.works)
 

These mint and banana low profile optical switches are the perfect switches. They're almost clicky, early tactile bump, and they sound and feel so good. There are no other switches like them (that I've found). But they never seem to be available in the stores anymore.

Maybe the Gateron ones are as good?

Two soldiers declare a fight to the death, and give each other a year to plan. One starts a mercenary troupe, the other starts a domestic terrorism cell.

Meanwhile, a paralyzed billionaire invents robot bodies and becomes a cyborg. He tries to share this technology with disabled people everywhere, but instead his tech becomes a global arms race between those two soldiers.

Story plotting app idea I'm working on (sh.itjust.works)
 

Please tell me if you think this would be useful for you.

I'm working on a story plotting app which focuses on value changes as the basis of the app. For each section of the story (beat, chapter, act) there are value changes (characters getting closer or further from some goal, threat, or other value). And I want to visualise these changes on a graph, so you can see how everybody's fortunes rise and fall.

There will still be the standard components, something similar to index cards to plot out the actual action of each chapter and beat. But the unique addition that I'm bringing here is you can see everybody's changes of fortune, like watching the stock market, or maybe like reading music.

It will be a desktop application (written in python and JavaScript).

So, does anybody think this would be useful to your writing? Are there other things you might want to see added to such a piece of software?

I planned this book for 20 years, spent 4 years researching, writing, editing, and narrating it. The paperback, e-book, and audio versions will be available on October 21!
