Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?

It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

Thoughts, @rasteri @polpo @TechTangents @lazygamereviews @foone ??

I am pretty sure you all already know, but it's actually possible to have `requires` clauses at the end of a function declaration. Just like any other attribute.

This makes usage of ad-hoc requirements much more readable and greatly reduces the pressure to introduce custom concepts.

Why are so many teaching the front syntax instead of the tail syntax?

It is not precision but versatility in the conceptual apparatus that makes it possible to attain clarity. … Bohr underlined that quantum theory forms a wonderful example of how one may have understood something with perfect clarity but nevertheless realize that one can only talk of it in similes and images. The similes in this case are the concepts ‘wave’ and ‘particle’, which do not entirely represent reality. However, they are the only concepts we have for approaching the actual state of affairs. We cannot avoid contradictory concepts if we are to get closer to reality. On the other hand we must not ignore the fact that the innermost essence of reality is uniform, a uniformity that is impossible to express in our everyday language.

#Learning about different #IdentityLabels is more than just discovering a #category of #people who are "out there" somewhere. It is that, and that is important as well, for appreciating the vast and intricate #diversity of our species and for holding #solidarity in #liberation struggles. But it's also about #understanding new lenses to view our own selves and #experiences through, and how new #concepts #apply or don't in our own #lives. That's #subversive to #cisheteronormativity.

Continued thread
Philosophy begins with the understanding that you cannot just observe or experience and then report what you see, because how you conceptualize and symbolize alters experience. On the other hand, it's also clear that you cannot conceptualize and symbolize any way you want to. Experience has what is given there, and what is lived has something to do with that. So a relationship between the two has to be understood.
