I skipped last week and don't remember which things I covered in last vs this week so will not add much in this page.
1 Experiments
- I have been thinking a little about interactive fiction and seeing if I can incorporate ideas from it in my writings. This also goes back to something I hinted some time back in journal. I found a book on the topic so will be continuing with that before giving this thread a set of actionables.
2 Readings/Explorations
- Empathy and subjective experience in programming languages
- Found a nice library libsoundio for working with audio devices.
3 Programming
Commits for week 42-2019 and 4 previous weeks.
4 Media
- Finished Neuromancer.
- Finished Ernest Hemingway on Writing.
- Do we possess our possessions or do they possess us? | Aeon Ideas. I feel that essentialism is pretty common and drives a lot of what we all do. A lot of arguments about true value of entities that I have had with many of my acquaintances miss out on this piece as if this is obviously not involved (irrational!) even when it is obviously involved.
