• Trans Rights Are Not Just a Distraction politics trans cw-transphobia

  In the UK and the US1 there has been a sharp spike in transphobic hate by elected officials. In the UK in particular there is a lot of it even from the supposedly “left-wing” party, Labour2 (though nowadays it’s milquetoast at best), and even in the mainstream “left-wing” paper, the UK Guardian (as criticised by the US branch of the same paper).

• Neurodiversity and Rust programming neurodiversity rust accessibility

  To say that Rust is my favourite programming language would be an understatement. Certainly, plenty of people agree with me, given it’s continued top rankings of preference in developer surveys for the past several years (even if some of it might be hype). Read more...

  In my life, I spend probably far too much time examining my own thought processes. In doing so, I have identified strategies that I engage in that allow me to learn and develop effectively, and asynchronously - that is, without necessarily knowing or understanding the prerequisites for a given piece of knowledge and all the associated background.

• So Now This Site Has Real RSS site-meta

  A couple of people have been using janky RSS feeds by accessing <some-base-url>/<some-part-of-the-site>/index.xml. Because, up until now, I have always used relative URLs in everything (for ease of distribution in a folder), this meant the URLs in the RSS feeds would essentially have to be pasted on the end of one of my hosting locations.

• On Singularity philosophy politics transhumanism futurism

  One of the defining concepts of transhumanist philosophical discussion is the notion of a Singularity. The meaning of this term, in common parlance, has come to be associated with one primary notion - an AI superintelligence exponentially improving itself and technology, either to technological utopia or skynet death machine scenario, depending on various factors or whoever happens to be discussing it.

• Introduction to Transhumanism philosophy transhumanism politics

  It is fairly common for people to ask the question, “what is transhumanism?”, especially to me as a transhumanist. And it can be difficult to answer for a lot of people, and more difficult when there are conflicting definitions and an awful number of people who think transhumanism is as simple as sucking up to techbro billionaires who have suborned the idea of more general futurism (as you can tell, I have contempt for this attitude and consider it a horrific stifling of appreciation for the liberatory potential of transhumanist movements).

• Equipment food cooking

  One of the most important things in making food is the tools needed to do so. While not having access to a proper kitchen might at first seem to make thinking about this pointless, the opposite is in fact true - it means you need to think more about both what equipment you have and what equipment you can get that you can use within your accommodations.
