It continues to surprise me how strongly ‘rejection of the business expertise triad’ correlates to ‘low expertise in business.’
I mean, it’s one thing that the triad is predictive formally (it comes from actual research testing predictive power), but it also tracks informally.
@davatron5000 @clive yikes sounds like a really rocky patch. Sending good vibes! Great to meet and hang in Brooklyn

Right now I'm using a slightly modified version of this: https://gist.github.com/cmod/5410eae147e4318164258742dd053993
I love this idea of using SQLite and WASM to power my static site search function, but I can't quite figure out how to do it....

Does anyone know of a how-to I can follow?
Riffs feel like a kind of indie web / masto idea
@jsonchan oh. Yes please!
@copim’s Experimental Publishing group is organizing an #ExperimentalBooks online conference "Experimental Books – Re-imagining Scholarly Publishing", taking place on the 20/02, 09/03, & 13/03/2023.
I'll be responding to the keynotes (of whose work I'm a huge fan!) on 13/03 ✨ . Join us online:
https://experimentalbooks.pubpub.org/
"This three-part conference - including talks, roundtables, and workshops - will discuss alternative publishing options for the humanities by showcasing some of the experiments that are currently taking place in the realm of academic book publishing. It aims to inspire authors, publishers, technology developers and others, to (continue to) speculate on new collaborative futures for open humanities research and publication. It also aims to discuss how these book experiments could sit within more standardised or established workflows for print and online book production, dissemination, and preservation."

@andybaio yes! We can search the whole web but not my list of 100 sites in an opml file....
Waiting for someone to make an artisanal search engine that only indexes manually verified websites written by humans. Farm-to-table organic search results, handmade with 100% certified human creativity, like your grandparents told you about.
The second paper that builds on my PhD work & discusses a project collaboration with Dr Karen Di Franco is now also live after a longish publishing process. It's #openaccess, so happy to share: Iterative pasts and linked futures, or a feminist approach to data modeling
The paper outlines key findings from our respective PhDs and how we combined these findings into a new approach we applied in the Digital Archive of Artists' Publishing (https://daap.network), a project initiated by Banner Repeater (London) which also uses #Wikibase.
Here's a new project from me and Nate Kadlac. And we're building it in public, live-streaming our working sessions
I was talking with friends about their climate work and someone asked, “What would it look like if Sisyphus got a promotion?” I can't stop thinking about what that would look like. Would they give him a giant cube? Lots of little boulders? A team of Sisyphii to manage and support, such that he yearned for his simple days as a boulder practitioner?
Updated the airtable of resources for the magic of small databases post here:
@jducoeur ooh looks neat. Reminds me of tiddlywiki.. I'll have a look
