We had a secret Santa event at a company a couple of decades ago. You could ask any person to relinquish their unwrapped gift in exchange for yours.
One person asked the Group Director for an exchange.
The room fell silent.
The exchange was made. Everybody relaxed.
This is a toot about someone who might not be good at hierarchy and/or slightly divergent. š
Hierarchies š©... One of the biggest recurring time-consuming issues I sometimes encounter is making decisions about _where_ to put some (new or exisiting) code/feature, i.e. in which package, new or existing, considering: functional fit (topic), structural fit (pre-existing data format conventions with the rest of a package), and if possible, not introducing new dependencies as a result of new feature... Sometimes these three aspects are mutually blocking each other and it's so time consuming to figure out a solution...
I've got very similar issues with most other static hierarchies (e.g. directory-based file systems, hierarchical websearch directories etc.) and why I think tag-based systems (with intersection/union/negation ops, not just single categories) are a superior way to organize large collections of knowledge (counting source code here too as a form of encoded knowledge). It's also one of the reasons I've been experimenting with and building tools with completely flat collections/graphs and then use queries & transclusion to assemble/extract/select functionality on demand... Need to prepare some screen recordings to share more of those tools/experiments...
We'll all get a lot more out of our events when we practice wirearchy, not hierarchy. I encourage you to join me.

Hype for the Future 25H: Does Heteronormativity Result in Capitalism?
Technically, no, heteronormativity does not result in capitalism, nor does the situation occur vice versa. However, if capitalism is not caused by heteronormativity, then what causes it? There could be a few different answers, but perhaps the most commonly recognized one would just be that patriarchy forces traditional gender roles to be enforced rigidly, and since masculinity is associated with dominance and femininity with submission, the masculine energy causes the economic model of the [ā¦]Sony Lands Movie Rights to James Islingtonās āHierarchyā Fantasy Book Series (Exclusive)

your #podcast for what feels like the end times
"How do we live in a world that might be ending? By preparing to survive that end and by working to prevent it. Live Like the World is Dying features interviews with people who think about how to prepare for and survive crises."
About the Host:
"Margaret Killjoy is an author, musician, crafter, and general jack of all trades. She has spent most of her adult life on the road, but is currently nestled into the #Appalachian mountains. Politically, she is an #anarchist: she believes that society would be better off without systems of #hierarchy and #oppression such as the state, #capitalism, #WhiteSupremacy, #patriarchy, and the like. She is a trans woman and her pronouns are she/her, but she also believes in the abolition of gendered language and has no problem with people using the singular 'they' to refer to her."

Totally unsurprising that #men are making a beeline to #religion
They want the same social position that their ancestors took for granted for Millenia
Fuck that!

"The earth generates enough food and enough resources for everyone. But the powerful and the wealthy want to profit off this abundance, so they make food scarce for most people around the globe so they can charge money for it. Itās important to remember that hunger is āman-made.ā Hunger is caused by inequality, discrimination, greed, and hoarding. Iām not the first to say this ā scholars have been making this claim for over 100 years. They explain that the wealthy want to pay low wages to keep their profits high. So, they pay people just enough to keep people desperate where they will take the minimum amount of salary just so they can buy bread and feed their kids. This dynamic keeps people poor and hungry and fattens the pockets of the wealthy."

The uproar over Tucker Carlsonās interview with white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes is NOT about principled rejection of the #brOligarch #hierarchy, of violent #patriarchy, #whiteNationalism, and #Christofascist #theocracy ā NO!, itās about saying the quiet part out loud, deviating from the gaslighting strategy of polite white supremacy.

Relief generation (Geomorphology šļø)
A relief generation is a set of landforms within a larger landform assembly that can be distinguished by their shape, age, scale and process that created them. A relief generation is typically nested within a larger and older generation and host itself younger and smaller generations. The concept was coined by Julius BĆ¼del in 1955. == References...
