It's often said that Williams learned to sketch upside down, while reaching across the table, in order to avoid upsetting potential white clients who might feel uncomfortable sitting next to him.
…
In an essay called "I Am a Negro," published in 1937, he wrote that his aim was to amaze those potential clients within a few minutes of meeting them so that they would focus more on his drawing race. This is a subtle distinction but a crucial one. It suggests an architect who had not only come to terms with the fact that he'd always be at a certain remove from his own work but had turned that distance into an advantage—into a kind of parlor trick.

Bjarke Ingel's firm has a proposal that sounds like it will essentially undo a terrible Robert Moses segregating structure. And the underground parking thing seems to be something this guy just does on every project.

Planes can really speed past bullets they've shot and get hit by them. It's not just a video game thing!

I like to imagine a medieval choir is at the door.

This Rust feature is very JavaScript. And one of the good parts of JavaScript, too.

5-6-4-5-5-5 earlier today. Was on track to do more in the first set, but a guy walked by and farted, and I lost my concentration.

When I see a group of dudes with beards, I imagine them wearing helmets and singing about mining for gold.

I feel like I should say: the guy has been doing interesting new things lately (including looking at books quietly on his own), projects are moving along, things have been going well at work, and I was very satisfied with how the last D&D game went.
I don't know exactly why I don't write as much about things going well for me. Perhaps it's that I write in part to work things out, and there's nothing to work out about 👍 situations.
But this article about the creators of Dwarf Fortress sorta reminded me that I should. They're making a living and have achieved the indie game designer dream (the artistic part at least) but do not make enough to cover the health scares they're having. Again, this would not be an issue at all under healthcare systems like those in Korea or much or Europe.
I almost said "it's a completely unnecessary hazard" but that would trivialize how entrenched the forces that create this situation are. -
