Halt and Catch Fire made the 100 Best Shows of the 21st Century.

This drama began in the early days of the personal computer evolution—before social media, before FOMO, before AI angst—to tell the story of a Quartet of tech pioneers, who looked at those clunky beige desktop boxes and saw kaleidoscopic future. Computers were “the thing that gets us to the thing,” the latter thing being connection, empowerment, even a new kind of art. What began as a familiar tail of business-suite intrigue—“mad men” with processors—became a rich, heartfelt, human exploration of the cost and rewards of work and the necessity of failure. Its portrait of 80s and 90s techno-optimism may seem quaint now, but its rendering of the love of creation remains bleeding-edge. —James Poniewozik

This is what's driven me towards Korean and Chinese serials. I can't watch any American police, mystery, or political shows -- not even the comedic ones -- when we've jumped the shark in real life. It just feels so disappointing.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

Screenshot:

ALSO, it's not just little old ladies sewed the first spacesuits," it's "the women from the Playtex Corp were the only ones who could sew within the tolerances needed." Yes, THAT Playtex Corp, the one who makes bras.
Bra-makers sent us to the moon.
And the cool thing with them was that they did it all WITHOUT PINS, WITHOUT SEAM RIPPING and in ONE TRY. You couldn't use pins or re-sew seams because the spacesuits had to be airtight, so any additional holes in them were NO GOOD. They were also sewing to some STUPID tight tolerances-in our costume shop if you're within an eighth of an inch of being on the line, you're usually good. The Playtex ladies were working on tolerances of 1/32nd of an inch. 1/32nd. AND IN 21 LAYERS OF FABRIC.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Millions of acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the Senate budget reconciliation package (as of 6-14). This would be the largest public lands sell-off in US history, and would bypass traditional safeguards such as public hearings & environmental reviews. 1/x map: tinyurl.com/Lands4SaleMap

A map showing what BLM and USFS lands would be up for sale in the western CONUS.

An image taken of Colorado's Maroon Bells from the still lake before it. In the foreground is the glass lake mirroring the landscape and sky above. A long log on the water reaches out from the left of the frame toward its center. On the other end of the lake is a lush green forest, with the forest stretching up the steep hills that bracket the image. Sitting right in the center of those hills are the Marron Bells - mountain peaks - partially coated in snow, and bathed in the saturated orange glow of the just-rising Sun. Overhead are blue skies with numerous puffy white clouds, some of which are still in the shadow of other mountains.

There is no reason to define the scope of the MVP before you start coding. Slice the project into functional slices and dark-launch each one. After each slice, ask “why is this not ready to launch?” If there is an answer, work on that slice next. If there is no reason, you have your MVP.

Choosing service boundaries based only on team boundaries can avoid some conflicts but it often produces terrible software. Our architecture doesn’t need to be coupled to our executive team’s design skills. We can choose service boundaries that make our software easy to work with & reason about.
