Read “Production design of “True Detective” – interview with Alex DiGerlando · Pushing Pixels”
Midway through the interview we talk about his work as the production designer on the “Beasts of the Southern Wild”, and then dig deep into the strikingly designed worlds of the first two seasons of “True Detective”.
I loved season one of True Detective.

Between 2012 to 2022, we came to believe that the natural structure for online interaction was for billions of people to all use the same small number of privately-owned social platforms. We’re increasingly realizing now that it was this centralization idea itself that was unnatural. The underlying architecture of the internet already provides a universal platform on which anyone can talk to anyone else about any topic.

These sheets are like regular programs in many ways. Felienne Hermans, a veteran spreadsheet researcher, puts it very simply: Spreadsheets are code. She also goes on to show that they suffer from the same problems as real software.

Bookmarked “The endless uses for an always-on Mac”
I’ve had a Mac running as a server in my house for more than 20 years now, and I have zero regrets. As I detailed five years ago, the specific uses for my always-on Mac have changed numerous times over the decades, but the various Macs that have served the purpose have always made themselves useful.

While git + emacs + org-mode was certainly functional, I never had cause to do anything particular sexy with the setup. In fact, I was hoping this experience would convert me from a fan of subversion to a fan of git, but alas, it only reinforced my appreciation for the simplicity of subversion.
The index cards, on the other hand, were a joy to use. I love that each project is represented by a single card, and that spreading out the cards gives me an overview of all possible tasks to work on:[…]

There are two main types of emails on the internet: plaintext and HTML.

Tools I still like to use:

These fundamental tools are still around because they are the best tools where you are in control of what you are interested in and what you can discover.

Fantastical adds broader Shortcuts support
Flexibits just released Fantastical 3.7.9, which adds a bunch of new Shortcuts actions, including the ability to filter events from a given Calendar Set in a given date range, and the ability to generate a simple schedule for a given day.
Nice! I have a shortcut which syncs up calendar events with agenda items in Things. Now, I can automatically do the following in one shortcut:
- Get all my meetings for today from Fantastical.
- Create or find existing agenda items about them in Things.
- Link the Things agenda item and Fantastical event using Hookmark.
- Start a new session from Things when the meeting is due.
- I’ll write about how I manage deep sessions with Things one day.
