    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Let us start with the idea of liking. What we do as artists, in the realm of building, really depends on what we like. What society builds depends on ideas that are shared about what people like. But contemporary ideas of what is likable are extremely confused. It is a current dogma that you may like what you wish, and that it is an essential part of democratic freedom to like whatever you decide to like. This occurs at a time when the mass media have taken over our ideas of what is likable to an extent unknown in human history. Thus if one were pessimistic, one might even say that there is very little authentic liking in our time. What people like can often not be trusted, because it does not come from the heart.

On the other hand, real liking, which does come from the heart, is profoundly linked to the idea of life in things. Liking something from the heart means that it makes us more whole in ourselves. It has a healing effect on us. It makes us more human. It even increase the life in us. Further, I believe that this liking from the heart is connected to perception of real structures in the world, that it goes to the very root of the way things are, and that it is the only way in which we can see structures as they really are.

As we begin to appreciate this liking from the heart, we shall find out a number of important things about it.

    <link>https://meaningness.com/atomized-mode</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The previous, subcultural mode failed because individual subcultures did not provide enough breadth or depth of meaning; and because cliquish subsocieties made it too difficult to access the narrow meaningness they hoarded.
The global internet exploded that. Everything is equally available everywhere—which is fabulous! Now, there are no boundaries, so bits of culture float free. Unfortunately, with no binding contexts, nothing makes sense. Meanings arrive as bite-sized morsels in a jumbled stream, like sushi flowing past on a conveyer belt, or brilliant shards of colored glass in a kaleidoscope.
With no urge for context to make culture understandable, everything is equally appealing everywhere. The atomized mode returns to the universalism of the countercultural mode—but by default, rather than design. In the 1960s, for the first time, everyone in an American generation listened to the same music, regardless of genre—as an expression of solidarity. Now, everyone in the world listens to the same music, regardless of genre, again—just because it’s trending on YouTube.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The question of how and what we (ought to) read is political for me in this sense: If we believe in democracy and equality, why are our aesthetic priorities shaped by an elite minority? Why do we dismiss our engagement with genre works as “love-hate,” “hate-watching,” and “guilty pleasure” when we spend so much time doing it? Why do we refer to these works as “low” or “lite” when they are read by millions more people than the classics? In short, why don’t the numbers matter? Maybe these texts aren’t read much in academia because they don’t require scholars to explain or analyze them: The story we tell ourselves is that they aren’t difficult or ambiguous; they’re self-evident, simplistic even. But maybe that’s just some petty nonsense to justify the need for literary critics?

Your lack of knowledge in these topics doesn’t negate the work you’ve already done.
You know things CS grads don’t.
It’s likely your understanding of the topic is fresher and more complete than a CS grad who hasn’t touched it in years.
Everyone learns things in different orders and at different times, including CS grads.
Some things you will never need to know.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Which brings me to the massive and horrible error in pieces like Ms Turner’s. It's true that many of us need to work both as a way of self-development and of feeling useful. But it is a horrible non sequitur to infer from this that capitalist labour is necessary to achieve these aims. Quite the opposite: even the better types of such labour can thwart them. People need capitalist jobs for the money - and very often not for any other reason. The beauty of retirement is that it offers an escape from this baleful aspect of capitalism.

And this is what I find depressing about pieces like Ms Turner’s. In failing to see even the possibility that work can be fulfilling outside the capitalist sphere, they assume that capitalist labour is inevitable, unavoidable and unreformable. But it ain’t necessarily so.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The prejudice against experience of human life as continuous with other forms of animal life is the result of a distinct local history: the same local history that for so long insisted on an ethnographically anomalous binary gender distinction between male and female. Throughout this history, of the thriving and eventual suppression of the possibility of both trans-gender and trans-species identity, trans-race identity was not an issue, as race had not yet been invented. And yet, at the present moment, in the hyper-anomalous United States, a claim of trans-race identity seems to be much more audacious than a comparable claim of transgender identity, as it appears to bridge a vast ontological gap that in the case of gender has been broken down over the past few decades. It is the legacy of American anti-Black racism that makes the gap appear unbridgeable in the case of race. It is a result of the legacy of European anthropocentrism and anti-Indigenism that we don't even notice, for now, the massive, looming issue of our (real) shared identity with the rest of the living world, and the possibility of being inwardly a jaguar or a bear that this opens up.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[5. In “The Consuming Vision,” an essay about novelist Henry James, of all things, Jean-Christophe Agnew argues that the consumerist culture emerging in James’s time was a “world constructed by and for a consuming vision,” an “imagined world … in which imagination itself strives to gild, glaze, and ultimately commodify its objects.” This consuming vision becomes hegemonic in a world that comes to be seen as made entirely of commodities. “What modern consumer culture produces,” Agnew argues, “is not so much a way of being as a way of seeing — a way best characterized as visually acquisitive. In short, modern consumer culture holds up the cognitive appetite as the model and engine of its reproductive process.”

Agnew points out that the churn of markets assures that these sorts of characteristics are never stable in any given commodity or experience. Consumerism posits such meanings as free-floating, redeployable, highly contingent and not intrinsic to a good’s use value. (Soap might make me objectively clean, but will it make me feel clean, which is ultimately more important?)

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[But what came as a surprise to us was the no legitimate dependency discourse, which meant that there was no legitimate way to be dependent on another. Dependency meant not just weakness but something more negative than that – as a symptom of a desire to shirk responsibility for one’s own failings. The no legitimate dependency discourse was constituted of a mix of self-blame and ‘othering’ (blaming others) and our suggestion is that this reflects discursive aspects of neoliberalism which are internalised as though they were individual characteristics or points of view.

Anyway, only much later did I realize that these crises were not something to get agitated about but that they were the normal way of working. Everybody has them. Well, maybe it is not as simple as that. There are people who work with more confidence and others who stumble from crisis to crisis. It was somewhere in-between.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Progress in Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) will soon allow a large number of individuals to have access to their fully sequenced genome. This represents a historical breakthrough, enabling momentous medical and societal advances. However, the very same progress also amplifies a number of ethical and privacy concerns stemming from the unprecedented sensitivity of genomic information. 
This paper presents an exploratory ethnographic study of users' perception of privacy and ethical issues with WGS, as well as their attitude toward different WGS programs. We report on a series of semi-structured interviews, involving 16 participants, and analyze the results both quantitatively and qualitatively. Our analysis shows that users exhibit common trust concerns and fear of discrimination, and demand to retain strict control over their genetic information. Finally, we highlight the need for further research in the area and follow-up studies that build on our initial findings.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Post-literacy will not mean the end of knowledge, but only the end of the system, in place for the past 600 years or so, of knowledge production and dissemination. In its place, if we are fortunate, there will be new forms of learning, perhaps some of which will return to older, pre-Gutenbergian praxis. After all, the book not only helped knowledge to expand, it also served as a crutch, and weakened our discipline for memorization and other forms of dematerialized mastery. Perhaps, now free of our bulky prostheses, we will return to forgotten exercises of the ars memoriae.

Ideally, also, mastery will be coupled with creative appropriation, that is to say with what is too easily set off to the side as satire. This coupling would also be the solution to a dilemma, one that haunts a particular species of restless soul, for which the straightfaced telling of what is the case could never be enough, and least of all now, when machines can do the telling for us.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The crux of Hannah and Dan's piece seems to me to be that when attempting to work in an interdisciplinary space, as in the digital humanities (but this is no less true of computational social science, computational journalism, etc.), it's important to have representatives from both disciplines at the get-go. I agree that this is a great ideal. It's one that I occasionally have when the stars align, when I already have trust in a colleague from another discipline and impromptu conversations naturally lead to formal collaboration. Creating a new collaboration across disciplines ex nihilo, however, is much more difficult (and risky when that trust is absent), but I don't think those difficulties of direct collaboration should prevent us from engaging together in other ways. Interdisciplinary collaboration in my mind is much bigger than working together on a single paper; it's an ongoing conversation involving exactly what we're seeing here – publication, critique, and sowing the seeds of new work together. By keeping our publications and much of the conversation surrounding it in the public sphere, we draw on a variety of perspectives (e.g., critiques from people not only in literary studies but from a wide range of theoretical camps), which can help us not only improve our work, but provide a tangible archive of our progress.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What factors impact the comprehensibility of code? Previous research suggests that expectation-congruent programs should take less time to understand and be less prone to errors. We present an experiment in which participants with programming experience predict the exact output of ten small Python programs. We use subtle differences between program versions to demonstrate that seemingly insignificant notational changes can have profound effects on correctness and response times. Our results show that experience increases performance in most cases, but may hurt performance significantly when underlying assumptions about related code statements are violated.

The wise ruler provides many opportunities for failure for his populace.”)*** But why are we regulating the economy by throwing people out of work? (Why isn’t there a Jobs Guarantee, for example?) That’s not to say that people don’t make mistakes; I’ve made a ton! But “our” society makes the penalties for failure vicious, brutal, and deadly. Losing your job shouldn’t mean the loss of your house, your health, or your life — and in too many cases, it does. Hopefully, some of the advice above can mitigate, at least. I know, I know, Job’s comforters….

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["This one portrait turned my myopic gaze from a genre of scientific writing in early black print culture to the whole history of Afro-Native peoples and relations in the nineteenth century, a history that is too often wholly neglected or subsumed under the rubric of African American history and literature (I had been myself guilty of doing as much in my work on Lewis). My encounter with this one singular image not only enriched my research on Lewis by foregrounding his identity as a black-Native American, but it also allowed me to "see" ethnology in a whole new light. I realized that my understanding of Lewis's text as a black ethnology did not adequately capture the complexities and real political aims of the text. It might, I think now, be more fruitful to think of it as an Afro-Native ethnology. Indeed, in the 1844 edition of Light and Truth, the preface by the committee of colored gentlemen packages the tract as an Afro-Native ethnology by an Afro-Native man: "The author of this compilation has been some years in gathering this information. He is a descendent of the two races he so ably vindicates." What became clear to me is that Lewis was interested in ethnology because it provided him with a powerful language with which to articulate the shared descent of African and Native peoples. The text insists on other commonalities as well, namely a shared history of subjection at the hands of the United States government. As a discourse that had been used to justify the exploitation of black labor and dispossess Indians from their land, ethnology was deeply implicated in the subjection of both African American and American Indian communities. This last realization enabled by Lewis's portrait was perhaps the most surprising and startling to me. While I had always assumed this counter-archive of ethnology had been written to challenge the American school of ethnology's pro-slavery arguments, I realized that black and Afro-Native ethnologists like Lewis were also likely producing these texts as responses to the U.S. government's production of ethnological knowledge to justify Native American removal and extermination. In Light and Truth, ethnology is transformed from a science of subjugation to a science of Afro-Native alliance. In opposition to the various scientific "proofs" of black and Indian inferiority that populated dominant ethnological discourses, Lewis uses ethnology to imagine new forms of solidarity and to forge models of mixed-race identity in America."]]></description>

This is one of the reasons that estimates are so hard, and why we get them wrong so often. We look at a task that seems easy and estimate it on that basis, only to find that writing down the procedure is actually quite intricate. We blow the estimate because we estimate the wrong thing."]]></description>

But we the reader can also note that this speaker offers no stronger criticism, and is not willing to directly contradict the offending claim. After all, instead of calling someone a “self-styled visionary,” you might say “he calls himself a visionary, but he’s not; he hasn’t has a vision in years.”'

These are all just things that I have that make me happy, so maybe they’ll help you find that great place to work. Because of all these reasons and probably some others I’ll think of after publishing this post, thoughtbot has my heart. Barring anything very unexpected, and until I’ve gotten sick of design, you’ll find me here at my desk inside thoughtbot HQ. I can only hope you have the same luxury or soon find a place that makes you just as happy."

    <link>http://blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2010/05/is-complexity-math-or-science.html</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Computational Complexity studies the power and limitations of efficient computation. So is efficient computation purely an abstract mathematical object or is it trying to model a real world phenomenon? I would argue the latter. Efficient computation occurs not just in computers but in biological systems, physical systems, chemical systems, economic systems and much more. Physics focuses on the "what", computational complexity on the "how"."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Both McLuhan and Heidegger are unequivocally pessimistic about technological change. I wonder if it’s not possible to do further damage to their ideas by blurring their warnings together. I wonder if McLuhan isn’t also talking about reframing thought as a reified and externalized storehouse of “raw material”. Certainly, when you watch digital addicts trying to function in the physical world, you recognize their discomfort with the body (boring!); but also their discomfort with the mind as private, internal, and sacred (even more boring!). The mass Gnosticism of the internet seems more like yearning for release from body and soul. Nevertheless, we remain nailed in place."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["They love to make it sound like making articles available free online is what killed newspapers. After all, then the problem is freeloading readers, news aggregators, and blogs. But in the case of classifieds, newspapers are getting trounced by a product that’s pretty much better and more efficient in every way, which casts them in a much less sympathetic light. Which just underscores the point that the industry needs to redouble its efforts to find a new model, rather than preserving an old one that was bloated and inefficient in many ways."

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I have watched as the language of personal development—the building of inner strength and vision—has taken over in the fashionable process known as ‘management development’. Team building is now the experience of value in the management development tool-shed: an activity based on suffering together to achieve self-discovery and group resourcefulness in the face of artificially created adversity .
The old-fashioned idea that people need supervision to assist them, especially to learn how to do a job when they enter a new work situation, is now rejected. ... We are expected to take [people's] assumption of personal competence at face value.
Mastery of a trade or profession through apprenticeship has also been fudged by the theory that all learning can be broken down into a series of unit standards; and that competence means acquiring a pass mark in sufficient units of learning to be awarded a certificate."

If only... I had published more.  If only... I had taken that job instead of that other one.  If only... I was better at writing cover letters.  If only... my interests were more marketable.  If only, if only, if only.

I feel like I was crippled, and that I still struggle with the effects of that now. 

What kills me, particularly, is that the experience of that career trauma is what has made it so challenging to move on.  In some essential way I feel damaged, and it carries over into all of my subsequent efforts to remake myself and my career.  An unfriendly market becomes a personal career failure becomes a personal failure, period."

The point is to enable a constructive kind of academic citizenship, rather than the usual dichotomy of either apathy or total war. Once they grasp the contours of what we're up against, they're in a position to craft actual solutions, and to defend their own interests more effectively. I want that to happen, since I can't help but think that we're smarter together than separately."
