  3. A major #update to my #collection of #morphological #matrices worthy to infer #networks:
    a bunch of matrices we generated and reanalysed for a paper by S. Renner, D. Sokoloff, and me dealing with ancestors, hard polytomies and seed plant evolution; depicted not as the usual cladograms (where ancestor-descendant pairs must trigger unsolvable hard trichotomies) but as a "Romerogram" (or spindle graph) that shows #dichotomy as well as #buddingEvolution, i.e., #phylogeny

  8. A newly discovered type of visual cell found in deep-sea #fish larvae that challenges the traditional biological #dichotomy of rod and cone photoreceptors. These cells are specifically adapted to optimize vision in "twilight" or gloom-light conditions found at intermediate #ocean depths.

  9. The dichotomy of businesses being evil while everything good is being fought for by activists, has to be broken

    Whatever activists are fighting for are actually extremely good business models. This needs to become a basis for competition and new-age businesses that overthrow the old monopolies

  10. Here’s a biter: The thing about #dichotomy, if you know, you know it’s pretty frustrating. The key to unlock it is this: The reason #dichotomy is frustrating is because we’re making the #circumstances the deciding factor for the solution. Hence, a solution at one event is the problem at another.

  12. Even MAGA supporters would have their relatives assessed by a qualified doctor if they began to think, act and sound like Donald Trump.

    Yet MAGA continues to defend and stand by Trump’s nonsense and irrational behaviour.

  13. CW: theory, binary, dichotomy

    Like gender, (popular) culture is a spectrum or complex range of possibilities:

    But too much of cultural studies has continued to locate popular culture within two binary normative economies: on the one hand, the popular (as poaching, fragmented, contradictory, bodily, carnivalesque, pleasurable) versus the legitimate (as reified, hierarchical, intellectual, etc.), and, on the other hand, the popular (as stylized, artificial, disruptive, marginal, resisting) versus the mainstream (as naturalized, commonsensical, incorporated, etc.). Even Hall's often repeated warning to approach popular culture as 'the double movement of containment and resistance' has not stopped critics from distributing texts, audiences and reading practices into these dichotomous judgements.

  20. in conclusion: the success of Vizflow was due to the failure of a previous effort. it was only by failing in this previous effort, that Vizflow was able to succeed! :)

  21. When I walked into the kitchen this morning, spouse said, "I saved the most expensive Valentine's present for this morning."

    And he handed me an egg.

    We laughed hard, but it was the morbid laughter of dark times, and though I know that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us," but I really wish none of this were happening.

  22. Was watching silly YouTube shorts last night and there was an absolutely brilliant bit in a skit about criticizing essays in a writing class:

    A: you used "dichotomy" 17 times
    B: it means two of something, you can use it everywhere because you always have two things
    A: I don't...
    B: I have a dichotomy of apples - I ate one and I gave the other to my friend
    A: ...

  23. Here's a piece I wrote some time back to help people better understand Epictetus' distinction between what is up to us and what's not (the dichotomy of control). Published in Medium back when you could read a few articles for free. I've put it in Substack so everyone can now read it for free anytime they like

  24. And this is why truly healthy democracies require more than just a #twopartysystem

    We used to have better in #sask and if we want our province to thrive and be all it can be, we will need more than just a #dichotomy of political choice.

    Our #democracy requires it.

  25. @muxelplexer Hi,
    I can't give an authoritative answer on that, but these are my observations:

    - 0xFF:
    Originally, C had only decimal and octal notation for integers, the latter starting with a leading 0 and the former with 1...9 . The later additions of hexadecimal and binary notations had to modify the *prefix* (for grammar reasons) by inserting a 'x' or a 'b'

    - FFh:
    This is what I grew up with in the 70s. That notation was the common one in assemblers and hardware descriptions.

  28. Done! A painting without orientation (hang it as you wish).

    My process:
    -feel the feelings
    -start painting
    -watch the feelings unfold
    -contemplate when to be done
    -sign it ( this time in 2 places)

    Will post poem on medium later. (Acrylic 15x30x1in on canvas)

  29. Vermisse die Abende mit @derliebwolf, wo wir stundenlang auf der Couch saßen und ein Album nach dem nächsten in sehr guter Lautstärke gehört haben. Dazwischen auch mal unterhalten, aber sehr viel einfach bewusst Musik genossen.
