  1. Archival Directive 00-Sigma: The Shelf-Stalker doesn't know you're there. That's what makes it worse. It isn't watching you. It isn't hunting you. The pile just looks exactly like a pile — until you reach in. You were never meant to be here. The room just hasn't told you yet.

  2. Design Principles M-3: The Shelf-Stalker has no tell. No growl. No posture shift. Nothing that says "this one is different."
    That's not an oversight in the design. That's the design.
    The most dangerous thing in the room is the one that looks like it belongs there.

  7. Apple autocorrect: I have never and will never use the word "Shiftiness." I often use the word "shittiness," however.

  8. "But after a dramatic pause, the computer flashed a bunch of red exes and a message: THE PLAY IS NOT VALID. Cam threw his hands behind his head in disbelief." —Stefan Fatsis for Defector

  9. While we're talking of #math #lexicon, do fractions in the form (1+n)/n (with n nonzero integer) or their reciprocals n/(1+n) (with n ≠ 1) have a name? I have a feeling that they appear freuently enough that they should deserve a name (I don't think I've ever read or heard them be called one in any language in which I've read math-related literature, though, so maybe they just don't).

  10. #math #lexicon question (sorry, I studied these things in Italian, so I don't know the English term). How do you call a sequence or series whose terms have alternating signs *but only after a few terms*?

    Think something like
    1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -1 1 -1 1 -1 ...

  11. Vandaag kick-off "Special Interest Group Common Lexicon for Education" met een praktische manier om naar termen en definities in het onderwijs te kijken. Gecharmeerd over de opzet met "archetypes" en "definitiebouwsteentjes".

  17. #USA #vocabulary #Lexicon #Amerika 🤣🤣🤣 No wonder #Starmer feels at home there. His #Parliamentary history built on a tissue of lies. Llb (Law, nor exactly top drawer). Only one of many Deputy (i.e. Second) Attorney General. Yes, I know 'good' on Human Rights but I sense more a chancer than ethically +ve. My Westminster Mole says, 'not very good'.

  24. Good to see many different types of blogs powered by atproto. Here is one using SvelteKit 5 and whtwnd lexicons. It may not show in Bluesky yet Thanks @afaik.fyi for all the steps to get started. Have to give it a try soon #atproto #blog #bluesky #atprotodev #svelte #whtwnd #lexicon #svelte5

  25. Nachdem sich herausgestellt hat, dass #Lexicon seine Kunden mit dem #MX400 Effektgerät quasi verarscht hat, weil dieses #Quadrophonie-#Surround-#Reverb angeblich kann aber am Ende einfach nix dergleichen kann…

    … muss wohl der Eigenbau her. Hier ein schon länger zurückliegender Ansatz in #VCVrack: #Quadro verstehe ich dabei konzeptionell als 4x #Stereo – nicht wie die meisten als 2x Stereo.

    Wenn man in der Mitte sitzt, kann man sich immer um 90° drehen und so ergeben sich vier Stereo-Paare.

    Wenn ich das nun mit #Impulsantworten echt-stereo mache, z.B. den #Bricasti #M7, und weil der #Convolver von #RackPro nur 2 Kanäle kann anstatt 4 wie #irLV2… brauche ich schon 8 IR-Convolver, um weiterzukommen.

    Vielleicht doch im #ArdourMixer probieren mit LV2 Plugins? Könnte allerdings zu Routing-Unübersichtlichkeit führen.

  26. 📢New Publication Alert!

    📚 Explore the linguistic treasure trove of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ́t. Giuliano Castagna delves into this endangered language, preserving its rich #proverbs and #idioms for future generations.

    This book explores the rich paremiological heritage of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ̄́t, an endangered pre-literate language belonging to the Modern #SouthArabian sub-branch of #Semitic, spoken by an ever-decreasing number of people in the #Dhofar governorate of the Sultanate of Oman.

    Reflecting the historical value of #proverbs and #idiomatic expression within the documentation of a language, Giuliano Castagna analyses a sizeable share of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ̄́t #proverbs, sayings and idioms from #Arabic-language publications, as well as hitherto unpublished expressions that reveal undocumented features in the domains of #lexicon, #phonetics, #phonology and #morphology.
