Folks, I *hope* you have no idea how many horrible contracts I saw when I was researching contracts to create our standard contracts.
(And let me give a shout out to Kristine Kathryn Rusch, without whose wonderful blog I wouldn't have recognized why half those things were horrible. Seriously, if you want to get published, go read that woman's stuff! Caveat emptor applies to publishing too! https://kriswrites.com/)
Concept: Zeroes of Improbability
Like the Nines of Uptime/Availability (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability#%22Nines%22), Zeroes of Improbability are a measure of how improbable an event is, using classical probability.
The Zeroes number for a probability is the number of left-sided zeroes in the probability when presented as a decimal <= 1:
1.0: zero zeroes
0.9: 1 zero
0.0000000001: 10 zeroes of improbability
How to Do Nothing, by Jenny Odell
“...the “nothing” that I propose is only nothing from the point of view of capitalist productivity”
“...question what we currently perceive as productive.”
re: forza horizon 4
i'll say it one more time for the people in the back:
Blueprinters, Do Not Make Courses With Fucking Eight Minute Race Times. i have other shit i would rather be doing
Game Designers, Do Not Feature These Courses As Good Examples Of Skilled Course Layout Work. you should know better
re: forza horizon 4
also, shoutouts to the thing that happens every few races where a car with absurd top speed and acceleration starts in first place so by the time you claim second place they're already 5s ahead and gaining
re: forza horizon 4
advice for course planners: no circuit needs four minute lap times
advice for turn 10: don't pick out these fucking courses and say "yeah these are excellent, let us showcase them as a seasonal event"
re: forza horizon 4
okay, strictly speaking it's a three-minute circuit that you're asked to do twice, but if anything that makes it worse
Reminder!
Non-binary -is- trans!
Non-transitioning trans folks are trans!
The “trans” umbrella includes us, whether we are transitioning or not!
The middle stripe of the trans flag is -for- us!
The idea that it doesn’t include us is -exclusionary!-
(Though anybody can opt out of the label/community if they personally find that important)
