Was re-reading, the _Story of Mel_ the Real Programmer (catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-) and saw the line —

“If a program can't rewrite its own code”,
he (mel) asked, “what good is it?”

And was reminded of the optization critique of _uxn_. @neauoire can you share a reference to that argument against code that can do self-alteration and the technical description a friend of yours gave?

f(x,y) = ((((23 ^ y) / (x - 10)) + ((~y) * (~x))) & (-((y % 1) | (19 & y)))) % 11

Bert Hubert created #googerteller, a small programme which sonifies the data collected by #Google while we browse online.

github.com/berthubert/googerte

So far, it only works on #Linux, but it's a really quick compile, so have a go at it:

so to imagine the whole problem with "cleaning up" the environment

lets say the planet is a swimming pool, and there's someone pissing and shitting in it

sure, cleaning the pool is a good idea

but shouldn't we kick out the guy who's pissing and shitting in the pool before that?

“That is to say, cyborgs [snip] raise all the questions of histories, politics,and ethics that dogs require.” (P.21) thus Haraway positions _The Companion Animal Manifesto_ as a super set of the Cyborg Manifesto.

“To do biology, with any kind of fidelity, the practitioner _must_ tell a story, _must_ get the facts, _must_ have the heart to stay hungry for the truth and to abandon a favourite story , a favourite fact, shown to be somehow off the mark.”
