I really appreciate clearly custom websites. My eyes are also quite bad (legally blind.) Nearly ironically, because the site is already created for low vision, it had issues with t…

I don't see what's wrong with that personally. If I pirated someone's software, and then sold it as my own and got caught, just because I sold a bunch of it doesn't mean those peop…

Regarding art, what do you feel about museums? Why would you go see an original instead of simply looking at a jpg. Even if you aren't in the group, there is clearly a group of peo…

I feel like part of the difference is how art vs code is viewed. You could make the argument code is art, though most don't have that stance. Visual art and music tend to be made b…

Curation is a real concern. 'Flooding the market' is bad for everyone, being seen is difficult as is. It's even harder in a slopstorm.

I'm working on a web-based raymarching renderer. I'm hoping to use it to make silly web interactives. It's still early days but it can be found here: https://jesterswilde.dev/rmfw

In it, the author contrasts 无 (Wú) and 有 (Yǒu). For some extra context of that specific contrast, here are a couple excerpts from the first poem of the Dao De Jing. (spacing is min…

The exact same comment I would write. Waitin for generation two of any of this kind of tech.

A lot of the style of images this creates are similar to Cellular Automata. Especially when you have a piece of information move diagonally across the screen.

Chess and Go are very different in that one is for points and the other is for annihilation. However, Go solved the draw (and first player advantage) with 'komi'. Giving white (the…

Given how the article is laid out, I think it would be more appropriate to view the game from the lens of when we teach the operations in school, as opposed to what are fundamental…

I am night blind, among other things and cannot drive. If an area doesn't have street lights it's much more inaccessible to me, I become fully blind and I usually end up not going.…

I built a web version based on your post: https://jesterswilde.dev/vertrend.html

Gwahahha, succinct. I run into this far too often. Being in places or doing things I (blind guy) "shouldn't be", thus, am not blind.

Public transit is fantastic for my independence. Most other countries I've been to grant me a greater degree of freedom than I have here in the US. NYC is decent for this. Stop lig…

I haven't ever even heard of electrotactile tongue display units. Got a link? I am generally more optimistic about technology if it's generally beneficial and not targeted at blind…

That's completely fair. Hopefully you've had technology help you. If so, more power to you. The main crux of #2, for me, is that there is many technologies people push or suggest t…

No worries, I get where you're comin from. Nobody can truly understand what anyone else is goin through and we all have to use ourselves as proxies.

The shame was my own issue of going from sighted to blind. A disabled person is singularly different than most other folks (although people with major disabilities are ~16% of the …

What age did you start learning to echolocate and how long did it take? I alluded to it in my other post, but I fully agree with your sentiment around independence and figuring out…
