Other mindbending erros that made no sense included: (Mix) Could not find a Mix.Project, please ensure a mix.exs file is available (Mix) Could not compile dependency :elixir_make Often these did not include an error message at all, or included error messages like erlang complaining about ===> Uncaught error: {badmatch,[]} when trying to compile a dependency. https://aeturnum.dev/blog/it-is-impossible-to-write-text/ Fri, 21 Feb 2020 00:35:16 -0500 https://aeturnum.dev/blog/it-is-impossible-to-write-text/ 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ ⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉ 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺ🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧ⓉⓉ🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍⓉⓉⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔ⓍⓉ🅣🅔🅧🅣ⓉⒺ🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣ⒺⓍ🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣🅣🅔🅧🅣 It’s common to describe written works as using ‘text’ - a technology that transparently transmits the content of language into the mind of the reader. In this imagining of writing different copies of a written work are interchangeable. https://aeturnum.dev/blog/text-pitch/ Fri, 21 Feb 2020 00:35:16 -0500 https://aeturnum.dev/blog/text-pitch/ The real title of this essay is 🚬🤡😳🤯, but Hugo (the tool used to generate this blog) can’t handle emoji in the title, so we have a fake title. Fig 1 How does this (fake) text exchange (Fig 1) read to you? How do you read the response? To me, the response (“Mom”) is assertive and definitive. A declaration in periods. Two full stops in a short message. https://aeturnum.dev/home/ Wed, 19 Feb 2020 14:59:10 -0500 https://aeturnum.dev/home/ Background I’m a software “engineer” and a Science, Technology & Society scholar. I focus on intersections of software and social experience, especially the social aspects of software work. Work I’m in the process of completing a Masters in Science, Technology & Society at Drexel University. My ongoing masters project is hosted on github. I’ve previously worked as a software engineer for a series of startups that no longer exist and briefly for Qualcomm after an acquisition.
