macandoon Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]

I learned about Borges and Aleph from a comic. If you're Italian, you'll know.

https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads....

macandoon Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]

In Borges' story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping, or confusion. The story traces the theme of infinity found in several of Borges' other works, such as "The Book of Sand".

Maze is another favorite theme of his.

Borges fractalizes the labyrinth, infinitely multiplies the interconnections between spaces — but makes all these spaces identical, cloned pieces of an infinite non-linear repetition, extending vertiginously into eternity, out in space and deep into the future, forever onwards.

macandoon Borges: The Library of Babel [pdf]

I emerged into a kind of small plaza — a courtyard might better describe it. It was surrounded by a single building, of irregular angles and varying heights. It was to this heterogeneous building that the many cupolas and columns belonged. More than any other feature of that incredible monument, I was arrested by the great antiquity of its construction. I felt that it had existed before humankind, before the world itself. Its patent antiquity (though somehow terrible to the eyes) seemed to accord with the labor of immortal artificers.

Great story. Aleph is amazing as well.

macandoon When users never use the features they asked for

> Turns out there were a few hiccups: everyone involved in that project we wanted to use had left the company, we had no idea how to build the source code, it had something like 500,000 lines of code, and the one person we found that knew anything about the project was 13 hours ahead and stopped replying to our emails.

When you don't talk to users this is what you end up with.

macandoon When users never use the features they asked for

Had an issue like that. The workaround snippet that fixed it was aptly named stfu.js by the author.
