@npub1p4r…6aux (checks notes). "Oh, wrong Banks + Culture connection." Another pattern is "the generation after a nationalistic victory".

@npub1p4r…6aux I was thinking about scenes in connection with Marick's episodes reviewing the book Collaborative Circles, which starts from examining the dynamics of close collaboration of specific circles, while "Clusters of Talent" starts with a historical golden age and trying to identify common factors connecting place and era with individual talented people.
"the golden age ended with a reactionary takeover" as a pattern in Clusters of Talent hits a little too close to home now.

Pancakes and podcast listening on a Saturday morning. Starting with podcast.oddly-influenced.dev and maybe I will see if On The Media has something interesting.
food; pancakes

I miss FitNesse, table based tests defined in wiki pages. It seems to prefigure computational notebooks like Jupyter, Observable, Phoenix Livebook, and Glamorous Toolkit / Lepiter.
Maybe I need to revive it in some modern form. A few minutes' search didn't bring much up in terms of believable alternatives, beyond "We wrapped our Cucumber suites in a web runner with page editing".

@npub1a4t…q9yj I wonder if there is prior wisdom from email or forums to be had?
The all:all federation geometry may be a challenge to scale. I think of the network dynamics diagrams where there are clusters of clusters, and perhaps small nodes don't directly federate with everyone.
