The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin

news.ycombinator.com Louis Menand 2025-11-16 22:53:21

An interviewer once asked James Baldwin if he’d ever write something without a message. “No writer who ever lived,” Baldwin said, “could have written a line without a message.” This is true. People write because they have something to say. Baldwin had something to say, and he spent his life saying it. But many who thought they got his message didn’t get it at all. Baldwin was high-strung and emotionally labile. He wasn’t exactly charismatic—there was a strangeness about him which he did nothing

The Enterprise Experience

The Enterprise Experience It's the 18th of August. Today is a special day for me, as it marks my one-year anniversary of working at $ENTERPRISE. Before this I had been a professional software developer for the best part of a decade, but entirely in startups and SMEs. This time last year I made the decision to sell out and hit the big leagues for fun and financial profit. After my interview the only feedback I received was that I didn't have much exposure to enterprise software development, whi

I Prefer the Merlin Bird ID App Over Meditation Apps for Staying in the Present Moment

I've downloaded countless meditation apps and tried all the breathing exercises to stay present. Yet, the app I wasn't expecting to help me with mindfulness is the one I've had the most success with. It's an app for identifying birds. I was just as surprised as you are. Merlin Bird ID was launched in 2014 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to help people identify the birds around them. Thanks to eBird, the world's largest database of bird sounds and photos based on 800 million global sightings,

How a mysterious particle could explain the Universe’s missing antimatter

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-16 10:15:17

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current theories, matter and its counterpart, antimatter, ought to have been created in equal amounts at the time of the Big Bang. But antimatter is vanishingly rare in the universe. So what happened? Physicists don’t know the answer to that question yet, but many think the solution must involve some subtle dif

‘Foundation’ Just Smashed the Past Into the Present, and the Present Into the Future

You knew it wasn’t going to be a pleasant exchange when—at the very end of last week’s Foundation episode—Demerzel barged her way aboard Gaal’s spaceship. Gaal may be a psychic warrior who’s lived for over 300 years, but Demerzel is an ancient robot. They aren’t strangers, having met at the very beginning of season one. But times have changed since then, to put it mildly, and they really don’t know much about each other. That evolves in a big way in season three, episode six, “The Shape of Time.
