> removed the 2.5” HDD from the SPARCbook, added it to the USB enclosure, popped it into my Sun Blade 1500 and mounted the slice layout on the hard disk. Even if I didn’t already know Solaris, the SPARCbook manual that I downloaded detailed everything possible about the hardware and the Solaris operating system, including the default slice layout

This is why manuals are so damn important! Communicating to people 20+, maybe 50+ years in the future, what you've done, how the thing works, so it can be fixed and put back into service. All of today's undocumented soon-to-be-black-bricks--cough, I mean, electronic devices--are maddening. If you are lucky, there is a manual somewhere online, and even then, probably not the level that details hardware for fixing and replacing. Heck, you're lucky to find anything that even documents all the software functions available![1] (Recent Xfinity TV thingy, I'm looking at you). The attention to detail in older manuals was incredible. Most things these days are throwaway pieces of junk, not expensive, serviceable items that have durable documentation.

[1] I mean, why would you document the software of a device that is going to upgrade its software transparently as the manufacturer races to finish the features it should have shipped with, or alter the UI to inject ads into it later when their revenue model doesn't work out? Besides, you expect consumers to just give up on it and buy the next thing in 3-5 years.
I think about it like this. Software Engineering is still a damn hard industry to break into AND be successful in, but that barrier is masked by the democratization of tools and resources.

I've had many friends ask he how they can get into SWE, they see me, a 20 something, making more than their parents make. I used to give the advice "anyone can do it, you just have to practice". I've since stopped giving that exact advice.

My advice now is "you can do it, but it's going to take at least 2-4 years of almost complete dedication". The disconnect for all my friends is I think, is none of them see what I do on a daily basis. Coding, coding, more coding, reading articles about coding, and more coding.

I realized the only reason it was so "easy" for me is that I really liked it, so spending hours in front of a screen learning all this wasn't a drain on me like it would be on other people. Looking back it was by no means easy, and you have to keep working on it. I don't put in the insane hours i used to in my early 20's, but my Github history still has commits every single day except for maybe Thanksgiving and Christmas.

But sure some details. It’s in the Canary Islands so pretty far from “Europe” but not exactly hard to get to. In a village about 20 minutes drive from the city. Under a volcano but not that volcano. By the time it’s all fixed it will have cost me about a year’s gross income from my fancy tech job (which paid less than in California but quite well for the EU).

It’s a house with a studio and eventually it will also have a ceramics oven and a printing press and whatever else seems necessary. There is a bit of land with food growing. Interestingly, I will probably never be allowed to make the house any bigger, which is a useful constraint actually.

Solar and wind for energy so even stuff like long-lived powered projects can be considered. If I’m ever VIP enough I’ll bring Trevor Paglen out to watch the ships at sea. :-)

The master plan is to use it myself as a sort of recurring self-residency and then have other artists doing the same. How many depends on my capacity to manage it, at the beginning it’ll just be artists I already know and trust. If any artist has a particularly strong resonance with the place I would try to get them recurring as well, but that remains to be seen.

There will be exhibitions and studio visits and art parties, at some point. I will try to help the artists sell (including myself) but that’s secondary.

I could run it informally forever but I would really like to give it some official status eventually, partly just because but mostly in order to be able to sponsor artists. In the long run assuming I have enough money I’d like to bring out artists who would need help paying for it and getting the visa.

Part of my motivation in this is to find a way of being in the Art World that does not fill me with dread like exhibiting my own work does. But that’s another story.

I could develop a social network that “scales” in way less than three months, just working alone. A few days for the web front-end (with a few days of tweaking a bit later, and then a week of actually making it work). A couple of weeks for the ActivityPub implementation. Five minutes… perhaps 15, if I want to double-check my work, for the SQLite database. Then another week of making sure everything fit together nicely; might be able to do it in two months, actually.

It wouldn't be pretty, and it wouldn't cache images locally (which is a problem from a privacy point of view), but it would work, and it would scale just as well as the rest of the Fediverse.
The "Jellybean" parts are the parts where you "don't really care about the specs", so you just buy one of the cheapest ones available.

As such, Jellybean parts, like 1N4148, are usually extremely cheap. They have high volume, they're almost always in stock (sans current market conditions), and are relatively consistent across manufacturers.

What we're seeing is an unprecedented spike in prices, and an incredible lengthening of lead-time.

A diode is a semiconductor, but the most __primitive__ and cheapest design ever made. Literally the first semiconductor discovered back in the late 1800s. 1N4148 is the cheapest design. To see a shortage hit this part is rather historic and incredible.
> ... Generally called a monopoly, yes.

No, it really is not and this assertion makes absolutely no sense at all.

I mean, you could say the same of the original books! Asimov obviously did have a good understanding of science, but it is not meaningfully on display in Foundation; psychohistory is _nonsense_, and that's before you get to the 'atomics'. Foundation wasn't (and wasn't intended to be) rock-hard sci-fi, and that's okay.

We can already achieve this without blockchain technology! Indeed that's not the way the system works, but that's not due to technological limitation. What makes you think that once "permissionless stock markets" are available on the blockchain then secondary derivative markets won't spring up, making the ownership situation as murky is it currently is for stocks?
Firefox has had a Mozilla Maintenance Service[1] (essentially a daemon) on Windows since 2012 or so.

Thanks. However, that's 4 separate links that you've provided. (R)ead (T)he (F)antastic (M)anual suggests there is one to be referenced. It's not read a manual.

That's kind of the point. When it comes to programming, there is no single manual. You learn some basics, roll up your sleeves, and bang out code. You get to something you're unfamiliar, so you look it up. You learn something new. You go back to bang out code until the next "new". However, this time while searching, you read a different way of doing something you've done in the past that is "more better" or "less incorrect" or "more efficient". The thing to note, is not one of those websites visted and read are the same.

You can create a policy for it

}
}

Create a JSON file called `policies.json` and paste the above code into it. Then place that JSON file in a folder called `distribution`. Then make sure to place the `distribution` folder in the application folder of the browser.

Not sure why you want to do that, as updates are essential for security. Apparently it's for 'enterprise organizations' who probably want to limit the chatiness of their network and reduce latency.

Once I tried to use `which` in cross-platform scripts, all sorts of issues crept up.

The output and return result differ significantly between BSD, GNU and OSX, so you can't just run $(which python) and get a straightforward response back.

Many programming languages will exit 1 for unexpected exceptions at runtime (or programmer error). Eg, this Ruby program will exit 1:

$ ruby -e 'raise StandardError.new "oops"'
Traceback (most recent call last):
-e:1:in `<main>': oops (StandardError)
$ echo $?
1

And so will this one:

$ ruby -e 'invalid method call'
Traceback (most recent call last):
-e:1:in `<main>': undefined local variable or method `call' for main:Object (NameError)
Did you mean? caller

So, it's nice to distinguish between a possibly unexpected exceptional exit (1), and an "error case detected by the programmer", which is what I use exit (2) for.

If you proceed from the assumption that they had to adapt the Foundation novels into a serialized streaming show, then I guess I agree with you. Is there some new law that says you can't make up your own story anymore? You can even steal the things you like about Foundation, that's fine. It's not like all adaptations succeed, and all original IP fails, so I have no idea why they keep pretending that step 1 must be to buy the rights to something that already exists, even if it is structurally unfeasible to adapt.

> - A simplified, modern UI. It's fair to argue about specifics here like "tabs as buttons", but not about simplification overall. This may frustrate power users, but power users are the vast minority.

1) Being amazing for power users and also everyone else is why power users did all their marketing work for them in the Phoenix/Firebird days and installed it on every computer they were allowed access to for more than two minutes. We did that because having people in our support-sphere using Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox made our lives much easier, and those users happier. Maybe try something bold like building in ad-blocking? Blocking pop-ups by default was basically exactly that, back in the day, and was a huge part of why we evangelized it so readily.

2) How many users do they still have who aren't power users, or didn't have their browser installed by their friendly neighborhood power user?

They usually oppose that because it helps them build engagement. People discovering each other helps increase app usage.

I don't really like it either but all the other big players do this and it does really help. If signal doesn't it'll be even harder to get decent marketshare.

There's this weird situation where fighting something means adopting some of their tactics even if you don't agree with them, otherwise it's not viable to compete. I think Signal is still better than eg WhatsApp but they are pretty similar in some ways because less privacy-sensitive users expect certain features like auto discovery. And without them it'll always remain a fringe thing.

I don't mean this personally, but I'd like to dive into this take.

It is common these days for people to interpret the self-management people perform as a type of filtering (or "hiding" in your words). I find the cynicism in this viewpoint to be distasteful, when equally one could interpret the same behavior much more favorably.

When someone, for example, tidies their apartment because they anticipate a guest, they are engaging in exactly the same thing. But this is widely considered a good thing. The connections one anticipates have caused one to "brush up". The same thing is true for outspoken opinions. We aren't just "real" creatures with disgusting opinions walking around wearing "fake" masks to hide them.

The treatment of a person is different depending on which lens you opt for. On the one hand, you view society as a collection of people who ought to be unmasked, for their true identity to be uncovered and scorned appropriately. On the other, you view society as a collection of people with a fluid set of opinions that are molded by the company they are with. The unspoken idea becomes the forgotten, abandoned idea.
While the first episode had me hooked, I've found it very hard to sit through the subsequent episodes. I find them dragging, future-past bouncing isn't congruent, and I'm often distracted while the show is running, coming back to it 20 or so minutes later feeling like I haven't missed anything important.

I read the books when I was in my late teens and thought they were interesting, they kept my attention at the least. The show is, unfortunately, not something I'll clamor to watch, but rather something I'll likely keep on for background noise after the entire season airs.
