As morbid as it sounds I'd hope to be instantly atomized in such a scenario. Imagine trying to deliver YoY growth and market impact using just irradiated soil and GNU/Make.

- doctor_eval 3y agoI dunno. Seems like there would be a lot of red ocean.
- schmorptron 3y agoHey now, we still have that GitHub arctic code vault.
- actionfromafar 3y agoI hope it's deep enough or the photographic film it's on will become mouldy when the climate warms up again after the nuclear winter.
- alexjplant 3y agoI have a GitHub Achievement/Badge/Flair/whatever they call it for supposedly having contributed to this and I haven't the faintest clue what I did.
- masklinn 3y agoIf you click on the icon it should tell you. Basically any contribution to a repository which got archived gets you the nod. Likewise for the Mars rover one.
- alexjplant 3y agoIt should but it doesn't... > @alexjplant contributed code to 0 repositories in the 2020 GitHub Archive Program. Maybe it was in a since-deleted repository?
- masklinn 3y agoHmmm possibly, seems odd that all mentions would be struck out but I can't say. Maybe try messaging github support to ask?
- ozfive 3y agoOh boy, they snagged on of the least useful repos of mine. So I apologize ahead of time for it being in that arctic vault for any people in the future. I didn't get to pick which one they selected.
- afavour 3y agoObviously it doesn't actually matter that much but sometimes I do wonder how I'd fare in a nuclear holocaust scenario and it's depressing to think how useless my professional skills would be. Idealistically I'd be grabbing PC components wherever I could find them and frankensteining machines together, making networks to connect bunkers... but in reality we'd probably not even have power. It's so far down the hierarchy of needs.
- jacquesm 3y ago> Idealistically I'd be grabbing PC components wherever I could find them and frankensteining machines together, making networks to connect bunkers... You'd be better off reading a book on hydroponics and subsistence farming if you were determined to see it through. And have a way to exit stage left available in case it all doesn't work out.
- ddmf 3y agoSo you're saying my experience in growing mushrooms may not have been a waste of time :)
- jacquesm 3y agoWho knows, it may become your most valuable skill one day. But let's hope it's something else instead.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThe only actual skill of value in a post apocalypse scenario is convincing people around you to not murder you for your meager possessions. Humanity without a state has no qualms about murdering a member of an out group, and it can even be a bonding activity for the in group. Left to our own devices we form tight knit, small scale communities which are very protective of each other but extremely hostile to anything else. There's no "society", no "technology", no "time to build something". Look at the Primitive Technology guy on youtube; Even very basic metal is impossible without industry, so no metal ax, no metal parts for anything. Stone tools are incredibly inferior to even basic modern tools. The spare people and time required to develop and work an industry to start building ANYTHING more than a weaved basket or stone ax requires the recreation of agriculture, except nearly none of the survivors of any situation will understand anything about growing plants, and we don't have a hundred thousand years of human history practicing while being nomadic hunters. Your gun won't protect you. Your stores of food will run out. Your knowledge of anything that isn't "how do I sustainably produce one million calories a year with only my bare hands" is useless.
- tempodox 3y agoIndeed, one nuclear explosion can ruin your whole compile.
- dmd 3y agoOf course, you'd also have access to threads.
