"This day and age, the knowledge is at our fingertips." I disagree, there's lots of 'information' at your fingertips, but not knowledge. It's really a ton of work to find well designed and built appliances, tha

Fridges and washing machines and so on? Have you documented any of the builds? I would be very interested in open-source plans like this, and joining (or helping form) a community around the idea of appliances built to last, or more importa

"As the technology finally reaches industry" Have I missed some news? If I remember, one promising aspect of the tech was that different subsystems could effectively run at different speeds, and could therefore be developed indepe

"It is hard to explain not being able to land a job for 36 months for a Python backend developer" Assuming the python ecosystem is not that much different from ruby/rails, C/unix, etc, no it's not. Especially for a

Am I the only one who misread the title?

because sometimes you don't know precisely what you mean. if you don't already know the shape of your solution the 'safety' features restrain you.

I wonder how many people got it just to try it out, with no real intention of keeping it anyway.

it's a kitchen sink full of old baggage like car, cdr, caaadr, etc. clojure/cjs/babashka, fennel, janet, racket, etc make more sense to learn.

You obviously don't remember the situation with mobile phone chargers before the EU mandated usb charging. Every manufacturer had a prorietary connector, voltage etc. Even different models from the same manufacturer often had different

"and finally, self-copying RNA formed." LOL, do we have an example of such a thing, RNA that can copy itself independently, without helper chemicals/energy? It's quite clear to me that life most likely started with a &#x

This exactly. Everyone boasts about hiring the top 1% or whatever. What about everyone else. The entire system is broken. The reason we tolerate capitalism is that it fosters competition and innovation, which produces material plenty. But t

Hiring is broken. I would not bother with cover letters, take-home tests (unless fairly far into the process), or any other asymetric work - ie work that's free for recruiters to ask for but takes time deliver. If they are willing to w

Yes, this is my argument against significant-whitespace languages like python, or even worse for simple nested data like yaml. Actual delimiters explicitly structure your code, and then automatic formatting confirms it, kind of like double-

A huge fee in order to start paying rent to an 'owner'? This whole deal has very much jumped the shark.

Agreed. I also do not see any value in the current questions; individual status should be communicated with in a tracking tool. The standup is a chance to get everyone together, raise and share any issues or clever solutions or whatever, ma

I'm sure the title makes sense to it's intended audience, but maybe we could have something more generic for us generalist techs? I mean when I click to the github, there's no mention of 'PKM' or 'SSG' wha

I also agree with a focus on privacy and trust. It seems like the perfect time for it, with the other platforms enshitening.

I admire the passion, but it seems ominous, and some might even say underhanded; obviously it's not simply 'free' work, but a 'free trial' and marketing. But work for 'free' also pulls the rug from under c

What's this for? OK there are probably plenty of not-really academic institutions who hire not-really academics, not to mention administrators, but this just seems like some very specific personal grudge.
