Sounds like hell. They will quickly be turned away from Linux and want something simpler. Yak-shaving in lieu of work sounds cool, but it sucks when you really need to do stuff other than dick around in the terminal.

I was thinking about this yesterday after reading a lot about Kay’s Dynabook & watching him speak about it a lot. I think the author is spot-on about windows being a terrible environment for kids. Same with the iPad, sadly. The iPad is

Middle-class my arse. The nepotism runs strong in this article.

I just spent two weeks going across Europe by many modes of transport. - Australia to Amsterdam by plane (of course) - Amsterdam to Berlin by train (first class cabin, ~6h) - Berlin to Krakow by plane (Ryanair, at airport 2h before flight v

Great post, but I don't think the author really knows what 'flamer' means when he uses it to describe Linus Torvalds

It’s a greedy little enclave of people who have shucked and jived their way to the top. Of course they’re going to act like this. Execs look out for themselves ONLY.

I dropped all social media in 2017. It was hard to let go, but I could no longer justify spending my time on it. I haven’t missed it at all. It just made me realise who my actual friends are: the ones who still gave me a phone call or a tex

Funnily enough I was planning my stay in Amsterdam today and thinking “damn I need to find where the good croquettes are”… What is your recommendation? Where should I go?

I don’t see why I should ever have stopped pirating. Advertisements are exploitation. They waste time and distract, as well as deceive. On top of that, companies track your usage, data & location, then go on to sell your info to anyone.

Cool! Is this the same thing as streams in SICP?

I’m really feeling this. I’m 26 and have noticed that I’m chopped liver in terms of hiring/recruiting. Also same for life in general. I feel a bit ‘fucked over’

It’s incredible: the mental gymnastics people will perform to avoid even contemplating the fact that our wages are Fucked (capital F intended). Want people to be enthusiastic about working? Pay them enough! Want ambitious people? You won’t

I’m normally sentimental about things, but I couldn’t care less about this one. They’ve updated other features in the app (after about ten years…) and this kitschy little bastard had to go. It was cool when I first saw it on my iPhone 4…

I went to school in Australia from about 2003 - we never had anything other than fire drills.

I've had a look at threading/piping operators in a few languages (list below). I'd say that Racket has the best one I've used. I love that you can specify a '_' for the hole which the result from the previous o

A Herman Miller Embody. It was too much money for me, but I can’t go back to cheap chairs now. My back is messed up after diving off a boat many years ago. I could sit in my old chair for about ten minutes before it started giving me searin

Great news. I think many peoples lives were disrupted because of the dogmatism on this topic. We should always be ready to trash our viewpoints when presented with new facts. It’s also our responsibility to verify facts we’re presented. Mos

This is ‘shrinkflation’, but for worker-hours. Like when you buy some potato chips and the packet is smaller, but you pay the same price as before.

I’ve found that having ‘tab groups’ (in whatever browser you fancy) has helped me to juggle around 20 different ‘interests’ at a time. Oh, it’s a Lisp sort of day? Hit the Lisp tab group and continue that weird session I started earlier in

That’s not an experiment, that’s a rise in pay-rate… it’s very much past due in a lot of countries for a lot of job categories.

It’s a playground for text. If you dream of a feature you want and your elisp is decent, the dream can become reality. It’s a beautiful big mess of features that mostly inter-operate. It feels like you can create ‘emergent behaviour’ when y
