Let us not forget about Bill Hill, co-inventor of ClearType technology: https://www.geekwire.com/2012/remembering-bill-hill-importan...

Interesting, will take a look. Regarding your questions: - Historically, reputation and web-of-trust models have been tried with mixed results (see PGP/GPG history) - Proof of work…

Well, since you asked, Arcanum, Colonization, Fallout 1, the original Pirates and, well, Caves of Qud (surprise).

Cartography, check. Alpha Centauri game, check. Very cool. On my list, Alpha Centauri easily makes it on top 5 games ever made. Thank you for the trip to memory lane.

That's interesting, can you share more information about your tech stack?

Yes please. ECC support by now should come by default, both in CPU support and in motherboards, RAM chips etc. At least AMD Ryzen supports it, but the fact that one has to spend a …

FreeBSD has started supporting JSON output for various tools via `libxo` in their base system for quite some time now.

Cryptocurrency "in general" obviously isn't deflationary, given that one can create a new cryptocurrency with a simple code fork. But Bitcoin is, no?

Maybe, if you completely disregard everything else that Bitcoin puts on the table, and how much energy is required to sustain the infrastructure it will make obsolete.

Indeed. Unbelievable omission for a project that touts simplicity and usability above else.

There's also CMU Typewriter text if you want another serif monospaced font. Looks wonderful in high dpi I believe. I've hacked mine to put slashed zero.
