Kudos, evbogue. Thank you for the hard work you've done to keep this alive.

To paraphrase Willie Sutton’s probably apocryphal answer to the question of why he robbed banks, ‘Because that’s where the money is.’

That's an eminently reasonable and logical policy. Thanks for the context.

Anything made by humans can be unmade by humans. Security is a perpetual arms race.

Pipelining, mostly.

Because you’d be denying cast and crew of their royalties? If people pirated on a mass scale, the losses would add up. Whatever you may think about streaming platforms, don’t punis…

It’s both greed and laziness.

Why innovate when you can be a perpetual rentier?

That will probably happen eventually, but right now RISC-V only has the hp for embedded or peripheral uses. It will continue to nip at ARM’s heels for the next 5-10 years.

Exactly. The best writers all have one thing in common: they’re voracious readers.

Hence the ‘or else’ qualifier.

Maybe Copilot will get wrapped into a Sky.NET meta-platform.

AI provides cover to lay people off, or else commit constructive dismissal.

ACA is largely based on Heritage Foundation policy papers. Project 2010, if you will.

Second- and third-hand smoke mimic contagion.

Interesting project! I also appreciate being introduced to the digital public infra initiative.

Energy is never lost, however, it’s transduced into less and less useful forms due to entropy.

There’s nothing wrong with frugality as an end-goal as long as it’s not coerced.

True. However, substitution of one good for another, or bringing online another source, won’t be instantaneous and thus otherwise needless human suffering will occur. The raw numbe…

There are projects like NAND2Tetris that IMO successfully capture that ethos. I’m also heartened by the retro movement, which keeps going from strength to strength.

I actually write more quickly in block print than I do cursive. My left-handedness and the various accommodations I’ve adopted might have something to do with it.

I'm getting a 404 for most of the pages. Not confidence inspiring.

Soft layoffs and mass constructive dismissal.

Thank you for sharing your story, and congrats on your endeavour.
