if you're spending every waking hour coding, you're unlikely to be building relationships.

I think this is a critical skill that our industry hasn't done a great job of building, and I think few industries do that well. Engineers have a stereotype of being bad at this by default and there isn't much clear help on how to improve, in contrast to the many freely accessed guides on how to improve with technology.

Also, I love the Starcraft analogy <3

I'd love to see a copy of this, I think I could learn from it too.

That is a super good story, thanks for the link

check out https://vim-bootstrap.com I'm a vim newbie but found it very useful.

I'm interested to read about this if you've got links to related blogs or such.

If anyone is a member of a cool Newsgroup, reply with it, I'm interested to try such a community.

Agreed, but the ownership of the physical games has its own satisfaction. I'm in the process of selling about 300 retro console games mostly because when I play an old game I'm likely to emulate it on my phone than hook up the real thing. I'll miss having my collection, it's nice just to go through it from time to time. I took detailed photographs before selling, those will have to do now.

I think fosstodon.org is trying to be a social network for tech people, but it federates a lot of non tech stuff, so it's a mixed bag in that regard. I recently joined it so still figuring it out, social media isn't my strong suit.

Interesting, got a blog that goes into more detail?

Really nice write up and frank about the shortcomings without being negative about it. Thanks for sharing this.

ZTE Axon M phone is as you described, but it didn't really catch on. Reviewers of the device did not like the gap from the bezels. I think it hit a sort of uncanny Valley of a gap that the Nintendo DS didn't hit.

It's unmaintained, but load81 by Antirez tries to solve this problem with the modern tools of Lua and SDL wrapped in a simple IDE. Check it out: https://github.com/antirez/load81

Looks pretty useful to me, I've been meaning to get something going to track my money. Thanks for having a simple way to bootstrap it!

This seems like a real missed opportunity to build on systems that already work. I'd love to see these open systems like nntp come back. I hope someone puts in the effort to make them competitive in the modern technology world.

I'm very surprised that Sphinx wasn't listed. It powers readthedocs.org and is generally very popular for software documentation.

I agree, a well written article with a fun tone that builds something interesting and keeps ego in check. I hope to see more like this.

Your system of minimal dependency java is interesting. Do you have anything open source I can look at or otherwise get a dive into this technique?

This article is not particularly useful. I like space and space tech, but this article just declares something to exist and doesn't go into any interesting details. I might as well read a press release from the chinese space agency.

I'd love to see this breakdown for more languages.

Any way to export these colorful maps to a png? I desire them as a desktop wallpaper, they are wonderful.

I'm disappointed that I can't C-x 3 to have web pages side-by-side, but I really, really like being able to switch between tabs with C-x b. I think I'll be giving this some time.
