😀 Tom This is the second story I'm reading where everybody instantly has access to everyone's complete digital life, secrets and all. In both stories, the world goes crazy and seems to break down. I wonder if it would actually happen that way. Probably.
🦿 Lucian Marin You already have access to anyone work history on LinkedIn and exactly what they worked on. Most important life moments are on Instagram. Code that all computers run on is public on GitHub. World's richest man spent his money on tweets and memes. We live in a Black Mirror episode or simply the 21st century.

Zero Edge "White people" throughout history have always thought they can own another persons body. No surprise that they are at the forefront of forcing injections into people's bodies against their will. They never believed in anatomical autonomy and they probably never will.

Zero Edge Just fyi, from an employer: If you have no work history from about May 2020 - September 2021, you look like a lazy who sat on the sidelines while the majority of us worked our butts off. Gives off a bad impression. Probably better to make something up for those dates..

Zero Edge More than 50% of comments on the internet are from people whos brain has not fully developed yet.. Never in history have young people had such weight in their voice but at the same time we do not know who is blessed with age and who has more to grow. The internet is mud. Engage more in real life and you will see the internet is not a reflection of us but a poorely drawn caricature.

Cole Hudson The computer history museum's oral history videos are incredibly insightful. It'd be useful to have something identical for other fields as well.

Cole Hudson Still sore we backed out of the TPP, was an absolute no-brainer. It easily would've had a larger impact than NAFTA. Feel it'll be referenced as one of those things which dramatically altered the course of history, akin to the end of Bretton Woods.

Sijmen I do need to learn about navigating history more efficiently. And I do cheat a bit for the things you mention: on machines I tend to remote into I add '\h' for hostname, and I use '\$' for prompt which turns into # for root
🧐 Nrmn Did you know that there's a history fuzzy search included in ZSH if you press CTRL+r? Also, someone wrote a program that enhances that with weighed results taking your current directory and recent commands into account.

🧐 Nrmn I'm way too much in love with good completion and history search. I also use differently coloured prompts to differentiate between machines and privileges.

Sijmen I'm all about ksh with PS1="$ " nowadays. Keeping it simple, minimal/no config. Same with editor, just nvi with 'set ru ai nu'

Chetan Vashisht Structure and Interpretation of Computer programs was a life changing book for me as a programmer. I hardly got 10% of this monster of a book but it still changed the way I code. Another book is Hackers and Painters, a much lighter book with some great perspectives!
🤔 David I would be fine with reading either book! Hackers and Painters looks neat...there are a few history books about working in IT that I would like to read--Soul of a new machine is one that I've read about halfway through (great narration), and Fire in the valley is another I mean to start. || FYI, for others reading, join our Subreply book club if you're interested :) bit.ly/subreply-se...

🦇 Arr A question for the swarm of cool people: As my favorite hobby to do-while-doing-other-things is listening to podcasts (mostly in german, though) -- Which podcasts to you find interesting or useful? To me, The Anthropocene Reviewed was mildly interesting.
😃 Javier I just finished the podcast: "Nice White People". The history of segregation in a public school in Brooklyn NY USA. I find it fascinating. Is from the creators of the Podcast Serial. Which is also fascinating.
