Maybe I'm a sentimental old coot, but every time I hear this song, I think it might still be possible.

Incidentally, the story of the guy who wrote the song is pretty interesting.

@bitsplusatoms I officially put the idea into the Public Domain 😃 You can do with it what you will. I have often used MicroVAX systems as room heaters as the need arose, but building NetBSD was actually 'useful' work, something that predominately generates heat is just a heater 😆

@ChuckMcManis @bitsplusatoms Years ago at Sun my office mate had a Sun 4/260 dual pedestal deskside workstation. (One pedestal had CPU/memory/tape, the other had disk drives.) He decided to quit, and on his last day he cleared out his personal effects and turned off his workstation. Within 30 minutes the office got so cold that my fingers stiffened up and I couldn’t type. I had to turn his machine back on in order to continue working.

I don't know if it's possible to get a good answer to this but: if you learned how to make websites with, like, users who can login and do things where the website stores stuff in a database, without doing it as a job, how did you do it?

I feel like in principle I know all of the basic pieces (HTTP, HTML, CSS, SQL, CORS, various programming languages, etc), but also somehow it still feels extremely hard to me

(no advice please, only stories)

@janl All I had to do was focus on the code. I didn’t have to learn those other pieces at the same time, which, to me, would have been pretty big hurdles. There were very few moving parts, so to speak.

@ramsey @wez @janl It is impossible to overstate the extent to which today’s common web stacks are designed for solving Facebook and Google’s problems. Everything is so complex in part because the tools have been architected for a scale and context that is irrelevant to nearly every project that uses them.

We’re all subsidizing the biggest companies in the world.

It’s been commonly known for years that Spotify is using “ghost artists” to minimize royalty pay outs to actual working musicians.

Few people care, but it’s worth mentioning anyway because this one company has done more damage to music than Napster ever allegedly did.

Things I believed as a child.

Father Christmas was real

God didn't exist as how could he allow such hurt in the world

The atom is made up of a nucleus and electrons

UK pensions weren't taxable

The role of Government was to look after all citizens.... Providing council housing, and control of energy and food prices to avoid excesses and make them affordable.

Free Health care and education benefits people and country

Mixed bag of disappointments... Probably more if I thought about it
