Who doesn’t enjoy some good theremin

Less often with movies/TV/books than music for me, but I’ll still tear up to a movie or show sometimes if I don’t feel like I’m being beat over the head by the music pushing a feeling than engaged with the story and characters.

I think I’d need to be born before 1755 to have a significant change to my religious or some political beliefs.

What does it taste like?

When I see my friends, coworkers, neighbors, community, etc just being awesome to each other. Just little stuff like letting someone else have the last slice of cake, giving someone the rest of the jug of wiper fluid after filling up, returning their carts, apologizing for interrupting or bumping into someone, preventing someone from getting scammed, etc.

First I used was an apple II at the public library mostly just for games like Oregon trail, first I programmed on was in a school library using an IBM PS/2 using Pascal, and first I owned was a Packard bell Pentium 2 family shared computer.

Phrasing it like theaters are losing audiences due to laziness and not a bad value proposition is nuts to me

There is a lot of garbage out there, but also some really good stuff. I like to stay logged out and clear history occasionally to try to keep from getting too algorithm bubbled. It’s not just automatically filtering content by subject matter, it also filters by length if you watch mostly long form videos you’ll get more long recommendations, and same for short videos. Try using more generic search terms for hobbies, interests, topics, etc you’ll get a little more variety in search results and won’t rely as much on the algorithm to filter recommendations.

I think it’s weird almost nobody picks their own name and people carry their parents or spouse’s name, you’d think something so personal and self identifying you’d want it to be something you prefer or you find fitting based on some preference or personality trait.

Crumpler bag, Ibanez guitar, lammy pens, and darn tough socks have all held up well

Temporary blinding LED flash weapon, stink bombs, vomiting, reciting the Captain Ahab monologue from Moby Dick where he’s telling them to split their lungs with blood and thunder and crack their oars and backs.

Thanks I’ll check them out, that was my chill/nostalgia electronic spot runners up would probably be bonobo or boards of Canada

At the gates, com truise, mf doom, amon tobin

No reason in particular, i like mad Tom O’bedlam and his god of cities from the invisibles comic based on the 17th century poem/song

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Just like the old fortune teller said!

I have two so far, a Scholar and a Futurama expert

Handheld Zelda link’s awakening for the Gameboy hits me the hardest as it was the first I owned myself bought with my first jobs mowing lawns and delivering papers.

Console, NES contra watching my older brothers get way further than I could at the time & teach me the Konami code

PC xwing, I had a f16 flight stick and my siblings would play splitting weapons/shield/engines distribution to a copilot and the pilot flying and aiming. That mission where you have to fly back and forth protecting the Corvette from imperial attacks from both sides jumping in and out of the area was peak retro space combat gaming.

More libraries for more things, physical and digital. Some traditional libraries have expanded to other media, tools, etc but it’s really just scratching the surface on community sharing of reusable resources, mostly limited by funding for staff and space for public libraries.

Access to resources for scientific reproducibility studies. Publish or perish models are based around publishing novel research in for profit journals. Peer reviews generally do not reproduce the study or experiment as they are not paid for that work and can only review the paper on it’s merits itself. This leads to bad actors who submit research that can get past review and remain cited for potential years before someone attempts to and fails to reproduce their work, and it’s getting worse with for example comp sci research not including publishing code or software projects with their research. If there were a way to fund reproducibility studies you could open a new path for a scientifically trained workforce and improve the quality of available research in general.

And on scientific research for profit peer review journals themselves. They could be replaced by nonprofit organizations relying on more digital spaces like arXive.org or sci-hub to add credential and public review on top of available research, but nothing has been reputable enough to really break past mass adoption in most scientific fields.

If you want examples of what people work on check out the public github repositories, they range from big open source projects with multiple developers, testers, etc to small projects only one person has worked on.

Many languages/build chains will provide template projects these days to give you some baseline to build from instead of an empty directory. Maven archetypes for example in Java or https://start.spring.io/ for spring projects in Java/kotlin/groovy. But that’s just to give you some structure and frameworks so you’re not starting with a blank canvas.

Different languages will appeal to different practices too, like a compiled language you’ll want to leverage debuggers and logging, but an interactive language, or one that offers both compiled and interactive, may have a REPL or command line prompt to work against to try out ideas before saving them in a script or class file.
