I’ve spent the last 6 years teaching Free Software and Open Source at École Polytechnique de Louvain, being forced to investigate the subject and the history more than I anticipated in order to answer students’ questions. I’ve read many historical books on the subject, including RMS’s biography and many older writings.

And something struck me.

RMS was right since the very beginning. Every warning, every prophecy realised. And, worst of all, he had the solution since the start. The problem is not RMS or FSF. The problem is us. The problem is that we didn’t listen.

A collection of GUI screenshots.

So the author says. They say, the right metaphor is songs! This is non-sensical, documents are the right metaphor, and we should do our best to preserve it.

The author of the website claims to know a bit about hypertext, and they do, but look at this URL! How to fix it? UPD. From the computer I managed to close the extra tabs on the page which were not visible on the phone and fix the URL.

Там творятся удивительные вещи.

Ken describes how he injected a virus into a compiler. Not only did his compiler know it was compiling the login function and inject a backdoor, but it also knew when it was compiling itself and injected the backdoor generator into the compiler it was creating. The source code for the compiler thereafter contains no evidence of either virus.

A different Bionicle story reference. I like the name.

Tobias told us about his past with a very elaborate riced Arch Linux config. Now he's a GNOME developer, who knows that it's better to contribute a better icon to the app than to update an icon theme; to use fish instead of zsh with a big config; etc. In general, invest time into things that scale.

I like his little remark towards the static site. I dislike his little remark towards self-hosting, although I see where he's coming from.

Lisp is so powerful that problems which are technical issues in other programming languages are social issues in Lisp.

Серьезно, не нужен. Я бы предпочел SQL.

Nex is a little internet protocol inspired by Gemini and Gopher.

A cute small wiki engine. I like the markup: it is Gemtext + HTML + Wikilinks.

There are more cool words in English, because there are more people in English and more history in English that come up with cool words. Slovak is less wordy in that sense.

Gophernotes is a Go kernel for Jupyter notebooks and nteract. It lets you use Go interactively in a browser-based notebook or desktop app. Use gophernotes to create and share documents that contain live Go code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. These notebooks, with the live Go code, can then be shared with others via email, Dropbox, GitHub and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer. Go forth and do data science, or anything else interesting, with Go notebooks!
