This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

They had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It’s not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

What serious coder is happy with one monitor?

Fat fingering BGP config has nuked the internet quite a few times already.

This flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.

This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.

One of the hurdles to ARM is that you need to recompile and maintain a separate version of every piece of software for the different processors.

This is a much easier task for a tightly controlled ecosystem like Mac than the tons of different suppliers Windows ecosystem. You can do some sort of emulation to run non-native stuff, but at the cost of the optimization that you were hoping to gain.

Another OS variation also adds a big cost/burden to enterprise customers where they need to manage patches, security, etc.

I would expect to see more inroads in non-corporate areas following Apple success, but not any sort of explosion.

Enshitification won’t stop until the frogs realize that they are being boiled to death and jump out of the pot.

You can also combine your names into a Linux distribution.
