i often hear this frustration, been hit by it first-hand and am just recovering
my keys to overcoming this frustration:
* capture (focus on) the joy of doing math; this doesn't get better the more you know (i'd argue, to the contrary); a child figuring out that 2+2 = 3+1 is as profoundly moved as Tao doing his most advanced ones
* be responsible and figure out what parts of the maths journey have lastingly influenced your way of thinking about the world; if you trust math is really beautiful or "it's the language of the universe" or something, then it _must_ have an influence on how you see things; not because of the theorems, but because of the practice; isolate this, nurture it
The author seems to be falling for a kind of a fallacy.
First, I can’t believe the author can call the metaverse bs because it would be nonexistent or would soon die: it is already nascent and seems to be growing by the mere fact people (some of them influential) are pushing for it, as he points out himself.
Consequently, we are left with an ethical viewpoint: internet of text has more virtues than vr or blockchain, games are more creative (thus, beautiful?) if closed worlds, etc. Allow me to call is the “down to earth” viewpoint.
I should also mention the calling out on private interests driving the metaverse developments, but allow me to stay concise.
I can definitely relate to it, but, in some sense, this criticism sounds like a lack of respect for future humans who might feel like this metaverse thing is actually improving their lives. It’s a bit like criticizing a religion in front of a believer: that’s rude and often not conclusive.
At that point or the discourse (as a better conclusion to the article), I’d be more interested by reading some ideas to concretely promote a different vision for the future of the internet and games.
What else can we suggest, as programmers, designers, … that could be convincing to people to follow the “down to earth” path?
I can't get my location list to fill up. `:lex system("ls")` then `:llist` works (files are listed). But after `:lex system("ag something")`, `:llist` doesn't show anything.
Thanks for the idea. For me that's not an optimal solution for 2 reasons:
* I care about using the same tools and having a consistent environment. Vagrant (for example) is awesome for building when you want to mirror a production machine, but not that great for other use cases. In my case, I would have my Mac shell for everyday use + a vagrant-based Linux shell for my software projects, so that makes two different OSes to play with… If my project doesn't require that, I would prefer not increase my "OS contact surface" :)
Based in Paris, Legalstart is a leader in the European legal-tech space that aims at profoundly simplifying legal services, starting with making access to justice greatly easier, especially for businesses creators. Our flagship product is simple incorporation in France.
Since the launch of the site at the beginning of 2014, Legalstart has experienced a very strong growth. In this context, we are looking for creative developers to help us extend our product base and grow internationally.
At Legalstart, we strive to improve our technical skills, that means challenging the status quo (we shipped a small blockchain-based product in production), continuously improving our practices (we started using Elm!), staying close to the local community (hosting meetups, conferences)… Also, Legalstart engineers develop a strong ownership of the product itself, and we commit their personal growth.

About formalisation of laws in code (read: "write down laws as code"), I wonder how far this can go (eg. in a 10 or 20-years timespan).
Any idea what are the most suitable parts of law (notably public) where to apply this principle?
And how far can companies/startups go without the help of governments in this venture?
Another note on "smart contracts" in the first sense, or as I would put it, trusted computation as way of executing multi-party agreements.
This approach already in application in electronic markets for example, and public blockchains seem to be a way to bring this to the masses.
But I think it's still hard to say how this can interplay with "wet" decisions (involving a judge or an arbitrator). That's probably one of the interesting questions in this domain.
