For anyone versed in history, the first two paragraphs are honestly difficult to read, because of the ingnorance displayed. If you do not get the types of critical responses you're hoping for, thats why.
I've got to run, but for now: you are asking for someone else practically invisible to you, to negotiate/compete on your behalf. The "enclosure" you are talking about is exactly this. It's literally a mindset, and when you are in it you do not realize what it really is. The automation dividend will make it possible for the first time, for somone to create abundance for people they don't care about. And people will. But even today, doing this effectively is really really hard. Technology makes pies bigger, but most pies we eat from are still very limited. Who gets to decide? You should go live in rural frugality in an agrarian society, it will peel the shells from your eyes. You may find that how things work are in reality diametrically opposed to his you thought.
I didn't get it either until I trained the algorithm to feed me what I want by just clicking the three dots and selecting Not Interested on anything I never wanted to see again... it listens, whats left is really unmatched anywhere, I've really looked, and occasionally still do out of curiosity.
Train it: I just have to spend 3 minutes every other year to tap the 3 dots on every post and choose "Not Interested", for an epic feed unmatched anywhere.
It takes forever to compile, the locally hosted solution links to the online one at https://kan.bn and you've got to spend half a day to figure out how to truly self host
Bad UX... "chat with thousands of filings" but right after: pick a ticker to start. Sure, click the Chat tab instead. Type a query. Roadblock: you have to log in first. After login, boom query wiped. I'm sure people won't use it for the UX, but UX matters...
For real, CnC Generals was the game that has taught me the most about the frivolity of war: there are no winners, both sides lose, it's just a grand burning of resources... for nothing.
You build a wonderful base and war machine, only to watch it burn.
If this was "required playing" to all kids, I would be greatly surprised if war would still be a thing... it basically mocks war. In the most fun way possible!
Look up Jeffrey Sachs' address to EU Parliament, if you are unsure about the real geopolitics of this century... you won't find it in US media.
An essay on why visual programming is way too tainted by text... ironically, in 5000 words.
Good points made, but some missed: the visual cortex is easy to overload. Maybe its our whole desktop environment and window paradigm that needs an overhaul. Or maybe text isn't that bad.
But the point is made. I think the real problem is that the kind of people have have, up to now, been able to create software, have been stuck in a certain mindset. That seems to have changed, so, watch this space, I guess?
Maybe a hint for a new form is in the recursive nature of software: Code and data mimic CPU and RAM, instruction and parameter, and compute cluster and storage cluster... I made a very unconventional IDE that played with this, that made sense to me, in DOS. Maybe its time to revisit it...
Amen on both. The rest is just noise. Brackets are still a disaster though... I do love the fact that you don't have to close HTML tags. Making out-dentation close all brackets in order would be great...
