The main theme is survivorship bias: https://xkcd.com/1827/

There's nothing wrong with telling your story in a book. But telling it as a half truth is just as bad a lying.

Are there economists here?

If you could make (non radioactive) gold AND keep it secret, how much (oz?) could you produce a year without substantially affect gold's market value? Asking for a friend.

It's so cool to see more terminal(-adjacent) experiments! We're overdue in evolving this space.

Self-plug: last month I demoed [0] my own terminal. The goal is to dispense with traditional shells and see what happens. It generated quite a bit of hooplah, with a 50-50 split on how people felt about it.

I'll keep an eye on Fui; might come in handy for future Linux builds.

That's very interesting, two comments:

- Automatic black box with autocomplete is a deal breaker for me. It'll drive me mad.

- I only use the mouse in the terminal if I have to (it disturbs and slows my flow!). So anything that helps me NOT using the mouse would be better. At the moment I think it's only text select/copy I use the mouse for. And resize the window. So a magic quick way to select text and copy from the keyboard would be very nice.

But I do realize I'm not the intended audience.

Well in the Netherlands all kids are basically expected to bring their own cold sandwiches every day, so that isn't seen as a punishment. Primary schools don't even have separate tables for meals, let alone canteens: kids just eat their cold sandwiches day after day (and still grow into the tallest people in the world).

Nothing wrong with that. But there's a massive difference of everyone bringing their sandwiches vs. everyone getting a hot meal but little Johnny having his yanked away because his parents can't afford it.

> The thing about witnessing a 7-year-old having their hot lunch tray yanked away and replaced with a cold sandwich

It's bizarre that this happens in America.

That's simple. It's so simple that it uses the word simple 12 times in that simple short text. That must be very simple. Simple as that! I like simple stuff.

Would handling governmental data make you a high value target?

FreeCAD is fine (the author also uses it). Make sure to follow the official documentation (eg. PartDesign tutorial) to not get immediately frustrated.

I highly recommend MangoJelly Solutions's tutorials.

Here's a playlist for FreeCAD 1.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_yh_S31R9g&list=PLWuyJLVUNt...

But he has a bunch of other videos.

That was intentional. The real download was the silence you felt inside.

There is never silence. Software buttons can do two things, a) what they say they do, or if not, b) trigger my rage response right away.
