I know you jest but Square's pushing forward web5... https://developer.tbd.website/...

It all depends on what you want and where you want the project to go. Open source is one way to expand. I suspect if you ever get to get thousands of requests and bug reports, at that point someone can probably be paying you to work on it full time.

Um, everything? I don't have to work for then-Monsanto if I hate how they treated farmers.

Plenty of other jobs. I don't have to hate what I do or where I work to earn a living.

Aside: just noticed the subtle change to your sig, ha.

Satellite internet is barely internet. If you haven't used it then you wouldn't even be able to guess how bad it is. Many sites just won't work, all the javascript is too dumb to handle high-latency connections.

Agree that Against was the better story. And don't get me started on the hideous Beyond the Fall of Night by Benford.

No, no, no, you misunderstand -- he's better than other people!

Yeah -- *none* of those are the gems. I'd try Square or Riot, or even Monsanto if you can get over their general evilness. I didn't mind BJC Healthcare, either. And keep in mind that while pay is lower than other places, so are all the living expenses.

I absolutely agree. I've been working through his stuff for a while now (Most is available on Project Gutenburg). It has all aged really well.

Yes it is. And it is also chat (jabber). And some other things.

But in practice, it seems to do best as a wiki-like thing.

Ah, Miracle Max...

I don't have a listing, but I've seen the episode twice in the past year or two. KDNL-30 in Saint Louis plays 2-4 simpsons episodes a day, and the showing includes the part with the two guys in towers arguing, that wikipedia claims is edited out.

Of course, like any good slashdotter, I haven't read the article, so I don't know what education level this applies to. But I challenge my four-year-old daily on things she can understand, to see if she has put any thought into what she thinks of as true. I'm not too good at it, by my aim is to be like this guy: http://www.s-anand.net/Calvin_and_Hobbes_Dad_explains_science.html

And if you didn't start hitting div by zero errors in BASIC when you were a youngster, I may have to ask for your nerd credentials back.
