Wielding the spotlight of your publication as a weapon sounds like an interesting business model too. Like a private detective being payed by a group of subscribers, interested in finding wrongthink.
Given the current climate and the pretty safe assumption that the NYT author knows that the general public would never read through SSC (because the posts are too long and you actually have to make an effort to "consume" that blog) make me suspicious of the "positive" piece.
I agree and I wish they had some competition, but they really don't. I'm currently holding out hope that System76 will put out a nice Linux laptop as part of the Thelio line. I'm not holding my breath though and will probably have to get another Thinkpad once my current one dies.
I‘m not sure this will ever reach the light of day. It follows the same patterns as Eul did, another creation if the same inventor:
- plenty of empty links on the website that lead to something ‚coming in march/april/june/...‘
- lots of nice ideas, but nothing to show for it
I wish the creator all the best, but Eul promised a lot, long long ago, and never delivered
Thanks! We're a student group running an open puzzle hunt for medical/biomedical students who want to learn or practise coding. This is one of our puzzles based on a simplified cell automata model of a single heart ventricle.
We use Elm on our frontend and plan on using it to make other interactive puzzles like this one - we originally got into Elm from HN and it's been a joy to work with, so we wanted to share it back!
