Remember that Wright told HotR owner/designer Alex Jordon that he wouldn't hire him to design a chicken coop. You are correct; both should be visited. However, get ready for monotony at HotR. Room after room after room of Jordan's curiosity collection.

Having visited multiple Wright buildings, I must say this: no photograph or video will EVER do it justice. The man was a master of light. Wright buildings MUST be visited in person to experience this. You will FEEL it.

Similar to the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states entropy tends to increase over time in a closed system, I propose the Nth Law of Privatization: enshitification tends to increase with market capitalization/share over time.

KEEP. JOHNNIE'S. SECRET. Lines are long enough as it is. We don't need tourists messing it up. Signed, -Mont Clare resident

I'm afraid the cat is definitely out of the bag on Johnnie's.

Hey! I live in Galewood! OK, Mont Clare really. But you would not be wrong in either case. People see/hear about Chicago (the city, not burbs) and think it is just deep dish, The Bean, and crime. But out here in the bungalow belt, it is working class schlubs just living quiet lives. Aka, the REAL Chicago. If you want a better picture, look up "Blues Brothers Mrs. Tarantino". Yes, I know that's Cicero, but close enough. If you drove that street today, nearly 50 years later, you'd think no time has passed at all.

Isn’t that the story of most “suburbs”? Nice place to live, wouldn’t want to visit?

I'm just being a snooty communist from Oak Park.

As a Yocto enthusiast, I am curious as to how much elapsed realtime would be needed for a clean Yocto build. Yocto is thread heavy, so with 288, it oughta be good.


My Yocto build times on a 32-core AMD are negligible, <2 minutes for a full distro, IIRC. I suspect higher core counts have diminishing returns, especially since most dev builds are heavily cached.


As a fellow yocto enthusiast, I think they should call the process node 1.8e15 ym instead of the stupid legacy Angstrom unit.


I'd like to believe that Silicon Valley mgmt is Pro-Trump in the same way that Oskar Schindler was "pro Nazi". You may not personally like who is in office, but you pretend to in order to survive.


This isn’t the case, sadly. Some people, like Ben Horowitz sadly, have gone completely off the deep end.

Some are culture warriors who feel they have been wronged, some are opportunists. But the thing with opportunism is that this is who they are and what they believe in. Having a president who is corrupt is exactly what they want because they know exactly how to work with him: quid pro quo.

There is no distance between them being pro-Trump and opportunistic. He’s the perfect embodiment of those values.


There are a few people like that (we know who they are) but either tech has changed or I never noticed but a significant portion of the senior leadership in the tech world is MAGA (not in the dumb way - but in a far more problematic "techno-libertarian" way)


> in a far more problematic "techno-libertarian" way

We should probably use a different word for Elon-style goals.

"Freedom for me but not for thee" is a far stretch from libertarianism.


All the real world libertarianism I've seen trends towards the Elon Musk kind. I almost intentionally use the word since I don't see any other outcome so it's important to use the word liberally :-)


2 things to think about here: 1. Coding is just one phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC). We still have to gather requirements, design, test, release, and most importantly maintain. I was taught, albeit years ago, that code spends most of its life in maintenance and that is the phase where the most money is spent. 2. Keep in mind Amdahl's law. The limit of software cost as coding cost approaches zero is the cost of the other phases of the SDLC. Apologies to Amdahl for the cheap, dirty bastardization.


When I began work at my last company, we all had to badge in to get in the parking lot, where there was 6 lanes 6-10a and just 2 other times. We also had to pass through 1 of 4 turnstyles, and we were subject to bag inspection going both in and out. We were trained to NEVER leave my badge in an unguarded location (ie my locked car at home, at lunch, etc). We were also trained to NOT display our badges off campus, especially when travelling. This made me make DAMN SURE I knew where my badge was at at times. Same hook in the closet. When walking OUT through the turnstyle, I usually either put it in my bag if I had one, tucked into my shirt pocket, or just tucked under my shirt.


I'm going to wager the risk of corporal punishment is a significant deterrant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_in_Singapore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Michael_Fay Not coincidentally, Singapore has one of the lowest recidivism rates globally. https://www.sps.gov.sg/files/annual%20reports/Press_Release_...
