I kind of agree - except that it wasn't the AOLers that spoiled it, but the moneygrabbers.
The internet as it was in the early days is still there, but the slop created by the moneygrabbers has buried it.
LLM slop is just the latest kind of slop.
I could go on, but the basic problem is that whenever someone tries to make money out of a service, enshittification is guaranteed.

How did you measure that productivity?

Hard luck.
The company I used to work for always recommended chrome for the in-house training, but I found that firefox worked better.
I'm retired now - I can use whatever I like 🙃

The aim of the game is to transfer some of those numbers into numbers for the public good.

I think the serious control systems people (FBW aircraft, industrial controls etc.) would disagree with you there.
I'd like to think the automotive people would be the same, but from what I've seen recently I fear not. 😠
To all genealogists with connections in Ireland: the 1926 census went public today at https://nationalarchives.ie/
Republic of Ireland (Irish Free State) only - the 1926 census returns for Northern Ireland were destroyed during WW2.

I started out with BASIC using coding sheets. We had to send them by post then got the punched cards and the results from the first run about a week later.

Maybe just the feedback is missing.
Even if I don't always click Boost or Favourite, I read all your toots.
I read your blog when you toot a link, but I don't post comments there.
I'm way behind with your books, but trying to catch up.
So maybe here is a good place for connecting with readers.

Is Go the modern unicode version of APL?
Does Go allow the em-dash in identifiers?

Sorry to hear that. I remember watching the charcoal-lighting videos many years ago.

Glad to know that dmr's home page is still being preserved, even though it tends to move around from time to time. Currently it's at Nokia.

Paper books have some advantages:
- they don't need recharging
- they work when the electricity supply fails (see parent toot)
- they don't suddenly vanish on the whim of Bezos or some other billionaire
- when you no longer need them you can donate them for a good cause
