Wait - I saw a link to a Slack chat workspace. Do they have something for Slackware Linux as well?


No, sorry it was that I meant. Also confusing when you are primed to think RedHat -> Fedora -> Slackware :)


MAGiE: Your MAGnetic Interactive Explorer

A simple puzzle game: a cassette-futuristic story, heavily inspired by Nell’s adventures at Castle Turing in Neal Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age”.

I could go on and on...

I’d love your feedback:

Rewind to the start of the story: https://magiegame.com/test/2025/04/04

Or skip to today’s puzzle: https://magiegame.com

Right now I’m focused on story development and integrating it with the daily-puzzle system I built last time I was between jobs.

This is a years-long slow-burn side project. My career moved away from the frontend long ago—this is my first React app, with a Django backend running on AWS Lightsail.

> able to retrieve the footage contained on two 1’ APEX tapes

I'm no expert, but I think they meant 1-inch AMPEX tape.

Also, perhaps they should record it in doubly. #ThisIsSpinalTap #Stonehenge #InchsToFeet


The page now says AMPEX. Did they read your comment?

p.s. I'm imagining ECHELON flagging your comment and someone from the NSA quickly modifying the document on the sly...


Or someone in the NSA reads Hacker News.

Hi, anonymous NSA employee!


haha now we're all on a list, aren't we? shit.


I checked, and my pages-based site was down, but it is back up now.


The logo on the shirt looks like Incredible Universe


But what if it only appears uncontrolled?


People who know how to track this stuff knows if it's uncontrolled or not


Oh! That reminds me of an idea I had once for a “kid-powered computer”. Here is a sketch that I made to illustrate how a disk-drive works: https://flic.kr/p/an8kAA


You don't have any plans, by chance, of designing perpetually-running trains, do you, Wilfred?


I’ve had at least one job where the employment agreement actually mentions intellectual-property exceptions. So, I just brought that up with the recruiter/HR person and they whipped out a form where I describe my existing project. Someone (a lawyer?) reviews it to make sure I’m not competing in the same field as the company and everything was good.


Well that’s just the point: implementation is not worth fifty thousand dollars, but the solution to a business problem probably is.

“Consult”ing with problem-havers and working out how to make the problem go away.


But compare the NeXT Station to the current Mac Pro. This is a similar product with similar use cases and price tag.

The current Mac Pro gets a 9/10 repairability score on iFixit[1]

The iFixit team clearly has not been asked to remove the WiFi from those Mac Pros.
