    Lord of the Rings as life advice with Pastor Tim Fox

    A conversation with my wonderful former pastor, Tim Fox. He's leaving me, so I wanted to scrape together some life advice from him before he went.

    Our excellent dystopia with Matt Odell

    Really glad to have Matt Odell as a return guest. Instead of an interview we used this as an opportunity to talk about our wonderful dystopia full of 30 hour battery life, folded proteins, and zero privacy. Enjoy! SHOW NOTES Apple Silicon Mac Mini vs iMac 5K Syncing Bitcoin on M1 Why it's fast Community builds of Visual Studio Code The Verge's MacBook Air review Redox OS with Jeremy Soller (I was trying to remember the word "UEFI") Apple bricks its own hardware Jailbreaking your T2 Mac PopOS PopShop Your Computer Isn't Yours (Matt's right there's no version with 32GB of RAM) @bunniestudios - I can't think of anyone better than @marcan42 to be taking on a project like porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs!

    Local-first and freeform software with James Long

    In classic podcasting style, I managed to frontload this episode with highly technical questions up front and then we slowly morphed the conversation into a more conceptual what-is-the-future-of-computers sort of thing. James is a really wonderful guy from what I've learned over the decade or so I've been following him on Twitter and you should def check out Actual if you're in the market for budgeting software. SHOW NOTES James Long Prettier Actual Budget Stripe Mozilla XUL React Reason rustfmt Silicon Valley season three, episode six The Local-first software manifesto CRDT Clarity Money ewwww Quantified Self Roam "I want Roam to be not just a tool for thought, but a tool for computation" @jlongster Using CRDTs in the wild Jupyter Observable Literate programming Light Table A Visual History of Eve: 2014 - 2018 Microsoft Fluid Framework Project Xanadu If you have 100 hours to read a million words, check out this Wired piece on Xanadu SHOUTOUT Ryan Florence

    Is tech actually good tho

    This is a tough one because I'm fairly undecided. Are we sliding toward an apocalypse? Is too much getting worse to expect anything to get better? Is YouTube actually kind of a great thing? I've been stuck on this long enough that I figured I should just put it out there and let you decide. A lot of different thoughts here but I swear it's all connected. Thanks to ZappyCode for buying a fake ad this week! SHOW NOTES GaryVee still preaches the hustle gospel in the middle of a pandemic "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." @pierre_rochard (quoting Einstein) The pleasure of walking tall YouTube Udemy Melodics Amazon Citi Bike "How often does the software you use on a daily basis (including web apps etc) succeed at fulfilling it's core purpose, without unreasonable levels of friction?" @masonremaley Halo Band

    GPT-3

    No offense to @jayriverlong, but I think his think piece on GPT-3 is kind of dumb: "In a GPT-3 World, Anonymity Prevents Free Speech" So I did a whole podcast about it. Also check out this book: How Innovation Works
