I was asked to share my views on 3D printing as strategic industry for @LBC. Today, 3D printers are no longer just hobby tools - they build prototypes, medical devices, drones...
The key question is: can we afford to use unsecure tech? ⤵️

The greatest lie the 80s told young computer users is that programming would be as magical an experience as the programming textbooks of the 80s promised.
The cover for "Dragon Magic: Your First Programming Book," a book about programming the Dragon microcomputer. In it, two kids are flipping through a book and typing into a , while behind them, a minotaur wields an ax, a dragon breathes fire, and a pair of spaceships engage the dragon. To the bottom is the author's name, Richard Wadman, and to the bottom-right is the logo of Dragon Data, reading: "DRAGON DATA APPROVED"

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Picked up a Spike Milligan paperback today. The Little Pot Boiler, 1963, a collection of poems and sketches and silliness.

This brilliant two page spread made me guffaw too loudly in the charity shop.
On the left page an old fashioned 19th century engraving of British soldier losing a war. One soldier is pointing to the page on the right and shouting “that page looks quieter!” The page on the right is empty. Not even a page number.

The Fermi Paradox: How Natural Nuclear Reactors May Have Created Life on Earth

Could the origins of life on Earth trace back to a natural nuclear reactor? Long before humanity split the atom, nature itself may have done it first.

In 1903, a progressive woman named Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie designed a board game she called The Landlord's Game. Her goal was to show the world the dangers of monopolies and unchecked wealth concentration.

(from "The Secret Rules of the Terminal", out now! wizardzines.com/zines/termin...)
redirect to a file: cmd > file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to file.txt, error out to terminal emulator append to a file: cmd >> file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to file.txt (append mode), error out to terminal emulator send a file to stdin: cmd < file.txt file.txt into program, program out and err to terminal emulator redirect stderr to a file: cmd 2 > file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to nowhere, err out to file.txt redirect stdout AND stderr: cmd > file.txt 2>&1 terminal emulator into program, out and err to file.txt pipe stdout: cmd1 | cmd2 terminal emulator into program 1, 1 out to program 2 via pipe, 2 out to command line, program 2 out 1 and 2 to terminal emulator pipe stdout AND stderr: cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2 terminal emulator into program 1, 1 and 2 out to program 2 via pipe, program 2 out 1 and 2 to terminal emulator three gotchas cmd file.txt > file.txt will delete the contents of file.txt some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this but I just have “never read from redirect to the same file” seared into my memory. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn’t write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do: echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt or sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt' cmd 2>&1 > file.txt doesn’t write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do: cmd > file.txt 2>&1 cat vs < I almost always prefer to do: cat file.txt | cmd instead of cmd < file.txt it works fine & it feels better to me using cat can be slower if if’s a GIANT file though &> and &| some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr (also some shells use |& instead of &|)

stty

wizardzines.com/comics/stty/

(from The Secret Rules of the Terminal, out now! wizardzines.com/zines/termin...)
your TTY driver has configuration you can see how it’s configured by running: stty -a for example it print out the current window size! Ctrl+S by default, pressing Ctrl+S wi(( freeze your terminal (and Ctrl+Q wi(( unfreeze) I have never wanted this in my life, you can turn it off with stty -ixon (fish turns it off by default) ###fun fact: changing Ctrl+C technically you can use stty to set a different keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+C, (ike “u” stty intr u this is extremely chaotic and I can’t imagine a reason that I would ever do this though programs have to configure the TTY driver to get friendly features developer: I want arrow keys to work in my program! other person: better tell the TTY driver to turn off canonical mode! (more on the next page) the TTY driver’s settings are called “termios settings” for the gnarly details: man termios but if you’re writing a terminal program libraries like readline or ncurses will handle setting up the TTY driver panel 6 smiling stick figure with short curly hair: I’ve only needed to use stty once in the last 20 years and I mostly don’t understand its output but I think it’s a fun view into terminal internals!
