Multiple monitors displaying data and interfaces line the curved desks in a modern control room with blue lighting and ESA logo on the wall. Several professionals in casual attire sit at workstations wearing headsets focused on screens some gesturing while others type. Wooden panels and control panels with buttons surround the area creating a high-tech operational environment.

Got some pings asking about the new office. It’s getting there!
Two samwho.dev/ping notifications asking me if I’ve moved into my new office yet. A photograph of the new office. I moved from the 3rd floor to the ground floor, still at home. It’s smaller but it’s plenty big enough. The back wall has been painted a dark slate blue colour, and has a large bookshelf against it. There’s a comfy reading chair by the shelves. Then on the other wall is a desk setup with 2 workstations.

Employers are always handwringing about autism accommodations in the workplace and I gotta tell you: ear defenders and quiet workstations are the least of your problems. What autistic people really need is *whispers* for other people to do their actual jobs.

After doing security patching for 50k workstations in a major corporation, I learned that each piece of Adobe software is essentially a mummy. It's a corpse program shambling around all wrapped up in bandages holding it together. Also, never look at the horrors inside the bandages. 🫣

Autistic people need two types of accommodations:

Type #1: Ear defenders, quiet workstations, note taking apps

Type #2: Decolonized workplaces, justice for all, truly sustainable work

Employers freak out about #1 and never even see #2 coming.

That's right, Fred Brooks said in 1987 that automatic programming, AI, graphical programming, and workstations are not going to be the silver bullet for our problems. Because our real problems are complexity, [adoption], changeability, and invisibility.

Wow, after installing #solaris 2.5.1 on my #sun ultra 10, I can really see why people loved these old #unix workstations.

It's so easy to develop some software on this!

I'm currently reading Wicked Problems, Righteous Solutions (1990). I need to share this with you:
22. Wicked Problems, Righteous Solutions Some of them are: Ada and other high-order language advances, object-oriented programming, artificial intelligence, expert systems, automatic programming, graphical programming, program verifica-tion, CASE, and workstations. Fred Brooks considers these as candidates for the title of Silver Bullet. [Brooks 1987] To him, a Silver Bullet is the magical device that saves us from the monsters that our familiar software projects sometimes turn into, just as familiar people were sometimes transformed unexpectedly into werewolves and were laid to rest by silver bullets. But, he says, they are directed at the accidents of software engineering, not the essence of it, and, therefore, cannot have the productivity impact claimed for them. The real issues, he says, are complexity, conformity (and by this he means that software must bend to the arbitrariness of the human institutions and systems to which the software must provide an interface), changeability, and invisibility. To him, the real impact will come from buying versus building, prototyping, incremental devel-opment (grow-don't build software), and great designers.

What did science PhD students get up to when they weren't doing science on their UNIX workstations in the 1990s?

Well, gaming of course!

Come and play some networked (and non-networked) games on a couple of old Sun Microsystems gaming rigs!

(Gaming rigs need lights inside, right?)

this camel has been driving me bonkers while i'm trying to do things at workstations. pushing me out of range, laying on things, etc

..so i put them in the "please leave me alone and spend time with the donkeys" box, but they're still being a little shit about it

Similarly, separate workstations, separate displays, peripherals, isolated vlan for my work devices on my home network (2nd isolated vlan for my partners work devices, too). I even recently went so far as to put all the work stuff on one power strip and collecting energy usage in Home Assistant.

Reposting this from tumblr which was posted from the r/Baltimore reddit
(full text in alt)
A post from the Baltimore reddit page by use Either-Manner-5045 Marked Safety I've been tracking/following federal government contracts for a little over a month now and have reason to believe Baltimore is next (or very close to the top) on the list for ICE raids. The General Services Administration (GSA) posts leasing opportunities to vendors to work with the government on their website and other contracts can be located on SAM.gov. I'll include links below. As of **10/31**, the opportunity, *"Administrative Office Space in support of Law Enforcement Operations Baltimore City, MD"* was posted, requiring 44 office cubicles/workstations. Offers (options for the government to choose from) are due **11/7.** On that same day, Baltimore County was removed from the sanctuary jurisdiction list and has agreed to work with ICE. On **10/30**, another leasing opportunity, "*Administrative Office Space in support of Law Enforcement Operations Hyattsville, MD"* was posted, also requiring 44 cubicles/workstations with offers due **11/7**. On **9/29**, Baltimore City, MD; Orlando, FL; Seattle, WA; Towns of Islip and Smithtown, NY were all included in a leasing opportunity, "*Administrative Office Space in support of Law Enforcement Operations"* requesting 70 workstations each. Offers were due **10/7**. **Chicago and Memphis also had listings requesting space to support law enforcement prior to hell breaking loose. San Francisco had this listing as well.** On **9/23**, a vendor was awarded a contract through ICE for 42,000 Meals Ready-to Eat for a 6 month period to the Baltimore and Salisbury detention centers. 21,000 were to be delivered immediately and the remainder 90 days later. I don't want to fear monger and I'm not professionally well-versed in the world of contracting but, I'd much rather be loud and wrong here than silent and sorry. Compared to other contracts I've been reading, Baltimore has hardly been listed on any until now.

We failed to ever hold Microsoft accountable for anything. We let CP/M die, we let DR-DOS die, we let OS/2 die, we let Unix workstations die, we never let Linux get past a niche, we never let BeOS get past a niche of a niche and then we let it die.
