Been a freelance dev for years, now beginning a "sabbatical" (love that word).
Planning to do a lot of learning, self-improvement, and projects. Tech-related and not. Preparing for the next volume (not chapter) of life. Refactoring, if you like, among other things.
I'm excited.

It's Leslie Lamport giving the closing keynote at SCaLE a few months ago. It's title was "Coding Isn't Programming".
I really enjoyed it. And as someone mentioned in another comment, he's got a fun sense of humor. I was there in person and got to meet him and exchange a few words after, which was cool.
Watch the first 2m10s and see if it hooks you.
They've launched pre-orders for a physical set, but you don't need that in any way to play.
Or in other words..
Person and many other person do thing in place before, like thing big big. Many good-feel. Person want do again many many, and want other many person do same.
Before, person-do-thing in think-place, no in real-place, but person-do-thing make-person want make real and hard thing. Person want have real thing before many other person?

Overview took me into the content, which has a sidebar; I scrolled to the bottom of that and found the link to the page. It took me a moment to realize it did show that info about the author/contributor.
I agree it should be easier to find, e.g. an About link in the main nav.
One reason I remember it is the implicit assumption that one couldn't transcribe a digital essay onto physical paper.
The other reason is because it seemed strange to call it "downloading" when I was imagining a web page. Aside from the possibility that it was downloading a non-HTML document file, "downloading" didn't feel right for "visiting a web page", even though of course it is downloading in a more technical sense.
Like "streaming", downloading a web page into your browser's memory isn't saving it to long term storage.

I posted about this on last month's thread, and mentioned in a descendant comment that I was going to PyCon US in May. Someone well-meaning asked if tech conferences are in tune with working on myself. I just got back from PyCon. Yes! It was an incredible experience. Not for learning technical things from talks – the talks are mostly online already – but for the social and community aspects.
1. Regarding "minimal costs" of notifications, the project lead said in an HN comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38661960) from when this was announced, "The problem statement is not that we need to fund the costs of delivering push notifications. We need to fund the costs of building Zulip -- the server, apps for every platform, support for a vast range of different self-hosted configurations, etc." That was on the announcement thread on HN, so you can find more from him and other commenters there.
2. They offer free plans (for the app/service itself, and also just notifications if you're self-hosted) for lots of non-commercial organizations (including open source projects and communities). Discounts for larger non-profits and others. The info is prominent on their pricing page: https://zulip.com/plans/
3. There's a discounted plan for just mobile notifications.
Here's their original announcement post, with an update linked to from the top: https://blog.zulip.com/2023/12/15/new-plans-for-self-hosted-...
* It's not about computers and them (Liz and Werner). It's about Cosmo.
* Computer dating is about algorithms and pattern matching. Cosmo didn't have any suspicion of Liz and Werner going on a date; even if he saw a type-mismatch, humans are complex and multi-faceted. But when he learned a computer program ostensibly made the match, his alarm bells went off.
A couple of scenes:
Carl: We've got customers.
Martin: Shoes?
Carl: Expensive.
Martin: *fixes tie* Look busy, guys.
*after apparently inconveniencing Liz, the group is walking out*
Cosmo: We'll call you a cab.
Liz: "Thank you. This is my last computer date."
*Cosmo stops walking, falling behind*
Cosmo: "Wait."
*the group stops and turns*
Cosmo: "A computer matched her with him? I don't think so."
*Liz's face falls as Cosmo's henchman start slowly walking up behind her.*
*dramatic music as we cut and zoom in to Cosmo's face*
Cosmo: "Marty."
*Cosmo turns and runs toward his office*One version involves sending money to someone with the PayPal account (so the target might think it was sent from their own account) with a "note" to the transaction recipient, which the target sees, which says PayPal has detected unusual activity and please call this phone number to request a refund.
Another involves a "Your ITEM NAME order is on its way" email where the item being ordered is called something like, "Some Company, Inc: Don't recognize the seller? Call us at SOME PHONE NUMBER".
A third is like the second, except it's a "You paid CURRENCY to SELLER" email. This one has the PayPal user's name at the top, so not as convincing perhaps.
