There's no variety of systems, operating systems, one API set trying to prove that it is better at one task than another. Now it's basically 2.5 platforms and that's it.
Sadly, I don't think the best or even more interesting platforms won.
Definitely no.. much more boring now than 30 years ago.
Definitely no.. much more boring now than 30 years ago.
That is called "growing old". Everything is more fun when you are young.
Today's younglings likely enjoy using WebGL to make 4K 3D webpages more than I enjoyed writing UIs with curses [wikipedia.org] on a VT100 30 years ago.
~35 years ago, I got a Vic-20 for Christmas. It took me an hour to write my first program, including the custom character design. Today, if you got a new Dell laptop for Christmas, you'd be lucky if Windows Update finally allowed you to even *do* anything within the first hour or two. Fuck, even a brand new Xbox One or Wii-U (and probably a PS4) will make you wait at least 30-60 minutes for mandatory updates before it'll allow you to play your first game.
What this guy said.... The barrier to entry for nerdy children is much higher now then it was for me. The sole saving grace for them is the open source community and vast availability of examples and information. But even then, you still need multiple skillsets with graphic design, code, data, story/purpose. Microcontrollers and SBC like Arduino and Pi's making IOT devices is the best way to amaze now.
The barrier to entry for nerdy children is much higher now then it was for me.
This is what my 8 year old daughter did:
1. Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/ [mit.edu]
2. Start coding
Total time to surmount barriers: 10 seconds.
Yeah. This.
There is so much fun around. Yeah, there's also the mundane and the boring stuff, too. People have bills to pay, and sometimes being a meaningless dweeb is how the lights stay on.
But there's never been more real fun. If you don't like code projects for Big Corp, you can get into the mad crazy fun of Arduino, Pi, FPGAs, robotics. SoCs, SDRs, and a myriad other interesting projects.
I've been around since doing 6502s and Z80s in assembler. It's necessary to peel off the layers of cruft and mold that get into one's system when you sit still too long. Coding for secure, optimized code has been increasingly crazy, but if you know your platforms, go for it.
I watch kids doing fascinating things. Truly sophisticated toys that twenty years ago were impossible at any price. My only fear: letting people get controlled by the advertisers and the government, each of whom are power hungry and relentless. Otherwise, if you're bored, break out of your box.
Back in the day we were writing more challenging programs than "Hello, World!". I personally wrote custom parsers, real-time control software (on a PDP/11 running RSTS/E), a numerous problems requiring serious algorithm design. A lot of what I did would be easy to do today because of a combination of computing power, rich libraries, and scripting languages, but doing it all yourself in C with nothing but the (then much smaller) standard library made it pretty interesting.
The big difference is how much closer you felt to the bare iron back in the day. Today we work in the context largely of other peoples' frameworks and libraries. If I had to draw an analogy it'd be like voting in a town meeting in a small frontier town, and voting as a citizen in a republic with a hundred million citizens. In which case do you have the most power? It's not a straightforward question. In a small town you can shape policy in a way you can't in large republic, but you're limited by the limitations of that town itself. You can vote to put a man on the Moon, but it's not going to happen.
The important thing to realize is that as you get older, you just don't have as much fun, pretty much across the board. You have to cultivate playfulness because it doesn't come as naturally as it once did. When I hear people middle aged or older (like myself) pining for a lost past, it's often clear to me that what they're mourning is the loss of their youth.
It's less-fun today, even for youngsters.
Just look at the technologies you listed.
WebGL is just a shitty subset of OpenGL, which actually isn't all that different from SGI's old IRIS GL library from the 1980s.
And they're using WebGL from JavaScript, which was a shitty language back in 1995 when it was first released, and has only very recently seen positive improvements. In many ways JavaScript is still a step back from C89, and even from K&R C!
A lot of what people are doing with WebGL today was done a couple of decades ago when VRML was the big thing, except VRML offered more practical higher-level abstractions.
4K is just a bigger version of 640x480.
They don't even have the benefit of doing this within the context of a real operating system, like IRIX or SunOS. They're constrained to the quite limited and often idiotic web browser ecosystem!
I worked on both IRIX and SunOS. Those machines often ran $20k. There pretty much were no kids involved, those were often reserved for graduate students and even college kids used worse systems. They also were used professionally.
As for Javascript being a step back from C. They aren't remotely related to one another. JavaScript is an interpreted applications language that operates safely cross platform on large computer networks. In the time of IRIX or SunOS interpreted languages were things like BASI
640x480?! That's just a bigger version of 320x280, and I started out with a lot less than 320x280, I can tell you. Bloody kids, next thing they'll be wanting more than 4 bits of colour information in each pixel.
As for VRML, I often use it as an example of why 'open standards' are far from a panacea. It's a truly dreadful standard, created in academia before there were either competing implementations of the problem, or even much of a problem, that actively held back VR and web 3d stuff generally for years. Also a useful example of "worse is better".
Replying here partly in agreement but mostly in wonder about the OP's AC status. If your ideas or opinions are so bad that you don't want to associate your name (or even a handle) with them, then why bother to post at all? I'd make an exception for cases where you are saying something with possible repercussions, but I'm not seeing it in the OP of this thread. (In a sense, it's moot, since my settings render the ACs nearly invisible. It was the quote in the visible reply that exposed this AC.) Incidentally, it doesn't matter in terms of protecting privacy. Slashdot knows who you are, and surely you can't trust the sanctity of your personal information as stored on Slashdot.
Now what's the agreeing part? In the days of yore computers were within the scope of understanding of a single person. The systems were still small enough that it was at least theoretically possible to understand all of how they worked. I thought that was really fun and cool, even if I never got there I enjoyed the chase. I caught just the tail end of that period.
Not sure when the transition happened, but at this time there is clearly no hope of understanding everything about any "normal" machine. Both the hardware and software have passed the human scope of understanding or control. No one has time to look at billions and billions of transistors or millions and millions of lines of code. We have to abstract, and picking your level of abstraction is not the same as understanding the entire thing.
There's also a level of threat and paranoia that cuts into the fun. Maybe part of that is a result of getting old, but I think it is mostly just a matter of experience and understanding my own limitations. I really don't want to be pwned, but all it would take is one juicy vulnerability, and I'm sure the serious black-hat hackers can find one if'n they want to. If a serious hacker is coming for me, I might as well save both of us the trouble and just turn over my passwords now, eh? The best defense is having nothing worth hacking for?
Today's younglings likely enjoy using WebGL to make 4K 3D webpages
I don't know. I'd like to hope that this would be the case, but I watch my 13-year-old son so quickly lose interest with complex computing platforms because it just takes so long to get to where you produce anything that looks like anything you're used to. When I was his age, I could realistically put my C64 into graphics mode and code up something that sort of approximated what professional games looked like at the time. Nowadays, the best he can realistically hope for is approximating what games looke
Because of Windows spying?
Because of Windows spying?
He was just sad that he wasn't bad-ass enough to have the NSA spying on him, just Microsoft. Wait. Now I'm sad too.
That is all.
Back in the day, someone dedicated could learn everything he had about a system, from the CPU, registers, RAM, I/O, video, etc. It was relatively simple.
The only way to get that same "cool and fun" feeling is to dive into the 8-bit microcontrollers such as the ATmega328P. Even the latest Arduinos have become too complex with their ARM SoC.
Look on hackaday.com, there's often fun projects based on those basic, entry-level, sub-100MHz 8-bit uC.
> Back in the day, someone dedicated could learn everything he had about a system, from the CPU, registers, RAM, I/O, video, etc. It was relatively simple.
And fully documented, in a real manual.
Basically I think you said what I wanted to say better than my earlier comment, but I am going to disagree with you on the grounds that the understandable systems have become toys. I used the qualifier "normal" in my comment to refer to non-toy machines, but I could also say that your approach is to limit the level of abstraction.
You already got the "insightful" mod you deserve, so in this case my lack of mod points doesn't even bother me... (Now to see if there are any actually funny comments...)
In 1975 I opened the "memory drawer" on the Wang 3300 and I saw this array of "donuts" with wires running through them.
I stopped trusting computers when I could no longer see the bits (both as magnetic memory, and paper tape).
Cool is about pushing the boundary and enjoying experiences which are decades away from mass production. A desktop is not going to be super cool in 2016. Arduino controllers to operate hand wired power windows in your home might be.
You can get very open and hackable Linux / Chromebook+chrouton desktops and laptops, but you may be hard pressed to get them to do anything which is not already widely available.
It never was that great.
If you're a gamer, you are going to be forever at the mercy of the game companies, who are going to exploit their customers to some extent to maximize profit.
If you are a hacker, you have your own hacker-produced computing platforms and tools and a wide-open vista of hardware and physical objects that can now be designed and manufactured by the individual.
If you depend on some company to make everything you use, you've set yourself up to be their "client". Don't do that.
While all true, people seem to forget how hard it was to get software before the internet, especially if you were a kid with no money. These days you can download vast amounts of high quality software, and its source code to tinker with. In some respects we are a lot better off now, and when you had to rely on friends, clubs and magazine cover disks/tapes.
On the other hand, we are definitely a lot further removed form the inner workings of computers now. There is a massive amount of abstraction, which is kind of good for a lot of purposes but also very much encourages people not to look too far beyond really high level library functions. The lack of hacking friendly ports on the hardware side is a big issue too.
But then again you can get a pretty good oscilloscope for peanuts now, so in some ways hardware hacking is a lot easier than it used to be to get into. We don't have those great kits you could buy from magazines any more though, and while people like Adafruit do offer some interesting stuff it's more Arduino level plugging modules together than figuring out why your transistor biasing isn't working.
Personally I like the older stuff. Emulators are great for it actually - back in the day I used to reboot my computer about 900 times a day as I was trying to debug assembler (didn't have a single step debugger and of course no memory protection) and figure out what the hardware was doing, and emulators make it much easier.
people seem to forget how hard it was to get software before the internet, especially if you were a kid with no money
I agree, and this goes double for hardware. I grew up with minimal access to computers at home or school. When I stayed with relatives over holidays, I'd spend every possible minute on their computer, but then most of the year I had no access to any computer, let alone any manuals or software. I contented myself with books from the local library, but in 1984 (when I was 13) there wasn't much available. I learned 8080 architecture and machine language, and ANSI C, by reading about them in books, but I didn'

What about all the Open Source and even Free Software video games out there? Sure, they are grossly outnumbered by their commercial counterparts, but some of them are actually very high-quality. There's enough of them to where one could reasonably waste all their time never playing anything else.
yes its fun - Arduinos, Rpi, fpga with fricken Arms embedded

> many "basic freedoms" of the old-school computer nerd are increasingly disappearing
There is an organization devoted to computer freedom called the Free Software Foundation, closely allied with GNU. GNU makes most of the operating system we call Linux.
> Software is available to rent only now (e.g. Photoshop)
There are several alternatives to Photoshop which use free licenses, meaning licensees that respect freedom. None of them do everything Photoshop does in the exact same way Photoshop does it, but for any *particular* Photoshop user, there's probably a free software package that fits their particular needs well.
> Windows 10's spyware aspects made him give up on his beloved PC platform and that he will use Linux
Linux is certainly one way to avoid Windows built-in spyware.
> viruses, ransomware, hacking, crapware
That's 99% Windows too, Linux desktop users see viruses and malware very, very rarely - maybe once every 15 years.
Linux isn't perfect. It does however address most of the concerns mentioned.
None of those complaints have anything to do with either "cool" or "fun". Most of those complaints are something that the common user doesn't give a shit about and thus has no impact on "cool" or "fun".
Slashdot - News for nerds. I take it Mr. Garbz isn't a computer nerd. What type of nerd are you, anyway?
Also it occurs to me that some of the hacking "cool" flavor that the OP mentions may now be found around the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other hobbyist platforms.
computing, music, whatever was better back in the day.
No, it wasn't better. It was much, much worse. It was so rudimentary you could actually start at:
10 PRINT "Hello World"
There's no doubt that a chain saw is far superior to a hand saw. But if I was interested in saw-making and how saws work it'd be an awfully lot easier to build a hand saw from scratch, all the way down to forging the blade, fitting the handle and giving it teeth. In fact it's often an inverse relationship between how hard it is to make and how hard it is to use, like an automatic gearbox is more complex than a manual gearbox. As progress means that we build more and more advanced and complex solutions, the more it is out of reach for the hobbyist. I could almost make something similar to commercial games on the C64 because many of them were actually written by one man in a garage. Today you look at $100 million dollar titles and realize that even if you did this professionally you'd be one little cog in a very big wheel.
It's in the nature of advanced civilization, we're all doing a very small part. I depend on other people to produce the food I eat, the clothes I wear, the hot and cold running water, the electricity, the car and the roads etc. and all I do really is program computers and trade for everything else. That means I know a lot about that and very little about the rest. Or I could train for the post-apocalyptic society were I have to survive using whatever crude means I can pull off on my own, but life is short. I think I'll just take my chances and if shit hits the fan contribute to the rapid de-population back to an agrarian society.
I have this conversation periodically, except it is usually addressed to music, art, tv, sports, or any of a number of topics. It's like those guys who see a high school girl now and say "Man, they did not look like that back in my day".. yes, they did. It's just that when you saw them then, you didn't see a cute blond, you saw the B***h from social studies.
There are many exciting things going on now. I am looking at how quickly and massively raspberry pi's have been moving into area where their creators never thought they would be used. I see arduinos and the maker movement and think "Wow". Just a look at adafruit or any of a hundred other sites and the amount of very affordable tech is staggering. We could stop all tech development now and it would be centuries before we explore all the possibilities of what is sitting on the desk in front of us.
I met someone at a coffee shop awhile back and there was a bunch of teenagers acting like teenagers. My friend is now in their mid-30's. I am in my 50's. I had first met them when they were a teenager at a coffee shop. My friend commented that they were not like that back then and I pointed out that I was their current age when we first met and yes.. my friend was just as dumb and teenagery back then.
Excitement is never external. You can look at any family pic taken at Disneyland and see the scowling goth kid who is totally not having fun. OK. You have given up windows as the programming platform and gone to Linux and Android.. So? You did not start programming on Windows. You started on other platforms and moved with the times.
But, that is not what you are complaining about..
What catches my attention is that *none* of your computing complaints are really computing complaints. They are consumer complaints. You should not be doing this comparison back to their early 80's equivalents.. televisions with 3 channels. Radio. Vinyl records. Newspapers. Magazines. Computing is more than fine right now. It completely rocks. Consumer products are far greater than what they were.
I have thought the same thing.
Of course there are a few fundamental differences between then and now from my point of view:
1. I was a young teen and had tons of time (and energy) on my hands to play with these things.
2. Everything you learned you figured out on your own or as a group share with close friends, supplemented with a few manuals and magazines.
3. The hardware was finite enough you could basically learn everything from the low level access to the hardware to all the software features (basic or machine language). You could literally learn what every location in IO or memory did (53281 anyone??).
4. With a few days or at most weeks time with even modest skill levels you could put together something that could "wow" your friends and perhaps even non-computer family members.
5. Atari / TI / Commodore computer overnight parties where a bunch of us get together to compete to show off the best games etc. in an attempt to prove we had the best platform.
Today we have a lot more learning resources out there, and the hardware is much more powerful but in my mind it just isn't as fun. There is certainly no way to whip up something that would "wow" anyone. It's more a tool now than a fun hobby.
I agree. Assembly code, trap vectors, hardware interrupts, blitters, custom chips, etc. Exploring and figuring out how to use computers and their internals were difficult, time consuming, and ultimately very rewarding once you got it to work. Today's easy access to information for anything changed everything and IMHO killed some of the joys of exploration.
-- This sig reserve the right to refuse service to anyone
Exactly that.
I was going to liken it to doing levels for games like Doom.
Back in the day, with QERadiant and an illegitimate copy of Photoshop, you could whip up a sweet little PVP quake level even with some custom textures in a half a day. And it looked fine, was fun, everyone was happy.
Now, with the AAA level standard we're all used to, anything you do in a half day is going to look like complete shit, for textures you practically need an art team, and you're going to spend weeks building the sorts of de
Spot on!
"and that the current VR trend arrived a full decade later than it should have"
No, VR can die in hell with Betamax, MiniDisc, and 3D TV.
This weekend I spent some time improving my personal installation of SOGo groupware, so that my wife and I can better share email, calendars, and contacts on a system that we personally own.
Certainly, big companies don't respect users, but it's still possible to provide all of the services that I need using only Free Software, so I do. Pretty much the only exception is navigation, for which I use Google Maps. Everything else we do with Free Software and the more I move my wife to our own services, the happier she is. Personally, I find that immensely gratifying. As long as that continues, I'll find computing as cool and fun as ever.
Dealing with crap like systemd.
Learning a new language, you don't just learn the language. you learn the build system, sopme complicated IDE plugins, some decent libraries, but most are hack together messes etc.
One example illustrates it all: Javascript.
The only platform that you can still get the hood open now is Linux. I personally prefer Arch Linux or OpenWRT depending on the hardware and expected use for a project.
But even with Linux you need to choose carefully as vendors work to close even the many products built upon Linux. Just buying hardware with Linux doesn't mean it's open enough to be useful for example: Android as generally sold. AOSP is the exception.
If you want to intro someone to "old skool" look at the Raspberry Pi platform or OpenWRT. NO
Developing GUIs for databases on Windows 10 is not going to be fun and cool. But that existed back in the 80s, it was COBOL on mainframes.
If you want it to be fun then you have to pick something fun, which usually involves one of the small boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, adding some motor control... This is what I do. These small systems are all quite digestible and have stuff built in we would have killed for, and you can make actual things which do things, be they useful or just playful.
Or you could develop games for a classic system - there are still people doing homebrew games for all the old systems like Megadrive, Speccy, Apple ][, C/64, Lynx, etc etc. Or there's RPGMaker.
There is so much awesome stuff going on right now from Arduino-like Maker stuff to drones to GPU power to deep learning to VR - I just got excited about a cheap tiny little camera component (neeeerd).
So when you say 'computing isn't as fun and cool as it used to be' you mean YOU aren't as fun and cool as you used to be - and who is, besides Betty White? Not me. But that's what really happened, don't blame it on computing. You let your skills decay, didn't keep up to date, don't get excited by new stuff, and are too lazy to even keep up with what you knew how to do. The C64 is still thriving if you thought it was more interesting than watching sports or, oh hey, Westworld is on, I'll start tomorrow.
I lamented that the hardware industry still hasn't given us anything resembling photorealistic realtime 3D graphics, and that the current VR trend arrived a full decade later than it should have.
This is the sort of complaining that has no place on a 'news for nerds' site - if you want it, build it. If you can't build it, don't bitch that others haven't done it as quickly as you wanted. I don't think OP submitter was the one working on the VR judder problem or the high density screen refresh problem or any of that. This sounds like a bunch of dipshit 'enthusiast' friends from the 80s that only ever dipped a toe in the industry and didn't actually end up building anything they wanted over the thirty years of their careers
Remember when space was the coolest? [youtube.com]. For a significant portion of Slashdot's demographic, the answer is "no" because they're not young any more. Younger people are probably dabbling in Maker stuff and might be wondering why this question is being asked.
Another said that Windows 10's spyware aspects made him give up on his beloved PC platform and that he will use Linux and Android devices only from now on
Sounds like someone is in for a rude awakening about Android [stackexchange.com]. (I think Win10 is worse than stock Android re:data collection, but if your primary concern is privacy...)
As to the question itself: It absolutely is, for varying definitions of "cool" and "fun". I'm a 90s kid (so many things I have to remember) so I didn't cut my teeth on a C64, but as a youngli
Declining SAT scores were a big topic of discussion in the 80s and 90s, but what most people never really took into account was that in the 50s most jobs only required a high school diploma; by the 80s more people felt they needed to have a college degree. The decline in scores didn't reflect a decline in ability of graduating high schoolers, it reflected more of the lower-performing graduates taking the test.
I've been in the computing field for a long time. When I went into it back in the early 80s most people had never seen a computer. There were a very small number of people who worked with computers, and I'd say about half of them were doing at least moderately interesting stuff. Today there are many many more people doing interesting stuff, it's just that the growth in interesting work has been swamped by a rising ocean of mindless, bureaucratic IT drone work.
Take application development. Pioneering has been replaced by engineering. Great for making complicated and reliable products, not so great for empowerment of the individual. Software engineering tends to be teamwork. Depending on how "standard" the required end product is you can parcel out the interface design, the overall apllication design, the datastructures, the core algorithms, data management, and housekeeping. Could be 3-50 software engineers in a team. Used to be 1 programmer doing all of that.
Take high-performance programming. It used to be an art. Found e.g. in DOD stuff, scientific software, and games. Often in assembler, for speed. Nowadays that's mostly out. Certainly for scientific software. You use compilers of even scripting languages that call libraries to do the heavy lifting. You're quite unlikely to do better than the library builders. If you're writing some really new algorithm, you'll code it in C/C++. If absolutely necessary, you can make that code tunable (array stride, blocksize, etc.) and write an algorithm to optimise those parameters for your specific hardware (like e.g. BLAS). If it's too slow, buy better hardware. If it's still too slow, get access to a Hadoop cluster and parallelise your algorithm.
Take datacommunication. In the early days datacommunication meant controlling some UART and sending squiggles down a wire. Now it's calling a packaged protocol stack and talking to the appropriate protocol layers. More often than not that's the connection or session layer or higher
As for computer users as clients: the nerdy types are dying out. What today's consumer wants is things like smartphones and tablets. And what do they want it for? To surf the web (shopping, news, amusement (e.g. video torrents, Youtube)), and to waste time on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and various chats. If they somehow want a desktop computer, they'll only know it for the OS it runs. That would be "Windows" or "Apple" (meaning macOs, but Apple users typically don't know that). And that's what the industry is giving them. Want "Basic Freddoms" ? Bugger off and run Linux, you freak.
So, yes. Computing as a product has become commoditised and geared towards the mass market. It's not easy to turn a buck by catering for nerds: the real money is in serving customers. And it shows. Consumer-grade users get a consumer-grade experience plus consumer-grade treatment (read: DRM, spyware, bloatware).
Those who want to play around with a computer however never had it better. For less than 50$ you can get a complete Raspberry Pi system (or a lookalike) that's more powerful than a clunky old PC. For 500$ you can get performance you used to have only on workstations, and for 1500$ you can get the same power you used to need a supercomputer for.
The only thing stopping you is know-how, time and interest. But that's not the industry's fault,
computer games nowadays are tied to internet DRM like Steam
So? Steam in particular is incredibly unintrusive unless you're actually trying to pirate the game, in which case it depends entirely on your definition of "fun" -- if you include the challenge of breaking DRM as "fun," then Steam and friends are far more interesting than "draw a black line on your CD."
some crucial DCC software is available to rent only now (e.g. Photoshop)
Again, so? Admittedly its annoying having to keep re-paying for something, but that doesn't intrinsically lower the functionality of the software. That's like saying your house is crap because you had to m
the 360 doesn't already have Win10-like "features,"
Woops, I its the XBox One these days isn't it? Can you guess which console I prefer? Point still stands though.
I think tech and computing have changed for the worse across the board and often focuses on trivial "look at me!* products and services. For a long time now, it has been the case that a computer wasn't much without network capability, but I'll confess that I am so tired of what has come along (think DDoS, breaches, invasion of privacy, tracking, Ransomware) that I am about to just hang up my computer and spend time with paper books from the library.
20 years ago I would have said it was cool and fun,
... customizing muscle cars in the late 50s.
The bad news is that cars are boring now.
The good news is that cars no longer require tinkering to get them to go.
I've changed out clutches, installed a/c, gapped plugs and points.
For modern cars, I don't know bullshit from wild honey about fixing them.
I'm a retired IT guy and cut my teeth on a TRS-80 I bought in Feb, 1978.
I helped bring in the first network for Mobil Oil.
I programmed Access, Lotus 123 (and later Excel) macros, and crap like that.
I do not miss tho
I am assuming you really meant "computing". Not just desktop programming and gaming like the examples implied.
When I was just a lad, the adults had programming careers that were very fun. They solved complex puzzles, and problems. It was very frustrating but very rewarding. Even growing up, I enjoyed programming which was very much a "figuring things out" topic minus the grease and back pain of former generations.
But today, with more than a decade into adulthood, that topic has become mostly a commodity. Windows, Linux, embedded, or otherwise. Lots of people "program" and most problems have already been solved. It's more a test of google-fu than puzzle solving. As a career it is very boring, trivial, and narrow in the results. There are still positions like before but they are outnumbered 1000 to 1.
So computing in that aspect is no longer fun. Same with hardware, it's all the same. It's all commodity. The gains in the permutations are so minor that cost easily overrides the performance benefits in most cases. This is primarily because hardware has outclassed software. I think software is probably a decade behind hardware now.
But if we switch to micro computers, sensors, and networks beyond just wifi: The glory days of the past still exist. Smart homes, smart gardens, etc are just a few tinkering days away. The common geek has access to fabricate their own custom hardware solutions. Writing the software is still mostly trivial due to the internet, but the ideas and solutions custom to a geeks unique physical world or situation is well with in reach. In this space we are still only limited by our imaginations in defining the problems to solve.
It is still very much FUN!
Is computing cool and fun as it once was? Hell yes.
Does "cool and fun" have anything to do with your friend's privacy, social justice, or borderline tin-foil hat related opinions of their OS and their license agreements? No.
Maybe you need some actual cool and fun friends, or you need to change the question. Computing is more cool and fun than it's ever been. Some mythical issue with your software vendors does not change that. *

Computing is a lot more fun now than it was even ten years ago, let alone twenty, let alone longer. You can still do all the same stuff people did back then if you want; people are still wire wrapping their own computers from scratch, for example. And you can still play the games of yesteryear, through emulation. But now there's a whole bunch of things to do which didn't even exist back then, and furthermore, it's vastly easier to get access to a leg up so that you don't have to do a whole job yourself. For example, it's been reasonably possible to build quadcopters since about the 1990s, when cheap MEMS accelerometers began sampling from Analog Devices, and before they appeared in the Wiimote and people began to reappropriate them. But today you can buy a flight controller or build one out of components or you can buy a MCU board and an IMU board. You can write your own flight control software or you can just download code and write the binary or you can download and compile and optionally customize. You can buy the ESCs off the shelf or you can build your own or you can buy cheap ones and reflash them with superior open-source firmware which you can customize. And this is computing, obviously, since each of these things is a little flying computing cluster. And that's before even getting into making them autonomous. We didn't used to have multi-core computers with multiple GB of RAM and an onboard multi-core vector processor which would fit into a ~5W power envelope to do stuff like that with.
Computing is also a lot more cool than it used to be, which ought to be painfully obvious. It's cool to carry a fancy, needlessly expensive computer around in your pocket! We used to get laughed at just for owning a computer, let alone one you could keep in your pocket. Now you get laughed at if your pocket computer is too old!
If you don't need a scientific calculator to help troubleshoot logic and/or circuitry, it ain't "cool".
of the Commodore VIC-20, C-64 and the all awesome Amiga!
The days of the Amiga were the days of real hardware hacking, building your own SCSI controllers, your own cables. Hacking the Amiga hardware - cutting solder traces and soldering wires to the motherboard to add a toggle switch to toggle between 1MEG chip ram and 1/2 meg chip and 1/2 meg fast ram. Soldering wires to jumpers to switch to NTSC and PAL video mode. Multi-boot rom boards. Burning the whole Amiga 2.1 OS into EPROM and having and Amiga 2000 b
... Yep, not fun and no time and energy like the old days like from the 1980s to early 2000s.
The Atari, Commodore 64, Apple 2... were hobbyist machines generally designed to interest children in computers. Windows 10 machines are generally work machines generally designed for adults who have some objective not related to entertainment that requires computer assistance to accomplish it. The systems you are describing are the ones that killed the DIY kits from the 1970s, they were part of migration away from hobbyist culture in that they allowed kids (and middle class families) and not adult hobby
We have amazing systems and networks today.
Home 24x7 broadband Internet connections with bandwidth 100x of the LANs I grew up hacking together. Computers thousands of times more capable in every way.
Even Grandma's now ancient desktop has an operating system with memory protection, preemptive scheduling, multi-processing and a capable IP stack.
Pocket sized computers now sport capabilities I wouldn't believe myself had someone from the future came back and handed me.
There have been amazing advances in nifty
It's not as roll-your-own as it used to be, but I still enjoy working with computers. The big trend I see causing long term issues is consumerization -- everyone is demanding services that work 100% of the time on their phones, so everything is geared towards that. My big thing is scripting and automation -- making something idiot proof so I can send it out to idiots.
One thing
There's a couple of basic problems the submitter and his circle of friends have here that makes it appear that it's not as cool or fun anymore. The first is that they're old enough to start seeing things that are different from how they were in their childhoods as not as good. The second is that they're looking at the designed to be idiot-proof mass market and expecting to see DIY where you can get your hands dirty messing with the inner workings of things.

No. Mainstream computing is dull and boring and often frustrating.
Yes. Old time computing still exists, it just isn't mainstream anymore, it is fringe. My first computer required being soldered together from a kit. All personal computers required being soldered together from a kit. I think of the C64 as the third or fourth generation of hobby computers. But guess what: I'm still soldering together my own computers. And it's still fun, and it's still cool. It's just that now, what I do is so far from
Forget compiled languages. That's not fun.
We want command based (imperative) languages that can be run in a REPL for fun. BASIC basically fits this.
Take Python as a contemporary example. Now look at how many basic features of interactivity are NOT enabled in an easy way in Python by default: LOCATE, INKEY, SOUND, PLAY, SCREEN, PSET, LINE, CIRCLE, PGET.
Just these. You can't do ANY of these things in Python with a basic install. "Yes," if you have tkinter in your install, you kind of can. But it's hairy and complex. It's not anywhere near as simple or accessible as BASIC. Pygmy makes some of these things possible, but those are further steps of installation away, and the interactivity feels further away.
Line numbers are incredibly simple (read: understandable) as a flow control model. "Why Johnny Can't Code" outlined the problem with mandatory complex abstract control structures.
I think there are basic fundamental missing pieces in the contemporary programming environment, and that the industry is worse for it.

Debates over oil refinery project heat up at NA session
Debates over the long-delayed Dung Quat Oil refinery project, its commercial viability and finance for it heated up at the National Assembly's session on Wednesday as deputies grilled relevant agencies on the time and cost wasted.
Dozens of NA deputies posed questions - sometimes to the tune of harsh criticism - as to who and what agencies should be held accountable for the delay of nearly a decade since the project was endorsed more than seven years ago.
While the majority of deputies voiced approval to push the project ahead, some still pondered if the site in Quang Ngai province was good enough to ensure cost-effectiveness and a profit at length.
The strong-worded questions stirred up the question-and-answer session right after a presentation by Minister of Industry Hoang Trung Hai on the oil refinery project.
A deputy said the gasoline transport cost would be US$30 million a year higher for a refinery in Dung Quat than a similar project in Vung Tau. If the project is to operate for 30 years, the total transport cost will be nearly US$1 billion higher, dampening the cost-effectiveness and thus the internal rate of return.
The site of Dung Quat was planned for this first refinery project nearly a decade ago, as planners argued that such a large-scale project would help pull along the socio-economic development in the poverty-stricken central region.
Deputy Nguyen Ngoc Tran from An Giang remarked that for national projects, the national interests should be the first factor to be considered. Dung Quat aside, the second oil refinery project planned for Nghi Son in the northern province of Thanh Hoa could be a repetition of the grave mistake since the area is not accessible for large vessels, according to Tran.
Deputy Nguyen Duc Dung seconded Tran's opinion, saying the Government should take the bold decision to relocate the oil refinery to another location if the chosen site did not prove efficient.
"The project must be profitable before it can bring about benefits for the surrounding areas," he said.
From another angle, deputy Dang Van Thanh expressed his doubts if sufficient capital could be found for the mammoth project.
The total invested capital is estimated at US$2.58 billion, with PetroVietnam as the project owner contributing US$1.8 billion, according to Thanh.
Between 1997 and now, PetroVietnam has been able to accumulate US$400 million from profit in crude oil export. The corporation has only until 2010, when the refinery is scheduled for commissioning, to raise US$1 billion more, which looks highly unlikely, he said.
Regarding bank credit for the project, only US$250 million has been secured, leaving the balance on tenterhooks as potential creditors will likely charge high rates for a project whose viability is not high, he added.
Despite the heated disputes, the Dung Quat Oil refinery project will get going soon, after the Engineering-Procurement-Construction contract was signed between PetroVietnam and the Technip-led consortium in mid-May.
Minister of Industry Hoang Trung Hai in his presentation Wednesday work would start on key facilities for the oil refinery in July.
The oil refinery will have a processing capacity of 6.5 million tonnes a year, with 5.5 million tonnes to be supplied by PetroVietnam and the rest from imported sources.
"The refinery is expected to create about US$450 million in added value for the country in the future," he said, adding its internal rate of return is estimated at 6.7%, which is acceptable and in line with previous calculations.
The project upon completion in early 2009 will produce 1.8 million tonnes of gasoline, 3 million tonnes of diesel, 300,000 tonnes of LPG, 400,000 tonnes of kerosene and aircraft fuel, 300,000 tonnes of fuel oil, and 100,000 tonnes of polymer-grade propylene.

The 18-year-old has headed out to Raith Rovers.
Glasgow Rangers boss Mark Warburton recently agreed to loan out one of the club's top young talents in order for him to gain regular first-team football.
The player in question was Ryan Hardie. The 18-year-old forward has joined Raith Rovers on loan until the end of the season.
He will be tasked with getting plenty of game time under his belt and helping Raith Rovers take some points off of Rangers' promotion rivals Hibernian and Falkirk.
Speaking to the Glasgow Evening Times about the move Hardie insists this is not the beginning of the end regarding his Rangers career. Quite the contrary, he believes he will come back and fight for a starting berth at Ibrox once his spell at Stark's Park is at an end:
"It is a chance for me to get regular first team football so hopefully I can get in the Raith team and help them do well this season.
"I will get to play against men rather than in Under-20 football and I am looking forward to the challenge.
"The big thing for me was to play at the highest level that I could so that I can show that I can play at the same level that Rangers are at just now.
"I need to prove myself to show that I can be the player that comes on or starts a game. It is a learning curve and I need to show how good I can be now."
Hardie had only featured once for Rangers in the league this season, coincidentally as a late substitute against Raith back in September, despite impressing for the club last season.
He scored twice for Rangers in five league games last term, including an exceptional overhead kick against Dumbarton - so the talent is there.
With some game time at Raith, he should hopefully come back to Glasgow as a star for the future of Rangers.

A little over ten-and-a-half years ago, Gee came home for the last time. It was Thursday, June 7th, 2001. She had been released from the hospital, where she had been since May 28th, Memorial Day, for home hospice care. As I carried her into the house, what she said to me was bittersweet. She said, "I'm sorry Dan, it isn't the cancer that's killing me, but all the complications. I wish I could keep the promise I made to you when we got engaged, but I don't know if I can."
Almost two years earlier, on the twelveth anniversary of my twin's death, Gee got me to propose to her for the second time. The first time I asked Gee to marry me was on our third date, less than two weeks after we had met. Her reply that time was "No, not yet." When I asked her the second time, she said yes, and she also told me that she would never allow me to be alone again as long as I lived, knowing how my twin's death had affected me. When she died, she had thought she was going to break the promise she had made that day, but it turns out that she was wrong.
Somehow, for over ten years since her death, the woman I married has managed to keep her promise. I feel her presence every day, her hear voice in the wind, and see her hand in the weather at work. This may be a strong part of the reason why I generally speak about Gee in the present tense, even ten years after she has passed away. As I wrote in a journal about a week after Gee died, "Mere death is no barrier to a love as strong and true as ours." I guess I was right.
After Gee's funeral, Gee's sister, her friend Woo, my friend Brad and I noticed something strange happening. It never really seemed to rain on us anymore. Bad weather didn't seem to affect the plans we made, regardless of how bad the weather forecast was supposed to be. Gee, who loved and missed the rain from her time in Seattle, had somehow become a weather goddess watching over the four of us.
Now, some people may say that this is just coincidence, but too many of my friends have seen her at work. For example, on a delivery trip from Norfolk, VA to Marion, MA, we were supposed to be hit by one of the worst squall lines in years. A friend of mine was watching our progress on his computer, comparing the satellite transponder track to the doppler radar track of the storm line. Just as we were supposed to get hit, there was a break, about 10 miles wide, in the storm line, centered around where the boat I was on was supposed to cross it. Even more interesting was the radar image off the boat itself. We looked at the radar and there was a teardrop-shaped bubble, where the winds and rain were less severe that followed the progress of the boat as it made its way through the storm front.
There have been many days where the forecast was rather poor for sailing–rain or overcast skies with little or no wind–yet when we got to the marina, we found blue skies with 15-20 knots of wind blowing. On many days, the summer afternoon rains would hold off until I had packed up the car and left the marina. This was so common one particular summer that a neighbor down at the marina asked me to stay for pizza so that the gelcoat he was working on would have time to cure before the rains started. This has become so common, that one of my crew often can tell when I've arrived at the marina by watching the skies clear.
Many of my sailing and boating friends have seen her at work. One friend was getting married in an outdoor ceremony earlier this year. The weather forecast was grim, with a 75%+ chance of heavy rain… I told her I'd ask my beloved weather goddess to intervene, and she had blue skies and sun for her wedding.
One promise I made to Gee was that if her friend Woo was ever to get married, I would be there for the both of us. Well, a few years ago, Woo invited me to her wedding. I had a flight down for the day of the rehearsal dinner, but there was a hurricane sitting over the Newport News region of Virginia, and it didn't look very promising. I went to the airport anyways, trusting to Gee to help me keep my promise to her. My flight was cancelled, and I was bumped onto a second flight, which was also cancelled. I was bumped onto a third flight, the last of the day to Newport News, and it was allowed to take off on schedule.
When we landed at Newport News airport, the airport looked like the set of a bad horror or airport disaster movie. The airport was on backup lighting, with only about one fixture in three working to any degree. There were almost no people at the airport. What I later learned was that we were about the only flight to land in almost a 20-hour window. When I got to the hotel, after driving through a city that looked like a disaster area, Woo asked me how the drive down was, and was shocked to hear I had flown in. As far as she had known, the airport was closed because of the storm.
The next day, Woo and the bridal party were scheduled to take their formal photos at a park a short distance from the church. The skies were solid overcast with a decent rain falling. Woo was worried that the conditions wouldn't be right for taking the formals. I told her not to worry. As her limo pulled up to the park, the skies cleared up and we had mostly sunny skies for taking the formals. It started to rain again just as the photo session was finishing up.
My boat, s/v Pretty Gee, is named for my late wife. It has become, in many ways, the temple for the weather goddess. Gee never saw the boat, since I bought it six years after she had passed away. But, I know she watches over the boat, and over me and my friends. While I can not prove it, there is far too much anecdotal evidence supporting her being a weather goddess, if only for a fairly small, select group of people.
I think it is fitting that I write this particular piece about my late wife on this particular day. Christmas was one of the special times that Gee and I celebrated. It is a time of year about forgiveness, grace, love and family. Gee is still the most gracious person I have ever known. She taught me far more about forgiveness, love and grace than anyone else I've ever met. I hope that before I die I am able to be one-tenth as gracious a person as the woman I married. I'm still not even close to that yet.
Wishing a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and a Happy New Year to all of my friends and family, especially my beautiful and beloved Ellie. May Gee, my beloved weather goddess, watch over you and your families on your holiday travels.

Our last day in Singapore was spent wandering around Chinatown and the markets, enjoying the atmosphere. Chinatown was full of vendors selling all sorts of clothing, including tailors who would make you a personalized suit in 8 hours. It was exactly what I pictured, crowds of people weaving through stores of colourful clothing and strange trinkets all packed in narrow alleys. Singapore itself was an interesting country, in some ways it was very organized, while in others it was not. For example, they have electronic signs all over town stating exactly how many parking spaces are available at various sites. Amazing, since it means you don't end up driving around aimlessly searching for a non-existent spot. However, the concept of a line up seems to be lost on a large number of people, as demonstrated by the shoving match that occurred while we tried to get into the zoo the other day. (Colin was shoved out of the way by a bunch of older ladies).
So now we are in Hong Kong. We wandered around the Chinese food stalls last night looking for dinner. Although English is one of the two official languages, most of the signs were only in Chinese. So, we ended up going into a small, clean and friendly looking place to order a rice dish and noodle dish of their choice. Good food resulted! Today we headed down to the Stanley Market which is basically a ton of stalls selling clothing, trinkets, purses etc. Prices were really cheap, I got a little silk dress purse for $20 Hong Kong, which equals about $2.50 Canadian. No clothing however, sizes were too small for Colin and my North American hips were not going to fit into the dresses! In the evening we took a shuttle bus to one of the huge shopping centres, the whole area was big name designers so no purchases were made. Walking back to the hotel was a challenge, none of the streets are parallel and the buildings are all skyscrapers so you cannot find a landmark to head towards. Got here safe and sound however!

It's not unusual for a musician to claim a life-changing moment affected his music — but few mean a traumatic brain injury like Atlanta musician Blair Crimmins sustained.
Crimmins is a Gen-Xer who tested a variety of genres while growing up — classical, blues, rock, jazz, even studied jazz — and found success in all of them.
"While playing on a local level with a successful rock group, I got into an accident. After drinking a case of beer, I let my dog pull me on a skateboard and woke up three days later in Grady Memorial Hospital wondering why everyone was standing around looking at me," recalls Crimmins.
While recuperating, he realized he was tired of the music he'd been playing and needed a change.
› What: Blair Crimmins and The Hookers
› Where: JJ's Bohemia, 231 E. M.L. King Blvd.
› When: 10 p.m. today, May 18
› Admission: $10 cover
› For more information: 423-266-1400
Coming up at JJ's
› May 19: BTB, Creature Comfort
› May 20: Elkmilk
› May 21: Mudsex album release party with Genki Genki Panic
› May 23: Adventure Fight
› May 24: Open Mic Comedy
Note: All shows for ages 21 and older.
"I started listening to older jazz records that I hadn't dug into before — early Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, back when jazz was pop music. I started writing in that genre, and it felt perfect to me," he says.
That was 10 years ago, when Crimmins was 27. He started playing coffee shops and singer-songwriter venues while looking for musicians to build a full band.
Within two years, Blair Crimmins and The Hookers had a demo out. He started returning to some of those original haunts he had played as a solo act, this time bringing his band.
Tonight, they'll be at JJ's Bohemia, 231 M.L. King Blvd., for a 10 p.m. performance.
What makes Crimmins' music different is 1) he writes clever, interesting lyrics that have a message, 2) he pairs those lyrics with ragtime/Dixieland music and 3) he ups the ante with a New Orleans-style horn section.
With him at JJ's will be Colin Agnew, drums; Justin Roberts, bass; Darren English, trumpet; Taylor Kennedy, sax; and Daniel Wytanis, trombone.
The band's fourth album, "You Gotta Sell Something," came out in February. The title track has a distinct vaudevillian sound, but the music is paired with commentary on commercialism and product placement.
"I'm not singing about hanging out in riverboats or jumping on freight cars. I just like the sound of that music. It's a sound that still has a lot of energy and connects with people today."
Blair Crimmins and The Hookers have opened for Mumford and Sons and for the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In 2013, Crimmins was named Best Song Writer in Creative Loafing's Best of ATL issue. But he still won't claim he's made it.
"You have fans ... but there's always the next night, when you try someplace new and nobody knows you, and you realize how much work there still is to be done. You're somebody one minute, nobody the next."

Egypt Cancels all Flights, Tourism Ties with Iran
Egypt has announced the formal cessation of all direct flights and tourism ties with Iran. The announcement came Tuesday, with Egypt stating it has ordered an end to all tourism activities with Iran. These had increased considerably during the yearlong rule of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. Whereas deposed Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi tried to improve relations with Iran, seeing it as a natural ally, the new regime is trying to distance itself from Tehran.

Is Your Home a Healthy Home?
How common household chemicals may gradually be making you and your family sick.
It's alarming but true-scientists and doctors have discovered that there is a connection between our health and the use of common everyday household chemicals. If yours is the typical home, you probably use dozens of cleaning and personal care products, purchased at the local grocery store, which contain chemical ingredients that could be harmful to your health and the health of your loved ones.
Since World War II, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of man-made chemicals we use in our homes. The typical home now contains over sixty-three hazardous products that together contain hundreds of different chemicals. At the same time there has been an equally dramatic rise in the incidence of certain chronic health problems. Research indicates that it is more than coincidence that the dramatic rise in these various diseases has coincided with the increased use of hazardous, man-made chemicals in the home.

This collection includes what is for art historians one of Archipenko's most significant works of art.
An interview with Artist Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak
The current exhibition, Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak: Nevermore, explores historical socio-political and environmental interests through the artist's personal search for identity, in light of the recent and prevailing political climate in Ukraine. Curated by Dr. Walter Hoydysh, this is the artist's first solo exhibition at The Ukrainian Institute of America. On the occasion of Ms. Bodnar-Balahutrak's exhibition, which runs through June 21, the Houston-based artist graciously answered selected questions presented by Andrew Horodysky. We are pleased to share this exchange with our friends and wider audience.

Oh Kali, that's so hard. Always listen to your heart on this. We've never known a pet owner to be wrong (and we worked as a vet receptionist for a lot of years)

Kali, We hope something will tempt you to eat. But sometimes we just don't want to. Humans always want to feed us when we don't want anything, but we do need nourishment.
We send purrs and tail wags to you and your mom.
