Last Notes npub19kty68y95duff4hxp5xhx468e7ljaf03r7yejl9kz499jfws8zsqdet8zs Mᴀʀᴋ VᴀɴᴅᴇWᴇᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ Today's quest for knowledge: In "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter", Sherlock Holmes visits his brother Mycroft at The Diogenes Club, a rather peculiar club for those who those who have no desire to converse with their fellow men. But it's not clear to me how (presumably) the philosophy of Diogenes the Cynic (to the extent that I know anything about Greek philosophy) makes the name particularly apt. Can anyone spell it out for me in a better way? #sherlockholmes npub19kty68y95duff4hxp5xhx468e7ljaf03r7yejl9kz499jfws8zsqdet8zs Mᴀʀᴋ VᴀɴᴅᴇWᴇᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ One thing that #woodworking teaches me is to _slow down_. The urge to make progress and get things done is at the heart of people's work ethic, but it is often a recipe for waste and poor quality in woodworking. Or everything else, actually. npub19kty68y95duff4hxp5xhx468e7ljaf03r7yejl9kz499jfws8zsqdet8zs Mᴀʀᴋ VᴀɴᴅᴇWᴇᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ Why is it when a basic living wage is discussed, all we hear is "poor people will be lazy if we pay them more" but when a billionaire asks for $46B in compensation, it's all "he'll work less hard unless we pay him more"? npub19kty68y95duff4hxp5xhx468e7ljaf03r7yejl9kz499jfws8zsqdet8zs Mᴀʀᴋ VᴀɴᴅᴇWᴇᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ I recall having a bunch of the InfoMagic slackware disks. But by then I was already firmly in the Unix universe: I recall booting FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 from floppies.
