  • I do this with awesomewm. You define window startup behavior in the main config. Applications can have static behavior to start in certain places or will default to "wherever my cursor currently is". I suspect i3 has similar functionality

  • As someone running diffusion and autoregressive models both in my basement and at work, the drive to create open-source models as a method of competition certainly makes me feel like I'm winning as a consumer.

  • There are JS based torrent downloaders. That would work for the normies to get files, but you'd still have to find a way to convince people to host files on the backend. It'd probably take a full-on desktop client wrapper with an embedded torrent client but that's a pretty hard sell for the average nerd if you're upfront, and probably a harder sell if you're dishonest about it.

  • Linux development

  • Building a fully functional SAP system just takes that long in raw install time when your process also includes a sufficiently large system copy, and your hardware isn't bleeding-edge.

    It's a massive application stack

  • Linux development

  • I wrote and maintain a zero-to-working SAP HANA/S4 installer in pure bash.

    It takes a redhat compatible from base install to a working, production-ready SAP system in about 5 hours.

    It's like ~9,000 lines of bash

  • I had an opposing shower thought the other day so I'm going to play devil's advocate on this one.

    I think in a world of rational, good-faith actors (which I'm not arguing we live in), this is both by-design, and optimal at society scale.

    Think about those things you're good at, and the things you're not so good at. I'm really good with computers, my time is most efficiently spent troubleshooting and building technology stacks. This skillset is in demand enough that I make a comfortable living doing it.

    I'm comfortable enough that I have time to learn other skills when needed, but not comfortable enough to hire out all the otherwise commodity tasks I need done. A leak in the roof, a sink that needs replacing, some cat6 through the walls, leveling a floor before replacing broken tile from the 80's... You get the idea. I can do drywall and other general contractor work but I'm not great at it. It takes me longer to end up with a worse end product than a professional, and I don't enjoy doing it.

    Every Saturday I spend doing drywall could, at society-scale, be much more efficiently spent building a k8s cluster or helping a scientist build software for research. Just like the guy doing my drywall should have a me on the other end of a phone when he needs a new laptop, or his mother gets malware.

    When people hit "rich" the unspoken meaning is supposed to be that their time is valuable enough that society deems it more useful to spend it outside of commodity tasks. That seems like a good fundamental design... say what you will about its current real-world implementation.
