Bureaucracy is Eating the World
Disclaimer: This is an opinion piece. It is also a long one, because the subject is too tangled to compress without losing the thread. I have tried to look at the matter from different perspectives and include the strongest counter-arguments where I saw them. As this write-up had been in the works for a very long time, some of the referenced data isn’t the absolute latest data available today, which however does not impact the underlying message.

The circus freaks of open source
The masterwork of Terry A. Davis is his eclectic operating system, TempleOS, which he worked on until his tragic death in 2018. In terms of technical excellence, TempleOS rates well in some respects and poorly in others. For example, it earns the achievement, coveted in OS dev circles, of being self-hosted.1 TempleOS is written in Terry’s own bespoke dialect of C and includes an editor, interpreter, and compiler, as well as a number of original games.

The 80Retros x HMX Monochrome have been with me for a while, ever since I picked them up back in Seoul. The switches stand out from the rest of the 80Retros lineup as they don’t ship in a film canister, and they have a fairly boring black and white colorway.
The 80Retros x HMX collaboration comprises of a handful of linear switches, amongst others the KD200 (a Kodak-yellow homage), the FJ400 (a Fujifilm-green homage), the GAME...
