on: I stopped everything and started writing C again
I find make, cmake, and the other stuff annoying also. For personal stuff I just use a build.sh file. For debugging I use gf2, which is a gdb frontend. Hopefully raddebugger gets ported to linux soon. One nice tool I like on linux for prototyping is the tiny c compiler, because it compiles 7x faster than gcc or clang. It is also much faster than the visual studio compiler. I remember trying to get the tiny c compiler to work on windows; it can compile things, but I couldn't get it to generate pdb files for debug info.

To set the record straight, I was the one that reached out to the creator to get his story, because I thought the cards were cool. He would not have spent the time doing this interview if I hadn't asked him to.

I imagine:
Hardware side: custom card frames and boards.
Software side: cards with custom images and games.

I know of CyberBadge from Poland, which is making a very primitive version of what you're describing. They don't have a screen, just an array of programmable led lights. People use them at events.

I should have asked if he was influenced by Evangelion, because I'm a fan of the show.

Whenever I see a hardware startup that I personally would like to know more about, I reach out.
I have had the most success with messaging people on Hacker News who have mentioned their company. They seem to be the most open. I have also talked to people on Reddit, CrowdSupply, and companies I have seen in the news.

on: A looming copper crunch and why recycling can’t fix it
Does the mining industry need help with software? I was talking to someone with experience in the the oil & gas sector and he mentioned that there is a lot of things that could be automated because scraping data and data entry is often being done by hand.

on: Why New York City Stopped Building Subways
Beyond biting the bullet and paying for the expensive construction costs the only immediate solution I could see is more remote workers and a decentralization of offices away from city centers. Other possibilities might be improvement and adoption of self-driving cars, or better urban planning, yet those seem more unpredictable to me.
