Writing code is one of the most fundamental ways of changing your
computing environment. It allows you to mould your environment and
blend it into your mental space. This of act creating a computing
environment can alter the hacker as much as it shapes the technology.
The (void) mailing list is for the discussion of how technology affects the psyche and the soul. We don't evangelise any points of view and we don't take ourselves too seriously. (void) is meant for the sharing of everything from the deep philosophy of unix to idle musing about the net.
Guidelines o Serious discussion and lighthearted chatter are equally as welcome. o We aim to be inclusive rather than exclusive. o That's it. Chill.
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our
thoughts, we make our world."
"If we can dispel the delusion that learning about computers should be an
activity of fiddling with array indexes and worrying whether X is an
integer or a real number, we can begin to focus on programming as a
source of ideas."
"There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We
don't believe this to be a coincidence."
