What’s the hardest lesson or lessons you learned manufacturing?

(It seems so unapproachable.)

BooksAndArticles

I’m a third through Vernor Vinge’s *A Deepness in the Sky* and it just warmed up. I didn’t have the same problem with the first book in the series, *A fire upon the deep*. The first book was so good I suppose that’s what motivated me to this point in the second.

I have my own thoughts on why there’s a difference between these books, but I’m wondering if there are certain rules of thumb that accelerate the desire to climb through a narrative. 

Do any writers here know? If there are such rules of thumb, do writers abandon them as a challenge to themselves?

(I find unmotivated context loading the greatest hazard to my reading habit.)

Why are some books hard to warm up to?

Definitely more long form. Check out [~Photography/top/posts/month](/~Photography/top/posts/month). It’s a lot of photo stories.

I suspect they mean companies like [Plaid](https://plaid.com/)? I've never used it after reading the permissions it requests. Maybe this'll cut down on the carte blanche nature of its data grab.

There's lots of TILs, like tabbed interfaces don't seem to be invented (or widely used yet), like in system preferences which uses checkboxes.

> The church is carved into the side of a cliff and to reach it, visitors and worshippers alike have to cross a natural stone bridge with a sheer drop of approximately 250m (820 ft) on either side, and thereafter a final narrow wooden footbridge, followed by a climb up a vertical rock wall depending entirely on hand grips and foot holds (bare footed since it is considered a holy ground) crowned with a walk over a 50 cm wide ledge facing a cliff of 980 ft sheer drop.

@ek or @sox might have better ideas than I. They’ve been thinking about authentication more recently.

If they give you permission, I’m not sure how we’d gate it on our end.

Do they have enough pages do fore-edge art?

They have a [How to run a node](https://lu.ma/wphbb1r0) workshop coming up. Looks like they do a lot of pleb-focused meetups.
