No, the bottom of the page says they subcontract production. So it's an infomercial for a company that markets sweaters they may or may not design. And they disclose that in the article, if very subtly.
Not at these prices :-) $150 - $200 for a sweater is not cheap. I think of fast fashion in terms of "how many times do I have to wear it to get my money's worth?" If the answer is less than the number of times I'd wear it in a year, it's fast fashion. Of course, if you're a thrift shop shopper, most fashion is fast fashion.
Nice idea, but "small composable programs" includes R scripts? That's great if you're already using R, a bit much to install if you're not.
You could simplify things by cribbing from the Hacker's Diet (https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/) and using an exponentially weighted moving average as your filter. 10% of today's weight + 90% yesterday's EWMA. That's almost a one-liner in awk or perl, or a simple function in bash.

There shouldn't be any burden of portability for the one writing small tools like these.
You're free to rewrite it, of course, but expecting someone to go out of their way to stay within the unix/posix/whatever environment seems a bit much given the context of an unpaid endeavor.
Redundant Network Connection / VPN / Better Home Network
Noise cancelling headphones / earbuds
Cheap laser printer
Power protection
Thunderbolt dock.
Enough charger ports so everything can charge at the same time overnight.
UPS if needed. Sized to cover your network gear also, unless you're going to tether to your phone during an outage. Personally, if my neighborhood lost power and I had to work, I'd head to a cowork spot or coffee shop.
Sound deadening if you have roommates, young children, or loud pets. It's not just for telemeetings if you are easily distracted.
It's unfortunate election insecurity is only an issue when the other side wins. Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) were quick to label the claims about Biden's anomalous win in 2020 including irregularities in Georgia, Arizona, and Colorado as "conspiracy theories"; Red State Republicans only investigate voting irregularities in Blue cities. Take Texas - It's possible cheating only occurs in the counties around Houston, Austin, and Dallas, but if that's the only place you look, it's the only place you'll find it.
Yes, but there's something to be said for setting up the pieces for a big win too. I don't think electronic machines should be anywhere near an election. These machines should have been airgapped, but now it turns out the UPS (power supply) is a RAT? Crazy. It should all be with paper.
My wife was a great example of this. She was an undergraduate math major, then went on to get her master's and PhD in engineering. The first year of the master's was largely remedial engineering courses - statics and dynamics, thermodynamics, controls, simple electrical circuits, etc.
I asked if she found them difficult. She quipped, "If you already know the math, it's just nomenclature."
As a sophomore, I took the "barrier" physics intro for my distribution requirement. Sunday night before our first Monday morning exam, I found my professor in a phone book (1970's) and phoned to ask for an extension, explaining that I hadn't started studying. Denied.
That test was just multivariate calculus I'd already aced, with funny names. I got one of the top scores in the class. So I decided to study an extra hour next time, just to be responsible. Oops! I flunked a test that was differential equations with funny names.
I didn't really learn ODE's till Columbia assigned me to teach them as an assistant professor.
No, I had the same strategy in computer science, foreign language, and elective courses. CS? The first week of the class, I'd read the entire language manual. I wouldn't understand everything, but when a concept was explained in detail, I had a context and baseline familiarity to orient myself.
In foreign language and elective courses (such as history) doing the reading before the lecture meant I could focus on what the lecturer thought was important rather than absorbing new information.
I had a similar strategy as a youth. It definitely makes for a more relaxed education (or gave me a buffer for when the homework becomes really hard and my youthful irresponsibility put me behind).
Now I've gone back to grad school (30 years later) and I also have kids (older but not completely ignorable :) and a job and a wife I am determined to keep happy, so I have to optimize for time, so I'm mostly going into lectures blind except for whatever foreshadowing "motivation" they've done, so it's a constant stream of completely new stuff, but a lot of "wow, that's cool" moments.
Check your state laws. Here, there are a variety of liens available to enforce a small claims judgement. While foreclosing a real-estate lien requires an attorney, the process begins with a debtor's examination. Being called in to court to explain your finances convinces many people to pay up.
I read that book in 1985, and heartily recommend it. I was blown away by Reid's observation that in another era, Kilby and Noyce would be more famous than Edison. Reid notes the reason for that is ironically, their invention unleashed such a flow of information that their contribution was lost in the deluge! Despite Kilby winning the Nobel Prize for Physics, and Noyce founding Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, most people have never heard of them.
Are you looking for semiconductor technology specifically, or technology journalism about information technology?
A similar bit of technology journalism is The Soul of a New Machine, Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize winning account of the design and development of Data General's MV/8000, a 32-bit upgrade to their 16-bit Eclipse. It's more a tale of the people and process than an introduction to computer design.
Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology by Chris Miller is more history, economics, and international relations than semiconductor science. It's about how US dominance in computing and communications led to military and economic power from the Cold War to the present. There's extensive discussion about how semiconductor technology accelerated that dominance, and how China sees semi technology as key to competing with the West.
