Ask HN: Remote island can only have 1 PC, 1 book, 1 programming language

2•kbrannigan•5h ago
Imagine being dropped on a remote island for 1 year with a solar-powered laptop, zero internet, you can only bring one book, and can choose any one programming language and you may find some e-waste ?

What do you pick, and what do you spend 12 months building ?

Don't think there'd be much point building something under those circumstances, other than being bored.
kbrannigan•4h ago
But what if you were ask to at least 1 commit per day?
benoau•3h ago
You're disconnected so how would anyone know what you did or didn't do?

And if there were expectations on how you spent that time, why would they equip you worse than if you went to Antarctica or Mars?

A book on 'How to Build a Raft' and 12 months to build one seems doable. All I need is a little javascript and a few games to play on the laptop to pass the down time and I'd survive.
