Fanatical Victorian lifestyle activists are quite literally MAKING a Victorian life:

Update:Serious HACKS http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/09/how-highly-advanced-hackers-abused-satellites-to-stay-under-the-radar/
You can build HaskellR in a Docker container: http://www.tweag.io/blog/programming-r-at-native-speed-using-haskell
You can make a language in seven lines of Scheme: http://matt.might.net/articles/implementing-a-programming-language/
You can make a map of RF with software-defined radios: https://medium.com/@BeepLabs/fun-with-software-defined-radios-d547c83a7492
You can make an extra control key from a Yamaha pedal: http://blog.rogach.org/2015/09/diy-control-pedal-on-linux.html
Bonus: We can make a better alternative to HTTP: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNhFJjGcMPqpuYfxL62VVB9528NXqDNMFXiqN5bgFYiZ1/its-time-for-the-permanent-web.html We can make it with Tim Berners-Lee: http://nicola.io/decentralized-principles/2015/

Bonus Postscript: Suppose there was a profession called "maker." What does a maker do? A maker makes things! Dinner. Birdhouses. Pants. Shopping malls. Camera lenses. Jet engines. Hydroelectric power stations. Pianos. Mars landers. Being a maker is a rough business. It's such a wide-ranging field, and just because you've made hundreds of flowerpots doesn't give you any kind of edge if you need to make a catalytic converter for a 1995 Ford truck. ... Everything you build is to a great extent a research project. How do you come to grips with something you have no concrete experience with? By running experiments. Lots of little throwaway coding and interface experiments that answer questions and settle your mind. Writing a PNG decoder, for example, is a collection of dozens of smaller problems, most of which can be fiddled around with in isolation with real code. Any significant app has user interactions that need prototyping, unclear and conflicting design options to explore, tricky bits of logic, API calls you've never used--hundreds of things. Maybe five hundred. And until you run those experiments, you won't have a solid understanding of what you're making. http://prog21.dadgum.com/148.html
