I never hear "on accident" here in Australia.
A nice visualization!

I was investigating this topic for some time and it turns out that the mortality curve is interesting: grows exponentially in time. In some sense, we start "aging" at the age of 6-8 y.o. (the safest age in Western countries). Plus, there is a bump of mortality in around 20, much more pronounced for males (accidents).

See e.g. https://plot.ly/~PiotrMigdal/11/mortality-rate-by-age-and-ge...
And more info on the exponential growth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz%E2%80%93Makeham_law_o...

No, but we have a similar one - lend and borrow have become interchangeable. "Can you borrow me an X" or "I lended (not even word AFAIK) it from him" is one I hear often from younger folks.
I did a lot of research on learning techniques, especially spaced repetition, a few years ago. I also noticed I'm not great with names, so I wrote a piece of software called Nombre that tracked everyone I met and let me play a spaced repetition game so I could learn names. It basically died when LinkedIn shut down their APIs, but thought I'd share anyways - http://nombreapp.com.

Does anyone here use a personal CRM or contacts database? Would love to hear your thoughts on that type of software.

Perhaps it's just newspeak, catering for the difference between accidents and deliberate "accidents".

Perhaps it evolved from "accidentally on purpose", which was a pretty 90's expression.

> The web has never been more cable for creative thinkers to take it to the next level.

Err, I was doing that with Flash 10 years ago. You might not consider flash part of "the web", but this kind of experiment, is pretty much basic and has been done ad nausea in the past.

The biggest issue being that the tooling is not here to enable people those who are more creative than technical to express themselves without coding with a text editor when it comes to using web techs.

I personally, from a creative background, would never have become a programmer if not for flash and its IDE.

So I'd say, on the contrary , the web today ( and its forced "flat" conformism ) has never been less willing to accept creative thinkers. Everything looks like everything else and somehow anything that doesn't look like the rest is considered bad or useless by UX pundits. The web ain't a creative space anymore.
I can't see any part of the study that distinguishes between the congestion effects caused by cars and buses (or indeed walking and cycling, which the naive speed-optimisation specification of the study assumes away altogether)

This is pretty critical to some of the conclusions: a subway line creates congestion at the ends of subway lines rather than them becoming a logical nexus for bus routes.

There's some side of me that's unhappy to see stats (even as benign as this) being considered. It's not really the idea that statistics will influence content as much as it is about who and how it will influence it.

I've been reading "A Song of Ice and Fire" (the source books for "Game of Thrones"), like a lot of people, for years. That is, I've been reading a book enjoyably for a couple of months and then waiting 5 years for the next one. It's an incredibly intricate and big story spanning a lot of character and geography. It's very big. The author, is obviously a special talent with incredible story telling ability and character perspectives. The talent for getting into characters' heads makes me think he must be a very emotionally invested artist.

Anyway, among all the characters, story, best seller pressure, TV show, and such writing the books takes a long time. He's got a Ford Prefect like relationship with deadlines.

Now.. in my (naive) mind, that's as it should be. A chaotic, burdensome process that (at the end, sometimes) produces art.

TV shows and films are the art of our times. This is not a statement about quality, just about the reach, influence and such. The people who make films are famous and admired. Everyone gets the references and allusions. Almost everyone indulges in it, grows up with it. A lot of people here probably got my Douglas Adams reference, but probably fewer than would have gotten a reference to "Morpheus," even in this biased crowd.

But, movies and television shows are made by big groups of people, money, risk-capital, adult supervision. I'm OK with statistical information about pace, plot or whatnot eventually permeating through the arts. That probably makes the arts better. I dislike the idea of it being used as a mallet in the proverbial committee designing the thing.

I like sausage. I prefer sausage to be made in a nice way. If you insist on both making it in a way I don't want to see and constantly reminding me that I should not look into how it is made… I'll have some beef stew instead.

If you live in the US or Canada and voted for a recent government, this is already on your conscience.

The realization that there's a dirty, dirty underside to our standard of living seems to polarize people. Some dedicate themselves to helping. Some conclude that the world is run by gangsters, so they might as well pick a gang and profit. Most, either never realize or just decide that the problem is too big and they should focus on their own little islands of comfort.

The user interfaces for these are also very similar to those of Microsoft Office, and they work pretty well. One reason might be that, as one Chinese blogger analyzing NeoKylin (link in Chinese) found, NeoShine appears to be based on code originally in OpenOffice, a now-defunct open-source productivity suite.

Why didn't they use LibreOffice?

That focus comes largely from the students. They want/need a job asap. Unlike a college freshman who has 4+ years to learn, and has set aside that space in their lives, it isn't uncommon for a student leaving these programs to be down to their last 30-60 days of savings after this program and need a job immediately.

Anything you teach them that is simply theoretical, you have to fight them to get them interested in. This isn't to say I didn't do it. I taught students basic C, binary conversion, arduino, basic electronics, game programming, noSQL databases, computer science, etc... in various classes. But there was always a group of students who wanted nothing outside of what they would need on the job, immediately.

An industry that will be destroyed or bailed out when there is a large upward discontinuity in life expectancy trends thanks to advances in medicine. There is a very big change going on in medical research at the moment, shifting from not trying to treat aging as a medical condition to actually treating aging and its causes. The difference in outcomes will be night and day; some relevant technologies are transferring out of the lab and into startups even now. E.g. Gensight in France, Pentraxin Therapeutics Ltd in the UK, Oison Biotech and Human Rejuvenation Technologies in the US.

Anyway, pensions and life insurance will most likely be bailed out when the crash comes, and the expectation of this socialization of losses might explain some of what is observed there in the sense that they are not responding aggressively to the actuarial community's ever more strident warnings on the uncertainty of their projections. Also people are not particularly rational in their expectations about aging - see this for example, a survey of the actuaries who are the same time as warning that life expectancy predictions are increasingly uncertain due to medical advances in the works, still base their future expectations on what happened to their grandparents:

An Introduction to Asynchronous Programming and Twisted
It miffs me every time I see somebody write that, because it's wrong, and assume the name follows English orthography in some way. The 'dj' represents the affricate [d͡ʒ] in older Romani orthographies, the 'j' representing the palatalisation of [d] to [d͡ʒ]. If it was written with the Pan-Vlax orthography these days, it'd be spelled 'džango'.
“saying things” is not a synonym for “trolling”. If those claims had been less vague and supported in any way, he wouldn't be getting downvoted.

I can see that the author shares the best distraction-free writing
environment he realized by tweaking plugins and configuration, which
works for himself/herself. Which is awesome.

However, it should be noted that Vim already is a distraction-free
writing environment, and Markdown is quite simple enough. A vanilla
Vim with Markdown highlighting is actually enough. In fact, as long as
being "distraction-free" is concerned, just VI should be enough.

Althought I am all for tweaking, I always keep in mind that sometimes I
am better off tweaking the writing itself, rather than the tools.

I am sharing this because sometimes we tend to get lost in
configuration, and we need reminders to get out.

War generally happens when two clashing social systems are trying to occupy the same physical space. As long as the systems are tolerable to each other, then war can be replaced by a game called democracy. If they are not, then no, war cannot be replaced by a game.
Could you share the results of learning those techniques, especially whether or not Nombre actually helped you?
All very good suggestions, especially Goyo for distraction-free writing.

I personally enjoy vim-livedown:

https://github.com/shime/vim-livedown

It opens up a browser window with a rendered Markdown page, and live updates when a Markdown file changes. This lets you do "split screen text/preview" editing, which is wonderful.

I also enjoy the simplenote.vim plugin. Simplenote is the hosted note taking service run by the team at Automattic/Wordpress. It's not well known that it supports Markdown fully, and also has a way to one-click publish your Markdown posts. The vim plugin lets you edit all your Simplenotes inside vim itself! If you use Simplenote, this is a great plugin.

https://github.com/mrtazz/simplenote.vim

I also set up a bash alias like this:

alias simplenote=vim -c "Simplenote -l"

which lets me type "simplenote" at the command line and get a vim editor that is open on my Simplenote account. Then I markdown away and can preview/publish from the web interface!

One of the nice aspects of tablet gaming (Hearthstone, Vainglory), is that bringing your tablet with you to a friend is a frictionless way of setting up a 'lan party'. Vainglory is best played with team members sitting in the same room. Gone are the days that you'd have to carry with you bulky laptops or worst, transport your tower/desktop to a friend.

On wifi:
The privilege I enjoy of living in a country that has historically had among the fastest internet connections in the world biases my view on this. I've been called an LPB (Low Ping Bastard) since 1997 :-). From the games of Vainglory I played I found it feels very responsive. Many places don't have fast internet connections, so you do make a fair point, but I doubt that wifi is the bottleneck here.

On cellphone data:
The cellphone contract I use has an unlimited data plan fast enough to stream youtube videos; but it is not yet reliable enough to play Vainglory from the passenger seat. It is essentially unplayable even though I have an above average data plan. I realize that until more providers switch to a flat fee structure and upgrade their infrastructure, 'true mobile' gaming for RTSs and FPSs isn't going to happen. However, these type of games require so much cognitive attention that the situations where you'd play this on-the-go is very limited (e.g. domestic trips via train, car: passenger seat and plane (international trips are too expensive due to roaming fees)). You don't really want to be playing Vainglory when you are out camping in the woods, I hope :-).

Yeah, this idea spouted to me ignorantly by parents and authorities did worlds of damage with no real positive impact.

A lack of good company can also manifest as loneliness-- a needed concept in a world where friendship is cheap and easy.
The key is to be comfortable with it - I was fighting the same oh-my-god-im-socially-poor thing but then I realized I don't happen to enjoy being in company of people not very close to me. I've since embraced it - I no longer view that as some kind of deficit I need to compensate for. And you know what that has made me better socially. It might sound weird but when you drop the whole expectation burden, when you no longer try to fit in, you become yourself and other people naturally like that.

I would agree with you, but [parent] touched on the media, and general American public perception that people simply cannot be content in being alone. Not only that, but they also conflate introversion with preferring solitude (not always true), or even worse, social ineptitude (even rarer).

I've also noticed that some of my friends who did just like being alone ran into most of their grief trying to reconcile this, as opposed to grieving being alone.

I'm pretty far in the pro-user privacy camp, but I feel this conflates things unnecessarily and confuses the end user. Private browsing now keeps your local clean of history and site data on close, but also kind of does some other disconnect/ghostery stuff? If you're privacy conscious you've already tuned your browser, if you're not and believe private browsing does that, you're misinformed.

As a personal conclusion - side projects are difficult to transform into products if you reside in a country with no real tech startup support. The USA may have the best climate for tech startups.
For those that don't know Cordwainer Smith (and maybe even some that only know him for his beautifully weird stories) in real life was Paul M. A. Linebarger, one of the pioneers of psychological warfare and wrote one of the classics in the field, "Psychological Warfare"(1948).

His father was a lawyer and activist that supported the 1911 Chinese Revolution, and had such strong connections with the revolution that Cordwainer Smith's god-father was Sun Yat-sen, the first Provisional President of the Republic of China (Jan-Mar 1912), then Premier of the Kuomintang of China (Oct 1919 - March 1925).

That... is pretty much exactly the list of problems I've expected out of optional typing.

I think other dynamic-type language communities should read this and think really hard. I've said before, I'd rather see a language become the best $LANGUAGE it can possibly be, for whatever that $LANGUAGE is, than try to bolt things on that pull it away from its core focus. Dynamically-typed languages are dynamically typed. Become the best dynamically-typed language you can be, don't bolt less-than-half-assed static typing on to the side. The sum ends up being less than the parts.

And if that means the next ten years is the language slowly fading into history... that is the destiny for all of us anyhow. Let it be with a fantastic dynamic language that was the best it could be, let it be a language that people speak wistfully of twenty years later. Don't make it be remembered as a Frankensteinien monstrosity as it tried to stay current.

True its a stretch. But compare an hour on a bike, vs an hour in traffic. It might be a wash.

As for the effort, the average person can do a whole lot more than they think. I ride with 20,000 Iowans in a weeklong 400+ mile ride every summer - aged 6 to 60 - 40 to 100 miles per day, pretty average people.

The only thing that makes the average person unable to do this is, they think they can't.
"An" in American sounds like "Anne", so I don't think that explains it. As an aside I've never heard someone say "on accident" so it might just be stupid people. Another good example is "would of" instead of "would have".
