Just to give some perspective. These are some examples of what vaccination is up against :

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2727330/

The situation is improving slowly, but only in a few ways. It used to be the case that both the mainstream of islam and extremists were against vaccination (and even now the mainstream is wary of it : apparently it proves allah doesn't have power, and of course the disease and it's effects is the fault of the vaccine, not a major flaw of allah).

But extremists are as much against polio vaccination as ever. Apparently they're going to defeat the world with "muslim wombs" and polio vaccination is apparently really a secret plot to make them infertile. (in a way it is of course : more surviving children will extinguish one of the main reasons for having many children, and if it happens the same as in the west in the 20th century, number of children will drop by a lot)

“I have seen very few input devices that reduce this static loading and are still as intuitive as keyboards or mice.”

Getting a keyboard split into two independent halves makes a huge difference to the ability to adjust the workspace to reduce static strain. One of the best currently available options, with a very easy learning curve, is the Matias ErgoPro: http://matias.ca/ergopro/

As for mice: trackpads, trackballs, roller mice, and pen tablets are all potentially more comfortable. Mice with different shapes can help, e.g. those ones with the vertically oriented body which requires less wrist pronation. Even without changing hardware, repositioning the mouse or adjusting desk or chair can make a huge difference to mousing comfort.
Currently I use the browser's dev tools and that allows me to pretty much do the same thing as this tool (I've got the CSS properties memorized at this point). I probably won't use this, but kudos to you for putting in all that work! I did find your tool intuitive to use, nice job. An awesome feature to have is the ability to resize (and specify the size of) the template window so we could test responsive design and different device sizes.

Those DDT claims are mythology spread as part of a coordinated political attack. It was never banned for malaria eradication but the actual scientists running those campaigns knew as early as the 1950s that mosquitos were rapidly evolving resistance to the point where it was becoming ineffective.

Brilliant books, and like many of the commenters here, they were my real introduction to programming. The way they visualized the abstract concepts was fantastic.

The biggest downer back in those heady 8-bit home computer days, was the plethora of platforms and the differences in the BASIC dialects. Made getting those code listings working a bit of a pain.
Why unseen? They're presenting this images without challenging them, without providing any historical context at all.

Your comments are being down voted to oblivion. The prevailing narrative of our time is pretty anti-western. Anything the west does is auto-bad, whereas the activities of other cultures, current and historical, are (re)presented as heroic struggles against evil imperial forces. I agree with you, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It seems like it should be an uncontroversial stance doesn't it? Welcome to the modern era where shades of gray don't exist, and the best way to accrue Twitter followers it to kick your own culture apart.
Depends on what metric you choose. If your metric is "likelihood to study a technical subject and get a high paying job in the tech industry", maybe. That's pretty meaningless, though, and narrow - there are lots of other ways to have a good, often even better life.

Take Back Facebook: The LIKE-Cycle vs. The Deadpool
I would argue some important concepts to understand are.

- programming is commanding a machine to do what they want.

- computers speak a non-english language so everything they write is translated before the machine follows it

- a machine is only limited to its hardware. You cannot save without a harddrive, you cannot communicate without an antenna of somesort.

Instructing a machine can come in a variety of forms

- Robotics - commands reinterpreted into physical movement

- User Experience - commands reinterpreted to produce graphics or sound

- Logical - Encoding and decoding, list management and prediction, mapping commands to actions, language grammer

If anyone disagrees or has more to add, let me know
Privilege, favor and advantage is completely useless single-dimension concepts when talking about demographics. Statistics can show that men dominate the highest and lowest ranks in society, but every only focus on the few top who succeed and turn a blind eye to everyone else. It as if we would argue that people who gamble are "favored" since they have a slightly higher chance to become millionaires compared to everyone else.

White males has comparably poorer supportive network than most other demographics. Culture assume that all white men are healthy and strong, and society carry a discrimination when reality crash with that imagine. Is that privilege? Privilege for whom and compared to what?
Do you mean cringe, Or is that missing the sarcastic joy?
Why is the last example false? I'm not sure what you mean by equal in this context, I guess.
I don't think the downvoting of a comment claiming it's nothing but propaganda means anything about shades of grey not existing. I mean, that comment was pretty black and white itself.

ISTR that when the last wild California Condors were taken in for captive breeding (the species was down to single-digit numbers) the conservationists, naturally intending to give their new charges the best care available, gave them an insecticide bath ...

... Not realizing that mites and lice are extremely fussy about their host species and frequently can't live on another organism. As a result of which, the conservation process inadvertently rendered two species extinct.

(Moral of story: we tend to pay attention to charismatic megafauna and to horrible zoonoses that kill us, but in doing so our actions can have unforeseen side-effects. I don't think anyone's going to mourn the passing of the guinea worm but it has a life cycle that includes stages in non-human host species, and I don't think we're paying nearly enough attention to the implications. Oh, and the same goes for malaria, zika, and so on.)

>You are right. But I'm not saying that only viewpoint that I believe in should be presented: both should be presented side-by-side, at least.

I'm pretty sure most everyone is well aware of the "other side" while looking at this one. Humans aren't so stupid that they can't compare what they already know to new information.
However, in the vast majority of cases, only the US perspective is given, and no one complains then.

There is a lot more documentation about the Vietnam war that is from the US' perspective than from Viet Cong. Which is precisely what makes this article interesting. And it's just one article, and pretty short too.

(Also compare with the US wars in Afghanistan or Iraq, or, more recently, the war on ISIL? How many articles tell ISIS' perspective?)

This sort of data would be interesting/ useful for any location.

I have seen references to a "stab in the back" myth/belief for Vietnam e.g.

I mean, the US "lost" in the sense that they failed to accomplish whatever vague political goal that they had in mind when they went to war, but if you look at the body count, it's like 10 to 1.

Same with all of the other "wars."

The advantage in weaponry is staggering, and this weaponry has been bought with unprecedented military spending.

So, there are some kinks in the ideological goals and imposing those on others, but the killing machine seems to be fully optimized.

Mission Critical: 5 Lessons from NASA JPL’s Cloud Journey
Well, the Marxian theory is the growing reserve army of labor increasing the organic composition of capital leading to a fall in the rate of profit and breakdown of capital accumulation. A major assumption was that automation would lower productivity and profit, which did not play out. So, industrialists definitely would benefit from a minimum wage JG force.

The purpose of the New Deal was not empowerment, but emergency restructuring. Some of the initial programs (AAA, NRA) were deemed unconstitutional and it was built into a corporatist model for maximum expediency. There weren't any McJobs in the 30s, and the New Deal was certainly not about "decent benefits and pay". Nor would a contemporary minimum wage JG be.

Marshallian analysis was not a purely comparative static approach. It did allow for dynamism and fluctuations as actors converged between states. That Keynes spoke of homogeneous investment functions and "marginal efficiency of capital" shows that he was still rooted in that tradition.

You're moving the goalposts, though. IS-LM is still his.

In what way is this story "skeptical and/or negative"? It quotes Bezos and summarizes Amazon's lobbying objectives, i.e. the article is itself engaging in lobbying.
You could, if you determined that "getting Iraq out of Kuwait" was the primary goal of that war. Such a goal would have been wiser than the confusing mishmash of motives revealed by actual USA actions.
I have spent time on the dole (social security payments) in the UK after graduating in the dot com crash of 2001. I choose to work as I have a better quality of life because of it. I can live in a nicer apartment and afford to do more things because I have the money to so. I am assuming basic income would cover the basics and not too much more.

There are plenty of people in the UK who do seem to live a "benefits lifestyle" - i.e. they (seem to) choose not to work. I guess most of them are looking at lower paid jobs where the difference in earnings from a 40 hour a week don't make it sufficiently worthwhile for them to start working, when they can get the majority of it for not working.
I understood. Obviously the author knows about these limitations, otherwise he wouldn't be able to write such a tool... but still it can be useful;
It's alpha, the tool can be used on trivial programs and you should be aware of its limitations.
This seems neat, but from a security standpoint I'd much rather see a command which spawned a new VM with a copy of my current file-system.

I would then want to capture all disk and network i/o that the "maybed" command generated in the VM.

Even that wouldn't be that secure, because the command would still be able to send sensitive data out. You could intercept the network i/o, but that would cause most installers to fail.
Games, and game modding, seems to be the most accessible and most successful gateway drug to programming. Games that have decent mod support can offer a natural skill progression, without overwhelming all at once. Start by tweaking some data; move on to basic scripting. Eventually, you start to chafe against the limitations of the game's modding abilities, and want to start building your own thing.

This whole process is grounded in something real, and something that is more fun than crunching numbers or building a fake CRUD app.

I'm curious about the spate of games that directly incorporate programming. Maybe they have been more effective than I think, but for the most part, they just aren't really that fun, IMHO. They lean too hard towards the edu, and not enough toward the tainment... Particularly in comparison to, say, building a custom StarCraft map with triggers and conditions or a Quake level, that you can go play with your friends after.
Apple rejects the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth b/c of 'violence towards children'
Thank you bucaran, I really appreciate you like it. Anyway, Webflow is one of most powerful website builder I've ever seen and when I discovered it I thought there is no reason to continue to develop GrapesJS, but I've also seen that there were no similar free/oss solutions that could be maybe integrated with other applications. Anyway for the next release (beta) I would like to integrate Breakpoint Manager (for media queries) and something that would let GrapesJS manage classes, this will be very similar to webflow concept :)

But the captions in the article don't actually praise the Viet Cong leadership, and even the Nazi leadership didn't believe that Normandy was German territory. It's not like there's anything remotely untrue about the observations that the ARVN wasn't much of a fighting force without US support and Agent Orange wasn't particularly friendly on the local wildlife.

I've seen coverage of the war from a skewed pro-Viet Cong propaganda perspective. This isn't that.
This was also my perspective on the war before I moved to Vietnam. However, after living here for five years and talking to people all over the country my opinion is much more nuanced. To this day many, or even most, southern Vietnamese view the northern Vietnamese as the invaders and occupiers, not the USA.

It's a difficult war to understand because it was not only a struggle to end colonialism in Vietnam but also a land and power grab by the northern communists.
It just seems odd to me. Most people I know in the US would be familiar with the term "Fall of Saigon", which would strongly imply the first option "We Won" isn't correct.

Even the pop culture doesn't seem to put out a vibe that suggests the US won. Most of the popular movies about Vietnam tend to highlight the horrors of war in general and not some romantic notion of victory, patriotism, glory, etc. Almost all of them feature scenes with the US soldiers talking about how misguided and poorly run the war was.

At best, there may be some people that think "we could have won" had the war been waged in a different way, but I don't even hear that often. In fact, the quagmire of Vietnam was used repeatedly as an argument against the war in Iraq.

But Vietnam war was essentially an effort to resist foreign invasion. It effectively started when

"On 23 September 1945, with the knowledge of the British Commander in Saigon, French forces overthrew the local DRV government, and declared French authority restored..."[1]

It was one of the awful proxy conflicts of 20th century. I have no idea which is better - to be a colony in a market economy (the dominating effect is that profits from capital leak into the owning country) or a marxist dictatorship. Most dictatorships are kinda shitty - Marxist or not - but I have no calculus to compute is being a colony any better
