I'm arguing that the incumbents have a built-in, guaranteed communications channel. Any obstacle to speech by the people (whether they're rich or poor) leaves no response to those in power. In effect, then, the rules enforce an oligarchy.

In fact, your argument that the CU decision only benefits the wealthy is precisely the opposite of the reality. In fact, the wealthy don't need to cooperate in corporate bodies to finance public speech: folks like Donald Trump can get up on a pulpit with their own personal wealth. It's only us regular people who have the need to cooperate (i.e., to incorporate into a body to handle the demands of our effort).

Thus, CU is a benefit to the regular guy, without having much effect on the opportunities available to the rich who can go it alone.

I think a better heuristic, is "Just eat what your great-grandma ate". Or avoid the middle of the supermarket as much as possible.

Simply eating more fat and less sugar/carbs, I have lost 10+ pounds and feel much better. These nutrition fads have done more harm than good. My mother switched from butter to Crisco when I was a kid, then she banned salt from the house, and bought (high sugare, low fat) snack wells for us. All based on poor/pseudo science.

Perhaps, but Guitar Tab is one of the great equalizers of the internet - proper notation has typically cost money to access a copy, whereas Tab could spread in .txt format, small sizes, etc. Sure, they could be off or need the song to play along with, but that's the trade-off. Lastly, though it's a personal opinion, Guitar and "proper notation" are really only needed in the same sentence when playing Classical/Orchestra, Real Jazz, or as a Pro Studio Session Musician[1] - as in, very small, elite group of players. Most will get by just growing along with the instrument over the years, for which Tab helps a lot.

I noticed this effect when I lost weight in the last 7 months, I dropped 60 odd lbs by switching to a diet of eggs, meat (mostly chicken), fish, low fat/carb dairy (cottage cheese, 0 fat greek yoghurt etc) and a large amount of vegetables (mostly steamed).

After a few months on that diet anything rich in sugar gave me a massive short lived energy rush, I actually didn't much like the feeling so now I only eat complex carbs and hardly anything with a lot of sugar (lots of cruciferous vegetables, not a lot of high sugar fruits).

I've found that throughout the day my mood and general feeling is pretty constant rather than up and down like a yo-yo.

Technical Debt in a PR is just a 'bad purchase'
At least part of the problem, in my opinion, is that youth receive basically zero "financial education" in high school.

My girlfriend is 21 years old and just a couple of years out of high school. I can only recall being taught the basics myself: how to make a budget, balance a checkbook, etc. She apparently did not even receive that.

I'm much older than her (37) and, while I'm certainly not "rich" by any means, I'm financially stable and everything I own is completely paid for (ironically, my only remaining debt is my student loans).

She has only recently became interested in the basics of financial matters, such as her credit report and credit score, how loans and credit cards work, etc. Initially, I was amazed at her lack of knowledge in this area. It's not that she's dumb or stupid, she was just never taught anything about finances. She is, fortunately, relatively mature for her age and manages her money well. She has worked since she was first able to and has maintained steady employment and, for some reason, lately acquired an interest in her credit score and increasing it (although it's actually pretty decent for her age).

So we've recently started working on her credit history which, of course, was completely non-existent until she took out a small loan from her credit union for a cheap, used vehicle (with her father as a co-signer) about a year ago. She shops at Victoria's Secret often, so we got her a store credit card from there with a small ($500) credit limit to help her started. I've explained how credit utilization, payment history, etc. factors into her score, so she'll put her purchases (always < $100 for a statement period) on her card and then pay it off in full every month and I've been looking around recently for a good "starter" credit card for her to get. I've considered adding her as an authorized user to one of my high-limit Amex cards (to give her utilization, payment history, and average age of accounts a little boost) but I've read recently that nowadays those accounts don't get reported to an AU's credit report (although AmEx does ask for SSN and DOB when adding an AU so maybe they still do).

She completed a vocational program in high school and is already a licensed cosmetologist; we've talked a bit about whether she'll go to college or not (she's already somewhat "behind", in that she didn't go straight to college after high school) but not how it will be funded if she does. If or when that time comes, I'm glad that I'll be around to help her come up with a plan that won't require her to spend the next 20 years paying for it. I can easily see how a typical 18-year-old about to go off to college just blindly signs up for student loans without any true understanding of just what they're committing to financially and without any idea of how long after they complete their education that it will continue to them.

TL;DR: I got kinda sidetracked there for a minute but my point was that today's high school students receive nearly zero financial education or guidance before heading off to college. I am not surprised at all by the facts and figures detailed in this article.
Convoy of self-driving trucks completes first European cross-border trip
It's for precisely that reason that I can't fathom how even this sticks with people. "you are what you eat" (in this literal a sense) sounds like something you grow out of around the time you figure out object permanence.
I prefer the idea of, if it comes in a box or bag or bottle it should be avoided. If you do choose to partake then read the ingredients and if you cannot find them separately in the store you most likely don't want the item you are considering.
I'm not overthinking it. I gave that as an example of people not thinking about food. The heuristic, even applied as you would prefer, is a poor one. I don't buy into the philosophy at all.

Quick example, my mother-in-law (who is into all kinds of weird "food woo" (she's a drink-raw-milk-only, avoid-adrenal-stressing-foods, etc. kind of person) once handed me a some sort of baked good--a bread perhaps--and mentioned, "It has no preservatives." My quick, honest, reply was "bummer." She had meant to "no preservatives" as being a good thing, as lots of folks do. The thing is, preservatives are a GOOD thing (well, unless you're preserving your food with something known to be harmful). It means less food waste, and that you're less likely to be unknowingly eating (mildly) spoiled food.

We have made missteps in our advancement in the production of food, and we as a whole don't eat as healthy of food as we should, but on the whole, modern agricultural practices are a good thing, as are some modern processing of food that people don't like because it's not "natural." I'm swayed by the preponderance of quality evidence on this, not anecdotes, intuition, and studies that represent noise in the data due to known problems with the generation of data.
My intent is not to bash Trump. I actually think that he's one of the more talented people running for POTUS. This is not to say that I support him or his views (I am voting for Gary Johnson [1]), but I respect his ability to maneuver the media to suit his aims. It is my contention that his strong aptitude with using appropriate/effective language is one of the main reasons he can wield the media around so effortlessly.

Natural language is a terrible way to specify software.

Writing software is about telling a blazingly fast, literal, moron what to do. The ambiguity inherent in natural language is not a good way of telling such a thing what to do.
There's a difference between interfaces that are messy and those that have high information density.

Also, there are quite a few sites which benefit (profit) from throwing off the user's train of thought and injecting unrequested information:

- Go on Amazon looking for a product and you'll see lots of other products that may be relevant but that are totally not what you were there for.

- Facebook being an advertizing company is of course happy to inject promoted posts to satisfy their clients.

Edward Tufte has written at length[1] about information density, and has shown that it is possible to design interfaces that contain a huge amount of information AND yet are clean to the point of being beautiful.

> I gave an example of opening an existing structure and modifying it in the comment you're replying to.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by "subtle gesture" there.

Anyway, in the original comment you said:

> Data structures are shapes. A shape is better drawn than described in text.

I'll grant you that speaking + gestures may not be a bad way of entering and manipulating small data structures and preforming simple operations. But until we have a technology that can recognize speech and gestures reliably and accurately (and tablets with OSes that don't lag and hang up for half a second at random), physical keyboards will still be much faster and much less annoying.

But I still doubt you could extend that to more complex editing and navigating tasks. Take a brief look at the things you can do in Paredit:

http://pub.gajendra.net/src/paredit-refcard.pdf

Consider the last three or four subsections and ask yourself, how to solve them with touch, gestures and speech. Are you going to drag some kind of symbolic representation of "tree node" to move a bunch elements into a sublevel? How about splitting a node into two at a particular point? Joining them together? Repeating this (or a more complex transformation) action 20 times in a row (that's what a decent editor has keyboard macros for)? Searching in code for a particular substring?

Sure, it can be done with the modes of input you're advocating, but I doubt it can be done in an efficient way that would still resemble normal speech and interaction. There are stories on the Internet of blind programmers using Emacs who can achieve comparable speed to sighted ones. This usually involves using voice pitch and style as a modifier, and also using short sounds for more complex operations. Like "ugh" for "function" and "barph" for "public class", etc. So yeah, with enough trickery it can be done. But the question is - unless you can't use the screen and the keyboard, why do it?

> Like in a DOM? Easily: grab it and move it, just like you do it in DevTools today, except with your hands rather than a mouse.

DevTools are a bad example for this task. Using keyboard is much faster and more convenient than mouse. C.f. Paredit.
There are more concerns than performance. The choice of C here is a philosophical one. Vis seems to come from the same school of thought as the Suckless projects, where the unix design principles are worshipped. People who are interested in that kind of stuff are also usually fans of writing in C, simply because C is the most Unix of languages: Makefiles control the build, which allows trivial integration of external tools into the build process, function names match 1:1 with the labels in the produced object files, no name mangling, documentation comes in man pages.

But really, a text editor is something C is quite well suited to. Javascript wouldn't bring much to the table, and you'd have to jump through hoops for something like mmap.

You get used to it. When I lived in a more affordable metro area, I could live 30-45 minutes from work, and indeed it was nice. Now, in the Bay Area, it's more like 2+ hours each way, which I thought would make me want to slit my wrists, but you kind of just turn off your brain and deal with it. I find the need to "take work home"--because there isn't enough time in the day--to be more of a "grind" than the commute. You never truly end your work for the day. But you do what you have to to support your family, even if you never get to see them.

Seems Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and many others are solving your online storage dilemma as we speak. Of course, there is the question of how historians shall gain access to all that data originally stored for people would be dead by then. I think a law about releasing private data to the public domain after a certain period of time after a person's death, if no living relative to claim it, should be considered.

Also, over time storage has just been getting cheaper and cheaper. When I started with computers I couldn't dream of storing the amount of data that I currently store on my phone without thinking twice about it.

Start with a file named `check` with the contents:

grep "__SECRET_DOM_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED" src/React.js && exit 1
exit 0

The commit is good if the line isn't there, the commit is bad if the line is there.

Then find the first commit in the entire repository (it's 75897c2dcd1dd3a6ca46284dd37e13d22b4b16b4):

git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

Then run:

git bisect start HEAD 75897c2dcd1dd3a6ca46284dd37e13d22b4b16b4
git bisect run ./check

And a few seconds later git will tell us that it was commit https://github.com/facebook/react/commit/b2ca3349c27b57b1e94...:

If I want this book in hard copy, then I will purchase it - I've done this regularly with free digital books - but when it is offered free digitally then in my opinion prohibiting to only certain file formats is futile (as evidenced here), and such constraints are ineffective attempts to encourage people to buy the hard copy through inconvenience.
