This will sound silly and non-sequetor, but bear with me: Get a fountain pen. A $2 Pilot Varsity will get you started.

A fountain pen is a joy to write with. It requires virtually no pressure, especially when compared with cheap ball point pens. The ink flow is regular and heavy, resulting in even crappy writing looking interesting. It makes it fun to write, which makes (me at least) more likely to write whenever I can.

Just be sure to also use heavier paper - the Varsity ink will bleed through the cheap stuff 2-3 pages deep.
They don't care cost of doing business. Internet is an advertising and marketing platform with all the downsides of that. Part of the function of an advertising marketing platform is to gather as much information about users to sell them stuff. That's what pays for billion dollar valuations. This is not going away.
It's honestly so mission-critical to interactions on the internet---and computers are so increasingly assumed to be on the internet---it's a bit of a wonder that no-one to my knowledge has tried to roll it into the kernel as a core and necessary function yet.
1.0.1->1.0.2 is major upgrade (it's more like an "openssl 2.x to 3.x" type update). Static linking wouldn't help you because when you go to recompile you'll most likely discover compilation fails because the API changed.

For 1.0.1x->1.0.1y upgrades, dynamic linking means you just update the lib and restart running services, no recompilation needed. No random little-used binary hanging around with an old embedded static openssl, hopefully, as they will all pick up the patches as long as they dynamically link to the updated .so
Seems to me it's the other way around. Liberalism was born in academia and has spread from there.

The article doesn't mention one of the most important factors – in the US, Conservatism often comes with a heavy side helping of religion. As a result, highly educated people tend to move away from conservatism even if they may be generally for Conservative policies, because they don't want to be associated with people who believe the earth is 5000 years old and that anyone who isn't a Christian needs "saving".

The current Republican primaries are showing that this link may be weakening, with Evangelicals no longer being a heavily significant factor in deciding the vote. So maybe the highly educated won't be 100% liberal in a decade or two.

> Having a distinct culture doesn't necessitate having a distinct language, but having an existing distinct culture in a specific language necessitates preserving the language for preserving it

I'm not saying other languages shouldn't be preserved. I'm saying there should be a standard language. I don't think that one precludes the other.

> An english speaking China will be a very different culture

Maybe, but why would that be worse (or better for that matter)?

> And we haven't even mentioned the Shapir/Worf hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

That's an interesting point, but on the other hand I'm still not convinced that this means that having a lot of distinct languages is "better". While on the other hand, there would be clear benefits to everyone speaking the same language or having at least one common language.

> You mean besides obliterating every existing culture and using it for parts?

Isn't that what always happens with all culture as it evolves?

> Everything that's wrong with monocultures of all kinds and singular ways of thinking and doing things [...]

This is where I strongly disagree. I think that some things are tools for a specific purpose and should be standardized. Language is a tool to convey facts and ideas.

I recognize that culture should not be standardized, of course.
Did you mean UIColor and NSColor? :)
>> Prototypes are flexible. They don’t have all the ceremony that’s behind
class-based OOP. In that sense, they’re fun to use. But they don’t scale well
for larger applications and that’s why people jump straight to classes.

Yeah, well, unfortunately class-based OOP (as the article puts it) also doesn't
scale that well, as anyone would know who's had to work on a 10+ years old
codebase written in Java or C# (the typical big-OOP languages). That's why you
can google 'dependency injection' and get some 2,180,000 results. Because even
with all the big-OOP you can get, scaling up and maintaining a project long-term
is pain.

Btw, I've mostly worked with C# and it's not that I like javascript particularly (I
mostly hate it and left to my own devices I'd use Prolog everywhere) but the whole
OOP thing just sucks so badly. There must have been a better way to use Dr Minsky's
great idea [1], what we got now is no good.

Well, that's almost as terrible. Combined with the "everyone can deassociate everyone" that's been in WLAN forever and the "enterprise" solutions using MSCHAPv2 where passwords can be almost trivially recovered it's pretty much impossible now to do WLAN securely. Companies should really treat any wireless network as basically insecure.

The terrible certificate support in e.g. Android is just icing on the top.

A variation of a common refrain these days that I found funny and a little insightful is that: "Reality has a well-known center-left technocratic recovering-neoliberal bias."

Much of what comes under "liberal" in the united states is often our best response to evidence of what works mixed within a more general western liberal political tradition broadly enabling through both negative and positive liberty all public/private behaviours unless harm to others can be clearly demonstrated by evidence. And much of what comes under "liberal" within in the United States is the centre ground in Western and Northern Europe.

Apportable. Amazing tool that compiled Obj-C to Android targets, and had stubs to bridge iOS frameworks to Android. Sounds impossible but it actually worked, really well. They had limited support for UIKit, and it worked flawlessly with Cocos2d so was great for porting games. They were starting to integrate with SpriteBuilder, a nice open source scene editor for Cocos2d but once Apportable pulled their support that community disappeared overnight.

Pretty sure they got acquired by Google, who are taking engineering in a new direction with a new project named Flutter that uses Dart as the source language, which is totally useless for porting over existing Obj-C code bases. Too bad, so sad.

I highly recommend any developer to find a creative coding library and play around. For JS there is P5.js and Processing.js and countless others. For Clojure and Clojurescript there is Quil. Java has Processing, and for C++ there is Open Frameworks.

I don't know about the OP's situation, but at one time most phone calls were completed by a human operator looking up circuit numbers and physically connecting the two customers using a patch cord.

I suspect that under that model, the operator's time was the dominant cost involved in placing the call.
In practical terms of impacting the greatest % of the population, some data that I'd like to have seen here are around life expectancy:

- Life expectancy, men/women

- Infant mortality

- Accidental death

- Death by illness/disease

- Death by military conflict

For example:

- Life expectancy (US, men & women average)

1870: 35.1 years

1920: 54.1

1970: 70.9

2012: 78.7

The most years gained were 1870 - 1920.

As for military conflict, innovation happens in politics and diplomacy as well as technology. I'd like to see how innovations in politics and diplomacy have impacted death by military conflict as military technology become increasingly lethal.

Unfortunately, half the point of Project Spark was collaborative game editing and sharing of user-created content. They could've avoided turning down Spark by not having that feature, but arguably, that'd mean they never turned _up_ Spark in the first place.

'side helping of fundamentalist religion' would be more accurate than 'side helping of religion'.

Some of it is nostalgia. Some things it genuinely did better -- CodeWarrior's inline ASM syntax kicked the shit out of the GCC equivalent we're stuck with today.

And some of it is highly subjective: there was a simplicity to the old CodeWarrior UI in pre-OS X MacOS. You had a separate project window and a text editor window for every file you were editing. It was clean. It was uncluttered. It wasn't 300 tabs, sidebars, and top bars jammed into one God Window to Rule Them All.

It kept out of your way and did its job quietly.

Needing an account to access it doesn't preclude it from being publicly available. And adding some terms that nobody with malicious intent would care about to the sign up process doesn't protect them from public view either. If someone posted your tax, pay, etc details on a torrent site you needed to sign up to before anyone could access them wouldn't you say they were publicly available?
Do you have any evidence for this? I've not heard anyone make this claim before, and I'm curious how much validity it may have.

From TFA:

> After evaluating the Eurofighter Typhoon, Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and Lockheed Martin F-35 as Denmark’s next primary fighter jet, the country’s government is recommending the F-35 “unequivocally” as superior in “strategic, military, economic, and industrial aspects.”

So, the F-35 was compared with the Eurofigher Typhoon and the Super Hornet.

This means that the "every other fighter jet" refers only to the eurofigher and the super hornet.

Well, there are plenty more fighter jets out there.

That's a circular argument. Why are education systems liberal?

And where's your evidence that earlier "most institutions had a conservative slant"?
It's because once you are highly educated, you realize that you are no longer in competition with your fellow humans for resources: you'll get a job pretty easily, and it's no longer a matter of survival.
How did it display search results?
Why not using an artificial language specifically built for simplicity, such as Esperanto?

There are barely any users and there is only a small amount of content available.

I do agree that it's probably one of the easiest languages to pick up, since it is so regular (largely one suffix per word class, regular inflection, etc.).
That reason probably is good. Some mail clients wrap at 78 chars. Result is that the text doesn't flow. Larger window and text doesn't fill, smaller and you get staggered lines. For most Outlook users, it makes sense to convert this into something more readable.

I think there is an option to change its behaviour.

Free time. I used to use it to sleep, read books, listen to music, watch movies, play video games, do laundry, exercise, talk to my family, and cook my own food. I can do some of those things on the commute to and from work with apps, but it's not the same as when I had free time. I think google or facebook bought it and quietly obsoleted it in 2006. I'm still looking for a replacement. Someone suggested Activity Blocks or HabitRPG, but they don't work the same.

I would think that the music eliciting such a response would vary between individuals, or is that not the case? Are there universal patterns in music that would act as "chill music" to a broad spread of the population? I guess I am wondering if "chill music" can be an actual genre where listeners can swap their favorite tracks and such or if it is just music across different genres that individuals might experience this sensation with.

I was under impression that, at least on gcc, everybody uses -O2 and -O3 is reserved for those who have the patience to verify that their software not only still works correctly, but even actually becomes faster.

FWIW, I once tried -O3 on some number crunching code few years ago and results were mixed. Improvements, if any, came from only one or few of the many -f flags enabled by -O3.

Oh, and I also tried -O3 on Gentoo. Some weird gtk crashes, had to rebuild back with -O2.

A lot of it could go away with better consumer protection laws and enforcement. I'm not sure why this country puts up with deceptive negative-option rebills. They should just show the sales funnel to 100 random citizens, and ask them how much they think they are going to be charged after going through it. If more than 50 people get the answer wrong, what you are doing is obviously deceptive (Yes this would include things like mortgages and credit card fees).

You are correct that btrfs and ZFS are sensitive to low disk space. This is also related to how cow filesystems function, they need that free space to commit writes and for snapshots because they, by nature, don't overwrite blocks.

See this for the ZFS example; http://serverfault.com/a/556892/79238

In both cases the exact amount of free space you desire is a mix of workload, fragmentation, and snapshots.

However, I disagree they waste a lot of space. I think both ZFS and btrfs more than make up for the overhead of free space commits through their space saving features. cp --reflink, block suballocation, compresssion, and efficient snapshots outweight the overhead, in my case. Your mileage may vary.

"Rpad is an interactive, web-based analysis program. Rpad pages are interactive workbook-type sheets based on R" ~2009

To help companies gauge where their techniques fall along the persuasive-to-manipulative spectrum, Chris Nodder, a user-experience consultant in Seattle, has developed guidelines for ethical conduct. Systems that nudge people to act in the public interest are “charitable,” he told me, while products like Fitbit, which may help people develop better habits, are “motivational. “If the company benefits more than the consumer, I would call it ‘evil design,’” said Mr. Nodder, who wrote a book on the topic called “Evil by Design.” If an approach benefits the company and the customer equally, he added, “you are probably in the realm of ‘commercial design.’”

I find it surprising that the researcher apparently makes the distinction whether a certain UI is "dark" or not depending on what it is used for.

As a customer, unless I signed up with the explicit goal of habit-change (e.g. for a fitness service) I would very much not like to be manipulated no matter if the cause is "good" or not.
