We live in the age of fear because the hose of information that floods us is constantly opened further: Letters → Telegram → Telephone → Radio → TV → Internet → Mobile Internet.

Human beings need time to manage their emotions. Time spent waiting. Time being bored. Time when NO new information, not even positive, is arriving.

We are constantly distracted and thus increasingly unable to sort out our feelings. That is the reason.

And distracted parents that can't give their children at least 15 minutes of absolutely undivided attention per day worsen their offspring's ability to manage emotions even further.

That is why Zuckerberg/Facebook's idea "just flood everyone with everything and it will get better" is dead-wrong.

What Facebook could do to really help the world is turning off it's platform for one day each week.

How are you using a tablet for dev work? I know there are some good terminal apps on iOS (Prompt), but I've never really found that a convenient way to go.

Although, It'd be awesome if someone did an iOS port of Vim — I've always thought a modal interface like Vim's would be perfect for a tablet + keyboard combination.
I feel house prices are artificially high in many places in the US.It has nasty effects all around. It makes everything more expensive. It makes the economy less competitive. You really need two good incomes to afford a house. People has less money to go out and enjoy life. Or they live far from family and friends. And drive an hour every day.
Agree in principle, but do we have good frames to define "speech" and "propaganda" - something which can be taken differently? Some Western political media have strong bias towards one party or another, but that doesn't justify calling them propaganda and shutting them down?
They live in a country where prominent people (journalists, politicians, businessman) who uncover 'too much information' - just 'disappear'.

Could you provide more specific information on this? Even if you could simply give a link to something like a wikipedia list of prominent people that just 'disappeared', it would be helpful.
Yes. The docs are pretty bad as well. I've switched almost entirely to https://github.com/Automattic/monk.
Personally I think they should institute a "small size" burrito, for a lower price. Moe's does this.

I'd like that, but I can see why they don't. I doubt the savings on ingredients would be adequate for them to preserve their margins yet offer a price point that would seem reasonable to the consumer. Very few would be interested if it were only (say) 15 cents cheaper.

Nobody owes you a living. "Contributing to the labour force" isn't a religion; it is a necessary condition of life, without which we starve. There's no free lunch.

I think that, to protect your ego against accusations of laziness, you've projected this idea of society as a pointless activity, so you can defend to yourself your choices. It is self-delusional.

> I have an (original) X100 and my only complaint is I wish it had more knobs and buttons

A little OT: I held onto my X100 until the X100T landed because a better physical interface was a big deal to me: better buttons, the Q menu, the better EVF - the X100T did a good job of delivering on these. Better sensor performance was almost a nice to have: cameras, esp. in 2015/2016, are so darned good for most use cases (short of shooting sports in the dark...) that the need to upgrade for raw IQ is pretty rare.

The X100T isn't perfect, but I find it to be the right compromise for me: fixed prime, doesn't need its own dedicated bag, lasts all day (with the way I shoot), and there's plenty of latitude in the RAW files.

The X-T2 (and X2 Pro, even) are great cameras, and the Fuji lens system is pretty fantastic, but it's nice that Fuji offers simple options too. Constraints are good for creativity :)
Yes, hurricaneSlider. Your hug is very tight.
Whats interesting about your reference is that I currently have an exchange student staying with me from Turkmenistan and as a former Soviet Republic they still get the bulk of their news from Russian television. We were discussing last night (literally last night) the MH17's destruction and she had never heard of Russia's involvement with the shoot down-she believed that the Ukrainian air force had shot it down and that Russia's involvement in the Ukraine had been greeted with open arms (because Russian television had shown nothing but smiling faces on the Crimean faces). When I showed her the articles about the ethnic Russian's driving everyone out, and the clear Russian military involvement in the area, she was utterly shocked.
That makes some sense to me. Similar to the physical "gain control" features of eyesight and hearing.

MacVim can be a little laggy on rare occasions, but that doesn't impact it in the terminal.

Can't say I've had that, but I can imagine it happening - more of a `$PATH` issue than brew's fault though, surely.

There are 'taps' just like there's AUR, apt repos, et al. Cask is a tap away (and this is prompted if you try to run `brew cask <cmd>` without it), and pip is just `brew install python[version]`.

That is annoying, but you can condense it to a single command (`softwareupdate` piped to some nonsense) for a 'fresh install' script.

I think the only way around this would be for brew to ship a compiled binary, and then mandate that you install either XCode Command-Line Tools, or gcc. (Some formulae will need to compile.)

Well that's just a broken `$PATH`.

> I wish Valve would have been more successful with Steam OS

I think Valve has done an outstanding job, unfortunately, other game studios and controller manufacturers don't seem to care.

For example Logitech gaming wheels don't support linux. Although there are pretty good reverse engineered drivers, last time I tried, force feedback support was hard to get configured and didn't work as well in games such as Euro Truck and American Truck, which have linux versions.

Now, like the OP, I had encounters with windows 10 forced updates: I stream on twitch and I recall at least one time where, from my viewers point of view, my stream abruptly terminated. Turns out Windows 10 decided to update itself locking my computer for at least 1 hr.

True, but that doesn't really help you, does it. There is no indication on the screen which kind of update is currently being deployed. So shutting down your machine is still a gamble, something you definitely don't want on a production machine.

To use a car analogy: modern car's safety measures would probably protect me in case of an accident, but there is no way of being sure. So I'd rather avoid crashing into things at great cost.
It could be argued that it's not unemployment itself that causes depression, but the implications and effects of unemployment. If one could magically find independence, social acceptance, and financial support without employment, I suspect most of the ill effects of unemployment would disappear.

You might want to also read up on how temp labor is treated, to see how other workers are treated disposably.

> Consequently, employers simply do not have the "luxury" to set up a system that treats employees as disposable.

Yet somehow, in many cases, they do so anyway. You might be an enlightened business owner that properly sees that as foolish, but that doesn't have any bearing on the behavior of other American businesses, especially ones where (unlike yours) the owner can't know all the employees.
Yes they are. However the rooting process isn't something normal people do with their normal devices.
Jesus, there is so much entitlement in this post I don't even know where to start.

No, you don't NEED an Apple iPhone, and a TV with Netflix, and Amazon, and a Gant sweater. There are thousands of families that are surviving just fine without any of that. We have survived for centuries without external entertainment, and suddenly, you NEED this so you don't get bored?

Why not have a conversation with your wife. Sit down at the dinner table and have a conversation with your family. Go for a hike out in nature. There are ways to entertain yourself without modern technology.

If you want to keep up with the Jones's, yeah, you're going to have to make more, or sacrifice your life in other ways.

You want to buy a house in your 30s? Figure out how to increase your value so you can get paid more, or start saving your money.

Pensions are long gone. They have IRAs. If you're worried about retirement, set money aside right now. Of course, this may mean you can't be the most recent iPhone that was released. Tradeoffs. Everything has tradeoffs.

There is nothing guaranteed in life but death and taxes. Keep that in mind, and figure out what's most important to you. Welcome to the real world.

As I understand it, the UK government has to give permission for extradition from Sweden, but extradition from the UK to the US requires the support of both the UK government and the UK courts - and extradition requests from the US are held to a higher standard of evidence than ones from the EU. The UK government is certainly pretty friendly to the US so that's no obstacle, but the UK courts are less predictable.

I think I know what you mean. To be useful to junior developers and companies, companies have to want to use the platform. If companies don't want to use the platform, then the time junior developers creating and maintaining a profile on the platform is wasted (maybe the platform made finding a job harder because the time could have been spent doing other things).

The thing that might help junior developers is creating a real working channel to companies and creating that channel is more a business communication problem than a technical problem. Building the website is the easy part. Solving a problem that companies have is the hard part.

Freedom of speech coming from russia is a joke, nobody takes it seriously. They are heading straight back to CCCP times, thanx to Putin and gallery of his comrades.

For me it boils down to russian mentality which didn't change much from past era - only there such a person would be thriving for so long.

As long as this will be contained within russia, i am more or less OK with it, who are we to tell them how to run their own place. I don't think elections there are rigged in any significant way for example. But once results of this will seep out to neighboring countries, in form of expansionism, ie towards europe and former soviet republics, we have a problem.

So, we have a problem.
For the average population of the US, just say someone's actions increase the possibility of a terrorist attack, and you will have majority backing to throw them to the wolves (and I mean literally).

Yes, at least by BLS's instrument, entrepreneurs are both in the labor force and employed.

Census runs a separate survey with separate definitions, and so does Treasury -- yes, it's infuriating -- and I don't know how entrepreneurs and SBOs fit in to those, but for BLS they count as employed if they're actually doing work for the company they founded (even if they're not yet taking a paycheck).

Adam Curtis - HyperNormalisation was released last night (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p04b183c/adam-curtis-hy...).

Haven't watched it yet but I do think there seems to be a certain type of crazy happening in the world and I can't put my finger on it.

We have whole generations of young people that have been disenfranchised and are having to carry the financial burden of baby boomers. A group in our society, that as it ages, becomes selfish and politically more conservative in their approach.

Something big needs to change and the idea "you must work to survive" within our society is beginning to sound very disjointed.

Were you around when Dean Kamen's 'IT/Ginger' was hyped so much people were totally disappointed when it turned out to be the Segway?
In many places in 17-18th century Europe, foreigners (which usually included Jews and gypsies among others) were forbidden from owning land and engaging in quite a few honorable jobs.

Jewish practice converged to require praying from a book, so the literacy rate was extremely high (not so much among the general population, especially in Eastern Europe), and as a result of both this and the restrictions, Jews were constrained to jobs like trade, bankers, lawyers, doctors, which later became much more desirable than the (previously) more honorable jobs and ownership positions that they couldn't take.

IIRC, at some point in the late 19th century Germany, Jews were ~3% of the population, but were about 30% of the doctors and 70% of the lawyers; they were also over-represented among the rich. (Can't find a reference right now, so numbers might be off - but I'm quite sure about being over-represented in lucrative and rich circles).

I have no idea if a percentage of jews involved with finances (among all jews) was high; But they were definitely over-represented among finance people.

And besides, hating someone who's different is an established tradition among the people of the world.

I don't think it is entirely irrational to suspect a group that has non trivial dealing with the land's finances, law and health - yet is distinct, marries among itself, has its own "secret" languages and rituals, and has a demonstrated history of moving around and rotating loyalties. (My statements are not politically correct, I'm afraid)

Well maybe we should stop backing people into a corner then?

For example, why don't back down on immigration? Instead, it sounds like "we're not listening to your concerns, rightful or not, your opinion won't affect how things are done". Hard to imagine how this treatment won't lead to panic attacks.

Actually, countries definitely become harder and harder on immigration but there's a failure to project these changes to fellow voters.

While reading this article I've got the exact feeling that, to the author, it's much more important to reinforce immigration than care about fellow citizens' feelings.

> Traditionally it's your distribution's job to create and provide packages

That has not been true in my 15 years of Linux. Look at bitsync, rstudio, or other major programs. Arch Linux must build off of the source so that isn't a fair comparison you are on a totally different system (port).

EDIT: Here is the one page of documentation to push out deba nd rpm on mono projects. http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/lin...

I have seen electron applications (pinta isn't built on electron but mono) and in the same way ONLY Ubuntu is advertised under Linux. The ability to automatically build Linux formats is built into the framework and still don't add RPM.

Linux: AppImage, deb, rpm, freebsd, pacman, p5p, apk.

Still other eclectron applications do the same thing and ONLY provide Ubuntu and not provide the Deb or RPM with source.

Look at the download page it says Linux and directly under it has a Ubuntu Logo and a ppa link. When I down load any of my commercial or major software there is always a RPM and a DEB with a tar.

Linux Support = RPM (The official Linux Foundation package) DEB and Source.

I use OpenSUSE and they have awesome build service that allows people to build packages for SUSE but also RPM, Arch and anyone else you want to add.

Paul Eddington was an acclaimed actor who played the "minister" on British TV series "Yes, minister" and "Yes, Prime minister". Quoting him (Ref: Wikipedia page [1] and references therein)

PE: "A journalist once asked me what I would like my epitaph to be and I said I think I would like it to be 'He did very little harm'. And that's not easy. Most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me."

I found that quote moving when I came across it several years ago, especially given his life experience. His attitude makes me enjoy his acting even more. (To those who haven't seen the TV series I mentioned above, they're simply brilliant)
