What in particular do you see as most innovative in your fman at the moment, or is that set for future developments.

I'm curious too - I noticed that the Linux version is 20MB, seems relatively heavy, and I'm wondering why so much larger than the Win version?

Most of the enhancement requests seem to be things [my preferred twin-pane fm] Krusader does (nix only I think, though you can put KDE over Windows it's not straightforward [or wasn't last I tried]). On Windows in the past I've used Total Commander.

FWIW on the download page I think I'd ditch the link to "don't be a free user" and just put something like "please purchase a license or donate to allow us to make fman even better for you.". The linked page is messy and doesn't give a clear message to those not familiar with the issues at hand IMO.

In the onboarding you stress to use the keyboard but the dialogs have to be next/close with the mouse; I hit enter assuming they were defaulted and it instead changed directory.

Also, why ctrl+p and not something like <spacebar> or just p? or D and C for directory and command? Is that following a pattern from somewhere else, isn't ctrl+p usually print. Ctrl+l which is browser default for entering URL would make more sense to me.

Last thing, ctrl+shift+p dialog puts too much space between command and shortcut making it a bit hard to track; if you want to keep the same width as the directory pop-up I'd recommend centre aligning (right align left column, and vice-versa).

Installing plugins one at a time gets slow quickly, especially as almost all functions appear to be plugins. On restarting it says "press A button" it means "click A button on screen", I pressed <A> and nothing happened.

HTH. For me it's too minimal at install and I don't like dark backgrounds. Good job though: it's fast and minimal in line with your "zen".
Yeah, because who doesn't want to live in the desert, right?
I had the same impression of "speed-walking", and I saw it in 48fps 2D. It almost felt as if the projection was lagging sometimes and then sped up the film to catch up or something, it was very distracting.

The arguments for segregated cycle tracks (physical
barriers) rather than cycle lanes (paint) can be answered
by one question: "Would you let your child cycle here?"

Where I live, when segregated cycle tracks meet T junctions the layout is often like so:

| C |
----------------------------------| a |--------
Cycles ◅ | r | ▷
----------------------------------| s |--------
divider | |
----------------------------------- Δ ---------
Cars
-------------------------------------------------

This means cyclists using the segregated path have to stop to give way to cars at every T junction - whereas cyclists who don't use the segregated path can maintain a constant speed, with joining cars giving way to them.

This leads to a demographic split in cyclist behaviour. For children and cyclists who aren't in a hurry, the segregated path is more friendly - but for 'serious' cyclists and people in a hurry, staying on the road makes more sense. Especially if there's a high density of T junctions, which isn't unusual in some urban areas.

Fortunately, in my country there aren't any laws that force cyclists into bike lanes, so it generally isn't a problem. But any urban planner who wants 100% of cyclists segregated from traffic is going to have a difficult time on their hands :)
> You're skirting around the key basis of almost all systems of justice: you do have a right to autonomy as long as you don't violate other's equal right to the same. This is basically the Non Aggression Principle, and it has the effect of maximising personal autonomy.

Many modern legal systems thoroughly limit the autonomy of individuals with regard to suicide, either by directly criminalizing it, by criminalizing any assistance others might provide a suicidal person in achieving that aim (in some systems even criminalizing merely failing to prevent a suicidal person from succeeding), or by authorizing other people to use force to prevent an individual from achieving that aim.

Suicide is an extreme case, but it's an extreme case in which usually no one's autonomy or body except the suicidal person's is involved. If an absolute right to our own bodies where it does not interfere with the rights of others is a key principle of our legal systems, then we should expect our legal systems to place no limitations on it, beyond at most restrictions aimed at preventing others from coercing an individual to commit "suicide", but this is not what we see in almost any modern legal system (if anyone has an example of one which does fit that expectation, I'd be curious to hear it).
That's a problem that can be solved easily just by having a good and cheap city bike system. Oslo is also really hilly and the weather isn't the best, but since the city bike system was revamped in 2016 biking has exploded here.

One thing I really like about the Oslo system is how startup-like it is, unlike a lot of other systems which feel arcane.

The apps are flawless (there's no card), the design profile is fantastic [1], the bikes are good and light and they do a good job of communication [2].

Polymer with native iOS/Android support would be… Not Polymer.

Polymer is a thin layer of sugar on top of the web platform, it's 100% web, it doesn't make sense outside of the browser because it doesn't have its own special component model, it literally just directly subclasses HTMLElement to provide sugar, that's it.
At least that "browser window manager" came with lots of useful tools to solve problems with the computer, based on a wide ecosystem.

"Smalltalk Revisited" doesn't solve any problems per-se, and would be firmly stuck in the chicken and egg corner that produced way too many stillborn projects in IT.

So, Chrome OS implementing Dart might have been interesting, but on the other hand, as soon as there was talk about adding Dart to the web platform, there were all those rants about "Google is monopolizing the web!!!!11".
I guess it's hard to please everyone.

Only if you want to have fun writing your own bindings for the majority of OS APIs.

Qt for mobile devices requires the use of QML (not C++ widgets) and many APIs aren't wrapped, or even fit into the OS application lifecycle.

It is easier to use standard C++ and do your own bindings to Java and Objective-C, than QML (one version for each device) + Qt/C++ + wrappers into not support APIs.

Xamarin teams take the effort to create .NET bindings for all new iOS and Android APIs, on each OS release.
> After World War II, the allied world (except for the USA) decided that nationalism is bad because it leads to Hitler, so you have cosmopolitan Europeans and Canadians falling all over themselves trying not to exhibit any sort of national pride

It's good that you added the word "cosmopolitan" here, because large chunks of the population in most European countries don't try to hide their nationalism in any way.

> and in fact telling people they have no attachment to their accidentally assigned nationality

This phrasing is insidious because you're implicitly denying that this position could be hold earnestly. In fact, I'm German, and I will tell you exactly that. I'm grateful for being born into a situation of relative wealth, freedom and stability. But to me, a state is not much more than a provider of legal and physical infrastructure. How can you peek into my head to verify whether that is just a claim or the truth?

> Except when a soccer match is on or something.

Yeah, that one puzzles me, too.
This sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm concerned about the limited ROI. How many practical, modern use cases does Cpp have at this point for those of us who don't work in a few very specific verticals like finance or game dev? Even in those aforementioned industries, C++ is reserved for niche roles / use cases.

Of course not all hobby projects need to be "practical" or directly useful - but time is a valuable resource and I at least would like to have an actual non-toy project goal in mind when choosing to better grok a language. What is C++ uniquely good for in 2017?

Variation in page load times far outweighed any difference the config change might have brought.

No, it's not. Doppelbauer is absolutely right.
He just forget one key strategy with these high dynamic dynos. You make them longer, called cigar. The longer, the more area to apply the force. But then you've got a problem with the tyredyno design. The best cigars are 150cm's long, the ones used to test the best F1 engines. Those are handmade in low numbers, and extremely powerful and sensitive. They always need to need to know the exact absolute angle of the rotor, which is a hard mechanical problem. Wrong cooling fluid will break the engine. Only very few such engines do exist, but they are multitudes better than any cheap engine. Such dynos usually win F1 championships.

The timing calculation approximation we used had no term for 'c' in it at all. The simple approximation is just an RC timing curve: total capacitance of the wire and gates that you need to change, through the on-resistance of the driving FET. The more complex version treats each wire as a transmission line and incorporates its inductance, but ultimately for electrical signals travelling in a medium near a ground the important factor is the dielectric, not the speed of light.

The other massive limiting factor in processor design is heat conduction.

I mostly listen to things from the BBC due to the World Service no longer broadcasting to North America as of 2001. There are some CBC programs since the loss of Radio Canada International. Mostly comedies plus The Archers Omnibus.

So let me tell you that I don't see any value spending money on ChromeOS as it is, and there is hardly any computer store in Europe selling Chromebooks.

When they try to sell them, it is a single model on a corner of the shop with increasing discounts until someone finally takes it away, or they return the unit back.

So from European point of view those "lots of useful tools to solve problems with the computer, based on a wide ecosystem." are nowhere to be seen.

Yup, that's me too. I have a £30 hard deposit limit for gambling (which comes out of my 'nice things to keep me sane' budget anyway) per month. Maybe I'm just lucky but it's genuinely very rare that I walk away out of pocket - I play by the rule of "hit >2*deposit, withdraw deposit amount and keep playing what's left" and for the most part it works, and I get a couple hours of fun out of it.

I know people who'd happily drop £30 a month on junk food or some other frivolous and non-essential purchase, yet they call me an addict. Maybe I am maybe I'm not, I don't know. I do know that I have a good time for a couple of hours and if I'm lucky, I get to walk away with a couple hundred extra in my bank account.
