There are two things that I use to make economy flight bearable

- Stand for 30 min, then sit for 30 min or so. You will be surprised by how much better you feel by the end of the flight. I just grab Kindle and read it standing in the isle on domestic or walk to the back of the plane on widebody international flights (usually there is space there).

- Use inflatable pillow like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVR48SW. You will get much better sleep with it

Clojure. It works very well, I prefer the lisp-1 nature of it to something like Common Lisp, and I really appreciate being able to call out to the JVM (or Javascript, but I don't use ClojureScript at all) for whatever I please.

It has Pulsar, which is miles ahead of any other lisp's threading abilities.

I wish it had a more mature static typing story, but I guess you can't have everything.
Hah — when I read "This is 100% off-topic" I assumed you were making a completely absurd 100% wrong point about "this" being the AGF link from the parent comment. But you meant "This [following stuff I'm writing about]…"

It is SO easy to misread things, which is one of many reasons that AGF is so important a principle.

Regardless of Scala, it's an absolutely insane idea to develop your own language to write your apps.

Either stick to the real Scala or switch to Java or Kotlin, but writing your own language is a failure waiting to happen.

Assuming good faith is slightly different than not assuming bad faith, but it's related. Self-interest and good faith are compatible in many cases. Assuming good faith is a principle worth following as a guideline, and when you recognize that it is in conflict with someone's self-interest then you can be reasonable to at least recognize the likelihood that self-interest wins out.
SoftU2F was designed fully conscious of this. It was largely developed to help push forward the idea of a software based token with every hope that, over time, native browser and operating system implementations push things fully into the mainstream.
I can still type faster on physical keyboards. But the two other noteworthy advantages were

1. Ability to use the phone as a emulator machine. I had a Xperia X10 Mini Pro few years back. I used for playing Snes, Genesis, GBA/C, NES games. Playing the same games with a touch keyboard is almost impossible. Not to mention native Android/iPhone games are just gimmicks at this point due to being crippled by having only touch based input.

2. It's easier to enter arcane commands and text with the physical keyboard. Useful for things like SSH, fiddling with the terminal etc.

cmake has improved so much since 3.0 that it's almost unrecognizable. Though much of the cruft remains, thanks to backwards compatibility, and anything involving list or string operations is still absolute hell, I dare say it's actually pleasant to use, at least compared to 2.8.whatever-shipped-with-ubuntu-precise.

Personally, I'm glad we use cmake at work simply because we have a diversity of preferred build tools: some people like to work in XCode or Eclipse, others like to use a text editor and make, others like to use a text editor and ninja. While we all suffer a bit with cmake, we all benefit from its position as a "metabuild" tool.

That's... not true. You mention Kotlin, that was developed by JetBrains as a better language to develop Intellij and plugins.

Hack/HHVM was developed by Facebook to modernize PHP.

There are plenty of cases where organizations successfully developed their own languages/compilers that gave them advantages. It's insane only if you have no good reason to do it. This sounds like they have a need: compile times are slow.

You're playing with words. They are creating their own language which is a subset of Scala, and they decide which features to keep based on whether they are fast enough to compile.

The point is: developing your own language to ship your apps is crazy.
This fetishization of "free speech" has to stop.

These people do not respect free speech. They do not respect an open society. They do not respect freedom. They wish to destroy all of these things and they are entirely upfront about it. And yet all I've read the past few days is hand wringing about the "rights" of those who wish to destroy that of which open societies have built.

At least the citizens of the early 1930's didn't have a historical reference for their passivity. What's your excuse?

While technically this may be the ACLU trying to set limits on acceptable free speech, they seem like pretty reasonable ones. In a world where they have ensured your first amendment right to be a huge racist in public, is it really critical you have a gun on you at that exact moment?

My main advice would be to caution that most of the advice you're going to get is pretty hit-and-miss; even if some of us have done smart things to improve our life, we usually also got lucky along the way, which can be hard to replicate.

A critical turning point in my life was joining a web comic's forum in '01, which led to an IRC chat room which was eventually distilled down to a dozen-ish people around my age who were all interested in programming, among other things. I got an interview for my first real job through a friend made in that chat room.

Which is why my other advice is to "network", by which I mean, "make friends on the internet". The sad truth is that knowing the right people matters. Some people inherit a great network, the people their parents know, some people get a network by going to college or joining a fraternity. Not having a good network is something that really holds you back, way more than not having a perfect resume. But the internet gives you at least a chance to find some people you would otherwise never meet, make friends, and if you're lucky, they're good programmers at companies that are hiring, and they'll feel comfortable saying, "Hey, I know this person, they're not an asshole and they seem to know their stuff", and you'll have a shot. Not having a degree or an impressive resume will hurt you, but a lot of start ups have trouble finding good programmers and won't care as long as you can do the work.

Meant to add the 'your' as a way to generalize the statement. It's fine if English is not his first language, that's why you have others proof read before publishing. If there wasn't much effort to edit, I tend to presume there wasn't much effort put into it more generally.

>Banking cells for the purpose of use later in regenerative medicine is supremely pointless. It is a hedge against technological development in cell reprogramming and repair

Obviously, I disagree that the hedge is pointless. I do agree that rejuvenation tech will improve, I am working on some, actually. However, IMO a youthful reservoir of multipotent cells represents an early onramp for many of these applications.

There are vast unknowns in cellular biology, and I never need go back more than a few months to find some largely unknown but recently discovered machinery: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28798046 Some have been known for a time, and yet remain poorly understood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_(organelle) Sometimes, just when we think we have a handle on something, we find that the reality is more complicated: http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v14/n6/full/nmeth.4293.h...

Not to mention the abysmal state of reproducibility in biomedical research: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39054778

Don't get me wrong, I am not a pessimist. We are making, and will continue to make, great strides. However, biology intervention in humans is very difficult. Even something as basic as male pattern baldness continues to confound us. Just because we have the tools in the lab, doesn't mean that we can practically apply them. However, we will be able to work upon cells ex vivo much sooner than we can in vivo... ;)
Oh man - this is gone?

>You could continue arguing against the mounting evidence that Qt apps...

Let me stop you right there since from then on you're thinking with an incorrect assumption. I'm not talking about Qt Widgets; I'm talking about QML.

And I've already hinted at why we aren't seeing an explosion of QML apps: Electron is front-end development with desktop APIs. This is something JS developers already do. On top of that, it's currently fashionable. QML isn't.

It's easy to see why: QML has existed for a while, took some time to mature and it's not as good for making native looking apps as other traditional toolkits, therefore it never enjoyed widespread popularity among desktop developers outside of KDE and embedded development (an area where you need performance but don't have an an established HIG to follow).

Therefore, it's normal for webdevs to not have even heard of QML or to confuse it with regular Qt widgets.

> "Are I out of touch? No, it's the other developers who are wrong!"

So before this post you didn't even know what QML is but already took the moral high ground to disregard me as grumpy grandpa.

> I'll offer a (mostly poorly-informed) opinion: Electron is the first cross-platform toolkit I've seen that has resulted in apps that don't feel out-of-place like their other cross-platform brethren

I hope you can see why I believe misinformation is the problem behind this epidemic. QML offers the exact same approach to theming, giving you simple primitives to create widgets of your own design without the need for an unholy mess of HTML, CSS and a JavaScript framework; just a tiny bit of QML in a file and you have your own component rendered on a 3D accelerated scene graph with the option to add JavaScript for complex logic.

And I actually happen to have an example to back my words up.

Here: https://github.com/grigio/borderless-camera is an Electron app the author posted on a programming subreddit a while ago. Take a look at the source code, build toolchain and so on; the usual.

I made this as a response to the criticism he got about the high resource consumption for a seemingly trivial app: https://gitlab.com/mixedCase/qml-borderless-camera
I invite you to take a look at the app.qml file. That is the entire source code.

Funny you should mention Kotlin, as it's the result of JetBrains doing just that: developing their own language to write their apps. Mozilla represents another successful example with Rust.

I'm of the opinion that developing new, purpose-built languages (or extending existing ones) is a strategy that isn't given as much consideration as it should.
you think compile times are so slow that they're saving time by writing a whole language? I'd like to see the numbers on that...
I didn't know that constitutional rights can't be combined!

Will the ACLU also refuse to defend your freedom of speech if the gov't is unlawfully seizing your property at the same time?
I am not advocating forcing businesses to become public forums, nor did I do so in my post above. I don't advocate government intervention as the solution to every societal ill, and definitely do not in this case.

I am just asking the question, if all businesses choose to not be public forums (as in their right, which I do not dispute), is that good for society? Some would argue that all Internet platforms deciding to regulate speech is a positive because it removes hate speech, for example. I would argue that it is not good because it eliminates public spaces.

The key thing about the public square is interaction with the public. If all that people wanted was free speech they would just go shout in the woods. And the Internet is becoming that. The liberals will shout with the liberals and the conservatives with the conservatives.
> It is only hard to believe if you are entirely unfamiliar with the history of this discussion.

Completely disagree. The crux of most historical discussions were based on ability and was blanketed to all individual women, as they were implying that gender was the only causal factor. Discussing how prenatal testosterone may be a factor in influencing decisions for a distribution of a group is a completely different beast.

The thing that bothers me about the left is their inability to accept any sort of biological determinism as a possible large contributing factor to anything. Out of curiosity, if we were to use your analogy loosely:
> Let's take a more obvious example: the common racist claim that black people are lazy.

If evidence came out that a certain portion of blacks were missing some sort of hormone that is almost completely causal in lack of desire to eat apples, so that it skewed their distribution in a statistically significant way, would you accept it? If it pertained to something considered more valuable, like say, intelligence or athletic ability, would you still accept it? Do you see that this shirks the definition of racism since it is talking about distributions and not individuals?

> That would correctly generate outrage, because a) one should not be ignorant about the history of these things when jumping into a discussion with such impact on people's lives….

Anyone can take offense to anything and be “outraged.” What good does that do? A sliding metric of people being sensitive and getting emotional is no reason to not have discussions. In fact, some people have disorders making it difficult for them to navigate social contexts tactfully. Are you saying people on the autism spectrum shouldn’t be a part of the discussion? This could possibly apply to James (I don’t know), especially if you’ve watched any of his interviews.

>b) there is a long, long history of virulent racists edging their way into the mainstream by dressing up their prejudices just enough to sound reasonable to the ignorant.

Would you mind giving a modern example?
I felt the same way. I served on a jury for a nonviolent drug case, and felt like I heard a lot of thinly veiled racism during jury deliberations. It made me sad how eager most of my fellow jurors were to throw the book at the defendant as if her doing time was going to make the world a better place.

For anyone starting a mission-driven company, there's not really any practical downside to incorporating as a PBC, though it's still relatively new and untested. It's much less effort than becoming a B Corp, which you can choose to do afterward.

I see some confusion on terms--

PBC: legal corporate structure in 25+ states and growing, but still uncommon

B Corp: a more widely known certification from B Lab

You can be a PBC without being a B Corp but all B Corps need to become PBCs by a certain year iirc

(We incorporated Nava PBC as the first, and I think only, government contractor that's also a PBC.)

I can confirm, I know a teacher who used DRDOS 7, WP 5.1, and Harvard Graphics to make all their classroom handouts.

They use more modern Linux / Debian stuff for actually browsing the web and other computing tasks, but keep several reliable DOS machines for school prep, because of being burned on Windows and Linux having problems (mostly related to poorly timed updates, or fsck'ing a disk) which used up hours on a night when new material had to be ready by the next morning.
