OT a bit but I think still related. 8 years ago when I switch to OSX I was furious with finder. Tiny window, no hierarchical browsing and the search just doesn't do shit that is useful.

I normally default to locate or find now so much that I was using it the other day I was reminded about how much it sucked. It's literally identical (aside from tags and labels) to what it was forever ago and is a terrible paradigm. I looked around for a bit for some help on refining the search sensibly and nothing in the OS helped (back on topic!). I've been using a great replacement for Finder called PathFinder that does everything Finder should do, but you can't swap it out. All the native places I access Finder are important inroads. They used to have instructions to hack it but apple shut them down.

I feel more and more like UI and usability innovation totally ate itself and died at maybe a specific moment in time ~6 years ago. Where did the people and companies go that do cool new things? Are the giants on their laurels long enough yet to get eaten? I'd switch totally to Ubuntu or Mint for my desktop work, but I do things that require the adobe suite, I need a trackpad that works as well as the mac one without fighting it, and I want to just solve problems, not fiddle with barely supported gizmos for weeks.

Did we reach the absolute end of all we can do with this juggling of rectangles that display and accept text and now we just get everything that matters to a power user stripped off for the sake of what "most users care about"? I really don't think we have.

I'm still pissed and I still have no answers. My kingdom for a $3000 laptop that "Just works" and helps me murder code, deployment, graphic arts, music, and still loads HBONow.
At c/10 that's not a big factor, yet.

PHP. If you don't want to use a framework, just use a WAMP/LAMP stack and you will be fine.
could you show an actual example where commands are polymorphic types (e.g. they come from a separate DLL) and this optimization actually happens ? (the actual "updating" of the command doesn't need to cross DLL boundaries, eg a DLL both provides a command, instantiates it, and updates it. The command queue is instantiated by another DLL though).
Not only that, but when I have a problem with my Mac, I go to Stackexchange and ask my question there. Many times I get a useful answer. Apple could set up a team to help people over there, and officially support it, like Ubuntu does. Documenting is one thing, helping people with their questions is the easy way out.
Can you tell us more about what was holding you back and what worked for you?
I'm with Descartes on this one.
You're totally being factious in favor of free software. Not facetious, though, I agree.

To your actual point, what hampers free software more than anything imo is a lack of focus on usability. People buy Apple because, less now than a few yeara ago but still the vast majority of the time, it Just Works. People buy Creative Cloud for much the same reason, and Office 365, and whatever other proprietary products you care to name, because they mostly work reliably, and it's not hard to find help when they don't.

This is the standard free software needs to meet in order to compete. The reason it doesn't, I think, is because the economic incentive to do so is not there. That's not a problem I know how to solve, and I wish I did, because then I'd be able to advocate free software (and hardware!) for general use, as I would strongly prefer to do. As the matter stands now, though, I can't do so without critically damaging my credibility with those among whom I would so advocate.

That's a problem that needs to be solved. How does it become so?
He would have been interested in Ed Lorenz' work (from the butterfly effect fame) I suppose. According to Tim Palmer:

"Despite being known for his pioneering work on chaotic unpredictability, the key discovery at the core of meteorologist Ed Lorenz's work is the link between space-time calculus and state-space fractal geometry. Indeed, properties of Lorenz's fractal invariant set relate space-time calculus to deep areas of mathematics such as Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem."

"Consider a point p in the three-dimensional Lorenz state space. Is there an algorithm for
determining whether p belongs to IL? There are certainly large parts of state space which don’t
contain any part of IL. However, suppose p was a point which ‘looked’ as if it might belong to
IL. How would one establish whether this really is the case or not? If we could initialise the
Lorenz equations at some point which was known to lie on IL, we could then run (1) forward to
see if the trajectory passes through p. If the integration is terminated after any finite time and
the trajectory still hasn’t passed through p, we can’t really deduce anything. We can’t be sure
that if the integration was continued, it would pass through p at some future stage.
The Lorenz attractor provides a geometric illustration of the Gödel/Turing incompleteness
theorems: not all problems in mathematics are solvable by algorithm. This linkage has been
made rigorous by the following theorem [7]: so-called Halting Sets must have integral Hausdorff
dimension. IL has fractional Hausdorff dimension - this is why it is called a fractal. Hence we can
say that IL is formally non-computational. To be a bit more concrete, consider one of the classic
undecidable problems of computing theory: the Post Correspondence Problem [46]. Dube [16]
has shown that this problem is equivalent to asking whether a given line intersects the fractal
invariant set of an iterated function system [4]. In general, non-computational problems can all
be posed in this fractal geometric way."

> antibiotics cause mitochondrial dysfunction (particularly bacteriocidal antibiotics)

You are very assertive, but this proves that you don't know what you are talking about. Antibiotics are all "bacteriocidal".

Beside, saying the mitochondries are responsible is like saying that the arm is responsible of an incapacity to move an arm. It could be due to a neurological, muscular or squeletical root cause. Mitochondries are the factories of ATP but there are many other factors in play.

A cause could be a lack of oxygen due to nocturnal apnea, etc. Lack of vitamins, lack of iron and/or red cells, etc. etc.
Thank you!

Just read Fredric Brown's Honeymoon in Hell in the November 1950 issue. Made me smile, gave me a little hope that perhaps we might all get on together after all.

What do you find so strange about it? Even growing up in 70s and 80s, my parents had three televisions. It's not like TVs are luxury items. We had one in my room, one in their room and one in the family room. Now, they have five -- two additional TVs one in my dad's "man cave" and one in my moms office.

TVs last forever or at least they did back in the CRT era. My Dad's TV is one I bought in 1996 when I first graduated from college. All of their TVs are CRTs.

Even all of ours were less than $400 bought over the course of 7 years.
This is a strange way to define "bigger".

Google and Facebook combined have a total market cap (sum of all shares) is around 1.2 trillion dollars, which would represent only a 5% increase in tax revenue for America to simply buy all the shares.

However, the Government doesn't need to turn a profit: Google and Facebook combined spend only around $200 million dollars per year on R&D and operating expenses, which would be a rounding error on the tax budget.
It does help with SEO, if you give a link back to your site :)

I recommend Ian Stewart's Letters to a Young Mathematician. He addresses your question (Platonism vs formalism) pretty succinctly, in my opinion as a noob.

Accordingly "the working philosophy of most mathematicians is a mostly unexamined Platonist-Formalist hybrid ... Math is a product of human minds but not bendable to human will. Exploring it is like exploring a new tract of country ... but the mathematical countryside does not come into existence until you explore it."
Some of those ideas are also in OOP. But I think that might just be seeing what you are used to. The paper's ideas fit eg OCaml's ideas of modules and abstract types just as well.

> "Documentation effort towards OSX would help vastly more people than similar efforts for any flavor of Linux"

From a purely utilitarian perspective:

- The same amount of effort spent trying to document will result in more documentation being produced on a free system, since free systems are easier to document.

- The same amount of documentation produced will result in more benefit from end users for a free system, because more people will be able to use a free system.

>"seperator.join(string_list)", which is as efficient as it can be.

If you store strings in array, it is not efficient to concatenate it at all. Strings could be implemented as an arrays or strings internally, so none of (insert, delete, append, prepend) series would impact performance so much. Editors actually do that, and your text buffer is not a single string that memmoves every time you type a char.

Strings as they are today almost everywhere are simply of bad design.
I don't understand this speculation. There are better plans if he was clam and had time enough to dump a body, navigate a submarine to a different spot, and scuttle it to wash away evidence.

He could just claim that they both abandoned the submarine and then got separated. What benefits are there to make a elaborated plan?

It is allways important to talk about Facebook and that its influence is growing way to far. But the suggestions in this Article are very sad. As Example: "You can also use Telegram which ensures encryption and privacy across all communications." is a Big lie. Groupchats are not Encrypted using Telegram. And for Private Encrypted Chats you have to navigate through submenues to get encryption.
Then: "Thirdly, you can take control of your smartphone’s mic through another means. On Android, an app called RYL or “record your life” lets you do just that." What the fuck? To block Facebook using my Mic I should install another app, recording ALL THE TIME? I dont want to offend the Author, i think we need more people writing about themes like facebook google privacy and more, but those suggestions are not good. My Suggestions: stop using facebook, use Diaspora or Mastodon. Instant Messages via XMPP (i strongly suggest the app "Conversations"). Root your Smartphone, dont by Iphones. With a rooted smartphone you could easily deny the usage of the mic for facebook instead of installing RYL.
But that's the sound of the tree decaying/dying, not communicating as the GP seemed to imply.

Think long and hard about secure storage then. Fireproof safe, bolted to the wall, at the least. Also, carrying wads of cash with you when you travel is a security risk, either via theft, or just by losing it.
Nice! I will try it out as soon as I can but if it rids me of Immutable.js I will be so happy. Its API is so convoluted and you have to use .toJS() all the time since using get() is so clunky and while transforming value back to JS it will fail if it was undefined. Many small things that succeed in killing the joy of immutability for me. (But mostly the huge API that requires way too much studying)

Just a quick question is there a helper library for connecting immutable redux-store to localStorage? That is something I dearly miss if there is none although you could write one yourself I guess.

There is also no chaining of method calls or withMutations equivalent. Granted for small stuff not that important but it would be nice to have them in toolbox if use case arises.

But thanks. Immutability in JS is such a pain which will hopefully change in the future. Until then I'm looking for the next best thing.
CFS is in the blood. There are now several different researchers that have reported that there is something in the blood of patients that induces abnormal metabolism in cells. CFS cells taken out of the patient's blood and into healthy blood are mostly normal. Muscle cells grown in presence of CFS blood show altered metabolism.

Only one group has published their findings here
http://insight.jci.org/articles/view/89376

During this conference Ron Davis showed some of his data on this. CFS cells subjected to salt stress can't keep up with the resulting increased ATP demands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7bBMXQSmuM&t=25748

Another researcher present at the conference also found abnormally low metabolism in T cells of patients.
I shouldn't have to go to terminal to edit a conf file to make audio or video work. I have every single time I have tried Linux on the desktop. It does not work out of the box. You must know how to use terminal and edit Byzantine configurations, and read Linux forum posts from 2005 to make basic functionality work. It's my "subjective" opinion, but after 5+ hours troubleshooting and configuring as a power user who does know how to edit conf files I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
In college, I once spent a month using ed exclusively, to force myself to really learn to use it. I wouldn't really want to go back (except for the perverse challenge), but it did make me really appreciate the power of ed/sed/awk/perl and ideas like Plan9's sam/samterm.

I dunno, they might be strapped for resources. Maybe they could hire a documentation team with all that Apple Music revenue.

Seriously, a company with the more GDP than entire nations should be able to do a better job at documenting than the Fedora team. Even if it is a loss leader.

A better slide from the conference comparing

- Healthy plasma and healthy cells

- CFS cells in CFS plasma

- CFS cells exposed to salt ATP/salt stress

- CFS cells exposed to pyruvate/salt stress

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7bBMXQSmuMt=25900

Pyruvate allows the CFS cells to tollerate the stress, suggesting that there is a defect in energy production. Pyruvate is one the fuels used in the Krebs cycle to produce ATP.

Another way to look at this is that the AI has no "ethics" or "morals," and therefore the AI wouldn't care that it's betraying its buddy AI/human. In other words, the AI would "sell its own mother," if it came out ahead.

I think it's an important perspective to keep in mind as we start integrating AI more and more into our societies "because it's a more efficient/smarter way" of doing things. Perhaps higher efficiency won't always be a desired outcome.

Leaving an AI in charge of nation's healthcare funds comes to mind here. Would an "advanced AI" start denying people healthcare if they have a "low enough" chance of survival or because they've reached an age where continuing to pay for their treatment is not "cost-effective" for the society anymore? Is that a desired outcome?
That's about the same vibe I got from GDB so far. I don't use it all to often, so I'm certainly not that "effective" in it, but I still get my debugging done. And yes, it is a bit arcane.

However, on the topic of picking this over the VS debugger: The lack of arcane configuration, socket permissions and usage steps required to get it running on remote machines is what would make me pick it over VS nearly all the time. I haven't yet gotten to try the VS2017 one, but its predecessors were abysmal in that regard.

Tellingly, GDB's simplicity in that regard - which is the same as far as many other UNIXy tools go - comes from the approach of "if you have an SSH connection, you're good to go", which is something that is lacking in almost any Microsoft tool.
I actually didn't downvote you, but I found your comment mildly offensive with respect to this topic because of the line

> But yes, in allowing women to be strong and independent, I think we also must allow men to be weak and to ask for help if they need it.

Men have this problem precisely because they are "strong and independent". Not pressuring men to work constantly to the point of isolation is not the same as "allowing men to be weak".

Bitcoin valuation is pure speculation with no underlying value to revert to (that's the optimistic scenario, at least — the pessimistic scenario is that the underlying value it could/should revert to is basically zero).

As all financial products it has the bizarre property that they have opposite elasticity compared to ordinary goods & services: while for most stuff, quantity demanded rises as price drops, for financial assets the demand rises as the price rises (and demand will drop when price drops).

It's pointless to ask whether $4000 is ”a lot” for a bitcoin or not, it's basically impossible to estimate whether in the near or medium future the price will be higher or lower... ask yourself instead how many people you think will be willing to give you more than $4000 for your bitcoin in the near future. Why would they want to? If you think there are, go for it.

Yes, we've been in contact with the dev of that project. Some of 4chan's complaints with it are as follows:

- a ton of dependencies
- randomly hangs
- can't handle suspending
- cursor blinks when not in insert mode
- doesn't work
- Python not C
- QT
- Lacked security features

I'm not sure if all of these are true but this list was their complaints and you'd have to ask them for more detail. A lot of them do sound like they're fixable or just personal preference.

4chan has been discussing options since mid-June and probably has around 50 threads revolving around Netrunner project. And the current devs are not the same people that started the initiative, so the project has evolved quite a bit.

Netsurf, is another project that comes up quite a bit: http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
As well as various forks of the major browsers such as palemoon, icecat, unChromium, ungoogled-chromium, waterfox, opera 12.x, vivaldi, and otter.

For me, the WebExtension transition isn't all doom and gloom. But I can't assume everyone uses the same addons as me. The transition to WebExtensions is nearing and a lot of extensions people use just don't have a viable replacement.
