Absolutely. I'm not suggesting anybody else follow this, I was merely adding my own little anecdote.

Its just a signal though and probably a weaker one than I like to think, but in general, the spammy scummy misleading or annoying adverts are the ones that stick in my mind and then I make a mental note not to buy those things.

Most of my online shopping is "I want X, so I'll check the usual online stores that sell X". If I see adverts for these things, I always feel a bit like they're trying to influence me (because they are!) or mislead me (because _some_ are) and I feel like its not in my interest to buy what the adverts tell me. Of course, that doesn't mean I won't buy it, if I determine its really the best X, but I'll consider other stuff first.

Similarly, I consciously don't click on sponsored links and other such things, if I notice that this is what they are, because I feel like they're trying to trick me into visiting them because they make money from it, not because its a benefit to me.

(my offline shopping is mostly groceries, most clothes and other household things. For these I just browse my local shops and buy what I like -- no outside-of-store advertising plays a part here and in-store advertisement I typically ignore).

But.. yeah, to each their own :)
Stories I won't write
I always tell people to just put the content in files that they then encrypt with GPG. Then, send them over some transport (eg email, IM, postal service). Makes usage really simple where you only need to know a few commands. Those can be turned into a shell script or GUI client if someone wanted to put work into it.

Read the paper.

The algebra of programs is the thing that Backus' FP emphasizes that's new from the context of LISP, et. al..

Let me try another tack: Why do you suppose Backus didn't write the paper in terms of LISP or ML? He knew all that, as you say, and this was his Turing Award lecture. Are we all really going to try to maintain that John Backus didn't have something new and interesting to talk about on this occasion?
"Why were the media and the public so ready to dismiss Kaczynski as crazy?"

I've always marveled at people's insistence on not believing that others can cultivate and act on bad/evil impulses without necessarily being insane. That insistence also pushes a simplistic view of mental illness: suffering from any of the numerous conditions that fall under it doesn't automatically equate to loss of awareness of self/propriety, societal mores, etc. And even in acute cases involving reduced consciousness/self-awareness, it doesn't mean that it occurs 24-7 or crucially, during the planning and execution of a crime.

I was also struck by the noted increase in certain types of “single-issue” terrorism:

"Last year the director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, told Congress, “The most recognizable single issue terrorists at the present time are those involved in the violent animal rights, anti-abortion, and environmental protection movements. … the potential for destruction has increased as terrorists have turned toward large improvised explosive devices to inflict maximum damage.”
And, oxymoronically, plain, old long.

In particular, everything but MSVC treats long as 64 bits, but MSVC treats it as 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

However, I haven't used int or long or long long in ten years or so. Thanks to stdint.h support finally making its way to all platforms, it's exclusively sized types like int32_t and uint16_t for me.

Even if they do, the device will still likely only have one USB-C port - so I would only be able to both listen to music and charge wirelessly, and we're back to square one, unless I get yet another overpriced dongle. It's still a non-starter. (Though if wireless charging becomes a big thing, maybe that'll change things.)

While I certainly agree with your thrust that our voting systems are woefully insecure; laughably so given the other infra produced, this article and your comment hit on something I don't hear discussed much.

Namely that "russian hacking" as it's portrayed often seems either off the mark or boogeyman-ish. Is not a massive social engineering campaign far more feasible and viable given less sensitive information than going through the time and risk to actually break the voting systems themselves? To me Occams razor suggests we have two problems at play but they're often smushed into one problem which prevents the focus on the diagnosis which you'd suggest. Not a _single_ mention of Diebold in the entire article, but heavy focus on foreign interference, where to my eyes the possibility of more subtle and effective interference often goes unmentioned.

It stood out to me when discussing the DNC hacks, the writers would often end with "there was no disruption or modified content so clearly their hack failed or was just a test run"; but to my eyes the data itself is the value target. This assumption that hacks must be disruptive feels like a red herring that distracts from the underlying issues: A lack of incentive for security in our infrastructure, and the natural malleability of societal opinion, both topics often missing from discussion as you point out the former half of.

You're entirely correct, my mistake. Trump's involvement started around 2011-12 but he didn't start the whole thing.
Of course you are free to do whatever you want, it's the entitlement that pisses me off. Somehow, employees charging "too much" is not ok and totally not the companies' fault, whereas offering too little is great management. Then they wonder why there are six million jobs that they can't fill.

Access to pristine hiking trails is a huge deal in terms of quality of life. Not sure how to solve that one in the Bay Area though without being insanely rich and living in Woodside / Los Gatos / etc. Santa Cruz mountains maybe, but that's a long drive on a windy road to get to the South Bay, and way too far from Mountain View/Palo Alto/Menlo Park.
Even further, it's almost like that attitude is the Nash equilibrium of human life. (And if it is, then we cannot expect rational people to deviate from it without significant imposition of force upon them.)

The issue with a whole lot of "new" and "energy saving" houses is often connected to poor ventilation.

Set aside for one moment the vapour from the shower, and from either the dryer or coming from the natular drying of washed clothes, there is the human generated vapour and that created by cooking.

In modern houses (without an efficient ventilation system) the airtightness causes condensation/moisture (usually in corners of the rooms or wherever there is a thermal bridge) which usually evolves in this (or that) form of mould or mildew.

Some (not all) heat insulation materials make the walls (besides airtight) also watertight, which makes the issue worse.

The idea of creating openings to allow the air in, which may be good in - say - a kitchen where the air also exits normally via the extractor hood or chimney (at the cost of some energy/heating/cooling dispersion) does not work in other rooms, where the openings most of the time either do not guarantee the circulation of air or behave as "heat dispersion" holes, negating all the savings that the airtightedness gave you.

Not only, people breath and emits, beside vapour, C02.

I know that it sounds obvious, but if you don't let (fresh) air in, before or later you will find yourself in a low-oxygen environment.

Having "normal", not airtight, windows and doors makes continuous ventilation of the interior of the house a "natural" phenomenon (with a cost in energy).

If you make an "airtight" house, additionally "watertight" (as an example using polystirene or similar for heat insulation) you are essentially living in a unhealthy environment, unless you provide a suitable ventilation system, and a ventilation system without an air-to-air exchange (to re-use part of the heath or cold) will negate most of the saving effects of the added insulation/airtightedness.

So, as pointed out by PoachedSausage, heat recovery ventilation is an actual need in energy saving houses, but it is still rather uncommon.

Angular is a application framework, Vue is a view library. It's really frustrating to see these two compared, because they have different purposes and intentions.

Vue just renders components. There's no state management, built in routing, or any of the other things you get for free with Ember/Angular/etc.

By the time you slap all of that on top, you may have well just stuck with Angular. I noticed in React by the time you added the required add-ons (mobx or redux, polyfills, react router, styled components) it was extremely heavy. Furthermore, maintaining these addons, with their own release cycles and bugs is an additional burden on a team.
