If genetics were that fickle life would have never happened. The vast majority of mutations are neutral or affect the functionality of the resulting protein only by a matter of degree.

Your example totally ignores how selection works. Life does not generate genes randomly and see what sticks. Prebiotic chemistry might have worked like that to some degree. But at the point oxygen transport was invented every gene in an organism would already been subjected to billions of years of selection pressure and the gene or genes that eventually came to code for hemoglobin would already have had some other, related purpose.

You are being extremely rude. Nobody on this thread has been as personally abrasive as you have. If you have a technical argument to make, make it; nobody is going to call you names for doing that. Technical arguments, even those you don't feel are adequately supported with evidence, are not insults. But "whataboutism" and "appeals to authority" and "religion" and "arrogance" are insults, and speak to motives and intents, which are things you have no business bringing into this discussion. Stop.
Yeah, I'm quite familiar with these toolkits. (Been at it 30 years, yo.)

The thing about the ligature trick, and fonts in general, and more specifically the packing of known functional GUI elements into a broader ligature description, is that its human readable/comprehendible without also requiring a great deal of 'programming'. Well, in fact Chartwell "is" programming, or at least coding (not Turing..) of information in a reproducible way - and the fact that we use the language of glyphs as a GUI metaphor, is also appealing. My affinity for this approach is that it is tied to human symbol-making in an intrinsic, self-describing way; whereas a technical GUI system might consists of a multi-variate collection of abstractions, putting it all into glyphs and ligatures ties it into our most basic of operational agilities, reading and writing.

Not, compiling, hacking, code, transmogrifying, mutating, extending, abstraction, tool-pushing, etc., but rather "describe this in glyphs/ligatures like every language ever, or GTFO>.."

I mean, WIMP has its thing, and touch and mobile too, but I do wonder if there isn't something to a pure graphemes and symbols based mode of interaction... which I would argue is where we are heading, with our multiple-gigabyte OS updates, anyway .. when we could nevertheless be doing it in <128k.

> "The surrounding areas are so hugely populated"
I dont think it is? that area is largely unpopulated. hokkaido is t he biggest population center in the area that I can think of, with japan being pretty dense and that area being rather large, has about 5 million people.

that area is very cold, though vladivostok has a 'large' population considering the area of 600k.
It's extremely cold? Vladivostok is Russia's main city there, and only kept ice free with the help of ice breakers and a thermal plant.

https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/79051/is-the-port...

If memory serves, just a bit further south the ports are ice free. Russia had a port in Lüshunkou (then called Port Arthur). It is just west of Korea, and without ice. It was the subject of the Russo-Japanese war.

While looking that up I also saw that the Ming dynasty banned Han chinese from settling in the north for 300 years. So, that likely also had an impact.

From my own experience (i have 5 year old) what works for us:

- ikea whiteboard - good if you have intention to work in pairs. starting from '-', '+' gradually increasing numbers and complexity. Mine likes drawing and erasing

- games - tic tac toe (different strategies), checkers just starting, playing cards (counting numbers, bigger lesser numbers), Battleship paper game

- diy kits - like on ali express 'diy kids science kits'. They're pretty low quality but gives general idea of some physics

What doesn't work for us:

- apps - boring for kid in a long run / questionable impact on eyesight / he's getting used to games rather then apps

- toys - like that: https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Robot-Activity-Pie... doesn't work in long run

I'd recommend only really addressing the most obvious attacks, rather than trying to follow up on everything that even looks like it.

I once got an "emergency" call at 7am (I had been up doing something rather late), about a machine I run attacking this guy. After some digging with him, the machine was our public-service NTP server, and the packets were on udp/123, in response to packets his system was sending out. Ended up with him yelling at me and hanging up, and me shutting down our public NTP server for good.

My wife and I were at a garden party in the early 90s where RMS was at also. We were talking about various things and somehow the fact that my wife was pregnant with our first child came up. RMS started talking about how maybe people shouldn't just be allowed to have children. In particular, he brought up that some towns require people to have dog licenses before they can own a dog. He pondered that the government maybe should require reproduction licenses before allowing people to have children.

Granted some people can make terrible parents, but I don't think allowing the government a voice in deciding whom can be parents is a better solution.

Does 'Programming as a Craft' exist, and how does one engage in it?
I recently read this post, [Programming-as a Craft](https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/24/programming-as-craft/), and it really summed up what I've been feeling on this journey:

> There is a need for something of a “slow code” movement, one that doesn’t reinvent the wheel every few years. A movement toward more stable and complete libraries, of languages that don’t break backwards compatibility. Of seeing the field as a craft and part of a long lineage of intellectual forebears instead of as a terrain where the masters need to be overthrown for the latest junk to be installed.

A lot of what this article sums up the hobbyist or beginners feeling: everything seems jumbled, complex and disorganized in the world of programming, that goes double for web development. What do you guys think, do you agree? Also, what do you think of the concept of 'craft programming', it made me think of Ruby and the joy of programming (pure Ruby, no Rails). There is something fun, and elegant about programming something very simple, like a tic-tac-toe or hangman games, working out the bugs and kinks. Working from the terminal 'feels' right. I've always like the elegance of simplicity when working on certain programs, and others (the web!) I get a headache...maybe I should just follow my bliss and stick with simple, clean and elegant programs. I wonder if there is more to this. Any thoughts?
This is probably related to Prime Generating Polynomials [1]. Euler first noticed that `n^2 + n + 41` is prime for the 40 integers n = 0, 1, 2, ..., 39. A second-order polynomial should look more or less like a line when plotted around a spiral like this.

There are also third-order prime polynomials, which you might be able to see when visualizing the primes in 3d.

You sir (or ma'am), are a credit to modern web developers :) I love that you're using PE as a development tool and not just doing it because it's a good way to build robust websites and applications. I may have to try and sell your reasoned approach to some of my colleagues (they're not PE averse, but don't always see it as a great benefit).
Absolutely, not getting the degree was justified. I also believe that in some fields (software development) a degree isn't really necessary, and I'm glad most employers see the value in experience and willingness to learn.

Taxes and administration: not that complex in Belgium so I can't say much about that, but I value correctness a lot and that makes my administration easy to do (I never ever postpone doing my taxes, paying bills, ...). I usually find a way to make things interesting too, by keeping my administration as digital as I can. I'm always an early adopter.

Exercise: I struggle with this. Once I get going it usually goes quite well (but always have to combine it with something that does interest me, for example running with "Zombies, Run!", a sort of interactive audiobook/running trainer combination), but tend to stop completely if I hit roadblocks.

Social life: maybe. I have a great core group of friends that I've known since high school but that's about it, and I am not great at forming deep bonds. I have some work friends, but not at the level that I'd invite them over for dinner on a random week night. It's not at all at a problematic level though. I don't really know. I tend to be extremely honest and open about basically everything, and that scares / freaks out a lot of people, so it's not easy to make new good friends.

One of my old staging subdomains had an old Digital Ocean address left in it for a bit while we migrated some servers, and Google indexed some random ebook pirate site too, here[1] is a snap of the logs for anyone who is curious. Once I updated the DNS, Googlebot started to blow us up.

I never would have even noticed, had it not been for Googlebot indexing the crap out of us, and causing 10s of thousands of sessions to be created in a short time which threw our Munin graphs off the charts.

The site we were staging ran fine, redis handled it without breaking a sweat, but we're not a public facing service, so I just straight up blocked Google Bot w/ an nginx rule.

I remember when we used the term "Graceful Degradation".

It really isn't that hard to design a functional HTML site and then layer Javascript and AJAX over top of it to enhance the experience. There are very few sites that actually need to be using Frameworks like Angular and React.

Sometimes I wonder if most developers would even be able to design a functional site using only HTML. It seems like most don't know the difference between a button and an anchor.

With modern server side frameworks it's even easier to support graceful degradation or progressive enhancement as the frameworks will handle the accept header processing for you.

"Doctors aren't necessarily scientists."

Too true. A medical education is akin to parrot training; the body of knowledge a medical student must master, the manner of instruction and time frame required renders it impossible for medical students to verify their education. I have had a few scientist type friends attempt medical school, but dropped out because they rejected the lack of verification capability of everything they were being taught. Speaking to many doctors, they are afraid of their own profession. Mix in the American Medical Industry's insistence on profit, and the entire profession falls into suspicion. Doctors are blind, and their opinions need to be treated with respect towards their parrot education and the drumming out of opportunities to question their education and how that impacts a person's critical analysis capability.

> The surrounding areas are so hugely populated and it’s a coast.

To elaborate: "It's a coast" doesn't help much when there aren't warm-water ports (ie, ports that can be used year-round). Even nowadays, shipping by water is the cheapest way to deliver goods, making warm-water ports still incredibly lucrative.

As it turns out, a large portion of European history can be explained simply by the fact that Russia need(ed) warm-water ports, and understanding the actions that they took in pursuit of them.

A related fun fact: in Civ V, if you start as Venice, you're much more likely to spawn on a starting tile that's near water - that's documented and well-known among players. While it's not documented, I'm fairly certain from personal experience that if you start as Russia, you're more likely to spawn on an inland tile, meaning that you'll have to expand in order to be able to establish seafaring routes.
My informed but non-professional understanding is that: the good news is if your kids are biologically your own and you are naturally curious, they are predisposed to be as well. The bad news is that studies show that if you want to steer them towards being more or less that way through parenting style it is not going to have any long term effect. [0] I came to this understanding (which, I'm aware, is pretty different from the public's understanding of child-rearing) from reading, among other things, The Nurture Assumption and the chapter on children in The Blank Slate.

[0] That's not to say that there's no correlation in the real world between parents trying to steer their kid to be more curious and the kid growing up to be more curious, just that there's no causation because both effects are caused by their shared genes.

I suspect insulin is only a small part of the story in obesity and other hormones are more important, esp. growth hormone family (e.g. ghrelin) and steroids - in starting the cascade that leads to metabolic syndrome. We do not know nearly enough and any book is liable to be outdated by at least 10 to 20 years and trying to sell something.

Otherwise diabetics with insulin replacement wouldn't go fat - but instead even controlled type 2 diabetes is highly linked to obesity. (Both ways!)
Likewise type 1 diabetics are somewhat more likely to be obese despite tight control on insulin levels.

Not trying to anger any of the people on either side of this argument, but my interest is genuinely peaked here.

How would you define the difference between false information and "wrongthink"? Is "wrongthink" just ideas which we have no ability to test in a complete fashion? So something like geocentrism is false information, but asian supremacy would be "wrongthink"?

And if so, what about historical things? Slavery for instance. Is it false information to assert that slavery would be good? Or is it "wrongthink"? The answer to questions like that is going to determine how much stock the average person is willing to put into the idea that "wrongthink" is appreciably different than "false information".
