This is absolutely silly.

I am not an apple fanboy, but I had a couple generations of Danger products (by far the most modern at the time) prior to the release of the iPhone and owned a few generations of iPhone from the start. The 1st generation iPhone was revolutionary and deserves every last bit of credit it gets. The 3G was a yawner, like adding leather seats to a flying car. Yeah 3G is nice... but seriously, the car is freaking flying how did you not notice that??

This piece of information just amplified my depression when I learned about it, because of past not-income-optimized life decisions (okay, probably even more because of limited abilities and capabilities), I know know for sure that with a high probability I won't plausibly have ability to buy my way into that kind of world and yet I'm regularly reminded that it exists and not only that, but how it exactly looks like.

Of course, in the past, the equivalent me still wouldn't have had access to the world of magnificent parties and elite courtesans either. But I believe that the whole of that kind of social strata would have been much more distant, and thus less traumatizing in that particular psychosocial way. Sure, you'd see carriages passing by (or passing over you if unlucky) now and then, and maybe you'd buy a ticket to see the King have his breakfast (and it would be once in a year event to satisfy your curiosity), but that lifestyle wouldn't be marketed to you. There wouldn't be the constant visual reminders that if you'd done something differently, how different your life could be.

That's on the BBS itself. E.g. a regular account might get an hour per day whereas an 'elite' might get 4 hours per day. BBS' were of course run through phone lines and while many operators set up multiple concurrent lines, access was still relatively limited so time limits on the site were necessary. Donors, by contrast, enabled operators to expand their service and buy even more lines and so on.

The games themselves are a different story. It's of course impossible to prove a negative, but I certainly never experienced any paid cheating or favoritism in Trade Wars - which I played on dozens of different sites and later on on the large telnet sites once the internet became a thing.

As a male who is considerably above the recommended age for toys like these, I'm curious what your opinion is on the toys I see in most department stores. To me, they seem to be putting lipstick on a pig: you have things like "engineer Barbie" or "mix your own chemicals lip balm" that involve combining the two packets provided in the box (oh, and designing your own lab coat!). I guess it might raise awareness in girls that STEM is something that they could do, but I don't think it's doing a particularly good job at portraying it. Thoughts?

How does he define "civilization"? Arguably the US is just part of a much older civilization, coming at least since the end of the Western Roman Empire. Resetting the clock just because some English guys decided to split off from the other English people seems a bit silly.
Similar but not the same: most days day at work I create one or more txt files in notepad (kate to be exact) where I paste every temporary info while I work on some task. Basically everything that doesn't go to git, and you have to keep somewhere while you're working on it:

- nonobvious terminal commands or small scripts I had to write

- fixes for enviromental/configuration problems

- fragments of stacktraces

- fragments of log files

- packages that needed to be installed

- short todo lists I created while doing sth

- links to webpages I found that had a solution to my problem

- profiling results for solutions I compared

- parts of emails I copied to focus on the important fragments with stuff to check/fix

- names of temporary branches created when working on the problem

- xml fragments from some requests I copypasted to kate to prettify it

There's no structure and no plain English descriptions in these files, just bunch of copypasted stuff separated by a few empty lines in a text file.

I have to keep these things somewhere anyway while I work on them, and pasting them in one file that I later save in one directory preserves them for future. I call the file yyyymmdd_some_keywords.txt.

I don't bother to describe the task in plain English, the stuff that's copypasted there is enough for context, I can also check git from same date if something's not clear. The most important thing is - there's no overhead, just open the file when starting a new task, keep it opened while you work on sth and save it when you finish. So I have hundreds of these files after a while, and when I encounter some problem I can quickly grep to check if I seen similar stacktrace before and what it was about.

Before I started doing this I had several instances of déjà vu - I could swear I've seen this problem before but can't remember what it was about and how it was solved.

See what I believe is, we can apply this concept to everything in life. When you watch someone singing, if you know the song lyrics then you try to sing along in your head. So yes, it is about the way our subconscious mind works.
It is something like this quote,
"If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you want to win but think, you won't
it is almost a cinch you won't."
Your mind acts according to you, and it is all about your involvement.
The basic concept has been known to copywriters for a long time.

It can be used to create a sense of ownership by encouraging the reader to 'experience' the product being sold, just like you're more likely to buy a product after playing with it in a store.

The effect is weak but it certainly does exist.
Threwout the whole fight with German the Soviet Union had enough troupes in the East to fight Japan.

Japan had some great divisions and a great navy, but going up against the Soviet Union in 1941 would not seen them defeated.

So this "if Japan jad attacked the Soviet would change everything" meme is mostly wrong but every couple of years it comes back because somebody that doesnt know the history well digs it up.

The reason Japan did atrack was because they knew they had no chance.
Yes, the title is wrong.

Guns, Germs and Steel is... not a particularly scientific work. Read some of the refutations linked https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/historians_views... here. For example:

> in a world where conquistadors bested Aztecs with with guns and Spanish friars set up missions in communities devastated by plague, Diamond’s arguments would matter. But this is a world Tlaxcalans bested Aztecs, and Spanish friars set up many failed missions before gaining a foothold and witnessing entirely disrupted populations fall to disease afterwards.

> Mass resettlement into compact and unsanitary reduccion towns, disruption and destruction of traditional foodways, abusive forced labor in mines and hacienda plantations, and other factors all enabled diseases to assault an already weakened populace. [Germ] Resistance had little to do with.

> On a similar note, the most deadly diseases did not originate from domesticated mammals

This last one is repeated in another post:

> when I dived into the genetic and historic data, only two pathogens (maybe influenza and most likely measles) on his hand-picked All Star team could possibly have jumped to humans through domestication. The majority were already a part of the human disease load before the origin of agriculture, domestication, and sedentary population centers. Diamond ignored the evidence that didn't support his theory to explain conquest via disease spread to immunologically naive Native Americas.

You are right in that I was little explicit. Let us talk about a private persons need and let us stay at the comparison with CDs as they were available in the 90ies. In another reply I derived today's needed disk size as 1-10TB. Let us also say that the access time should suffice to be able to watch a 4k resolved movie. You say archiving suggests durability and CDs may not have the same durability as tape storages. However I would say that a cheap price would compensate a possible lack of durability, because one could easily duplicate or restore important data.

I tried (in order): Evernote, OneNote, Simplenote

Although not ideal, I ended up with OneNote. Also for temporary notes, I use Trello (easily accessible from my mobile), but the notes don't live there for more than a week.

I like how many people advice to build your own system with git and markdown. Ideally, I want such a system to work quickly on non-cutting edge mobile and sync on the fly, so maybe that's an idea for a side project.
You're from the UK so it must have hit close to home for you when he called a British ex-pat a pedo.

Canada is a terrible example, they have compelled speech in their laws. Referring to somebody by the wrong pronoun is a criminal offence in Canada. The right to free speech is intrinsically the right to be offensive, for the very simple reason that any statement at all could be taken as offensive by somebody. As soon as you criminalise being offensive, any speech becomes fair game for government censorship. It is the very definition of a slippery slope.
In a whole lot of countries this information is not readily publicly available in the first place, and privately publishing it means someone has violated the terms under which they were given access.

E.g. in the UK, to even be able to do a check to see if someone is barred from certain types of work, you are required to abide by a long list of terms which goes much further than merely not republishing the data. To request a less comprehensive check requires you to have a compelling need (a specific set of roles). The basic checks can only requested by the person they're about.

Violating the terms comes at the risk of no longer being able to do records check (among other consequences), which may force you to close down your business in the worst case.

Nothing prevents you from making a truthful record of history if you have the data, but lots of things act to prevent most attempts to publish them.

Since when? How would that even work? The president orders the NSA to generate a list of disagreeable film makers and journalists and passes it to the TSA and customs? Do you have any evidence for that claim at all?

> It wouldn’t be wise to talk about bombs near an airport, or tweet about killing the president when he’s visiting your city.

Those are not free speech issues. It is not illegal to talk about bombs at an airport or to threaten the president. Just because you shouldn't does mean you're not free - freedom from consequences isn't the same as freedom of action. Restricted speech is exceedingly rare and, to my knowledge, only applies to public safety (falsely yelling fire in a theatre) and inciting violence (rallying everyone to get weapons and go shoot cops)
> Is there no way to do that?

There is an app for that (https://gfx.io/), but it doesn't switch automatically when battery is in use so you have to enable it manually (and you have to close any apps that are using the discrete chip first).

Mostly though I just use that app to know when the discrete chip is enabled, and then quit whatever program enabled it when I've finished with it.
That's a matter of perception.

The way I see it, every child who is not either the youngest or the oldest is the/a middle child.

With 3, that's #2. With 4, that's #2 and #3. With 5, that's #2 and #3 and #4.

Though usually the context is that parents have 3 children because that's the most common version of having more than 2 children.

When I look at people who I know and their families, I can report that the middle child always appear to be self-centered, egocentric. As if they lacked love in their youth they're continuously trying to make up for the rest of their life. Oh, and they have twisted ways of justifying that behaviour.
This is relevant because Easter Island is often used as an example of how human activity can totally destroy the environment.

I'm no expert so I probably have details wrong, but basically for decades the scientific consensus was that for some mysterious "penis size contest" type of reason, competing tribes of the Rapa Nui kept building more and more moais, and they needed wood to move them because the moais were heavy. So they had to roll them on tree trunks to their preferred location. They cut down all the trees on the island to move the moais, and when the trees were gone the ecology went to shit (no roots to hold the sand together, etc, lots of trouble).

If the moais weren't moved using enormous amounts of trees, then:

* It's not a given anymore that human activity ruined the ecology.
* This is a bad analogy for how humans are currently ruining the planet.

In a weird way I find this a motivating result for humanity. If the Easter Island thing wasn't human-caused, then maybe there's hope left for planet Earth.
First of all, you don't have to stay in the software domain if you don't want to. However, your concerns do not seems to be very specific to the software domain:

* Everyone can be a "software developer".
Everyone can also be a [whatever]. Why would you want to have a whole profession for yourself? If you don't have to prove yourself during the interview, you'll have to do it on the job. This is not going to be different somewhere else. In general, is better for you if your colleagues have to meet a minimum competency standard.

* You have to know _a lot_.
There is a lot and there is a lot that changes. There is also a lot that stays the same and a lot that you can transfer from an area to another. Once you are a good at design, architecture, Test Driven Development, Pair-Programming etc. you are not going to forget everything just because you have to use a new programming language.

After all it's "just" software.
How you solves the problem and write your code internally is going to influence how good it works (bugs, performance) and how fast you can change and improve it. People will care about that. Usually, you are going to work in a team and your colleagues will also care about your solutions.
I like it. Of course I created my own note/task-taking app years ago, which I can't even find anymore. It was in Perl. The purpose was to have a user-friendly command-line interface. If I was going to grep for something, I wanted to display the results in a nice way. To list notes or tasks done, priorities, etc I wanted to sort and display in a nice way. And eventually I added a merge function if I forgot I had more than one editor open at a time. I think I abandoned it for the same reason I abandon every note-taking app I try: it's just not easy enough to use everywhere.

The note-taking app I use most often now is e-mail drafts. I write an e-mail to no one and save it as a draft. It's synced everywhere, sorted by date, has a subject (which can be edited to include tags such as "(!) ", "(plan)", "(done)"), can contain any text format (even attachments), and it works on every e-mail client and server. Maybe I should write an interface to it...
I would also have guessed that many approaches for video/image compression like assuming lots of nice smooth gradients without hard edges, and so flat shaded but detailed drawn things might fare badly.
I've settled on a couple of helper functions in bash to accomplish a similar thing (daily journaling):

DATE=$(date -I -d" ${DATE} days");
elif [[ "${DATE}" =~ ^- ]]; then
DATE=$(date -I -d" ${DATE} days");
elif [[ "${DATE}" == "tomorrow" ]]; then
DATE=$(date -I -d" +1 days");
elif [[ "${DATE}" == "yesterday" ]]; then
DATE=$(date -I -d" -1 days");
fi
echo "${DATE}";
}

#######################################

local DATE=$(getDate "$1");

One thing I have noticed is when watching helmet-cam footage of my own rides off-road here in Borneo I get tensed up, hyper-vigilant about the terrain, angle of the bike, gear and revs etc.

The basic problem is that generally more capacity invites more traffic. This isn't solved with autonomous vehicles. As well I expect more empty traffic.

Example: I currently drive to work 20km. As my wife needs occasionally as well, we have two. With an autonomous car we could forgo one and I send it back after I arrive at work. In the evening it'll pick me up again.

Reading the essay, my heart goes out to the author: he missed all those wonderful years in the ‘80’s and the early ‘90’s cracking protections, swapping, coding intros, watching demos and competing on the Commodore64, Commodore Amiga and the ATARI ST. He missed out on all the wonderful memories and all the action. I’m saddened by it. He started out on an obscure platform and then switched immediately to a drab, boring, soulless PC bucket, never to experience the joy of the Scene.

For me writing software in BASIC under MS-DOS and later on Windows®️ was an afterthought, since I had already been proficient in MC68000 and MOS 6502 intro coding on Amiga and Commodore64. It was easy to do since I stumbled upon the complete, official reference manual on BASIC 3.0 from Microsoft and I already knew BASIC from learning it on the Commodore PLUS/4. The only piece of software I wrote was an ASCII survey points file to DXF converter which I then ported to VisualBASIC 2.0, and that because I also had the full AutoCAD book set which included full DXF format specification. It cut down our work from several hours to a few seconds, but BASIC on the PC had always been an afterthought for me, something I knew but never used much, or something to whip up a quick utility in and run it from a batch file wrapper.
