Same, to some extent. It helped that I have a lot of queer friends and did when I was a teenager too. Some things I don't like about my expression but can't (easily) change, I've learnt to accept. Qualities which I once thought of as feminine, such as emotional expressiveness, I now see as gender-neutral and they fit a lot more comfortably into my masculinity... but I have also cultivated a lot of traits that are seen as traditionally masculine as I've grown into my 20s.

I did "man up", just in a very positive way aided by having a lot of female and queer friends, rather than the regressive 4chan way I was told to when I was a teenager. Your comment read not as encouraging that, but as, "you might as well accept your fate now and start wearing a dress."
I’m disappointed to not see our Dropbox Paper in that writeup, although it’s a good article! Wish they wouldn’t call it “word processor wars” though since that of course misses the point - it has too many associations to the printed page whereas I think everyone incl the author and the people quoted knows it’s about a more collaborative content creation experience.
It's funny how everyone pointing this out is getting instantly downvoted because they've been tricked by the website (which has zero mention of this) into thinking this is about data harvesting.
If you're lucky enough to be able to walk or cycle, great - I love living in places like that, and currently don't own a car.

But I grew up in a small, isolated village (in Europe, as the other comment notes). When your bus ride to school (on public transport, not a school bus) takes 40mins+, walking or cycling just isn't practical. So please, rural communities have it hard enough already without presumption or condescension. A bit of empathy goes a long way, although I guess it's easier to just assume everyone lives a certain way.

I don't think labeling it as "hatred" helps in any way. It's just an honest assessment of several of their business strategies, dark patterns and grey ways of doing things that many people find unacceptable. It has nothing to do with alt-right, the Jews and whatever else you may mean.

CSS layout capabilites is a superset of what is possible with presentational HTML, so deprecating presentational HTML is not really the issue. Many of the crazy float hacks was to achieve layouts like expanding sidebars - the so-called "holy grail layout". But this could be cleanly and easily achieved with display:table. So why didn't people use display:table? Because Internet Explorer did not support it. Microsoft disbanded the IE team and did not develop the browser for many years, but the browser still had a big enough market share that developers had to support it.
I'll try again. And that's it.

You are concerned that this piece is wrong/misleading.

Ok. Great. Another person wrong on the internet.

Now, from a meta level, can you accept that the public discussion about data harvesting, like everything else is going to be politicized? And would you rather understand and engage people of all political persuasions by following their arguments, or are you happy just being in teams?

I like understanding both sides, seeing where they are going. That way I can have reasonable conversations with them.

Innocuous has nothing to do with anything. In fact, I'd argue that it's not innocuous. It's important. That's why we need to understand it.

You realize, of course, that both sides look equally nutty to the other, right? I'm watching it rain and friends of both political parties spin up the most fantastical explanations for why it's raining. I find that fascinating. I also need to talk to them about coming the hell in out of the rain, so I choose to understand first, then be understood.

Nobody's trying to soft-pedal anything. There's no whitewashing here. The perception is the reality. That's the way humans work. The causal, pseudo-scientific part of things? Different conversation entirely. Stop mixing them up.
>How did they control for couples that remove themselves from the sample set because they broke up due to bickering

Do they need to? Those are not couples anymore.

Besides, isn't it easy to track couples for several years, and see which humor each other, which bicker, and which break?
Only if non-survivors (broken up relationships) matter.

If the idea is "what happens while still in the context of a couple" then it doesn't. In fact that's already implicit in that the couple must "age".

The real question with free will is: free of what?

Free of physics? Obviously not, but that conclusion is pretty vacuous because almost by definition anything that can affect our actions is a potential object of study for physics once you break it down sufficiently.

For actual applications of the notion of free will in moral reasoning, this line of argument is also pretty irrelevant. What matters more is whether our will is free from influence by other moral actors and society at large. And obviously it's not totally free of such influence, but we can enjoy a pretty significant degree of freedom there.

> It's tough because innovations in tools generally require some degree of schema or file format customization.

It's not tough. All it needs is to allow me to download the data in whatever format you actually use to store it, or some serialization of it. Myself, or other interested parties, can reverse-engineer it if they're too lazy (or too much into abusive business models) to provide documentation of the format. It's simple as that. The lock-in isn't in the format, it's in the inability to get the full document (and possibly reimport it later) in any format at all.

Taming the Mob Part 5: Mob Programming with the Pomodoro Technique
No it does not work like that.

To be able to publish on iOS, there Adobe AIR compile to native binary.

On Android, Windows, and macOS (also Linux) it does not to do that (eg. it is fast enough), so instead you have the choice to publish an app that need the AIR runtime, OR to publish a captive runtime (it bundle inside the app).

In general, most dev use captive runtime and so you don't need the AIR runtime installed first.

Now, keeping a runtime bundled vs compiling to native have numerous advantages, for ex you can make part of your app dynamically updatable without re-installing the whole app.

Technically Adobe have the tech in the AIR SDK to compile to any native target, they just use it for iOS.
This self gratification is a bit distasteful.
A million times this. Fortunately my only adult experiences overnight in a hospital were for the births of my children, but I was amazed in exactly the same way as the author here at how the place seemed designed to not let you sleep for more than 90 consecutive minutes. Even for non-medical stuff, there was laundry, meal prep, delivery, and cleanup, and cleaning, and then add regular checkins and tests and such to that, and it was just constant. (And of course with a newborn it's not like you're getting uninterrupted sleep at night even when they do leave you alone, so you're trying to catch up in the daytime, which is even more impossible.)
Did you check to see if the cardiac monitor was set up to prevent you sleeping?
I've never seen a number that high in my field, maybe 500 or 600 for the big shots, and even that seems wildly unreasonable to me. Feynman had about 85 peer-reviewed papers over his lifetime, which is less than two per year during his career, which is a very reasonable number.

Authorship and citations are basically academic currency, and as such have undergone inflation just like real currency. Professors get their name on a paper as a form of payment for future or past services to other professors (often related to funding). There's just no incentive for anyone to stop this as far as I can't tell, and appealing to ethical conduct in authorship and citations is not enough.

I've been following and using Flutter since release 0.2. I think Flutter is an amazing project. It makes writing concise and beautiful apps very easy. I've come to love Dart and the whole Flutter framework. I really think it is the best framework to write Android applications. It also works great for iOS were you can either choose to use Material or Cupertino components. It is a huge improvement over the old Android SDK; which is quite outdated in my opinion. It's too hard to create a beautiful app with the current Android SDK. To many hurdless. Flutter feels like what developing an Android app should be like today.
Another thing about Flutter is that it's also ready to work with Google's (upcoming; maybe) Fuchsia OS.
One loose end is still the plugins for native features on either iOS and Android. There are many community driven plugins which aren't really maintained. Fortunately there is also a large set of plugins maintained by the Flutter team itself.

I've tried Xamarin, React Native and Cordova (god forbids) and native development on iOS and Android. My preference is Flutter.

I've done one big(ish) project with Flutter and it's called "My Leaf" and it is a third party alternative to the NissanConnect EV app. It's used for controlling the Nissan Leaf and Nissan e-NV200 (both EV's). It's open source and available on Android and iOS;

I've seen some of the comments in this post talk about developing plugins for Flutter. I actually think it is easy and does not require much boilerplate contrary to what people say. My guess is that they really haven't tried writing a plugin but only peeked at the documentation.

Because it tries to do far too much and fails at the basics.

Keeping track of the margin/indent settings for bulleted lists across a 50+ page document? Shambles.

Trying to guess which header you want and insisting on auto-formatting the wrong one, time and time again? Infuriating.

Weird behaviour where it promotes the penultimate paragraph to a section header if you delete the last paragraph of a section?

Deeply confusing and hidden ‘Styles’ functionality that affects the visual layout of your document in ways that a beginner couldn’t possibly understand?

I wish I’d kept a blog of Word’s infuriating behaviour over the years (except at the time, all I want is for the thing to let me finish the document I’m being forced to work on so that I can stop using it as soon as possible).

And they just keep shovelling shit in to the product. STOP IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

The worst part is that for 95% of the cases, Word is entirely unnecessary. I’ve seen – god help me, I’ve written – 100+ page corporate documents that could just have easily been put together in Wordpad using RTF. But no, it’s got to be in Word. The thing is a fucking curse.
The design principle for types in eno is that the language itself has no notion of types, there are only plain textual representations. Meaning, types are never inferred from a document. Instead, when parsing an eno document the application explicitly requests the type it expects for each field, thereby validating the document during parsing. From the perspective of the libraries for parsing eno, types are defined as simple functions/closures (I call them "loaders"), that basically take the string value from a field and validate/transform and return it as the proper type. Some of these loaders currently ship with the libraries for convenience (int, float, datetime, etc. - this is not a hard specification though, just a sensible predefined toolbox), but there can be any number of types, whichever types an application needs in addition can be defined and used on the fly.

This is the main point that differentiates eno from almost all TOML/YAML/JSON like formats, and the implication of this is that eno is extremly simple and very accessible for non-technical users (so far all casestudies have verified this to be true) and a highly reliable data source for developers, but it also comes at the cost of losing generic de/serializability, so it depends on the usecase whether eno should be chosen over other formats. :)

There are also some other things that are unique to eno (e.g. all parser and validation error messages are fully localized and in user-friendly humanized language) or painfully missing in some other formats (e.g. having any number of "multiline string" fields that don't hang indented against an invisible left margin somewhere in the document), feel free to explore further on the website if you're curious!

Thanks for your interest and the feedback on the ABNF (much appreciated!), hope I could clarify things a bit. :)
Imho, Sublime is pretty slick after a few custom shortcuts and tweaks. I really do love that little editor.

I think that a lot of Google and Facebook’s creepyness would go away if they’d just voluntarily respect the Do Not Track header.

There’s no techical reason why don’t, just business ethics.

That header is someone explicitly telling Google “I don’t want you to do this” _before_ collection happens and Google’s response is “we don’t give a shit what you want” and doing it anyway.

The current model where you have to register with Google or Facebook and then hunt down all the options to clear data just doesn’t cut it because they’re still using that data. They just clearing it after use or hiding that collection or use from you.

Facebook and Google could be looking at BATs as a way forward for targeted advertising without user tracking but they’re not in the “not creepy” business.
I hope this means Paint.NET can now be ported to Linux. Pinta just doesn't cut it as a substitute.

IIRC, while Paint.NET was under the MIT license at that time, porting to Mono was not possible because of the lack of WinForms. Not sure where I read that, maybe here: http://www.osnews.com/story/22843/Introducing_Pinta_a_Gtk_Cl...
Similar experience here except the meal people were 9x a day, not 3. They would come in to take an order (as I recall there were generally two options) 30-60 minutes before the meal was delivered, and then again some time afterward to clean it up. Which I feel like I shouldn't complain about, since they're providing you with food (although only for the patient, not the poor, sleep deprived dad...) But man was it annoying when you were just trying to get a few minutes of sleep!
Eager Comprehensions (2003)
Absolutely no human has ever operated like this.

We experience choice and decision as subjective processes controlled by a subjective experience of self. But all of those experiences are subjective, and delusional to varying degrees.

I recently had a fascinating experience with a lawyer while buying a house. The vendors and the agent did various things annoy my lawyer, and she set up a situation where the agent was - apparently as a free choice - compelled to pay the lawyer a sum of money to close the sale.

I'm sure the agent made what she considers a free choice, albeit not a comfortable one. But in fact the lawyer was always in control of the situation, and knew exactly where to push, and how hard, to get the result she wanted.

If you have good psychological insight, humans can be ridiculously predictable and easy to manipulate. And said humans will still insist their decisions are made with full awareness and agency - even when they aren't.

So in what sense is will free at all? You really don't need to resort to quantum physics to understand there are serious problems with the concept. Marketing, politics, and law provide plenty of evidence that free will is a convenient fiction, not a psychological ground truth.
>> Looking at something and saying "I don't think I would do that because it would be very embarrassing" is a thing adults can do.

And its exactly a moment when one should stop for a second and ask him/herself a question "why would I feel so"?

Wearing glasses, reading books, dyeing hair with some tint, preferring pieces of clothing of some fashion or other, riding a personal vehicle that is supposedly beneficial for ecology (at least at the level of common knowledge) AND evidently improving quality of urban life - all of that shouldn't be embarrassing, or "completely" "socially inept"[1]. Wearing dirty clothes when you have the means not to or not looking after your hygiene should (and I can't really recall anything else at a moment's notice).

The china-ip stuff is curious, and the conclusions (if this does conclude) are likely to be impactful for a generation.

Why would a country want to make laws that creates a type of property which they don't have as much of?

The US & Europe had been framing it as a necessary system, which China needs as much as they do. At some point, the frame changed to more of a moralistic one. This has been convincing (in the west) largely because China had no declared position. They unenthusiastically nod along but avoid enforcement.

Now, we have a more trumpish dealmaking frame. This implies that ip laws are not good for China, and that it'll take carrots or sticks to get agreement.

Me... I don't think up as it is is anywhere near optimal, from either a moral or economic dynamism perspective. Curious to see how this all works out.
I'm sorry to be rude, but I honestly believe that the only thing that will save Mozilla is for people like you to take your terrible ideas elsewhere.

You must see that your ideas are not working. Have you been able to attract new users, or even prevent existing users from leaving? No? So then how can you be so convinced that you are right?

Firefox is software, not an experience. Winning over people that don't care is not an accomplishment, even if you could do it. Trying to be better than Google at nannying your lower functioning users from hurting themselves is futile, and punishes everyone else.

You're feverishly stripping away everything that made Firefox superior. Driving away developers who have made unique extensions that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

And for what? What is your end game? Have you seen the Chrome store? It's awful! The majority of extensions are very low quality and often misleading. And they are unresponsive and have to employ strange hacks to do things that Firefox extensions did very simply (like taking a screenshot, or interacting with other extensions).

And what is your ideal outcome? To have Firefox be considered a good browser by Google's standards? How about what the users standards?

That applies if you think of a soul as ‘just another mind’, but my understanding is that souls are usually seen as different. What I find problematic with them is that they can be defined to be whatever you need to get out of a logical fix eg “souls use state but are non-deterministic”.

Ultimately you’re asking what defines a soul, which is unknown as far as I can tell.

It doesn't seem to be for the people that are running MOOC platforms, either.

> MOOCs is about demolishing the ivory tower of education privilege and making high-quality education accessible to all, for free.

It may be defensible to say that MOOCs are about lowering economic barriers to accessing education, but free isn't the goal (most platforms were purely free initially to establish mindshare, but that's a promotional expense not a sustainable business model.) Those that have retained a free option seem to have it largely as a tool for promoting paid certificate/credentialing programs.
