>But what is most strikingly original about Wittgenstein’s account in the Tractatus is his drawing out of the implications – which are to a degree disturbing – of this conception. One implication is for values. If I think or claim that the car is in the garage, then, built into that claim is the idea that this may be true or false. But when I think that, say, slavery is morally wrong, I think something that could not be otherwise than true (even if others should disagree

I believe the solution to this lies in collective subjectivism with a fancy twist. Underlying every disagreement about such a claim, we have an implicit agreement. If I say slavery is wrong and you say you disagree, then we actually agree about something; the fact that we disagree.

That agreement underlying the disagreement gives rise to new conversational opportunity to approach a new, more fundamental point of agreement.

In this example, we could ask something like the following to our debate partner: “would you like to be owned by me?” Employing Kant’s categorical imperative (or the golden rule or bowever else this idea has been named) to demonstrate to your opponent indeed no, they would not like to be enslaved.

Following that train of logic, we can begin to piece together agreements from the disagreements that we unavoidably come across when using a tool as blunt as language to describe anything close to resembling reality.

At some point, given the good faith participation of both partners in conversation, we will be able to form more agreements, phoenixes rising from the ashes of our disagreements, that will lead to something more closely resembling a “universal truth”, truism, true objective fact, etc.

After all, true is just the word we have for something that cannot be proven false. In the same way that we just pretend money has value and so it does, true doesn’t mean anything beyond the word itself. That doesn’t necessarily make it less useful, it’s just something we need to keep in mind.

On that note, this author does a fascinating job introducing a hypothesis that an alphabet causes a society to lean to value masculine thought processes more highly. Not sure what I think about the hypothesis yet but it’s been a fascinating listen thus far.

No, there's no such confusion.

> where boundaries can still be established, e.g. via a module isolation mechanism specific to the stack used

Unfortunately this isn't a technical issue and that's the problem.
The absence of a desired feature is not a bug. The author's situation is clearly very frustrating, but Chrome OS is intentionally minimalistic. Just one feature isn't going to result in bloat, but there are thousands of users who want just one feature. If he had bought an iPad Pro instead of a Chromebook, he would have been disappointed to learn that iOS doesn't support mice at all. A version of Chrome OS that supports every possible use-case and customisation is just linux. We already have linux.

The issue tracker discussion seems reasonable to me. The UI team don't want to add and support the code necessary to facilitate the multitude of requests for remapping and shortcuts, so would prefer a suitable API for extensions. The kernel team have serious security concerns about such an API, because it would effectively permit keyloggers on the Chrome OS platform.

On a practical level, I'd advise OP to install Crouton.
Accessibility isn't an edge case. For one thing, it's a legally mandated requirement.

People are saying that OP's blog post is the wrong way to drive change, and they're probably right, but nothing else -- short of going through the courts -- works.
Hello jareds. I'm curious what you use for programming, since you mentioned you don't use your Chromebook for that.

Centre de Données Socio Politiques | Sciences Po Paris | Web developer | Python JavaScript | On location, full time

In the context of the European SSHOC project [1] starting January 1st 2019, CDSP is hiring a web developer for a 31 months contract. The successful candidate will be joining our Software Projects team to work on the design and implementation of a Sample Management System: an application capable of managing an international set of respondent panels to which web-based research surveys are periodically delivered.

Our toolbelt of choice, integrated in a GNU/Linux working environment, consists of Python for the backend (Django foundation, spiced-up with Celery and Tornado) and JavaScript at front (VueJS taking momentum).

The team is coordinated by a project manager affiliated to the CNRS, and presently counts 4 web developers and a system administrator.

Our workflows are built around GitLab with increasing dominance of continuous integration and Docker for deployment. We care very much about maintaining a cheerful and healthy daily atmosphere, where polyvalence, learning and sharing are always encouraged.

If you are interested, shoot us an email: genevieve.michaud@sciencespo.fr

Not really. Shared environment generally doesn't matter for behavioral traits.
In fairness, a single repo does encourage a monolithic architecture (even though one can have multiple binaries inside a single repo), just as a monolithic app does encourage a lack of modularity (even though one can write a single app composed of well-chosen modules).
> Meanwhile GIMP has a reputation of being written by software developers for software developers, and being actively hostile to suggestions from artists...

Actively hostile how?
> In a similar way to saying a subtitled movie isn't acessible. Sure, it meets the needs of the Deaf community - but not people with low/no vision.

Is accessibility generally treated in such a binary sense? If something isn't accessible to everyone, it isn't accessible? (Genuine question. Either answer would be valid. I'd prefer to know how it's used in common parlance.)
Multi currency in UK with regular banks is dead. Some time ago, you were able to have USD, EUR and GBP , now they don't open new ones easily.

Alternatives likes Transferwise or Revolut would be the norm for operating across different currencies.
> Much of this spectrum has been bought-back by wireless carriers from TV license holders. We’ll see this trend continue over the next decade or so until there will be no over-the-air TV left at all. At that point you’ll still be able to watch all the same TV, but it will be over 5G, instead.

Now this is interesting. I wonder if this means the rural and the poor will have to give up on free[0] television.

[0] Ad supported.

Edit: Not trying to imply only the rural and poor enjoy free tv. Cord cutters do too. My concern is that they won't be able to afford the new alternative or it just won't be available.
Addressing the issue in software seems like the obvious choice - especially as it’s a standard ability in other operating systems.

For arguments sake, if this was a physical issue that couldn’t be worked around in software, what would you do? Are there mice out there that themselves can be programmed to achieve the same end result?

>The message being put out is that Google doesn't want unhealthy people using its products.

When I read a criticism this petty I had to double check to see if it was a woman who had written the post.
It happens naturally when an industry moves from being compromised of above-average intelligence and focus to a more mainstream industry. Over time, the workforce just approaches the average IQ of the population, because there is only a limited number of highly intelligent people and the latter already have been moving away into other more future-oriented territories - Blockchain and AI for example.
I disagree that lack of Linux support is sad. Linux has a tiny a market share in desktops. Hence the number of potential users who would be blocked by this is tiny. Hence there is very little loss.

Thanks for the Snap reference! I wasn't aware of it and agree that it appears very appealing.
Strange how things have changed and yet stayed the same. From the universalities of power struggle, to problems like 'printing press belongs to husband' depriving the 'movement'.
Systemd simplified things the Mac way: by taking away control and building in a lot of smarts and vendor-supplied defaults.

So, less simple in terms of number of moving parts, but simpler in terms of how much you have to know to deal with it. As in all things, it's a tradeoff.
While I know you are being sarcastic, I really have heard bushy tailed young “architects” say something similar who just read about Domain Driven Design and then decided they were trying to “educate us”.
> Wang it all in one, and then invent your own tooling to cope with it!

Why don’t you believe that additional tooling is required to manage software whose sources are composed from multiple repositories?
Flash? Scratch was written in Smalltalk.
By that logic Apple has a monopoly in smartphones.
I though Chrome has a setting to swap the primary mouse button?
> whereas the humans use a process that, although flawed, can be improved over time to get better results than chance.

Indeed the research they refer to - that reports frequent misdiagnosis - points out a logical reason for it happening ("Many patients who are misdiagnosed as being in the vegetative state are blind or have severe visual handicap; thus lack of eye blink to threat or absence of visual tracking are not reliable signs for diagnosing the vegetative state"). So there's your space for improvement already.

I was really interested in this until I saw the salary. Is this for a jr role? Its very low.
No, it would not be considered accessible as defined in ISO 9241-171 Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Guidance on software accessibility, and further it may be in conflict with the recently passed European Accessibility Act.
I’ve seen some kids on the internet doing crazy algorithms stuff. But I was like that at that age too - at 16, 17, 18, I was able to do a lot. But I’m much better now that I’ve hit 30. I don’t really do any algorithms anymore, but my code is cleaner, I resolve tickets quickly and with robust, tested solutions, and I can anticipate business needs and problems that relate to my job way better than someone without professional experience.

There’s a lot of people like that - the best blogs are from devs in their late 30s or 40s. The answer is basically that older is almost always better.
Why should a store of value require debt backing? All that it requires is that it can have the same or more purchasing power (via exchange) in the future. Buying a house in a popular growing city without debt would likely fulfill this SoV requirement.
That annoying ugly "button" in the middle of the keyboard is the main thing that makes me rule out lenovo laptops in general before I even look at them.

I find it very hard to understand why anyone would want to add one!
Not have a 1 liner installation script that's a security nightmare? :)

eg, this is the Countly one (specifically run as root):

wget -qO- http://c.ly/install | bash

If someone manages to break into the c.ly redirection service, or the website/CDN/etc serving that, new users would likely be in for a bad time. And the problem could be very subtle, if it's done by someone clueful.

Just for added er.. goodness (/s), the Countly instructions also need people to:

Disable SELinux on Red Hat or CentOS if it's enabled.
Countly may not work on a server where SELinux is enabled.
In order to disable SELinux, run "setenforce 0".

sigh
Two ideas:

a) Get a mouse with internal memory, like the Logitech G700. Program on Windows, then use with the Chromebook. Not sure if there's a "vertical mouse" equivalent.

b) Crouton (or other Linux on CB solution) + xinput

You shouldn't have to do either, but perhaps it's better than nothing.
I think he's saying that now people would go to the breeders directly instead of the pet stores to buy pets, which I assume isn't disallowed by the law.
I don't disagree with that Sweden has problems, but the problems are still on a completely different scale than most other countries.
Seriously? Why the casual misogyny and sexism?
I really think it should if possible. Makes life much easier in my experience.
If you're especially lucky it'll catch fire with the fan running. I've seen that happen to someone once, panic would be an understatement.
Makes sense, but IMHO it's very difficult to get enough money only via donations.
The gun here I wager is metaphorical, the loss of value by 'force' is the point.

If your currency forks, and you are now in the minority, chances are your values will fall, and become harder to make liquid, as the market shrinks.

> Nice to be called an "edge case".

You generalize from your one issue to "Google doesn't want unhealthy people using its products" (despite assertions somewhere else here that some aspects of accessibility are rather good and thereby help "unhealthy people [use the] products").

You're reacting rather offended to attempts to explain why your favorite bug didn't get the attention you think it deserves.

The most reliable way to get ignored is to throw a temper tantrum, so maybe calm down?

(as an aside: I find Chrome OS to be quite usable without mouse buttons when using keyboard short cuts, with the touchpad acting as scroll wheel. Could that be a suitable workaround for you? Also: left button is double-tap on the touch pad, which doesn't care which finger you use)
Except of course, Cancer Research UK don't sell Plasmax and have made the recipe available.
This is particularly strong with the Chrome team and other parts of Google. In order to protect that $2M revenue/employee, they only build things for the generic mainstream or high paying advertisers. See also YouTube's video recommendations.

If you want a computer, get a computer. If you want a cheap Google ad-viewing portal, get a Chromebook.
Sure. But with regards to people throwing around statistics of who is likely to re-offend etc I'm pointing out that when it got started it wasn't only for violent crime and given people got 25 years there ought to be two kinds of prisoners represented in that population. Those in for violent crime and those in for non-violent crime. So it's not so black and white. Only that after a while people figured out it was a terrible idea for non-violent crime which I'm assuming no one disagrees with.

For violent crime I don't have a very informed opinion. I'd need a few hundred hours research to get better resolution models than I currently have in my head. Suffice to say jurisprudence is a rather thorny problem with no nice answer as you only have so many levers you can push/pull to change the economics and it's well established that for a certain segment of the population even the pain of death isn't enough to deter them, so they are better off just off the street.

Penal theory is such a conundrum in that regard. It's like oh, there are people for which nothing works. Well can we just destroy them? The public says no. Right. So... Back in they go with the public? Well, no the public doesn't want that either. Ok, so we'll just hold on to them for a really long time? Yes, but the public is not happy about paying for that. Ok, but hey wouldn't it be better if violent people spent less time with other violent people than more time? It would but where else can we put them? So, we just leave them here in the same cage together for a really long time? I guess so? That seems just like a really, shitty, fucked situation for which there is no good answer. Hmm... seems that way.

At least thats my analysis. It's an interesting topic. More study required.
The Fetishization of “Technical”
Seems like a great incentive to pay off a doctor to diagnose someone so you can lose less money, get the kids, have another bargaining chip in a messy divorce, etc, etc.

Edit: Pointing out flaws/possible exploits in a system is not the same thing as endorsing their use.
Thank god the greatest minds of our time were able to come together to solve this worthwhile societal issue.
Because it's always a choice. You have a choice between implementing a new feature (that could earn you/your company money directly), or making an existing feature more accessible, which might make a very small number of people happy/enable them to use your product, and the profits from such an endeavour are probably smaller.
Deliberately ignoring a simple accessibility feature request is unethical, a serious lapse in compliance to technical standards on accessibility, and possibly in violation of recently passed European legislation on the matter.

Quite funny. Mr. Tim Cook apparently either think investors are stupid or he, and the Apple board, are detached from the reality.

For other people reasons for this is clear. Apple is making slightly improved phones, with the extreme price tag. The pain threshold has been exceeded.

Almost all innovations now are from Asian manufacturers. Notch is not progress, it's a deffect. OLED? It was innovation 8 years ago, with Samsung Galaxy S. A phone as fragile as an egg, with back glass replacement costing $599 (versus $99 for Samsung Galaxy S9+). In my opinion, the only real advantage of iPhones is iOS, without apps slowing down OS, tons of bloatware, and lack of privacy even on the system level. But this not justify

And lastly, batterygate, that weakened trust to the brand, also didn't help here.

This just gives him something to write about next time.
I'm a Rust fan and procedural macros are legitimately a cool feature, but the example seems much more simply solved via inheritance. You could do this without procedural macros by using a default method definition on the WritableTemplate trait, since WritableTemplate inherits from Template and should have the render method in scope.

This could just be a slightly contrived example to show the neat kinds of things you can do with procedural macros, though. If you needed a reference to the original struct definition, for example, procedural macros allow you to do the kinds of transformations at compile time that other languages need runtime reflection for.
The power of the miners is overblown: the mining power follows the price/value of the coin, not the other way around, and the price is determined by the users transacting on it, not the miners (though the miners can of course try to interfere with the users ability to transact, but this generally pushes the price down).

> Whoops, another team made a bunch of commits to their project, and you need to rebase your project before you can commit.

If their commits didn't affect you, then … it merges cleanly, and you don't care. If their commits do affect you, then … now you know. With multiple repositories, you will have no idea that they broke something you rely on.

Even better, with a monorepo, if they break something your existing code relies on, they' have broken the build, and they have to fix it. With multiple repos, another person or team is free to break things you rely on without even knowing it, and you won't know it until you update your dependencies hours, days, weeks or months later, wondering why everything is suddenly different.

If another team's work is tightly-enough interwoven with yours that their daily commits affect you, then you're all on the same team (and/or your architecture needs work).
I've contacted them in public and in private. Over five years. Nothing has helped.
