The 'purpose' of academia is pretty awesome: you get to figure out how the brain works--and how to fix it when it doesn't work well--why the sun shines, etc...

Some people find a lot more meaning in that than, say, using cutting-edge ML algorithms to optimally place Facebook ads for awful pizza.
For one it runs on about every mac you can buy, you dint really need a big expensive computer to use it. Unlike photoshop or illustrator. This together with a simple UI, features especially for interface design (so you dont have to fight to get the program out of print color mode)
This OP lost me at drawing the characature of both politicians. However one’s predominant biography will be racism, rank corruption and criminality and the other, hopefully will move us toward an America where more people pay their fair share and we all don’t have to go bankrupt from medical bills.

The legacy, industrial-era institutions are what support abundant and cheap access to information.

If belief in our traditional institutions crumbles due to cheap information, information asymmetry once again will rise, returning us to the prior era.
I understand what you're trying to say, but the point is Trump just isn't as bad as he's made out to be by some segments of the population. And everything he does tends to be inflated and exaggerated FAR past any reasonable point.

Not to mention the fact that he has a hostile media and the entire cultural segment (from sports athletes to celebrities) to contend with, a hostile Congress (certainly the House, and even the Senate), a judiciary that blocks him at every turn (and frequently overstepping their bounds), and an existing regulatory, and military hierarchy that is tepid (at best) towards him and has him in check. There's also a pending independent investigation that is looking at the more egregious accusations (for which we have no evidence at this point).

We had 2 years of Trump, and so far, his tenure has been a nothing burger compared to the Bush years, and the beginning of the Obama years when the entire economy was at risk of collapse. His tweets do suck, but everyone just ignores them now. He shit-posts on Twitter - once you get past that, there's nothing there.

I would be way more apprehensive with Bernie Sanders as president or a Democratic party where AOC-types are in charge. That kind of leaderships would have a far greater effect on day to day life.
But they are always obviously evil corporations. They never have a hip logo with cute aesthetics, and a sneaker clad hoodie wearing slacker founder. The movie Next Gen on Netflix is a good example of this though. The evil corp in that movie is basically Apple.
The Untold History of Arduino (2016)
I'm not sure if that qualification adds a useful distinction. The usual definition I hear is "a person who committed a crime". Suppose I were to come home and find that my door has been broken down and my home ransacked, I would be justified in saying that "a criminal did this". There was an act of crime, and therefore it was done by a criminal. That it is ambiguous who the criminal was and whether there is sufficient evidence to prove that they did it, it was still done by a criminal.

Furthermore, even if I accept that criminality requires a guilty verdict to be a valid descriptor, it is something that applies retroactively. Once the conviction is given, it is retroactively correct to have called them a criminal between the time that the crime was committed and the time that the conviction was given. In this view, describing somebody as "criminal" prior to a verdict is an expression of belief as to what the verdict should or will be.

In either case, it is not incorrect to refer to the actions of the Trump campaign as criminal, to use one specific example. We know (1) that it is illegal to receive foreign aid in a campaign, (2) that the Trump campaign openly requested foreign aid (campaign speech, 2016-07-26), and (3) that the Trump campaign were in active negotiation for foreign aid (self-released emails from Trump Jr, dated 2016-06-03). From these, I conclude that the Trump campaign has performed criminal acts.
Fixing Unix/Linux/Posix Filenames (2009)
I remember this was one thing that really made an impact on me about Japan when I went there as an exchange student.

"Even their manholes are thoroughly done and look amazing! What is even going on!?"

They can still make me smile every now and again when I visit, and I really admire the "Japanese sense of" (I don't know if it's particular to Japan) putting lots of effort into something seemingly mundane; putting effort into something which yields no practical return on investment. I wish there was more of this artisanship in the everyday city-life around us, to keep remind us how lovely life can really be. It's easy to forget sometimes.
It's nicely written but I don't know how thoughtful it is.

> Big institutions, whose dominance once seemed eternal, are on the brink of collapse.

> The explosion of information has undermined and obsoleted the 20th-century organizational model. Big brands are losing market share. Big universities are going bankrupt. Big political parties are splintering and losing their control over the political narrative.

Isn't the exact opposite happening? The big universities are getting bigger, richer, more exclusive. In practice, Trump is probably less divisive of his party than Obama. Brands are consolidating (particularly in this media landscape that is supposed to be so dizzyingly dynamic and fractured!) . And sure, people identify less with retail or luxury hotel brands. But you know what brands they love? Apple. Netflix. That crazy new starter, "McDonald's". And data is making their strangle grip tighter, not looser.

Information wants to...empower those who have the money to leverage it.

> Anything not based on Apt as a package manager is a nightmare.

In my experience pacman, APK, OpenBSD's ports and packages, and Slackware's pkgtools are all as good as or better than apt in various ways, with the caveat that Slackware doesn't do dependency resolution, which most Slackware users actually see as an advantage.

To put it another way, there is no perfect package manager, there is only the tool that works best for you. The above tools are what I feel to be the superior package management schemes in no particular order; apt has left me hanging way too many times to be comfortable with it on a production machine. For others (like you) the opposite may be true. Regardless, your statement only applies to you and shouldn't be presented as the gospel truth.
Something I have noticed throughout my studies is that some countries seem better equipped to let university students shine and not suffer from high stress, or at least help them decompress.

This might be anecdotal experience, and I am not currently in a PhD programme so I am not sure it would aplly there as well, however this is what I have noticed:

In my country universities are usually an environment quite similar to High School wrt how students usually fit into the greater social circle of the institution, meaning that you usually go in for your lectures and leave as soon as you're done, have only a few ties with other students and there are almost no extra curricular activites to partake in through which you could bond with other people.
During my undergraduate studies I spent a year in a university in the UK and this experience opened my eyes to how detrimental this environment is to students' performance; The university I attended explicitely encouraged students to set up "Student Associations" centered around whatever topic the person setting up particularly cared about, and in my experience I attendend events from many different ones, ranging from my department's one to anime/manga, to gaming, to my native country's culture. This has helped me so much in connecting with other people I would've otherwise never met who shared some of my interests, and in turn I was always able to have someone to speak to about common problems that students face, or to attend social events in order to decompress from a particularly hard day; at the end of the year I gave some of the best exams of my career, I made friends I am still in contact with years after, I was able to land an internship through one of these societies' events, and generally enjoyed life and university MUCH more than I ever did in my country.
After coming back home and moving on with my life I am currently pursuing a Masters in my own country, and after a bit more than a semester I already feel the same feeling of dread I felt during my undergrad experience kick in since there are no avenues or ways to actually enjoy life as a university student.

I firmly believe that if more countries / universities adopted the same stance I experience in that UK university students would generally be way better off, both with respect to their mental health and their track record.

Unfortunately I have never met someone who has shared the same experience as me and hence has the same outlook on the problem, and even when speaking up about these issues with my department or colleagues many seem to not particularly care or understand what that particular system would entail for everyone involved. It is really a shame.

I am wondering if there are any scientific studies that have been done on this particular issue that I could bring up to shift perception around this?

Anyway, just my two cents.

tl;dr: make students more involved in their university's community and provide the means to self-organise around common interests so as to create comraderie and avenues to decompress, everyone will benefit from it.
Is anyone happy coding on such a small screen, even if it is high-res?

I have a 2016 13" MBP, and find the screen too small for coding. It's high-res, but that means everything is super-small unless you increase the scaling, which of course reduces the available screen real estate. The screen is annoyingly reflective too, but that's another problem entirely.

My daily driver is a 15" HP Zbook G3 with a 1080p display, which I also find too small. I'm thinking a 15", high-res display would probably be ideal for portable coding?
I suspect overall readership goes up with such intros.
What’s on opinion on prevalence of scientific dishonesty and fraud? Given how the incentives work, and that the publications are not checked thoroughly (peer revievers don’t redo the experiments to see if the results were not made up), it just seems to me that modern academia heavily incentivises people to produce fake science.

From what I’ve heard, industries which should heavily depend on academic publications (such as ours, or pharma) are exteremely vary of them because, in their experience, the „findings” and ideas presented usually don’t replicate, or that the papers are just intellectually dishonest in various ways to present the author’s method as better that state of the art (salesmanship instead of science).

Not always, sometimes you cannot see the proof because a company just doesn't offer any other options. If there was a modern laptop that ran macOS that was user upgradeable, I would absolutely get it in my next upgrade cycle. Alas, there isn't one.

Also companies aren't always superrational logic machines that have coldly calculated their every more; there's sometimes a lot of collective delusion going on that can leave their consumers in the cold, who then just make do with the best out of a bad lot that's offered. Recall the recent iPhones - suddenly every other phone had a notch even when it served no purpose; or the removal of audio jacks, for example. There was NO consumer preference expressed there, just one company that decided it that way for its own purposes, and others blindly copying it.
I’m overall no fan of GG, but it seems (speaking as an outsider) he had the goods on Bolsonaro before the election, and his husband is now in the literal firing line as a gay, liberal Congressman in a time of rising right-wing violence. I’m not sure Greenwald has been effective or even all that salutary in regards to US politics and policies, but he might just be the journalist Brazil needs now.
Most of the good ones. Manufacturers finally realized it was a stupid detail to fail at.
Kind of a silly argument as Apple has a monopoly on nothing except their own products. From a consumer point of view you can pretty much ignore Apple's existence and not even notice.

You wouldn't call Nintendo a monopolist because they dictate the rules of the Switch, would you?

The irony being that I think most Apple users are happy they've strong-armed their developers into a single payment product instead of everyone rolling their own. Android is a mess in this regard; I wish everything used Google Pay.

One of the main points of the article was that although Herodotus described what he saw know one could turn his words into a mental picture. In other words until we actually found a wreck and could observe how it was built did we come to understand that Herodotus’ description was accurate.

BUT THEY DONT PUT A PICTURE OR DIAGRAM IN THE ARTICLE.

They pulled a “Herodotus” on us and I am pissed.

I'll be honest, as an untrained listener of Classical music, I am having a hard time appreciating Richter's version from the rest except for the Tempo. I think your explanation makes sense that slower tempo allows the user to understand the intricacies of the piece.

How would it sound if other artists also played at a slower tempo? Can they even play at a lower tempo or that's Richter's specialty? Are there any other aspects of Richter's version besides the tempo I should be observing? I am not trying to play a devil's advocate, I am extremely curious as why I can't appreciate it as much as others.
The most fundamental constants in mathematics are zero and one. The transcendentals are called such because they can't be expressed in terms of algebraic operations using these two constants as starting point. Changing the bases of a number system doesn't change this fact.

However, we can have alternative, more powerful formal systems that are able to capture well-known transcendental numbers in a finite amount of notation. The most powerful class of such systems are Turing-complete systems. However, even such systems won't capture all transcendentals, since there exists a subset of transcendentals called uncomputable numbers. Uncomputable numbers outnumber computable ones.

More powerful formalisms also have the downsides that they lose some "nice" properties such as ability to always prove equality of two numbers, as they gain power. Algebraic numbers and especially rational numbers are super nice and well-behaved in comparison.

I didn't like the intro either. The rest of the article is much better.
Exactly.

Professors have no, I repeat, NO accountability. Inside their classroom, they are the petty dictators they are empowered by the university to be. Some do a good and just job at education... But that's not their real goal. Their goal is to get the university more money and more students - teaching is the secondary objective. If it happens, it's good.

I've seen a large handful of people whom should have never been offered a teaching position. When English is obviously a 2nd or 3rd language, and you're teaching a complicated topic, and we can't understand you - you shouldn't be teaching it. I'm not making insults on intelligence, because they were intelligent... But when every student struggles to understand every word (example word: theta , pronounced:fee-ter ) they shouldn't be teaching.

I've also had "professors" who taught light and sound physics, discussing electricity, who didn't know what a capacitor was. And it was in the middle of the partial differential plate field equations for... capacitors. He was also known at putting questions on the test that did not pertain to the class proper. He would also create his own (wrong) answer key, and then refuse to accept corrections. Good scores for the class were around 18-22 out of 100.

I have no clue how one would accomplish this, but the university ALSO needs to be accountable to the students who throw it money.
So the natural sciences aren't universally bad. My PhD advisor in relativity was a terrific guy to work with and I saw him as a friend and mentor. The problem is that the supply of people seeking PhDs, post-docs, and tenure track jobs in the natural sciences so far outstrips the available jobs (often a hundred to one) that there is little natural pressure to suppress bad behavior. In fact, the assholes tend to thrive because it turns out that taking advantage of others can get you ahead.
I'm exact same way, hit the gym for half a decade 6 days a week right before bed. No issue sleeping, but put me in front of a intense video game before bed time and I'm up for hours.
I don't think its the co2 itself that make you dizzy. Co2 is just a trace gas to measure air exchange. There are probably other gases, particles, and fumes that impair your cognition which accumulate with poor ventilation.

I'm a developer and I remember the first time I tried to do some design work. My design friends told me to use Photoshop and I just couldn't figure it out. The learning curve was so steep I gave up on my ambitions to learn UX design. Plus it seemed weird to be using a photo editing tool to design software.

A few years later Sketch came along and it was so easy and intuitive to use that I was able to pick it up immediately. I've been able to get pretty good at UX design now because the barrier to entry on the tools side got so much lower.

I wonder if there's a way to lower the barrier to entry for coding in the same way. I mean, when you think about it, we're still using text editors to build software. Seems odd.

Anyway, Sketch is awesome and the first of this new wave of design tools. I use Figma now. It has most of the benefits of sketch and it supports Mac, Windows and in browser. I fear this funding may have come too late.

It's hard to see celebrities as anything other than an especially visible subset of people clawing their way into the ranks of the wealthy. Hereditary celebrity is possible, but wealthy celebrities mostly don't try to make their children celebrities. The ones who seem (subjectively) like the smartest choose to gift their children the traditional advantages of wealth, education, and connections.
Absolutely false, http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LiouvillesConstant.html for instance contains only the digits 0 and 1 yet is not only irrational but transcendental even.

Also the second part of your comment isn't making sense, it has been shown for Champernowne's constant so how can you say it hasn't been shown for any individually?
Going both by surveys [1] and by informal chats with friends of all ages, the Millenials were the peak AGW / Global Climate Change generation, with the subsequent generation (Gen Z) being both less convinced and less likely to demand expensive, global action. The picture is muddied a bit as Gen Z does does demand good care of environment, for general reasons (unspecific to AGW), thus sharing certain talking and policy points with AGW believers.

Talking with a Gen-Z'r, expect AGW to be sooner taken as a meme, and given ironic support only, rather than taken straight. The general feel is that Millenials went off the rails with certain topics and thus significantly lowered the credibility of the related talking points. It's not helped by the impression that the centralized media (like cable and big online platforms, basically "boomer" media) paint one picture with simplistic, sharp divisions, while the decentralized media (social media, new style online media) paints more complex, and more convincing picture.

I expect the shift away form belief in AGW to continue in subsequent generations.
