> The culture of obedience and resignation seems diametrically opposed to some notions of the French culture.

My parents lived in France for a while and still revere parts of French culture, so I'm familiar with it. Honestly I can't imagine having to reconcile that with Japanese culture. I'm often surprised, though, because French people in general seem to do well in Japan -- especially compared to Americans or British people. Anyway, I feel for your situation. It can't be easy. I hope you find a path that works out for you!

That’s the path toward suffering. What if I choose to have zero personal attachments, but still celebrate human life? Complete strangers become immediate friends, family even. I have no need for such selfish bonds that will lead me to suffering.
Alternatively, instead of starving countries to death[0], maybe Western countries should stop sending their trash to third world countries[1][2].

Perhaps it's not the fault of those poorer countries, but instead the fault of the Enlightened West (those that care about carbon emissions, democratic governance and human rights) illegally dumping their garbage onto other countries[3]?

There's something funny about Western governments illegally dumping thousands of tonnes of trash on the shores of poor countries[4] and then people having the audacity to support sanctions - literally punishing the civilians there by starving them through siege - for not having the ability to properly manage the waste.

My parents took me to sports events and I despised it. When I was able to persuade them to leave me home to play on the computer I was much happier. As an adult, I don't attend sports events either.

I have nothing against people who enjoy watching sports, but it seems strange to me to consider sports viewing as inherently virtuous. You could be doing anything with a computer and a network connection. Even watching sports.

Thus a problem.

This is the whole thing. Don't assume that. When my kids are at home they're inventing elaborate games to play with eachother. When we're in public somewhere where they don't want to be, they're doing whatever gets us through peacefully.
no. this is another violation. Its called the "minimum functionality rule" https://play.google.com/about/spam-min-functionality/min-fun...
Don't know why your being downvoted but there is a lot of overlap between neo-nazis and conspiracy theorists, particularly ones of the "elders of zion" persuasion. There are whole flat-earth sub conspiracies about the nazis getting up to no good in Antarctica. The actual original nazis had all sorts of crazy beliefs in the occult, other psuedo sciences and various conspiracies about WW1 so it's hardly surprising.

Seems like obvious selection bias. People who sunburn easily (and are thus more susceptible to melanoma) are less likely to take jobs that require working all day in direct sun.
That’s similar for adults. If you look at the number of suicide attempts the difference diminishes however. A possible reason for this is guys tend to use methods of suicide that have low rates of failure (eg guns) while women tend to use methods that leave open a window where you can be saved (eg pills). Why that is I don’t know but I suppose women on average have a more social nature and don’t want to leave behind a huge physical mess for others to clean up, but that’s pure speculation on my side

What, you don’t recall the rash of school earthquakings children did after those drills became commonplace? All the nuclear mail bombings?

Oh that’s right, people can’t cause earthquakes and nuclear bombs are a bit tricky to make. Whereas there are millions of guns circulating right now and even toddlers manage to off themselves with them at a nonzero rate.

This goes for Google, Facebook, and Twitter. They're all just chasing ad money.
Even if business schools start lecturing their students about details of software development, and even if these details actually sink in, there will still be many other kinds of work their students don't learn anything about. The real problem, I think, is graduates of these schools who believe they can manage people in a generic way without understanding the details of the work.
Perhaps the model 3 is cannibalizing s and x sales instead? It is much more modern and nearly identical in speed and has ample storage and comfort. The s is better if you need more space and longer range, x if storage is your need. I imagine s and x are a hard sell with the steering wheel UX being much more complex and confusing plus the similarities compared with the model 3 for a much higher price tag.

> "Software Is about Developing Knowledge More than Writing Code"

The company I work for uses Scrum. They consider the User Stories + the code to be everything you need. I struggle with this, but my manager says they don't want to get tied up doing documentation "because it goes out of date". Beside, they are being Agile which "prefers working code over comprehensive documentation".

I am wondering what other companies do to capture this "distilled knowledge". The backend services I rely on are undocumented beside some paltry swagger that leaves much to be desired. The front end has no product-level "spec", if you want to rebuild the thing from scratch. There isn't even a data dictionary, so everyone calls the same thing by different terms (in code, and conversation).

There are just user stories (thousands) and code.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

I should be clearer. My point in that sentence was that what I observe kids doing with iPads is not drawing or writing or coding or making music or reading books or ..., which might be meaningfully comparable to drawing with crayons. Almost everything I see is games and videos, and I am not an expert or super careful observer but it seems like the tendency is toward games and videos that require little thinking and are designed to be maximally addictive.

I don’t mean that every kid who is sitting on the subway with an iPad also spends every moment at home doing the same.

But some of them unfortunately do spend lots of time at home glued to screens. I have multiple friends whose older kids have serious problems with TV, video game, social media, etc. habits, which start crowding out many other activities, with the parents not really knowing what to do about it because they don’t want to have a fight every day.

And some young kids who might not be on their video / game machine at home are doing it a lot in contexts where kids would have in the past either been engaged with the world or entertaining themselves. There is a vast difference between a 3-year-old riding around in a stroller looking at a smartphone vs. a 3-year-old walking around on their own feet looking at the world and talking to the adults walking with them.

These devices seem fine to break out occasionally when the parent desperately needs a break from demands on their attention. But there are kids using these devices for extended periods every day.

P.S. The same goes for adults: people should trade their smartphones for a book or a conversation with the person next to them or just some daydreaming from time to time.

You should consider making this it's own article.

This is not what I have experienced, at least not in real world software with mediocre documentation. Usually the software encodes only the "how", but the important parts are "why" and what aspects of the original problem led to that design.
Good teams learn how to transfer and adapt in the next project. Starting with the software only, lots of that can only be reverse engineered.
It's not an exaggeration. Try reading through the article this person recommended for another interesting perspective on mothers and girls.
Try writing strings with backslashes, or adding a new line to your array and accidentally leaving a trailing comma (or accidentally forgetting it for the previous row).

All those things don't really matter, the only thing that matters is that you cannot sideload apps in iOS. As long as you can sideload apps in android, it will always have a better reputation than somewhere you cannot.

But even those things you mention, they are all part of a scale, even if android becomes more closed-source it's still miles more open-source than iOS, even if it delays new app submissions it's still doesn't require a mac to develop for, has a choice of IDEs and a dozen other development friendly features that we often take for granted outside iOS development.

And it is ludicrous to suggest that android has the same hardware choice as iPhones just because apple now has mid-range level priced phones. Hardware choice means that some models have replaceable battery, physical keyboard, bendable screens, childproof, waterproof and many more options.

Nissan Leaf has been on the market with a low price much longer. Sales have slumped since the Model 3 scaled up, news about their battery overheating, and their refusal to produce a vehicle with larger range. It is not a Tesla killer, but was for many a stop-gap solution while waiting for the 3, and Tesla will soon eclipse them in sales. That gap is unlikely to narrow

The Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) is here: https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/convention-...

Read Article 14: https://www.un.org/development/desa/disabilities/convention-...

Art14 says "Are not deprived of their liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily, and that any deprivation of liberty is in conformity with the law, and that the existence of a disability shall in no case justify a deprivation of liberty."

The committee for the CRPD have said this means that involuntary treatment for people with mental illness is not allowed, and any laws that contain provision for involuntary treatment must be repealed. In England those would be the Mental Health Act and the Mental Capacity Act.

The committee have also said that work arounds - detaining people not because they are mentally ill but because they pose a risk of danger to themselves or others - are also forbidden.

Here's the thoughts of the committee: https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/CRPD/GC/GuidelinesA...

I think that software with this license is not consider "free software".
Knowledge is captured in people, not code. The code is byproduct of the people, the people who are the asset.

That's disappointing. I feel like being able to swim and handle ocean surf is a "birthright" of Aussie kids. I remember being taken out in fairly big crashing surf as young as 5 and 6 years old by my parents so I could learn how to handle it (dive under breaking waves, judge currents, etc).

I would guess the trend is not so bad in Queensland. One thing that is very impressive here is the number of pools in schools, including public schools, and the very, very active swim programs that go with them. Brisbane probably has one of the best swimming cultures in the world (backed up by the number of swimmming champions that have come from here).

> In 1997, China regained sovereignty over Hong Kong. It remains a SAR until 2047.

Why do you think China has any intention of keeping their end of that contract? (And I'm not being snarky either.)

Contracts in general are done between parties of approximately equal power, or in lieue of that, in an environment where a third party has sufficient power over all signatories. The only sane position is to take the most cynical one: assume that anyone and everyone will attempt to break the rules of the contract at every opportunity, if it benefits them.

Everyone is immoral. And the only ones who play fair are those who don't know how to cheat well enough.

I wouldn't generalize it like the parent, but it's dfinitely true for ma and many of my friends. Our mothers were very involved and concerned, our fathers - less so.

I've recently started using https://jsonnet.org/ to generate more complex config.

It's easier to write than JSON (no need to quote keys, allows trailing commas), has reusability through functions and objects, and can output JSON which is much easier to parse than YAML.

Downside: you need another build step for the config.

So I hope you don't go around pretending that the $20 you're paying per month isn't for that phone ;-)
I developed Yet Another JSON Templating Language, whose main virtue was that it was extremely simple to use and implement, and it could be easily implemented in JavaScript or any other languages supporting JSON.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, but as I added more and more features and syntax to cover specific requirements and uncommon edge cases, I realized I was on an inevitable death-march towards my cute little program becoming sufficiently complicated to trigger Greenspun's tenth rule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule

There is no need for Yet Another JSON Templating Language, because JavaScript is the ultimate JSON templating language. Why, it even supports comments and trailing commas!

Just use the real thing to generate JSON, instead of trying to build yet another ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of JavaScript.
