I have the same dissonance.

For me, I think it's from my underlying interest in being good at something without having to make compromises or handicaps. As a benign example, I rarely/almost never change the keybinds in any of the code editors that i've used because I like the idea of being able to competently use all of them in their default settings to have a consistent experience everywhere. This allows me to use another instance of VSCode/PyCharm/Eclipse/etc. that's not my own and be able to reasonably be productive in that instance. It's a little silly, but it's something that I like.

Tabs runs counter to that underlying interest to a very small degree. They're there to be customized, and there's an expectation that you are supposed to customize their appearance for each view that you use to view them if you want a consistent appearance.

To an extent, I view the debate between the two as something similar to the debate between configuration vs convention. Convention is great when you're working within the 99% of the use cases that it supports, but it becomes difficult for the folks who need to do something not supported by the built in conventions and vice versa. Some people like one, some people like the other as a matter of preference. However, there's a small subset of the population that basically need configuration for one reason or another to operate. Whether it's because you're building a product that needs a feature that the framework doesn't support to stay afloat, or in this case, they need to be able to customize the appearance of code on the screen easily to be able to perform their duties in a reasonable time. I don't know if this comparison makes sense or is reasonable.

I will say that i've ran into enough errors due to people entering tabs into places that they shouldn't that my hate for tabs has grown more than it should. This ranges from people somehow (via copy+paste or whatever) entering a tab into a form field that doesn't allow for it to other engineers doing something similar for code and causing weird issues.

How is that any different than Japanese “face saving”.

Very different.

I assume Boeing is arguing because they either believe they did nothing wrong (sense of justice) or they will get in trouble for admitting they were wrong (sense of security). There are probably other possibilities.

Those are very different than saving face. That has more to do with maintaining your own personal standing with your community (sense of pride and self-worth).

I don't think Boeing is refusing to take blame because they are worried that their standing within their community is at risk.
Personally, I feel the difference between alcohol and marijuana intoxication to be so different, it doesn't necessarily follow that the same rules should apply.

> There's almost no place in this country where you can live without a car.

There's almost no place in this country -that is affordable- where you can live without a car.

That's the real problem. Sure - there's NY or SF, which for the most part have the infrastructure to support most people's non-car needs. But only the very few can afford to live in either place. I know I couldn't afford it, unless I somehow could land a FAANG job (not likely at my age and education level). I can't even afford to live in the downtown area of the city I currently live "in" (Phoenix) - prices there have skyrocketed, mainly due to certain infrastructure transportation improvements and other things making downtown "the cool place" to live at (and conversely pushing out the artists and such who can't afford to live there any longer). Expensive loft apartments, existing urban housing in the historic parts (pricing gone thru the roof on those). It's crazy. So - out in the "suburbs" I stay (which isn't really the real suburbs any longer, since I'm in an older area that used to be "the edge" but no longer).
While I was initially pretty shocked that Mozilla would make a walled-garden move like this, doing it on the mainline release (for a primarily non-technical audience) and not holding the same requirement on dev and nightly builds actually feels like an appropriate balance, if that is indeed accurate.

Probably near 100% of Tridactyl users would be comfortable on at least the dev version of FF; it may be that an appropriate remediation would be to offer the `fixamo` functionality on an unsigned extension release only.
It's from before, when it was a tool for marking up the scene, not an artistic tool. It's retained the name since then.
That is basically my position too, except the idea that Lennart has somehow caused people trouble with his projects, which is hilarious given how enthusiastically people adopt his software over the alternatives.

I really like systemd, though it has flaws. I was using Fedora at home, and Debian on servers when it was new. As soon as it was straightforward, I started using systemd on my Debian machines (building from source, when Debian was not systemd-based) and it solved a lot of issues I'd been having, made it dead simple to get new services up and running.

When Arch Linux switched to systemd, that was what convinced me to switch to Arch Linux on the desktop. I had been getting a lot of value out of systemd on Fedora, but I had wanted to try a proper rolling release.

I have a similar story with PulseAudio. I've owned many systems with no hardware mixer over the years, and the other options had been total trash.

PulseAudio actually worked. When I wanted a feature, it tended to be available on PulseAudio. In 2017, when I spent a lot of time between a laptop and a desktop (now I mostly just use a phone/PDA and a desktop), I liked being able to switch seamlessly between them.

I set up a network audio device as my second default sink (after local headphones) on both machines, so I could move my headphones between them, and whichever device was playing audio would play it through my headphones. It took hardly any fiddling about, thanks to Lennart's other project: Avahi.

Over the years, I hear a lot of people criticizing the software, but taking the functionality for granted. What systemd, PulseAudio, and Avahi do for ordinary people using GNU/Linux on the desktop is generally not possible with competing packages, which is why these packages are ubiquitous. It's not some grand conspiracy to take away your beloved OpenRC; systemd is just better (warts and all) than the alternatives, for the vast majority of users.

Obviously Lennart has personal issues with some people in some places, like any human being, but that has nothing to do with the software.

Richard Stallman may not have the best Spanish elocution, and GNU has flaws; does this tell you enough to know to choose a different libc, or a different core utilities package?

Excellent observation. You are a pro! A lot has changed since the early versions, there is an Android app written from scratch and a desktop app with a completely new frontend, but the project and especially the hardware definitely was inspired by and has some common origins with ExpEYES. Thanks for pointing it out!

See on the page:

Who develops PSLab? When did you start it? What is the story behind it?

PSLab is developed with a community at FOSSASIA. There are over 100 developers who have contributed to the project across different repositories. The project was started after Praveen Kumar, a physics teacher from India, introduced the idea of an open physics lab device inspired by the ExpEYES project at the FOSSASIA Summit in Cambodia 2014. He helped to get the project moving forward and worked with early contributors on the software components. The Open Hardware board was released in 2017 as part of a GSoC project by Jithin B P who used the ExpEYES boards he developed earlier as a basis to create the first version of PSLab. In the following years hardware components were updated, the size and design was adjusted...

Purely a guess, but I think that spaces vs tabs is a proxy indicator of some psychological difference. Perhaps it is conscientiousness. On some editors, you have to go out of your way to change tabs to spaces. If you're very picky about how your code looks and want it to always look the same in every editor and to everyone, then maybe you use spaces. Personally, I do ascii diagrams and even arrows inside of comments to point to different variables and make comments on active code. I am very very picky about how my code looks. I know code aesthetics isn't a be all end all, but maybe it could be some psychological tendency like this. Also, I'm not a paragon of big bucks or awesome, revolutionary code. Over time, perhaps conscientiousness or fastidiousness keeps you employed or people give you more responsibility and money.
I don’t think the price point is quite that low yet, is it? I have a couple I bought for $250 that can do that, but I’m not aware of a readily available radio that can receive 80MHz+ at that price point. If you can point me to it, I’ll probably buy a couple immediately.
> They are. Anyone working with linear algebra can tell that. Hell, arrays tracking bonds in types rather than in some runtime checks would be a huge thing.

That they can be used in a useful way doesn't mean you should have them. Other things (like contract systems) can do pretty much what dependent types do, but don't suffer from as many disadvantages. A tank could get your kids to school, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to get a tank if what you need is to get your kids to school.
Nonono, I think you still misunderstand a bit. Electric cars are good. It is a step in the right direction. The problem is the perception that many people have that gasoline cars are the main problem and switching to electric is what's needed. The argument by the author is against the rhetoric of electric cars, not against electric cars themselves.

All of what you said is what needs to be done (and more), so we should use rhetoric that acknowledges that cars are only a part of the problem.
Not really a big deal tbh. Instead of stock ask for as high of a salary as possible.
Has it ever been accused of being dead as a project? Falling out of favor for new projects, sure, but a new major release doesn't counter that.
Homogeneity generally engenders more trust. More trust generally means less crime. This effect can be observed across the world. There are benefits to diversity, of course, but there are also downsides. Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Bosnia, and and Burma have all been riven by ethnic conflict as a result of their diversity, to give a few examples. The USA (and now also the UK, and some other Western European countries) are outliers when it comes to peaceful diversification, aka large-scale migration, and even there I would say the experiment has yet to deliver a conclusive result.
>Lots of behaviors impair your driving ability. A study found that being dehydrated caused the same number of driving errors as being drunk [0].

On June 12th Colorado alone surpassed 1 billion dollars in legal marijuana sales [1]

Let's be overly optimistic and assume an average customer in Colorado has spent $5,000 that means you have 200,000 customers. That's 200,000 people potentially driving while high.

How many people, of legal driving age, are dehydrated to the point of intoxication in/visiting Colorado during that time period? I'm guessing less than a thousand, probably less than 100.

> I don’t feel that bad for the investors, or really even the employees. [...] But screwing over your cofounder and COO—your partner who’s been on the frontlines with you effectively running the company for eight years—that’s incredibly scummy.

Are you identifying only as a co-founder, and you don't think that startup employees deserve to also benefit from success, such as they would by having equity in the company?

I think the idea -- of startup success being all about the founders, and employees are just commodities -- is not unusual, but I don't understand why.

Don't startups hire developers, for example, who have key insights, make technical decisions, and often put in above&beyond effort -- which has substantial effect on the startup's success?

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you are American. If you have quick release wheels and a new tube (rather than patching the old) you can literally replace a tube in 4 minutes. I’ve timed it.

There's a very in-depth talk by Keith Wakeham, arguing that shifting is practically impossible with this system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9d_cBGXMwY

If I understand it correctly, the issue is that the driveshaft has to move from one "sprocket" to the next in a very small amount of time at high rotational speeds of the cassette. Because of the weight of the bearings at the end of the driveshaft, a very large force is required to accelarate it.

How is that insulting? It's pretty much true. It's not really nice, but it's not really mean either.

There are already replacements. I use them in several places, mostly openrc. I'm perfectly allowed to grumble that something's bad and pushed into most distros. Plus, I'm generally stuck using it at work.

>I’m confused. What technology did twitter replace? Oh it didn’t? This is completely new, the ability to communicate to this many people at once? Okay so what ancient rights are being trampled exactly?

What bizarro ideas people have.

Rights exist outside of technologies, technologies, media, etc are just different spaces to apply them.

Twitter, for example, can't treat people of color differently, just because it's a "new technology" and "thus" they should not have any expectation of equality there.

They have the right to be treated as equals, regardless of whether it's a new technology that does the treatment or an old one.

(Note also that what century/decade old laws based on a 3 centuries old constitution that's held as some holy scripture say, are not the be all, end all, and are not necessarily the same thing as what should be right in 2019. I say this cause Americans have the tendency to view everything under this lens, as if they can't possibly conceive of any improvements there, or as if that's even relevant to a global discussion).

>Also, it always riles me up when someone refers to social media as a “main communication” provider. What fraction of the population gets its political discourse off of Twitter?

A large enough for it to be actively targeted by political figures, political campaign advertising, and polling companies (heck, even foreign agents), and a large enough for it to have a big share in shaping public opinion.

So there's that.
Poland's only local energy source is coal, which is why they're so set on using it. Natural gas comes mainly from Russia, and they don't have the capital for nuclear. Solar isn't a good option in Poland due to the long winter nights, and it's not a particularly windy country for wind generation.

Everything 'steals time'... watching TV, reading books, listening to music, working a job, etc.

Not at all. It really depends on which drugs, how you use them, etc.

> You don't have to go far to see this in action. Think of someone who is a habitual drug user and ask yourself 'are they emotionally mature?'. They aren't. They are taking an escape. Recreational drugs are antithetical to emotional growth.

I've met plenty of people who regularly use recreational drugs and who seemed wise, calm and content.

Cannabis is not really a party drug.

There are vast differences between various 'recreational drugs'. It's how you use them that matters.
I love when you get people complaining about sample sizes, yet the effect is huge and significance levels are minuscule.

And of course it's a provincial US issue. The entire internet as we know it cannot exist without provincial US law holding it together, and a provincial US economy to keep it online. We own the internet. We own Microsoft. We own Android. We own Google and Apple and Facebook and Twitter and everyone else who matters. There are competitors in these fields, but they're not concentrated enough in any other nation to make a difference. If America fell off Earth tomorrow the internet and all the technology that connects to it would be useless. Full stop.

And that should be a good thing. Healthy for your point. You don't want the internet governed on the world stage, especially if you're American.

Thank you for your feedback. It is really valuable to get the perspective of a frequent cannabis user. Cannabis tolerance is definitely a huge factor in determining whether or not someone is impaired. As a daily user, I am sure you are fine to drive after having used cannabis (although this is not legal advice :) ). However, people forget that there are significant tolerance effects for alcohol as well. There are people who can blow a 0.15% (well over the legal limit of 0.08%) and not exhibit any impairment symptoms. The key is finding a limit that allows police to identify actually impaired drivers while giving those with tolerance enough leeway to avoid being falsely charged. The scariest thing for frequent users is the blood legal limits being proposed in Canada and across the US, give that blood can have detectable levels of cannabis up to a week after abstinence. That is why one of our big focuses is finding a replacement for blood testing.

You can sue for anything. "Its just a car driving by" would usually be a pretty solid defense that youre in the right, both in that its not substantial and doesnt hurt the original work.

So often, it's just dismissive hot takes with a sprinkling of jargon and absolutely no substance whatsoever.

Substantive critique is fairly rare.
