I grew up in a southern town that was built out of whole cloth in the 40s (Oak Ridge, TN). It wasn’t carefully done, and there were lots of issues with erosion. Enter kudzu to the rescue. For a long time it appeared that the town was going to be swallowed up by the stuff, but once the trees got tall enough, it started fading away and now you have to look hard to find it.

I think his point is that you can't label their process with any one standard methodology because it's uniquely Apple - it's all of them and none of them at the same time.

It may feel like waterfall from the outside because it seems like they do a lot of planning up front and then execute on those plans, but that's too simplistic a view of what actually happens internally.

I think it's pretty clear what gowid is saying here. The "psycholingustic effect" is the psychological effect on people of color of a language tradition that enforces the idea that light = good and dark = bad. Reasonable people can disagree on how pronounced the effect is and where to draw the line, but it's not meaningless.

I've seen posts elsewhere that claim the etymology of blacklist, specifically, isn't based on this metaphor, but this metaphor exists throughout English. Consider this line from A Midsummer Night's Dream, "Not Hermia but Helena I love. Who will not change a raven for a dove?" where light > dark is so obvious that all you have to do is compare one girl to a dark bird and one to a light bird to make your point.

Again, it's possible to go to far with this (e.g. whitespace), but that's a question of where to draw the line, not if.

If you use the Godot editor you'll see it's already sophisticated enough for general purpose UI applications. Of course you can keep expanding the requirements until no software in the world meets them but if you know what you're building then it might be the right choice. The main benefit that you won't get with almost anything else is true control over how every pixel gets actually rendered to the screen. It's able to make cross platform applications which since you're in full control over how they're actually rendered gives you tons of control. Resource utilization is fairly low and again you have full control of the stack so it's as good as you're willing to make it. C# is supported nowadays which gives you access to a mature ecosystem of libraries.

Is it the right solution for all UIs? Clearly not but IMO the UI landscape is a mess at the moment for anyone who wants to be able to build cross platform applications. There aren't really any adequate solutions as far as I can tell.

The "free press" doesn't have a "get out of jail free" card of being able to claim that they are just a "platform" and be able to dodge all responsibility for what they print like Facebook does.

If the press writes something objectively false about someone, they are starting at a defamation lawsuit. If they write something that gets someone killed, they will be staring at possible criminal liability. If they print, I dunno, a picture of a child having sex, there'll be hellfire and brimstone (both legal and social).

And no, saying "ha ha, it was just an opinion column" doesn't save them.

"Press" has perks but also has responsibilities. The free press is "ok" with these rules because they've had to follow them for decades. What they want is a level playing field.

I'm trying something similar since I believe in having a stable core which is why I'm using Java as I predict the JVM to last a while.
Relatedly, it’s about working on something that will be useful quickly and you can polish after you’re already using it every day.

E.g. I got really fed up with how clunky the AWS assume-role workflow was at work with multiple AWS accounts so I wrote a little tool using Lispworks’s CAPI for a GUI that would handle authentication and embed a webkit browser so I could control the cookies more precisely. I got an MVP that improved my workflow working in a weekend and I’ve been iterating on it over the last several months. I find this sort of process works much better than spending months working on something that I may eventually use.

> Do you think they should also not police sexual content/paedophilic content?

The latter is prohibited by law. The former is also prohibited by law unless Facebook disallows minors from using the platform. Furthermore, there's a distinct social expectation that pornographic content is cordoned off from the public square.

Appealing to common decency in policing political content doesn't work because there's conflicting views on what is and isn't common decency. Plenty of people think it goes against common decency to advocate for defunding police, or expanding abortion. Remember that what you think goes against common decency, there's plenty of people who think it very much does belong in public discourse. And there are plenty of things that you feel belongs in public discourse that others think goes against common decency.

On second thought: Facebook already does what you're advocating. Content that goes against what is genuine common decency - "common decency" meaning that the overwhelming majority of the public supports its exclusion - is removed. It just so happens that what really does go against common decency is much narrower than many people believe and mostly encompasses sexual content.
Which is pretty terrifying to me!
The article has a number of words on Bollywood:

>Colorism, the bias against people of darker skin tones, has vexed India for a long time. It is partly a product of colonial prejudices, and it has been exacerbated by caste, regional differences and Bollywood, the nation’s film industry, which has long promoted lighter-skinned heroes.

>Ms. Narayan, who recently published a book on how women are treated in India, said Bollywood had contributed to these prejudices.

>"Every heroine and now heroes, too, are whitewashed," she said. “And the villains are dark.”

I saw the documentary on Netflix and was excited that it might be about Licklider and that part of computing history which I had read some about.

I have a natural aversion when people talk about things in kind of vague mystical ways (the fingers running through the water), or when they confidently state something without stating why (complaining that copy/paste was some disaster to humanity, but not actually saying or explaining anything about it).

I like when documentaries or experts love their topic and revel in breaking it down and explaining it clearly. Some of the smartest people I know are also the first to help explain a complicated topic they're interested in to a curious lay person.

The documentary did the opposite for me, taking an interesting topic and using confusing non-explanations to make it seems more confusing than it is.

This really bothers me because it makes the curious person think it's beyond their understanding, when usually it's the person explaining that's just making it hard to understand. It felt like the director was pushing more complexity because it made it seem more 'magical', but magic is the opposite of clarity.

This could be unfairly uncharitable since it's only a short clip (and I don't know much about Ted Nelson - though I have read a lot about and respect Kay and Woz), but my impression from this was negative.
Don’t take the downvotes personally. The censors are part of our societal problem.
My statement holds. The average death rate among confirmed cases may be 10%, but no well stratified group actually conforms to that rate.
> Over time people decided that for their purposes Fielding's requirement of HATEOAS was unnecessary. I wouldn't say Fielding was wrong, but instead that others had different ideas of what was more important to them.

I mean, I think you kind of are saying he was wrong? Fielding was pretty clear about some specific principles, and "RESTful" APIs have abandoned all of them.

> I would much rather use a REST interface than a SOAP interface

I've never used an actual REST API, and I wonder if you have either. Considering much of my day job is literally writing integrations for third party APIs, you'd think I'd have stumbled across one at least once if they existed in the wild, right?

In any case, I certainly don't know if I'd rather use one over SOAP; they sound very cumbersome for usage in an API. I do know I'd rather use a simple HTTP + JSON based API of the sort often called "RESTful" than SOAP, but that's quite a different statement!
I'm afraid it's macros and elisp, but don't forget that you can write a good amount of useful elisp by recording macros and saving them in your .init file.

Their big mistake was so abrasively describing their product development strategy.

Imho, most managers also do fantastically boring administrative scut work —- think various aspects of hiring, scheduling, budgets, progress reports, personnel reviews, handling administrative complaints (EEO, sexual harassment, etc.), recruiting, etc. Maybe some things are a bit different than a CC dean, but the genre of work is similar.

The specific differences in your perception may revolve around whether the manager/dean has a trusted admin, and whether that admin is around.

Just a guess...

What do you think managers do?
The Low Beta Anomaly
Poor people have no problem paying in cash for most services.

When an organization does a lot of business using money orders that's a red flag that it's an organization so in the wrong, so terrible, that it can't trust its employees not to skim cash and look the other way when they see each other skim cash.

> Like, if color-blindness is not even a goal anymore, how would a post-racist world look? What would be the role of whites in this world?

I think the claim is that a post-racist world is a racist construct because white racism is indelible, and the role of whites is to subordinate themselves to the oppressed and support their goals, indefinitely, as reparation.
At least for myself, I found it detrimental to set milestones that were based in features. The main reason was I'd rush to finish a feature, get all excited about shipping it in "only 1 week!", then tell myself I deserved a week off. That week turns into a month, then you lose mental context.

What I found key was making it a habit to work on it. Side projects, especially solo ones, take a long time to complete. If working just a little on one is part of your daily habit, you'll have ongoing steady progress that won't come with burnout.

Yes but this couldn't be done with the red. The green junglefowl is a mangrove species, so was particularly well suited for the fishermen lifestyle.

It's the same for Caucasian people. There's a big market of tanning products and people generally tanning as some people believe a tan makes you look more healthy / shows you have wealth as able to travel somewhere hot and sit in the sun, not working indoors in some factory.

Likewise, in poorer SE Asian countries, having a tan means you have likely been working in a field all day, a lot of SE Asian people believe a tan makes you look poor.

They are both the same thing. People don't want to look poor and want to look higher up on the class system.
In the late 80s I worked at a little BBC department writing multimedia Mac & Windows software (it had moved on from the BBC Micro software it used to write). This was a team descended from the team that did the Domesday Project years before.

One day we had a visitation from Acorn trying to get us to write Archimedes software.
They asked us what they could do to make their platform more appealing to us as developers and to users.

We said we liked their CPU performance, but didn't like the Archimedes graphics hardware which was too low res and low depth, and could not be upgraded.
For example, the Risc OS system did anti-aliased fonts (which they were very proud of), but at such a horribly low resolution that the result managed to be blurry and blocky at the same time.

They didn't really get our complaints, didn't think the bad graphics were important. They had no intention of ever making a machine with enough video memory to do a better job.

We said their system UI was odd, for example unlike Mac and Windows there was no copy and paste. We gave other examples of the UI being weird just for the sake of it, but I can't remember the details after all these years.

They said all their UI was fine, and copy and paste was stupid.

That department never did publish anything for the Archimedes.

At least in the self-driving car case, it's hard to say they didn't have a big impact. For universities to allow, fund, and support students to form engineering student teams, there usually needs to be some kind of official competition that the team can compete in. In this case, those university teams made major progress on what was at the time seen as an intractable problem. Google and its ilk then headhunted all of the students in the top performing teams to launch their self-driving car division, and now here we are.
