True, but if the goal is to no longer languish in a distant 3rd place, then the power-user features that we find lacking on Lin/Win are a red-herring, since we constitute a tiny fraction of computer users. From my experience, I don't think Lin/Win DEs are actually so bad so as to affect mass adaption. I've introduced dozens of new students to Linux, and have had largely positive results, and also generally found the Windows -> Ubuntu switch easier than Windows -> macOS (assuming all are pre-installed)

And that last assumption is truly the hard part. There is no software meritocracy. There is no "if you build it, they will come". It's sales all the way down. Until this changes, whatever is outputted from FAANG/MS market research firms will be what's popular, end of story.
based on the hostname, although the httpd isn't answering, it makes me wonder if they also made the calculator speak BGP and take a full ipv4/ipv6 BGP table. Somehow with the RAM requirements I doubt it.

My problem is I'll catch myself playing code golf in the name of efficient expression, or writing mini frameworks when they'll never be used again.

In general, I agree with your first draft idea. Get the thing working before you optimize for whatever is bothering you.

Though, I also find that when I do waste time doing something that doesnt matter, I end up staying engaged longer than if i just stuck to the problem at hand. That is to say, if you're going to procrastinate it's better to procrastinate by writing code.
It sounds like this stuff is only mildly dangerous and easy to keep safe with if you know what you're doing. Considering that it's been used as a chemotherapy drug for years, it'd be surprising if it wasn't.

Most of the "Stuff I Won't Work With" is fantastically dangerous even when you know exactly what you're dealing with and take all of the right precautions.

Describing them as borderline totalitarian isn't helpful in the debate. It's OTT, hyperbolic and undermines the point you are making. Requiring someone to prove their legal status in the country isn't "totalitarianism" or even "authoritarian". Agree windrush was a total shambles and shameful, but that was largely down to incompetence and not malice. Anyone who genuinely is in a life threatening condition can receive treatment at NHS A&E hospital - like any tourist visiting from overseas.

Even if you want to learn Haskell, learn Elm first. Two weekend of Elm will do more to explain Haskell do you than just about anything else.

Elm is beautifully simple. And it gives you such a solid foundation to learn Haskell and how to think in Haskell. Even if it's not Haskell and is a much smaller language.

4 out of 5 people will learn Haskell faster by learning Elm first, than by just focusing on Haskell. And I mean even accounting for the time learning Elm it still will be faster to learn Haskell.

I returned the next meeting with some benchmarks showing that we spent a total of 100ms in these code paths, in an application that ran for hours.
My understanding is that chemotherapy is indiscrimate when it attacks cells - it affects cancerous and healthy cells alike. However, doctors assume the healthy cells will recover from the weakening effects of chemotherapy. Meanwhile the cancer cells are stressed to a greater degree by the chemotherapy and thus suspectible to death. All this is presented as the "best outcome" scenario for chemotherapy treament.

However, for some patients (and depending on their type of cancer) chemotheraphy can leave lingering side-effects and can even cause cancerous cells to recur or turn even more aggressive. For some cancer patients, chemotherapy is not about curing the cancer but slowing the cancer spread ("treatable but not curable" is the phrase used by doctors for some cancer conditions).

Although chemotheraphy can be succesful for some (many?) patients, as you say it still feels like a crude, blunt approach to treating cancer. Doctors might baulk at that description. But consider: if someone has a non-metasized cancer (i.e. cancer in one part of the body that has not spread to other parts of the body), chemotherapy is applied with blunt force to the entire body including to the majority of healthy cells in the body. I can't see how anyone can say this isn't a coarse and crude treatment method even when the outcome is deemed successful.

The effects do not always have to be immediate, Google once got caught reducing its labor pool by agreeing not to hire from the competition. At first glance you would think that less workers would result in higher wages when it actually fucked over the workers a dozen times harder because they could no longer get alternative jobs in the area.
The nonsensical "lab animal" argument has been debunked a dozen times. It is bullshit. For animal rights reasons, labs switched to rats and mice being given a perpetual, self-serve diet of food.

"People in the 2000's weighed about 10% more than people in the '80s who ate the same amount of calories, with the same micronutrient distribution, and did the same amount of exercise [1]"

To say that the cited study is laughable gives it far too much credit. For instance it specifically and only considers leisure activities. As to self-described dietary results, the only takeaway is that people are far more full of shit now than then. It is Ginny in the Sopranos boasting about their diet while eating chocolate bars in the laundry room.

It's interesting how gullible people who are otherwise so discerning are when it comes to diet, particularly for dietary excuses. There is no field that has been so rife with study that upsets study, and gross scientific malpractice, as nutrition. But hey, here's one study where they mangled numbers from sets decades apart and drew some viral result. Serious groan.
Death rate considerably lags behind infection rates especially at the start of a wave, for multiple reasons (for example, it does take take a while until people get admitted to the hospital, where they are often for multiple weeks before they die, or that in a wave first active people with lots of contacts get infected and only later it spreads to older people who often have fewer contacts). So might be too early to say that.

If this isn’t illustrative of the tradeoff between freedom/individual liberties and overbearing government imposed restrictions, I don’t know what is. This particular type of restriction ends up being acceptable to some because they aren’t the ones losing out on a freedom they exercise, while others feel like they’re losing more relative to others - it’s a classic tyranny of the majority. We have a solution for all of this - it is to educate people but let people do what they want. Those who think the risks are too great should constrain their own lives, instead of demanding that everyone else change all of society to create an acceptable risk profile for those who are risk-averse.

That makes sense. Sorry if I was a bit incredulous ;-) I've been publishing for about 10 years, so I'm only talking about the current situation. Things might have been quite different before academic publishing was all online, before arXiv, and before having a "personal website" was a thing. If the publishing agreements back in the day already had a clause allowing the author to privately redistribute their paper, I would assume that if you as the author can get the published PDF anywhere (from a former colleague that still has academic access, directly from the publisher, or potentially even from SciHub), you should be free to then forward it to others or put it on your personal website. IANAL, obviously, so don't quote me on whether it violates copyright to get your own papers off SciHub ;-)
Yep. Something must be done, so they do something.

People often do seem much happier when some action is taken, even if they know it's meaningless, so it's not exactly an irrational response on the part of the leadership.

Chemotherapy combined with surgery and radiation is still a standard and still does cure a significant portion of people - my father's cancer was cured by this "ordinary method".

The problem is that more selective methods of killing cancers run up against the tendency of cancer cells to mutate and find a defense against them.

And this is definitely stuff that's killing you and the cancer and hoping the cancer dies first. To keep going, you need a strong reason to live.
That's crazy. Are they going to limit the amount of weight you can lift as well?
The way I see it, publications like Elsevier and similar should change their business models to be "curators" of public papers. All scientific papers should be submitted to arXiv or a similar public facing service, so that they are available for everyone.

Then, Elsevier, Springer, SAGE , et al. should spend their money making ToC / abstract lists of the best of the best papers in the different subjects.

That´s the main value of these editorials, they should super specialize in that and leave the distribution/editing to others (they kind of already do, they just want to have control).

I may not want to pay ANY money once I am looking for a specific article that I know it exists. But I will pay good money for a "push" type of listing/abstract and maybe analysis of the best articles in certain subjects (its kind of what Feedly does but without any analysis/editorial but just dumb grouping).
> That a therapeutic drug is explosive only adds to that sentiment.

Explosivity and toxicity are unrelated. Cyanide can kill you, but it's not explosive IIRC. You can make explosives with aluminum, but it's safe to use as a food container, ...

> Chemotherapy is basically cave man medicine.

The main problem is that cancer cells and normal cells are very similar. Anything that kills cancer cells will probably kill normal cells. Anything that is safe for normal cells is probably safe for cancer cells. Killing one but not the other is like a poll trickshot.

(Killing bacteria or fungus is easier, because some of the molecules they use are different, and sometimes they produce the molecules using a different method, so you can make a drug that attack the difference and hope the best.)

Also, not all the treatment for cancer use chemotherapy methods. Some cancers are affected by hormones, so you can modify the hormone levels. (This also cause problems in the part of you body that use the hormone, so it's a tradeoff.)

South Korean here and I just wanted to add some thoughts. The real reasoning for the ridiculous ban is because they've been shutting down the gyms whenever the numbers spike but can't anymore because the business owners are in a desperate state because of the prolonged shutdowns.

Obviously how well we're managing the pandemic while protecting civil liberty and privacy is a hot political discussion.

You read the EU report right? People who buy cracked copies of software do not, in general, ever pay for that software (certainly not retail anyway).

There was also a great study on the impact to piracy by Netflix which showed a huge decrease in piracy of DVDs when the cost to view them was reduced to something people were willing to pay.

The economics have been demonstrated many many times that the market segments into what people are willing to pay for a product, and if your retail price is higher than the bulk of the market's willingness to pay, then you get either piracy (copies which generate no revenue) of if you could have perfect DRM, no revenue. The only difference between the two scenarios is how many copies are in circulation, not the amount of revenue that was made on selling the product.

The non-intuitive result is the for creative works (books, movies, video games) having more copies in circulation enhances revenue because subjective reviews heavily influence buying decisions in the market. This was starkly demonstrated in the London publisher's conference where publishers have all experienced that highly pirated books are more likely to be best sellers than non-pirated books. That works because more people who actually buy the book will have a better chance of having heard something positive about it before they buy it.

The markets have been dealing with DRM and non-DRM digital products for over 30 years now, there is a LOT of data that shows two things; DRM causes more problems for legitimate users than prevent piracy, and piracy has zero impact on the total revenue received from the digital products.

I can't speak to Chrome's handling of bookmarks one way or the other, but the author fundamentally misunderstands both the history of Drive and its current application.

Regarding history: Drive had tags early on and a lack of hierarchical folder categorization (think of "files sorted like email messages" instead of "files sorted in a hierarchy"). Users pushed back with a very clear demand for folders, so Google implemented them (at which point, tags are redundant). 100% of the functionality of tags exists via folders and the ability to use Shortcuts (select a doc in Drive and shift-Z) to assign a file to multiple folders.

Regarding current application: Drive syncs to filesystems of major OSes and is therefore constrained somewhat in supporting features that are maintainable across multiple OS filesystem abstractions. I don't doubt Google could find a way to implement the wishlist the author describes, but the value / cost ratio is questionable.

Author's claim of lack of support for folder colors is also just false. I agree that his full laundry-list isn't present, but folder colors are accessible by right-clicking on a folder in the Drive UI and selecting "Change color".

All of that having been said, the author's own app seems to be well-positioned to address those wants so I'm not sure why they are making wild guesses at Google's intentions instead of just taking advantage of the big, lumbering megacorp being big and lumbering and back-filling those features for users.
