> months are often referred to by their ordinal number

What do you mean by “often”? Humans always use ordinal numbers for counting things like months, days, weeks, etc. There is no concept of 0 to be applied here, except for programming array indexing purposes.
> What do you mean ‘people like you’? What group membership are you claiming? Given that I also agreed that such policies exist, are you saying I am someone like you?

I and the author and several other people who have talked to you on this page.

----

At a point where a conversation devolves this far I'm not sure how to respond to it. I am not sure what you are objecting to on a broad scale other than how very specific phrasing in these comments came across to you -- and I'm not going to waste time proving to you what I was trying to say; either you believe me when I try to clarify what my intentions are and try to clarify what the author meant, or you don't believe me. I'm not going to enter a discussion where we recursively debate what subject we're debating. I'm willing to argue about a lot of things, but I'm not willing to get that meta.

I'm also definitely not willing to have an argument about how communities should philosophically respond to harm based on whether or not the people hurting them meant to. Honestly, I don't understand how that conversation is at all relevant to the original objections people raised about the article. If you think the author is lying about their intentions writing this piece, then just say that and move on. If you think the author is lying and they haven't ever experienced discrimination or oppressive systems, then fine, just say that and move on. But if anyone wants to do a deep dive where we annotate every sentence of their comments, then they're just going to have to do that annotation on their own, I'm not really interested.

I don't completely understand how it's possible for someone to be so offended about the danger of reading too much into people's intentions while they simultaneously break apart someone else's comment line-by-line and say that they are "metaphorically" speaking for an entire community and that we should judge that as if they are intending to be that community's representative. Do you really not see the irony in this?

> We can also agree that misrepresenting or distorting other people’s intentions is wrong

On this one point it seems that most of us on this thread have signaled we are in agreement, including the author, and maybe that's a good point for me to step back and go do something else. I do wish everyone on this thread the best, and I hope that people with differing experiences about neurodivergence continue to have more avenues to share their experiences with the world.

The irony for me here is that the author adds no additional intelligence or insight of their own - this is a simple retelling of the story of the Idiocracy film - framed as a prophecy coming true - simply to add eyeballs to the content machine that pays their salary.
It's amazing how every time an article like this comes up, somebody tries to equivocate it with the west.

It's not the same.

The difference is that if you go around in North Korea (or in China, these days) saying Dear Leader is clown, somebody shows up at your doorstep with guns. Here it's a national sport.

The difference is the people with guns. Ask Denise Ho.
If someone said it was, would you avoid reading it? If I can guess, maybe your hero worship (I presume) of this guy is making you unobjective.

Now when I say "hero worship", it sounds like I'm saying he's the opposite of a hero, to be honest I just know the name and the case, I haven't dug deep into it to make my own judgement, but I've seen a lot of comments championing him as a hero, and to me it seems their view of him clouds their judgement.

What? Why? This is interesting. As a woman the only thing that offends me in "tech" is people who don't treat me as a person, but rather as a "woman in tech." I am person. I am just as good as you. I don't need some strong man to protect me from the big, scary world of the impolite hentai-masturbating nerds. Throwaway since I want to tell you to go fuck yourself. Yes, even women know those words, thank you very much.
They were instructed to avoid capture by any means because they had been indoctrinated by propaganda that indicated horrific treatment by Allied POW personnel. While this was obviously false, it's interesting to note that Japanese knowledge of America's history with slavery, segregation, and Indian removal would have made this assumption not unreasonable, and further, may have influenced Japanese treatment of American POWs. After all, a major consideration in Japan's decision to go to war in the first place was the leadership's understanding that their lack of status as a white power would hamper their colonial ambitions. They were only a few decades removed from being excluded from the Berlin Conference, for example.
It wasn’t just secrecy it was also production capacity pretty much as soon as they could produce enough of them they started to use them on land as well. The proximity fuse was key to the US war in the pacific as well.

It’s probably the main reason for why the US has dominated the electronics industry through the 20th century. The miniaturization required and the ability to mass produce electronics required the development of new production techniques. The proximity fuse was the first use of PCBs in mass production.
In a lot of ways, GNU Emacs is the last life raft from the MIT AI Lab and its Lisp Machines.

I'd still love to see a Linux/SBCL Lisp Machine. I wonder to what extent such a thing is possible.

On another tangent, I'd love to see an Elisp compatibility package for Common Lisp, which would essentially be GNU Emacs with the C bits replaced with Common Lisp.

What are the chances these emails were actually sent out in error, like Lastpass claims? It’s not in-plausible, but I also take it with a grain of salt.

To be fair to them, I don’t think we’ve seen any reports of folks password DBs actually being compromised. Just a lot of presumed failed attempts.

If the e-mails were sent in error, then it’s all much to do about nothing. If the master passwords were actually compromised, then the system still successfully protected the clients password assets.
My guess would be that after the initial period of no taxes if the company wasn’t able to turn a profit on the patent then they would have to either sell the patent to avoid taxes or list it as a value that they would manage to be able to pay taxes and start raising money, might help with patent/copyright squatting
Use client TLS certificates and let the browser handle credential management, including at-rest encryption. Or use FIDO2 hardware. There are many options available but for probably familiarity reasons the vast majority of users and browsers didn't go down that path, and neither did website owners.

>There are also, afaik, strict rules for the IRS to firewall this info from criminal (as opposed to tax) prosecutions. The motivation for these rules is to not discourage people from paying tax on all their enterprises.

I don't know how well that works in practice, but I feel like if it is used at all in criminal prosecutions then that would still be a 5th Amendment violation. That is, imagine this hypothetical:

- They have evidence you're a head gangster.

- They raid your warehouses and find a set of accounting books showing profits of $17,530,000.

- They subpoena tax records that turn out to have you saying "Misc income: $17,530,000."

- They argue in (criminal) court that, "aha, he must be running a criminal enterprise because his books show the very same income he reported on his tax forms."

There, even though you didn't report it as criminal income, they're still using compelled testimony (legal requirement to report that criminal enterprise income) against you in prosecution of said criminal enterprise.

Again, I don't know what happens in practice, just saying that if they did it like that, that would be a clear 5th Amendment violation.
I think the reality is much darker than this: cognitive elites have fewer children than the rest so the average population IQ drops over time (once you fix the low hanging fruits of nutrition/health care of course) . I do not see any solution to this that is not straight out of Brave New World.
I particularly love the UI at the Hospital. Just icons. I have felt this way about tablets and the ever-devolving UI trends on the web that infantilize users. Just mashing our big fat fingers onto one of three pretty, beveled chips. Turning us into sub-literate simpletons because they can't be bothered to put a word on a thing!
Germane to this, though, are which limitations are real, and which are artificially imposed.

Icons are an artificial limitation. Ditto for the app store (access and distribution via web are much easier than an app store, and curation could fulfill the trust aspect).

Technology-wise, there's no technical limitation preventing a web app from sending instant messages. We are, however, hampered by the adoption of browser support for things like cameras, gamepads, etc, but even there, much of that is policy, and not due to how long it takes to integrate with browsers.

Games/performance are the one thing that's true here, though it's possible WASM will upend that, too.

The app stores taking sizable cuts of the profits provide a strong incentive to prioritize apps over web, and drag their heels on supporting web apps.
Your comment is patronizing, but I'll do my best. Pollution is still a problem for me.

I'd say I evolved as I matured as an individual. There was only so much fearful propaganda I could consume before my curiosity led me to examine the premises. The repeated invocation of apocalypse to scare people has direct historical parallels to other religious financial schemes.

What is an ideal climate, and how would fallible men determine that? Does it not seem backwards for man to dictate what nature should be, when man will never have sufficient information to describe nature?

Who knows, maybe your views will also continue to evolve? I hope I can retain enough curiosity to do the same for myself.

Not quite, I want to say is there are Unix dogmatists, that don't use the mouse because of what they think the right way to use a Unix-like system is, not that preferring to use a mouse or not makes you a (Unix) dogmatist.

I do realize that for sure. I can see someone not liking it. But it was eerie for someone to not see the satire jump out at them. This wasn't an 'anti take', or 'Oh a mean corporation how about that' i.e. cynical or blaze attitude to satire ... rather it was just 'don't get it'. That said, I will admit, if the medium of the message is not inspiring, then maybe it's not worth the effort for someone to even try to process it. Nobody in my family likes it either.

But any film that's being reviewed 15 years later is worth watching I think.

I like much of what the author is getting at. Not all dictionaries are not equivalent, and you can really see the difference when you start paying attention. But his prose is overwrought and distracting.

The best acting doesn't draw attention to itself as acting; you just see the character. The best music, in my view, doesn't draw attention to itself as music; you're just immersed in it. The best English prose doesn't draw attention to itself as writing; you're just immersed in a description of something, or a story about something, or an account of something. It's understated to the point of being easy to underestimate.
That was a fascinating article, I liked how you covered the human element in how it helps the paralyzed and the intuitions/visuals of the researchers in the field.

Future applications can be good or bad, but of course that makes it even more important to record the early history of the field and these kind of articles will also help in start the ethics discussion at an earlier stage.
This is what happens as things move more into mainstream from a few technical users using this as intended in sort of a small walled garden so to speak and then as it grows you get non technical users and bad actors. Look how smtp started, open for anyone where open relays were expected, to what we have today - still a large spam problem, compromised accounts with security on top of it. There are lots of rewrites and different smtp programs as things like smail and sendmail were replaced by exim, postfix and qmail (qmail which is free software, but really unmaintained and could be anyone's problem if they wanted).

I'd argue if there is an application that being built on libraries with out a full understanding of keeping them maintained over the years you will get a massive cluster fuck with code rot. These are things that are learned with experience, as a dev starts they take short cuts and learn from the mistakes. It is not a bad system when you are learning from your mistakes. There are simple solutions like using an operating system that is maintained. Log4j and java packages exist for example in operating systems that get security updates - and continue to do so for the life of the operating system.

So... this is essentially a cultural question, so I think the best way to look at it is empirically.

Not exactly your question, but there's an anthropological pattern whereby gift exchange between individuals of disparate class or power (eg peasant & lord) automatically create a tradition. If a boss gives his employees a turkey for christmas, christmas turkeys become a permanent expectation. If a lord give his king 20 camels for spring equinox, this can easily escalate into a permanent tax.
Amazingly I take few breaks (not that I’m especially productive regardless of breaks). I just have a few stretches of long sitting, and yep chain smoking. Highly do not recommend! But nasty weather aside, I do think if I ever manage to quit I’ll keep the sitting outside habit. That’s quite nice.

Slight tangent: I do appreciate that it’s a relatively reliable assumption now that smokers go outside. My parents still don’t even do that. Which… yeah, it’s a lot easier to smoke 1+ packs/day if you can just keep right on doing whatever you’re doing.
Its not standards compliant for C++17 to use the 80bit precision version if I remember correctly. So it is in the languages, the language is just badly supported.

My god, a mouse click which actually does something in a Terminal prompt! What a concept.

But seriously though, if I could just ask for two things in emacs:

1. Enable mouse mode by default (Yes -- I love UNIX too, but this is ridiculous)

2. Give up on "yanking" and "killing" with only the keyboard and allow for text selection with the mouse. OP touches on this a bit, but why anyone should have to write their own functions to accomplish it is a bad sign.

Because I know I will get yelled at for this - especially #2 - is this limitation due to the fact that emacs (and I guess, vi) act like a pager with distinct modes of operation? And, yes I know GUI versions exist, but I shouldn't have to switch to something else just because the canonical implementation is incomplete.

It's really not. Most servers have AST2400 or AST2500 with no secure boot.
Ouch, that sucks, good luck in your recovery.

The issue with the One Wheel is that it balances nose to tail by accelerating or decelerating, but it has a finite amount of power available. Once you’re going close to the top speed it can’t accelerate anymore (or you’re maxing out the acceleration) it can no longer balance to the nose side and the front drops.

There’s “pushback” to warn you, people try to mitigate it with extra little wheels (“fangs”), but it’s really seems like it’s just an inherent issue.
There's little security advantage to doing this other than some obscurity, because a well informed attacker can still implement all the same attacks:

* An attacker with access to the database will know they can reduce the "hashing algorithm" to two sequential hashing algorithms and still bruteforce a series of plaintext passwords to check to see if the hash matches what is in the database.

* An attacker with access to the plaintext network communications or app server can just store and replay the second hash to login

* An attacker with access to the client machine can grab the plaintext password still

Lastpass does this is for end-to-end encryption reasons, where it is useful, but for standard apps I don't think it would be.
Not my pup! I don’t even smoke on walks with her because she dislikes the smell so much.
That’s a great question. From what this article describes, the movement to reclaim space for pedestrians and cyclists started within civil society, not with city planners. Of course at the time there were still people hesitant about these changes, but there was a momentum.

It seems there is a misconception I see here more often. For daily shopping, you can stay in your neighbourhood. Every neighbourhood of 10,000 people has a supermarket and some additional shops. Many primary schools as well.

Going to the inner city of Utrecht would be for bigger shopping, like clothes or anything. And have a drink or go out for dinner. Often you can go by bicycle from your neighbourhood or by bus. If you want to go by car you can park close by for a small amount of money (yes, small, people like complaining :) ) or park more on the edge of the city centre and go for a walk towards it. The city centre hardly has supermarkets, the real estate is too expensive and there is no free parking.

It sounds like you have an existing preconceived notion and anyone giving you any answers isn’t going to make you say “oh you’re right, I hadn’t thought of that”.

The parent gave you valid, legitimate reasons why people do it, and you’re saying “yeah I’m ignoring all that because -technically- you can do the same things on the web”.

The user experience is undeniably better in most native apps, that’s just reality. Nobody’s saying it’s impossible to match it, but to make a web app that comes close to a native app in terms of UX takes a lot of work. Most web apps are nowhere near the level of polish or performance that comes for free with an OS’s UI tooling.

Think about it: If what you’re saying was true, then you’d see services with web apps that are of equal or better polish than their native apps (since they usually maintain both, like how eBay/Twitter/Reddit has their web app and the native app), and that just basically doesn’t happen.
> The "covidiots", as you call them, seem to be everywhere, at least going by what's happening on social media right now.

We have more of them than others. It's very noticeable when you come back from Italy, France or even Germany how the mentality in the Netherlands is Different. After a week in Italy I have seen 0 people not complying to COVID rules. I'm in the airplane back to NL and immediately I'm greeted with hordes of people wearing chin diapers (and giving you a big mouth if you say something about it).

It's more the cloudedness. Gloomy days just like this whole week. May not always count as rain, but when it's dark and gray all day, all life is sucked out of me anyway.

You've got it quite backwards. The superb IDE works synergistically with the language design to create an overall superior experience.

Poor language design (undecideable edge cases, dynamic and unpredictable meanings) makes it impossible to create a satisfying IDE experience.
