Simply eating more omega-3, while it can lead to more robust synthesis of endocannabinoids, really has nothing to do with the study at hand. Generally we use drugs because they have different or greater degrees of their mechanism than the endogenous compounds. Not to mention we don't know if endocannabinoids such as anandamide or 2-AG even have the same effect as high doses of CBD shown in this study. Also the concentrations of the endogenous molecules are likely nowhere near high enough
I agree. IMO plumbing and agriculture are way higher than the internet. They’re what gave us more free time to build society.

To us Office 365 is one of the best value for money subscription.
What's comparatively egregious is any single-product startup believing they can charge 10-12$ per user*month. That trend (pushed by VC-backed economics) has no long-term future IMHO.
No wonder Slack had to sell. A feature doesn't automatically make a product, and a product doesn't lead to a sustainable stand-alone business.
Hopefully there will be plenty of innovative startups capable of developing interesting things outside the typical 10$ sub business model.

> We don't want "super cheap products", we want reasonably priced products we own after we buy.

I am afraid the ‘we’ here isn’t nearly as large a demographic as you think it is. If it was, we wouldn’t see the mass of advertising supported products we see.

Mainstream consumers do want free / cheap products, despite the many caveats associated with them and the market has adjusted to give them that.

The other follow up is, as a consumer, how do you determine what is a reasonable price for something. You have no visibility into the COGS other than your own experiences which may or may not apply.

Similar to the OP, I am not advocating for high subscriptions with no value or horrible dark patterns around unsubscribing…
That rings true. From memory there was a plug-in that added it later, and I asked why we didn’t release it and was told that if users were given the option it would subsume more and more functionality until it became unwieldy and difficult to use. Also since it would be cheap and flexible there would be a push to use search even when not ideal.
Interesting! VSCode isn't my thing, though, so I'll stick with N++... :)

If people wanted a fundamentally different UI than Windows has then they wouldn't use Windows in the first place. When we went from XP to Windows 7 that was a huge improvement. It was fundamentally still the same UI with the exact same workflows, just nicer in every way.

When you have over a billion users worldwide there's an expectation that you don't treat your product like a startup's art project. I haven't met a single person who wasn't completely confused by Windows 8's UI or who liked the changes. I've seen lifelong Windows users spend 10+ minutes desperately looking for the shutdown button.

There's "inspiration" by different products but in the end you need to know your own product in order to improve it.

This piece isn't about Word or nerd-shaming or the author's self-perceived mastery of desktop publishing.

It reads like a take on the absurdity of people constantly adding inane things like "must be proficient in Microsoft Word" to job postings and, consequently, their appearance on the CV of every person who applies to be a corporate drone in the western world.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if people started flagging "knows how to use pivot tables in Excel..."

Inside humor is a kernel of truth, and in the subtle washed-out humor of this article I think the kernel of truth is that people WANT tools that they can use from childhood to old age. Tools that will remain constant. Tools that can serve a variety of purposes. Tools that will be familiar even as the world changes.

This is a challenge for software development. We are reaching the point now where there are tools like Microsoft Word which have been available with recognizable continuity for 30+ years. But even it isn't clear the right business model for software which is intended for a decades-lasting long term stable release. Is it the Office 365 subscription? Copyleft open source?
FYI, the "unsaved changes" files live in %APPDATA%/Notepad++/backup on Windows.
I don’t use it for development, but it’s free, super fast, as everyone else says. In particular it will let you work with quite large text/data files and is also super simple to use. I recommend it for people who work with «medium data» and don’t know what to use. It’s got regex search, menus, toolbars etc. (But vim is better in the terminal.)
The macOS dock gets plenty of hate (it’s Apple and this is the internet, just look in this thread).

The difference is that the Dock has always been like the Dock. It also exists holistically with all the other design decisions in macOS. Put another way, Windows seems to have copied the superficial appearance of the Dock without the considering _why_ the Dock works in the macOS environment.

I use both VSCode and Notepad++, for different purposes.

Notepad++ is great when only working on a few files, or just needing to edit something quickly. It's light, doesn't use a ton of memory and can open huge files quickly.

VSCode has a lot more functionality, like advanced code editing (suggesting function names, showing parameters, refactoring, etc.), and is an actual IDE where you can also debug code, even on remote machines or inside containers. The downside is that it uses a lot of memory, and it doesn't react as fast as Notepad++, especially on low-end hardware.
You’re taking a direct translation of the root words literally and only applying it to mean legal rights and excluding moral or ethical rights.

If we agree that there is a mental health crisis (I'm on the fence on that honestly, but if), then it becomes natural to consider the causes of it. And where else would we find the causes than in the "new stuff"? A useful question may be what "new stuff" is more and less likely to be the cause? Trying to think of something new that is definitely not the cause might be interesting.

We can say it wasn't sold as a spy system. But we also say that technocracy would require all devices to be connected. Languages such as java were designed with that in mind. So, perhaps playing up the social connectivity is the means to gain ubiquitous adoption.

If you think reality is just 'naturally unfolding' you will object to this. But if you think reality is somewhat directed, that our future is sketched out (even if we are unaware of the plans), I think what I say is plausible.

Obviously I don't think reality is simply unfolding. I note that many single social events that has occurred in recent years has resulted in incremental steps towards a technocratic surveillance system. Eg, constraints to travel with 911, perpeutual surveillance, advances towards a biomedical-banking-id. We move incrementally towards a dystopia none of us would ever agree to - but it happens so slowly, it seems to be beyond perception.

As someone else mentioned - the directions are blamed on the 4 horsemen of the infocalypse - terrorists, pedos, etc but if you look it is the individual's freedoms that are lost.

More people need to experience self hosting. It is liberating, and it casts a super nova spotlight on how over priced cloud offerings really are. And if you investigate a bit, you may find you can get Business Internet service to your home; that means you have symmetric upload and download speeds, typically at least 2oo mbps or higher, able to run servers from home and completely experience the joy and power of the Internet at a small fraction of the expense if attempting the same through a cloud provider.
On my Guix systems, I've gone full obstinate idiot:

- / is on tmpfs

- the OS is mounted on /gnu

- system data is mounted on /var (and /etc is populated from /var/etc)

- user data is mounted on /usr

This way, I can avoid the plethora of separate tmpfs filesystems on most distro's (at least /dev, /run, /tmp, /dev/shm).

But I'm not running any desktop systems on Guix right now, just service containers. I'm would expect there to be plenty of Linux desktop software that can't handle /usr being for user data.

Linguistically, the distinction is much more objective (also it's not always clear cut, because there are asymmetries between speeches in terms of how understandable they are to each other) : two kinds of speech that are not inter-comprehensible are different languages.

The problem I have with this post, is that it's assuming erroneously the "eternal development" mindset. Once a software has reached maturity, beaides (very rare) security fixes there is not much that needs to be done to it. Is anyone seeing LaTeX receiving feature updates all the time? Or grep or vim in need of continuous updates?
No! And MSO, which was mentioned here multiple times, also has reached maturity decades ago.
So the "dev needs to be payed" argument is wrong. Correct is: "while the software is not yet mature enough, dev needs to be payed".
The problem with predatory subscription is that they usually kick in for mature software, when there is justification any more for paying fictitious work (perhaps that's why MS change the UI every few years, because hey, new UI lurea gullible customera while also making us look as if we actually do some programming here).

I used to work in that area. We had someone on the team that would go through open calls that were waiting for a response, phone the user at 3AM, not get a response, and close it with "assume this is fixed, please reopen if not".

He was far more productive than the suckers who spent 6 hours fixing a single fault.

It's easy to see how basic science like this leads to people flocking to not-fully-proven solutions.

I need to not catch COVID-19 for around five weeks. My wife is due to give birth, and if I'm COVID positive I can't be with her in the hospital. If she catches COVID, that's also a really bad situation. So naturally, I'm pretty desperate for any shred of hope or control. Reading this, my instinct is to walk over to the nearest dispensary and buy a lot of CBD.

But this study is very preliminary. It's early. This could have been a fluke of the data. There could be effects not being correctly measured.

And so I have to have this great internal debate: "There's nothing unsafe about this; I have no issues with using CBD; this might help; I've got nothing else I can really do other than lock myself up at home, which I'm doing". Vs "The science isn't there; I'm already triple vaccinated; and the very act of leaving home to go buy CBD is an exposure risk".
I see this linked all the time.

It's so bad that I installed Gboard instead recently (never was an Android fan, but used it for a while). But I'm not sure if it's better, e.g. typing code snippets on it is pain.

And there is a little detail in this that I'm questioning my sanity sometimes. The "fact" is that maybe iOS changed the detection point of a tap at some old release, because I was able to type perfectly on iOS 4..6, but then with 7 suddenly started to make typos everywhere. On Gboard now I can't type few words without making a mistake in every one of them. As if it was made to show me that I'm unable to type and need it so bad.
