> Regardless, I personally believe that it is unfair to blame the backend utility (Flatpak) for an issue caused by the frontend (GNOME Software).

There is no good Flatpak fronted to compare it to. The Flatpak project seems to believe it is Somebody Else's Problem, and consequently when everyone else poorly integrates Flatpak support into their traditional package manager frontend the Flatpak project gets to wipe their hands of it and say it isn't their fault. As a user, I don't really care who is at fault for a bad user experience if there is no good user experience alternative, and the lack of one reflects poorly on Flatpak regardless of who they believe is at fault.

That said, I'll take Flatpak over the traditional package manager with its limited and out of date software collection that requires an army of volunteer middle men to prop up.

> A 1000 line function broken down into 100 different 10 line functions which are then each called in turn (and need lots of parameters to pass around the inevitable shared state) is actually often less readable than just a 1000 line function.

Aside from the 1000 line function (sheesh), this is a failure of the IDE, not of the practice. We have computers that can inline these functions so you could see the code in a big 1000 line thunk if you would like, but only a LISP IDE gives you inlining afaik.

> “Good code is simple” doesn’t actually say anything.

That's a bold claim and I will assert it is wholly incorrect.
Good Code is simple and simple code is VERBOSE

> whether that translates to “simple” code depends on the programmers.

That is incorrect. It largely depends on the language abstractions. When the abstractions are familiar, it goes from incomprehensible (literally) to familiar. Code cannot seem simple if you do not have the familiarity with the abstractions used.

Yes.

Lots of programmers believe it because they have seen it. I have. It was embedded in hard-to-maintain code, but it was there.
Gitlab is amazing once you get into the flow of using it, especially if you self host.

Github seems to be primarily focused on becoming a social network. That might be why it’s so popular for open source and individuals, but when I’m actually working, the extensive feature set of Gitlab is much more useful.

Yeah; IANAL but I've spent a lot of time writing contracts for a specific vertical that have been reviewed by several lawyers, and I always built my contracts in this same structure. There would be a MSA that governs the overall relationship -- sets a baseline for what things cost and what their conditions are, and then there would be various contracts that would include the MSA by reference for enhanced or fixed-rate services.

Everyone preferred this structure that I dealt with, because the total length of the contracts were dramatically shorter and the structure was much easier to read and comprehend.

It's funny if you think about it, in a certain way cats are very much like people. Those that are poorly raised or socially isolated when young have issues later on to adapt to having others around, whereas if they've been brought up properly (and maintain that through practice) then it's a lot easier for them to make new connections later in life.

It's probably true for a lot of other animals as well.

I think you could encode a “shelf” last-write-wins CRDT into your HTML using data attributes without exploding your file size. You would need to add a data-version attribute, and if you want to support hand-editing or editing by programs that don’t understand the CRDT, a CRC32 or other parity as data-parity so your loader can tell when a user might have edited a row without updating data-version.

Shelf is really simple - the JS implementation is tiny (https://github.com/dglittle/shelf) and a walkthrough of the algorithm here is a quick read: https://bartoszsypytkowski.com/shelf-crdt/amp/

It wouldn’t handle character level sync - but would let you merge documents at a rows/items/blocks level.

Algebraic Geometry is all you say it is, however, working with young engineers who have not had more geometry in their curriculum, I've noticed they don't have that intuitive spatial connection to reality other than through CAD or their lived experience. I am reading Tristran Needham's book, "Visual Differential Geometry and Forms: A Mathematical Drama in Five Acts", and it is amazing. I love Sir Michael Atiyah's famous quote that Neeham uses at the start of the book:

"Algebra is the offer made by the devil to the mathematician. The devil says: I will give you this powerful machine, it will answer any question you like. All you need to do is give me your soul: give up geometry and you will have this marvelous machine."

And it continues: "...the danger to our soul is there, because when you pass over into algebraic calculation, essentially you stop thinking: you stop thinking geometrically, you stop thinking about meaning."

Being someone who worked with their hands in the real world building things before the current Maker movement took off, and then went on to physics, engineering, and more abstract matters, I see this deficit in the young engineers with a Master's in Mech. Eng., but no real-world experience, or intuition of the world around them and geometry. Algebraic Geometry has its place and it has achieved much, but I strongly opine that children should play in the real world a lot, learn mathematical concepts with a strong geometrical underpinning, and then move into things like Algebraic Geometry. I have watched my children's curriculum and it is no where near as heavy in geometry as it once was for me.

> Indeed but that doesn’t mean that JSON isn’t a subset of YAML. That

I ... don't think that's true. This isn't an issue of "strictness", and the document is unambiguous in both JSON and YAML. There's no question about correctness -- both parses appear to be correct for their respective languages. It's just that JSON and YAML disagree about whether the token `1e2` is an integer or a string.

If LANG-X says that `1e2` is an integer and LANG-Y says it's a string, then axiomatically LANG-X cannot be considered a subset of LANG-Y.

> It’s also worth noting that JSON doesn’t actually have a standard for

I don't see how that matters? `1e2` isn't a complex number, it's an integer.

> In theory JSON should support scientific notation but [...]

There's no "in theory" and no "but" here. Exponents are a part of the JSON spec, have been since the beginning, and are thoroughly documented in each iteration of the JSON RFC. A parser that can't parse {"a": 1e2} is not a JSON parser.
I used to (?) stress-eat periodically (especially before I started trying to space out meals) and could go a long time without any exercise so pretty sure I approached this at some point or another in my life.

I don't know what country you're based on, but in my country there are huge differences in legislation between legislatures of right or left parties.

You've made some really great points in all your comments thus far that I 100% agree with, especially with current politicians losing all economic sense.

It feels as though we're thinking of the weekend instead of years ahead... That, combined with a high percentage of economically uneducated politicians that seem more like social media influencers than actual lawmakers = not well thought out economic decisions.

When Netflix first launched, it was great - they had a massive catalogue of older/pre-existing content, and were making a bunch of their own new, original content that likely wouldn't have been made elsewhere. Their UX was also pretty great - and made finding interesting content easy.

They made it dead-easy to sign up, there was no pushy retention teams or hoops to jump through if you wanted to cancel. That's why I paid them.

Amazon Video launched here, and they had some content that I was interested in, but their UX from day one has been awful. They insist on adding pre-roll ads, despite that I'm paying them. The video quality was pretty awful and was quite regularly at something like 480p quality on my (4k) TV. Yes their X-Ray tech is neat, but the ads just drive me up the wall.

There was a time that I would've happily paid for HBO - they had/have some really great content (at least in the US), but they are or were not available in AU outside of a $120+/month PayTV device that I really didn't want.

Now there are dozens of streaming services, with their own $15-30/month fees, which will have (or not) selections of some of the content I want, each with their own uniquely awful and annoying interfaces or quirks of whether they will or won't play on my TV or device.
The in person conversations are much less likely to be embellished and polished to look like more than they are. The in person conversations are also a form of two-way communication, rather than something more like a person standing on the street corner shouting into a megaphone to catch the attention of anyone nearby.

They both provide many great features, but Bike provides some unique features too. I think they are pretty well listed on Bike's home page (features), but I'll add some notes here:

1. "Fluid" (smoothly animated) editing. You could argue it's not important, but this is something new and unique to Bike. Bike is a "tool for thought". I think how the app feels is an important aspect.

2. macOS native app, of course this is a plus and minus. But if you are on a Mac Bike will generally us a lot less resources then those apps and integrate better with the rest of the system.

3. Local files in open formats. Logseq has this of Course, but I think there's something pretty nice about having your outline just be simple HTML. Easy to parse, easy to work with, should be able to view and make sense of as long as web's around.

4. Faster. Bike is designed to work on somewhat big outlines. Moby Dick has been my test file. It opens instantly. I've just pasted that into Logseq and my computer is working hard a few minutes later. Not sure how workflowy does because it puts me over quotas.

Bike has a pretty unique foundation compared to other outliner apps. It's also missing a lot of higher level features that I plan to build out over time.

Yes, I'm very secular. But the fact that these things happen with such regularity and there is remarkable consistency and precision in them really lends itself toward the religious interpretations. Also, the skeptic in me says it's unreliable, but those glimpses of actual visual light (flickering at first, then steady) coupled with feelings of (for lack of a better word) divinity, are still hard for me to reconcile with a purely secular interpretation.

One big takeaway I had was realizing that outside the west, these types of things are well known. Here though, it seems almost no one who purports to be a "teacher" knows much about them or what to do with them.
