Vaccination is available for a minuscule subset of infectious diseases.

The immune system can't function against viruses it's never encountered, and the health of the immune system does, in fact, rely on exposure.

No need to start licking doorknobs or whatever, but people who have isolated themselves in a comprehensive way from the common human biosphere should expect to get sick when they decide to rejoin humanity. This will get worse the longer it's put off.

I'm nonjudgemental about the choices people are making to mitigate risk in their lives, but declining immune system health is a real risk of extended isolation which should be factored into the decision-making process.
Both programs are easy to use, though. If a company has Photoshop installed, use it, sure. But there is also no reason not to use GIMP if that is preferred, and .. you know .. gets the job done anyway.

I get art from artists to integrate into apps all the time that wasn't made in photoshop. Most important is they know what they're doing, whatever they're using...

No, Gimp is quite bad when it comes to non-destructive editing. Even the FAQ mentions that [1].
As someone who works in game development, non-destructive editing, specifically layer effects are used everywhere. Especially for UI elements and stylizing text.

The Clean Energy Transition, a Guide
This is a good point for other issues as well. Support for legal recreational marijuana nationally has been at a decently strong majority level for a while now, but that hasn't resulted in any action at the federal level. It hasn't even been rescheduled when Democrats hold the presidency, and support within the Democratic party in particular is extremely high. That, too, is an issue of depth. Yeah, most Democrats and even Americans support it at this point, but for most it's not a major issue.

That's part of why it's been so common to pass as a state-level initiative. If you actually get it to a popular vote, it'll pass because people are at least lightly in favor, but legislatures are slow to pass it themselves because it has little impact on their re-election chances.
This article doesn't take into account any of the myriad advances in AI, which appears to be starting up an exponential curve of improvement.

Far point regarding support, but I’ve found that Linux is often actually a lot more friendly for non technical people than windows a long as you don’t step beyond what is possible in the UI.
That’s why I assumed it and politely clarified.

This would be pretty cool in combination with something like ExplainShell, since most of the time you use something like this it's because you're not so familiar with the relevant commands that you know what they mean from memory.

It might also be better to just spit the commands out as output, more like the tldr pages. Pre-typing them at the command line on behalf of the user seems like asking for trouble.
I kind of really like the trend towards specialty training spaces, and most other people who go to specialty gyms probably find more community within that specific niche. I personally just forewent a gym membership for a hybrid physical therapy/workout space, and I love it!
I lost everything due to Covid in 2020. I have been on and off homeless since. Not able to find affordable or stable housing. I wrote three books, one of which is top ten on Apple Books for "design system", while living in parking lots at the library. I get continually harassed and fired for things I cant help. Americans are cruel to the homeless. Its quite disturbing. I have met so many that quite literally will never get out of their situation. No facilities, no showers. One lost a leg due to infection. Never trust your eyes only and most humans these days dont even use theirs very good.
The cost of storing a digital asset be it USD, a futures contract, or crypto is significantly less than paying to store physical goods. I don't see how this is up for debate.
I had a UK mobile number that had seven consecutive digits (e.g. 079* 444 4444). I got it through a friend who worked in provisioning at a new mobile operator that had just been assigned its new number blocks.

The problem was people would constantly try to "steal" the number. Four or five times a year my phone would just stop working because someone had "persuaded" a call-centre worker at my provider to assign the number to a new SIM they could sell on eBay. Apparently people pay a LOT of money for vanity numbers.

No matter what additional "security locks" they put on my account it kept getting hijacked, so eventually I just got a new (much less interesting) number.
The UX totally kills Gimp, like it hinders LibreOffice, especially in comparison to Excel. Let's not forget many pupils have little affinity with corporate IT and no interest in learning text editing for the heck of it. If you have to teach it anyway, best give them easy tools that they can recognize later in life, and with which they can help their grandparents.

Given the fact that IT teachers are scarce (at least here; teachers for programming aren't available at all below advanced educational levels), I do think that simply foregoing teaching these skills might even be better.

Yeah, I've reconsidered my comment.

These grants are definitely in line with the amounts of what are often called "micro-loans", which in some contexts are often as little as $200 (eg. Kiva). In other contexts a micro-loan is up to $50k (eg. SBA).
Are they tight enough for activities like running and hiking, or is it just casual usage? Send a link of your shoes.
The fact that some things are more easily — or better, directly — expressable in some languages doesn’t necessarily imply your thinking is changed or that you can’t internalize the concept without access to that language.

I don’t have twenty different words for specific shades of green or types of snow, but can still easily recognize them and use them in my thinking.
Anti-abuse definitely has by far the strongest argument there.

My position (on anti-abuse specifically) is that the pros may still outweigh the cons, but that there are very real and sizable cons to everyone if you open source it (as opposed to most software, where the cons are far more likely to be born by the company).

Maybe there's a best of both worlds where companies settle on the same open core but do their own modifications and fine tuning.
Somewhat agreed, although to be fair, the other migration paths do seem more reasonable:

> IE/Edge ==> Firefox
Well, if you're a user of said desktop environment, it's a useful signal that the program will at least attempt to fit in with the look and feel, may possibly integrate better, and can be expected to use less RAM because it uses components you've already loaded.

PDF is, it's true, also appalling. What I was actually asking the school to do was just write the shit they put in Word docs in the actual email. There was absolutely no need for it to be in an attached document, it was just words and pictures.
>Gimp is quite on par with photoshop, and unless you are a pro, the difference of feature set doesn't matter.

It's not about the features. I agree there's more or less feature parity for the 90% of use cases, but gimp has bad UX.

It's just clunky and frustrating to use, and there's no sugar coating that fact.

I hate using gimp.

A version of Math that had non-static methods instead of static ones would be strictly worse IMO. Extra allocations, extra line noise from instantiations, very likely many users would start keeping Math objects around as local, member, or even static (lol) variables.
Sorry. gimp is crap compared to Photoshop. Gimp was on-par with Photoshop when it came out in the nineties. It hasn't improved much since.

That said, gimp is free. Adobe Creative Suite is over half a grand a year. For most people, knowing gimp is a useful life / workspace skill. Only the very elite will have access to Photoshop. Learning Adobe tools is simply not helpful for 98% of the population, as a life skill (beyond the general skills learned with any tool).
Not sure I fully agree. The bank does not just hold my money. It’s going to turn around and lend some of thst money and make a decent return and especially in a high interest environment. They wouldn’t be able to do that if I didn’t keep my deposit with them. My risk is non existent because of the govt and not because of the banks clean character of protecting my money.
If all software specifications were as finite as bridge specifications you would see a lot better failure rates.

A bridge is deployed in a single instance, in a single environment with a specific type and quantity of traffic. Everything about what a bridge does is known and quantified. As a rather direct example, look at the software that runs traffic lights; doesn't really ever fail, every possible state is covered, and as a result we trust with our life that when our light is green, the cross-traffic is red.

There's plenty of software that is as reliable as bridges. On the other hand there's a lot of professional engineering that I would trust far less than a web app. Things like high-end cars, sports equipment, rockets, etc. are all signed off by professional engineers but have an incredibly high failure rate.
It's not a matter of better, but a matter of society: no single surveillance capitalism software must be allowed for children nor public institutions in general, by law. States who allow that are already in a deep threat, and no, I'm not joking.

Beside that: Microsoft have invested big money on desktops, their own way, it's normal you find better support around, and that's because schools do not teach anything IT related as they MUST, witch means for users, not against them...

If someone wants to see this happen then they should start a company which offers this as a service to schools - I've no idea if this already exists, it probably does but my point is schools don't just decide to run certain systems on their own, they meet with providers and decide which best meets their needs. Someone with this goal should try and get a spot at that table and maybe it'll actually happen.
It’s interesting that some engineers went on to work with Be, and then a bunch of engineers from Be went (back, for some of them) to Apple early in the MacOS X era. There are things you can trace back to the Newton across companies like that.

Another thing was text selectors, where you could do things with random text, depending on what it was supposed to represent (open the web browser when taping a link, open the phone app when tapping a phone number, track parcels, show a place in Maps, things like that). Nowadays, it is everywhere, but it was a nice feature on the Newton.
Us too. We actually pulled our toddler from daycare for the summer just to not be sick for a while. He was in school 2 of 5 weeks prior to that with the other 3 home sick. It’s exhausting.
Interestingly, many schools are now using ChromeOS, a "locked-down" version of linux.

Alas, only Chrome and Google-based applications are allowed; however, it's a good step away from more expensive products.
There needs to be a, "third way" developed that isn't, "FOSS/Open Source" or, "Proprietary." It's worth remembering how much of the revolutionary computing of the 194/5/60's was developed using models that tactfully combined private and public industry. Programs like ARPA provided funding for open ended research which gave us the Alta and the ARPANet (thanks Lick!) while companies like IBM performed an important social function in providing especially young engineers with cutting edge jobs during their golden era. There's a vivid history on this subject that's worth looking into.

If we're going to be adults about the thing-- Developing technology requires global or at least national stability. Global stability traditionally has, "required" global hegemony. Developing technology allows the United States and her allies to to remain technically ahead of competing nations which in a feedback loop allows for the development of further technology. There's a sideways argument that in truth, in some sense, that the technology we, "ought" (Hume) to be using in schools should be, "nationalized" in the same sense that the, "internet" as a tangible infrastructure is a, "national" resource. Imagine a kind of Sudbury School where children use advanced, "democracy computers" to, "rehearse" avid citizenship given the political constraints of our society. The computer could facilitate a social revolution in an educational setting if used in this manner. I really do think this is what Alan C. Kay is talking about when he says, "the computing revolution hasn't happened yet."

I agree in general, but this:

the public wants constant innovation

Seems less true to me than "VCs, entrepeneurs, middle management and MBAs want constant innovation", which is to say "capitalists want constant innovation". The constant churn is a sales-driven impulse to capture more of the market, and it's organizations throwing endless (and mostly pointless) change in order to move a few more units or renew a few more subscriptions. It's not the consumers who think software isn't finished, it's the people selling it.

Think about Office 97 and what you do today. Has anything added to MS Office since then mattered at a wide scale?

The flip side of this is that it's very annoying to not know the executable names on GNOME, because the UI doesn't train you. What if I want to launch one from the command line?

It's all very well creating a fairy land where nobody needs to know the real names of things, but sooner or later the veil must be pierced.

The point is there's someone to sue when things go wrong. I'm not being facetious.

If government runs Gentoo and it turns out there's a decades-old bug in polkit that gets chained with an 0day that results in everyone's social security numbers getting leaked, who's responsible?

If that happens with Microsoft they can in theory sue, and more importantly they can blame Microsoft in the media.

That probably was--or should have been the case. But it's one of those things that seems like it would be pretty straightforward. After all, if a fairly young child can do something, it seems like a computer wired up to the Internet could. And in fact, voice recognition has gotten quite good--at least for English speakers without a strong accent. But actually carrying on a conversation in natural language is a really hard problem, even if children can do so from a fairly young age.
