I don't use Windows much, mostly just for gaming, but I do have Win11 and the issues you describe with the Explorer are still there.

I've never understood the reasoning of the reorganization that happened in 10, in particular why some things would end up showing twice.

I know in Windows 10 you could remove some of the clutter by editing the registry (which would be helfpully undone by some updates). Don't know if it's still the case in 11.

" I admire the French for setting things straight and not tolerating a priviledged class."

There is basically no difference at all between the current degree of classicism in Germany, France or UK.

They have an 'egalitarian' / 'Republican' attitude, supposedly, but it's all just the same.

UK has Oxbridge, and France has their 'Grande Ecoles' - and the attendance of these schools by various classes is about the same.

'English Nobility' etc. don't have that much impact on the reality of UK institutions, operations etc..

Again - and this is kind of what I'm hinting at in my answer: both classicm and anti-classism ... it's mostly preformative.

The UK had a 'revolution' in 1215 with the Magna Carta, and subsequent revolutions with War of the Roses, and Cromwell's Republic. Mini revolutions throughout the ages that put the Monarchs power in about the right place.

In France, the King had enormous power (and the Church etc..) and so things got to a revolutionary breaking point.

But in reality they are just about the same.

Even in Germany.

Now drop this one in your pipe to smoke:

'Gini' coefficient, i.e. measure of inequality, tend to be 'more equal' in European countries with current/historical monarchies than in the USA, supposedly 'land of the free'.

So UK, Demnark, Sweden, Netherlands - all Constitutional Monarchies, are much more 'egalitarian' than the US, which has enshrined in it's principles, a kind of 'egalitarianism'.

I'm not a fan of 'Critical Theory' but that is absolutely a subject for 'Critical Theorists' to deconstruct, in that the 'narrative' of 'freedom' in the US (and France) doesn't really line up with reality very well.

Libre Office corresponds with M$ Office nearly 1-to-1 feature-wise.

I’ve never seen a single person react to it’s apps as being unfamiliar or different, especially considering the variety of UI shifts M$ Office has displayed since Office 2k.
If you were referring to some specific API and integration with Sharepojnt or something I might understand your trepidation, but as your question stands, I have to say that I can’t think of a specific downside to it.

I suppose that deciding upon an output format that you will send out to clients or suppliers will be your main concern, as you will essentially choosing which version of M$ Office you are pretending to be.
I find that the older pre-xml format is more universally supported but YMMV
You definitely have to write fewer tests in well typed languages like Rust, but you still need some tests! Maybe 1/3 as many as in something like Python, rough guess.
Strange that Honda would put this out. Automotive water pumps are usually not vacuum pumps. They're down at the bottom of the cooling system pushing coolant, not up top trying to make a vacuum.

> if there was anything to remember from your dreams, you'll lose it by doing this. Dream memories are extremely fragile

I've always had a natural ability to remember my dreams. And one of the most curious things about my dreams is that I can recall (as in right now) dreams I had decades ago. I can often remember them until late in the day. I can also know when I had a dream I already had years ago (it happens often). It's almost like a deja vu.

I never had a dream diary, but I would like to make one just to find these repetitions, connections, relations, etc.

> Turn them into two-file scripts, or have a readme, or just let it fail because supporting every single version of Python is insane.

The point is obviously to let if fail, but clearly explain why it fails. This is obviously not meant for software distributed to users that are proficient in Python.

I guess it's useful for the kind of scripts you write and post in pastebin, or share on a web forum or whatever. Think a wrapper script that downloads and patches Wine so that it can run a certain exe or whatever. These users have never heard of pip, and you don't want to publish this stuff to pypi anyway. You just want to post it in a code block on forums.obscureindiegame.com so the three Linux users there can join the effin' game already!

Or so I would guess. Never felt a need for something similar myself.
> Statistical thinking and eugenicist thinking are, in fact, deeply intertwined, and many of the theoretical problems with methods like significance testing—first developed to identify racial differences—are remnants of their original purpose, to support eugenics.

This is in the fourth paragraph. This is clearly a hit piece against not just science but the very idea that truth can exist.
>And yet, they do. According to Ofcom, 5m calls are still made from phone boxes annually. Five million! It seems impossible.

>Thousands of people apparently still use them. I wanted to know who they were and why, when technology had long ago surpassed what a phone box could offer

>On Oxford Street, I passed a tourist shop whose window display included a shelf of miniature red phone boxes

>Martin White, owner of a company, X2 Connect, which repairs and resells old phone boxes that BT has removed ...They get plenty of overseas buyers, too, who want their own bit of British kitsch. White had recently shipped one off to a shopping mall in Dubai.

I suspect that the second two quotes go some way to explaining the first two. I'd imagine a significant amount of those 5 million calls are made by tourists, for the experience of ringing someone from an iconic red telephone box.
This is well written.

There list should be longer.
>If that is going poorly, more communication is required.

No, you need better communication. Start decoupling "more" from "better". That's the crux of the matter, people trying to bruteforce communication issues by adding more communication.

Most people suck at communication. Including 99% of the people applauding themselves or each other for "great communication". We're not solving these issues layering more communication, that's how orgs die under their own weight. What they need is better strategies and to stop boggling down ICs with redundant bureaucracy, as sibling points out.
Google does not. In many ways, non-repudiation property of emails is a boon. We do not hear much about it, but I bet that many thousands of legal disputes are settled once people realize that their emails can be verified via DKIM signatures.

The fact that it allows to verify the authenticity of leaked emails is only a small and not necessarily negative side-effect.
"The adoption of 3rd party libraries like numpy, which are so critical to modern Python, also destroyed the community's "batteries included" philosophy."

You are right and your FreeBSD vs Linux analogy really hits the target.

Thanks to the advancement of hardare and the development of libraries like Numpy, Python has moved from it's scripting niche and became a global, general purpose language.

Was that an error? If we look at the "batteries included" philosophy and the poor state of Python's package management after all these years...I'd say yes.
I share the same feeling. Using sysresccd [1] for it. One anecdote I remember from around 2010; sysresccd starts mdadm, scans all block devices and tries to automatically start md devices. This behaviour shocked me while booting a passive storage server which was connected to a JBOD enclosure. The active server already had the devices started and mounted (was lustre at that time). I was lucky, no data was corrupted ... pfew

Anyways, do you also know about systesccd and could you share differenced between those?

> we see that "depletion of mineral resources" is #53. So why #53 as opposed to #191, or #67, or #3?

I think the list is on alphabetic order.

Regardless of the reasons above the real problem is that we are putting all the eggs on one basket. When we listen to Elon Musk saying we need to be an interplanetary society we think "the guy is right", but we have difficulties on accepting that having a single global economy is dangerous.

Resilience is the new buzz word but anti-fragility is what we should strive for. Nassin Tabel give Switzerland as an example. Again you see the pattern, instead of one big and fragile system you have 26 cantons with some degree of independence.

This reminds me of a very interesting comment on the engineering and management practices at Intel [1]: "I often called Intel an 'ant hill', because the engineers would swarm a project just like ants do a meal."

I've seen it happen at smaller scales, great engineers in flat hierarchies without direction might not be the best idea from a business perspective...

That is like saying "if your program is performing poorly, more code is required".
Since everybody talks about the format for figures, I feel the need to mention the .fig format [0] that was made exactly for that use case (human-editable textual description of simple line figures). It is also the native file format of the venerable Xfig figure editor [1].

Not sure if it's a fair analogy.

A construction manager doesn't use hammers.

The degree to which software is solving problems, your analogy is valid.

The degree to which it's mechanical, I have a point.

I'm managing a team right now that's making a simple mobile app. 100% off-the-shelf everything. There is not a single 'algorithm'.

Flutter and Django by the book.

With Django, the whole thing is a giant 'convention' - it's like, there is no 'code'. Just 'templates'.

I can't communicate how much confidence this gives me.

In the areas where the team has to make decisions ... that's where all the problems are.

So for most of our activities, we design features, work out the UI, give it to the designer, review, and hand it off to the devs to actually 'do'. The code is mundane.

This kind of scenario is quite common in software, perhaps more common than not.

I think you are vastly underestimating the mess Microsoft changes to UI has made on their product lines. I was MCSE certified at one point in time, now I can’t even find the control panel nor does it have the options I knew about, not to mention the registry…

Microsoft consistently shoots themselves and their customers in the legs in desperate efforts to ape the young cool kid hipster companies.

I think the real question is: how long can a company trust a sinking ship, that, while it still has plenty of money, is bent on destroying everything they built so far?

Abandon ship! The captains have gone mad.
https://opentimestamps.org/ use the same idea (using a merkle tree to make it cheap per document) with the bitcoin.
I think the main difference is that macros statically evaluate their inputs ie. at compile-time. fexprs can selectively eval their inputs at runtime ie. dynamically.

This has given the impression of slowness and difficulty to grok with fexprs, as dynamic eval foregoes certain optimisations, and scoping the fexpr bindings is hard (variable capture is a problem).

https://web.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-090110-124904/unr... is a good paper on this stuff (see p41/42 for a discussion).

Another version of fexprs/vau is open composition https://www.piumarta.com/freeco11/freeco11-piumarta-oecm.pdf

I guess the main issue is handling dynamic binding cleanly. Koka https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/book.html#why-handlers handles this well with static (HM) type inferrence.

Shen and Maude (https://shenlanguage.org/TBOS/tbos_255.html, https://maude.lcc.uma.es/maude321-manual-html/maude-manual.h...) are the only languages that I know that can do dynamic type checking, and thus a full handling of dynamic binding, the Shen calculus syntax is a bit clunky though.
A few years ago, I created Markdown Notes with the same goal in mind. Markdown with LaTeX formulas and graphs was a powerful tool.

However I eventually left university and stopped using it. Then I started using paper and pen to great effect. I can draw in seconds what I can type in minutes. Now I use Notability on an iPad Mini. Same thing but with better editing tools.

Frankly, I just like pencil notes a lot more than text. It just works better for free form thinking. Immediate and short-term convenience is more important than having my notes in text files.
I am a firm believer in that having slack increases effeciency. Running at 100% makes every misstep a planning cathastrophy and leads to panic solutions witch cost more and wastes more time.

Easy to explain. The USSR was a simplex system, the Roman empire a complex system.

he mostly explained large vs small systems, and didn't really qualify complex systems, until the very end.

a better explanation would be military vs democratic systems, the military being the simplex one, with straight hierarchies. the democracy with various complex interlinks, feedback loops and control mechanisms. Military is like a company, need to grow fast, and dies fast. commands need to spread fast.

To be clear (as many people seem to think this is about money): this isn't about money. If we switched to LibreOffice we'd donate to the contributors and pay for support. This is about migrating tools before I have double the number of people to migrate.

Why do I want to look at LO?

- GSuite: it's just terrible, the entire suite misses basic functionality (custom styles, anyone?) and it only works online for me, and there are no files I can access. When Google went down for a day no-one could access a single document or presentation, which is just untenable.

- MS Office: better than GSuite, but the latter has better collaboration tools IMO. I like Office just fine, but it's not OpenSource, and I'm on Linux which means there are no offline apps I can use.

- LibreOffice: it's open-source, with an open document format. If we don't start using (and paying for) open-source projects as business they'll never become sufficiently competitive, and I prefer an open ecosystem to a closed one.
This comes down to having distinct synchronous and asynchronous communication platforms. Back in the day you has email for async and aol/msn/icq for sync. On top of that they were only on your computer, and most people had desktops, you had to physically be at your computer to use them. The joy of sitting there chatting away with friends while doing homework or playing games was brilliant.

On top of that, if you weren’t online in a group chat as it was happening, you missed it, there was no catching up.

Text messaging sat in a middle ground, but because it cost money for each message (10p in the UK) it was self limiting. You couldn’t afford to have whole conversations via text.

Bring back synchronous only messaging, and even better make it only work on a computer, not on mobile! I would love that.

(I suspect the issue is so many kids now only have smartphones and tablets)
A subset of SVG with just basic lines and shapes is fairly simple, and in fact is very similar to what OP is doing. It's only when you go into colours, fonts, animations, and stuff like that stuff gets progressively more complex.

"Already in the time of Seneca, the first century CE, the problem of mine depletion may have been felt. By the third century CE, Roman mining production collapsed. At that point, gold started vanishing from the empire; most of the gold that was in circulation went to China to pay for luxury items, like silk. Eventually, no gold meant no money. No money meant the troops couldn’t be paid."

???

'Gold' is not 'money'. We just use it as such.

We can use anything.

If there is 'less gold' to go around, we can just value it in higher denominations, i.e. deflation.

Of course that can have practical problems, and an expanding economy, you generally want more 'currency' ...

... but you can just as easily say '1 ounce of Gold' is '1 plot of land' ... and then make it worth more.

Or use salt. Or silver. Or whatever.

And oddly, the Roman Empire took forever to really come undone.
