It's like a whole new language, the southerners struggle to understand us sometimes and think we're crazy.
Then why choose a "real programming language" anyways? Go with something like scratch, or something that uses symbols to program tiny machines, like half a dozen iOS games.

"Real" programming languages aren't suited for beginners because error messages are usually to cryptic and should contain hints how to solve the problem.
All these problems went away with using lxc, lost so much time with docker, which is definitely the wrong way to do it.

However it is funny to see a whole industry emerging around artificially created problems.
There's always been little things like that. For example, installing Feh pulls in libid3tag (which for whatever reason is a dependency of imlib2).

The model above actually doesn't directly contradict with the examples you gave...

You can easily create a seemingly dilemma case within the model -- for instance, use the independent creativity to create more common ground (much of which was not visible/observable before) between people, and hence make them more agreeable with each other.

But actually this is not a dilemma, as it is only crucial for the process to be independent, not the ending result -- especially when the goal of your independent creativity process is to make the ending result to be more correlated to some preconceptions.

I'm opposed to most CSS grid styles as I feel they trade accessibility for a faster production speed. This seems to have neither of those benefits.
It is exactly the point: the problem is real, but you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Instead you can use a simple, homoiconic, but still very "real" programming language for teaching.
Tha = thee, the familiar form of "you". "Only thee-thou's them as thee-thou's you": family and close friends only. This is dying out. I recall my Yorkshire grandmother using it, but only intermittently.

wain't = won't
nar = now

These are both on the other side of a vowel shift.

Nowt = nothing. This is a bit of dialect that's still alive, partly due to its use in the TV advertising slogan "Bread wi' Nowt Taken Out".

TV and the class system have long worked against UK regional accents and dialect.

Your criticisms of a carbon tax seem to apply directly to cap-and-trade if the incorrect amount is chosen. Later governments can change the cap upwards or accelerate it's downward descent too, and may well need to if the science changes or other governments do nothing.

And if you want to hand billions in tax credits to current carbon polluters so they don't fight the tax, you can do that with a carbon tax too. I'd actually recommend doing this for ordinary people, so that you don't hurt people with current high-carbon lifestyles too much, but still offer an incentive to save carbon/money, possibly a phase in would be required as is generally proposed for cap and trade.

I'm also wondering how a carbon cap and trade system could be effective and yet not result in a raise in gas prices in the US? That's surely the whole point?
Brilliant. But completely incomprehensible to almost everyone.
There's scientific evidence that meditation improves memory, cognition, grey matter, concentration, and so on.

The same is not true for surfing or generally relaxing. Just because people feel like there are similarities between experiences on psychedelics and meditation does not mean that they have equal outcomes.
When you start playing around with docker and come to the area where you start to see that many things that should be very easy start to be really complicated, then you should take a look at lxc and the upcoming lxd and compare.
> No, because he already knows English.

My english was pretty much nonexistent until I picked up programming.

Like I said below, nobody is arguing against beginner languages/tools like scratch and logo that could essentially be programmed in emoji, for what it's worth.

But people are arguing against "real" programming languages being translated, because that's a waste of everyones time.

Except it doesn't. Vipassana courses are barely advertised, people come of their own volition, and participate for free. People are asked to try their method for ten days, not to change their lives without wanting to.

If they did advertise, they'd have scientific evidence that there are benefits from their methods. However, they don't use that, because meditation is not about proven benefits to them. It's about living a more compassionate and harmonious life.

Hardly a scam of any kind. I don't know why anyone would attempt to discredit it.

Well it's not as easy as some of the posts here suggest, like all you need from English is "if", "for", "while" and little more. Don't forget about the libraries coming with each language. You'll also have to map "memcpy" to "memory" and "copy" and know those words, or understand what a "TreeViewItemCollection" is for, just to give two examples out of tens of thousands.

Said that, I think trying to localize programming just isn't going to work. If you want to program, you'd better get along with the English language.

This may sound too simple, but if you wanna make the big bucks as a well paid consultant, learn how to be a consultant. The simplest option might be joining a successful consulting company, and learn to play the game they play. You can also get your own clients and work your way up.

Just push yourself to figure out what you don't know, and then go after it. Finding one or more mentors can be pretty strong, too.

This is BS. I am using debian since many years and apt-get dist-upgrade never blows up anything.

Debian is one of the distros I use for long term installations because it is the only distro that gets release upgrades right, it is no problem using the same installation for several years and jump across several releases. Of course you should read the release notes, but what you are saying is the opposite of my real life experience. Of course it is also very easy to just reinstall.

Writing "every dist-upgrade blows something up" is an indication that you must be doing something very wrong with that computer in front of you. Please provide some bug reports.
>But the layout, the major composition, is thought (typically) out of a grid system. And that's what, I believe, a designer focus on. Not on individual element rules, but on the whole.

That might be true for print designers of yore, but we've moved beyond that in the last 10 years or so.

Designers today know that it's not about some static composition on top of some grid. And they also know that individual elements are important (e.g. how a callout or a profile pic responds to a page resize).

Heck, it's the same designers that had to suffer using floats for layout (and if there was ever a "engineering driven idea" and at odds with grids it was that). Compared to that constraints is designer heaven!

It's constraints-based CSS. Of course it's going to look different to CSS/LESS/SASS. It's solving the problem of layout positioning a different way.

Grow up.
Scientific research has shown that modification of behaviour and perceptions can be achieved without surgical or pharmaceutical intervention. This goes by the name of psychotherapy. In particular, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to work in randomized controlled trials [1].

As such therapies involve only guiding and helping people to think differently, it demonstrates that such guidance has have scientifically measurable effects on the mind and body.

It follows from the above that the likelihood that practices such as meditation could have non-zero effects is high. Whether Vipassana itself does so could therefore be tested in the same manner as CBT was, and perhaps that is what should be done...

You're citing from one meta study out of plenty. Also, it's ten years old. Many things have happened since then, especially things to address those weaknesses – MBSR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness-based_stress_reduct...) has been developed further, and is a method of meditation that is in part designed so that you can do science on it.

Looking at a 2013 report (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23796855), results are quite different. Or this interview (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05/...) showing potential physical changes in the brain.

Furthermore, meditation isn't about objective health gains to many people. It's about living in a different way, in a different state.

That's only because we're exploiting other living species, which are much less able to defend themselves than we are.

A society should be judged by how it treats its weakest members, and if you ask me, that's the battery hens and mass-farmed pigs in their crowded "flats". The atrociously low price of meat is actually not at all a mark of civilisation, but rather of barbarism towards animals. Animals which, might i add, consistently turn out to be more intelligent that we originally thought.

Everybody should read Eating Animals by J.S. Foer, it's surprisingly level-headed and non-ranty, but even so, it's hard to ignore what goes on in the food industry.

But if the source is mutable data, what isn't? Everything eventually mutates - dependencies have updates, configurations change, etc. Isn't the point of images that you "freeze" a static release that can be deployed everywhere?

It seems that by that point you've lost the advantage of using images; if parts of the system must be loaded outside of the container, it seems you might as well simply use a configuration manager to install the stuff and then run LXC/LXD containers instead of using images at all.
The idea that the old thou/you distinction is finally dying out for good at the start of the 21st century genuinely upsets me.

This is such a dismissive attitude. What Feynman is talking about is putting something artificial in your body with potentially adverse side effects. This has very little to do with sitting still in a room and watching your breathing. This is something people have done for thousands of years, and it consists "only" of sitting.

Going on a surf vacation for 10 days isn't going to have nearly as big of an impact as something like this in this dimension. You may a get a lot better at surfing really quickly, and meet some friends. Which is great!

If you don't think meditation is for your, fine, don't do it. But don't downplay people's experience by imposing your own limited world view on it.

EDIT: My intention is not be dismissive of surfing as an activity. I would be surprised though if OP went on a 10 day surfing retreat and wrote a similar article to the one we are reading now.

I emphasise your situation - being alone and creative can exacerbate being alone and creative. Being with a social group makes us worry we'll lose our individuality. I'll offer some tips.

People relate to those they perceive as similar. When you meet someone, there's two stages to making friends. 1. Attraction, demonstrating you are valuable, which is easy for you thanks to your business success, and 2. Rapport, where you must show the other person you're similar and am OK with making yourself vulnerable to them, and in trusting them, you earn their trust. I think you're OK with 1, not OK with 2. Tell stories, being completely emotionally honest, and in ways where you show, at times, you're just like they are. In the rapport stage where you're trading stories, use the word "we", avoid "you". "We" can make someone think you're already together, "I" can be used as an attempt to bring others to emphasise your situation, while "you" makes the other person compare differences with yourself. "You" can be useful for the attraction stage, but I don't find it useful for the "Rapport" stage. And make sure to listen, and synchronise your emotions with them - if they're happy be happy, if they're upset about something, be concerned.

If you're looking to find a romantic partner there's one more stage but I'll leave that up to you.
> I find that perspective strange. Machinery does not particularly care what end it's put to.

Well it's a human activity like anything else. The technology itself might not be "political" [though that's debatable], but the attitudes and views of the practitioners will colour everything surrounding it. And Klabnik has shown that he has a big enough personality to impact the communities that he chooses to involve himself with, for better or for worse.
Let's say you've got a light-emitting flat surface and want to describe its power output. I recommend modeling it as a set of real coordinates with an intensity value at each point and integrating to compute the total power output. By all means I invite you to come up with a better model, without using uncountable sets, for which there isn't a straightforward analogue, just as good, that uses uncountable sets.

Edit: Might as well jump straight to explaining how wave functions work without using uncountable sets, and why that's a better description of reality.
Exactly. The difference is, this becomes the default behavior (minus the spinner), and simple to implement.

Moved beyond grid systems? I can't agree with that.

Also, I don't really see the connection you're implying between using a grid and having a static composition or not considering individual elements behaviour. I do compose out of a grid system; the best designers (or the real designers) I worked with do the same. And that doesn't mean that we won't specify how the profile pic responds to resize - we do. It's just that it is a detail. It's not layout, it's not the composition. The specification of such details should not be the basis for your layout implementation framework.
This is the argument I make when faced with the idea that people are 'okay' being spied on, as if it somehow justifies what the NSA is doing.

I have never done a Vipassana retreat, but I've played around with that style of meditation with good results. To me this is one of the most admirable aspects of it - so many of these so called "spiritual" (a misguided umbrella term) retreats/courses functions more as a way for the founder to get rich than to do something good. See the founder of Bikram yoga.
Actually - learning to draw, one of first thing to learn is proportions.

Distance between eyes is equal to one additional eye; nose lies on a line that connects it to bottom of the ear; mouth are about halfway between chin and nose; body is about seven heads tall, etc.

I'd say constraint solving is pretty much in line with that kind of thinking.

It's not strictly what I mean, but in practice there's a close correlation; homoiconic languages naturally lend themselves to metaprogramming and so it's more normal to implement e.g. control flow as ordinary functions in the language (where they might be dedicated syntax in other languages). But yes, I really mean a low-syntax language, and they're not all homoiconic.
