"I just want a large community of people who stick together, follow a common moral code, support each other, and have regular social events."

It's called Humanist - see if there's a community in your area. It has a common moral code based on the rejection of the supernatural and it's actually voted on every few years. I would define Humanism as pragmatic atheism which steals the best parts of religion - community, charity work, choirs, regular meetups etc.
I've never really understood how jails for people accused but not yet convicted are allowed to be horrible places. They should be required to be similar to the accommodations provided to jurors who are sequestered, with the necessary allowances for the fact that the people are in fact prisoners and some may need to be kept isolated for the safety of the other prisoners.
Version control for graphical objects is rare in the open source world, but it exists in the commercial world. Autodesk Drawing Compare, which is part of Autodesk Vault, is an example. For film and game work, there's Alienbrain. A game has many non-text assets - maps, motion capture data, 3D models - and they all get revised. The systems which can pull all that together can display, and difference, many graphical formats.
how communism is presented and held en mass today seems to be as a bunch of people hating richness. how libertarianism is presented and held en mass seems to be people that hate non-trivial social demands that are created by any central authority. neither represent the actual theories or meaning behind communism or libertarianism.

if one assumes a purist theory of communism (something more akin to unionism) and an impure version of libertarianism (something closer to market neo-liberalism) -- then the article rings out. In any other combination the point of the article becomes debatable.

while I understanding that both communist and libertarian theories were about a lot more than being a grumpy white man, attempts to closely tie modern era decentralization movements to these nearly antiquated theories feels at many times to be a thing white men do to justify their grumpiness. The article didn't go there (it carefully only uses the word "communistically") but much of the discussion on the article does.
It can also be argued the other way, of course. Do you like eating vegetables or ice cream? It's like garbage collection, some people love it because it frees them from worrying about allocating and freeing memory. Others hate it for the same reason.

Debian can be configured to be quite tidy, and apt less suicidal, but it requires far more effort than on Arch.

However, once set up, you can slap unattended-upgrades on top and have a (usually…) self-updating and self-maintaining system, which is quite neat.
You need to make yourself more vulnerable. You're not relateable to most people because 1) they're slightly intimidated by you: you've accomplished something that they've only ever dreamt of. And 2) you're not on their radar: they don't see you at work during the day, happy hour after work, or the football game on the weekends. Why? Well because you're working obviously.

Share your challenges and be completely open and transparent. Use social media to stay relevant and on people's radar. Show people you're just as human as they are.

I'm on the same boat. Achieved financial independence in college. Experienced the highs of having a ton of friends in university and my first job to the lows of not being able to make any good friends as an independent worker.

This seems to be working for me.

The "not talking" part is basically just there to help you stick to the code of discipline [1] which is:

1. to abstain from killing any being;
2. to abstain from stealing;
3. to abstain from all sexual activity;
4. to abstain from telling lies;
5. to abstain from all intoxicants.

With "not talking" you automatically follow number 4 :)

Not to get off track, but the book looks at Francis Bacon the 20th century painter, not the 16th century philosopher. I once had a confusing conversation with a room full of artists before I realized that we had no idea who the "other" Francis Bacon was.

I wanted to add that there are several forms/types of Vipassana and several different types of centers that conduct retreats. Many people get confused and think that there is only one type of Vipassana.

The Insight Meditation Society (IMS) is located near Boston and is the most extensive center in the US.

“IMS offers Buddhist meditation retreats at two facilities – the Retreat Center and The Forest Refuge – in rural central Massachusetts. The Retreat Center is one of the two IMS centers in the United States. However, all Buddhist centers teach vipassana/vispashyana.
It offers a full yearly schedule of more than 25 meditation courses, ranging in duration from a weekend to three months. Most retreats run for 7–9 days.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insight_Meditation_Society

Insight Meditation Society (IMS) uses a sliding scale to charge for its retreats and I have found them to be my favorite center for going on a retreat.

Kids learn languages a lot better when they have a use case, so I'd argue that teaching them english at the same time as teaching them programming, is actually beneficial.

And let's face it, the vocabulary of programming languages is tiny.
Scientology and some Thelemic orgs use Vipassana and other meditative techniques to ensnare their students. The wonky experiences like out-of-body experiences are used to market the system. So it works, yet is still abused to capitalize on the spiritual progress of followers. It works, but so does a parlor trick works when your audience does not pay full attention. Your question: 'Does it cause harm to you if other people give it a try?' is a tricky one. A practice can be harmful to others without being harmful to you. Does it cause harm to you if other people try out heroin? Does that void a strong opinion on drug abuse? To people not, or slightly, familiar with Vipassana, such stories do read like someone smoked their first joint and its the cure for every ailment they can think of. Like born-again people talking about "seeing God and having Him save my life". Glad it helped and you are so enthusiastic, but you are still claiming salvation from an invisible man in the sky, aka: you sound like a Scientology ad. Especially when claiming medical benefits, caution is required.

Edit: I am not comparing meditation to heroin. I am showing that the question 'Does it cause harm to you if other people give it a try?' is a trick question, a debating technique. Answering 'no' does not invalidate the statement 'this reads like a scientology ad'. But even if I did compare meditation to heroin, so what? The article compared meditation to psychedelics.

Team Proto – Design Better with Faster Feedback from Sketches
If you were curious about learning the guitar, would you first purchase the best 10,000$ guitar you could find at your local shop? No; you'd find some cheap guitar to play on initially to see if you could actually make a habit out of practising the guitar. Now if it turned out that you didn't like it, you have minimized your financial losses.

Similarly, some people don't know English. Maybe they're curious about programming. Should they have to learn a whole new language first? Or be distracted by the fact that the foreign programming language they have to write is also written in a foreign natural language?

I'm not sure I even agree with your premise. It's a bit premature to worry about having to interact with code written by people that are just learning programming, isn't it? Like anything, when you empower people to learn things like this you have to trust them to have the decency to write programs in English in settings where there might be other people who don't speak their language that have to deal with their programs. Or trust that they wouldn't be hired for such jobs in the first place.

> I'm not native English speaker,

And? Does that give your argument more weight?
I cannot recommend this simple book enough.
I don't really see the point of adapting the programming language to the learner, which seems to be the smallest language hurdle, when they'll have to ask for help in english on forums, in IRC, or on SO, anyways.
There is approximately zero content here. Only a call to action to sign up for a program.

Designers almost always work in grid systems, not in collections of arbitrary measurements between screen elements. I suspect one of the reasons that Bootstrap has become so popular is that its grid system makes it fairly easy to implement the grid-based layouts that designers typically employ. Things like Bootstrap and flexbox make implementing grids easy. Constraint systems are at entirely too low a level of abstraction for this.
Fundamentally I think that the effort is flawed. Languages don't really map to each other on a word to word basis.

At school in France they introduced algorithms with a form of french pseudo-C which was very frustrating, because it felt stilted and unnatural.

Expressing the same algorithms in natural french would already be a much better exercise, because you don't have to force yourself through a fake translated language. Ultimately I think this would be a much better first approach to programming, (with more focus on design than implementation).

In the end if you really have to implement code, you will have to learn the english version anyway if you want access to documentation and outside help.

> I was a little irritated at the hubris of the guy and may have gone a little overboard.

Since you're asking, yeah, you went a little overboard.

The guy clearly didn't "expect" anything, he just made a simple request. He could have worded it a bit better, but it was reasonable enough - not something that deserved such a tongue-lashing.

> This is worse than the grid style sheets I was hating on. Much worse. They simply aren't semantic which was nit­picky whereas this is a literal crime against humanity ­namely accessibility.

Seriously, a literal crime against humanity? :-) I was impressed that Dan replied as cheerfully and graciously as he did.

Look, I've said nastier things to people myself - it can be so tempting - but it never worked out that well. It took me a long time to learn that it pays to try to get along.

It's great that you're passionate about technology, if you can temper that with keeping disagreements cheerful and sympathetic toward other situations and points of view.

One last thing... Dude! Did you get Dan's permission to publish his private emails to you? He seems like a level-headed guy and probably won't mind, but it's polite to ask first.
Scalability of the Great Cannon
XCode does it this way - constraints, but expressed graphically in Interface Builder. It's still a pain in the ass. I'd much rather work with Flexbox than figure out why my iOS layout isn't resizing properly. Even if you get your mental model right perfectly, there's still a large mouse-twitching problem with auto-layout in XCode where it's hard to select exactly which element you're lining up with.
I'm still looking back to my vipassana experience a few years ago. It's something I don't want to miss and it helped me focus again. Mindfulness is something beautiful.

Also something that I think is not quite clear from the article is that vipassana is not some kind of crazy cult. It's basically "just" a technique.
"κυβερνήτης" (kubernetes) is Greek for "pilot" or "helmsman of ship".
That introduces a noticeable delay. It's acceptable in some situations but in others less so. Having immediate feedback on button press or text entry makes the UX much more pleasant.
You are a minority. Perhaps not here (HN) because "I disable Javascript" seems to be a pretty trendy thing to say (:P), but in the world at large you are.

It's bad enough we have to build websites that work on IE8. We have to worry about screen readers and other accessibility problems, but we also have to worry about a fraction of users that disable a fundamental browser feature literally every site uses? Nah. It'll break and you can expect it to break! Sorry. :)
What exactly do you mean by pseudoscientific? The article was not really presenting a scientific claim. What we saw was a story about a person who did thing X, experienced thing Y, and is now describing his experience while thinking about what it might mean for someone else. Where does science come into the picture?

You sound like one of those annoying fellows who would dismiss the works of Dostoyevsky as pseudoscientific, or the music of Beethoven as hogwash. Get out of your limited perspective every once in a while and see that there exists a whole world out that that does not require classification in mathematical models to appreciate.
Do you still have them? I'm interested.

Hopefully Apple will follow last year by focusing on making iOS more open to 3rd party products. I know iOS Finder would be too much to ask for, but I will anyway. iOS Finder, please.

For OSX, I would love it if they just left it alone (features wise) and put the entirety of the next year into making it stable and responsive.

Every day I wish I could downgrade to OSX 10.9, but I need the latest xCode. Unlike most people who complain, I love the new UI, like the look, but hate the slow graphics. Pleas, Apple, stop with the features, finish fixing all the bugs!

Think third world. The kids in my village have a single computer without Internet. Sure they will need to learn English since almost the entire literature is in English, but they may yet taste the joy of programming first. It makes little sense for them to think in one language and write in another. But, I do see your point.
I was not wearing my glasses and I read that first sentence as "There are simple psychological reasons for having pants". But I suppose this statement is also true :)

Maybe Abu Ghraib was not a few bad apples but instead an insight on how prisons are run in the US.

In terms of software: more of Android/Win features being borrowed (e.f. split screen "multitasking"). Possibly better icons and GUI overall (but only if Ive realised that he should stick to hardware).
Yes, It looks like it has been fixed. I tried creating multiple VMS ( dev, staging ) a few times, and It worked properly. Thanks.

While you're technically correct, bear in mind that the central difficulty with microservices is managing dependencies.

The worst-case for dependencies across service boundaries in a system with n services is (n - 1)*n. If n is 3, you have a theoretical maximum of 6 direct dependencies. If n is 10, that number is 90.

Which is quite a big difference.
U.S. Tech Giants’ Hunt for Targets Leads to U.K. Prey
While I agree to the use case / tiny arguments, it doesn't seem to work in practice. I am now using Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) to teach programming. Much better.
I feel extremely strongly the same way. Normally I'd be with others ranting on how this sounds like hogwash, but honestly, the idea of it terrifies me. I'm too addicted to constantly having something to be anxious about.

It'd probably be difficult, but good for me.
Apple WWDC Schedule
> And? Does that give your argument more weight?
Yes because he is potentially one from the target audience of this.

If somebody isn't willing to put in the tiny bit of effort to learn the tiny bit of english required for programming, they're not willing to put in the huge amount of effort that is required to learn programming anyways.

We have enough horribly documented code that needs maintenance, there is no need to add horrible documentation in hundreds of languages.
Oh yes. Well, Debian is very nice too, but they have completely antagonic philosophies.

It's not a product show -- though they do showcase some products from time to time, they do so mostly for major new stuff (e.g. new iPhone model etc). And they usually don't show minor updates (e.g. laptop speed bumps etc).

What we'll certainly see is new iOS and OS X versions announced.

A new Apple TV might be shown (though there's rumors about delays with content deals etc). A new MacBook Pro not so much, especially since they were recently updated and they wait for Skylake.

Healthy food is cheaper.

If you accept that raw/unprocessed food is healthier than processed, and that vegetables are healthier than meat, then this must be true, because processing food requires

If this is not true in practice, it will be due to perverse taxes and subsidies.

Definitely after Thunderbolt 3 is out. It will be a big deal IMO (https://twitter.com/shurcooL/status/607351368387469312).
I think the discourse in this article is quite confusing.

The author starts and ends with saying that these are sheltered people who had no idea about what was in, or popular. Yet he describes a band that had been producing top-10 and 20 hits and partying with the Beatles for nearly a decade before their runaway success.
As much as I dislike using overly broad labels:

Liberals tend to favor equality of outcome while conservatives tend to favor equality of opportunity.

These kinds of diversity reports usually show that "white people are overrepresented" and "hispanic and black people are underrepresented". They usually do not mention that asians are GROSSLY overrepresented. It doesn't fit the agenda because, despite being the most successful ethnic group in the US in terms of income, they are not considered "powerful".
It's probably premature, but I'm hoping they will make good on this statement:

> When the binary interface stabilizes in a year or two, the Swift runtime will become part of the host OS and this limitation will no longer exist.
