There are no stressful jobs, there are only stressful people. Name me one job that is stressful for every single human being who ever lived on this planet. Or name a job that is never stressful for anyone. You can spend whole life trying to

That is not true, if you are forced to do a job that you have no interest for of course you will feel unhappy. Now being forced means on many levels, today in most developed countries you can survive even with basic jobs but you want to hav

You just mixed up everything as did people in the article. Happiness is one thing, freedom of choice is another thing, comfort is a third thing, satisfaction is a fourth thing. These are all completely different things. Its rather simple to

How is `if` related with creating a new line? And how does new line make something 2D? If code was 2D you could write code anywhere in your document without juggling around spaces and newlines

I think you are limiting visual programming to some sort of a single graph that has everything together, but similar to how we split code into modules and files, visual systems can do the same, here's an example I keep showing in this

Why do you think it doesn't scale?

Nah, code is 1D with line breaks for visual comfort

by mapcars 2y ago
That is not a problem, and for sure not a fundamental one. The textual representation is very limited, it's actually 1D with a line breaks helping us read it. 2D gives a lot more possibilities of organising code similar to how we draw

There are production-level visual programming systems, Mendix is one of them, I have a friend who works on a industrial system fully built in Mendix with just a small amount of custom java code, but processes, data handling, UI all is made

Zed is version 0.1-something, you can't expect them realistically have their own maintained packages at this stage. And these things do happen when you use software at the early stages, just wait for 1.0 and see what happens then.

One of the biggest modern day spiritual gurus says that dreaming is just a fluctuation of mind activity during sleep, we can enjoy it but it has no significance in terms of spiritual development.

Let me try to expand what I mean, because it's not a simple topic of course. As you pointed correctly, the focus is mainly on the comfort level. For people who are in economically low, criminal countries or war situations it's a m
