But as educational tooling is that not a fault in itself? Surely we should be preparing students to at least use some mainstream languages, rather than pouring their skills and time into something that has a niche market value?

I feel as if I am missing something here, some previous reading that would make this clearer? I do not understand how the code snippet he provides is "lyrical". Any more stuff I could read on this sort of topic?

Extended reading on this? I found myself chuckling at the absurdity of this at first, and then kept reading finding out that this is actually quite a good idea. What topics would this come under? General compiler architecture?

I could similarly say only a person with a treatable illness who can afford said for-profit drugs thinks this way. 'profit-seeking is more effective and expedient' for the people that can afford it...

My main issue here would be the fact the data is being sold to a private pharma company. The 'help' you are talking about might come at a huge cost, this simply helps them develop ever more expensive drugs because they are the onl

Admittedly I am a bit of an idiot here, I didn't see the fact the person was using Firefox, the way I described it is how it is done on Chromium browsers but I cannot find a way to do it natively in Firefox (aside from downloading the

Unsure why the images don't load, better than nothing I suppose?

Really nice tip: Click the little keylock on the left side of the address bar when on medium, go into site settings, under javascript block it and medium articles will now load as just pure easy to read text :)

I believe registering also provides a non-google way of tracking subscriptions :)

Not to pry but I would love to see an image of the belt with all of these items contained inside. Is it not utterly uncomfortable to walk around with all this equipment on your waist?

Oh oh! Another chance to ask this: What do you use _instead_ of pulseaudio? I have asked this so many times and never got a clear answer. How do I manage my audio without PA? Where can I find articles on this? I have never had a _real_ prob

Issues like these are the reason we can thrive as a community. Not playing a blame-game and offering direct feedback to a wonderful open source project. Trying to get my own company to get more involved in feedback to the open source tools

Personally I think this is a pessimistic point of view. The reason we think we can "solve" these issues is because we have been doing a good job of using tools to help us along the way of human history. If we do as you propose, wh

I agree with this very much, I already handle my phone with care in terms of making sure it isn't grabbing my attention. Having to sift through 4+ messaging apps to find conversations here and there would be a nightmare. I already have

I have been moving very much to texts. The fear usually is, though, that someone might have to pay to contact me which is not ideal. Such a shame XMPP isn't foolproof for calls

Interesting! I might want to try and preach some app to my friends to get them all to go in to. Thanks for the anecdote!

My pessimistic side is really just thinking Yet Another Instant Messaging Service. I never understood what the benefit here was, you'll never convert the majority of your friends/connections to use these niche messaging services a

Never really understood the alternative to PA. Personally have used Debian my whole linux life, I install PA and everything just works. A few weeks ago I was reinstalling Debian and decided to search for alternatives to PA (because of these

Ah my bad, somehow I omitted the fact they said London is the only city! Yeah that is a little weird, plenty more to the UK than just London :)

Not sure I understand... you're gonna call bollocks on the idea that someone can have different likes and dislikes from you?

I was slightly confused at first due to the simplified map svgs on the right hand side thinking: "is this all that it generates?" Looking at your gallery had me very impressed, this is a very cool project and I hope that you get m

A funny thought: If you expected a theory to be interesting but it reaffirmed your assumptions would it not be interesting? :p

Seems like a move in the right direction but are there any exceptions to this rule? Surely there are some dolphins being kept in captivity for good reasons (health, conservation programmes), if such is not the case I don't see much of

Wholeheartedly agreed! We always need to look at stuff from both angles and I forgot just how complicated adding new features can be (even if they are 'simple' changes, Chaos theory comes into mind.)

This is a very good point, personally I do not like dark mode (but have used it for many years as a developer, before swapping back). But the OPTION for a user to display a page in dark mode is absolutely not a 'dark side'. Option

Could you recommend some audio-drama? I'd love to listen to something like that!

I actually meant reading a book on the phone :) As in: "The two hours someone spends on a phone could be reading books, is that so bad?" Not quite sure why some would see reading on a phone as lesser, maybe because its tied to the

Gave me a right laugh, not my train of thought but I can see why someone might want to just clock in/out and get on with their lives.
