As in Guys and Dolls. Isn't it a 50s american slang thing?

Don't markdown files already have a MIME type of text/plain? Isn't that the point of markdown?

Interesting, as hardware-wise that is the closest to a non-apple air that I can find.

Does anyone have any links to someone running Linux on a razor blade stealth as their daily driver?

Interesting! Thanks for the tip

Agreed. I was expecting a low-fi example to point a dnpipe e.g.

$ mkdnpipe /tmp/a.fifo 192.168.1.10:123

With the target host running a dnpipe daemon.

As of this law, you are already on that list

"..today we spend way too much time on accidental complexity than on essential complexity"

This. So much this!

Anyone one know what type of tree diagrams these are? I'd love to generate a file system directory structure in that style of tree diagram

So you think Hillary was fired with prejudice from the WIC, even though there is no evidence that this statement is true, you are willing to accept it as gospel and further, bind that into strengthen your opinion of her?

Is that not the textbook definition of bias?

And as I further gather, your response to this is "I don't care", as in "I don't care that I am biased"; not that "I acknowledge my biases as a weakness in my rational thought processes".

Do you see bias as a strength? Do you believe that adjusting your mental model of the world to adapt to new information as a hindrance? Have I mistaken your point?

(Please please please do not mistake my questions as judgements; I genuinely am interested in your opinion and argument!)

For all its quirks (and there were LOADS) I do still miss it. Any recommendations of something thats quick to prototype games with?

Again, apologies for not grasping your point directly, but I'm not quite following you.

Are you saying you dismiss Snopes as being left-biased, therefore the matter over whether "Hillary Clinton was fired with prejudice" is still not resolved?

And until Hillary Clinton (or presumably the WIC) come out and directly either confirm or deny that statement, then repeating the statement is "fair game"?

But doesn't that put the onus on the subject to confirm or deny every single tinpot, falsehood statement out there, otherwise its safe to consider it the truth?

Is it similar to the example you gave of being called a racist and responding with "We don't care"? Should Hillary Clinton respond to the statement with "I don't care if you think I was fired with prejudice from the WIC"? Is that what you are saying? How would that stop the "mistruth" from being repeated?

(apologies, I'm from the UK so this isn't a line of thought I've come across)

Edit: Bit of rewording for clarity

I'm confused... isn't saying "Hillary was fired with extreme prejudice from the WIC" a political issue? You're trying to make a political point by using a mistruth as evidence of the fact?

Could you explain a bit clearer?

In my circle of friends I've seen that the spectre of Nu-Labour, the very centrist version of Labour (often referred to as Diet-Tory) was responsible for the Iraq war. I know people that would rather back a Corbyn and his Old-School Labour, even if that means that Labour is less electable, as long as it means that their principles are intact.

Not saying I agree with that at all but thats what I see in a large circle of leftist, northern middle-age/class people.

That's really cool! Like it a lot!

To this day, I sometimes come across images of the Courier, and day-dream about what was possible the ideal portable for me. I loved everything about the potential of that project.

Still do.

In the states maybe but in the rest of the entire freakin world, thats how we paid for phones.

Stop funding and meddling with them?

Agreed, if there is one thing that Apple are absolutely appalling at its power supplies. The amount of power supplies I've bought over the years, at £60 a pop is about 7, for two laptops over 7 years! And they ALL fail in the same way, with the either mag safe end fraying and sparking! or the cable cracking and exposing wires at the power block end (because of the stupid design decision to force a right angle bend when wrapping the cable around the pop-out cable hooks...)

Man, I used to love this on the Amiga 1200. In fact, I've just bought the iOS version because you mentioned it :)

"If everything that is text was just black you would loose the hierarchy"

Nonsense. Type weights exist for this, as does size, grouping, placement etc.

Typography IS hierarchy.

Isn't that chroot jails?

Very much this! I'm getting very used to tools as an implementation of policy! Feel very spoiled!

That's a really interesting approach, thanks for posting

Hats off, this is a GREAT post! Lots of detail and I'm way out of my depth but lots to dig into and learn from!

Thanks for posting!

Isn't Electron the very definition of "Picking your technology stack based on what you prefer working with" rather than "what works best for the application you're building"?

It's more minimalism in the architectural sense.

Thats the entire purpose of minimalism.

Exactly. It is my understanding that minimalism is an effort to blend into the background, to become a blank slate, so that our own personalities, tastes etc can live in the foreground. It's an effort to not share the stage with you, the owner.

All those other examples the author shows are SCREAMING for attention. They demand the limelight. and like all things that scream for attention, soon they will get none.

And on top of that, items like that have to have SOME aesthetic, which means they become fashionable, which means they have a "shelf life" of acceptability. No one wants to be seen dead with one of those god-awful matrix phones, yet an iPhone 4 still looks relevant today...
