200 years ago, punk and metal didn't exist, so the possibility to have your wish to be punk denied is something specific to the era where punk exist as a concept. Am I on the right way here? What I mean is.. doesn't that imply that being transgender is not inherent in a person, but a personal wish that can only exist in a time when gender exist?
I agree. The only time a strong vision is a problem is if there are no options. But now, the people who don't want gnome can easily just use something else. I want the gnome devs to do their thing, and as long as I enjoy using gnome I will use it.
Going by the top Duck duck go results for "how many stars in our galaxy" and "how many trees in the world":
"According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars."
and
"There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world."
I agree that that is what it should be, but my experience has been that I've heard a lot of man=bad messages. Maybe it's the bubble I've been in, but it's hard for me to shake that off. I try to be a good person, but I don't know what it means to be a good man. Any personality trait that is good for a man to have, I also think is good for a woman to have, so it's not specifically a good man trait.
This reminds me of what David Foster Wallace wrote: "The next real literary "rebels" in this country might well emerge as some weird bunch of anti-rebels, born oglers who dare somehow to back away from ironic watching, who have the childish gall actually to endorse and instantiate single-entendre principles. Who treat of plain old untrendy human troubles and emotions in U.S. life with reverence and conviction. Who eschew self-consciousness and hip fatigue. These anti-rebels would be outdated, of course, before they even started. Dead on the page. Too sincere. Clearly repressed. Backward, quaint, naive, anachronistic. Maybe that'll be the point. Maybe that's why they'll be the next real rebels. Real rebels, as far as I can see, risk disapproval. The old postmodern insurgents risked the gasp and squeal: shock, disgust, outrage, censorship, accusations of socialism, anarchism, nihilism. Today's risks are different. The new rebels might be artists willing to risk the yawn, the rolled eyes, the cool smile, the nudged ribs, the parody of gifted ironists, the "Oh how banal". To risk accusations of sentimentality, melodrama. Of overcredulity. Of softness. Of willingness to be suckered by a world of lurkers and starers who fear gaze and ridicule above imprisonment without law. Who knows."
It is sort of an anachronism. I'm not saying that we don't need textual interfaces, but emulating a terminal from the 70's is not the only way. Plan9 had textual interfaces without the need for an emulated terminal.
Some evenings, when a piece of code I wrote compiles on the first try and it all seems so straightforward and simple, I feel blessed by the Spirit of the Machine.
One time I had a dream in which OpenBSD had the same level of polish and user friendliness as Fedora or Mint, and were experimenting with some plan9 features. When I woke up and realized it wasn't true, I was genuinely sad for a while.
In these corporate times we can stay free, share the code, and help our neighbors. Together we can share the joyous spirit of friendship, hacking, and arguing endlessly over which distro is best. In conclusion, Linux provides us with many good things, and should be celebrated.
In Phaedrus, Socrates talks about the invention of writing:
"it will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own. You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding; you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have come to know much while for the most part they will know nothing. And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so."
11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.
I'm interested in reading more about coding java without an IDE, what's your usual workflow? Do you use maven or gradle or something else? Are there solutions or scripts you use to make up for some functionality of an IDE?
