The hypocrisy is not because they are limiting access to their kids.

It is because they are limiting access to their kids, while actively creating and executing algorithms to increase user engagement even to the point of making people addictive and dependent on their platforms.

Is there a path (short of going through a Physics undergrad curriculum itself) to enjoy and get more 'return' from Feynman for someone without formal Physics background? Any recommendations of books to read prior to undertaking Feynman?

I hope you aren't using the "everybody does it" argument to normalize, or worse, justify this stupidity.

That every country has its share of people who engage in such backward-looking, glorifying-the-past behavior does not make it right.

Do you, by any chance, mean to say "gait" analysis, instead of "gate" analysis?

If not, can you please explain what "gate analysis" is?

Normal error message in Perl:

    $ perl -Mstrict -e 'say $x'
    Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $x"?) at -e line 1.
    Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

With the addition of `Coy` module [1]:

    $ perl -Mstrict -MCoy -e 'say $x'

You forgot to add:

Every (most?) special variable has a non-cryptic alias, if only one were disciplined enough to choose to use the alternative.

> Is it not possible that the low-hanging fruit had been found earlier, in the 1970s-1990s, and the problem got harder?

The problem of "problems getting harder" is a continuous phenomenon. Why would that be the case suddenly after 2000, and not before?

> However, I'm a bit puzzled by the weird direction the journalist ran with this, which is straight to his preconceived notions that are not that supported by the data he's looking at.

Is it possible that your own preconceived notions about the author and the publication may have caused you to judge this way?

In any case, don't trust every comment posted on Hacker News (including my own) :)

No need for a separate preprocessor. org-mode offers org-babel which enables you to practice "literate programming" to create your init file, where you interleave text and code.

Here's are couple of examples: https://github.com/howardabrams/dot-files/blob/master/emacs....

The only thing to know is to press 'q' to quit the help window and get back to where you were.
