Re:The future of UI is text on Sunday October 11, 2015 @02:26PM (#10370336)
Except the text to tweet is not the subject, but rather the object. And English is VO, just like the command line. The suggestion is that we use Japanese's OV order.
Having been to the BM, I can't help but think this is pretty accurate. Still an experience worth paying for, though. In fact, for a student like myself, it might have turned out cheaper than the computer I'm typing this onto.

All of the people that disagree with this article forget to disagree with its author's prediction that once fossil fuels and other still plentyful but possibly not forever plentyful resources (water and fertile soil, for instance) are over, the internet is going to become a burden too heavy to continue to be lifted in face of more pressing issues, like eating. But I do agree that before that happens, thought I think it'll happen in our lifespans, the internet has no reason to go away, except for all of those free subsidized services. (Paid) email will probably still be around for a while.

I use tmux because in it vim can be set to show in italics what should be shown in italics.
