@johnww2 lol. ^_^

the web UI designers, now called UX, are idiots to the extreme. Every few years, they have new thing, then it cycles and dies out.

i've read a lot about "responsive web design". Sure, a code-saving method for UI is nice. But the very first problem is the jargon, which spread unthinking and cult-like mindset.

the other big thing from UI designer idiots, is gray on white.

Web Design: Grey Text on White Background?

@black6 Chris @ChrisWilson said the same thing.

though, am not too sure about this. e.g. if i have incandescent bulb with its soft light, and a LED bulb with daylight. Then, we look at an apple or banana, and test accuracy of color perception, in comparison to sun light. I'm not sure, that the incandescent bulb would do better.

@orbifx thanks for catching the typo!

i've been trying to understand this ontology of programing lang elements. Hard. I think one need to have good understanding of theory of computability first.

@jeremiah yes, indeed.

for example, disney have movies about redskin poncahontas, chinese mulan, islamic alladin, but the cultures depicted is all skin deep, with exotic clothing and slanted eyes. The values depicted, is pure American. American humor, American romance, American justice, and a dog.

note that, using minority in photo/movie, do no help to those people. These type of conduct is exactly what American consider “muliculturalism”. i.e. put on a colorful hat, and we respect it as other culture, but the values, must stay pure American. And today, pure sjw.

so, the rich and well-shoed sjw can say, l@@k! we love all diff cultures, look at all our movies. But in fact, they held their sjw values to the core, and won't allow you to say anything in any way.

the Apple fuck, is pushing for these kinda diversity pics and vids.

Note, since Apple begin, it sells non-traditional values. remember that 1984 commercial? But back then, apple wasn't sjw, just maverick. But since about i think 2010, it turned into heavy sjw.

@AdamAtSea interesting.

i stay indoors almost all the time. was using a daylight flourecent bulb. (just bright white. Before i looked up this today)

but few months ago got led bulbs, and they are soft white. and i find that i felt sick...

so last week got a daylight colored led bulb.

but i think the sleeping cycle thing is good point. After dark, i'll just use the soft white lamps.

and here's daylight colored LED light bulbs

16 for $32. actually great deal. Buying 1 costs $8.

here's a table of light temperature

light bulb temperature. Mesaured in kevins.
Day light is 5500 K.
We get “soft white” because that's incandescent light bulbs do, we keep using that because we are used to. But i guess also because it makes you look better. lol.

funny, the full name of North Korea is THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA.
Democratic people, indeed.

@cow2001 the rust emacs?

i don't code rust myself. But i think it's great and important project.

it'd give us an alt to the gnu team, filled to the brim with problems.

it seems to me, lots programers in SF/NY area, are inclined to sjw, is actually because, most of them do not know. (eg some of my followers)

they've been fed propaganda from mainstream media. Most people, don't have time nor inclination to actually see news or dig.

they just sometimes hear mainstream news, and reinforced by fellow programers, and social media hole of their own.
