Yeah, my first thought was "wow look at all these old white guys". If the pictures weren't right next to each other I'd probably have trouble telling any two of them apart.

"mail" is actually a fantastic interface to an email box assuming you don't receive very much mail. I still use it for things like sending myself an email notification when a long-running job is finished.

Maybe this wasn't the case back then, but with the mailx the comes with modern Linux distros you can attach files using the -a flag

I use org-mode, with links between files as necessary and some helper functions to quickly create new files in an organized manner with a single key combination. That particular set of org-mode files looks a lot like a wiki, and I can use the agenda view to quickly see all to-do items without having to necessarily hunt through all of the various files for them.

DanBC is right about the comments here on HN, but I was talking about the response from the "tech community" at large in my original comment anyway.

The guess-and-iterate method would still be more efficient than trying to work through a stats textbook if the author is not educated in mathematics, though. Anyway, a lot of people don't enjoy learning math (crazy as that concept may seem to me, and, I guess, you) but guessing-and-iterating on a game you're excited about would always be fun.

And, importantly, much of the backlash has been quite sexist. Ultimately that's a huge problem in the tech community - when a man does something inappropriate it's seen as evidence that he's an asshole, but when a woman does something inappropriate it's seen as evidence that women are assholes.

Hormone replacement therapy stops and in some cases reverses mpb. Maybe not the solution you were looking for, though.

The Mincome experiment only failed in the sense that despite proving the benefits of a minimum income, it hasn't caught on very quickly elsewhere.

The results are only representative of /r/linux readers, not linux users as a whole.

Whether they count or not, I would expect to see "regular" users to be orders of magnitude more common than web crawlers.

I think you're missing the point. It doesn't matter whether there's a 3D printer in every home or not, because there will always be a non-negligible number of people who find the ability to rapidly prototype objects on demand in their homes appealing. You wouldn't argue that the law can ignore the fact that many people have general purpose computers just because most people use iPhones, right?
