»Should users give up complete control of their interaction with interfaces? Will users want to risk depending on “agents” that learn their likes and dislikes and act on a user’s behalf?« from November 1997, Interactions Magazine

Penpot took it from CSS.

Oh, good to know that it depends on locale, I always wondered about that behavior!

If you are interested in TypeScript for the browser, you might also like --erasableSyntaxOnly option of typescript >5.8. The only tool needed for it is the typescript compiler itself, so toolchain is kept to a minimum.

Bruno Latour’s "The Pasteurization of France" is about Louis Pasteur and the creation and success of germ theory. It does explain it not by focussing on Pasteur per se, but by showing how different groups of people adapted it for different goals.

> Not because I think it's helping him in the long run, but because it could help him feel better now.

Very much this: The long run is vague, and the only sure thing is that we will be dead. But this is a small thing one can do now.

These examples (dogs,cars...) are badly used in most programming books, but they can make sense if you show them in context of a small game or whatever else actually draws you an (inter) active virtual car or animal (which made OOP click for me, using processing). Printing "meow" and "woof" in the terminal, however, only makes sense as a demonstration if you already know what it should demonstrate.

That's a terrific track. Awesome intro riff, too.

For learning about the basics of statistics, my go-to resource is "Discovering Statistics using [R/SPSS]" (Andy Field). "Improving Your Statistical Inferences" (Daniel Lakens) needs some basics, but covers a lot of intesting topics, including sequencial testing and equivalence tests (sometimes you want to know if a new thing is equivalent to the old)

I second both resources!

No, afaic it does not.

I guess mainly recreation and, particularly, teaching.

I read his "learning processing" many years ago. It was the book that made programming made sense to me. The explanations are excellent, the outcomes interesting and it helped me to see why object orientation makes sense after fruitless attempts of understanding it using examples of different types of cars that print "wrooom wroom" to the terminal.
