As long as the tools and programs are WCAG/508-compliant, it should be good to go. Common to use Braille Readers or screen readers.

I’d be curious if certain syntaxes are easier than others.

It was a great boom for Linux and OSX that a developer could make a Chrome OS app and literally be cross-platform (of course with some downsides). Odd move by Google IMO. I'm guessing less devs will support only Chrome OS apps.

I'm concerned about the mobile-friendly options for MM. Slack has pretty good iOS apps (and others, but I've never tried them). Does MM have quality mobile apps?

But, HoneyCrisp apples are so good!

If you would take a slight stroll from your worldview to the "Biblical worldview" you learn about the theology of inspiration. See, Christians (most traditions) believe that God did not write the Bible. It is the common belief that God inspired (or, more literally, God-breathed) the words through the guidance of his spirit through his followers. So, if you can put on that perspective, it would make sense why it is so embedded and entangled into the dozens of authors' cultural norms and approaches. It also would explain why it doesn't put other books to shame; they are all written by people!

Since the theology of the authorship of the Bible specifically posits that it was written by people, then that would also explain why it does not address things that the writers did not know.

Lastly, many of the writings of the Christian Bible (somewhat similarly for the Jewish Bible) were written for a particular occasion (this is even more true in the New Testament epistles and gospels). Thus, the message of those writings needed to have a purpose and the implied audience (as opposed to the empirical audience [see implied/empirical authorship/audience theory]) is the intended audience for the author. All this to say, that is why it's challenging to find truths that we can agree on when reading an ancient text, for ancient cultures, by ancient authors, and find application in a 21st-century world. It's not impossible, but that is the challenge of exegesis.

That's a fair argument. However, the reason behind Knuth's conclusions are inevitably different than Trump's. So, I think it shouldn't be compared.

The slideshow issue is significant though. Where are the great FOSS presentation tools like Prezi or that have the polish of Keynote? The most recent PPT is decent.

Trying to do presentations on a Nix machine is a nightmare.

I'm interested in this exact setup. We'll see...

TRP has a horrible reputation. What did the sidebar help/teach you?

Postmark App has been very effective for our platform. Very little gets flagged and they have an easy way for users to "appeal" and have their emails approved. The only thing (good and bad) is that if a vendor erroneously flags our emails to our provider team as spam, Postmark won't event attempt to deliver it. It's a hard no. So, we have to have an email sent from that address to Postmark to (in essence) re-subscribe /verify that they want the emails to come through. This happens even though people aren't manually flagging them as spam, it's something on Y!, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. are doing on the back end.

But, that's okay. Throughout history they have had hits and misses. It doesn't change that this is their approach for how to be successful.

Considering tbeir R&D is relatively low, they do tremendous market research.

They identify an existing market and try to do it better than the existing players. It's not just marketing. That's an unfair statement.

This still seems to have a water to go, but it looks quite promising. Thanks.

I love this if only because of the built in straightening and OCR! It makes everything else sub-par.

This is interesting... Anyone else try this?

But that still doesn't actually answer the email provider question.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I expect a post in he next day or so from Open Whisper people to lend credibility to this project. They seem to be the Go-To these days.

Why do you think they are so poorly supported? I know relatively few users have multi-GPU systems...it may be as simple as that, but I would have expected DX, OpenGL, and the new one from Valve (blanking right now, Vulcan?) would have improved usage and stability with minimal per-game development.

Either awesome move to crowdsource vulnerabilities and improve stability...or horrible internal mistake.

The code (of course) isn't public, it's just that the kernel isn't encrypted. Some places are reporting it inaccurately.

Yeah, I found several decent read-only apps, but that hampers the experience for me.

Nice.

I still wonder why HN seems hesitant to develop the HN platform further (although I'm relatively new to the site, so I don't know the history).

As do I, but the conversations I have on HN are more fascinating to me, so I'd actually rather have push-notifications on HN than Reddit.

The biggest thing is still a better way to browse/post on iOS.

If only we could get notifications for replies & a decent mobile app existed.

I didn't realize it, but Django CMS got OSS CMS of the Year Award from CMS Critic. That's very impressive.

I get what they are saying, but the marketing copy on this is all wrong. The benedits/costs are written poorly and still make me think that it may not be a great device.

Yes, please. My children have better penmanship than I do.

I find taxonomy useful, but I think Derrida is right that Searle was more preoccupied making SAT (and language in general) into a mathematical formula than the "art" of language. I think the only really crucial elements are: - locutions - illocution (act/force and [or vs] intent) - perlocution (act/force and [or vs] intent)

I find very little use teaching or using the 5 categories of Searle for interpretation of verbal or written speech acts.

I find studying a locution from illocutionary intent or perlocutionary intent more useful than Assertive, Directive, etc.

Hope it made sense and it was a useful answer! I still find it a fascinating field that is under-utilized because people try to make it into a programming language (a la Searle) instead of a way to understand semantics and semantic intent.

Actually, yes. I used to be an Apple Genius and whenever we dealt with two machines on separate LANs, that required NAT, there were so many problems with traversing the routers. We had to do manual setups with port forwarding or DMZ. Facetime seems have significantly improved with this (but was awful when it was iChat w/ Group Video chats), but Back to My Mac is still very problematic-- you can see this issue also by trying to Screen Share over iMessage to other people. In my experience it only has about a 50% success rate.

My home setup still doesn't work with Back to My Mac (and hasn't for years).

This disaster git me out of TV and into ZeroTier and NoMachine instead.
