Personally, I would tell you that whatever understanding you gain may still have bugs. Unless your understanding is as complete as a formal treatment of the code, then there may still be bugs in the code due to shared misunderstandings between author and reviewer. The biggest one is both having an incomplete understanding of what a library function does.
So while there may be some overlap, particularly if each person has full understanding of the code's dependencies, in the general case, understanding code and finding bugs are quite different aims.
This organization is going out of the way to avoid spraying insecticides. It seems far more effective than increasing predators because ecosystems tend to adapt to predation.
Remarkable 2 is pretty good, though last time I used it the search feature for large pdfs was pretty janky. The BOOX eink devices are also perfectly fine; they're really just android tablets with a special build of android for eink devices. Those are the ones I've used personally.
Pocket Book still makes eink ereaders, though. Is there something wrong with their offerings if you stuck with one of their products for 15 years?
PineNote isn't really a consumer device. PINE64 has made it abundantly clear that the PineNote is a developer playground device; they're waiting on the community to refine the software support and flesh out the ecosystem for it.
Forth is at this point more of a culture than a language. It's a culture about keeping designs simple so that they're understandable. Without this, Forth is only powerful for programmers who can keep a lot in their heads, but lots of Forth programs end up being write-once. Moore's view, as well as most other high-level Forthers preach simplicity above all; a code cleanliness that would make Uncle Bob blush.
Lean and most type theoretic-based languages don't merely preach simplicity, they demand it. A function or type with a handful of terms or constructors might be provably inhabited/total, whereas one with 2 handfuls of terms or constructors might not be in a reasonable amount of time due to the exponential growth of the proof space. Factoring code optimally for provability yields the simplicity that Forth programmers are striving for.
The credit goes to Luhmann. Ahrens wrote a book about Luhmann's system, but Ahrens' book was more about the practical side of study habits and the nature of knowledge as much as it was about the practical side of actually using a zettelkasten.
That wasn't the issue. The problem was that most of Windows system utilities are not managed, but the WPF move was trying to make a patchwork quilt of managed vs. unmanaged utilities, making the entire system very difficult to reason about and introducing regressions constantly. From the Windows Team's perspective, the .NET people just made a mess out of everything they touched.
Perhaps if WPF really did stay at the presentation level, or used VMs or something to keep it away from the Windows core, it would have panned out better. But is it goes with "paradigm shifts", when a company thinks it has a great idea, it wants to suddenly do that great idea everywhere.
No, the issue, as outlined in the post, is real problematic behavior of real people on the internet who are inclined to tell anyone who is skeptical regarding the data (whatever it may be) that they should more or less discount their personal observations, reasoning, and experience when it goes counter to the data.
The post is about the author, not crime. The critique of Scott. A's posts is an example of the kind of online content that led the author to become "apostate to the Church of Graphs".
A direct conclusion. The insight I'll draw from that is that academia gives voice to the results the current zeitgeist finds interesting and believable without properly verifying the evidence.
The purpose stated in the article in the mind of Birren was to reduce eye strain. I don't think it's so much that humans "prefer" it as such, more that we're very well adapted to work in environments with lots of it.
So while there may be some overlap, particularly if each person has full understanding of the code's dependencies, in the general case, understanding code and finding bugs are quite different aims.
