I have no issues with billionaires but honestly Bezos sounds like an entitled little prick.

Thunderbird's roadmap:
https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/roadmap
TL;DR: kill XUL and a bunch of other 20th-century cruft that's slowing down development and making the whole thing look outdated.
@satanasur Things are more complex than that. iirc, there were several versions of those machines, only a subset of which were actually built, and the whole enterprise of actually using them wasn't straightforward, either (math calculations vs general computations). There was correspondence and collaboration between #Babbage and #AdaLovelace. Some ideas were published, other kept private. Thus the confusion.
From the archive entitled
_“Ada Lovelace was the First Programmer in History”_
(note: [she was not](https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/technology/visionaries/ada-lovelace-original-and-visionary-but-no-programmer/)), now comes

It just dawned on me that we can recycle all of the good emacs jokes on VScode!
Like, VSCode might be a nice operating system, shame it lacks an editor one could use

**Mismatching epistemological hierarchies** explain perhaps a quarter of #debates that end up unproductive or even bitter for me.
I wouldn't dare define my _Pyramid of Sources of #Truth_ without giving it some careful thought first, but… a first approximation:
💡 **Quantitative data or stats that are either common knowledge or directly accessible to most people** (eg, no. of seats in the Spanish Parliament, minimum height of all outside doors in Granada Cathedral).
⬇️
💡 **Quantitative data or stats issued by sources commonly understood to be authoritative and unbiased** (eg, average size of all dentist's offices in Norway according to the Ministry of Health).
⬇️
💡 **Old, peer-reviewed, published meta-analyses that are accessible** (eg via #SciHub) **to most people**.
⬇️
💡 **Old, peer-reviewed, published meta-analyses**.
⬇️
💡 **Old, peer-reviewed, published papers**.
⬇️
💡 **Peer-reviewed, published papers**.
⬇️
💡 **Peer-reviewed papers**.
⬇️
💡 **Reports, surveys, research, whitepapers, polls** — with a wild degree of confidence, depending on the particulars (see _parameters_ below).
⬇️
💡 **Published books, theatrical documentaries**.
⬇️
💡 **Self-published books, self-produced documentaries**.
⬇️
💡 **Long blog posts with links to secondary sources**.
⬇️
💡 **Newspaper articles** fall somewhere around here.
⬇️
💡 **Blog posts**.
⬇️
💡 **Online videos, tweets, screenshots, photos, voice messages, viral clips, copied-and-pasted quotes, hearsay, anecdote, feeling, hunch, rumour, revelation**.
In all cases, the bigger these **parameters**, the higher a particular #sourceOfTruth moves up my hierarchy:
🔺 Sample size.
🔺 No. ot times result has been reproduced.
🔺 Boringness of result (ie, how common-sensical and unsurprising it seems to the average person).
🔺 Parsimoniousness (ie, simplicity) of interpretations given for result.
🔺 Awkwardness of result for parties involved (ie, how inconvenient it is for the interests of authors themselves).
