Many share the same sentiment, and some do that more strongly than others. Interestingly, it never had that effect on me, however, though I cannot speak Russian, except read, but my vocabulary is extremely limited. I think it's important to distinguish between current events and the culture, literature, and art that spans centuries.
Depends on a producer, I guess. Where I'm from, same amount of decaffeinated coffee by the same producer is around 42% more expensive.
I don't know why you are so annoyed, but I know for a fact that average non-technical person is incapable of sharing files over Bluetooth on their own, and this probability of incapacity increases with age.
It's incredibly difficult. Do you have any idea how "non-technical" these "non-technical" people are? I know people that use phone every day to make calls as send messages, take photos, browse Facebook, read emails and they could not send an email with a file attachment to save their life. Asking that kind of person to:
1. Enable Bluetooth and make device discoverable
2. Enable Bluetooth on another device.
3. Pair the devices.
4. Find an option to send the file
5. Accept the file in another device.
6. Wait for the file transfer to finish.
7 (bonus). File transfer failed for some reason and you have to start again.
It's simply impossible.
Yes.
>Or do you have some kind of fear of contamination, being "less-than-human"?
No. In fact, I have nothing against external life enhancing tools of any kind, be it glasses, hearing aids or anything else. I do not look down on anyone for having any kind of artificial devices, either invasive or non invasive. Just for me personally, the idea of having artificial devices as a permanent part of biological flesh feels awful. I like technology, but at hand's reach.
>Your views seem quite abnormal.
Good.
How is it hard? You don't have to do anything. Being the opposite is hard.
>I've never written a line of Elixir or Erlang before in my life
How is this possible?
I am so glad I don't live in US.
I really don't think this is a good analogy. Clearly presenting an idea / architecture / model / workflow at a high level by creating a graphical representation is quite different than making an application does a lot of things at a low level (e.g. handling user interactions, processing data, providing GUI, communicating with other systems, handling errors).
I agree there may be some benefits to that but I guess it also depends on what kind of diagrams you are making. For example, I would never ever draw UML diagrams in markup. I want to be in control how elements look, where they are placed, where and how lines are drawn and where and how they are shown. In my experience, automatic placement even on GUI diagramming tools suck 99.9% of the time.
Not something I can agree with.
