I lost a son to suicide in 2009. It brought unbelievable pain and suffering to our family. My son was suffering from schizophrenia and I don't think that he had the "courage" to hang himself. He was just suffering too much with his treatment and his life. It would've been much better if he had waited and he had prepared us for such a thing.
Terry is not a coward. He wants to go with dignity and he is thinking about the ones who love him too.
It's just so easy to click a button and see the page on the browser, that I don't miss the wysiwyg feature of dreamweaver. I used both and I once you got used to the html tags, it's way faster to maintain the site using bluefish.
I got asked once, if I would prefer to live intelligently in a prison knowing I was in one, or stupidly in the same place not knowing what it was. I would choose the latter.
Well, I guess a dumb person wouldn't know how to answer this question because it's way too complex. Or it really doesn't matter, since you would be in a prison anyway.
I agree with your idea that drugs are only buying you time. That's why several studies concluded that medications in conjunction with talk therapy seems to work better than medication alone.
Sadly, sometimes they don't buy enough time, or they might even interfere with the healing process, because a lot of young people die by suicide while on medications. There are several studies showing that people younger than 25 are at higher risk of suicide when taking certain anti-depressants. I know this too well because I recently lost a son that was taking prescribed medications under the care of a physician to suicide.
Even if this user analytics is able to capture the whole echosystem of the machine running the program, it would have to be able to capture things that are happening outside the computer reach. Sometimes the user executes several tasks outside the program to find out what they want to do with the program. There are written notes on the side of the machine, questions shouted to someone on the other desk, phone calls, that might be fulfilling things that the program is failing in provide.
In my experience here in US, the different tracks on each subject do very little into promoting or allowing creative thinking for the higher levels. All they do is to allow the student to spend more or less time with the rote learning given that they pass on the stupid standard, mandatory tests. So it's all about higher degree of compliance with the system.
Most of the morons that run the offices of gifted and talented students could as well be replaced by computer programs that apply the tests and spit out the results to select who is gifted and who is not. In fact, I believe computers would do a better job at adding up the scores then most of these clerks.
They can be brilliant, dangerous, dull, dumb or all together. If the manager is skillful enough, the whole team can benefit from the assets that everyone bring to the group
Usually after a couple week I figure out the flow and I am just as productive as the guy was before, except people are willing to talk to me. Ask questions and raise problems that the other guy made them to afraid to mention.
Would you be able to figure out the flow after a couples of weeks if you didn't have Josh's code to look at?

in exchange for long term economic vitality.
I don't know where you are seeing this vitality. This outsourcing model applied here, with the predatory competition, took us to an unviable economy.
This is a very easy distro. My mom (81) was able to use it. And we are talking about a woman that doesn't use ATMs because they are 'too complicated'.
but since search engines return results based on your pattern of usage, thebra's results might be better than garry_g's ones.

I use bluefish. It's like dreamweaver, but it's open source.
I don't know about Pixar... I would hate to see Marvel characters with those balloon big eyed heads that show up on all Pixar movies.
