If the audience is non-technical, I either use plaintext (treated as plaintext) or LaTeX, with plaintext preferred. This will ensure that documentation is either simple enough that it can be read quickly, or detailed enough to be reassuring.

IMHO, the benefits of almost-plaintext formats are extremely slight, and overshadowed by the threat that it might get overcomplicated to the point that it requires a browser to view.

If the audience is technical, typing "man foo" is more direct than searching the web for "foo documentation -bar -baz" or hunting through /usr/share for a README: the brain has to go through fewer context switches between "How do I work the damn thing again" and "I am now learning how to work the damn thing". mdoc.samples(7) is helpful.

Also what >>569 said.

I prematurely hit send on accident, not sure how, I do have phantom clicks and keystrokes on this turrible hardware. So now the world gets to laugh at my foolishness (but 'tis better, I find, to be laugh'd at than y-wept).

I am slightly serious about the autotools documentation, though, it's not like it's great and there are corner cases it won't help you with, but it probably tells what you want from an 80-20 perspective if only you could actually not have navigation issues in the way and if only it weren't a "do it this way or weird shit will happen" kind of suite.

I use Dash for a lot of near-instant offline reference searches these days, though curiously I still use the terminal for manpages. I guess it's not broken....

I wonder how well things would go if normal help files were just as easily searchable, but so much UX work has gone in the direction of "normies don't think they need manuals, suck at ctrl+f, and most of the ones they've looked at weren't helpful at all anyway", which isn't really wrong, but does lead to its own set of anti-patterns like the hamburger menu and walled garden learned helplessness.

Lately I've found that I really want to re-learn all the stuff I was "supposed" to learn in college and put it all in Anki. Is it productive immediately? No, quite the opposite. But I hope that such a solid grasp on the fundamentals will take me really far in programming what I want.

Thanks friends, I ended up just picking asciidoc before checking back here, just to pick something (and to pick something other than monoculturedown) rather than shave yaks or invent myself a set of style conventions.
I was actually conscious that it should look nice as plaintext, so it's more like I just picked asciidoc for syntax highlighting as a basic sanity check and for future probable conversion to HTML/man/pdf/etc.

I'll keep >>569 in mind, especially remembering all the API docs I've had to endure that are just a set of data structures and alphabetically-sorted methods for converting between them, resulting in frustrating journeys back and forth over 6 pages of 6 screens each.

I wish I could've grown up in the age of MMOs that had really hardcore death mechanics and more open PvP, like Ultima Online () . I could still technically play it today, but it's basically on life support at this point, with very few players, so it's not the same. Other MMOs like Tibia had weird broken game mechanics, like there was an NPC that would attack you if you swore around it, so some people would trick another player into swearing next to them and then they'd die and the other player could take their items that were dropped on death. And you de-leveled, I think. Nowadays, MMOs are more casual, and if you die, it's just a setback of like 5 minutes or something. But those hardcore and abusable game mechanics (which were sometimes unintentional) were what made it fun. There was another Tibia thing where you could lure a high level monster into a safe area and then it'd aggro on low level players and kill them. Or you could block someone from leaving a certain area, and there was this one place in particular where someone would trick a player into going into a dangerous place by dropping a valuable item there, and then the player would go through and then the scammer player would block them, and then the victim player would be within aggro range of a dangerous monster that would kill them and they'd be unable to escape because of the other player blocking them (and in Tibia you couldn't just clip through other players).

But I feel like hardcore death mechanics in online games, and MMOs in general, are both kind of dying.

( E-E) yeah, ted sat in the woods for 15 years jerking off over theory and ideology and had a final score of like 4 because he used bombs made of twigs and pinecones. McVeigh was retaliating against a physical, tangible injustice and got 200 in a single day. Nothing alike at all.

Ted was a thinker, not focused on killing people. He made a lot of criticisms about modern life and technology. If you read his manifesto you'd know he only did the bombings to get national attention for his ideas about society. McVeigh just wanted to kill people, and that's what he did.

I have read his manifesto and it's a bunch of nebulous shite, like the ramblings of an edgy 15 year old. McVeigh was retaliating against the hypocrisy of the US government and for the Waco siege, which would have been decried as a crime against humanity with the perpetrators on trial at The Hague if any other government on earth had done such a thing to its own citizens.

I've always hated the "that's enough, both of you" attitude because it's someone asserting a supposed moral superiority, that they value harmony over a proper resolution and simply assuming that the others do the same, when that's not likely to be the case.

Some people actually care about issues that affect their lives. Not everyone is in the same position as you, where you think things don't affect you (maybe sheltered?), and not everyone is as apathetic as you either. Don't act like everyone else is just a carbon copy of you. And don't pretend that you know so much more than everyone else. It's like sour grapes but you're telling yourself that you're too good to get involved in politics. A very naive stance to take.

A lot of hot air. If anything it's you trying to take a moral superiority saying it's naïve not to be interested. I don't care if you talk about it, or sports, or your diet, or converting to Haruhism, or cars, or Magic: The Gathering or any other pointless shit, but don't pretend any of it is of any importance here

Poking around Wikipedia a bit, one pop-sci author appears to use the terms "amygdala hijack" and "limbic hijack."

I don't think there's a formal term that encapsulates the "misplaced" part, since actual scientists are interested in the response itself rather than how rational it is (and generally studying mice or something where no instinctual response is really misplaced.)
