This is a feature cast, an episode of The Command Line Podcast.
Listener feedback this week is from quite a few folks. Matt wrote in about outliners, asking what I do in particular to bend vim to this task. I use a vimrc line like "autocmd BufEnter,BufNew *.notes set sw=4 ts=4 expandtab spell tw=0 foldmethod=indent smartindent". Colin posted a
comment about AAC and chapter marks. John had a much more incisive comment on my switching to an open stack segment. Ian also wrote about outliners, suggesting
org-mode and in particular a
couple of
screencasts. And Max shared his experiences switching to Linux not once, but twice.
The hacker word of the week this week is
filter.
The feature this week is a rant digging into the question of whether we'll ever develop effective controls that match our complex expectations of privacy and digging into the source of that complexity. I mention
a couple of posts by danah boyd, some
criticism of the demands made of Facebook by privacy advocates, my reading of Clay Shirky's "
Here Comes Everybody", and
small world networks.
