I feel like the truely happy aren't writing articles about how happy they are. Happiness in this way is a hidden thing amongst us.

While you don't believe you are locked in, I don't believe that you as a programmer "power user" are the majority that Apple cares about.

I believe not only that for the majority of users there is a level of software lock-in, but further there is a high level of psychological lock-in, where users get used to and comfortable with Apple's design strength, which is Apple's main offering.

As people get more comfortable and more older it is easy to say that people get more resistant to change.

Many people here mention "parenting" as a solution to this problem, and although this is a solution available to the wealthy and time wealthy audience of hacker news, the other side of the world, probably in your own country and certainly in poorer countries, the people aren't able to put in as much attention into monitoring their children or to put in time understanding the many harms of the modern world.

The real problem is the mass effect of these people. The majority of the world.

We all like to think we are above manipulation, maybe as a form of egoism, but in reality we are all simple creatures compared to the momentum of science.

Is there any reason why you don't use a profanity filter, like this one - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-profanity-f... .

It is an issue where you object to a certain subset of language, language that is used to express strong or passionate feelings about things. I have never given swearing much thought and I don't understand what makes you object to it.

I guess I have always felt that the less people have to sensor themselves them better. The wikipedia article on the subject [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity] is not as informative as I'd hoped.

It might be better to use variations in the background color. It may feel more natural to do so and it would allow normal syntax highlighting alongside scope highlighting.

I'm yet to see any of these command line tips show (GNU) tar with the -a (--auto-compress) tag

    # compress a file, tar will automatically compress it according to the file extension you use
    tar -caf archive.tar.gz file1 file2 ...
    
    # extract a file, again tar will automatically pass it through the right decompression program
    tar -xaf archive.tar.gz
