The problem the article highlights is not the considerable amount of "graybeards," but the lack of everyone else.
to have a bigger part of that pie, then have more of them jump in.
The problem is: how?
I personally enjoy working with open source projects because I like making code to help other people. But, apparently, that's not enough of an incentive for other people.
It's fine, but when it's not playing something and the screen is off I can't change the volume, which is really stupid.
Sometimes I've got earphones connected and press play on them and the volume is loud, but I can't just pause and lower it, I have to: pause, grab the phone, unlock it and only then lower the volume. At least it should be a setting.
Every decision is arbitrary in some way. We, as humans, defined it would be better to arrange the periodic table a certain way, based on characteristics of the elements, but the characteristics chosen are arbitrary. We could've just chosen a different set for ordering, like alphabetical.
Tho, that's a correct (IIRC) yet weird usage of "arbitrary", and since language exists to talk, not to be correct, we might as well not use this definition of arbitrary and stick to what conveys information better.
Edit: I'm wrong! perhaps "correct" was the word I meant to say, not sure tho.
I imagined a red dodgeball on a small brown table.
The person was just a thick stick figure and when the ball fell it bounced.
The color and shape I didn't actively choose, they cam be different, but I guess my brain has defaults.
The ball falling and bouncing, however, I had to actively think about, the same way I have to think about texture. I don't have to think about where the ball would stop, or how much it would bounce tho.
