Hobby Blogging is Dead Unless it Isn't
Mid to late December saw a broad online conversation around Jason Kottke's "The Blog is Dead, Long Live the Blog". I didn't catch up with that current1 until I read Duncan Davidson's newsletter recently. Amid links to the Kottke essay, Alexis Madrigal's thoughts at the Atlantic, John Scalzi, and Frank Chimero on "Homesteading", Duncan writes
My own homesteading thoughts have lately turned not only to how to structure things on a website, but also how to share ongoing information in a way that's timely. RSS feeds seem to continue to fade in importance and while they're probably not going away entirely anytime soon, it's clear that they solve only a portion of the problem.
The decommissioning of Google Reader is critical to all this. Reader was without question the hub of the reverse-chronological blog ecosystem, and Google's discontinuing of the service created a significant sharing problem that also substantially amplified the extant trend toward "long form" writing and designery pieces like Snowfall, on one hand, and streaming social platform services, on the other. Google's move underscores one critical piece of the story that Alexis Madrigal hits on, that "the stream is a creation of particular companies and thinkers" and not a natural product of the Internet. Whereas in 1997 "wired teens" (per Kottke) were proto-blogging with the shell accounts, ftp and web hosting provided by their colleges and ISPs, the advent of Blogger and later Google Reader would shift blog publishing and reading to a massive media landscape scale.
In the Reader+RSS era, a million ways to publish proliferated and Reader generally let them all bloom via RSS.2 I don't think it's an exaggeration to suggest that this infrastructure enabled what would become the Wordpress and Moveable Type empires; likewise the glut of shared web hosting services that somewhat tellingly are much more consolidated and cloud-service-oriented than they once were. I'm not trying to draw straight causal lines here, because many of these currents were on the rise prior to Reader becoming the dominant distribution and reading model, but I think it's clear that as contemporaries they were all part of a particular technically-faciliated ecosystem that would eventually sit with Reader at its core.
Fundamentally, Reader+RSS was mostly plumbing; the services and platforms that are replacing it are not. So while we are (maybe) in a great age of diverse platforms we no longer have a unified way to consume them,3 and that's a dilemma for people who want to read as well as people who want to create things. This may pose the largest impact to casual writers, the kind who might have fired up a hosted blog on a whim or periodically posted something of narrower or specialized interest. So much of the engagement once available to those authors has mostly dried up — while there is a bounty of ways to produce stuff, the ad hoc federations of interest collections is just harder to create and maintain without a dominant structure to put it all into. The kind whose writing is not short or pithy enough for microblogging or Twitter, not connected or viral enough to hit Medium or another curated platform4.
I have no illusions about this very site not being square in that category, but this isn't meant to be a pity-party, only an observation/suggestion that the tools and infrastructure that for a time enabled a kind of media by the masses have again bifurcated into the micro-social and the truly mass media, and the kinds of things that survive in either of those environments are going to be different, except for blog-format sites that already have a mass readership (Daring Fireball among tech blogs, say, and Kottke and plenty of others). Everything else using that form will persist as a labor of love, an adjunct to a "more engaging model," or a holdover from the pleistocene of the "home page." As Scalzi writes, for those of us who want to own the things we produce and decide on our own how to present ourselves, the hobby home page is still something valuable:
I don't see myself ever not doing Whatever, because at the end of the day I want to control my own space online and say what I want to be able to say, unencumbered by character limits or SEO-driven advertisements in the sidebars or any other sort of distraction. But if it turns out that it's just one part of an overall online presence portfolio, well, that's no different than it ever was … and it's part and parcel of the fact that my presence is distributed in other ways as well
It's clear that that function is no longer completed by that single site alone. Duncan Davidson's newsletter prompted this post so I might as well bookend it with another of his remarks: On this shift from blog to something else, Duncan writes that "Whatever structure one uses, the urge to have one's own presence online is certainly compelling." For those of us who have been doing this since the 90s, that's exactly right — and we'll have to keep discovering and creating new ways to be expressive and find the social community to engage with.
Self-conscious "stream" reference there, yes. [return]
Notably, while publishing platforms proliferated, the Reader web interface was, to my fuzzy recollection, the by far dominant method to read one's news feeds, despite a great variety of other good clients that used Reader as their backbone. [return]
Technically, many of these publishing-platform islands do provide and support RSS, even if you have to look for it, but without the centralized service to update and access them it's just too difficult for most users who have not migrated to feedly or feedbin to read them across their various machines and devices. [return]
There's a notion that this is all democratizing technology allowing everybody to have a voice, and that's still true to an extent, but mostly in only the strictly technical sense; there's a stratification of voices and a real class system out here. [return]
It's January 1, 2014. I spent a good chunk of yesterday morning tuning up my still-incomplete backups over at TextDrive (as one does), enjoyed a couple of good cups of coffee and visited friends for a new year's eve party (but did not make it until midnight; I turned into a pumpkin early and went home for a nice winter's nap). Today I think I'll try to bake some bread, cook some lamb, edit the pile of holiday photos I have amassed over the past week or so, and sip some bourbon.
As I type, it's 45º F outside, so it's possible that all this screen stuff goes out the window as I go out the door.
The Year's Bloggy Roundup and Administrivia
Piwik tells me that my top five hits here at PGH in 2013 were:
VSCO + Fujifilm X100S — Experimenting with the very good VSCO film packs. I'm making a lot of use of Film Pack 02 these days, fond of several of the Kodak-style presets in particular. (some samples here)
Making pictures — thinking about and eventually getting a new camera. Six months on, I find the photos from my X100s to be better and better as my use of it improves.
pretty good hat home
Integrating Runkeeper with Day One via Slogger — I am continuing to get a lot of pleasure from the connectivity to my various social spaces that Slogger provides, and I'm quite happy that the runkeeper connection works nicely (despite the initial setup of the API credentials being a chore).
Alfred 2 workflows - managing a to-do list. Alfred is among the set of every good tools that enhance using my Mac. I wish I had a good equivalent at work.

Today I plugged in Bigfoot to add some flair to footnotes, just in case. 1 Otherwise, this little gig has been pretty stable behind the scenes. I expect I'll continue to post mostly using the iPad, as I have since August when I hooked up my publishing workflow to Editorial. Perhaps I'll do a lot more mobile writing next year; I have been happy with my nice weekend afternoon routine of taking the iPad to the coffee shop to catch up.
I enjoyed the writing and thinking I did here in 2013. I have a set of notes brewing, drafts to pick up in the next days or weeks (maybe should update that Usesthis editors post to see just what happened to TextMate in the latter half of the year). I'm looking forward to it and continue to welcome feedback and comments via contact information at the bottom of the page. Thanks.
I'm very happy that kramdown creates compatible footnotes from markdown. This is an example. They're nice. I'll probably tinker some more with styling and such. Dr Drang recently discussed his implementation. [return]
We're home again after about a week traveling northbound to my parents' house for Christmas. All in all, I'm exhausted. But it was a great trip, full of some wonderful memories: my son's first time skiing (about which I can just say joy and glee and miles-wide grins) which I will remember for the rest of my life; meeting my new nephew for the first time; seeing many family and school friends for the first time in years; the way my son was perfectly happy — more than happy, content and Merry — with the very first present he found for himself under the tree, no expectations of more but then there's more OMG (because of course there was, thanks, grandma and grandpa); feeding my nephew and rocking him to sleep; my wife being ill for most of the trip, sitting together quietly after the house had gone to sleep.
Recognizing in my son that these memories are forming for him, too, that he will remember pieces of the last week as he goes on through his own life, an evolving story that will one day be all his own.
Bring it on, 2014.
Avoiding Spam with Email Aliasing
Gabe has a good write up of mail aliases, specifically at fastmail. I have used plus addressing for years, but had not known about subdomain aliasing, which works great and looks less obviously like an alias. Good tip!
Knee Deep in Nostalgia
This week was the twenty year anniversary of Doom. Ars Technica has a fun collection of Doom memories, and Wired has an interview with Chris Carmack that touches on the game's design and technology decisions, and its long-lived effect on gaming.
I was in my senior year of high school when Doom was released, and I ran a BBS that experienced a lot of downtime while I shotgunned imps. For some reason, I was a keyboard-only player, and I recall being stunned at how quickly players using a mouse in a deathmatch (deathmatch!) could spin to take me down while I pursued them. As it happened, however, I didn't play much multiplayer until going off to college the following fall with my shiny 386DX4 built by a friend who worked at a local computer store.
Aside: I spent a lot of time hanging out at Pro Computer. There's a good story that involves my high-centering my mom and dad's car in the parking lot by backing over a sizeable ledge that seems in hindsight to be awfully poorly placed. Somewhere somebody had an animated ANSI of the whole episode, including three friends helping rock the car back onto its wheels.
Also, This is where I tl;dr my own rant about how kids these days have it easy with their mostly reliable PC hardware. That custom DX4 was a speed demon in its day, but I was forever troubleshooting problems between its Sound Blaster and sketchy CD-ROM drive. I never did get that damn thing to play Myst.
I lived in a former frat house converted my year into a freshman men's dorm. It wasn't wired for Ethernet with the campus network at the time, but it was only about half full, which means it had a lot of unused phone lines that, as it happens, were nonetheless live. So, we had a reasonably high tech group of college freshmen slightly isolated by geography from the bulk of campus, with lots of high-spec hardware, 14.4kbps modems (I would upgrade to a 28.8 that winter), and an extra phone line for just about everybody.
So, yeah, we played a lot of deathmatch Doom that year.
One epic game sticks in my mind, ending with two of us, down to the last scraps of ammo and health after a furious series of frags, stalking one another for one final hit. It was the kind of finale that had housemates gathered around our CRTs in each of our rooms (also because it was time to go to dinner, come on guys, let's do this). I had the rocket launcher and he had the plasma gun, and I rounded a corner just in time to find him — camping! — at the far end of a room. The slight travel time for both our weapons' fire meant that we had enough time to watch, but not quite dodge effectively, as a rocket traversed one direction and plasma came the other way, for a devastating simul-frag. I recall seeing him drop, briefly mentally celebrating, and then going down myself, to hoots around me and down the hall. Brutal.
So thanks, Doom, for twenty years, you big gateway FPS you.
Where's iTunes Extras for AppleTV?
Rene Ritchie asks a question I've wondered about myself. On the same topic, why does iTunes keep insisting that I should download everything I've purchased? Every time I open iTunes I have to wait for the downloads to start, then bring up the window and "pause all" — no way, as far as I can tell, to just disable automatic downloading of purchased content. Guys, I going to watch all that Walking Dead on my AppleTV, not cart it around on my MacBook Pro or iPads. How many times do I have to tell iTunes?
Love Actually celebrates a Christmas for the rest of us
When I was in high school, I gave up on the idea of Christmas, bitter at my discovery that going through the motions doesn't actually result in initiation into the dominant culture. Yet Christmas remained an unavoidable holiday, and I found it was best spent watching movies and ignoring one's parents for as long as possible. That's when Love Actually came into my life.
Every time it ends, I wish it wouldn't. I want the music to keep playing. I want the stories to keep unfolding. I want to live inside the warm, loving, and occasionally tragic world of the film, where not everyone gets a happy ending. Love Actually is the only film that brings me Christmas spirit—a modern, urban kind of festivity, but one that makes my heart warm like no stories of Santa or nutcrackers really can.
This is a great reflective review of a movie that I like a lot. Sonia Saraiya captures something about the about the way the film is mostly about moods and a collective excitement and mostly-gentleness.
snow delay
A few inches of snow and very cold temps mean a two-hour delay for the start of school this morning, so I have some extra time to have coffee and hang out with my son this morning. He's excitedly running through the living room in his snow boots, so I'm taking a few minutes to make note of a few things that have interested me lately.
The Fujifilm X100s a One Year on Review: "I love the X100s and after a year of shooting it still holds the same excitement it offered on day one. I can't recommend it enough."

DMing for your toddler: my son has started wanting me to tell him stories instead of reading them, so I've been making up a couple of core stories and elaborating on them a little each night as he asks questions and reminds me of details I may have added and forgotten. Turning this into a shared, RPG-like story game sound like a lot of fun.
'Racism' of early colour photography explored in art exhibition : This is a fascinating story that should give some light to the week's dust up over gender-neutral pronouns. Technologies are not neutral to race, gender and class.
Computing at Home and Computing at Work
Six-fifteen AM, coffee in hand, I'm watching the Mavericks download progress bar on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro, my home PC. I skipped Mountain Lion on this Mac, so I imagined as this process began that I'd have quite a bit to get used to. Coffee finished, I went for a nice run at the gym (morning temp here was 22º F and I'm not crazy) and came home to find the upgrade ready to install; clicked go and went out to breakfast; came home and logged in to my new Mavericks install. So far, so seamless!
I'm not really a Mac power user anymore. Time was, I had a finely tuned academic Mac productivity toolchain; contributed lots of code to TextMate bundles; knew the guts of my LaTeX configuration inside and out; was all up in GTD's grill. But now that the Mac is my home-not-work machine, there's actually not so much to catch up with when I upgrade, and there's less to be had from the carefully crafted Mac Productivity Workflows I used to invest in. While I still do plenty of stuff at home, the volume of information I'm organizing and working with is just so substantially smaller than in the course of my Day Job, that the return, for example, on re-tooling my To-Do list system in Alfred is pretty low.
Much of this is attributable to mobile: The slick workflow for posting to this site is based in Editorial now, as opposed to the Mac desktop, and if I want a reminder of something (bills due), my iPhone works far better at that than my MacBook Pro simply because it's always there, while I spend much less time on the actual computer than when I was a stay-at-home grad student. Meanwhile, BYOD at work has concentrated even more information and interaction on my iPhone than before — but unlike the home Mac desktop, it's relatively hard to bring the sophistication of iOS (say, OmniFocus) into the tools I spend most of my time on during my day job.
Aside: So I started this post early on a weekend morning a few weeks ago, and so far Mavericks is just a very nice experience. I've read The Siracusa Review and it's a good example of the detail that I love to read but may not actually need: Back in the day, tags would have been revelatory — TAGS! — but now, no project living on my home Mac is so big that I need them. I'm not sure how to feel about that.
This matters because I get a lot of reward from using tools that are interesting, effective, and sophisticated. Doing one's work is about more than the end deliverable, right? The process matters, too, and if I like doing the work then the product is better for it (not to mention I'll do it again). Now, in my work environment there's only so much room to explore process because enterprise environments aren't as flexible as start ups or academia (see recent episodes of ATP on enterprise software for much more; I have a few draft thoughts about this, too perhaps forthcoming). But in that space I find a great deal of energy and frequently recharge my productivity batteries.
By way of example, I have for a while used emacs' org-mode for note taking, but have felt it getting cumbersome as a place to do actual writing in, so I retooled a little bit, picked up MikTeX and a Tufte-style LaTeX template and started drafting ideas related to some emerging projects. I can write in markdown and build a beautiful document, and it's fun so I enjoy the thinking more.
$ pandoc -o work-thing.pdf --latex-engine=xelatex --template=template-tufte-handout.tex work-thing.md
Just feels good. Now, sharing that work (at least in a format that my co-workers can revise instead of simply admire) requires further transformation, but that's okay; I'm getting what I need out of it at the right point in the process. To be clear, this work is rewarding all by itself because I have interesting problems and great colleagues; but there's always room for a nicer toolkit of ways in which to work.
More photography: Using the Fuji X100S and VSCO
Since buying the VSCO Film Pack 04 I've been post processing a lot of photos, and I am starting to get a feel for what I like and what seems to work well with the kinds of photos I enjoy shooting — and liking the results enough that I sprung for Film Pack 02 when it was on sale recently.
Working on some photo books over the weekend, I revisited some photos I made with my previous "big" camera, a now almost seven years-old DSLR that was my starting point for all of this hobbyist interest in photography. I have a shelf full of lenses and am deeply fond of many of the photos that came from them over the years, and proud of some of them, too. I picked up that camera for the first time in a while this weekend, organizing and cleaning up some bookshelves — It's heavy. I had forgotten. I am so used to the weight and heft of the X100s, the feel of the shutter, and that big optical viewfinder, I think it would be hard to go back. I love its output and I love to use it.
A good tool encourages its user to explore its capabilities, to learn to be most effective or creative or (day I say) productive. This camera rewards my efforts to get better. I don't have illusions about being a good photographer because I have a nice camera, but having a camera that makes even my hobby shooting feel like something that approaches a craft gives me a great incentive to learn and improve — and it's a real kick.
Everpix was great. This is how it died.
I won't get to try Everpix after all. It's too bad — it really appears to hit that niche for finding and using photos, as opposed to just dropping them in a, well, box. The Everpix team sold their technology to enable an orderly close of business (which I think shows a lot of respect for their customers), so I hope it resurfaces somewhere.
Khoi Vinh also has some thoughts. Perhaps emblematic of the problems that Everpix faced is that he describes Everpix primarily in terms of a backup service, when in fact the core of the experience the team designed was by all accounts much more than than.
Drive Nacho Drive
Brad and Sheena van Orden are a local pair who have been on the road for nearly two years in a custom VW camper van (I grew up vacationing in the back of one of those all over the Western US and get a little dreamy when I see one for sale). From Flagstaff, they've made it through South America, shipped the van (Nacho) to southeast Asia to continue through Thailand and Cambodia, and are now headed to India and the Himalayas. Their travelogue is full of fantastic photography and stories, and they have a book, too. Follow along!
It's autumn!
Making the leap to Mavericks on my home MacBook Pro prompted me to think some about the dramatically different computing environments between my home and work. But that's still a drafty post, so here are some autumn timey photos that I like, including the seasonally-required autumn leaves photos.
We also have a good new coffee shop in town that I quite enjoy:
Buca Boot: Flexible, Secure Storage for the Urban Biker
Alas, I'm not much of a bike commuter right now due to the road to my son's daycare being a blind-corner no-shoulder nightmare. But this just looks cool:
I started thinking … wouldn't it be great if I could treat my bike the way that everyone treats a car trunk (or 'boot,' as they call it in Britain), where you can just toss a gym bag or an extra pair of shoes in the trunk, no problem?
Over the last four years, I've enlisted various designers and engineers to realize my vision. We worked through iteration after iteration just trying to nail the combination of features that make the Buca Boot different: security, weather resistance, and a flexible lid system. In 2013, the final team came together and made something we wanted to share with the world.
Launch Center Pro 2.0 Review
Detailed review as always by Federico Viticci. I have a bunch of frequently-used Launch Center Pro actions: I use it to replace the phone dialer, quickly text certain contacts, enter mileage logs, and add items to calendar to to Due. This is a nice update, worth paying for, but offered as a free upgrade.
Not Catching Up
All week I crib things into pinboard, instapaper, and left-open browser tabs, thinking "oh, this is good — I'll use|blog|THINK about it later." Seeing as how it's not actually my job to do those things, and I have an active life of making lunches, making dinners, and pre-schooler lecturing at home, it feels like I never get to give any of those things the attention that I want.
Baby steps though, right?
Stack this
Reading this about management at Valve I was struck by the difference in tone between discussions of stack ranking at Valve versus at Microsoft — the latter being one off the things said to doom the company:
In the end, the stack-ranking system crippled the ability to innovate at Microsoft, executives said. "I wanted to build a team of people who would work together and whose only focus would be on making great software," said Bill Hill, the former manager. "But you can't do that at Microsoft."
To be sure, the implementation matters a great deal, and the actual ranking practices and cultures at Valve and Microsoft differ, but the public perception of each company undoubtedly shapes our view, too. At Valve this practice is daring and egalitarian (also anarchic and nigh socialism, we are told by internet commenters) while at Microsoft it's stifling and bureaucratic.
If you haven't seen it, the "leaked" Valve employee handbook originally circulated about a year ago and is an interesting depiction of a company culture.
I spent a lot of time playing games from Lucasarts back in the day. So How LucasArts Fell Apart is an intriguing read. We can on only daydream about all those projects that never made it out the door.
Relatedly, I am eager to see how Steam's new adventure in living room gaming will work out. I'm interested in being able to move away from requiring a high-specced desktop or laptop machine for gaming, while maintaining the library of stuff on Steam that I really enjoy. For that reason, the streaming to the TV route isn't ideal at all for me, but with a new Mac on my roadmap it could be a nice intermediate step.
(The most recent game I have really enjoyed is Mark of the Ninja, which recently launched for the Mac. It hits the sweet spot for sneaking around in the dark action.)
My First 100 Days With Google Glass
Many articles have already covered the Glass hardware; simply put, Google has done a good job designing the device. Glass is light and unobtrusive. The screen looks great, even in broad daylight, and the camera and processor are excellent for such a small form factor. Battery life, though, is the bottleneck: with heavy usage, I can discharge the entire battery in half an hour. I expect this to improve over time; it has to, for Glass to be viable.
Thirty-minutes of battery life? That's just nuts for any kind of consumer electronic, and it seems like lunacy for something that is supposed to be worn and integrated into daily experience.

Stories like this makes me seriously, seriously question the value of participating in any kind of online dialogue, weighed against the risk of one's whole life being exposed and attacked by malicious and misguided vigilantes. (See also crazy, off-the-charts hostility in response to any of a number of situations where — primarily — women have made sensible remarks about misogyny at PAX or in GTAV. It's a loony bin out there.)
More administrivia: Editorial and Koken
Using Editorial to streamline posting to this site as well as my other writing is just so satisfying. As always, check out what's going on at Macdrifter and MacStories for the true state of the art (because, dang, Gabe and Federico have it going on), but I thought I'd briefly note a couple of things that have made me happy lately.
I'm using Koken more and more for serving images, because it has such a great integration with Lightroom. Combined with Lightview it makes a nice system for flexible display of images here. Koken can serve cropped images, as in the Rt66 post below, that are blown up to full-size pop ups easily by Lightview. (I do need to tinker with the display size, and of course it's not responsive, and so but.)
So, for posting using the iPad, I built a small Editorial workflow to help place the combination Koken/Lightview calls. Koken has an easy to use embed option, but it produces an HTML snippet that I usually want to convert to markdown and wrap in a Lightview class; with a Koken image embed link on the clipboard, I can call this workflow, tap the selection for the type of link I want, and it removes the unwanted code, adds my specific parameters and then pastes into the document the properly-formatted markdown image tag and link. Nothing too complicated or sophisticated, but like I said, it's just very satisfying to be able to so quickly build something Iike that.
Route 66 Days
Some photos from a jaunt around this year's Route 66 Days car show. We picked a good time to explore it; our monsoon weather returned early in the afternoon and kept us bottled up inside for most of the rest of the day.
Seahorse on Line One
This is a fun conversation on The Incomparable about Saga, hitting almost all the things that I really like about it. There's an ease to the dialogue that is almost always at odds with the apparent otherworldliness of the scene, which cuts through the mostly-calamitous, everybody-is-in-peril story, and reminds me of Aaron Sorkin and Joss Whedon. And almost invariably those scenes close with something beautiful or poignant. It's good.
We're in the middle of a long weekend and I'm out and about with the camera quite a bit, including on a very rainy — strike that, absolutely soaking wet — adventure to the county fair.

Last year had circulated rumors that say if Samsung will launch the Samsung Galaxy S8 Mini, but it seems that the rumors did not really happen. Although this year Samsung has not launched a mini flagship variant, but for next year is likely to be a year of flagship birth with a smaller size after a few generations of Samsung did not launch a mini version.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini is expected to have a screen of 5 inches and using a curved display panel. There is no information about the aspect ratio to be used by this device, but it is expected that Samsung still maintains the 18.5: 9 Inifinity Display ratio as carried by the flagship smartphone that rolled out this year in 2017.

Would you recommend LinkedIn Influencers to a friend?
Just received my invite via email. Currently I publish my essays everywhere (personal blog, Medium, Svbtle, sometimes Quora). I'll start publishing to LinkedIn too to see how it compares.
@rrhoover Any results yet? Getting hard starting to focus on certain platforms. Got experience with Medium?
Interesting. @rrhoover can you share some insights how your blog, Medium & Svbtle perform in comparison?
Interesting. I have been reading a lot of post on LinkedIn lately. Would be interesting once it is rolled out to all users. @rrhoover How did you get your invite?
@michael_xander - TBH, it's unpredictable what will do well. Generally, more introspective piece or essays about writing do well on Medium. Svbtle generates 0 traffic unless it's highlighted on their homepage (which I believe Dustin or someone hand-picks / whitelists certain publishers). @akramquraishi - they just gave ~25k people access and will continue to roll it out to everyone over time.

Q: ACL settings not being inherited properly when creating sub directory I am trying to extend ACLs across sub directories that are being created under a parent but for some reason one of my groups is being switched to #effective r-x and the mask is being changed. Any ideas? is there some default umask?
Administrator@MyServer ~
$ setfacl -m d:u:Someuser:r-- somedir

Administrator@MyServer ~
$ getfacl somedir/
# file: somedir/
# owner: Administrator
# group: None
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:user1:r-x
group:user2:rwx
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:user1:r-x
default:group:user2:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x

-mkdir /somedir/somedir

Administrator@MyServer ~
$ getfacl somedir/somedir
# file: somedir/somedir
# owner: Administrator
# group: None
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:user1:r-x
group:user2:rwx      #effective:r-x
mask:r-x
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:user1:r-x
default:group:user2:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x

A: Are you absolutely sure that you have used mkdir somedir/somedir and not used the -poption like mkdir -p somedir/somedir ?
Because mkdir -p has a nasty bug on distribution <= 2014 (coreutils < 8.22), see Conflicts between ACLs and umask
The ACL entries applicable for subdirectories are default: and mask:
$ getfacl somedir/
default:group:user1:r-x
default:group:user2:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x

The default:mask:rwx, so the sub directory should have been:
group:user1:r-x
group:user2:rwx
mask:rwx

But mask is mask:r-x, so the permission lowered to r-x:
group:user2:rwx      #effective:r-x
mask:r-x

For a better understanding of the relation between Unix group permission and ACL, read Why does chmod(1) on the group affect the ACL mask?
Conclusion

*

*Don't use mkdir -p when you use ACLs (unless you run Debian/Jesise, RHEL7...)

*Fix your problem with chmod g+w somedir/somedir or setfacl -m mask:rwx somedir/somedir

Byron Scott on Nick Young: 'He's not here with us, mentally'
NBABy Alex Putterman on April 4, 2016 April 5, 2016
In some not-so-shocking news out of Los Angeles, Nick Young isn't full focused on basketball at the moment, at least according to Lakers coach Byron Scott.
Days after a video taken by Young's teammate D'Angelo Russell potentially jeopardized the forward's engagement to rapper Iggy Azalea, Scott has placed Young on the inactive list. Via ESPN:
"It has nothing to do with the chemistry," Scott said at practice Monday. "It has everything to do with just basketball. Right now, I know what he's going through, and I know it's hard on him. But he's not here with us, mentally, and there's no need for me to put him out there on the floor."
It figures that if Scott were trying to bench anyone for the sake of chemistry it would be Russell, who is reportedly being shunned by teammates, but it's a little misleading to say this decision is all about basketball. De-activating Young, who hasn't played in the Lakers' last 11 games, is clearly also about letting him deal with the ramifications of Russell's video.
"I was thinking about that for the game last night — who to put on the IR — and my first thought was Metta [World Peace]. But then I said, 'I can use Metta,'" Scott said. "It was strictly a basketball decision. It's all based on because I know how [Young]'s feeling right now. He's not really here with us."
"It's been tough," Scott said. "This is probably the icing on the cake, as far as how tough it can be. He didn't get off to a great start. His shooting has not been what it has been in the past. It went even a little downhill the last couple of months.
"The situation last week didn't help. We all, as coaches, players and everybody, feel for him and understand the situation he's in. It's a tough situation."
Young has been pretty awful this season, averaging a career-low 7.3 points per game while shooting only 33.9 percent from the field. The Lakers are reportedly ready to trade Young this offseason, which makes sense given that he's an inefficient chucker who might past his prime and who is in an irreconcilable feud with a franchise cornerstone. It may not be fair that Young is suffering professionally from Russell's mess-up (it probably is fair he's suffering personally), but that's how it goes.
In addition to the Russell fiasco, Young and teammate Jordan Clarkson are being investigated for harassing two women at a Hollywood intersection.
It feels unlikely that Young will be playing any more basketball this season (Scott:I don't know yet. Things can change), so he'll have ample opportunity to get all these off-court problems resolved.

The Nietzschean precedent for anti-reflective, dialogical agency
Alfano Mark
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 41 (2018)
Mark Alfano
John Doris and Friedrich Nietzsche have a lot in common. In addition to being provocative and humorous writers in their native idioms, they share a conception of human agency. It can be tiresome to point out the priority claims of an earlier philosopher, so I should say at the outset that I do so not to smugly insist that my guy got there first but to showcase a closely-allied perspective that may shed additional light and offer glimpses around blind corners. In particular, I argue that Nietzsche anticipates both the anti-reflective and the dialogical aspects of Doris's theory of agency.

The brother took his sister's hand and said to her, "Since our mother died we have had no good days; our stepmother beats us every day, and if we go near her she kicks us away; we have nothing to eat but hard crusts of bread left over; the dog under the table fares better," he gets a good piece every now and then. If our mother only knew, how she would pity us! Come, let us go together out into the wide world!" So they went, and journeyed the whole day through fields and meadows and stony places, and if it rained the sister said, "The skies and we are weeping together." In the evening they came to a great wood, and they were so weary with hunger and their long journey, that they climbed up into a high tree and fell asleep.
The next morning, when they awoke, the sun was high in heaven, and shone brightly through the leaves. Then said the brother, "Sister, I am thirsty; if I only knew where to find a brook, that I might go and drink! I almost think that I hear one rushing."
So the brother got down and led his sister by the hand, and they went to seek the brook. But their wicked stepmother was a witch, and had known quite well that the two children had run away, and had sneaked after them, as only witches can, and had laid a spell on all the brooks in the forest.
So when they found a little stream flowing smoothly over its pebbles, the brother was going to drink of it; but the sister heard how it said in its rushing, "He a tiger will be who drinks of me, Who drinks of me a tiger will be!"
Then the sister cried, "Pray, dear brother, do not drink, or you will become a wild beast, and will tear me in pieces."
So the brother refrained from drinking, though his thirst was great, and he said he would wait till he came to the next brook. When they came to a second brook the sister heard it say, "He a wolf will be who drinks of me, Who drinks of me a wolf will be!"
Then the sister cried, "Pray, dear brother, do not drink, or you will be turned into a wolf, and will eat me up!"
So the brother refrained from drinking, and said, "I will wait until we come to the next brook, and then I must drink, whatever you say; my thirst is so great."
And when they came to the third brook the sister heard how in its rushing it said, "Who drinks of me a fawn will be, He a fawn will be who drinks of me!"
Then the sister said, "O my brother, I pray drink not, or you will be turned into a fawn, and run away far from me."
And the sister wept over her poor lost brother, and the fawn wept also, and stayed sadly beside her. At last the maiden said, "Be comforted, dear fawn, indeed I will never leave you." Then she untied her golden girdle and bound it round the fawn's neck, and went and gathered rushes to make a soft cord, which she fastened to him; and then she led him on, and they went deeper into the forest. And when they had gone a long long way, they came at last to a little house, and the maiden looked inside, and as it was empty she thought, "We might as well live here." And she fetched leaves and moss to make a soft bed for the fawn, and every morning she went out and gathered roots and berries and nuts for herself, and fresh grass for the fawn, who ate out of her hand with joy, frolicking round her. At night, when the sister was tired, and had said her prayers, she laid her head on the fawn's back, which served her for a pillow, and softly fell asleep. And if only the brother could have got back his own shape again, it would have been a charming life.
So they lived a long while in the wilderness alone. Now it happened that the King of that country held a great hunt in the forest. The blowing of the horns, the barking of the dogs, and the lusty shouts of the huntsmen sounded through the wood, and the fawn heard them and was eager to be among them.
"Oh," said he to his sister," do let me go to the hunt; I cannot stay behind any longer," and begged so long that at last she consented.
"But mind," said she to him," come back to me at night. I must lock my door against the wild hunters, so, in order that I may know you, you must knock and say, ' Little sister, let me in,' and unless I hear that I shall not unlock the door." Then the fawn sprang out, and felt glad and merry in the open air. The King and his huntsmen saw the beautiful animal, and began at once to pursue him, but they could not come within reach of him, for when they thought they were certain of him he sprang away over the bushes and disappeared. As soon as it was dark he went back to the little house, knocked at the door, and said, "Little sister, let me in." Then the door was opened to him, and he went in, and rested the whole night long on his soft bed.
The next morning the hunt began anew, and when the fawn heard the hunting-horns and the tally-ho of the huntsmen he could rest no longer, and said, "Little sister, let me out, I must go"
The sister opened the door and said, "Now, mind you must come back at night and say the same words." When the King and his hunters saw the fawn with the golden collar again, they chased him closely, but he was too nimble and swift for them. This lasted the whole day, and at last the hunters surrounded him, and one of them wounded his foot a little, so that he was obliged to limp and to go slowly. Then a hunter slipped after him to the little house, and heard how he called out," Little sister, let me in," and saw the door open and shut again after him directly., The hunter noticed all this carefully, went to the King, and told him all he had seen and heard. Then said the King, "To-morrow we will hunt again."
But the sister was very terrified when she saw that her fawn was wounded. She washed his foot, laid cooling leaves round it, and said," Lie down on your bed, dear fawn, and rest, that you may be soon well." The wound was very slight, so that the fawn felt nothing of it the next morning. And when he heard the noise of the hunting outside, he said, "I cannot stay in, I must go after them; I shall not be taken easily again!"
The sister began to weep, and said, "I know you will be killed, and I left alone here in the forest, and forsaken of everybody. I cannot let you go!"
"Then I shall die here with longing," answered the fawn;" when I hear the sound of the horn I feel as if I should leap out of my skin."
Then the sister, seeing there was no help for it, unlocked the door with a heavy heart, and the fawn bounded away into the forest, well and merry.
When the King saw him, he said to his hunters, "Now, follow him up all day long till the night comes, and see that you do him no hurt." So as soon as the sun had gone down, the King said to the huntsmen:" Now, come and show me the little house in the wood." And when he got to the door he knocked at it, and cried, "Little sister, let me in!" Then the door opened, and the King went in, and there stood a maiden more beautiful than any he had seen before. The maiden shrieked out when she saw, instead of the fawn, a man standing there with a gold crown on his head. But the King looked kindly on her, took her by the hand, and said, "Will you go with me to my castle, and be my dear wife?"
"Oh yes," answered the maiden, "but the fawn must come too. I could not leave him." And the King said, "He shall remain with you as long as you live, and shall lack nothing." Then the fawn came bounding in, and the sister tied the cord of rushes to him, and led him by her own hand out of the little house.
The King put the beautiful maiden on his horse, and carried her to his castle, where the wedding was held with great pomp; so she became lady Queen, and they lived together happily for a long while; the fawn was well tended and cherished, and he gambolled about the castle garden. Now the wicked stepmother, whose fault it was that the children were driven out into the world, never dreamed but that the sister had been eaten up by wild beasts in the forest, and that the brother, in the likeness of a fawn, had been slain by the hunters. But when she heard that they were so happy, and that things had gone so well with them, jealousy and envy arose in her heart, and left her no peace, and her chief thought was how to bring misfortune upon them. Her own daughter, who was as ugly as sin, and had only one eye, complained to her, and said, "I never had the chance of being a Queen."
"Never mind," said the old woman, to satisfy her;" when the time comes, I shall be at hand." After a while the Queen brought a beautiful baby-boy into the world, and that day the King was out hunting. The old witch took the shape of the bedchamber woman, and went into the room where the Queen lay, and said to her, "Come, the bath is ready; it will give you refreshment and new strength. Quick, or it will be cold." Her daughter was within call, so they carried the sick Queen into the bath-room, and left her there. And in the bath-room they had made a great fire, so as to suffocate the beautiful young Queen.
When that was managed, the old woman took her daughter, put a cap on her, and laid her in the bed in the Queen's place, gave her also the Queen's form and countenance, only she could not restore the lost eye. So, in order that the King might not remark it, she had to lie on the side where there was no eye. In the evening, when the King came home and heard that a little son was born to him, he rejoiced with all his heart, and was going at once to his dear wife's bedside to see how she did. Then the old woman cried hastily, "For your life, do not draw back the curtains, to let in the light upon her; she must be kept quiet." So the King went away, and never knew that a false Queen was lying in the bed.
Now, when it was midnight, and every one was asleep, the nurse, who was sitting by the cradle in the nursery and watching there alone, saw the door open, and the true Queen come in. She took the child out of the cradle, laid it in her bosom, and fed it. Then she shook out its little pillow, put the child back again, and covered it with the coverlet. She did not forget the fawn either: she went to him where he lay in the corner, and stroked his back tenderly. Then she went in perfect silence out at the door, and the nurse next morning asked the watchmen if any one had entered the castle during the night, but they said they had seen no one.
And the Queen came many nights, and never said a word; the nurse saw her always, but she did not dare speak of it to any one.
Twice more I come, and then the end must be."
Once more I come, and then the end must be."
This once I come, and now the end must be."
Then the King could contain himself no longer, but rushed towards her, saying, "You are no other than my dear wife!"
Then she answered, "Yes, I am your dear wife," and in that moment, by the grace of heaven, her life returned to her, and she was once more well and strong. Then she told the King the snare that the wicked witch and her daughter had laid for her.
The King had them both brought to judgment, and sentence was passed upon them. The daughter was sent away into the wood, where she was devoured by the wild beasts, and the witch was burned, and ended miserably. And as soon as her body was in ashes the spell was removed from the fawn, and he took human shape again; and then the sister and brother lived happily together until the end.


Toronto, ON, Canada, November 22, 2018 – Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. ("Orpyx") is proud to announce its CEO & President, Dr. Breanne Everett has been named a Women's Executive Network (WXN) 2018 Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Award Winner presented by KPMG.
The list of Top 100 Winners was released today, paying tribute to the outstanding women across Canada who have advocated for diversity in the workforce, and who serve as an inspiration for the next generation of leaders.
During her residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Everett was regularly involved in the care of patients with diabetes requiring advanced wound care for foot complications, and in many cases, surgical amputation of their feet and limbs. She saw a better way and wanted to build a healthier future where something as simple as a small wound on the foot wouldn't have to proceed to loss of a limb. In 2012, Dr. Everett took a leave of absence from her residency, founding Orpyx with the vision of creating a device that could be used to prevent and treat these dreaded complications of diabetes, while simultaneously earning her MBA though Calgary's Haskayne School of Business.
Dr. Everett rapidly assembled and inspired a world class team to execute on that vision, pioneering a solution with the development of multiple patent families related to new medical technologies in the emerging fields of digital wound healing. Spearheading financing, clinical trials, and customer development, she paces the organization with relentless intensity.
"I am thrilled to receive the WXN Canada's Most Powerful Women Top 100 Award. The WXN recognizes the great talent and skills of female leaders in Canada's innovation economy, and I am truly honoured to be acknowledged alongside so many influential women in leadership and entrepreneurs." said Dr. Everett.
"We are celebrating 100 of Canada's highest achieving women in diverse fields," said Sherri Stevens, CEO of WXN. "All 100 are role models for the generations who will follow – which is why it's very important to recognize and celebrate their great achievements," Mrs. Stevens concluded.
Dr. Everett joins a prestigious community of past Award Winners including Canada's most iconic women trailblazers: Margaret Atwood, best-selling author, Dr. Roberta Bondar, astronaut, Arlene Dickinson, chief executive officer, Venture Communications, Christine Magee, president, Sleep Country Canada, Michaëlle Jean, former governor general of Canada, Heather Reisman, founder and CEO, Indigo Books & Music, and Kathleen Taylor, chair of the board, Royal Bank of Canada.
