One of the biggest obstacles for adoption of Angular in the enterprise is technical, but not of the nature that one could expect.

It's hard to convince our boss to use Angular in our next project if we can't even install it in our own PC ;-) ! We would probably want to do an early demo or prototype to get things started.

But many companies have corporate proxies and security policies that make tools like npm hard to try out for the first time.

One of the biggest features of AngularJs is that it does not come necessarily with all the tooling ecosystem, and can be used via simple script tags. Angular 2 and beyond in principle can also, but we really want to use it together with Typescript, the Angular CLI, Webpack and all the tooling ecosystem.

These notes summarize some of my discoveries (re-)learning GNU Emacs. Since these are my personal notes, it may help to briefly describe my background. I used Emacs on Unix from somewhere around 1990 until 1995. Then in 1995 I began using Windows as my primary operating system and stopped using Emacs. In 2010 I decided to give Emacs on Windows another try. I may not mention some basic things just because I remember them from my initial experience.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.

Argument Maps

Argument mapping is producing "boxes and arrows" diagrams of reasoning, especially complex arguments and debates. Argument mapping improves our ability to articulate, comprehend and communicate reasoning, thereby promoting critical thinking.

You can think argument mappings as visual hierarchy mappings.

Arguman.org’s aim is arguments to be mapped successfully by many users.

Book

The Dispossessed has been described by political thinker Andre Gorz as 'The most striking description I know of the seductions--and snares--of self-managed communist or, in other words, anarchist society.' To date, however, the radical social, cultural, and political ramifications of Le Guin's multiple award-winning novel remain woefully under explored. Editors Laurence Davis and Peter Stillman right this state of affairs in the first ever collection of original essays devoted to Le Guin's novel. Among the topics covered in this wide-ranging, international and interdisciplinary collection are the anarchist, ecological, post-consumerist, temporal, revolutionary, and open-ended utopian politics of The Dispossessed. The book concludes with an essay by Le Guin written specially for this volume, in which she reassesses the novel in light of the development of her own thinking over the past 30 years.

"Perhaps I can express my gratitude best by saying that reading [these essays] left me knowing far better than I knew before how I wrote the book and why I wrote it as I did . They have restored the book to me as I conceived it, not as an exposition of ideas but as an embodiment of idea - a revolutionary artifact, a work containing a potential permanent source of renewal of thought and perception, like a William Morris design, or the Bernard Maybeck house I grew up in . This is criticism as I first knew it, serious, responsive, and jargon-free. I honor it as an invaluable aid to reading, my own text as well as others."
-Ursula K. Le Guin, from the Response
