Just use it a lot. During university I reached a point where I wrote everything in Emacs and appreciated the fact that whatever I was working on (Code, terminal, articles) I could switch over to something else without having to switch context in my mind. (Keyboard shortcuts, macros and formatting options stayed the same.)

Don't worry at the start about default options or the Right Way(tm), these things are likely to distract you to begin with. You probably will find yourself gradually adopting them. Make emacs a comfortable editor for your own way of working - It is intended to be extendible and configurable for this reason.

As to a module for teaching... When you run extended commands using M-x (Alt-x) it should tell you if there is a shortcut bound to that command. If it doesn't or you miss it then maybe the following functions will be helpful:

M-x where-is [C-h w] Type a command and it will tell you the key shortcut (if any)

M-x describe-key [C-h k] Type a key shortcut and it will tell you the command it is bound to

M-x describe-function [C-h f] Provides details about the function you specify
Similar story with Picasso...
Some guy told Picasso he’d pay him to draw a picture on a napkin. Picasso whipped out a pen and banged out a sketch, handed it to the guy, and said, “One million dollars, please.” “A million dollars?” the guy exclaimed. “That only took you thirty seconds!” “Yes,” said Picasso. “But it took me fifty years to learn how to draw that in thirty seconds.
To increase the value of ending up on a Top 10 or Top 100, they should provide purchasers with more opportunity for exposure, including logotypes, presentations and links to websites.
>> In corporate dev you get promoted for doing everything to the letter not something new and exciting. I've seen pages with more than 100 checkboxes on them and arranged in a grid, it was like someone when mental with excel putting a checkbox in every cell.

That is because organizations have their own set of company rules/policies that you have to follow to the letter. Mess one up and you end up being scolded or worst, fired. People that don't have enterprise experience often say things like development should be "fun" and "exciting" without considering that working in an enterprise means that you have to develop "Business Applications" not web 2.0 stuff. This means less graphics, more business rules to follow and tons of reports to generate. At the end of the day what matters is that the accounting department or HR people used the system correctly based on standard policies of the company.
the cheaper your hourly rate is, the less that people respect you, simple.

If you have a spare machine, you can use WanEm http://wanem.sourceforge.net/ livecd. WanEm gives you a nice web interface to configure network parameters. I have used it successfully to check effects of latency on Lotus Notes on Windows.
I bought Land of Lisp recently (haven't got round to starting it yet), but a quick search of the PDF only shows a couple of mentions of emacs...
Or even simpler, just upload your .emacs (even better, all the dot-files) to github so you can load or clone them anytime.

Again, I would say good timing. They tapped in on teh fact that people like watching gameplay videos and they built a great system that made it easy for people to use what were becoming affordable video capture frontends to publish live streams.

And its a niche, but it's in a sense, a way more accessible niche than watching a random person lifecast. You're watching someone game. Which isn't that different from watching people play sports on TV.
> Currently DSD uses authorized_keys as a quick-and-easy method for persistence against certain *nix targets.

Good to know.
Time for a security audit of every authorized_keys file I maintain.
> The radio is the most obvious addition that reaps benefits without adding risks.

What benefits, exactly? And why do you think that the pilot is really going to make a call to the ground, which won't save anyone, instead of continuing to try to enter the cockpit, which may have a remote chance of succeeding?
There's an easy fix for that.

"We have classified your service (Skype, whatever) as 'telecommunications' and unless you give us this stuff without a warrant we're going to start arresting your folks in-country and work on extraditing your executives"

Due process averted.
I realize you're trolling but you might have just as well asked "why should only people with good credit be able to buy houses?" That might make the fault in that reasoning a bit more clear. It isn't "rich people" who get to invest as it is "people who understand the risks and are prepared for them" get to invest in "untested companies".

The "accredited investor" rules are an imperfect but functional selection mechanism to select for 'understand risks' and they also add the defense that once you lose enough money to fall below that standard you lose the opportunity to keep playing.

Further, anyone, in the US at least, can become a "rich person" by investing in publicly traded companies (or real estate for that matter) prior to investing in non-public companies. Many thousands have.

And finally, I grew up in Vegas and watched it kill people. Mostly people who managed their pennies and saved their savings. And took a vacation to Vegas and if they were very unlucky won a enough money to pay for their vacation on their first visit to a casino. Then went home broke, sometimes bankrupt. There were enough of those people that it left a mark on me. My buddy in high school who worked at a gas station which was on the the way to I-15 to head back to Los Angeles would have sales guys offering to trade him the demo units they had brought to a convention for a tank of gas to get back to the office.

The trick was you had to actually get there, nobody from a casino called you up and started asking you to play games of chance. And all the games are generally playable at home with your own cards or your own dice. So people can get a feel for just how impossible it is to win long term at those games.

No, this isn't about "rich people" and it isn't about "going somewhere to gamble." This is about enabling a class of unscrupulous people a nominally legal framework for stealing from people who can neither afford, nor effectively defend against it.
You really should read the link you're citing.

You and me both :) Ironically, even analytics companies can have cobbler's shoes syndrome. Good analytics is a journey, not a destination.
blessed is an amazing engineering work! I hoped the name blessed-contrib to show the project roots.

termui is built upon termbox-go in a similar way that blessed-contrib builds on blessed, which is why I found them similar.
Security can require that. Various SpaceX employees are going to have to have or get clearances, and I'm sure there's rules about who can manage them and how.
Not far enough. Why not make an inflatable habitat? Two layers of flexible material with a meter of water between (to block radiation). Cone-shaped, more-rigid bottom (perhaps made rigid by ice), towed by a nuclear rocket on the other end of a 1km cable to avoid fallout from exhaust. Live in a large, lighted, artificial-gravity hotel while travelling to Mars.
I'm not sure what timescale Elon thinks this company is on, but even that first point is probably much further away than any new product team at Google could survive for (and no this is not a "Google is ADHD" joke, although that is also kinda true).

Additionally, an implant is pretty damn invasive. So some cute demos or niche consumer applications are not going to cut it.

IMO the two possible paths here are either this will be an R&D money sink for our entire lifetimes (maybe funded by Elon for fun, maybe some government grants, etc.) or they will primarily operate as a medical device company.

The implants they are developing are definitely a tech improvement, so they could realistically improve existing DBS treatments. The company could also work on their own novel DBS paradigms for treatment of specific diseases. A lot of DBS (especially for psychiatric diseases like OCD) is currently rudimentary AND we have a poor understanding of why it even sort of works. But it does clearly work for at least some subset of patients, so there are real avenues for continued development.
See what you did there...
It’s remarkable just how active fungi are in their respective biomes. They seem like passive growths which inhabit decaying materials from afar, but up close, you discover that they’re entwined in virtually all life cycles, quite actively, and they’re absolutely essential to day to day life as we know it.

One of the best things I ever did was go to a seminar on mushroom picking 20 years ago. It opened up my eyes to a whole new world. After reading this I have a sense of amazement at what fungi are capable of, but I’m not surprised at all. The more you dig into it, the more you discover how crazy that world is. Fungus is really cool.
This is indeed the key distinction - the author did strictly refer to CI, and for that their argument works, but that's essentially strawmanning as IMHO most people who are using CI don't care about "pure CI", they want (and get) CI/CD from "CI tools" so CI/CD is the actual thing that should be compared with build systems.
Only 150 people with 35 intubated. There are several factors that could explain (at least part of) their results and one is age. They do mention that age denotes a statistically significant difference between intubation and no intubation under Table 1.

It is not easy to tell but depends on how you read this it could be that they had some data and they went fishing. You can always find correlations by fishing through the data and looking for when does the p-value become low enough [0] but its not a valid way to do data analysis.
It is also data from one hospital and one region. I don't think you can draw too many conclusion from this one study.

It is published in a journal with impact factor of 6.36 and a metabolic journal. If this was a significant finding I would think they would publish in a higher impact factor journal.

So overall it calls for some skepticism.

It may also be helpful to share some details on effective ways to be curious. I’m a curious person too, but in the early days I just didn’t know where to start.

My advice:
- There is no defined learning path yet (to my knowledge).
- Start by reading the GitHub readme of technology in these articles (ex: nginx or kubernetes).
- If interested, try to spin up a tutorial app.
- Try to make something useful. Maybe this is a spin on a tutorial, or something novel. This is the hardest but best way to learn.

Finally, I’ll add that many folks learn these skills on the job either directly or having worked in proximity to new tech. It does seem this was how the author learned.

Hope that helps! I’m sure others will have great advice, too!
It's fine if you make the changes backwards compatible a version. And in general, any change can be done in a backwards compatible way (although it can be a PITA)
CentOS isn't dead.
What kind of cultivation do you do?

I wondered about protein content as well. It would be great to be able to produce a mushroom with respectable protein content. It seems like a stretch, though.
Do they buy a CRM tool, or do they just license the use of one? My understanding is that it's almost impossible to really "buy" and "own" commercial software, you can only acquire a license to use it.
Would be interesting to see any correlation between personality type and areas that have fluoridated water supplies.
Maybe creativity has less to do with your frame of mind, and more to do with creating opportunities to come up with novel / interesting solutions to problems. If youre angry then youre removing some internal barriers to complacency. If youre happy you feel positive about yourself and give your thoughts and pondering more worthwhile attention. If youre bored you ruminate and your mind becomes preoccupied with some track of thought.

The routine, seeing the same people, constant distraction style of living we're all so used to doesnt seem to provide us with those opportunities.
That's true, but they recently deported a few Russian travel guides in Pattaya despite saying that they would allow them to work a few months before.

The law is really flexible in Thailand. What's unenforced today could be enforced tomorrow.
Well, this in itself seems like a good reason for me to install it.
By reading the article I would have thought it would be possible to walk down the street while pointing at a house and the device would show if/where someone is hiding but after reading this FAQ I don't think this device is working so well as people expect.

Maybe in houses with wooden walls but not in buildings with thick brick or concrete steal enhanced walls. They even recommend to press the device against the wall/floor to get the best results. This means that the device can be used to see if somebody is behind a specific wall but not just somewhere in the house a couple of rooms away.
Most low-probability, high-impact events are un-predictable by definition. Only in hindsight do they appear obvious.
This has to do with many factors such as the narrative fallacy and confirmation bias, which Taleb describes as the Black Swan.

That being said, here a few high-impact (moderately low probability) events that could be on the horizon.

* Northern California Earthquake
* Israel v Iran Nuclear Conflict that triggers WW3
* Singularity

Isn't the worst case global warming scenario a sea level rise of a few centimeters over the next thirty years. Flooding of major cities sounds highly unlikely.
This is the problem with the whole concept of risk: because your chances of suffering a car accident are actually relatively high when compared with all sorts of other risks.

On a scale of things unlikely enough that most people never have one a car accident is pretty near the bottom.
If there is a 45 day limit to file a claim with google, then yes, 4-6 weeks is too long.

Thanks so much for the feedback guys. My initial post was bullheaded and a direct emotional reaction.

I thought that I was educating my readers on how to properly message something that could be conceived as negative and instead I was slamming a great theme author.
Native Java libraries on the JVM accessed from Jython are unlikely to be any faster than C libraries accessed from CPython. Of course, YMMV.
It would be nice to be able to filter people based on some sort of tag. For example, I'm interested in learning programming in Python, but not programming in Lisp right now.

For Design, I guess this might involve the tools they use? Photoshop, InDesign, etc. (This might be a gibberish example - I'm not a designer.)

It took me a little bit to figure out that I could see the bios of other people by hovering over their name. It might be beneficial to add a default tooltip to those without something entered... something like "This user has a blank bio." It would also be good to provide a hint that that hover information is there - I did not expect it and only found it by accident.
Its worth pointing out that Etacts no longer uses passwords, but uses Gmail's oAuth. I seem to remember that they were its firsts user, I think.
Luckily, HN also has many flaggers.
Hi roel_v,

In our experience we have found that there ARE spaces available for companies such as Chris' that have little idea of where they will be in 6 months time. At the end of the day, startups and becoming more and more commonplace and the demand for space with contract flexibility is going up with it. It is up to landlords and operators of space to decide how they react to this. They can either ignore it, leave the space open until their find their 5 yr client. Or they can attach a slight premium to the space and rent it for a more flexible term.

In general, we have found that space operators and landlords and increasingly accommodating for this and are attaching a risk premium. It may not be as high as 40% but there is something there. They achieve this by paying rent on a sq ft basis, but letting out the space on a per desk basis. If you do the maths, you can achieve a relatively attractive spread assuming x% occupancy.

We believe that Spacious can help liquidity in the market by making landlords and space operators confident that if they react to shorter contract lengths, they won't have to worry about long periods of vacancy as a potential tenant would be able to find them easily.
There's a bunch of lovely gems scattered through the Atom repos. Some of my favorites from a first quick glance:

Biscotto — A CoffeeScript API documentation generator based on TomDoc notation:

http://atom.github.io/biscotto/

React-Coffee — A little glue that makes Facebook's React easy to use from CoffeeScript without having to resort to JSX:

https://github.com/atom/react-coffee

SpacePen: A minimalist view library for jQuery, allowing custom methods, super calls, HTML-building, subviews, and easy event binding:

http://atom.github.io/space-pen/

... and the best bit about this bonanza is that everything is really quite readable. Keep up the good work, Kevin.
To put "often" in context, I raised a Github issue on it today which was resolved within a few hours, it's improving incredibly quickly (and it's already awesome).
my Facebook stream has lately been filled with people copying and pasting 27bslash6 posts to their buzz feed clones.

i don't know, is them keeping the real names, such as david thorne in them without reference to the original fair use?

in academia this would be considered plagiarism i recon(but i may be wrong), while quoting the source wouldn't.

at the same time someone below said by the definition of the word it's not stealing because they don't take it away from you. but in a legal sense that statement might be incorrect since if they're getting more buzz they could be stealing the attribution. just like edison never really stole a light bulb, but he very well stole the fame of the light bulb.
If I have it right, WPS (wifi protected setup, right?) results in sharing the password (i.e., in practice it is only ever used with PSK and attacks recover the key).

Conceptually, device bonding seems like the right way for consumers but WPS doesn't do it very well.
It seems EFF's HTTPS Everywhere is not picking it up.

I agree, when you refrase the question as: Is it OK for Airlines to cheat on you if it makes them money?, it shows that this is not a dilemma of morals but one of opportunities.
Thanks for your feedback!

Voting and commenting is definitely planned, however I'm waiting on the API to add support for authentication first. The app actually does not use the API since it's somewhat lacking right now [1] so it scrapes the markup instead, but I'm not quite comfortable with implementing login/voting/commenting by scraping.

You can collapse comments by tapping anywhere outside the text area, i.e. on the author/time header or on the margins to the left and right. I'm sorry that's not obvious, I'll probably add a message explaining it in the next update.

Probably pot should just be completely legalized and made into a taxable commodity like alcohol. Kill it as a revenue source for gangs.

One thing, though; when it's illegal, police find it a convenient way to bust a known baddie and get them off the streets. Take that away and they lose a valuable tool.
Adam Langley's Pond uses it, but I don't know why there hasn't been any progress on that lately. Is the Pond design just too complex/difficult to implement with a good UI, or just because of his lack of time?

I've never made close to 35K. I've been self-sufficient for the last 4 years or so, and I was living on roughly $17k for most of that, and I'm living comfortably on $24k right now.

I mean, Pittsburgh is a cheap city, but still, I live in the city. If I lived in the 'burbs I could do it for less. Well, maybe not, needing a car would probably make up the savings in other expenses.

You can't write about the people who weren't hired... There's a strong selection effect here.
While I'm not in favor of warrantless wiretapping or GPS tracking, I'd appreciate you elaborating on your claim that they're twisting logic until it nearly breaks. Unfortunately, this request seems like another step down a slippery slope and not a huge break.

People at DOJ aren't perverted, they're trying to protect you and the country from criminals and terrorists. This is but one of many tools they feel they need to do that job well. You may disagree with their mission, and you may disagree with the tools they use to execute the mission, but calling the people working there "perverted" is an enormous stretch.

Many services, including ones lauded on YC, collect data about you that could be used to track you at any time without a warrant, and give that capability to other civilians. I hope that you think that is perverted, too.

Node.js is looking like a cotdamn CV goldmine. Bear in mind that most industry people have never even heard of it (never mind most HR people!), and the stuff it lets you do is pretty appealing. And would take a lot of work in other frameworks.

I need to cook up a few of these for myself. Not sure if they'll come out as nice as this though.
Also, get a mentor, and some like minded people to share code reviews with.

And not only write code, but also read code.

And debugging is actually a more useful skill than writing new code, and comes in handy far more often. It also tends to be more painful. But where there's mud, there's brass.
