I highly recommend this to anyone interested in vim. Vim-adventures is how I got into using vim as my main editor.

Also for the people complaining about the 6 month access, I get your point but I think this is meant to be just an easy introduction to vim, not a tool for mastering it. I played this for only like a month or two and after I knew enough to start using vim as my main editor I hardly ever touched it again. I haven't even finished the game.

More than iOS and Android SDKs?

Most coffee vessels ARE insulated, or at least have low thermal conductivity.

u/computer explained the buffer effect nicely. You're right that the keeping it hot part might be insignificant.
When I pay someone $3000 for the day, I expect them to arrive in two hours in a fucking G6.
Nice. In the older editors, I always had trouble figuring out how to categorize points of interest. For example making a node a restaurant/bank/etc was always a hit or miss operation. Most of them wouldn't stick, if they even had one that made sense. I hope that's been fixed.
The Cocoa API is pretty well thought out, generally well-documented, and pretty well-engineered.

I agree, their APIs are generally very nice. But the last few releases of OS X haven't been great. Multi-monitor support will finally be fixed in 10.9, after having been broken in 10.7 and 10.8. Also, recent releases have become very slow. A 2009 Mac Mini running 10.8 is unbearably slow, while the same machine is on 10.6 is almost as fast as a recent machine machine with a SSD on 10.8.
I agree on the point about 'stuff not being worth as much any more', though this may be a UK centric viewpoint. Housing has just dwarved everything else.

The entire contents of a typical flat I've inhabited would have a resale value of about one month's rent if sold for the best price possible.

If you went for just the big ticket items and sold them on the black market you'd likely get less than a week.

Tangible assets are becoming devalued compared to intangibles (rights to things rather than mere possession; homeownership, bank accounts, etcetera).
Total bull. This story reads like pure drug war propaganda. Go promote your fear and hate somewhere else. if this is even a real story, which it most likely isn't, then I'm sure your "friend" had a mental illness. You're harming everyone by blaming LSD and drugs on this guys death. While your at it you should put the blame on the apartment building for being too high.
4 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD sounds like a hand-me-down I'd get from my grandma, not a new cutting edge laptop. What exactly justifies that cost?
> The dispute in this case is the state is demanding he allow people to walk across his private land to get the comparatively tiny public land.

A right of access secured both by the Article X of the California Constitution and the Coastal Act, and a public access requirement well-known to the market when Khosla purchased the property, and whose impact was factored into the market price when he bought it.
'I could see someone go through the 100 SMS very quickly in a "conversation" where the imaginary person has to answer a bunch of short texts like "yes", "and you", etc.'

I read this as "NHL partners with GoPro to deliver fans' unique perspectives of the game" and thought that would be very boring.
when in doubt, consult the data :) Thanks for sharing.
I'm the main inventor. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback!

You are actually right, similar ideas have already been proposed before. The main novelty here is that the algorithm adapts not only the channel (center frequency), but also the bandwidth (i.e., the actual amount of spectrum that is consumed).

Adapting the bandwidth gives a precious additional degree of freedom; in particular, in a case with many competing WLANs, the algorithm would typically tend to reduce the bandwidth consumed by each WLAN (assuming the interfering WLANs are not idle and actually sending traffic). Reducing the bandwidth potentially reduces the available capacity (if you were alone), but it's still much more efficient than letting Wi-Fi use the time domain to avoid interference, so it results in increased throughput compared to current situations.

It turns out that adapting the bandwidth is becoming a necessity, because newer versions of Wi-Fi consume more and more bandwidth. This is better if you are alone, but may be harmful if you have many neighbors.
He said classic arcade games, which we'll put at the early 80's. Those have been working in in MAME since the Pentium II days.
I started googling around to find a definition for "Mandela effect" and came across some people with some rather odd views on quantum mechanics. That was bizarre.

I love this blog.

The 18th century mac and cheese from this blog[1] has caused me to change my default mac and cheese recipe, substituting eggs for heavy cream, since I always have eggs but hate to be bothered to buy heavy cream (and then forget about it for weeks if I don't use it). Other times I'll make bechamel (flour/butter/milk) and add eggs at the end anyway. I still dress the mac up more than the ancient recipe (cayenne powder, nutmeg, cumin are usually a minimum), but switching in or just adding eggs never occurred to me and is surprisingly delightful.

I think the clone I'm semi-remembering was a PC game. Regarding your second question: There were very many unlicensed Nintendo games. I don't know how many of these Nintendo fought. They very famously battled Tengen over this issue in the courts.
Not the same thing. Banks are insured against robbery and theft, so if something like that happens, customers don't lose their money. In addition, there's an insane amount of fraud protection in the banking industry, and billions of dollars of vested interests to make sure criminals are caught and prosecuted.

Can you say the same about cloud services?
Really enjoyed this! Although, I did get killed right away after spawning. Maybe make the spawn zone a temporary safe zone while new players figure out the controls or so current players can't camp out?
Maybe there is a serious problem.

The problem is the exact opposite. The unmotivated time servers fill unnecessary positions created by the ambitious climbers. Doing a better job would likely make the problem worse as the bureaucracy expands to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.
But what will you do if people aren't telling you exactly how to run your life and your setup? I certainly appreciate the effort and will be digging into this. I'm so sick of the tyranny. I've started my own 'disconnect' plan, and this is giving me a lot of ideas. I've already deleted Facebook, Amazon (that was a hard one), and well on my way to independence. Google is next, and like another commenter I'm using Proton mail now exclusively. Kudos for your efforts to help those of us that are really struggling right now - much appreciated.
wouldn't mean there wouldn't be any rolling back by consensus since there is nothing to roll back in case of an issue? Wouldn't the software have to perfectly retain state in the present since it always deletes old transactions?
Probably out of topic, but are there real examples of compiler attacks due to bootstrapping ?

Great question. The key is to position your questions of being indicative of commitment and excitement, and part of a measured pace of engagement, rather than skepticism. I like the line about being an investor. Here's a script you can steal from mercilessly.

I've spent many hours with your team, and we've covered a ton of topics: the technology, the vision, the product, the market, and the opportunity. I'm completely sold on all these points. There's just one area we haven't covered, and that's the positioning and goals of the business itself. I'm in this for the long haul and I think of myself as an investor, so I have a bunch of detailed questions for you about the company's finances and plans. Of course, I realize it's very bad for all of us if this information goes out, so I understand if you need me to sign an (additional) nondisclosure agreement before we get in to it. But knowing this will help me understand where we've been and where we're going, as well as reinforcing my gut feel that what you're offering represents a meaningful stake in this business going forward.

Good luck. ;)
It's not a product, it's a demo he hacked up to see if it was worth pursuing.

Check out this query:

You could go one better by handling:
"inside man release date"
"inside man gross revenue"
"inside man starring"
The problem is that "face" is a quite common word by itself, they didn't make it up or pick it from some obscure source like "google" or "yahoo". It's outrageous to claim ownership of a word on the whole Web centuries after it entered the language, regardless of their popularity at this moment. What's next, YouTube trademarking the use of "you" ?

(On second thoughts that wouldn't be so bad; I'm sick of all the wannabe you*.com trying to piggyback on a silly name)
I'm going to take the opposite position of most commenters here and decry the fact that almost all programming languages get arithmetic wrong.

Adding two positive numbers should never result in a negative number. Adding a one to an integer should result in the next largest integer.

There are new languages created all the time that don't have built-in support for arbitrary precision integers or rational numbers. They might have some neat ideas, but if your language can't even get arithmetic right, it's garbage.

> Exactly how does a DLP system help a company whose employees are allowed to use iPhones for company mail, when company mail is streaked through with protected information like bacon is with pig fat?

Exactly, it doesn't!

If you have data that is important enough for leakage control at the edge of your network, then it must not be accessible outside of your controlled systems at all.

An employee's personal phone is never a controlled system for the purposes of this policy.

After all, what if the phone isn't stolen, but infected by a data-stealing virus during the employee's personal use?
As if there aren't enough suggestions on where to buy tea, I get all mine through SevenCups (http://www.sevencups.com/) and TeaSpring (http://teaspring.com/). Both companies are excellent. SevenCups has a few very nice sampler packs.

I've been kind of annoyed how long TeaSpring has been out of Bai Mu Dan, though. It's is incredible. They specialize in Chinese tea. So if that's your thing, check them out.

Hey there,

My comment was -indeed- actually trying to be educative, at least it was my goal.

In my phrase I should have stated that I was referring to many people that spend most of the day in boards like this one, I made a mistake and generalised in my statement.

> "This is something that people in these boards should value a lot more"

should be:

> "This is something that a lot of people in these boards should value a lot more".

I'm guessing it's bluetooth low energy, which I believe you can run off of a small battery for around a year.
I had that reaction too... though I suspect that in "real life", geek students didn't consider this a revelation, just a good approach. Anyone who writes anything down in mathy notation in a hollywood movie is a "genius", worthy of mysterious background music.
Isn't part of the problem that the current wifi encryption standards require client authentication in order to get encryption, but don't normally provide any authentication of the AP. In other words, in order to get a WPA2 encrypted connection I have to provide at least a passphrase (which is a barrier in a public setting), yet I have no assurance that I'm connected to a trusted access point, as opposed to a rogue AP.
Maybe what's needed is something more like HTTPS, where by default the client doesn't need to authenticate, but the certificate provides some assurance that you're connected to the correct site.
Heysan is another one based on a job posting where they were looking for a CodeIgniter developer in 2007. They have since been eaten up by another company so I don't know what they have going now.

I'm not going to play the PHP bashing game. PHP is a tool and I'm neutral on tools. They are in my tool box and I grab the one best suited for the job. As a professional web developer, sometimes I have the luxury of my own choice, sometimes I don't.

Also, I don't see how developing a deployment tool because the existing tools fall short of your needs is an indication of poor language choice.

Anyways, all you have to do is a Google search to answer your own question. I found two in a quick search, I could probably find more.
While I am in general rather critical of most methods employed by the US in recent years, in this case the situation is quite different.

If you sign up for the US military and then as a soldier commit what may very well be seen as an act of treason, you can't really expect great treatment.

Mind you, this is very, very different from what goes on in Guantanamo, for which there is no justification.
Of course, most users have never even heard of VPNs. Does anyone offer easy-to-use VPN services to end users? If not, is that a potential business opportunity? (Not that I have a clue on how to make money at it. I can't imagine getting users to pay.)
He's on Prevention of Injury watch in a Supermax prison. I'm not familiar with US rules, but on suicide watch in a high security UK prison you're not usually allowed to exercise. This is partly because there's a risk you may be able to overpower guards, but also because you can injure yourself if you over-exercise.

Whatever the reason in Manning's case, it'll be more to do with bureaucratic rules than any particular desire to torture. If they wanted to torture him they'd submit him to the treatment signed off by the Bush administration.
He's probably referring to DoD-funded research efforts like this: http://www.google.com/search?q=algae+oil+dod

Agreed. Use a tennis ball to get rid of the plant fasciitis first.
I actually think that the "intent" is what makes is phony and fake, not the skills or techniques employed. I think I use some of these techniques (or "rules of thumbs for conversation" -- albiet not as extreme) with some people I'm friendly with because I genuinely want them to enjoy the conversation and our time together.

I sincerely do not want or expect any favors or benefits from them. If we're in a setting that begets conversation and I know that we don't have tooo much in common, I'm going to go out of my way to make the conversation enjoyable for them, because their enjoyment of the conversation will make the conversation enjoyable for me as well.

The alternative is often either side taking turns about subjects that the other person has no interest in, and those conversations don't do any good for either person.
Love it. A free form virtual world. Been wanting to build one of these for a long time.
Again, this is not about personal preference.

In the real world, 90% of programmers use either C#, Java, C/C++, JS or Python/Ruby/Perl in their jobs.

We could restrict ourselves to this set of languages and syntax style, and design a super-set language that does everything, gets rid of their historical warts, and can go from scripting to HPC.

Stuff like using significant whitespace or not, are BS bikeshedding, which we can bypass.

The thing is, were it matters (speed, expressivity, availability of REPL and IDE, large SDK) nothing but money prevents us from making such a language...

Is there anything preventing a top notch team working for 10 years and come with one ready, including all the trims and works, JIT, AOT native compiler, ports to 2-3 architectures, batteries et al?

Sure, some people would still like their Java or their Lisp or whatever.

But there's not some logical impossibility preventing us from creating a language that's better for 90% of the tasks than what's our there.

In a sense, that's what MS did with C# -- but they stopped too soon because they have their own agenda. So it was Windows only, in the CLR with no supported AOT option, etc.
Is rigor even that important? Is a flawed and quirky language really a problem when you are learning? I'd expect that keeping the learner's momentum going is more important – if they keep producing they will be able to engage with the crap, or make their own new kinds of crap. Quantity over quality, you know? With that in mind, stuff like developer tools is more important... and maybe community (which is eclectic for Javascript – there's lots of material out there about Javascript, but a lot of it is crap material).
But a five star rating system that aggregates the opinions of my friends and colleagues (i.e. people whose tastes tend to be positively correlated with my own)

You don't befriend people who have different tastes or opinions than you? Most of my friends don't even like the same food as each other. Some use mac, some use Windows, some use Linux. How sure are you that those ratings would be more useful than those of the general population?

Also, didn't facebook try this out at one point? Facebook would seem to me to be a perfect platform for this type of service.
Programming education doesn't have to center on browsers, but it's very likely that someone interested in programming as a career in 2015 will have to make programs which interact with browsers in some way. So, while class chicken inherits from Animal and can override Animal's speak() method, that's not quite as fun as having .chicken.animal::after put chicken memes all over your homework.

Visual Basic was also pretty awesome for this, and I'm sad to see that give way to e.g. Java, which has probably turned many people off initially to how fun and rewarding programming can be.

TL;DR public static void main is not as fun as making more internet.
If you like running something BSD-based, maybe try one of the *BSDs ... I suggest starting out with PC-BSD: http://www.pcbsd.org/.

I switched from Linux to a custom FreeBSD setup a while ago and I'm enjoying it - I find it simpler, more stable, better engineered, better documented (the FreeBSD handbook is great!) and just generally a nicer OS to use. Hard to quantify, really, but it just feels nicer to use overall.
I would rather my children didn't have to confront this yet, too.

Won't someone please think of the adults?

You have to be over 17 to buy the app anyway, and parental controls let you explicitly block this sort of app. Plus, if your kids want to see naked men having sex, well... let me tell you about this little thing called the Internet. It's directly accessible in the "safari" app, and it contains porn. Oh so much porn.

Anyway, I am tired of "for the children". It's not for the children, it's for the prudes.
That would really work, hadn't thought of adding a strobe. If you don't close your eyes immediately, before moving at all, you'd easily lose track of where you are. Strobes would also get nearby people's attention, possibly better than an alarm.

That said, this video didn't seem to imply a strobe was included / recommended.
I found this piece pretty disappointing and idiotically anti-British. Despite raising some key points he devolves them into fairly pointless attacks.

I especially "love" the insinuation that BP's problems stem from being British and therefore "plodding" and bureaucratic. I won't for one moment dispute that they are; but this is a feature common to such large companies (the world over). And absolutely nothing to do with the nationality.

As to his Sherwood forest example; the US engineers approach is exactly the sort of attitude that appears to have caused this accident. In the world of deep water drilling, or so I am told, you don't (or shouldn't) go outside of rated usage no matter what the circumstances. So there is a place for all sorts of attitudes.

Once you get past the opening paragraphs he finishes this with an extremely important point:

Or is it? What about the safety wells and their drilling platforms? Are they in better shape than the platform that exploded and sank?

I'm a bit sad he had to dress that up with pretty anti-British rhetoric, I think it stands on it;s own merits!
Personal opinion: I really don't care about "CUDA Toolkit Release Notes" or probably most other "$stuff Release Notes" on HN. I only opened the comments because others here seemed to upvote it more than I anticipated and thought "there must be something special about this release" - and indeed, nVidia dropping MacOS support is something that's worth knowing (even as a Linux dev).

Thus I personally would like to either have the title "CUDA Toolkit Release Notes: MacOS-support to be dropped" or link to the click-baity gizmodo (which is missing the CUDA aspect).
Just /s/YouTube/Peertube (a federated video host) in your second paragraph, and it turns out to be a thing already:

"What I would like to see instead is a return of self-hosted videos from creators’ own websites plus a site like Peertube that is really just an aggregator of those videos. That way you can also have smaller businesses that provide Peertube-like services for those that don’t want to self-host, but those videos still get included in that aggregator. I think that would be the best ecosystem for competition."
What about an artist selling his art for less than the hourly minimum wage it cost him to make it? Should he get arrested?
