I don't know of any particular "starter kits". Generally speaking, the way I (and most people I know) got started was either by copying a friends .emacs file or just googling for something when you realize you need it. The latest versions of (at least GNU) emacs ship with a lot of language major modes.

If you're on debian/ubuntu, the emacs-goodies-el is a good package to grab, as it has a bunch of useful packages including color-themes.

http://www.emacswiki.org/ tends to be fairly helpful to get started, as is the included manual (although its only ~3.5 years after I started using emacs that I'm starting to abandon the arrow keys in favor of the builtin movement chords)

I think as you use emacs, you realize "I really want feature X", then you google for it and find it exists and you're happier for it. After a while you get more comfortable with your .emacs file you start adding your own keybindings, macros, etc.
I will be the first to admit to having a soft-spot for any program that will quote H.P. Lovecraft on abort/error.

ludwig@mises.gq: It's no surprise that somebody who names himself after a Hitler apologist would choose to be such a rabid ESR apologist himself. This is not the place for your and ESR's pseudoscientific rationalizations of racism.

"The fact that the capitalists and entrepreneurs [in Germany], faced with the alternative of Communism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Stalin." -Ludwig von Mises, again apologizing for Hitler rather than criticizing both dictators.
The last one of those I was asked to sign was laughably broad (the specific example I asked, was "What if I wrote a children's book" and yes, that would be covered). I asked to take it to my lawyer to review, and they forgot to ever ask for it again.
The problem with the poll isn't the sample (as the author suggests), rather its the fact that you can't predict such a thing, given any sample size/quality.
News at 11: Pure democracy is unstable and should be avoided.

/read your histories of Athens to see why
Oh, well 100% uptime for power and bandwidth is pretty standard then, I figured you were comparing an SLA for similar type services as you'd get from Heroku and/or EC2.
Get a different tablet.
I always figured that would be unfair to ask - they might feel they have to lie to keep their job, or they might not want it to get back to other employees.

I like to ask what they like most about their work, which gives them a chance to talk about their job, the company, others in the company (usually), and their role.
Actually I think that's just the other side of the coin. While most of Europe has recognized that the public is better off levying heavy taxes to discourage expensive imports, Norway levies heavy taxes to allow for greater quantity of expensive exports. The net effect on society in both cases is positive.
This sounds a lot like the design studio at Apple. It's basically Jony Ive and ~10 designers who have full rights to prototype new products, even if they're completely random. I think a telling difference is the fact that this is a part of the core myth of Apple and the emphasis on beautiful design and small teams. It's not some hidden away secret.

Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1367481/Appl... - "Jobs swiftly brought Ive in from the cold, moving the designers into a building on campus and investing in the latest rapid-prototyping equipment. He also beefed up Apple’s security, locking down the design studio to prevent leaks and installing a private kitchen so designers wouldn’t talk shop in public.
Until my most recent workstation build, my two computers were Deepthought (the higher-end desktop) and Marvin (smaller and more finicky laptop).

Never did think of an appropriate name for the new desktop though.

edit: thanks for all of the suggestions!
I like that the campaign website complains about tracking and surveillance when Spotify does it but then uses Google Analytics on their own website fightforthefuture.org/.
Hacker News has always been about self-interest.
This is mostly a worldwide consideration. Modernization of poverty is the dominant driver of growth in population, resource consumption, and physical waste. Hans Rosling showed that all these things got better in societies with median wealth in the top 5-10% worldwide, and concluded that the answer to sustainability was to make everybody rich by wealth redistribution. However, it seems pretty clear by observation that causality works in the opposite direction.

It’s a reasonable question, but you pose it in moralizing terms, which is exactly the problem I am highlighting with environmental leftism. The movement seems to embrace one side of a moral crusade rather than a rational set of sustainable policies. This is the same reason that anti-environmentalism finds support among conservatives, which is also lunacy. Environmental conservatism should be a thing, but it’s not.

I should have included war in my list as another form of extremely wasteful and environmentally-disastrous practice. A huge portion of defense spending is completely anachronistic, and these areas tend to have the greatest environmental impact.
While I agree that it was an offhand comment, if you look closely at the chart you posted, the weakest correlation is on the bottom right under "mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders" which is what I believe OP was implying. Under that category, you only see a small difference between the COVID-19 and "other RTI" populations.
I’m an adult male who had severe negative lasting psychological changes (panic disorder, GAD, depression) after a bout with pneumonia and I can assure you my symptoms aren’t “fake”. Nor was it due to the fear of having pneumonia, as the psychological symptoms started before before my physical symptoms appeared.

You sound like an ignorant person who’s been lucky enough to avoid some of the meaner curveballs life can throw at a person. I believe the covid long-haulers. It took me years to recover my mental health to “almost baseline” and I will probably be on SSRIs the rest of my life.
I can host a WP site on anything that runs PHP and MySQL. Webflow CMS has exactly one hosting option: Webflow. No thanks.
> And that's what makes the difference between those who dream and make it big and those who like to stay within their comfort zones

"Those that dream," "those that make it big," and "those who strike out on their own," are complex groups with varying degrees of overlap.

Many people "strike out on their own," for a variety of reasons unrelated to "making it big".
This is the problem -- the argument about 'settings' has become about whether there should be a preference pane, whether there should be an "advanced preferences" pane, etc.

Settings aren't the problem. Preference panes are the problem. If you back the ability to customize something (aka toggle a setting) into the thing that needs customizing, then preference panes disappear, and the interface becomes inherently customizable.

Consider the window. Imagine if the x/y/w/h of every window was hidden in a preference pane! No one would use windows, because thats a terrible interface. The solution is to bake the customizability into the interface -- allow users to drag windows around, or resize them by dragging the edges (or corners if you're on a mac, etc.).

The next time you think about adding something to a preference pane, either find a way to bake it into the UI or forget it.
It's looking to fill in the sentence for you, so when you ask "What is awesome?" it returns "This CD is awesome!" and "This game is awesome".

Nobody has said "that band is textrunner!" ... or "{anything} is textrunner".
Does anyone have a query with an impressive answer? The ones I thought up have no results.
You don't need a lawyer of LegalZoom to incorporate. Do it yourself, it's even cheaper. Just make sure to do due diligence in your operating agreement. DocStoc has a lot of template that you can reference. However, you should find a lawyer for legal matters when doing agreements for other companies.

If you don't plan on seeking investment, it the short-term you should go with an LLC for simplicity and tax reasons.
What would be advantage of doing that?
Both are great, but different. EngineYard provides much more.

For example, I'm an EngineYard customer. EngineYard developers and support people have spent upwards of 100 hours with me discussing more advanced needs for security, scaling, integration, and professional services.

EngineYard's leadership has especially impressed me with Rails 3, JRuby, and Rubinius.

USDC is not a scam, and it’s on Ethereum. You are too biased, it’s off putting.
The article explicitly mentions some who are concerned that putting a spotlight on male victims will take a chunk out of their piece of the cake. If a so-called relief agency is worried more about their market share than the absolute number of people they're helping, I'm not sure whether they should be called a relief agency at all.
I just had a discussion with a friend who is an engineer. He thought this truck design was done by a 3rd grader and is evidence of Elon going crazy (literally).

I love the design. It's how I wanted my own vehicle to be made. The most simple possible with the most strength and easiest to repair. I know it's ugly, but I...don't...care.

Please, someone tell me why stainless steel (as Elon designed this) is superior to aluminium (this is my friends primary argument, I think he hates steel) he said it was lighter and cheaper and didn't corrode as easily. (I know, but what can I say?)
I'd have to google, as I didn't read about it recently. So you could google yourself. Or just dismiss me as a crackpot who makes stuff up.

But you might be interested to read about this lady: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Pizzey

>She is known for having started the first domestic violence shelter in the modern world, Chiswick Women's Aid, in 1971 [...] Pizzey has been the subject of death threats and boycotts because of her research into the claim that most domestic violence is reciprocal, and that women are equally capable of violence as men.
Making the pre-order deposit $100 was a great play by Tesla.

"$100" in the context of "shiny new car" is so minuscule; tons of people are going to put that $100 even if the have only the faintest whim of wanting that car. And Tesla will be able to say, "check out our millions of reservations," as ammunition against the naysayers.
What lead time are they giving Preorders 12months? Preorders makes this sound like a kickstarter campaign
The CIA did a lot of "rectal rehydration" and "rectal feeding", and you can find reports of it in the mainstream media. For example, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/dec/09/cia-torture-...

While you aren't wrong that the Saudi Arabian government tortures prisoners, you're phrasing implies that they are unique when in fact most authoritarian governments around the world torture people in their prisons.
It's not just new, it's wrong, it's too brutalistic. Especially considering it might not justbea small run of production for remote places (or planets even) but might be a common sight at breakfast.
Being acquainted with people who volunteer in such relief agencies, I cannot tell you how disgusted I am to see their efforts denigrated as profit driven. They are typically rape victims themselves, each with their own individual stories — not just statistical females who have experienced statistical rape. The idea that they would not sympathize with male rape victims is just... appalling. Are you saying you know such people? Name names.
fair point, but I still think they did right by their portfolio companies here
The spook that was given as an example in that text, James R. Lilley, sounded familiar to me. I looked him up and saw that his career continued well after the time of that article, being made ambassador by Reagan in '86.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lilley

The article, among other things, confirms that Lilley was a CIA operative. I don't know for sure but it seems like that information was far from public knowledge in 1974.
Godwin.
Incidentally, I am the opposite. When I wake up in the morning, I feel awake and alert. Then I have coffee, and I feel amazing. If I have coffee after I get home from work, I can't go to bed before 5am, regardless of when I got up the day before.

I consume a fair amount of caffeine every day, and I still have a buffer where I can use more to get more effect, or use less and not feel bad. FWIW, though, I also sleep a lot, especially on the weekends. I think the harm comes from chronically not sleeping, not delaying sleep by a few hours once in a while.

Or, I've damaged my brain and I can't recognize adverse effects anymore. That's the great thing about brain damage, if you do it right, your brain is too damaged to realize that your brain is damaged. Life is just an illusion! ;)
Why do we even still need articles like that? I think the argument is already lost the moment you have to justify things.

So what is left is: if the app store is good enough for you, go for it, whatever.

I used to care more, since I have a vested interest in people deciding against the app store, but I don't think new arguments will be made by now. Also people won't switch sides because of arguments. By now, you are either a Mapple person, or you are not.
Guy claims a hero is the fixer for all ills,

Where exactly did he do that? From what I can read he is simply providing a suggestion to a person who has been talking to doctors since he was 20.

It seemed I quite possibly have assumed that the tone in your comment was not intentional, but it looks like that wasn't the case. Quit being such an asshole.
That's not clear to me, because I've never read The Human Stain.

If it provides a different perspective on the same issues, why don't you tell us about it?
> You cannot pass a ruby lambda expecting arguments to Clojure.

I'm glad to see this is catching on. A friend and I just spoke at the Open Source Bridge conference using our own build scripts for HTML5 slides based on Marcin Wichary's template. Mine are at http://www.jvoorhis.com/osbridge2010/slides/
You can hear the whirring sound of the Macbook fan :-)
Given that the placebo effect is real, why not just use a placebo. Sure, this book may not be better than a placebo, but it's $8. If you get any positive effect at all it's probably worth it.

Pretty neat and useful. May be you have already thought about it but I felt the need to forward/share that screen shot with my friends.
Different people are offended by different things, there's nothing hypocritical about not being offend by game violence while being offended by a swastika.

Some people are offended by nudity, gambling, pigs, swearing etc. There's no rule saying that if your not offended by one thing you can't be offended by anything. It's simply an arbitrary personal choice.
First Amendment doesn't carry any weight on private territory. Business owners can boot rowdy loiterers. pg can ban people from here. I can squash trolls on my servers, and XBL can enforce arbitrary rules at will. You can have your freedom of expression, but you cannot graffiti it onto the side of my car.
I don’t think so. Context matters in this case, too. The swastika was a unique symbol in the west, the Nazis had it completely for themselves. If they had used a cross they would be just another of the many, many organizations in the west using a cross as their symbol. (Christians in general, KKK, Red Cross, …) They would never be able to claim complete ownership of the symbol. They wouldn’t be able to define or redefine the symbol, they would just add another entry in the dictionary under “Cross”.
That remains rather unproven, but I don't feel like arguing about it.

Why we all talk like suspicious Russian or Arab?
Any of the state actors unhappy with this release have undoubtedly looked at the issue somewhat closely.

They'd know:

* a DDOS wouldn't change anything

* wikileaks has decent contingency plans, and are prepared for a lot beyond a simple denial of service

* It'd just get wikileaks in the news more in the run up to the release

Conclusion:
Misguided amateur patriots or complete fabrication
And suddenly people realized they can sell software as a service.
I think the newspapers will link to full copies for perusal, but include highlights/excerpts in their articles.

The biggest problem the DDoS creates, in my eyes, is that anyone reading about the leaks will go to Wikileaks.org and find a dead page and then forget about it, thus minimising their exposure to the other doings of Wikileaks.

what is the semantic of div?
You stated it in terms of social privilege ("jumped right from their undergraduate career to making a six-figure salary in a city...") but it's just as well intellectual privilege. I have a blue collar background and high school criminal career that looks like any poor person buying $20 scratchers, but after four years working in software I was a 22 year-old making six figures also. It makes it harder to feel sympathy for those struggling: Indeed, repeatedly making wrong decisions has poor outcomes. At 18 it was pretty obvious that in the most basic sense, code = money.

It's not the poverty that makes it hard to relate, it's that they seem to almost live by instinct and emotion. I wish them well but don't know what's wrong in their heads or have the slightest idea of how to durably improve their lot, apart from setting an example of worldly rationality (aye, there's the rub).
That sounds interesting! Google doesn't find any mention of that, only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Analysis_and_Replannin... that says DART, far from failing hard, was a huge success. Do you have a link to the thread?
In this case since you have more experience with PHP, go with Laravel.

Sure it is nice to learn a new language/framework while you work on an idea but it is also the easiest way to get discouraged from finishing as it will take longer to complete.
Are most Coinbase users using multisig? Since it's not the default, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. So unless multisig is the default at their new exchange, all of those people are at risk. Few are helped by multisig if few people use it.

Since Coinbase has a large cold storage reserve, and since multisig-protected coins can't be put into cold storage, the answer is pretty clear: Coinbase protects few people.

It's a false dichotomy that coins must be stored in a personal wallet that users mess up, or a webwallet that exchanges mess up. There's a third option: Convert those coins back into USD and stick it in a bank. As long as you're storing less than $500,000, you're guaranteed to have it.

Anything else is pure greed. As someone who has been burned by greed, my misfortune stands as a warning to others: please don't make my mistakes.

The reason I lost coins is because I was tempted by Mt. Gox. Their 2FA auth made it seem very unlikely that my coins could go anywhere, just like Coinbase. If I'd researched Mt. Gox, I would have discovered a history of technical problems. Yet if you research Coinbase right now, you'll discover they've had a history of those too. There have been at least two or three high-profile Coinbase incidents over the years which were featured on HN. And if you research Bitstamp, you'll see they just lost $5 million.

The common denominator is that exchanges and webwallets aren't trustworthy.
In Australia we have a delightful government spin on this process.

It's decided that the civil service needs to be reduced by some factor. With heavy heart, it is decided to do this the humane way: voluntary redundancies are offered to those who want to take them, with a generous severance.

If you've been doing well, great deal! You will get a good reference, and can easily find a new job.

If you've been twiddling your thumbs...uh...no thanks, I'll stay put.

I really appreciate when a solution is so almost-right that it is very, very wrong.
So I'm like your wife. I need my phone to be fast in the first place, then it's enough for me to have those features it offers, not more (I would definitely catch all kinds of viruses, 100% sure!), delete sth for sure or drown it like I did with my last Samsung. Fortunately, almost all iPhones are water resistant. I can even wash mine with soup, then just eject water with https://apps.apple.com/us/app/clear-wave/id1557211189 and continue using it. I'm not afraid my data disappear or micro SD to be damaged.
Linus is very proud of Linux running on anything, from toasters to HPC, so I think it's safe to assume less common architectures aren't going away.
+10 for the Stallman triggered meme in that thread
He isn't in the same category as an average programmer. He's way lower, since he doesn't work in the field any more.

He is something of an expert on business, I suppose, if you take having lots of money as evidence of smarts rather than as evidence of bad character.
> Excellent! It'll be a journey.

Yes, it will be.

Thank you very much for the links!

Going through some of the links on these pages, it got me thinking in what way I can build a project that will reach maximum students. One of the shortcomings of the present projects is that students have to visit these places(which is not possible for many students). It would be more useful if it was the otherway round i.e. there was a way to bring the project to the students. It is an interesting problem to solve.
A bummer that the Navajo Nation didn't buy 'em.
conversly, if you flooded the market with cheap "safe" drugs, the market would drop out entirely.

as for guns, the solution is societal change.

However removing handguns, and limiting the legal reasons to be wondering around the streets with a gun would also help.
10x the burgers grilled. 10x the items picked. 10x the dogs walked. 10x the street corners busked. 10x the instagram posts. be the change you want to see!
Oh wow, thank you! Should’ve known to head straight to the docs instead of searching phrases online. Now to spend the next day backing everything up and configuring passphrase on boot...
k8 is about as anti "keep it simple" as it can get.
I see, you're saying play the inverse at the recording time. So I misunderstood, I thought you were meaning doing it to the recording.

This is also complicated, because you need to factor in the relative locations of the original source, your source, and the pickup to make sure the phase is correct.
"in several recent years NSA has been the largest single buyer of spinning disks in the world."

The rest of the world moved to SSDs in ~2010. Google's been storing the whole web on flash since then. (I guess if you're archiving for slow-speed retrieval disks are still useful, but if that's your use-case, why wouldn't you use tape?)
Quick question: If you have control of the computation instructions (the software for your HE CPU), can arrange for a leak of information from the encrypted data?
I talk about it in the post but it was Discord users but also the users of Polar. They prefer dark mode and it is one of our top requested features.
