This is hardly a primer. If somebody is using the motions and actions described in the article they may not be a complete wizard in obscure vim features, but they are certainly far beyond being merely "primed" to use vim. I've been an avid vim proponent for years and I still picked up new things from this article.
It's an absurd statement: "My family is wealthier because we have a habit of being frugal". How do you know poor people aren't frugal, let alone that they are _historically_ not frugal?
Love the idea, although I wondering how user data will be protected across all of these different workflows?
I'd suggest you use a JS library like HighCharts or D3JS (or both). All you need to do is format your JSON on the back-end in the correct format and throw it into the chart's configuration.

HighCharts has an amazing API, documentation, and examples.

The concept of "Cultural Appropriation" (and the desire to avoid it) strikes me as something created out of benevolent racism that promotes cultural segregation.

I understand not wanting to step on toes and put salt in old wounds, but telling me I can't (metaphorically) walk around other neighborhoods out of respect seems a bit much. Something has gone awfully wrong to get to this point and playing along instead of unwinding the stack is misguided.
That filter should make it pretty easy for you to filter out all but the worst offending recruiters. "Seeking only remote opportunities" should scare them away.
I don't favour anything that puts more Javascript out there, but I agree with the more general point: if you're going to embed a programming language, better to embed a real, well-designed one than an ad-hoc custom one.

This is also why I find the likes of drools and cucumber utterly wrongheaded. (More generally, there's an antipattern of turing-complete configuration files - often when an organization has convinced itself that "code" needs to go through a long testing and deployment cycle but "configuration" doesn't). If you already have a programming language, use it.
The police could well have been there because they had good reason to suspect that there was going to be trouble.

> and there's a viable theory they were just waiting for an excuse

But is there a viable theory that the police started the shooting?

If you're going to start a shootout in town, and the police are there in force to try to stop that from happening, and you start a shootout anyway, and the police shoot you to get you to stop shooting other people, well... I don't have much room for feeling like the police are out of control there.

If you have evidence that says that I misunderstood the way events happened, feel free to correct my understanding...
I can only echo your sentiments. There seemed to be some skepticism about their attitude (what with the Comic Sans thing :)), but everyone in my circles at least respects the OpenBSD team's technical competence.
How does this work legally, are you acting as an agent, proxy or other authorized representative of the customer, when interacting with the vendor?

On the topic of security: is the customer's identity information, e.g. authorization passcodes required by the vendor, deleted from your database after the transaction is complete? You may also want to add some details on encryption.

I'm gonna place my bet that the entire app thing is a hoax. Perhaps, it's going to end up as some type of documentary about privacy?
Strapping a fitbit to everyone so docs can better monitor their life choices reminds me of the logic behind a classic Simpsons scene: A more precise measurement of an already accurately-understood condition does not equate to greater understanding of how to actually fix the problem.

"Marge: Can't you do something for him?

Dr. Hibbert: Well, we can't fix his heart, but we can tell you exactly how damaged it is.

Homer: What an age we live in."
Perhaps try Google for that phrase?

The first hit for me is the Larry Lessig piece, but the second two have lots of background information on the source of the statistics:

(Yes, I intend this to be slightly snarky in a behavior changing manner. It's wonderful to wonder about sources for statistics, but seems lazy to ask the question seemingly without doing any basic research. Contrast the utility to the group of the bare question versus a post that included some links with the answers from the start.)
Cultural appropriation is a bunch of SJW & white-guilt bullshit. It's not wrong or an act of an oppressor, it's just how cultures collide. And there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't take anything from the lady with the creepy mask holding a dead crow, either. Might make a good album cover for the right kind of band, though.

How about this: When a cemetery is "full", temporarily remove all the headstones, add 10 feet of dirt over the whole site, then replace all the headstones in the original positions. Now you can start burying more people. What's wrong with that? People are still buried, you don't have to dig people up, what difference does it make if people are 6 feet under or 16 feet or 26 feet.
Argo (https://argo.io) is a web-based tool that enables fast, natural-language based question asking and visualization of data. It's designed to be used by a non-technical user, so you can share dashboards and visualizations with people, and they can ask their own questions.

Under the hood, Argo uses advanced search processors to turn natural language queries into SQL, optimized for visualization.

You can request a demo on their website: https://argo.io

Not enough submissions (data) for this to be accurate. CA for example only has 91 submissions. Are most of these from the Bay Area?
No, that's simply not true. And thanks to Obamacare, not even true in the US anymore. One caveat of course, is this assumes you don't have dependents. That's obviously a completely different problem.

I like the idea a lot. This is one of the cases where most people try to fix something by calling even though they would be much better off sending in a form letter. Check your contract. It probably says something along the lines of "service will be terminated within 5 business days after written notification" but they sure don't guarantee anything good will come from calling customer service on the phone.

I would be a little worried about basing a business on this because someone else could start a site with a free collection of the letters to download. Until then this would be well worth the money.
I canceled comcast service at least twice so far. Not much trouble. But the key problem is after canceling, which other service you are gonna use...
Would it? Inlining the fold should produce the same code, with no intermediate vector. Granted, such inlining is not guaranteed, whereas with a macro it would be.
D3.js or even Google Charts will get the job done for most visualizations.

This would probably require some standardization of payments settlement and funding, which is probably the harder part of this.

On top of that, all these different payment systems have different fee structures, so it's unclear how this could be completely in the user's control, since the merchant probably won't be happy to accept arbitrary fees, unless the fee was levied on the user, rather than the merchant, which would be a pretty big difference.
In response to the now dead comment about how government-mandated insurance perverts the market, I agree that's a bigger departure from the idealistic free market model. However cookiecaper is referring to moral hazard: where people will make reckless decisions because insurance is essentially paying someone else to absorb uncertainty. When the risk is assumed by another, you take bigger risks. So there's increased uncertainty. And it has negative externalities, so yeah: another warp in the ideal free market model.

But that's all the more reason why insurance companies want (and IMO should have) better insight into who you are: so the risk is more accurately quantifiable.

Good start to an argument! I would have added Rivendell (rivbike.com) as a very reputable maker of bicycles. On the topic of German know-how, though, I turn to my favorite topic of bicycle headlights. Why can't Americans make them? You can buy a lot of very fancy, very expensive bicycle lights made in America that are all crap. Every one of them has a useless circular beam, like a flashlight. As an exemplar I give you the Light & Motion Urban 800, very popular in San Francisco, $150, completely fucking useless[1]. From the Germans we have the B&M Ixon IQ[2], comparable in output but with proper optics, casts an even beam on the road ahead without blinding oncoming riders, $55.

Right, I meant it as clarification for how my family got wealth, not as a reason why poor families are poor. "Civilian's family became wealthy because we had good jobs and were frugal with our money. As oppose to other families, who started a massively successful business."

It seems that this has to do specifically with public parks. Lavish private parks and gardens have existed for a few millennia as a respite from homes and cities and as a way to contemplate nature. (Seeing as it took so much money to build and maintain them, they typically were kept for their owners' pleasure alone)
> Non-turing complete languages are also easier to reason about, less susceptible to bugs and less susceptible to technical debt.

Citation needed. Not my experience at all. Some well-designed total functional languages perhaps, but not non-turing complete languages in general, and not the typical alternatives for configuration and tests.
Some of these gangs are doing human trafficking. If you think that laws against that are "legislating morality" rather than the only sane moral stand, then I don't even know how to begin having a conversation about ethics with you.
Here's the Mandrill test image from SIPI and Utah as a 75% progressive JPEG with just the first scan of the most significant bit of just the DC for Y only, which is a totally expected scheme for the web back in the '90s:

I think this follows the 90/10 rule. Most of my work is on my own machine. Occasionally I will be on a server and attempt to use some configuration from my personal .vimrc but instead have to fall back to slightly slower methods.

The time lost in that 10% is totally worth the cost of the time saved in the 90%.

And since everyone uses their text editors differently, it's not practical to move any one individual's personal configuration choice into vim core.
If you've got SQL experience it's actually very easy to learn Qlikview scripting language. I recently finished a gig where the CEO retrenched all the IT staff and didn't bother to have any of the Qlikview dashboard processes updated. I had to pick up Qlikview in a few days, and had it all worked out pretty fully within 2 weeks. Learning "set-analysis" took me few days to get up to speed.

It's honestly not that hard to understand. The difficulty as always is putting together a sane data model.
All of this is fine for real-valued inputs and outcomes. It's the number of events (coin flips, measurements, etc) that we're restricting to be countable.
Personally, I have never experienced that issue, after 4 years of working with the software. Diligent saving always takes care of the issue. There are also "Backup" and "Auto Recover" settings. You could backup the most recent 5 saves, and have Auto Recover trigger every 15 minutes. Losing 5 hours of work should never happen with all those tools to prevent it.

This problem has been solved already, even for cultures that do not cremate bodies.

The scarce cemetery space is devoted to recent burials. The corpse is left in the ground long enough for all the soft tissues to decompose. It is then exhumed, and given a second burial in an ossuary, or for the more prestigious deceased, a reliquary.

The mass of a dry skeleton is about 1/5 that of a wet body, and without the connective tissues, you can stack bones more efficiently.

Or just borrow a trick from hard disk drive manufacturers and orient the corpses vertically instead of horizontally. In other words, bury bodies in a standing position, rather than lying down.

Hey, just got it all set up. Seems very neat!

I have a question: how can I view all issues? It seems I can only view issues without a milestone and issues in a milestone separately.

Nonsense. Tao is using perfectly idiomatic language here - "The sample space will be a probability space (once we have endowed it with some additional structure)".
The second-worst experience I had with cancelling a service was with Comcast. Briefly: called up, told operator I wanted to cancel, they put me through to a special sales team attempting to keep me, eventually I pushed it through.

The real magic happens during the conversation with the sales rep; he asks why I want to cancel, I explain that the cost is high relative to the quality. He offers me more cost effective package, I explained that I had that package in the past and that the slow incremental increases in cost had turned me off them as a company. He goes on to say: "well, that is your fault, I'd never set up auto pay for a service" and continues to make the case that the convenience function of auto pay is actually an agreement with Comcast to increment the cost of my service without my explicit agreement to paying more.

Wow. Just wow.

Still, that's nothing compared to the calls I had with BT after someone hijacked my landline and placed hundreds of GBP worth of calls to Nigeria... but that is another tale for another HN story.
I don't know about built in statistical tools beyond the basic aggregates available in SQL, but we (Fullscreen) have been using Chartio and are really enjoying it. I'd say it does great for 95% of the dashboards and visualizations we need (custom d3.js for the rest) and it plays well with our data sources. Particularly coming from Redshift data I found Chartio a lot snappier than equivalent charts in Tableau, especially for large data sets.

You can either use their UI to make charts, or write pure SQL, or my preferred method of making most of the functionality in the UI and tweaking the SQL for the last few details if you need something bespoke.

I view the regulation argument against nuclear power similarly (i.e. that it's too expensive and time-consuming to get a nuclear plant licensed). Once energy becomes more scarce and/or the externalities of fossil fuels are priced in, this is a problem that will solve itself when needed.
So it's up to the inner circle of the DNC to decide which candidates aren't a "waste of time"? I thought that was up to the primary voters.

Yes, the purpose of a political party is to further the goals of the leadership of that party. The party has concluded (likely correctly) that including Lessig in their debates will not further their agenda. It seems strangely naive (or possibly disingenuous) for Lessig to suggest that there is something unexpected about this.
I think I might be mis-reading your comment but, to me, "cultural appropriation" sounds like a re-branding of integration. If would follow from this view that arguing against cultural appropriation is arguing for segregation.

The idea of cultural appropriation inevitably leads to racism by those who try to enforce some sort of moral code against it. If you don't look like most people of your culture - you're suddenly a racist. Even when you're just practicing your own culture.

Anyone remember the story of the half-white, half-Japanese woman who was derided for culturally appropriating the Japanese because she, ethnically, looked closer to Caucasian/white than Japanese? I especially loved the part where the overly aggressive PC hate mob apologized to her. Except the apology never happened. Instead, they doubled down on her being in the wrong...

Increasingly, learning about a culture is becoming "cultural appropriation" to the PC extremists. Identity politics, of all forms, is a disease - from what I have seen it has only ever lead to negativity and conflict.

No, I did not self diagnose based on a shaky link. I stopped doing things that made my condition worse based on firsthand observation of what I experience every day. Afterwards, I learned a few things that led to a personal hypothesis as to why I react badly. My original point, relevant to this topic, was that based on knowing a bunch of semi obscure things, it is unlikely that microbes that eat styrofoam are dangerous to humans. I am also an environmental studies major. So it is kind of an intersection of things, not just what I know about my medical condition.

Then someone with psoriasis said they think plastics may be an issue for them. Suggesting someone reduce their exposure to a thing they think they are reacting negatively to is the most conservative suggestion you can make. It is a basic first step that does not require consulting a physician first to make that decision for yourself. Such a suggestion does not preclude them also seeking medical attention. Nor does it preclude them from reading up further.

You are making an issue out of absolutely nothing. You are also butting into my choices about how I take care of myself and asking me to justify them to you, which is incredibly inappropriate. I don't owe you an explanation or justification and commenting on my anecdotal experience related to the topic of styrofoam and microbes was in no way an invitation for people to insert themselves into my life in that manner.

So, I am done here. I would appreciate it if you would let it go.

It's very easy for RTFM to sound dismissive, but after a while of being a young hacker, I realized it had a zen like quality. The answer to life's hardest problems isn't found by asking others; It is by searching inside yourself and Google.

It took me a while to understand, and I imagine others have had the same problem. Flow is important to programmers, as is self-reliance. Interrupting others for questions is generally a bad idea for both you and them. At the same time, telling others not to interrupt can be discouraging and dismissive, so it's a fine line to walk to tell people who are learning to go away. You must do so in a supportive manner, and there's no simple solution to that. Any one solution you take only lasts for a limited time before it sounds trite and dismissive.
