I want strong visual cues for the end of blocks most importantly. And I want the freedom to adjust indentation in ways that to me improve readability without consideration of whether or not it matches language expectations.

But also because I've yet to work in any environment where broken indentation due to tools with different ideas about how to handle it has not been a regular occurrence - indentation is brittle.
Likewise. It's been a bit of a dream for me.
> I'm looking for a good text editor that has a simple and quick scripting capability.

Vim and Emacs have neither of these things. They both pose a long and difficult barrier to entry.

However it sounds like you aren't looking for simple and quick. If you are running into limitations on your current editor, then it's time to swallow the pill and dive into one of the behemoths.

I don't know of any text editor that is guaranteed to have less limitations than Sublime Text, but also has a "simple and quick scripting capability".

I would recommend Vim as it's main focus is as a text editor. Emacs tries to do everything, Vim just tries to edit text. Emacs also has a mode that enables Vim key bindings, so if you choose Emacs later, you won't have to start from scratch.

Lastly, Emacs uses a dialect of Lisp for customization. Vim has it's own made up language. So this may be a reason to choose Emacs over Vim.

>Government should be an organization serves people rather than trying to control people and limit what people can say or do.

What if 55% of the people want to control and limit what the other 45% do and say? It's never as easy as 'government should just do this' because a government needs to have power to fulfill its mandate. Any concentration of power can, and will be abused and there will be cycles of this occurring as the society around it grows more and less apathetic to abuse of power.
I don't know about game libraries in particular, but in general, it's pretty common for C++ libraries to ship with a C api, and for most non-C++ languages to use that as the basis for their integration.

It looks like several (https://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=43) people (https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/issues/130) have written C apis for bullet already, for that reason. Vala, .NET, LuaJIT and Rust all get mentioned.
A real shame. Hacker Monthly was a great product for the HN community and I'm going to miss it arriving in the post every month.

With that said, I think there's still a healthy ecosystem of similar products. There was a post on the front page about a new newsletter that sent out one "classic" HN post a week, I think the article mentioned it was doing pretty well. Can't remember its name though haha.
Thats nice. Will be helpful for others to start from where you left.

I'm not surprised. Any time I see a research paper that suggests a highly complex issue, like crime, can be neatly explained by a single variable, my BS meter goes off.

Could a reduction in lead levels contribute to the drop in crime? Sure, but any effect would likely be drowned out by the multitude of other changes that have happened over the past 60+ years.

Adrian Cockcroft: Systems for Innovation at USI
And so the book-person system retains the ability that was put in place by whoever made the book. I think that this counterargument to Chinese Room should be easy to understand for programmers - the book is just the "Chinese language understanding" part of the brain/knowledge refactored out. The rules of this mental experiment are vague enough to allow a rulebook that complicated.
The Chinese Room Argument is everything that is wrong with analytical philosophy. The fact that it keeps popping up is depressing.

Of course the man in the room doesn't know Chinese, neither does your individual neurons. It's the entire house that's the conscious part if anything.

The real answer of course is we don't know.
Really? You think the better situation is people dying?
Isn't often better powerline than WiFi through walls?
The argument seems to try to deliberately obfuscate the issue. We generally think of an individual as knowing a language, whereas we wouldn't consider a non-conscious object (dictionary, translation program) to know a language, even if it contains much of the information. So we put the two together in order to produce an output that can only come from the two (the man on his own is not producing the output in Chinese), and then ask only about the man (because the idea of a book-man system knowing something or a book knowing something goes against the way we use the word "know").

It tries to intentionally confuse the reader in an effort to make up for a very weak argument.

A clearer example would be asking something like - does a company (the system) now how to make product X, when no individual in that company knows how to make product X (each individual knows only a small part of the production process)? Of course, a clearer example isn't used because it wouldn't elicit the desired response.

This problem is present, to varying but nonzero degrees, in all of the advertising networks. And they're doing a miserable job of fighting it. I recently saw malware advertised through AdSense, and decided to try to report it. There was no mechanism for doing so, and I checked everywhere.
Ask HN: What are my options after master's degree?
Masters in Mech (vibrations to be specific). I work at one of the big 3's in Michigan (automobile).
I have about 2.5 yrs of work experience (after masters). I earn somewhere between 80 and 85k per year.
I have deep interest in computer aided applications in mechanical engg. Generally speaking, I am the first person (in my team) to come up with a VB script or MATLAB equivalent to solve signal processing problems. I pursued research based masters, hence most of it was funded.
I want to further advance my career by pursuing more research (which I don't get to do at work)
I am considering PhD, but I am not willing to go on full time PhD (because I am on H1B, and don't want to give away my hard-earned[read as lottery] VISA and pay). I am afraid, a part time PhD will take too long, and I am unsure about the direction in which it will lead me. I lack conventional computer science education, and do not want to jump the ship by simply becoming a programmer (and hence sacrificing the masters deg or vibrations expertise)

I am thrilled about multiple developments in tech, intel realsense, project tango, virtual reality, self driving cars and wide arrays of technologies.
I feel an urge to develop something (just like i did during my masters research), while making sure it fulfills my desire, I also want it to help advance my career.
(i am a nerd who wants to monetize on his tinkering projects, while staying away from entrepreneurship thing, because i like getting paid, and/or need to be paid for maintaining my VISA status)
I am 26 and single, I am fairly occupied with work, hence I just have weekends and couple of hours everyday to pursue my new adventure.

What should I do? Please share your thoughts.
This is interesting, but it would be more so if you could tell us what hardware, what "3.2.2RC" refers to, and which ISP (I'm assuming somewhere in Europe?).

Also, I thought it was assumed that letting your ISP control your router is a 'bad idea'; modem, sure, but not the router. Perhaps this just isn't important enough for you to care, but this entire thread is full of people that feel differently.
The reason we fight this is that giving the government "control rods" against the latest threat du jour will immediately result in them being used against domestic political opponents like Occupy, Black Lives Matter, environmentalists etc.

Forbes comes in first place bar none if you compute (shadiness/brand visibility). They do all kinds of shady stuff like clickbait titles, shadiest of the shadiest ad formats, that meaningless interstitial ad, and probably whole lot more I'm not even aware of. Whenever I somehow land on one of their pages (I NEVER visit them voluntarily, it's mostly via some clickbait title I click without thinking), I always think "Just die off already if you can't figure out how to make money without alienating people who have believed in you. You're being a disgrace to what Forbes used to be and people who worked hard to build up that reputation"

"With ES6, I think that JavaScript has proved that it can adapt to change"

JavaScript proved squat. Those changes should have been done a long time ago and now we should have had a sane language instead of JS. Betting on JS "evolving" is the wrong way to go.
That's my understanding too. Instead of going to your data structure, and then dereferencing a pointer to your data, after going to your data structure, you're already there.

This is rich, being reported by Engadget. I've reached out to them numerous times to let them know their ad networks try to redirect Chrome (Android) users to Play Store apps. It doesn't happen all the time, and it doesn't happen on desktop browsers. But it's frustrating and cheap.

They didn't respond.
There are not so many nonparametric Bayesian alternatives yet for multiview clustering. So, this software is a really nice contribution!

Alternatives:

* The group of Ghahramani [1] use a stick-breaking representation instead of the authors of CrossCat, plus a variational method rather than sampling.

* It's even possible to reuse features across categories by stacking an Indian Buffet Process and a Chinese Restaurant Process [2].

The difficulty for the person who has to cluster the data is that the inference method has to be obtained from scratch. Each time that something small changes, not only the model has to be altered, but also a new inference process has to be implemented.

So, suppose we have dependencies between the categories, they might be spatial, they might be temporal, this leads again to more complex processes.

I think it's important for CrossCat to describe what kind of structure it can discover. To be future-proof it's also important to describe what the roadmap will be.

I find things like the Chinese Room Argument quite persuasive for the idea that computers will be able to think and understand. If the opponents to that idea have spent decades trying to disprove it and the Room argument is the best they can come up with then there probably aren't any decent refutations.
Dualism is a funny thing. I'm sure Searle wouldn't agree that he's saying that he has a tiny homunculus in his head that understands English.
Meh. JavaScript isn't horrendous. It's not great, but every language has its flaws, even ES6. It gets the job done and lets us make stuff and go home at the end of the day having made stuff. It's good enough.
Very interesting approach, and pretty straight-forward as you said. Thanks for sharing that.

Have you considered letting the compiler produce DWARF-formatted debug information and using an existing DWARF library to handle the symbol to address mapping? I've had good success with this method for controlling embedded systems from a desktop PC, though not when the host and target are the same computer.

>Don't forget that Wifi needs to be properly positioned to work quickly.

And if my properly positioned you mean "In a faraday cage with only the AP and your station", you'd be correct. The issue is real world WiFi doesn't ever work that way. There are very few places where you don't pick up at least one or two neighbors using at least some of the channel bandwidth you need. Even inside your own wireless domain you have the hidden node problem, forcing wireless domains to be broken into small cells using low power greatly increasing the costs of deployment. Add that a huge number of cheap APs and computer drivers flat out suck and the average non-professionally installed wireless user is not going to see 50% of the bandwidth they should.
The company example is awesome! Thanks for bringing it up. It shows the gist of what's wrong with Chinese Room Argument, but it doesn't sound so abstract. That we should switch to considering the man+book system may not be obvious to someone, but I think anyone living in our civilization will implicitly understand that e.g. no single person in Boeing has enough knowledge to build a 787, and yet the company as a whole knows everything they need to do it.
I agree. Had a really shocking experience when I tried to visit a link and they kept telling me to "turn off ad blockers" to provide a better experience.
Getting to the airport is actually the one time that I still use a local car service, because you can actually schedule them. I can say that I want a car to JFK at 5am tomorrow, and they will reliably be outside my door.

You can't schedule an Uber, and just hoping that one will be available at the time I need one (or else I miss my flight) is scary.
>I'm not sure what it is, but humans seem to be highly suceptable to simple explanations for the world.

Most things really are simple; If you see smoke, the simplest explanation happens to be correct: there's fire.

The bias towards simplicity can also be seen as a bias towards parsimony, which is almost always a good thing. We don't immediately recognize this truth because we don't conjure up trivial examples, even though the overwhelming majority of our reasoning is spent on trivial phenomena.
Is JavaScript the only "language" you've programmed in? Personally, I prefer a language that doesn't require large frameworks and libraries that are here today, gone tomorrow for basic language constructs like name spacing or library references. Personally, I prefer not having "engines" silently fail on something as fundamental as syntax errors, causing bugs that can't be reproduced or tracked down. Want syntax checking? You guessed it! Another Framework/Library/Tool to learn or build! Not horrendus? Good Enough? JavaScript is the language of Satan's incompetent stepchild.

Try speaking out against the depraved Zionist media in North America and see how long it takes to get a visit from your local police department. I'm speaking from experience. We need to stop dancing around the truth; we are being subjugated. We are being impoverished. We are being led to slaughtered in perpetual war. It's almost as though someone had a detailed plan and has followed it to the letter(the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion).
> Betting on JS "evolving" is the wrong way to go.

Why? It is evolving. Slowly, but it is evolving.

Enough to cast a doubt on the viability of Dart and Typescript.
> How well does Kotlin perform on Android?

Pretty much as well as Java. No other alternative language comes close on Android.

In my opinion, the only two credible future languages of Android are either Kotlin or Java 8.
Not to detract from any technical achievement, but I don't think a solution that requires you to wear a device on your finger is ever going to reach mass-market acceptance.

Maybe niche (industrial?) use cases? (And even then I'm skeptical).

Also, to me, the demo looked simulated.
It doesn't require 500 http requests if you run NoScript...

Of course, then for pages like that it usually doesn't show any text at all and you have to figure out manually which domain to enable for the stupid page to work. Best to avoid Forbes altogether if you can.

(Coding is done in C, following MISRA rules and some internal additional standards. This includes the generated code - this one may not be highly optimized every time. The rest of the SW I could say is pretty much OK optimization wise. Assambler may be also used in some limited scenarios, especially for low level device drivers)

I think what you are missing is the complexity of the models working with the inputs to produce the outputs. The models are much more than a few LUT's here and there. It is just so much to do and you have to do in real time (we actually use real time operating systems, like RTA-OSEK and RTA-OS). Stuff is executed time based (1ms to 1s, with most at 10ms and 100ms) or event based (generated by SW or by interrupts). Events can come faster than 1ms (crank wheels teeth counting at high rpm for example).
>The ability to have objects doing things

C-structs work fine. In my experience, for things like games, C-structs are capable of doing everything you need objects to do. The lack of polymorphism and other OO stuff, makes C code easier to reason about and maintain.
Eternal Relics – The next generation multi platform MMORPG for serious gamers
Hello,

I am thrilled to share our Eternal Relics Kickstarter campaign with you, which was staff picked on our first day of launch :).

Eternal Relics is a fantasy MMORPG game in development for PC and mobile platform. Me and brother began working on the idea more than a year back, after which we assembled a team of very talented and passionate artists and developers to help us make this dream project a reality.

We have put our heart and soul into every detail of game elements so far and are ready to share the progress with the gamers and ask for your support.

We really hope you view more about our Eternal Relics project at http://kck.st/1OOenUd and help us reach our goal.
Thank for your comment!

"A certain statement like "You certainly are not responsible for other people.", is misleading and unhelpful because it suggests people who are tempted by relationships outside the home should go ahead and pursue them, even if it means feeling bad for being irresponsible towards your children and family."

For me that falls under taking responsibility for my own life. If I were to be constantly tempted it would be a signal something is wrong. I'd discuss this with my partner. Perhaps we should break up. The alternative is staying with him/her out of pity. Pity is not love, staying with someone out of pity is worse than leaving them imo. If my partner was constantly tempted but staying with me out of pity it would be the ultimate insult. I want my partner to be with me out of pure self-interest, because I'm the best choice, her favorite human being, her ultimate partner, the best she can get. I don't want to be a compromise.

I think that there is even a case to be made that leaving while you have children is better for them than keeping them in an unhappy marriage. You are certainly not giving a good show of what love is all about.

I do agree about the feeding, you certainly have the power to feed and deprive certain feelings.
My entire opposition to this is based on the idea that slowing an accelerating a train is grossly more inefficient in terms of pollution and fuel waste than just finding a way to get her to the next station on a transport that does not weigh as much. If I'm wrong about that I'm happy to go back to feeling nice about this.
It's sad that Gilad's obsession with Smalltalk led to this.

I feel that Dart could have been a more serious competitor in that space if it was fully statically typed. No optional types. This would lead to a more credible language and, obviously, a more performant one.

There was a separate issue with the 3.0L TDIs (which do use AdBlue) that VW had not informed the regulators of certain modes that the engine could enter due to temperature. This looks like that issue.

"Audi also shed light on the Auxiliary Emission Control Devices (AECDs) which the EPA had earlier labeled "defeat devices," confirming that the tech was part of a "warmup strategy" for the catalyst in the 3-liter emissions control system, and was thus completely different from the emissions-cheating software found in the 2.0-liter VW engines."

An ad-blocker doesn't care how "unobtrusive" or "un-annoying" your ad is.

The sure-fire way to defeat an ad-blocker is to serve the ad from the same domain as the parent site. If they did that, ad-blockers would suddenly not work, and would have to become a lot more complicated to figure out which code is an ad and which is normal content. It's fairly easy these days because they outsource the ads to other domains, so the ad-blocker just has to block anything pointing to doubleclick.com and friends.
