When was the last time you used Atom?

It's definitely not the fastest opening editor, and it does have performance issues, but they tend to be more rare than common.

The 2 that bite me are:

* the update/install screens in the settings tend to be a bit slow

* opening "large" files that have 1000+ characters per line will either hang or crash the browser depending on the size. If it's a "normal" looking source file, it runs like a dream with files up to 5gb+ (the largest i've used it for), but if it's something like a minified javascript file, a few kb is enough to hang the editor.

Outside of those 2 issues, i don't see any lag or stuttering in my normal use, and i've got about 70 plugins on top of the defaults.

But to answer your question, it's the customizability and the massive number of plugins that draws me. Plus it's fucking beautiful, and i know this isn't the most popular opinion, but if i'm going to stare at this thing for 6+ hours a day, i want it to look good!

Of course a bad photo doesn't become art by applying a filter. But artists have always used tools to create art. Now they have another powerful tool that lets them do amazing things that wouldn't have been possible a year ago.
Thanks. I still can't believe that my little hack of a makefile became so popular ;-). I wish my other personal projects grew as popular as it. It started as personal "executable documentation" to keep sanity in the early days of esp8266 hacking, where there were lot of duplication and big binary blobs flying around (VMs, binary toolchains of questionable licensing). All the real kudos go to @jcmvbkbc who quickly implemented esp8266 support in GCC and maintains it well since then. My little project just makes his and other work accessible to almost everyone who can type few commands in a terminal, with as much as possible build from source (and thus available for tweaking). And the fact that it became popular means that OpenSource is not just an empty motto.

The issue tracker for js2-mode illustrates that such a parsing approach is no guarantee of real-world accuracy either.

https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode/issues

The goal just shifts from having a semi-accurate regexp tokenizer, to having the language mode's complex parser match the complex parser of the language it targets—which will pretty much never happen, unless the language is exquisitely simple, like maybe restricted dialects of Scheme... or Brainfuck.

I've never heard about type inTERference, but I'm sure that if something like that existed, it would have little to do with type inference which you probably meant :)

Coffeescript is not perfect, however, nowadays people went crazy for ES6/ES2015, and suddenly nobody complains readability of babel output.

I've worked with both, ES6 is definitely a big progress on Coffeescript, but it takes like 80% of the things from coffee IMO, except the indentation syntax and list comprehension, added an `import` keyword.

My point is: don't complain about coffeescript while cheer at ES6, they are mostly the same.
I don't see anywhere that they charge for anything. It's looks more like they are collecting email addresses to send their content.
Possibly this is biased, but I'm not sure I'd ever seen this kind of financial self-help book till I saw them in the US. I flicked through a few books expecting basic info about compound interest or whatever but instead it was all "if you believe hard enough then the money will be magnetically attracted to you" and similar woo. A very strange experience.

Sort of. I find reading other people's stories gives me "permission" to do and try things.

I'm naturally quite a retiring person, but getting candid explanation of people's techniques and approaches has given me the "if they can do that, I can try it too" attitude numerous times (as has HN and numerous blog posts, to be fair - I can pinpoint certain things I've done to being inspired by specific pieces of content).

That didn't sound negative at all. I really appreciate all the feedback and suggestions. Just one more question if you don't mind. From the description I gave you about the app what do you think of it? Do you see potential? I've been asking around for feedback and thoughts on it and just trying to get an idea of whether it is worth pursuing.
I liked the 4 hour work week. Sure many here have probably read it. Title sounds cheesy, and I was ready to think it belongs on an infomercial. But throughout the book a step by step process on testing products, figuring out whats the best channel for ads, then how to negotiate better deals on the ads. It's a lot of work that many aren't willing to put in.

Read Rich Dad Poor Dad before. There are criticism online about how they aren't real people. But it does display different mindsets, and how that mindset will change the perception of an event -> action taken because of the event.

And to your question of the majority of rich people reading these books. Meh. Not sure the majority, but the more interviews I read/listen/watch from wealthy people there are certain books they have in common, for example Tony Robbins (haven't read any of his books yet). Not to say the majority of self help books aren't total fluff.

Personally, the only bad interview experiences I've had were not at startups, but at the big name co's. There's maybe one exception to this, a startup (extremely well funded by bay area standards) that was arrogant enough to expect me to show up without confirming my availability. They hired someone else who did show up on that day and didn't bother to tell me about it. I wouldn't want to work in such a company anyway.

Mostly though, startups have made it a really amazing experience. They have made a real effort to fit the misfits and I owe my career to them.

Ask HN: DOCX to Markdown and Markdown to DOCX
I am looking for solution that would allow me to convert DOCX to Markdown and also the reverse. I would like to be able to support embedded pictures as well as tables. Is there such a system?

My ultimate goal is to be able to track the documents as Markdown in a git repository.

I came across this

which has some conversion from Markdown to PDF but I do not see PDF to Markdown.

"Tolerating bullshit is absolutely not (valuable)."

I agree with this bottom line, but I sense a lot of politics in there around what is/isn't called bullshit. Getting opinions when you ask for them is valuable, having to fight your way against your employees (for them to do something you are paying them for) is absolutely not.
No, it wouldn't count. Because then we would have some thousands of bohemian rhapsodies. An art expression would perhaps be the whole bunch of works together (if you managed to give them a sense of being), and the artist would be whoever devised the program that created them. But individually, it would be have the same art value as those pictures sold in IKEA. Beautiful yes, but not art by themselves.

Edit: art is not art because "just works" or because it's likeable. Art goes way beyond what just works or the search for beauty. See the Viennese actionism for example: http://www.theartstory.org/movement-viennese-actionism.htm

Uber gave CT a 20% discount. I took a ride last night, and the driver was complaining that he just does not make enough money with the 20% discount. He is planning to stop driving shortly and do something else.

One of his big complaints is that the smallest possible fair is around $5-$6 and Uber takes around $2.80 he said so he only gets $3 for short rides. $3 is not worth his time.

When iMessage was created SMS wasn't free on almost every data plan. That's a huge part of why it exists. I say it sucks because they charge for it at all when it doesn't actually cost them anything to provide and they aren't doing a heckuva lot of R&D work on SMS. It's also slower than iMessage and doesn't support delivery confirmations or read receipts.

Signal is great. It would be awesome if more people used Signal. But iMessage is the next best thing IMO and it has what really matters: users.
Answer depends on whether we're looking only at the end product, ignoring the process, but common convention is to qualify the end product name using words like artificial or drawn by an elephant to reduce confusion and to differentiate.

> I wasn't aware consumer protection was quite that bad in the USA

You're of course blaming the wrong culprit. That's on IKEA for not offering a warranty.

Companies should not be forced to offer warranties on products. Instead companies should mostly be left to compete on their offerings. A minimum warranty time won't make sense from one product to another. Six months for this, seven years for that, 90 days for this. Inserting bureaucrats into the process of setting warranties on products is just another small but wonderful way to add to the endless parade of regulation that has seen most of Western Europe's growth plummet to almost nothing for a decade.

KDD-CUP Data Archive, the Annual Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Competition
Oh. I didn't know this. They seem like workable, lever.

However, there is something fundamentally different - they're just an assistant and automatic job applier, converting to pdfs, creating cover letters etc. I wouldn't offer that. I'd aim this initially to only tech-savvy people like developers, engineers - you get the picture. I'm sure they don't need help with converting to pdf and formatting. They don't need help with applying. They do however need a way to track their application progress, as I have applied to a couple of companies 10+ and at times it was tedious to track all of them.

I meant something more like an actual job process tracking tool and a data tool for your own use.

You apply for a job - tracked progress - landed the job. You landed couple actually. You go to the offer page and compare the benefits at a glance via graphs, summary's etc.

Lets say you searched for a job, you've sent 30+ applications, logged the process etc. You got hired (woohoo). Something doesn't work out after 6 months or after 2,3 years you start feeling burnt out and want to move on. You look back and see where you applied, how was the process, email the recruiter etc. You see they didn't reply while you had the necessary qualifications and they didn't provide you with a great feedback. You consult google and the tool which might have public database by now that is huge - realizing they didn't change. You don't waste time.

Downvotes aren't supposed to mean "I disagree", they are supposed to mean "this doesn't contribute anything useful or insightful or discussion-furthering to the thread"

Saying "I'm doing this this weekend!" doesn't contribute anything, there's no information of value to be gained from it, nothing to learn, nothing to think about. It was a waste of time to post. So it gets downvoted so the rest of us don't have to spend a second reading a useless comment.

All those useless seconds add up. The downvotes make us all better off in the long run.

This case was very well covered at the time. Top 3 things I've learned from this story:

1. If you sell do your company, never do it for all-stock (or at least almost never)

2. Have a plan B in case the company who aquired you goes bankrupt - the very next day.

3. No one will care about your company as much as you do. So don't outsource important parts of the process such as: reading all the paperwork and checking references of the acquirer.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking could transcribe continuous speach in the late 90's at nearly full speed, it was amazing. But then it disappeared, this explains it.

Moral of the story: don't ever pay upfront for deal advice because interests aren't aligned, light a fire under the due-diligencers by making it a % of the deal.

Not everyone at Goldman is evil I can vouch for that personally, but also not everyone there (or in M&A / wall st circles) doesn't gradually acquire some degree of jaded entitlement or dispassionate, insular inhumanity either... that's what a city and high earnings does to some people. Plus, not knowing business, not having a strong relationship with an IB and not doing your own due-diligence are all contributing personal failures. Regardless, the other party spears to have committed fraud and Goldman seems it didn't completely live up to its fiduciary duty in this instance. The nails in these employees' coffins is not meeting with the press to express reasonable and legally-defensible answers, it makes them look guilty. (You've got to know when a blanket best-practice such as not speaking to the press during ongoing legal matters should be broken without compromising the case.)

It's not because in the past (I mean 500 years ago) art was produced by doing something different from what existed that you should conclude that "art is about being original", even less that "art is revolt against what was previously done". These facts, if always true, are just consequences of another, much higher, goal of the artist.

It's because modern artists started thinking that _the goal_ of art was to be original that we came to this situation.
Wow. Lots of detail.

Well, yes. It's a hypervisor only product. It also requires you to use VMware's tools to manage, and that closed architect poses road blocks to integrating it into a larger hybrid cloud environment. To basically do anything resembling what a real business would want, youd need to throw big bags of money at VMware to get more features. You can build all that in the open with KVM.

Ask HN: How on earth can you follow the “RfR: Basic Income” thread?
(For reference, it is this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10982340)

I've started to read through it several times, as new content gets added constantly. But it's getting more difficult by the moment. Most of what I see seems not new, but I see the counter going up.

If you are actively participating you can follow your threads, but what about the 99% of us that didn't? It is not easy at all.

Just to put things in perspective, to jump from the first subthread (tptacek) to the next one (surfmike) I've had to put my finger on the screen to track indentation and hit New Page 72 TIMES. And that's only gets me to about a third down the page.

I believe it is showing one of the limitations of this minimalistic platform - it works great for small threads, but big ones get unwieldy.

Part of it is the failure to spin off new threads on separate themes, that normally happens whenever people start browsing on their own for new information, and post new interesting links to HN.

It would be great to see some UX changes like folding comments, or others that, I don't know, help structure posts so subthreads can be spinned off to a new post or something.

Any ideas? It would be great to have one of these big comment stories be the tipping point for some functionality to change!
> Wealth isn't created in a vacuum. Wealth can only be created in places with a high level of social order. That social order isn't created by exceptional individuals, it's created by the behavior and attitudes of ordinary people. Given that, why should societies not structure themselves to maximize the prosperity of the majority?

This is a brilliantly-succinct summary of something that conservative politicians should shout from the house tops. It's reminiscent of Elizabeth Warren's famous remarks on fairness during the 2012 campaign. [1] Rayiner, I continue to be bowled over by your socio-political acumen.

Page faults are a "trap" rather than an "interrupt", aren't they? In that they're internal to the CPU-MMU system and delivered synchronously.

The answer is a good stackexchange answer in that it's about a page long and covers all the key points. It gives a link to "page" for those who want to understand that subsystem. It's not necessary to include a whole computer architecture course.
