>the only thing noticeably slower to me is start-up

That's a big pain point, if you switch between windows (e.g. browsers - including some tabs/incognito for testing etc.). After having used eclipse when I moved to ST 3/4 years ago. I realized what I was missing. Faster start time and switching is a must. I normally have 3/4 projects (i.e ST sessions open). And just using key board (ctrl-tab) switch between them, and its almost instantaneous.

I typically use it for coding Go, bit of C++ and web UI (javascript etc).

The fast feel is so good, that now, I think even if I need to start a Java project, I will try ST with some appropriate plugins.

Posting this from Addis. I have internet. The Ethiopians I know all have smartphones and internet. Viber is similarly popular to text messaging. I am very confused about this article. Lots of things are restrictive here but the article is super overblown. Maybe only 3.7% with wired internet? I'd believe that, everyone uses mobile here.

That's why I use TextMate ;) Honestly, it's got a great UX and is native for OSX. But hey, use whatever you enjoy.

I think the reason stems from fear of death. Very few people actively fear the NSA & government using this information to inflict harm on them to result in their or their loved ones demise. On the other hand, they see the news plastered with murders done with guns and now have some degree of fear.

> The real offense when we factor duplicated code is the new dependency that is added to the system.

A slight tangent on that note, but I think many of the problems with current web development result from the same root cause: adding yet another dependency to solve an almost trivial problem. Sometimes going to the extreme of for the sake of saving few keystrokes. Need one function to find an item in a collection? Reference Lodash. And then drop references all over the place.

Yes some dependencies are useful, but they all need to be handled with care. Wrap that search operation to an internal utility function and inject Lodash as its implementation if you don't want to reinvent the wheel. This is what DI is for (and nothing more).

Maybe the feedback of exploding the compile times as a result of a complex dependency graph would make people more sensitive to the issue. But then again, that did not prevent it from happening either. Oh well, it's not my codebase (yet).

Why not respond like this to the comment I was replying to? doki_pen said "Many Americans believe in following the law no matter what". Might this also be a tiny number of people when compared to the whole U.S. population? Speaking of the population, there are barely more than 300 million people in the entire country. I doubt there are that many 2nd Amendment activists.

The best way that I could explain it is with the phrase "out of sight, out of mind." Issues have much less of an impact if a person doesn't see and feel the direct consequences in their lives.

This sounds like a general problem with modern democracy. Theres so much going on that none of us can keep up with it, including the people who work in politics full-time. The inevitable result is an inability to make intelligent decisions in our own interests. The wisdom of the crowd is all that saves us, except when it doesn't.
Hi! Thanks for your interest.

> Have I considered making it a chrome plugin?

No, but you can run it by pasting 'javascript:' in the URL bar, followed by the contents of http://staticresource.com/dragon.js or as a bookmarklet in Chrome, but the real intended browser I was hoping to use this on was Mobile Safari - to rearrange sites via touch on limited hardware. It also works flawlessly on a $50 Amazon Fire tablet too!

What I created it for was the ability to load up a site, rearrange it, screenshot it - and refresh to have it return to normal (either for more screenshots or to use it). One reason this won't do what you're thinking it will 'saving the location to where you have dragged it' is that it does unexpected things when you resize the browser. If your browser always remembered where you positioned things I think it would quickly end up broken :/

> Can you implement an undo?

I was thinking about this last night. It is possible (you could remember the previous values for the top and left, then set those values when a keyboard key is pressed) but again the big target for this script for my use will be browsers without keyboard (for an undo shortcut) so I'd also need to add an on-screen undo button. I'm still thinking about this and how to accomplish it.

I have no idea, I just know it has happened in the past both with and without approval/consent of Mexican officials. I don't think they'd be super public about it either way. Either it happens very rarely and that's a safe way to evade capture, or it happens every day and people will stop running to Mexico.

Then you should have addressed that point in your first reply to randyrand. It was the entire point of his comment.

If you're just talking about the difference between economic profit and accounting profit, I'm well aware of the difference. My point stands.

> Taxes can also come out of the owner's opportunity costs if the have low elasticity of supply.

Not in the long, as I qualified. In the long run, the only thing owners of capital bring to the table is pure capital itself, and they will simply redistribute capital to the next most profitable venture, which in a large economy is essentially identical.
I thought that "harsh interrogation" was a codename for torture - or at least inhumane treatment, like the one afforded to Manning.

Are opinions on guns really divided along generational lines though? I mean going from my experience on Reddit, any time someone even suggests the U.S. should restrict gun ownership, that person gets a dozen or so upvoted replies reminding them that God gave Moses the 2nd Amendment on Mt Sinai. I find it hard to believe those are all baby boomers.

It's a shame GitHub puts effort into stuff like this as opposed to actually listening to their users (e.g. "Dear GitHub"). We can infer a shift from GitHub to alternate services soon from this, unless they change.
That's kinda false on multiple fronts.

First and foremost: From everything I've heard Google doesn't go out of their way to support any hardware besides Nexus devices, so if you use any different chips, you have to do your own work to get it to work.

Also, Google often ships Android versions non-compliant with carrier requirements. I remember when the last Nexus 7 rolled out, it's radios were compatible with Verizon, but they couldn't meet Verizon's standards for certification until a later patch level of Android. OEMs often have to bear the burden of making Android actually work on a carrier.

And finally, the further they get from proprietary Google Android (it's not AOSP if it has Google Apps), the more likely they solve the 'lack of profit' problem. Google saps up all of the potential revenue streams for a manufacturer with it's various apps and services that OEMs are forced to install. Many of their own apps and customizations offer them additional potential for income.
Yes. Also, there really was never a compelling reason to know node if you already had the skillset to use a language besides javascript.
It's probably better to discuss issues regarding the mechanics of Hacker News via email with dang because ordinary users can't change them and meta discussions are discouraged by the community.
I think you can ignore the effect of shadows from cars. If you look at satellite images of highways, the percentage of the road covered by cars is actually quite small (<5%, by length, I would estimate.) The reduced efficiency due to not orienting the panels at the optimum angle will be much greater.

Well first off I dont think anyone's going to come here and wave a scientific article proving or disproving the "laziness" of an entire race (Mediteranean Europeans), so there isnt really a true or false verdict.

"Something in between?" Ok let me expand on OP's "racist analysis." Humans dont think in complete logical arguments they use narratives that align with their understanding of the world. A particularly destructive narrative is one that whole peoples, whole countries, are doomed because of racial degeneracy. Economic growth as well as debt figures that align with that narrative feed it, but the narrative completely ignores historical factors, especially in this case that a group of technocrats came to every country in Europe promising some things that sounded great under a single currency, when in fact it killed the economies of the mediteranean countries which are based on high quality exports while setting the perfect environment for the rise of ikea et al. Now not only are the countries worse off economically than they were before, but they are said to be "culturally unfit" for the 21st century. The world is a complicated place, and simplistic narratives that historically align with something as destructive and ugly as racism should be examined before you say "so what"

The irony in the whole situation is that it was only a half dozen decades ago that much of the US was controlled by southern italian families! These two swede's vision for the future is basically a vanilla version of Sicily and Naples anyway. Government with no power while people network without oversight sounds great, except that its the very power vaccuum that allowed for the rise of Gomorrah, Cosa Nostra, the five american families, and mafias all over the world.
I hate needless abstractions for the sake of removing duplication, DRY, etc. It's mad. Most of these languages don't have proper macros and so you end up going through these logical contortions to achieve a particular pattern of behavior... and it's just noise. Anyone who comes along can look at that code for hours and never know whether it performs any work (or even what that work is).

A little duplication is fine until you figure out what the real problem is. The problem is usually in your data. Maybe it's not structured properly or you need to simplify the steps to transform it at an earlier stage.

A good specification will go a long way to reducing the desire to introduce hapless "abstractions." An abstraction, in the mathematical sense, will hold over the domain and introducing a new one merely allows you to manipulate objects on the lower level using new algebras, predicates, etc.

Code abstractions are often the leakiest abstractions. Especially the kind the author is talking about. Avoid them. Even if you have a little bit of duplication. Only start worrying about that duplication when it starts spanning compilation units/modules/whatever and is actually causing problems. Then look at the data and figure out how to structure it so you don't need that code all over the place.
The contention is whether the valuables are being traded voluntarily for welfare, or whether they are being taken by force (i.e. stealing). Presumably Danish citizens can choose whether to claim welfare or not.

Also, while a normal person might suppose that all jewellery must be of "affectional value", I doubt the Danish state sees it the same way.

Anatomy Park: The Anatomy of an Experimental Organization
Can I ask what you mean with large files? I haven't tried Atom in a while but I recall it having issues with something as small as 2MB.

Granted, I typically use Sublime in a way that others probably do not...more for manipulating / viewing data than actual coding. Outside of HTML, JS & CSS, I tend to use IDEs for development (VS for C#, XCode for ObjC and Jetbrains for most everything else). Maybe Atom isn't meant for that type of use and it much more suited for use as something akin to an IDE.

All that being said, I have found nothing that compares to Sublime for simple data viewing / manipulation (regex)...it seems to have no issues with 100+ MB files where as I don't even know if Atom could open something that large.
Warhammer Vermintide used it, I believe.
Not an American, but it really comes down to fear, and the illusion of safety; the TSA is a perfect example. A gun doesn't keep you or your family safe, but it gives you the illusion of safety. Government surveillance is the same, since the rhetoric is that it will keep America safe from terrorists, yet like the TSA and guns, when we look at the data, all of these provide no tangible benefit, and often great harm.
Then management should be made aware that they're incurring technical debt by taking that decision. It can be worth compromising code quality for short-term goals on occasion, but you should do it with your eyes open.

Germany? Who are doing the same as Denmark? Holland (Doing the same), Switzerland? (Doing the same)

There is a context to why Denmark do what they do which is a very liberal social security system.

Exactly. When it comes to text editors there's Emacs and there's Vim. The rest are passing fads that seem to appeal mostly to trendy kids.
IMHO, the keeping of guns acts as a crutch [0] that lulls people into thinking they can always fight back when the true time comes. I believe they think there's no need to prematurely worry about mass surveillance (thus Snowden is a criminal), because if the ultimate results are used wrongly, then their guns can be used to put an end to it.

Of course the same pathology applies to democracy itself, so out of the (ballot, jury, ammo) boxen, the only avenue us individualists really have left is the S-box.

[0] Please don't misjudge my perspective - I think people have the right to keep and bear whatever tools regardless of purpose. And I think the 2A, as written, quite obviously covers fully auto, explosives, and armored vehicles. It should perhaps have been revisited with the advent of nuclear weapons though. A good legal test would be stewardship - what type of weapons can an individual/group practice with and store without causing harm to others?

I could totally see a visual web editor that could work by dragging things around like this, with the css properties in a sidebar updating as you drag things around. And it could also work for "power users" by letting you edit the css directly, like you would in the browser Inspector.

I myself like to design in the browser to quickly see changes but sometimes Inspect element > Manually track and copy all changes to actual editor gets a little annoying.

ah, the places like Manali and Malana bring back fond memories from few years back, a month spent in the area. this stuff grows everywhere wild, I mean EVERYWHERE - even in central park in the middle of biggest provincial city. banning this on state level didn't affect consumption, just gave corrupt police a way to extort some proper cash on those poor tourists that got caught. it seemed that within certain altitude band (say 2000-3300m), this flower was at home (seen it also in abundance in nepal on annapurna circuit).

going to India as backpacker for at least several weeks, ideally months is experience out of this world. so intense, so complex, so different and exotic. After 2 months there, memories of my life back in europe seemed no more than memories of a distant surreal dream. it's a harsh and beautiful place full of amazing people. cannot recommend enough.

as for strength, cannot really compare since the stuff is uber-powerful. but so is moroccan and all other.
> Hundreds of tables?

Not picking sides on this whole thing - but cutting the sensationalism on this comment a bit.

WordPress's default database structure isn't complex at all. If you have an abnormally large amount of tables, that's probably because you're using a bunch of plugins to do simple easy things - your own self created Hell that you kind of deserve for being plugin crazy lazy developer.

There's basically these main tables to care about:

- `wp_posts`: for posts...

- `wp_postmeta`: for post meta...

- `wp_options`: for global defaults...

- `wp_terms`: for taxonomies...

- `wp_users`: for users...

- Some others / relationships / comments / etc...

Pretty simple - nothing complex going on at all. The biggest problem used to be that there wasn't a meta table for `wp_terms`. The "standard" was to actually save taxonomy/term meta in the `wp_options` table with it's own key value reference. Terribly not normalized, terribly inefficient at scale.

My beef has never been too much tables but the lack of tables. There definitely needed to be a `wp_termmeta` table. Fortunately, it was added in WordPress 4.4. For perspective though, I think that was only a month ago.

There's a standalone command line client too [2], but it requires a bit more knowledge of how to tweak the settings, while Aspera and the Globus client does a lot of auto ranging stuff.

In any case, both of them will easily get you line speed from your slowest node.

> A gun doesn't keep you or your family safe

Defensive gun use is far more common in the USA than murders by firearms:

http://guncite.com/gun_control_gcdguse.html

> when we look at the data, all of these provide no tangible benefit, and often great harm.

No tangible benefit? Even 100,000 people saved by guns annually (the low end number) is "tangible benefit".

According to the CDC, there are 11k homicides by firearms:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

If you look at other countries, when guns are banned there is a shift from guns to other methods of killing ,but not a significant decline in homicides.

This is what you see when looking at the data.
