Hi! Your project is amazing, as is CodeMirror. A few months ago, I was looking for an editor for a personal blog/notebook. I'm a programmer and I often want to write down ideas about programming languages, so I wanted an editor that would combine WYSIWYG with a syntax-highlighting code editor. After a lot of effort, I managed to embed CodeMirror into the CKEditor, with almost seamless editing without any modal windows. Since you're the author of both a code editor and a WYSIWYG editor, it would probably be easier for you to implement this kind of functionality, which would be really amazing for many use cases!
But they burn quite good.

Great but no support for tables, I can't use it for now :(

So I use CKEditor because it support everything the client want but it is like a trade with the devil. It is the worst js lib I ever had the displeasure to use, it made one developer never want to be on my project again.
I needed to fix its sources, and have the non uglyfied code load in my app to debug it, because they only distribute working minimised merged js, I had to make the full sources load in webpack : pack all the js and load de dependancies in order following a config js file. The code is full of ridiculous timeout making the code unfollowable. Never use CKEditor !

I will gladly switch once it support tables.
The comments are pretty bad both ways, i.e. this whole thread is shameful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11152864

There's little constructive purpose for these bad faith remarks in threads like that in general (I've probably been guilty of some in the past myself). No need to slam one thing to raise up another - let tools stand on their own merit, and criticize based on that alone.

FWIW, I'm pretty heavily involved in the Angular community, and I respect what Facebook has done in creating & fostering React - I keep an eye on it because I love just about all things frontend on the web, even if I don't use React much (although I might use React Native for an app for a community I am a part of).

It's just damn hard to evaluate how many hundreds of thousands people was working for aerospace industry and what would that cost in country with market economy. There also R&D costs that was at least partially included for ISS while they was almost secret in USSR and most of documents on it are still not declassified since it's all military R&D.

See, I never said that fish does not have feelings or that fish have feelings. I think it is meaningless.

"Feelings" is an abstraction that makes it easier to explain human behaviour. With fish, asking questions like "does it have feelings", "does it have free will", "is it conscious" etc. is just the same as asking the same questions about machines: it does not help you to make any decisions about how to interact with it, so it does not matter.

Most of the exit polling breakouts I've seen have shown that (among Democratic primary/caucus participants) he does better among the young, among white voters, among people who have not participated in Democratic primaries/caucuses before, and among people who do not describe themselves as liberal, with Hillary doing better among the opposite groups.
The electrons in the graphene take on a special shape where they behave as if they had no mass. This means they can travel at a high speed and gives graphene its high electrical conductivity.
That coupled with the superconductivity make the prospect of a tiny high speed computer possible.
The other piece of importance was the manufacturing process used which will make it easier to manufacture and study graphene hopefully increasing the rate of understanding.
Generally speaking companies "extend" their patent by making a slight tweak to get a new patent. But that doesn't stop their old patent from expiring. And the old formula from becoming open to a generic.

So why aren't there generic versions of old formulations? Who cares if it doesn't have the latest tweak? The complain about such tweaks is that their minor and unimportant. Meaning the previous version should be just fine.

To clarify:

He doesn't believe that what Snowden leaked is true.

He doesn't believe the NSA is recording internet traffic / phone calls etc.

He doesn't believe multiple global intelligence agencies are working together to gather as much information as physically possible.

In short, he doesn't believe the NSA, etc. are doing the things Snowden said they're doing.

(Yes, I showed him the classified slides, he still doesn't believe it's true)
I had a similar thought a few years ago that it would have been in the government's interest to buy Pharmasset when they sold for $11B to Gilead based on the future potential of Sovaldi (the infamous $1,000/pill, 12-week treatment for Hepatitis C). The government through Medicare / Medicaid is currently spending upwards of $4B/year on the drug and private insurers and international buyers are spending billions more. It would've been an absolute net-win for humanity had the USGov or someone else just bought the company rather than giving Gilead billions in annual profits.
If the State's power is derived from the consent of the governed, then a lack of political participation on the part of the governed should be considered a vote of no confidence. This would solve the problem of imbalanced lobbying incentive, government overreach following tragedy, etc. Most importantly it would solve the moral problem that Thomas Jefferson pointed out: "The question whether one generation of men has a right to bind another..."

This story is so dumb, the character "Jae" was right -- don't call a cab when you're carrying illegal things in your purse. The character in the story destroyed the Taxy by causing it to swerve off a bridge. If graffiti supplies gets you 1 year in prison in this version of the future, I'm sure the penalty for destroying a car in an attempt to evade the police is maybe just a little bit higher.

This is not really dystopian or futuristic so much as it is realistic - if you do illegal things, then engage in suspicious behavior that attracts the attention of the police, you get arrested. Big surprise.

I could easily write a short story about withdrawing $300 from an ATM, driving to my drug dealer's house, parking outside of his house, waiting there for 15 minutes, then he climbs inside my car and the police light us up. At that point I could A. Plead the 5th and hire a lawyer when I get out of jail or B. Slip past the police and slash their tires before running into the woods and making my way back to my place - how heroic - before just getting arrested on way worse charges as soon as the police can get to my house

They're also the ones holding back generics to a dramatic degree via the FDA approval process, which would stop a biosimilar insulin from making it through. The government has entirely rigged the game. The statistical change in approvals is so dramatic and inverted, as to be implausible to be anything but intentional fraud on the part of the FDA. (why fraud you might ask? deceit for monetary gain: user fees paid by big pharma)

No I'm not. The keys will be acquired when necessary, if they haven't already.

That would be true if the goal was to gather forensic data from a single phone. As I stated above, it's foolish to look at this situation in isolation. The FBI's (and other government agencies) history of trying to restrict encryption and gain access to communication technologies says the government has other goals.

You might have noticed that there has been a propaganda campaign going for a while now that has been framing encryption as a "terrorist tool" that is causing law enforcement's investigations to "go dark". The goal isn't the phone; this is about framing Apple (and Silicon Valley in general) as impediments to public safety.

Right. That's the software stack. You may have to reinstall your OS at that point, but your motherboard is definitely not bricked.
That was a great episode - no one cared about Snowden or privacy until he explained to them that it meant government officials could see every dick picture they had sent or received.
What I was saying was that "rm -rf ." just won't work. You cannot delete the directory you are in directly ("." and ".." are not valid options).

If however you delete a directory that is higher up the directory tree (e.g. the parent directory), it will be deleted.

As far as I can tell this does not violate the POSIX standard[1], as that situation is left as undefined (since in theory the directory you are deleting will chain to the directory you are currently in which is open in the tty).

Edit: The rest of my previous comment was trying to say that the utility of being able to self destruct the current directory is arguable. Why should it be prevented (especially when it could just be hidden behind a flag to prevent accidental destruction)?

Edit2: D'oh. Forgot the reference:

The FBI or other agencies require things that cost money all the time. In this case, they offered to compensate Apple for they work. And it's disingenuous for Apple to say "create a whole new operating system". That's so absurd as to be pretty much a lie. What the FBI wants is not much more work than unlocking a door, just for more highly paid people.

And calling it "creating new technology" (not your words, but others'), is silly too. Doing almost anything with software is creating new software, but calling it new technology makes it sound like they have to go out and do a bunch of R&D and make some significant breakthroughs or something. In reality, it's a trivial thing.

To address the quote you posted, it sounds like Apple is probably lying there too. Especially given the vast exaggerations in other parts. I highly doubt they would have a hard time making a modified OS that was device locked.

But if it's really true that they can't make a device locked firmware, well, then of course I hope they win this fight.

But couldn't you argue that the problem is in the patent system, not in the free market? 3 companies holding on to patents longer than normal doesn't sound like a free market to me.

The idea that only SF would have an issue seems like fiction to me. Maybe there would be no issue for tech workers. But for the median income, there would still be issues. Prop 13 was passed because residents were being driven out of their homes due to tax bills from rising property values - my parents were nearly driven out of their house in San Jose before the passage of prop 13. And they bought it in 1972. I don't see how repealing prop 13 will necessarily remove a problem that existed before prop 13.
so the product they assume zero responsibility is the headline for their company?
My take on it is that Americans were introduced to the Espresso bar by Starbucks but since then the quality of other coffee places has improved dramatically and now Starbucks is the last place you want to get coffee unless you are stuck at a hotel that has percolator coffee which has insufficient caffeine to get a buzz.

Part of the issue is that Starbucks buys in such large quantities that it can't possibly get the best beans.

My impression also are than both New York and San Francisco have worse coffee than average than the U.S. I think part of it is that Starbucks has saturated those markets so that stock market analysts will say, "Starbucks is doing great, there are five of them on the same block as my apartment and four on the same block as my office."

Most of those people never go to the 49 flyover states (including 0.5 of NY and CA each) so they think the rest of the country has as many Starbucks and the stock stays high.

The proposal doesn't mention it, but part of the existing IPv6 address syntax is that, for transition mechanisms, it offers the option to embed a dotted format IPv4 address syntax in the end of an IPv6 address:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.2

Examples:
2001:DB8::13.1.68.3
::FFFF:129.144.52.38

In the suggested format, we'd lose this convenient transition feature and are left with:
20010DB8..d014403
..FFFF81903426

This is less clear than the existing method with the colons and dots.

If one decides, in this proposal, to support trailing IPv4 addresses as is currently supported, e.g., for IPv6-mapped-IPv4 addresses, some pretty ugly things happen:
20010DB8..13.1.68.3
..FFFF129.144.52.38

Is .13.1.68.3 a typo of an IPv4 address with missing whitespace or is it an IPv6 address with an IPv4 address embedded at the end?

And what about parsing "FFFF129"? Are we really going to change base from 16 to 10 between the "F" and the "1"?

Or are we going to introduce another separator, e.g., a leading "." on IPv4 addresses?

..FFFF.129.144.52.38

Or are we going to require that the ".." be the separator there?

0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FFFF..129.144.52.38

Or are we going to use the existing format for IPv6 addresses that embed IPv4 addresses, and another format only otherwise (Hint, of course one must support the existing 20 year old format.)

To add another historic complication for some implementations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-decimal_notation#IPv4_addr...

a leading zero on an IPv4 address octet meant that the byte is specified in octal.

One can easily argue that the best solution is to use a different special character, e.g., ":", for IPv6 rather than the IPv4 "." because leading zeroes had a special meaning in IPv4 syntax.

All in all, it looks to me like the early IPv6 community thought about the address syntax... a lot.

The definition of veganism is, a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.

If you write every day, and you've been published at a pro-rate previously, you most likely have something near-publishable in your trunk.

Obviously, the publisher needs to be discerning in what he actually buys. But if you're a writer trying to build a relationship with a new publication, I don't see any problem recycling work that didn't quite hit with some of the established markets.

If you're unpublished, or you've only been paid lower rates, you probably shouldn't be asking the question "Why should I submit here when I can submit to XYZ?" You should just tack the new publisher onto the end of the list, and when you've worked your story through the others, drop it here before it hits the trunk.
