Thank you for your feedback

1) There is a shocking amount of credible market research that all point towards the growing and dominant power of consumer reviews. With better access to information, multiple choices of goods and services, and the opportunity to share experiences with a single click, consumers have become empowered to do their own research on purchases.

There has also been a strong prevailing sentiment that the press cannot be trusted as these reviews are incredibly biased due to fear of losing continued sponsorship. I would expand more into it but these studies explain it better and more comprehensively than I ever could: The Deloitte Consumer Review and the "Buy It, Try It, Rate It" study from Weber Shandwick.

2) We have multiple measures in place to monitor and ensure quality reviews that aren't driven just to receive the rebate itself. Such measures include a set and structured product reviewing process, and a user-ranking system that rewards high quality reviews. We plan to heavily curate our user base through similar strategies from companies such as Quora and Yelp.
I highly doubt that "Winux" will really result in a large increase of people learning CLI tools. People that want to use those tools already have way that they're doing so. Consider that most people have difficulty using a basic word processor, much less Unix tools.
Mapping the processes across implies all sorts of strange things - what happens if you try to send a Linux signal to a Windows process?

Mapping the users is possible and "SFU" did this, with a couple of caveats (Windows requires group and user names to be different, while UNIX systems often have groups with the same name as users).

I don't think this is a Linux or GNOME killer, but it might put a dent in Cygwin and git-bash.

I wonder if this will mean more and more servers are going to be sued. I've been playing on private servers since 2012, I play hours each day, and the future does not look very bright if this keeps happening I'm afraid...

Just two days ago I started my journey as a blood elf hunter :-)

The problem with private servers is that they seem to be addicted to OVH. I get it that it's cheap, has nice routes and usually they don't give a damn about what you host, but it's a single point of failure. I wonder if many of those servers are about to move to Ukraine (Russia) or something like that :-)

Ah, and believe me, some of them make ludicrous amounts of money, have paid employees, etc. It's not just a community. They all forked MaNGOS or TrinityCore and starting piling up their fixes on top of it (which they don't have to share because it's GPL, not AGPL), but some chose to pay their developers!

I'm happy to answer any questions about what it's like to play on private servers or how some stuff works in the technical side, or the community, or whatever!
Sounds similar to Kakoune (http://kakoune.org/) but with Sam expressions
Carbon tax isn't sufficient either. It would lower the demand in one country, but the same fossil fuels could be shipped to another country and burned there. Until the demand for fossil fuels decreases below the cost it takes to extract them from the ground. That cost is low, and could get lower with improving technology.

Instead there should be a tax on taking carbon out of the ground or importing it into the country. A tax so high that it becomes economically unviable to do it. Anything else is political games.
Ask HN: Vim vs. sublime like editros?
Hi. What's your opinion about using vim in today's practice?
When there are moden editors with easy to manage plugins and packages why what's the use of vim?

How many of you guys are using vim? Plus also in a GUI aspect modern editors look better than vim.
I would bet that it will only get better over time and include a fair amount of the things you are talking about in a few years time. It's obviously a big push to pick up the current "I use a mac for development cause it's unix" crowd, I'm sure they're taking it seriously and would want the support for developing in a unix style A+.
Since debt is cheep, that's all the more reason to invest in the future :) Since intrest rates are so low, it is seriously cheeper, even if rail were more expensive in the long run, just to throw money at rail and let that debt dissapear into inflation.
Obviously you can't just eat your way to a six pack. If you're trying to make a point worthy of an "and yet" prefix, it's lost on me.

You can get fat by eating too much protein. Or too much fat. Intense overeating of any macro-nutrient is a bad idea. The thing is, it's harder (though by no means difficult) to overeat fat or protein.

The dangerous thing about carbohydrates is they are by far the easiest to overeat, and may have the greatest health consequences. That's a scary combination.
I really concerned about ownership of everything today.

Recent events such as Nest from Google, a company can decide to shutdown your device. Cellphones that don't come with root are the trend. Recent games require player to stay online for completely nothing other than DRM purpose. And by the way, how can someone in Tesla just downgrade people's car because he got root?

This is just the beginning of kill switch. Big companies just field testing how tolerate customers are nowadays. Once the new become the norm, you don't know what comes next.

Thanks for commenting! :D

By testing/launch platform, we mean that we're making a place where new startups can launch their products. Our vision is that makers will launch first on our platform, and this will help them gain initial traction and consumer feedback to help them further improve their products.

By superuser-level reviews, we just mean really detailed and aesthetically pleasing (for both the consumer and the maker) reviews that we hope will help makers take their products to the next level!
They always tried to be Microsoft developer friendly, and I think sort of assumed that UNIX was going to go away when they won. But it's now clear that UNIX has won for web services, and the web has beaten old-style client-server. And
the Windows remote admin/cloud admin/mass deployment features appear to have lost as well.
A fair bit. You need to become a windows insider, if you aren't one already, opt in to insider builds (which can take a couple of days) and then install the insider preview.

Not worth it if you're just wanting to try it out, but if you want to test it and feed back, then knock yourself out!
I agree with you (strongly about medium, though I disagree about blogger). Or, to put it in terms more related to the article...

Medium is nouveau riche, LJ is authentic aristocracy. If you think Medium is "nice middle-class", it means you're lower-middle-class.

PS: I can't tell if I'm kidding or not.

PPS: what does it say about my class that I thought these post-scripts are a good idea?
Why was the swastika included in the Japanese list? While it has pretty bad connotations, particularly in the west, in Japan it retains a pre-World World II meaning of holy and sacred.

I feel like this seems like a way more developed strategy for keeping developers engaged... dotnet going open source and multiplatform is a pretty big gesture for just a downward trend thing.
It wouldn't be that hard to define a "maths subset". The fact that there are javascript LaTeX equation renderers clearly means other people have done it. Here's an example:

https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/wiki/Function-Support-in-KaTeX

You just need to standardise it. There's no need to include all of LaTeX in a standard that is just for rendering equations.
I'm still wondering if anybody has an elegant solution to this (seemingly simple) text positioning problem:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20443220/how-to-absolutel...
XML is unreadable and unwritable for any markup-heavy document, and math expressions tend to be more markup than text.
You can already render LaTeX equations with javascript. It would be madness to include everything but a safe subset of commands that are commonly used to render maths would be fine.
I back up everything I save to Pocket into Pinboard (via IFTTT) because I know it's not going to randomly dick about with my experience like Pocket sometimes does and also that it's much less likely to flame out/sell out/"continue our journey with [CORP]" and shaft me.

(In fact, I have a whole bunch of IFTTT rules to save "faves" into Pinboard from Flickr, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
Yes, but that's per HOUR not per 10 minutes. And you cannot multiply by 6 and put in 6 lanes, because Vaclav square is only 3 lanes wide and is a PEDESTRIAN area. Also, 6 lanes wouldn't work at that capacity, because people would have to cross those lanes. Also, that capacity is for driving through, not stopping and getting on/off.
Previously we had western European truckers suffering big time from the competition of lower paid eastern European truckers.

Now with this driverless technology both eastern and western drivers will have no job at all.

AFAIK there are no replacement jobs to offer them and on top of that there are more than one million refugees that came in Europe last year that will be available on the job market.

Honestly I think the EU have no long term vision at all. They just get pushed by whatever corporate agenda "du jour".
When I read this, I feel old. When I dabbled in 3D graphics back in the day, you were not supposed to use (DirectX) retained mode. Immediate mode was the faster and closer to hardware option.

I know the terms mean something else than 15 years ago (retained was a scenegraph model, put a box here, a model there; whereas immediate meant draw triangles yourself every frame), but still :-).
That's where I'm sitting. Sometimes I want to jump between gaming and working on personal development projects. Even with an SSD, rebooting anytime I want to do that is just a pain.
The Government is (pretending to) do something about this - we've had a huge increase in "apprenticeships", but a lot of those are just shops counting their shelf-stackers as apprentices because it means they don't have to pay the minimum wage.
Thank you. This works for me.

I've always found the reflexivity of class to be somewhat interesting. Economically, my family is in the bottom quartile of the country—but it never felt like that. They definitely raised me with "upper class" values and attitudes. (For example, there was never even a shadow of a doubt about whether I'd attend college.) My grandparents, on the other hand, were quite well off.

As such, I've always felt more comfortable and fit in with people whose families have incomes vastly exceeding my family's.
We're still in the process of solving it but I would be against the rest of the sentence :)
Yes, easier to just wait some time until the "Windows 10 Anniversary Update" goes public for everyone.

Will surely be installed automatically like the November Update.
As the producer of the "video" (it is actually ASCII, you can copy paste stuff out of it) I agree, here is an annotated version:

- x/pattern/ extracts stuff from the text, creates a selection for every match
- some normal vi motions are used to modify the selections, "o" to move the
cursor from one end of the selection to the other, "w" to move the cursor
to the start of the next word
- y/,/ similar to x/ but create a selection for everything which does not match,
hence splitting the existing selection into multiple ones
- \ trim selections i.e. remove leading and trailing white space
- v/Vis keep all selection not matching Vis
- g/F|C keep all selection matching F|C
- + rotate selection contents on the same line
- v/Com keep all selection not matching Com
- + rotate some more
- ESC clear selections, ESC remove all cursors
- x/pattern select different regions
- .,/^\} extend selection by searching in forward direction until the first match
of } at the start of a line
- { i/#if 0\n/ a/\n#endif/ } insert some text before every selection with i/text/
and append some text after every selection with a/text/

- change file, select similarily indented code block using a text object: vi<Tab>
- x/\w+ extracts all words from selection
- Tab align selections
- C-c remove first selection column (i.e. remove first selection on every line)
- Esc clear selections, switch to normal mode, move to next { with f{
- i<S-Tab> goto insert mode and align cursors

- search a variable, select it with C-n
- C-n select next match
- C-x skip this match, that is clear it and select next match
- C-n select next match
- c vi change operator, delete selection, switch to insert mode
- rename the variable, switch back to normal mode
- undo the changes

Too long.

I faced this problem while interning in the Google Chrome team and working on Chromium. Most of my time was used by reading the source code and figuring out the bigger picture of how classes and methods play together. I actually came to the conclusion that the big problem is that current tooling does not really support a developer on the task of reading existing source code. So I started building a new tool, Coati, an interactive source explorer for C/C++ based on clang. After using Coati myself for about half a year now, I can say that it really helps me navigate through the codebase quicker.

The tool is still at an early stage. We recently launched our website with a first release version: https://www.coati.io/

Do you think Coati is a tool that can help you?

Apply HN: IoQS – Message-based service to measure and track anything
IoQS is a general case of internet of things, to make quantified self easier. (Name is a blend of the two: Internet of Quantified Self)

Our service accepts tagged messages from users, where the tag applies data in the message to a category. Users can configure alerts from the service to be sent to them as reminders to send in data.

Sample use case: instead of a bluetooth or wifi connected bathroom scale that sends weights to a remote database, IoQS reminds the user every morning to weight themselves and message the result to the service. Reminders help build habits, and the user doesn't need new hardware to collect data.

This lets users measure things that are subjective or are hard to measure - such as mood, food eaten, time spent in various activities. Being a general case, the user can choose to measure whatever is important to them. Such things can change with time, and this lets users experiment without having to purchase expensive hardware they may only use for a few weeks.

Once the data from an IoQS message is in the cloud, there are many possibilities for comparison with other data sources, graphing, and forming insights for the user. Data can be shared for friendly competition, or possibly with a doctor for medically-relevant tracking.

We've got a prototype in private beta using SMS messages for the reminders and user-entered messages. Thinking of building native-apps next to lower text fees, but started with SMS to make it platform independent.

Looking forward to feedback, questions, or opportunities!

I'm considering the masses. But many in higher-education are on Windows (my experience here in the Netherlands). I can imagine that, for instance, they will use Winux at some point.

Same for some IT professionals that use Windows (either since their job demands it, or out of preference). They might install Winux at some point to get some aspect of their work done faster. Again a lower barrier to get your CLI skills up and get comfy with common open source tools.

I believe there is a lot of value in "CLI skills and common open source tools" that Windows users are currently missing out on.
That was my explicit point in the first two sentences. The parts are here. Add a transparent box to a soon existing drone, add self-driving and you have a flying car.

Military drones fly themselves already. There will be routing systems for drones when e.g. Amazon starts to deliver packets to the home. And so on.

(But not necessarily helicopter. Note the "If the drone can land vertically". You could do this with a drone air plane. If the transparent box (passenger compartment) is moved automatically to/from an automated taxi to a drone, you have a point-to-point taxi service anywhere.)

Edit: The next logical step is a trailer home with solar energy -- move it anywhere with a taxi large helicopter airlift. Drones deliver groceries, while you enjoy the view from your mountain top, far from any roads.
Have you had any feedback from colleagues that have found that useful?
Are you dismissing this article because you consider it too trivial?

Getting elements to align nicely in CSS is a real pain point for a lot of developers. The popularity of layout frameworks is also evidence of that. It's not trivial to take a design from balsamiq or photoshop and replicate it in CSS. Tricks such as this can make it a lot easier to do with CSS rather than relying on javascript tweaks.

I've seen functions attached to window.resize which are principally there to resize a whole bunch of elements dynamically so they still fit together well on a new layout.

There are two sides to every coin. I think both Techcrunch and your assessments are valid. It would not be hard to paint the USA as a totalitarian state run by organized crime and where half of the people live under some acceptable standard of living.
All good points, it would be insane to include a full TeX engine in the browser.

But for just rendering equations, I don't think you can beat TeX for ease of use. And most of the criticisms then don't apply - you can void the insane macro system, it doesn't require multiple passes, etc. I guess lack of CSS support could still be an issue.
No, WebRTC cannot make normal TCP connections so it can't be used to connect to a classic client. In theory all bittorrent software could implement WebRTC connections though
As I understand it, vendors will probably have paying clients for Linux desktops for some time to come. It is very hard to imagine a situation where the demand for a Linux desktop become so low that no-one will maintain the required software infrastructure.
What about character sets? Do I still need to 'chcp 65001' from the DOS prompt to type/cat utf-8 encoded text files before running bash?
The Fed's non-action on BI is pretty simple to explain: the US Federal Reserve has no mandate or authority to do such a thing.

The Fed's mandate is twofold:

1. Control inflation.

2. Control unemployment.

Typically these are in opposition.

The Fed doesn't have a mandate to, say, maintain wages at a specific level, which might be a far more useful concept than simply raising unemployment (unemployment could be reduced by having everyone work for $0.01/hr, but this wouldn't be sufficient for survival).

Hence, your opening.
That was a heart-stopping day given how many Pinboard rules I have.
You can create content on tablets, and some of it is excellent content.

Development isn't done on tablets because the input devices we have to make code are limited to a keyboard, and most people think text files are code, rather than a serialisation/deserialisation format for an AST.

You could easily build an AST with gestures and speech rather than tapping buttons, and I think in 10-20 years time that's how we'll make software.
What was that posted here?
I presume this was intentional, but I found your first paragraph hard to read. I had to go through it twice to get the meaning of each sentence down.

In contrast, I find the "ornamental" language of the essay itself to flow easily. It's all part of the register we're typically accustomed to. Shibboleth, for example, is instantly recognizable to me (though it always reminds me of The West Wing).
Apply HN: FORUM – A public conversation app
getforum.co

FORUM is social app available on Android (public bêta) that propose to user to share their thoughts (400 chars max) on any subject they want. The particularity is that each thought can be:

- the beginning of a public chat conversation with someone. The conversation will be displayed automatically like it is in a messaging app (whatsapp, messenger, telegram)

- the beginning of a long post. If you reply to yourself. The post (or story) will be displayed nicely like a blog/Medium post.

- the thought can also be a one shot status like it is in a social network.

In other words. Forum propose to unify the experience of a social network(public status), a blogging platform ("thoughts storm"), a messaging app throught just one feature. Everything is a thought, even a comment is a thought.

The other particularity of Forum relies also on how the thoughts are classified and accessed within the platform.

- Indeed each post can be considered as a mini-website: The user has to write his single thought and reference it with 3 tags before he sends it in the network.

- All the community will receive the thoughts of everyone in a Tinder-like stack and will swipe them up or down. (up to upvote, down to pass) This system (tag + swipe) is a crowdsourced way to rank all the content each one of us produce.

Which means that the search engine will allow you to find the best thoughts according to the community on any tags combination you want.
Search [#movie] [#sf] [#2015] and you'll find the best thoughts/stories/conversations according to the community on this subject.

Lastly on Forum, you can follow "tags" (rather than people) and define different stacks of cards based on your tastes.

Thanks a lot if you have spent a little moment to read the presentation of my project :-)
Don't hesitate to check the site where I explain more in the details the vision I have behind FORUM.

I will be happy to anwser all your question,

I use vim exclusively, and vi before it, since vi was introduced a million years ago.

I only want to master a few tools, and vim works everywhere. When working over ssh in a terminal session vim will be there.

There's no best or perfect editor (or language, or any kind of tool). Use what works for you, master a few tools, hope that you pick tools that work in lots of contexts for a long time.

> If YC takes 7% for 120k. It seems 1k is worth about 0.05%.

What YC brings to a startup for their 7% is 120k + advice + connections + the YC brand itself, so just 1k will be worth only a fraction of 1/120*7% of the company (I'd say, about a half or a third, maybe even less).
