There's a significant difference between hosting old-media content in a discoverable way on the internet for the first time (i.e. TV and movie clips off your DVD collection) and re-hosting internet-native content under your own account.

The former actually provides a service: I like to be able to show people and revisit funny scenes from i.e. West Wing episodes, and often that prompts me to go re-watch the episode from a legitimate source. The latter has no net gain for the user over just linking, but screws over the OP.
Wow, $289?!?

I loved the previous generation priced under $100 but that's a huge jump and I'm not convinced the feature list justifies such a price. I predict this is not going to sell very well.

Because e-readers are just really bad for textbooks. They work really only for things you want to read from start to finish (they work great for that though!). Paper textbooks are a lot better if you're flipping back and forth or trying to use it for reference.

You have to look at it in the context of the UK broadsheet market though. On the right, the Times (usually) and the Telegraph and if you'd consider it a broadsheet, the Daily Mail too.

That's true, but that's probably due to the highly polarised content of niche political sites.

What I am saying applies to sites that attract a mixture of people with different politics, gender, age, class, skills, etc. There are many different kinds of people that read the Guardian, and I'd bet that very few of those that disagree are actually 'trolls' - they're just people with different perspectives and experiences to the main audience.

On sites such as the Guardian and Hacker News you can often find an opposing viewpoint to the main article - just like you provided here.
Like a lot of things in technology, everything forms an island where you start to really appreciate the things you have and ignore the things you don't. If you use any other editor, I'm sure you'd miss being able to zip around editing files the same way I miss session persistence!

But yeah, that's pretty much my objection -- it's not a big one, and there's room in the world for more than one type of software. I'm aware of tmux, but it just shifts the problem from vim to tmux: once you need to upgrade tmux, or your OS, or your computer, everything you've set up gets lost, and I really don't want that to happen.

I'm also aware of things like teamocil, and I even used itermocil for a while. But it turns out that the kind of environment edits I like to make are ones that I just do, rather than ones I can specify in a config file then restart to set everything up again. For example, when you say:

> If you are just exploring the code base or making small edits here and there you don't really need persistent tmux session for that.

Coincidentally I do have a relevant example for that. Last week, when I was exploring the files that make up the zoneinfo database, I put the files that I needed to keep referring to (of which there were like 5) to the side, knowing full well that they wouldn't go away. Then they just stayed there for a while as I got distracted with other stuff. This week, when I had to return to it, they're still there; and all the files from the other projects I'm working on are all in their positions, too, ready for when I switch back next week, surviving through a system restart and an editor upgrade.
let() is define a memoized method. When you inherit or include that module into a new class, you can redefine that same let() and the new class will use the redefined method instead of what is inherited. You can do that with any of the let() that gets defined. This lets you use as much or as little of the shared code that you want.
Truth to be told it wasn't off too far.
Try doing `cas` (change a sentence) or `dib` (delete in brackets), and on and on for all your different text objects. This infix notations are not redundant, because they are not motions like `b` `e` `w` are, but adjectives to be applied to the nouns which are text objects.

Why I’m Optimistic About Ethereum Even Though Most Dapps Will Fail
I am glad this measure exists for the disabled Americans being shaken down to pay down loans they cannot pay or have dissolved in bankruptcy.

However, as a professional with student loans, I will be furious until the day I pay off my final loan at the 6.55% I am paying. I could get a car for cheaper. And it is doubly ridiculous that federal loans can be farmed out to private companies, which, spoiler alert, exist to make profits, not an educated workforce!

As much as I would love to stop paying $300 every month (and every tax refund till 2020), I am not that distressed about paying back an expensive and lucrative education. However, the use of private companies charging usurious rates is simply wrong.

> Org-mode is a better Markdown than Markdown integrated with a multi-format publication generation capability.

It can even export to Markdown! (And I'll only author in Markdown under duress anymore.)

It's funny that you chose the phrase "Magic Things". Before I settled on the "superpower" metaphor, I was going to talk about the times when I've done things with Emacs, in and out of Org-mode, that have made my colleagues say things like "wow, that's really cool" or "holy shit how did you even just do that". I opted not to because I figured it would sound like bragging, on the one hand, and on the other because you can do things in Emacs that really do have to be seen to be believed. But "magic" is the word I was going to use.

(It's not always an advantage, either. I've had people show contempt for things like Org-mode tables, on the assumption that because they're rendered in text, they can't possibly be anything other than text, and I must be wasting insane amounts of time making columns line up and the like. I used to work for one of those people. I'm really glad I don't work for him any more.)
It's not like things advance linearly, though. Even the big minds in AI said it would take decades before an AI would beat a human at Go, for instance. Image recognition is another example that was "stuck" with relatively high error rates for many, many years, and suddenly got "solved".

Our brains are just awful at predicting major breakthroughs...

> but making the effort to find that out takes more time

This is always true, in every domain. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. I think it's worth some amount of effort to find out, but at some point, you have to settle on something and move on.

Personally, I used to be an emacs user, then switched to Eclipse with some emacs keybindings, then learned vim after many years of being frustrated by it, and now use an IDE with a vim plugin (and occasionally straight vim). I feel like I've settled on the best of all worlds... for _me_ at least.
There's definitely more restaurants opening up than just the original few and many of them are opening up outside of the downtown core near other blighted areas. There is a positive, optimistic energy and that sometimes comes across as being a little less critical than they should be of new restaurants. For example, they opened up a ramen/noodle joint and the ramen is just terrible but if you read the reviews from locals, you would think that someone took a noodle joint out of Tokyo and plopped it down in the middle of Corktown. The Vietnamese and Middle Eastern food is good though on account of large local communities of those folks.
I really wish they'd bring back the Kindle Developer Program in a better form than what it was. My Kindle is jailbroken, and software like KOReader [1] and KindleExplorer [2] have become must-haves. In the case of KOReader, the flexibility offered is just miles ahead of Amazon's stock reader app—even though reading is the central purpose of the device.

If you want to use linux on the desktop, you have to buy your hardware with linux in mind.

You don't have that concern with Windows because mainstream PC manufacturers need to support Windows to be profitable, but there's the exact same problem with OS X. It feels a little different because the OS comes preinstalled, but you're still choosing the hardware for the OS.

If you buy a machine that is reputed to work well with linux, it works well with linux. If you don't bother to check that, you might end up with a bit of homework.
'so sad' as in, it makes you sad how I think of these things, or 'so sad' because you agree in some extent?
Anyway, I think it's sad as well.

The best example is to describe how our world works is where a job advert tells you to have X amount of experience with Y technology. You have Z skills, which is close to Y, but the only way to get the experience in Y is to get that, or similar jobs. But the company won't hire you, because you don't have Y. Even if you go and get Y in your spare time, that won't cut it because they want 'commercial' experience not home learning. Welcome to IT kids, where you have to be 2X years old, with 30 years of experience (commercial) and 3 degrees and Agile and 20 programming languages and...

I wanted to have a good Agile experience so bad, that in every job I had, I fell flat on my face. And when I wanted them to change some things. I fell flat on my face.

When I asked the 50 years old 'Senior Developer' why don't we use the Adapter Pattern, the response was a question. 'What's that?'

When I wanted them to change from ant to maven? Sorry we don't have the time right now.

Most of my friends who are developers as well are thinking to start their on business, or go into management, because they had enough. And all of them I would count as senior regarding their knowledge and experience.

I can only talk from my experience. I am sure there are places, which are like nirvana for developers, but I haven't come across one yet.
The progress in machine learning/deep learning for last 5 years has been literally staggering. Read about new state of art results. There is already superhuman visual object recognition, voice recognition, good machine translation, description of scenes in natural language, question answering (facebook babi dataset), visual question answering, algorithm learning (neural turing machines, neural GPUs), and finally really strong reinforcement learning (deepmind's DQN, A3C algorithms).

The last one, reinforcement learning, is really important because it's a basis for general intelligence. By rewarding/punishing a reinforcement learning agent you can train it to execute very complex tasks, for example navigating a maze with pixel input or controlling a robot body to do some tasks. DeepMind is on the cutting edge of this kind of research, you can read about their latest agent here http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01783

With such rate of progress it's not inconceivable if a sub-human but general intelligence could be developed in 10-20 years, or even sooner.
I find it strange that you find it strange, because I agree: leave the window-managing to the window managers, and the text-editing to the text editors! I posted a very similar reply to a comment about the Min browser; too many applications try to re-invent basic concepts such as windows or tabs. All a text editor should do is give you windows to work with, then leave it up to you to position them.
I really like this dominant color placeholder idea. I think I first noticed it in use on Designspiration, but it seems to be gaining popularity and will probably be standard operating procedure soon.

The difference between using a single color and a resized 3x3-pixel image is subtle. I'd like to see 5x5 and 7x7 examples as well, assuming the file size remains small enough. I wouldn't expect too great an increase in bits, but the amount of extra detail available might be worth it.
Again: that is a problem. If that is possible your internal network is insecure.

The castle and moat model is obsolete anyway. Most attacks today come through "pulled" vectors that bypass the firewall. If you rely on a physical network perimeter for security your security is an illusion.

For a counter-point, I find that 6 inches is too big. A phone screen allows much easier one-handing, and reduces eye-scan. Combine that with the fact that an AMOLED screen is much superior than anything backlit for night reading, and my ebook reader collects dust.
Hmm.

A couple of days ago I think there was a post about Google doing a lot of development and research around creating systems that understand / categorize / comment / recognize images.

One thing I took away from reading about it is that Google has billions of images to train it with from all their different ventures.

Does Microsoft have access to anywhere near the same numbers of pictures?
It's funny that you mention vesselmancy. As an early adopter of e-ink, I had to endure years of talk about how e-ink will never smell or feel like a real book. I'm the opposite of the person who ordered the leatherbound Encyclopedia Britannica. I bought an early ereader and put all my books in the attic!

Phone displays and computer screens are just fine for reading text, but the fact that you completely discount the value of e-ink makes me wonder if you've seen a recent e-ink display in person. The advantages really become apparent at the extremes: bright sunlight or dim rooms in the evening. Also, the ergonomics of reading on a phone or a computer are not great for books and long articles. It's no coincidence that e-readers tend to be about the size of paperback books. Tablets are better, but they are more expensive, more fragile and more power-hungry.

I thought burnout to be caused by stress and exhaustion. Your mind shuts down to protect itself and anything work related triggers heavy anxiety. In that respect burnout is more akin to PTSD than depression.
It's not just people being clickbaited, some of their most prolific commenters obviously disagree with their entire output and go in to stir the pot.
Agreed. For reading (primarily) flowing text, I find the Kindle Paperwhite just about perfect. Really light to hold in one hand, great battery life, easy on the eyes.

If I'm reading a graphic novel or a technical book with illustrations, code, etc. I much prefer my full-size tablet--which I don't like as much for just reading.

The issue with the larger screen I suspect is that you're now competing with full-size tablets with a much more specialized device that that would probably be judged inferior to its smaller sibling by many people for plain reading. It feels like a very slim market.

ADDED: I actually forgot that there used to be a Kindle DX. Given that format doesn't exist any longer, I'm pretty sure that it didn't sell well.
Federal student loans are guaranteed by federal government. So the federal government is losing the $7.7 billion.

They could at least be _trying_. The impression I get is literally anyone can post literally anything and amazon will put their brand above it. They must realize that their brand is highly legitimizing to any product for sale, and you'd think they would be more interested in maintaining that brand.

I mean I wouldn't say Amazon is a byword for quality and value, but at the same time I would say most people would put it above, say, ebay and there really doesn't seem to be much of a difference anymore.

No, most items which people want or need are provided through private exchange, and the prices do not spiral out of control. Examples of this include computers, televisions, food, and clothing.
(1) Kubernetes pods share the same ip address. This one is huge, in that it means I am not address containers by port, but by ip address. A single pod is a collection of containers, much like a single unit of compose.yml where things can be linked together.

(2) Building on (1), SkyDNS allows pods to be named.

(3) Building on (2), we can define Services that are dynamically selected from pods. That means if I have a pod that depends on another pod, I can instead have it depend upon a Service. The individual pods that make up the Service can come up or go down, allowing updates and maintenance to be decoupled.

Those are the basics. Note that, I remember seeing a presentation from the Docker folks debating whether they should implement something like this. The idea is too useful not to use.

This is sufficiently useful to run a single-node kubelet on your dev machine instead of using Docker Compose on your dev machine. Compose will still be OK if you are only working with a single microservice/app. When that n > 1, that's when the pods and services of K8S start making a lot more sense.
I'm not sure that everyone needs to go to college. Does a plumber, or electrician, or some other craftsperson that can learn via mentoring really need to spend fours at university? I don't really think so.

That's always been my beef with the "college for everyone" movements. That instantly de-values jobs that don't require a college education.
Jacket pockets - for those of us in countries where the temperature goes low enough. I spend most of the year wearing some form of clothing that has a pocket that comfortably carries a Kindle - I don't have to specifically shop for the size, it just fits.

So instead of teaching C in a semester one should teach you

- ALGOL 68

- B

- BCPL

- K&R C (with its historic syntax containing elements that are now disallowed)

- C89/C90

- C95

- C99

- C11

and what reasons there were to introduce the changes/extensions?

My opinion is clear: Teach the most modern version with its best practises and leave away all the historic baggage that is only of historic importance.
Part of an open process is to make this information public, like what comments were rejected and for what reason given by the AI, I guess it would probably use a scoring system or something like that.

wow amazing!!!
Government-guaranteed loans are a fantastic way to force prices to spiral out of control. The way student loans were before income-based repayment, we'd have expected college cost to rise until it meets the lifetime expected benefit of college discounted to the present.

With income-based repayment, where your loan balance is forgiven after 20 years, there is no limit to how high it can go.

Government-subsidized mortages and mortgage interest deductions have a similarly terrible effect on housing, a basic good that government policy should try to make as cheap as possible. Instead, government policy is to make it as expensive as possible.
