"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and thoroughly immoral -- doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forgot this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

- Robert Heinlein

This quote stuck with me, possibly due to the force of its presentation rather than its merits.

I thought it would be interesting to present the other side of the debate to HN and open it up to comment. I'm undecided.

Heinlein's viewpoint and the author's viewpoint are polar opposites. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The analog clock is much better for touch, context, relativity, and tangible processing.

I much prefer the analog clock over the scrolling numbers.
When I hover the "Download" button, a message saying "OS X 10.10 is required" appears, but when I click the button I get a .deb file. Did I miss OS X switching to Apt?

EDIT: This seems to happen only with the bottom download button, and only on my desktop (Firefox, Arch Linux). On my phone the button says it's available for Ubuntu too. I guess it's just a bug with recognizing the user-agent string or something.

Awesome Python: Curated list of Python frameworks, packages, and resources
For me, the "why" came from the word (or story) problems -- the exact problems that most people really hated. There is one problem from calculus that really stuck with me, and made me really understand limits:

"You are on an island, which is 10 miles from the shoreline. You can row a boat 4 miles an hour, and you can run 7 miles an hour. You have a friend in need that lives on the shore, 6 miles down from the part of the (straight) shoreline that is closest to the island. Where on the shore do you need to land the boat to minimize your travel time?"

So obviously, aiming the boat directly to your destination minimizes your distance, but you are only going to be traveling at 4 mph. And if you aim straight to the shore you minimize your time in the slow boat, but your distance is longer. The visual solution is to plot the total time based on various landing points on the shore, then find which one is minimal. The exact solution is to make a formula that represents both legs of the trip with the landing point being your variable, take a derivative of the formula and solve for 0 (if I remember correctly).
"Competitive pay" is not a number. Most companies just don't want to pay for the talent they claim to want so bad.

Also, a lot of people are tired of the Agile stuff. Senior people in the range this person is looking for are likely to be among those who saw Agile come around and slowly turn into the weird joke that it is today. Places that are so dogmatic about it that they require TDD and pair programming experience are a red flag imo. Just some thoughts from a dev with 12 years experience.
That's one reason democracy is a good thing ... the people getting sent to fight and die have a say, less moral hazard, since most people don't benefit from war. If a king or a billionaire can get rich fighting a war and has the power to make it happen, you're going to have more wars.

It's probably better for civilization if a democratic government has a monopoly on extreme force like bombers, WMDs. War is sufficiently stupid, it's probably better if entrepreneurs don't disrupt it, and the military remains the one 100% socialist enterprise in America.
I've been listening to NPR for ~2 hours each day during my commutes for about 2 years. While I really like it, they're not unbiased like they may have you believe. They don't always up and say it, but their most common tactic is bringing on an 'expert', who pontificates about X while the host nods in agreement and says how smart they are. Listen closely when talking about Israel, Bernie/Hillary (I couldn't stomach the 15 minute puff piece on her yesterday), and digital privacy (David Greene got called a government shill by Darrel Issa on-air). I still listen to it but occasionally I have to put it on mute for a segment or two.
Tried it, but I found that judging by a single picture whether my house is 'more' or 'less' is too limiting. I honestly tried to tweak it afterward to see if the valuation would make a bit more sense, but it didn't.

FYI I bought my house 415k 2 years ago, zoopla tells me it's now worth 550k, and 'getagent' first estimate was... >900k! After tweaking it was still 770k (!) - Mind you some rather shitty houses seems to have sold for quite a lot but still...
I agree, and would say that teaching others something forces you to look for weak points in your own understanding and firm them up. Teaching, for me, makes me think about the "why" more, which is something I always struggle with. Going through the motions is the easy part.

> "That's decidedly not true. Nor is this about customization of workflows. I am talking about actual unadulterated power to do things you cannot do in an IDE. All IDEs optimize for the average use case. If they do expose a set of advanced commands or transformations, they are hidden deep in the menus and what you can do with them is extremely rigid and limited. At most you have a few dozen commands (you would call them menus) available."

Something tells me instead of telling you what you can customise in good IDEs I should show you. With that in mind, tell me something I shouldn't be able to customise in Visual Studio and I'll show you how its done. To start this off, here's how to create custom keyboard shortcuts, as you can see it's very easy to do:

Ideally, Vim is a tool you'll be able to use for the rest of your life, so an upfront cost in learning it is a cost that becomes small when measured against the time scale of your career.

Furthermore, Vim needs to be setup and is configurable because it existed before many computer usage patterns had been standardized that we take for granted now (e.g., Vim's cut and paste system is different than any current big name operating systems).

But the very fact that Vim pre-dates these paradigms, and continues to be used despite the extra work it requires to get past that, this very fact is what makes it more likely that you'll be able to continue using it indefinitely. I.e., Vim will survive the next paradigm shift, because it survived the last one.

If you really want to be careful about investing in learning a tool, the ones you should be careful about are the ones that have not survived a paradigm shift yet.

(Photoshop is great example of a dangerous skill investment in my opinion, Photoshop takes an extraordinary amount of muscle memory to use effectively and it hasn't yet survived a paradigm shift. Those skills look poised to become completely obselete by touch-based design tools soon, 5-10 years from now. Not saying I have an better idea, because Photoshop is still probably the best tool for doing that type of work, but just plan on throwing everything you learn away.)
A good overview of how it would work: http://yourstory.com/2016/02/mobile-wallets-upi/

I'm very curious as how it would now play out for 'digital wallets' like Paytm, MobiKwick, PayUMoney etc.

Paytm is a "Unicorn". It is perhaps valued at $2B with 125 Million users. http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/paytm-val...
How is this different from other bot detection services like Distil Networks or F5?

Beyond the no reverse proxy thing sounds the same..
If you really think that, then you are missing out by not investing in a short strategy! :P Or, more seriously, remember to consider the opportunity costs! VTI, for example, has a yield of about 2%. Short term bond index funds could be better or worse than that.
Even those codes of ethics are dubious and not always followed. Example: CIA Psychologists/Psychiatrists involved in torture.

It caused their professional society to condemn their acts and put in special ethics rules with regards to torture, etc.
> My position has its roots in the Vietnam War, when I was a conscientious objector

Ah yes, the Vietnam War, a last-ditch attempt to preserve some freedom and democracy (albeit imperfect) from a bloodthirsty regime which killed tens or hundreds of thousands of people, not in war but in post-war executions. Truly, a fine thing to conscientiously object to.

> In short, I believe that non-violent methods of conflict resolution provide the only methods for protecting our country against the deadly threats we face in the long run.

That is a detachment from reality so extreme that it's difficult to imagine that he is able to tie his shoes in the morning. Some folks say that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent; that's true, but only because the competent turn to it before it's their last choice.

Yes, violence is wrong and evil; yes, it is brutal and merciless. It is horrible to see violence, and more horrible still to engage in it. But — and this is the key point — violence is often unavoidable: the choice is not between violence and nonviolence (that choice is easy!) but between violence now and violence later. Which is worse? That's hard to say.

The only thing which enables pacifists to survive is non-pacifists who protect them. Calmly reasoning with (or emotionally pleading with) someone intent on stealing from, raping or killing one does not succeed with anywhere near the reliability of of stopping him with violent force. It's the police and the military which dissuade one's fellow citizens and external powers, respectively, from exercising violence upon one. 'I won't take up arms myself, but I will enjoy the peace and security provided by those who do' makes as much moral sense as 'I won't kill animals, but I'll eat meat.'

It's a free country; he's free to free-load on the sacrifice and hard work of his fellow-citizens, and we're free to think that behaviour fundamentally irresponsible.
True, forgot that one and it's really cool to be able to use Neovim in the console without breaking my head over the colorscheme.

It's a very overlooked feature that has a great positive impact in usability. Been talking in a bug thread spacemacs about this same problem for months and there is still no solution to be seen.
It is not Microsoft bash. It's this bash:

* http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/bash

Alongside many of these:

* http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/

With that in mind, the differentiator from git bash, MSYS, Cygwin, and so forth should become clearer.
But the OP never says that violence never settles anything, his position is more nuanced than that (emphasis mine):

"In short, I believe that non-violent methods of conflict resolution provide the only methods for protecting our country against the deadly threats we face in the long run. Military action, with its inevitable consequences to civilian populations, creates and fuels deadly threats, and therefore increases the danger that our country faces."
Andersonville, Georgia, USA was the site of a terrible POW camp during the American Civil War. Brutal, awful place. Today, there is a big memorial park there and the town is direct about it. That's confronting history, or at least acknowledging, not denying it.

You're trying to praise something, but it ends up as an insult of sorts, because you haven't made a slightest effort to figure out what's before you.
I am "Lara" in this article's sense, and I love NPR. Being able to listen for any amount of time and still get news that I haven't heard before is nice. At the same time most of the segments I hear are interesting, heartwarming, or really sad. Nothing on NPR seems outdated, but maybe that's simply because I've grown up with it.
Glad am not the only one who faces this problem. Search on Google calendar is terrible. What I'd love is a Apple timeline like interface that is searchable by natural language. Wishful thinking :)
I used to listen to WNYC constantly in high school (late '00s), and when I was delivering pizza between semesters in college.

I feel like the fluff-to-content ratio has increasedto the point where it doesn't stand apart anymore, and it's just upper-middle-class background noise. Maybe my interests are just shifted, but I feel like there's a lot less news then there was five years ago. I feel like a lot of what they report on just isn't important or relevant.

But I don't listen much anymore, so ironically I might be missing all of the good content and then ragging on NPR for not having good content.
In Germany (and Japan according to Wikipedia) there's the concept of "Zivilklausel" which is a pledge by an entire university to only conduct civilian research.
The dual use problem remains and there's some loopholes but by and large the universities that pledge to it follow it. Here's a link of participating institutions (in German but mostly a list): http://www.zivilklausel.de/index.php/bestehende-zivilklausel...

Notably 6 states have that clause in their university laws. Since I live in one of them I have only conducted civilian research by default (yay?).
Well, from my previous not great experience with terminal inside Emacs I don't really need that. I would be much happier if Emacs and Vim just had correct color support in the console so that I could use both from the console in a Tmux terminal and have a real terminal open side-by-side with the editor.

I can do that in Vim nicely after hacking the console colors, and Neovim without having to care about the colors and in Emacs it remains impossible.
And your point? Companies like this realize that promoting / rewarding on results and competency, rather than age and tenure, is much more effective. But this is honestly nothing new.

It was surprising to me that the author just couldn't wrap his mind around it, despite going to such lengths to convince the audience that he was some amazing and prestigious tech journalist. With stuff like this, I think he was intentionally ignorant ("What?? A young manager?? He would be an assistant at my beloved, ironically extinct and thus irrelevant Newsweek"), so as to appeal to an audience that just isn't familiar with the tech scene beyond what they see on TV.

40 year old data on mental patients undermines view on dietary fat
Obie! I'm dealing with it too. I think many of us who are hiring are. I've got a good team, but besides myself and one other, none are senior. Despite having open positions at a thriving company with great pay and benefits, I have zero senior folks in my pipeline of candidates. We've attracted great talent in every other area of the business from marketing to finance, but development is left with a pool of junior applicants. I know for myself, I don't look for a new opportunity outside of my existing network of friends and colleagues. I am where I am now because I have history with two other people at the company and I want to work with them. Pay and benefits at a cool startup aren't enough because there are lots of those opportunities. As much as I like mentoring, I want to work with other talented developers. There is the catch I suppose. Senior developers want to work with other senior developers so that they can keep upping their own game, and if you don't have any, it's hard to attract others.
If you use Puppet for deployments and management, you could use Hiera-Eyaml: encrypted YAML. Then it's just a matter of managing the master key.
I don't think the research suggests that you're out of touch, but it does suggest that you're probably older. People who are not older prefer to listen to much of the same content on demand. The audience for the broadcast channels is aging dramatically, and quickly.

Your local station is probably not airing NPR content at every time of the day – it could be airing local content, or content produced or distributed by one of NPRs competitors. Interestingly, NPR is sort of a special case among these groups because they are bound to serve the broadcast channels not only by the current market realities, but by charter. It's why you are never asked to make donations directly to NPR, but to your local station (or in rare cases, directly to programs not produced by NPR).

What happened was someone didn't want to debate with Peter Tatchell, and declined an invite to an event. That's the extend of "no platforming". That's nonsense. Should everyone be required to attend any event regardless of the conditions?
How underwhelming was this announcement? If you have internet-facing or dmz'd smbd servers you deserve badlock and have no doubt been facing far greater security risks since the time when you initially put your server there. This announcement isn't scary at all for those whom considered or valued literally any sense of security when setting up their Samba server.

Healthcare is one of the last big industries that hasn't been revolutionised yet. That said the issue of medical data storage and sharing is a very big one and hits a very sensitive nerve on the general public. What you are describing is more or less an everyday reality for anyone who had some recent experience with healthcare either as a patient or a health professional.

As it was noted there were and currently are some major tech companies who tried to tackle this problem unsuccessfully up until now; the fact that they haven't managed to offer a viable solution yet speaks for itself. If you believe you have the knowledge and experience to work on something that truly is a very complex problem to solve you should prepare for a battle. There are literally hundreds of closed proprietary systems for medical record keeping only in the US. They have established marketing channels and collaborations and in fact are so deeply rooted to the workings of a hospital that feels like you would have to physically tear down and rebuild the whole thing from scratch! As we speak there are also some great cloud based alternatives with a different approach and business model (eg patient fusion).

On the other hand what you are describing is the future; some of the most important healthcare evangelists are pointing out that our fixation on the preservation of health data in these closed systems is costing us both in money and quality of services received. My opinion is it will happen once the general public embraces the idea of sharing (anonymised) personal health information which in turn will only happen when we realise that the benefit of such outweighs the possible risks of exposure of this information to a third party.

> Also, a lot of people are tired of the Agile stuff.

also what i've seen from a lot of Senior people. just because you use jira, have daily status meetings doesn't make you "Agile"
Moreover, TeX has no serious competition (at least in the niche of typesetting mathematical documents). There are plenty of good text editors and IDEs to go around.
Nonetheless he is right. As far as I remember Vim is based on the code of an editor that was similar to vi, and not vi itself.
What freedom and democracy? Our side was a ruthless dictatorship too.

You make a good point about violence sometimes begin necessary. But making that point in the context of Vietnam is weird. It's the poster child for unnecessary wars, and for good reason.
JEPD is really sort of dead in terms of the 4 different sets of editors. No one is a supporter of it now BUT there are ideas that grew from it and add more editors but the basic premise is that more then one editor is highly accepted but everything else is not accepted by a group close to a majority.
> So for me the question is why there are still people that enjoy working as if their computers are using a 25 year old developer experience.

Existing responses already covered a lot of things, but the simple answer is: most of us don't.

The state of these editors and tools 25 years ago, while largely the same, is still very different: there are still major improvements, many new packages, etc.

Could I work on a 25-year-old system? Sure, and it'd be largely the same, but it'd be pretty uncomfortable; those subtleties matter a great deal. ;) Especially in my editors (both Emacs and Vim), and on the command line (both tools and even readline).
