> Smalltalk started the whole IDE idea actually.

Yet as opposed to ST, Mesa or Lisp they have to integrate this with files and executables, which makes things a lot more cumbersome. And then you get something like the web, where the moving parts are even further removed from each other.

The problem is that IDEs and powerful editing aren't exactly opposites (let's not forget that Emacs is basically a Lisp IDE). But I've yet to see an IDE that comes close, mostly because the lack of a good extension language (plugins are way too heavy), and possibly because the GUI provides a bigger impedance to additions.

I really like the trend towards "headless" IDE backends.
"Tabs you haven’t looked at in a while dim, so you can focus on what you’re working on" - I like the sound of this. Is anyone aware of a Firefox addon which does the same?

It's the armies he's building around the world for various countries that has me concerned. I still think his style of business ought to be heavily regulated and accountable and currently it is not...that is a huge issue.
Then don't have a funnel, or have enough of them. I've never queued, except for maybe the briefest of moments, to enter an airport building, even though you always have to pass through a "funnel" (aka draft-preventing double doors[1]).

Even the narrow automatic one-way sluice doors[2] increasingly popular as you leave the secure area of an airport only ever seem to cause a queue when some idiot tries to go back, and security has to reset them.

When there's a queue at security/immigration it's because the checkpoint is understaffed (or otherwise under-provisioned), not because there's a checkpoint.

Hi, sorry to report a bug (or is it me missing anything?). I successfully created the first story. However, the second story (basic, just text) keeps failing. Wondering what I did wrong ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/32bly2hei8ehm1s/Screenshot%202016-...
> "digitally technology investors would stick their noses up due to physical location."

Either they're correct, although there seems to be no logical reason why or any sane rationalization for it, or they're leaving great piles of money on the table for more open minded investors to snatch up, or they're not really in it for the money (retirement hobby, its for social signalling, etc).
So, obviously that is the core issue -- a tiny correction is that very few Chinese people are members of the communist party, less than 7%, and there is no expectation that foreigners join considering they have not been allowed to be members of the party since 1956.
I'm going with this one as well.

Most other reasons I could think of would suggest opposite results than the distribution from these drawings.

Next suspicion would go to some "hidden" variable common to the individuals that drew the sketches.

I don't think the parent post was suggesting we don't care about it. Just questioning why we care about it more than, say, serial killers.

> Terrorism isn't just an attack on people; it's intended to be an attack on our institutions and our society.

The fact that you're calling it terrorism instead of murder, and that we're discussing this in the context of an OP about the development of new technologies to detect explosives, shows that it's working.
I've never bursted out loud with laughter from a HN comment. Thanks for that on this morning
The difference is a guy becoming a billionaire fighting a war, and then facilitating / fomenting more wars to make more money.
As parent said, good IDEs (like IDEA etc) can be customized to no end. You can remap pretty much all "menu" commands to shortcuts, and they have plenty of interfaces to extend their feature-set through plugins and custom commands to invoke the shell or what-have-you.

Honestly, it's not a crime to like nice windows, y'know.
The way you portray that implies that the public has an undistorted view of the effects of terrorism. In fact, the greater part of the effect is how governments, media, security state vendors, and other profiteers and comp followers shape the impact of terrorist attacks, and echo and amplify the profitable and policy-promoting aspects of those effects. You can launch multi-trillion dollar wars of aggression based on that messaging. It's not "our institutions and society." The people are not represented. They are farmed for profit and kept docile.

The real question is not whether it is irrational to fear terrorism, but, rather, whether the warmongers, snoops and profiteers exploiting terrorist attacks should be heeded, or not.
(weaveworks person here)

If you check out the PDF that fons posted above, http://rp.delaat.net/2015-2016/p50/report.pdf, then you will see pretty extensive testing showing that Weave Net, flannel, and Docker Networking have similar VXLAN performance for unencrypted traffic. In all cases, it is good enough. Alas the testers were unable to get Calico working.

The question is: when do you want top performance for encrypted traffic? Most of users want encryption for the wide area or public cloud, and when they can't use a VPC. Our solution is pretty good for these cases. Obviously at some point we'll enable IPSEC too.
This release is a poster boy example why competition is good.

Did you read the article before commenting? This point is mentioned by the author.
There's a weird phenomenon in U.S. political system where it's much easier to get spending approved by congress/voters if it's classified as "military". Thus many things that could be civilian projects end up as military.
It's also perfectly possible to use Emacs for 20+ years and not do all that much with the extensibility (some flymake stuff is all I wrote, I think).

I use it to edit code simply because I feel at home in it, but I use very, very little of the functionality.
Thanks!

Well our business model would be recent, in-copyright books in this format. For instance, reading Harry Potter in this interface is something we could imagine being useful. Other than that, we think this tool might be useful in the education system, we can provide a lot of added value there.

Some language combinations are unfortunately underrepresented, but we've just built a tool that matches translations automatically, so that should change soon. Currently we are focusing on English-German combination since that's what we can check manually while we work out the kinks in the tool, and then we will spread out to other languages.

This article sounds like its discussing a very specific person and not a class of people. I don't see much in the way of solutions other than 'fire the guy', so it sounds like someone needs to vent. We've all been there and either inherited or hired a bad developer. Do you need a hug?

No. The effect is, of course, much more pronounced with motorbikes, given the greater mass and velocity - but anything resembling a bike can be countersteered.
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.

If N levels off, then the network has grasped the concept of a spiral and can generalize to arbitrary size.

If N doesn't level off, then the network isn't really learning the general case.

Secret didn't fail for lack of community. It failed because once people had their fill of playing out one of their demigod roles (shaming people, being shamed, or inciting others to shame) behind a cloak of anonymity the initial thrill to tell the "world" (really just your facebook friends) your "secrets" was gone.
It's unlikely that a nuke falls into terrorist hands, but its not unimaginable. Pakistan is a half-failed state with nuclear weapons and it's easy to imagine that government collapsing completely. North Korea is another unpredictable actor. US officials have warned about lax security around smaller nuclear weapons in Russia. You are right that they would face further obstacles in trying to detonate it.

There are many more-likely but still catastrophic scenarios. A bigger Paris/Mumbai-style attack could kill thousands. An attack on the Hoover Dam or a chemical plant could also kill thousands and cause billions of dollars of economic damage.
Just use fertilizer. I am pretty sure that will work, too. If not, congratulations, you know now how to defeat the guard.
> he provided the US government with unique capability that they desperately needed, and things would have probably been far messier if he hadn't been involved in Iraq.

I have many friends and family that have participated in Iraq II and Afghanistan. They see PMCs as morale destroyers. While they are getting paid E-4 rates, or higher, the PMCs are getting paid 4-5x that for doing the same damn job!

They've had to learn to do more with less while the PMCs show up with shiny new toys all the time. And if that wasn't enough they were getting calls or letters from home saying their benefits had been cut, allowances were down, etc. Then the DoD was "winding down" it's campaigns by replacing enlistees with even more PMCs. Suddenly, guys that wanted to make a career in the armed forces, and had planned to stay 10-20 years, couldn't re-up. In the end few of them felt they had no choice but to join Academy or Blackwater since job prospects back home were so meager.

They were making things so much better in Iraq the PM wanted them out of his country because of the unaccountability and civilian deaths directly attributable to them. Shooting civilians in the street is the first thing I think of when the word Blackwater comes up.

For those interested in compiling OCaml to JavaScript, check out js_of_ocaml[0]. It's been around since 2011 or so, produces source maps, and has a nice FFI. It also works over the output of the bytecode compiler so there's no need to run a fork of the compiler. In my experience it's quite nice to work with.

Every-one thinks that they are the good guy. That isn't just a quirk of psychology, it is also a constraint.

People lives their lives according to different narratives. There is a fire-and-sword Muslim narrative, a quiet-life Muslim narrative, various Western narratives. Some-one living their life according to the fire-and-sword Muslim narrative is a bad guy by many other narratives. But that doesn't liberate them to be a bad guy by their own standards. They still have to be the good guy in their own head.

They have to be the hero, not the ass-hole. They cannot just be a nihilist who wrecks stuff to make things miserable for every-one. There has to be a sense that they are a warrior, fighting bad guys.

Perhaps it is as simple as attacking a cafe where they serve alcohol or a venue where the music is haram, or a business district where they charge interest on loans. I don't really get the inner logic, but I'm sure there is one and it constrains the kind of attacks they can make.

"Are there known cities which confronted their past ?"

Yes, absolutely - Berlin is the canonical example. The site of the wall isn't paved over or hidden, it's a line of bricks that runs right through the city, with several museums and memorials along its length.

The site of the Fuhrerbunker is marked with a sign, despite now being a carpark.

The memorial to the murdered jews of Europe stands as a chilling, disorienting reminder.

There are brass plaques, the famous 'stumbling stones' in places where individual jews were persecuted, marking their names, dates of birth, death and eventual fate (if it was known).

In contrast, Russia's soviet history is often glossed over or lionized.
I believe this goes all the way back to horse-mounting - mounting from the left is easier, as your primary hand weapon (sword, mace, club, whatever) is likely to hang at your left side, where you can easily reach it with your right hand; this makes mounting from the right considerably harder, as the weapon gets betwween . (It would probably reverse for left-handed fighters; this had very little impact on today's bike mounting and kickstands, however)

>3. as a survival instinct (war)

Survival instinct and war are two separate concepts, at least when it comes to recent history and western countries.
At the end of the day, you need to sleep at night. I respect people who listen to their conscience.

Generals always prepare to fight the last war. As we move away from 20th century nation state conflict, that means the successor to the current counter-insurgency conflict. There's a pretty clear implication to that, which removes many of the comfortable abstractions that blowing up Soviet tanks came with.
Terrorism and murder are two entirely different things. What distinguishes various types of killing is intent. Killing someone because they stepped onto your drug dealing territory is an act motivated by a very different intent than killing someone to make a political point.
I have an Ubuntu laptop, a Macbook, a Windows 8 desktop computer, an iPhone and an Android tablet. You can't even write a website to fit all these sizes on your own, and some of them are a pain in the ass if it comes to using shells or ssh (the iPhone and the Windows computer more than the rest). Google is the only product line I know of that keeps all my data in a fashion that I can access it and make use of it (i.e. respond to messages from others and get reminded of appointments etc)

Designing More Efficient Forms: Assistance and Validation
I grew up in Dayton, Ohio around a relatively major Air Force Base. The presence of contractors of every stripe (Northrop, Oracle, Booz Allen, General Dynamics), and the stories I would hear about the projects and funds they were approved for were mind-boggling.

That is part of the reason I think this stance is so admirable and interesting. I do not think defense spending is inherently negative. But even for those who do believe that in a strong way, I think it would be hard to leave those opportunities on the table and walk away.
