Yeah, I know it's hard to see the slides, and I haven't put them up online, sorry... The plan was to split the hdmi signal and put slides etc on a virtual screen in the 360 video. ...but the hdmi splitter didn't work. It turns out hdmi splitters have a hard job (2way com in hdmi). We'll probably implement a loopback, so hdmi into the computer is looped back out untouched so there is no need for splitting it. So next presentation we'll stream should be more watchable!

VR is already really, really close. I've had a quite a few conversations in VR that featured spatial audio and a sufficient representation of head, hand and sometimes even finger movements. It's not quite there yet because resolution and comfort are not great and because there is no facial expression capture or eye tracking yet, but I see those things solved and mass-market ready in the next 5-10 years.

With mass-market AR rolling around the same time frame (imho), telepresence that is actually wide-spread and disruptive will be here sooner than later.

I prefer the consolas/Inconsolata ( with a slight preference for Inconsolata ), mainly for the font appearance, but also for the presence on slashed zero, which improve the readability. I also tried source code pro, which is a great monospace font, but probably less suitable to small display compared to inconsolata.

In my browser it looks more like '1.25'. And the worst part -- I can't see it in the dev tools! It shows me 'normal' as computed value and I still don't know what it is!

Apparently HN is using table layout and `line-height: normal` is set by UA on any table. This is the first time I can't overwrite it by setting it on `body`.

I have a 2010 iMac that's unbearably slow at the moment, and since I suspect that the hdd is the reason I'm considering upgrading to a 1TB SSD (since I don't want less storage space).. But including installation, that's roughly $400. And spending $400 to prolong the life of an iMac with a fairly crappy GPU seems a lot. But on the other hand a new iMac (with a non-Intel GPU) is $2000 or more. Hard decision!
Is this open source? I can't seem to find the github repo.
Honestly, just take off if its bothering you. Anybody who has options is going to leave situations like that.

I worked at a place where the management tried to implement something similar. All of the main engineers left within about 2 months. They missed their big deadlines and over the next 1.5-2 years the rest of them (including management) lost their jobs. The product was sent off-shore and kept of life support for the remaining SaaS contracts. It was really quite sad to see something cash flow positive sink right to the bottom over something like that.
Is anyone else a bit surprised at these wages, on the high side? I mean certainly it's not a lot hourly and there must be a lot of uncertainty (writing pieces on spec etc) but Buzzfeed giving $.50 a word for a 6000 word article is $3000... Which is better than I had assumed. But maybe that's just me.

My issue with pledge is that it doesn't get applied to the new process on exec. This makes it essentially useless for a program that needs to start any other programs to do it's job.

Seccomp is quite cool because it lets you filter syscalls and then there's no way for you to disable the filtering (assuming no bugs in the implementation).
This may or may not matter to you, but VSCode and Atom are open-source.

One of the really neat side effects of unit testing with high coverage is that it means your components must be suitable for more than one client: your actual product and the test cases.

This means it decouples all the components which leads to check-ins or pull requests that are also self contained and modular.

If you push for good test coverage (less than 100% but more than 80% perhaps?) for your unit tests, you'll get less bugs and more modular code and smaller check-ins.
Bitcoin supports reversible transaction, if you don't trust the vendor, it's not that hard to use a trusted escrow service.

I agree bitcoin does have its flaws, economically bitcoin behaves like a commodity, which might hinder consumer adoption. There are ways to get around that, you could potentially issue a anonymous currency of sorts backed by bitcoin, with a fixed exchange change rate. So, the prices could remain relatively stable. May be that could drive consumer adoption.

TBH, I don't know what bitcoin is going to look like in the next 10 years. It's like the internet all over again. Just like the internet, bitcoin value doesn't necessarily come from the underlying utility as a transaction platform or in case of the internet TCP/IP, but from its distributed , permissionless and decentralized nature of governance. We know for a fact, that's what drives innovation.

Who told you it lags? Version numbers? That's because stable version X+1 come after dev version X.

This doesn't mean it lags, just that the dev version came out first, and only after it was checked for a while, it was deemed worthy to hit the stable (well, actually beta) channel.

That's not different than any other project I know.

I see your claims against all of that, some more obvious than others, some are a bit outdated. I'm not going to discuss the up and downsides. All I am saying is I don't see any proof. No links, no references, no proof-of-concept JS manipulation. Nothing. Only accusations and assumptions.

When one makes quite huge accusations, as these are obviously, going strong against best practices laid out by researches, both from Google and Amazon (and probably a lot more), it would be better to not only hate-talk, but also - quite simply - proof. Show, for example, how you can intercept JS sent from the server via https. Or show how somebody did that. Or how you are going to XSS in any major JS Framework out there. Or at least link some examples when you make assumptions that all JS crypto won't work because of things like

Marketing sounds like reason to avoid a software. And all the resources didn't manage to make it tolerably fast/low on cpu those 2-3 years its out. Whereas at least VSC got that right.

it's an elipsis, if you want to get technical: BLM [no less than lives of different colours]
If you call it out it's because you feel there is something distinct about it that is different from the other members of its group.

Exactly. The thing that's distinct is that, in the US, it is necessary to assert that black lives matter. It's not necessary to assert that white lives matter because that's a given.

You may not agree with that view, but that's the view held by most people who say "Black Lives Matter!" You seem convinced that your alternative hypothesis is true, that we all think black lives matter more than other lives. Ask yourself honestly if your alternative hypothesis is just a convenient straw man, easy to argue against, easy to use to cast people who disagree with you as horrible people.

I'm curious what you think of the common advice of parents to little boys, "Treat women with respect." Would you start blathering about how you should treat everyone with respect? Obviously you should treat everyone with respect, but there's a reason to call out women in particular as deserving of respect -- because it's all too common for them not to get it.

You may not like this way of getting a point across, but if you pretend it doesn't exist you risk coming off as a person who doesn't understand nuance.

So, now that you understand this, could you please stop suggesting that people who support "Black Lives Matter!" think other lives don't matter as much?
Yes. The welding heat is VERY localized to the spots where the electrodes made contact. Very small spots and very localized heating for a secure connection. In this regard, less heat gets "into" the battery than would be the case from soldering, the operation is very fast (cycle times in the low number of seconds and welding times in the few milliseconds range), and more than strong enough for the application.

The better ones use a double pulse for a cleaner weld without the need for any flux.

Then again, any program that in any way starts another binary (or several) would always end up having to pledge the sum of all possible child permissions, so it would just mean that any such program (like sudo) would just not be limited at all just so it can run both ls and reboot, when the setuid sudo program would be just the kind of program you would like to have pledged so that it doesn't talk net when it shouldn't or does other out of line weirdness.
That is the heart and soul of capitalism. What is good for me, is good for the common man.

Cornwall provided a lot of the tin for Europe. A clue that Cline is talking about a regional supply is that he mentioned Cyprus as the source for copper, when NW Europe had other sources, like Great Orme in Wales.
Ugh. Autocorrect strikes again!
It's pretty easy to justify why you would lie, if I think you are an ideologue who truly believes that Facebook trending topics must be curated with a certain slant for the greater good.

When you believe in a conspiracy theory, hearing "why would I lie" doesn't change your mind, quite the opposite. It's also not true that there's "nothing that anyone can say that would prove that any system works as described". There's no general statement that will convince everyone, because everyone has personalized doubt about it.

It's certainly possible to assuage the fears of a conspiracy theorist - take their examples, give a credible, particularized explanation(not a vague "it's algorithmic", but describe the steps in detail), and show some goodwill to address their underlying fears. What you perhaps wanted to say was that you don't really care about convincing conspiracy theorists, which is fine, but very different.

Curious - The parsing work I've done with programming languages was never done via machine learning,

Artificial languages (such a programming languages) are usually designed to be unambiguous. In other words, there is a 1:1 mapping from a sentence or fragment to its abstract representation.

Natural language is ambiguous, so there is usually 1:N mapping from a sentence to abstract representations. So, at some point you need to decide which of the N readings is the most likely one.

Older rule-based approaches typically constructed all readings of a sentence and used a model to estimate which reading is the most plausible. In newer deterministic, linear-time (transition-based) parsers, such ambiguities (if any) are resolved immediately during each parsing step.

In the end it's a trade-off between having access to global information during disambiguation and having a higher complexity. So, naturally, the rule-based systems have been applying tricks to aggressively prune the search space, while transition-based parsers are gaining more and more tricks to incorporate more global information.

You DO know that apart from a programmer and a helper sales guy, ST has none of all those other "roles".

And judging from the community size, polls, and similar numbers from other project, it has sold at least 10.000 licenses (x70 -> 700,000) and i all probability much more.

>The result of this analysis is the current market. The only way to develop a text editor is either all volunteers (like Atom), a small part of a large corporation's marketing budget (VSCode), or a labor of love from one and a half underfunded and overworked people who we somehow expect to stop being underfunded and overworked even though we only paid them like half a billable hour several years ago (ST).

Maybe it's the analysis that's way off base, especially the dev numbers.

In fact the whole breakdown sounds ludicrous, like assuming the only dev work out there is done in cushy Facebook style jobs in the Valley or with extravagant VC money.

In fact tons of successful indie apps, not just editors, fly in the face of all you wrote above. No reason to believe a graphics editor (e.g. Acorn) or VST plugin (e.g. uHe Diva) or FTP Editor (e.g. Transmit) has much more potential users than a language/OS agnostic programming editor. And yet, all these companies exist for years, and even have several employees and nice offices.

As for editors, there's not only IntelliJ, that has tons of people working for it and is doing just fine, but other long time companies, like UltraEdit (that boasts 2 million users), a whole ecosystem around paid Eclipse plugins, etc.
People who close $100m deals are smart enough to not worry about "look the other person in the eye and shake their hand".
imo, when it comes to style, if your language ecosystem has one, you should use it to enforce one. ideally as a git pre-commit hook.
An $8,000 drive only serves to prove this point.
Andrew Sampson – What Makes a Good Developer?
That would be magical.
This usually pops up when we discuss quality of life in various countries/regions. Why do we need money in the first place? Basic needs, nice-to-haves and hobbies/entertainment (rough Maslow's pyramid) and some deferred for pension. Major part of our paychecks is consumed by the basic needs: +/- housing, transportation, food, clothing and depending on country some public services like healthcare in US, children schooling.

Such a company could combine workplace with living quarters, shared transportation, etc.. Something like garage-startup evangelists dream about. Considering that 1) sharing expenses usually lowers single contribution and 2) lots of things could be [personal income] tax free such a company could actually provide services at reasonably competitive prices.

I think that would only be possible at low or large scales (<10 / >1k emploees?) and has own issues like spouse employment, personal preferences (e.g. luxurious car vs spacious house), location that are traditionally handled on per-family basis. Interesting idea, actually
