I felt bad for Sublime. It would be hard for Sublime to compete with MS's free IDE. MS finally decides to take over the open source code editor market. VSC also borrowed many features from Sublime such as its famous integrated package manager and keyboard based shortcuts.
Would this work/be binary-compatible with Amazon Red Shift?
What would be some of the cool features that only exist on VSC that Sublime doesn't have?
It was a big deal for WinNT performance back in the 486 days. I don't remember the numbers, but page zeroing often chewed up a significant amount of CPU time.
Cool! Wish there would be a Django wrapper, but then realised it is designed for asyncio
The maximum commercially viable (due to weight restriction) grade for freight railroads is 2.2% ...

A 2.2% grade seems insignificant to the average person, but to a freight train it is no laughing matter. Here's a serious derailment that happened in California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Bernardino_train_disaster#...

At that grade it's not sufficient to use brakes in the individual rail cars, it's also necessary to use dynamic braking by turning electric traction motors into generators, then dissipating energy in giant resistive grids.
It will have a pretty major impact on things, but then again, so did switching from wagons to diesel trucks. How many people making horse shoes and buggies went bankrupt? How many people were there that used to deal with the horses, with the carriages, with selling goods and services to people?

The efficiencies gained by long-distance hauling being practical made entirely new industries possible. So long as this automated transport enables new business opportunities that require labour it will be a positive thing.

If this is robotic trucks driving goods to robotic factories with products designed by robots, then we're screwed.
Long-winded article, but interesting.

Shame the photos aren't larger, because with Bosch the devil and the virtues are both in the details.
Apple has slowly been opening up, they used to be such an incredibly secretive company under Jobs there's no way this would've ever happened.

Whoops. I just said "Steve Jobs never would've let this happen" line. Oh well.

They're letting in third-party keyboards another extensions, small additions to Siri, releasing actual software on android, it's not too surprising that they might be willing to do this now. Been very open on swift.
Not to nitpick but how do you define animal cruelty? For instance, wouldn't increased farming lead to additional erosion and destruction of habitable land for many creatures? I've always heard that simply reducing the amount of animal products does not always correlate to an increase in benefits for wildlife. I'm asking this legitimately because I am ignorant about it.
Isn't that what DOCSIS is supposed to be?

Archaeological evidence

Evidence from literate civilizations writing about their uncivilized neighbors, which goes back to the earliest known works

Evidence from writers encountering such societies up to the modern day, although they're almost extinct outside of the deep Amazon and the like.

Logical conclusions - without a food surplus, there is no class system and other results
Can't edit the comment so I'll just put this here: didn't expect this to get upvoted to be honest ;) I was trying to be bitter and petty as a kind of dark humour, but for the record I actually think it's pretty cool that students at MIT have that kind of support behind them.

That said, it's always sort of amusing to see the MIT PR-machine at work, because it's so _obvious_ once you get familiar with how they work. At most universities the idea of hiring someone to make a professional animation with perfect sound-studio recorded narrative for a single project/paper would just... not happen. On the other hand I can see why they do it, because it works.. it really changes how people perceive the work, and the importance of it. On the other hand, yes, it can be a little frustrating to see something sort of publicized as completely game-changing as if the work came leaped forth from the vacuum of space and directly into the minds of MIT graduate students, when plenty of other people at other universities are doing related work. (How many citations does the video have, for example?) Not saying that's the case here, but I'll admit that it's sometimes been how I've initially reacted to things from MIT that were closer to my research domain. Kind of like, "hey that's pretty similar to what I'm doing, how come I don't have a dedicated web page and professional video and thousands of hits coming from the top of hacker news and reddit?" And then it hits me: "oh right, because I didn't make one.."

tldr; MIT has PR down to a science. They take publicity seriously, and it makes a huge difference for them. That is not necessarily a bad thing, although it does raise the bar for everyone else, which can be kind of annoying when you have papers and theses to write.

Although you can get the coding support in Sublime through Omnisharp: http://www.omnisharp.net/#integrations

They are providing the same tools they use to drive VSC to many popular editors, including Emacs and Vim as well. It seems that Microsoft wants to give you the best support they can in whatever environment you like!
D killed itself with the Digital Mars/Phobos confusion years ago. That it uses a GC doesn't help matters.
This is the most assinine piece of garbage I've ever read.. I'm by no means a linux pro -- having used it off and on for ten years, and only ditched windows completely 3 years ago -- BUT it BLOWS windows and apple away because of it's open source community. Sure there can be driver issues sometimes, but if you try enough things you can usually get that solved. -- if not then get a better graphics card that's geared specifically for Linux Nvideo is usually better than AMD/ATI (regretfully I have a ati Radeon 270x ) - but the AMDGPU drivers that just came out seem to have fixed most of my issues.

If you don't like gnome or kde don't use them -- I abhor both.. I've installed kubuntu, ubuntu, xubuntu, lxde, and other flavors on top of my existing system only to uninstall them all and go with i3 which is much sleeker, more customizable, just works, and doesn't bloat my system.

I spend 90% of my day in console or sublime-text I only keep xfce around for when I want a visual app manager instead of alt+d and a gui settings manager to fix mouse issues or what not. Since switching to i3 my computer never freezes anymore like it used to, and hardly ever touch the mouse unless in browser.

Centos is more for server work not desktop crap anyways, ubuntu is the best for desktop - or possibly Arch, driver support is generally better for ubuntu kernels but Arch has a vibrant community around it, and when I reformat or build a new p.c. I'm probably switching to Arch + i3.
I wonder if they are backfilling rewards to any of the external researchers who have been doing all of Apple's security research for the last decade. Just as an example, a single researcher from Google is credited with 11 separate vulnerabilities that would qualify for the $50k reward, in a single patchlevel of OS X (and the same person had five such credits in the patchlevel prior to that!). That's almost a million bucks worth of rewards in only half a year of disclosures.
> the scholastic, monastic, or financial professions

Even in a patriarchy, could it not be that one or more of these professions would be seen in some early societies as "women's work"—i.e. work at first done by women because it was low-status (it was the work that was "left over") and then later because those women became skilled in said work and it became their comparative advantage?

This is, after all, what happened with typing-cum-programming in the 1950s.

Besides which, at least one of the above professions—teaching—is usually heavily connected with childrearing, and thereby usually ends up female-dominated-by-default until large-scale market forces come into play.

Should be. AFAIK psycopg2 works with Redshift just fine, so should asyncpg.

The only thing I'm not sure about is what kind of authentication mode Redshift is using. asyncpg doesn't support all of them, but that's easy to fix.
I went wide-eyed about three or four times while reading those instructions!

Super exciting! Thanks for the comment.
Spent a Saturday a while back with Detroit's digital stewards. They are true mesh network wizards and have gone all over the world helping communities set up their own mesh networks. I am in awe of what these people have accomplished with literally no money.

https://www.alliedmedia.org/dctp/digitalstewards

Something like 70% of Detroiters lack net access and this group is slowly trying to change that. They could be better organized about asking for outside help. If you've got an old router or want to just send them a buck it goes towards putting more families on the Internet. They're also looking for developers to write programs for specific community needs, most of them are hardware people.
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, and I've had problems with the Software Manager simply just not doing anything. (there's a bug filed for it) and I can't get VPN stuff from Private Internet Access working either. Attempts to connect and then just drops.

Firefox and Chrome have worked ok.

But not really being able to update or install software from the GUI is frustrating. I can do it myself from the command line, but the girlfriend is not a command line user at all.
Why must they be exclusive? Propaganda is a classic justification for corruption, incompetence, and fraud. You need a place to encourage people to look that isn't where you are exploiting.
A good case could also be made for the original Star Wars--albeit in a faster-paced and more action-oriented--as opposed to perfectly composed--way.

Agreed. I haven't read too much of the work policies and changes she enacted but the only thing i remember really making her tenure significant was shutting down work from home jobs.

Haven't tried, but, AFAIK, redshift speaks the standard PostgreSQL protocol, so asyncpg should work.
Presumably as it became apparent that Facebook was squelching conversations about businesses that had not paid the tax, people would learn to have those kinds of conversations elsewhere instead.
I am a grad student. If you consider how many hours I work, I probably make less than minimum wage.

I am also the first author of the paper described in these videos, which my colleagues and I published in the top academic journal in our field.

I also made all of the videos, did the voiceovers, and hand drew the animations (though I'm flattered you think they were professionally done). I wrote and presented the TED talk. I purchased the dedicated host name for a single algorithm (using money from my own grad student stipend no less) and created the webpage myself.

I am an academic first, and I take academic integrity very seriously. I also take education very seriously. I consider educating the public about research to be part of my job, and this is done best when people are excited about the research.

Also, this work IS exciting. If it weren't we wouldn't have spent so much time working on it and it wouldn't have been published in ACM TOG. But back to flashy videos and press...

Consider that in the past three days, nearly 100,000 people (and counting) sat through a video where I explain what vibration modes are. VIBRATION MODES. They may have been lured in by pokemon, but kids who remember that video won't have to ask their physics teachers "but why should I care about this? what is it useful for?" Hell, if it gets people excited I hope teachers show it to their students before they teach the topic. I'm not making money off of these videos, I'm just stoked this many people are getting excited about research. Our paper has 17 numbered equations in it - it's not exactly a page turner.

When scientists don't make an effort to communicate their work to the public, that responsibility falls on people outside of the academic community - people who often don't understand the work. When we make things harder for the press, we only encourage them to bastardize the work to make it more palatable to the general public. By taking an active role in how we present academic work to general audiences, we can better shape the message, manage expectations, and help prevent content from being sacrificed for click-bait.

Ok, I'm going to get off my soap box now.
Cheers!

I don't think it would make economical sense for Apple to pay for something that they already got for free.
This is why nobody should use a debit card. With a credit card, I call my issuer, tell them that I don't owe the charge, and after that it's the merchant's problem.
Why not use Google Chrome or Google Chrome Beta -- they usually seem to work better than Chromium in my opinion...

This! Adding to the parent post, I've also found that regulating sugar can have an enormous impact. Also, 6 is a very impressionable age and you should try to make sure their peers aren't exhibiting the same behaviors you're trying to curb. Last but not least, I find alot of outdoor time with neighborhood kids really helps use up all the energy she has by the time dinner and bed time come around.
As a Brazilian I can say this article is full of misinformation regarding current political events.

The "coup" allegations are nothing but ridiculous. What kind of coups is done with ample defense opportunity and full validation of the Supreme Court? There's nothing flimsy about the fiscal fraud committed by the soon to be former president. And while this is not being considered for the impeachment process (because it happened after it had began), she is under investigation for obstruction of justice (for nominating Lula a minister in the hopes of escaping the corruption investigations), and people who worked for her party and who are now in jail have confirmed she was fully aware of the corruption scheme and money laundering in the form of campaign donations.

It's funny because in 92 the same politicians who are now claiming a coup is going on have voted in favor of impeachment on much lighter claims against the president at the time (including the same nonsense speeches as house members voted in congress).

The part about the outrage for the the end of the Ministry of Culture shows a lot of what's wrong with Brazil: everyone wants their own government tit to suck from. As if culture can be created by government bureocrats.

No wonder the previous government's cabinet had 38 ministries, including the Ministry of Fishing. At least it didn't come to a point where we had a Ministry of Happiness like in Venezuela.

I can't really. Africa has a population of 1.1B. That's not even $4/head.
Are you using Synaptic? There are other package managers out there... I can't think of the name but KDE has one - you also could try getting rid of ubuntu-desktop and going w/ Kubuntu-desktop (or you can install side-by-side and pick your poison at the session screen. ) -- Kubuntu has it's own different package manager.. though I prefer using apt-get to install things...Synaptic if I'm just browing what's available or looking for something not-specific for a task or something.

Even hunter-gatherers have chiefs and elders.
if you're using the default software manager, and not synaptic - try running: sudo-apt-get install synaptic
It should fix all your issues.
This is one of the more confusing comments I've read on this site...
I find it funny an article on swearing is going to be discussed on a site where the general users will deride you and hold you as unprofessional for swearing on it.

Perhaps we should have an article on the healing power of humour next.
Social hierarchies are thought to be one of the innovations of civilization. There is not any evidence of an inherent matriarchy or patriarchy, and there were civilizations that went either way. In fact the strongest theory I've seen argues for a dichotomy of plough vs hoe civilizations: men are better equipped to plough, women are better equipped to hoe. This led to division of labor and social stratification along the lines of sex.
I think you've got to understand that Point of View is absolutely crucial in ascertaining how "radical" a view point is. I think to most people here the idea of incarcerating people who choose to abort there pregnancies is truly radical, something that seems without basis in fact or logic. But you're missing the crucial point here, which you could come to by listening: to the woman in the article, abortion is murder. It is killing another individual. If you are willing to take that as fact, to consider another's point of view instead of just be reviled by it, you might realize that given the presumption that abortion is literally murder, the criminalization of abortion is not so absurd after all. Now, you may still have now idea and be reviled by the notion that abortion could be considered murder, but at least you understand why they would want abortion to be criminalized.
Agree completely, which is why the previous government had public companies (i.e. taxpayer money) spend millions to fund "progressive" blogs and other people working on social media to speak well of the government.

But I don't think this is what the parent poster was talking about.
I have worked for five companies that have been acquired whilst I was there. None were startups, I was never an early employee.

The first company I worked for was acquired within a couple of weeks of my starting to work there. It was a huge employer that kept the local economy afloat, then the new owners instigated tens of thousands of lay-offs. I left as soon as I could.

Another company was sold off very cheaply after being asset-stripped. I jumped ship as soon as I could but I'm still in touch with some people there and the new owners made a success of it.

Another firm got merged with another to provide a better range of services. There was almost no impact on my day-to-day work and no changes to terms of employment.

The next company was a small, scrappy player that got bought by their biggest competitor. A drip-feed of really crappy little changes ensued: no more flexi-time, must stay in this hotel chain, Lotus Notes for email. I had been planning to leave anyway and quit soon after the deal. Eventually everyone from the original team quit and some started a competing company in the same market.

Another company that I worked with got bought by a competitor. It became very clear that office politics trumped engineering practices throughout the new organisation. I stuck around for over a year trying to make it work but eventually I counted that my team of three engineers had five different managers each using us as leverage screw over the other guys - quitting time again!

In every case the new management said positive things, the outgoing management said positive things but there were never any actions or incentives to keep staff. This is understandable when buying market share, but that was not the case every time. Given that most coders can get a 10% raise by switching jobs, providing a 5% retention bonus seems a good way of getting engineers to ride out the changes of an acquisition.

Those managing the transition should pay attention to the little things too. I actually heard one HR person say that our coffee machine had to go because it was better than those in all the other offices of the group. You can imagine how well that change went across.
What do you mean? what makes you think there is any distinction between family and community outside of incest taboos, which may not have even existed in prehistory? What does an identification of a mother as family have to do with matriarchies? You haven't even made an argument.
Out of the box (which matters - just because an extension exists, doesn't mean everyone who would benefit from it can find it, add it, configure it, etc.)?

For one, nice git integration. You can see lines added/changed/removed in the gutter, unobtrusively.

Sublime has a plugin that does something similar but it's not out of box and it's not as nice/polished.

This is just one thing.
I think it's just part of autocomplete, but it has to have an expanded set of contexts it uses. I think VSC only checks for actual existing types/properties in that context. But other editors can be more intelligent: IntelliJ's IDEs, for example, will automatically autocomplete a new method name to a method that some code is referring to but that doesn't exist yet (it knows I'm trying to create it). I'll check what variables you created and suggest some names for new variables depending on context. Etc.

It's really vague, but I'd still call it autocomplete.

Some editors, like Notepad++, end up using whatever they can find as a means to autocomplete. So you end up with a huge list of suggestions for anything you type. But it's because they lack the power to analyze the code and actually know what's allowed where you're typing.
You can do that for under 20 cents in bulk with a power budget of around 0.01 watts. Modern CPU are kind of mind bending awesome, but you can also get useful processing at the 35µA level.
Fixed. What a wonderful quirk of English, that both words mean mostly the same thing, but one is an animal, while the other is a verb.
Nor "organize import", you're right. I became too used to this in other editors, and now my (manually managed) imports are a royal mess.
This seems like a pretty generic reason that doesn't explain that much. Are state actors not bidders on gmail, android, facebook, firefox, chrome?
Wow, this could be exciting, I'm really glad valve followed through on their word of opening this up, and it seems they've done so in a pretty good way. Providing an open standard for tracking is fantastic.
It should be pretty easy to build a plugin that makes this happen. By default I think it auto completes from the buffer of existing document.

>130, Marissa is missing the point of life. Yes, work is important but If she's working that many hours then she needs to know that we work to live a nice life but if all of life is taken over by work then what's the point.

"What's the point" of life is a question for which nobody has a definitive answer. Hell, if you can answer that for just your own life you're miles ahead of most people.

Some people aren't happy unless they have a project that consumes every waking moment, and she may be one.

You never want a person like that in management at any level unless they understand how different they are from normal people.
