> How does Emacs help with this particular problem?

What, inefficiency? Inefficiency wasn't the problem. The problem was having to focus too much of my mind on how to use the editor. Muscle memory is invaluable, and Vim just doesn't let my muscle memory take over if I keep having to think about what's the most "efficient" way to move around or change text. Emacs lets my muscle memory take over easily. I just hit C-n or M-S-] a lot. It's inefficient, sure. But who cares? I never realize I'm doing it, and I never feel blocked having to wait until I get to the line I want to.

Hold up, lemme put on my shocked face... :|
Of the many recurring stupid ideas for startups I have had is a software company that does not write code. Instead it edits and removes code. This has been called "negative coding."

Few people write small programs anymore. UNIX, the OS that runs the internet and on which the "cloud" depends, is a time-capsule full of small programs. What this might mean is left as an exercise for the reader.

Today, large programs are celebrated without question.

Gratuitous complexity can be disguised as "productivity" and pitched as value creation. At the very least it can be a source of fascination for futurists. Any liabilities created in the process can be easily explained away.

Among the many things that can be done with this output, one of them to is to make small programs from the larger ones. As far as I can tell, this is not being done.

For myself, I have taken large, open source programs and gutted all the needless features in order to produce the small programs I want.

My goal is less complexity. Simplicity is a loaded term. For myself, this process of incrementally reducing complexity "creates value". It is an intellectual exercise, there is a sense of productivity, and yet almost no code is written.

Software companies are full of developers who cut, paste and compile. Today many of them are working with open sourced code. The software company I aim to start is comprised of "programmers" who also work with such open sourced code, they only cut and compile.

EDIT: Whenever I see the "Who's hiring" thread I always wish I could put in an entry for this. The vision I have is a group of "early employees" with day jobs. Absent connections and name dropping no VC would ever fund this. No one will be paid to do this "negative coding" work until we secure our first government or Fortune 100 contract and they see the results. And even then I could not guarantee the results would be appropriately valued. But were this fictional company to succeed, those early employees could claim they were an integral part of a monumental paradigm shift.

EDIT 2: The fictional company does negative coding on single programs to reduce them in size or to break them up into smaller programs and is not limited to the embedded market or driven by resource constraints. Selecting parts of an open source OS distribution to create a new distribution is a different idea and of course many companies have been doing that for many years.
I've learned it's important to be secure in your own abilities and bright future regardless of the dice roll outcome of your own startup.

> It still remains unclear to me how letting users opt out of making Twitter $0.55/month by giving Twitter, say, $4.95/month is a bad idea.

Hypothetically speaking, allowing those users to opt out would mean Twitter makes $0.20/month from the remaining users, rather than $0.55/month. Will enough users buy a premium subscription to make up that loss? I don't see the evidence that they would.

Of course, it's all hypothetical and none of us know the actual numbers involved. But I'd wager Twitter has looked at it at least once and decided it was not a good idea.
These are all good tips but most of the anti-patterns seem to skew towards beginners (e.g. don't use the arrow keys, don't navigate in insert mode). One that I think is more common among intermediate, and even advanced, users is the misuse of tabs, windows, and buffers.

A lot of people have a tendency to think of each tab as corresponding to a single open file. This is very understandable because it closely matches the paradigm of most IDEs but it's actually an anti-pattern in VIM. Tabs are really meant to be more like workspaces where you arrange multiple windows into a desired layouts. You then have one buffer for each file that you're dealing with and view them in your windows. It's perfectly fine for multiple windows to share a single buffer or to switch out the buffer that is being viewed in any given window. This StackOverflow answer [1] and this blogpost [2] both go into a fair bit more detail.

If you're trying out this approach for the first time then you probably want to add `set hidden` to your configuration in order to avoid automatically closing buffers that aren't currently being viewed in a window. Coupling this approach with fzf.vim [3] makes managing very large numbers of files a breeze compared to using one tab per file.

Absolutely agree. I completely disabled arrow keys for a short time; ~3 months. It started out after reading a similar recommendation. It was difficult for a few days, but then I completely forgot about my arrow keys and the fact that I disabled them. It wasn't until months later that I was in one of these situations that I wanted to use the arrow keys, but they didn't work. Which was confusing.

This must have been around the time that I started to understand, and manicure, my vimrc because I remember having to learn all the mapping modes to recover arrow keys for Insert Mode.

So, anecdotally, completely disabling arrow keys led me to learn more Vim than just efficient movement.

Today, though, I don't have the makings anymore because it's no longer a problem.

One quick question; I can't answer this because I am currently commuting. Does 'noremap' disable keys in Command Mode? Now, that would be aggregating, to me.

Also, there a remap mode that combines Normal and Visual modes (right?), that would be one better than 'nnoremap'.

How bad is the screen crack? I had a Samsung S3, which I found a very disappointing handset from the start, and then I managed to crack its screen after two months in a two-foot drop. I hung onto it for 22 more months because I had a grudge going on (it was at least a good opportunity anti-advertise Samsung). After a while I hardly noticed the crack and it didn't affect operation. So maybe you could live with it for some months.

I've been relatively happy with the Note 4 that replaced it, though the headphone jack recently died so I've unintentionally become bluetooth-only.

I don't see anything about "with fury" in the wikipedia article you mentioned, but it does say he was with the agency for 30 years.

Not that we'll ever know what really happens over there (nor do I claim to know anything about these things), but in interviews, his argument was that his project was more sensitive to the privacy of American citizens, but the agency instead instead went with an approach that violated the constitution. Leading him to resign.

And aren't there other sources from the British government that essentially agree that the UK "review" doesn't exist?
Sure, they could beat Musk to Mars if they succeed in lobbying congress to enact laws forcing SpaceX' accidents to be investigated by the FAA. ULA is railing over losing their exclusive USAF launch contracts and shouting down SpaceX whenever they can, it seems. How about they put their (considerable, federal) money where their mouth is and get us to Mars.
Mail...Kimp?
So you are defending them (at least in the first sentence)from your speculation based on what you heard around town, that customers were simply not sustainable fits... Wouldn't it make sense they not offer a service package that is unsustainable in the first place? The clients myself and many others put on Mandrill were certainly not free tier anything, and they still offer the service, just under he Mailchimp name. (point being it can't be too unsustainable if they still offer it)

Customers I know who were ultimately stuck by being heavily integrated in the Mandrill API still suffered issues and downtime with the flawed account migration process. Just about every paying (and non paying) Mandrill customer got screwed in one way or another.

Whatsapp was not a "instant messaging" app in the way you put it. It was started specifically to get around high SMS carrier rates in countries around the world, hence their ultra-fast adoption in ROW.

Not trying to nitpick, just pointing out that Whatsapp didn't start in a crowded market. They actually did something unique that made messaging their friends & family way cheaper and easier.
We weren't free tier spammers either and we paid them a good amount of money for Mandrill. They changed their TOS to make it not possible to send out bulk mailings without using their managed and much more expensive MailChimp service. We are not spammers, we are a non-profit that sends digest emails of our content to those who specifically subscribe and confirm. We also have our own mailing system so we do not need the features MailChimp provides, we just need well instrumented SMTP.

We then switched to Amazon SES but still have a bitter feeling about MailChimp and will move our services that are using the full MailChimp product. Some of the change was indeed to control spammers, but when you are forcing over enterprises sending 100's of thousands of emails without complaint, that starts crossing the line where you want to better monetize your product. Giving your customers 60 days to engineer a different solution after they invested in your product is not good business.
Did you also perform some tests with slow clients (or ones that do not receive data at all)?

These are the situations where it usually gets a lot more interesting. E.g. if the library just buffers messages all the way until they can be sent you might get out of memory sooner or later.
Agreed. The entire thing is based upon a false premise.

It still remains unclear to me how letting users opt out of making Twitter $0.55/month by giving Twitter, say, $4.95/month is a bad idea.

$0.55/month is the mean for the entire userbase. The actual amount for any particular user can be far more or far less (well up to .55 less) than that.

Users who are more likely to pay 4.95/month are much more likely to be worth more than 4.95/month in advertising revenue.
It's already in use, in fact.
Both Musk and Boeing share these two goals, don't bullshit. Or do you mean that Musk and SpaceX wants to become obsolete?
Tom Wolfe's discussion of this book in a recent Harper's article convinced me this book will be terrible.

My general problem with Wolfe is his creation of fiction from historical events while referring to them as historical. If you've ever read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Wolfe, the big argument between Kesey and Leary never actually happened. Wolfe just made it up and presented it as historical fact.

I expect this book to be more of the same. There's a line between artistic license and lying, and Wolfe has proven repeatedly he does not respect this line.
Why does every story now, regardless of media outlet, have to attach race and politics to everything?

Does it really matter if Louie CK is a white guy who quit Twitter?

Does it matter why or how Donald Trump uses Twitter when Hilary Clinton does and says the same stupid things he does?

Why did the article single out Milo Yiannopoulos (conservative) as someone who got banned and then praise how Black Lives Matter is using the platform?

I really thought some of the industry media I consumed would be above bringing race and politics into every story, but it's every where now and really disconcerting.

It's true. . . .journalism is dead.
Glad to see a live video. Blue Origin had previously had a reputation of being extremely secretive - hopefully SpaceX has demonstrated the advantages of making things a bit more public, which ultimately benefits everyone.
Regulatory enforcement.

Even though PCI DSS is enforced by a private regulatory body, it still carries weight. HIPAA has HHS which does investigate and lead to corrective action. Both of these bodies scare the crap out of a lot of companies. I've worked in both sectors (banking/credit, healthcare) and the fear is palpable.

If the CFPB had the ability to enforce regulatory requirements for handling of PII you bet your ass companies would fall in line. Nobody wants trouble with the feds.

>So, in abstract, dual criminality would require a proper trial in the extraditing country to determine if an offense was committed.

No, dual criminality requires that the person be extradited for (allegedly) doing something which is a crime in both countries. So for example, you can be extradited from the UK to the US on a murder charge because murder is a crime in both countries. Whether or not you have been found guilty of murder in the UK is irrelevant.

>Surely you don't think that someone in a country with due process should be mechanically extradited to a country with no due process,

That is why extradition treaties are generally only signed with countries which have due process. But all of these extradition requests have to go before a court; they're not "mechanical".

>I have repeatedly stated that I'm rejecting the idea that communication can create a legal nexus. In this context since the fraudster has not left Nigeria, all his crimes are happening within Nigeria.

This is just wrong on the face of it, and you've provided no supporting argument. If the fraudster is defrauding people in another country then his is potentially subject to the jurisdiction of that country.

Ten Years Later, How Google Analytics Changed Marketing
So I have used ST3 for years now, and I realise that I'm slowly moving toward Vim. I started using Vim shortcuts in Chrome, and now I use Vintageous in ST3. Vintageous is good, but it is incomplete. It can't even do the first examples on this article (ctrl+f / ctrl+b) correctly.

Thinking I should just bite the bullet. Would mean I could work on a server using Mosh + Tmux as well, which should be rather nice.

I don't disagree that there is a lot of information you cannot include in such a snapshot, and neither the Windows or OS X equivalents(it's the KERN_PROC argument to sysctl btw) give you much detail beyond all pids(which you can get with a directory listing of /proc in linux, though this is not completely atomic either, even with getdents(2)!) and their cmd line/exe path. Those latter two are completely unavailable to get reliably with any method I know of on linux, and that results in some inconsistent and/or incomplete info for certain use cases, especially when combined with the fact that PIDs, though randomized, can be reused on linux.
I don't really begrudge them for not allowing the store application to be removed. I can't imagine the number of customer headaches that would exist because of accidental uninstallation.
Indeed. It replaces one challenge with another. When you're the first to market, your primary challenge is to prove your business model and product market fit. When you're later to market, your challenge is to build a better product and execute a strategy better than your competitors.

Different teams excel at different challenges.

Personally I'd prefer a market with competitors. That means the market exists.
