I just recently switched to vim full time, maybe 4 months ago, after my existing IDE switched to a subscription model following two updates that made the software more and more buggy. I don't have definitive answers, just experiences:

1. The first two weeks were hell. It felt like learning to use a keyboard all over again. I've tried to get started with vim multiple times, leaving because I needed something faster. This time, I just happened to catch a break in work where there was no one breathing down my neck to get stuff out the door yesterday.

After two weeks or so, you start to learn the vim mindset. It's hard to explain, but vim is both a language (via movements and interacting) and a way of thinking (via modes). I'm still adjusting to all of those, but it's gotten to the point where I think of a task, attempt it with the shortcuts I know (the "language"), and 2/3 of the time, it just works.

2. Is there speed over previous IDEs and text editors? It's about the same for me, with the added benefit that I'm no longer tied to a system I have to pay for, it's cross-platform, and pretty available in most sports.

For Mac at least, there are things like MacVIM where I believe they let you use your mouse to click around. I did all of my learning from the Laracasts vim series, and I really like his approach of doing what works for you. MacVIM adds shortcuts like command-S to save instead of :w and stuff. If it works for you, cool. I took the approach that I want to learn the base system (plus plugins) because that is a more common cross-platform interface.

From using an IDE, I don't know if I'm saving time by not using the mouse or not, but I know that I can more quickly get places within the code if I know where I'm going. I assume the benefit of not reaching over to use the mouse is helping, but I can't really tell.

For me, there were other reasons, but I don't regret the switch at all. I'm still quite the novice, but I've switched to using it nearly exclusively for projects. (If I just need to quickly open a file from the Mac Finder, I double-click and something non-vim opens. I'm OK with that, I'm no purist.)

The only place it bites you is when you use vim for a while and then go back to something like Code or SublimeText and you're typing vim commands into the screen as characters. Make sure you double-check your work so that you're not pushing ":w"'s up to production. :)
> Sure, but OP didn't specifically ask you to review the code anyway,

Posting to Show HN isn't asking for review?
I find it ridiculous that you feel the need to issue a disclaimer about a comparison between Malcolm X and Windows 10. It's a perfectly valid comparison, though obviously using hyperbole, and it's pathetic that you can't use a hyperbolic comparison like this without some stupid hipster bitching about it these days.
Totally agree with you here.
You can block mobile with directional means. It can be very targeted.

It's really important to remember that these are inflation adjusted returns, meaning that in most cases, if you were not invested, you would have lost even more money than this graphic indicates.
He could be tortured or pressure could be put on his contacts.

In the former case he might fear he releases the secret to stop the Dead Man's Switch, in the latter case his contacts might avoid him or be tortured themselves just to pressure JA, so it doesn't sound like a free life either.

The best comparison I have is: You know how when you are helping someone that doesn't know how to use a computer? How frustrating it is as they slowly mouse around, looking for stuff - makes you wanna just sit down and take over?

Well that's how I now feel when someone else is editing a file without Vim.

Do not believe everything you think, your "gut" is about as trustworthy a source of data as any other organ. Have you considered that this really is just reality as it is ?
This story only states that Assange told them this along with his suspicion that he's been targeted by some state, not e.g. a tree falling or a jackhammer mis-jackhammering.

BBC has not verified any of those claims, and they went and reported it despite the fact that part of it either isn't clear or doesn't make sense -- what does it even mean to have his internet "cut"?

This story could just as well turn out to be of a tree or a jackhammer.
This is an awesome find on HN. I was just the other day wanting a Geiger counter to use as a random number generator. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to find one for an affordable price.
It's akin to a nuclear exchange. You can only use it once. It's MAD.

So you hold onto it to protect a high value asset - your life. Assume that you want charges dropped unto you - and you get that granted. Then you want something more annoying to the powers you control - maybe that would be granted. But at a certain point the cost to grant you wishes is going to be on the same level as the threat you hold over me, and then I may decide to take the fallout, and be done with it.

I suspect we're on the verge of this - Assange has something so damning that the fallout of having him taken out in broad daylight becomes something you contemplate. If this is so, at this point if Assange goes public with what he knows, he's a dead man anyway.
Difficult to imagine the person who called for Assange to be "droned" could influence anyone to cut his internet?
Booker is reporting the attempts by Lord Justice Munby, who should be in a position to know, to correct the selection of miscarriages of justice in the 11 years the Court has existed. It's bordering on systemically broken.

The whole way the court was set up was a mess. The 2005 Mental Health Act was shoddy legislation, and created the Court, which was also set up shoddily. Labour almost immediately lost an outrageous ECR case and had to amend the the Act in 07 or 08. I think there might be another going through the ECR.

There have been endless complaints about it's operation, with reports going back years, in all political flavours of the media. So I for one welcome what the Telegraph, Christopher Booker and the judge are doing. The Telegraph is not my usual choice of view or politics.

All the cases except the most recent have been extensively reported.

Were it on climate change or one of the other Torygraph axes being ground, I'd agree with your critique, I don't think it really fits here.
I'm a bit confused by all the comments here spinning off down conspiracy theories, but not much on facts.

"State actor" can only really mean UK or Ecuadorian government - or at the very least one of those two must be pulling the trigger.

If it's Ecuador that makes some sense, they control the connections to the outside world - they could just change some passwords and internet is cut. But that would be very obviously what had happened so why not just name them.

Alternatively the UK could cut the connection from outside the embassy. I don't see how that could be done without cutting off the internet for the whole embassy. That would possibly be in breach of the Vienna Convention [0] but at the very least I can't imagine it happening without creating a gigantic diplomatic stink.

Neither of those options sound that plausible. Is there a third I've missed? Somehow know it's Assange browsing and kill all his packets in flight?

Also, this is central London - the internet floats freely through the air. Contingency measure is tethering?

Why IT Departments Aren’t Just Costly Overhead
How Your First Programming Language Warps Your Brain
I bet half of what looks like slap-dash in retrospect is actually attempts to achieve perfection too soon by being uninformed (of the tools, or of the requirements, or of the environment the solution must exist in).

Either way, what you end up with is technical debt.
>Apple products haven't been the high end of the market for a long time, they're mass produced, mass consumed, purely disposable tech.

They are obviously mass produced, as they are consumer electronics, not boutique items.

They still cater to the high end of the laptop/desktop market (which is not the same as the "gamer laptop" or the "high end 20-core rendering workstation" niche market).

What competition do you think they have at that?

They are if not the most, some of the most well designed, well thought out, and innovative custom solutions (from heat dissipation to machining and assembly). The parts they use are the cream of the crop of the respective yields too -- when they mass order Samsung SSDs or AMD cards or memory, they get the best production runs. They don't use the most screaming, 1000 watt, 2-fans greatest speed AMD/Nvidia cards, but for the ones they do use, and that fit the energy/power profile they want to have in their boxes, they use their mass purchasing power to get the best units.
From what I've heard (and take this with a pyramid of salt because it's an anonomous internet comment) Jony Ive is essentially on a sabbatical and hasn't been seen on Apple's campus since before Summer. If I had to guess, he wants to leave Apple, but is staying on either until some unspecified product reveal or because he has to wait-out stock options or something.
True Pundit is not in any way shape or form a reliable source and this quote is completely unsourced.
We're in the middle of some crazy propaganda war right now, and it's been this way for quite a while. It became completely transparent when the Podesta e-mails were released mere minutes after Trump's videos regarding possible sexual assault were released.

Ever since the DNC leaks and the subsequent accusations against Russia, it became clear to me that, at some point, the attempts to tarnish Wikileaks's name was to prime the listening audience in a way such that when information so irreparably damaging would get released, the voters would have to choose between continuing a corrupt government and choosing an apparently mad authoritarian, and to soften the landing on the former. Since the RNC, Trump's campaign has been entirely pushing "Don't believe their lies", and the gaslighting from both sides seems to be hitting a nadir at this moment. It's becoming far more difficult to find reality in the fog.

These are indeed interesting times.
Transfer learning with the Inception model
Funny too because the argument is that Hillary wasn't negligent with classified data, thus why would Podesta emails be unlawful to read? Either information is classified and Hillary was criminally negligent or it's not and therefore nothing 'unlawful' about WikiLeaks.

More interesting that CNN thinks they can read them but the public can not. Media organizations have no security clearances and thus are subject to the same access as anyone else.
I'm not sure what it says about the English language that common given names also refer to genitalia, money, prostitutes' clients and toilets (e.g. dick, willy, john and so on).

Probably nothing, but still pretty awkward as a foreigner. You'd think these names would fall out of style but apparently everybody tries their best to be mature about it.
How is nuclear not reliable? There's no dependence on other countries for fuel and no need for the sun or wind to be there.
It's hard for me to believe that "gleaming" or "shimmering" would be an objectively better translation. Even putting aside that it's a beautiful turn of phrase, Homer's audience would have been conscious of the simile suggested by the word choice, no?
> it's the result of leaving nonfiction communication to the lowest-common-denominator of market forces.

but seriously, what's the alternative? How do you avoid market forces? What process does a culture need to undergo to pull it's journalism away from market forces and enshrine it so that it is no longer a commodity afflicted by the market's weaknesses?

Is the BBC one such isolated place where the culture of the UK that supports it simply expects it to always have a higher standard, market demands be damned? How did it get there? Or more cynically, how much longer can it last?
To be clear I don't think it's unreasonable, it just seems it would be difficult to define & enforce, because it's already matter of public record. For example, what if the fingerprint was lifted from the scene of the crime? Can you use that to unlock the phone?
From my POV: Open Source should be about transparency, 3rd party code reviews and occasionally contribution from your own fanbase/community or well niche players. It was never about allowing (unpaid) developers help you built your project, unfortunately most people think the later is why you go OSS.
I had a neutral opinion of Assange until he posted (and then deleted) a tweet with echo parentheses. That made it pretty obvious he's not really in it for any noble purpose.
The best approach for me is finding a shared connection that will do an intro:

* It validates you
* It puts the other person "on the hook". Not good form to completely ignore an introduction.
I'd be curious if notions of "direct democracy" as we understand it today even existed in Madison's time.
> ...rare people with the luxury over control of those settings in their workplace.

Would you kindly provide a citation for that statement?

I've been programming on Windows for twenty years in various corporations - never had a problem getting Admin rights on my own machine... I'm now a consultant and I visit many, many, many job sites - and I just don't see it being a problem.

Furthermore - Linux wouldn't solve the problem for those rare people who can't control their settings anyway. So, what's your point?
Same tune here.

What docker promises is truly amazing and is something that I think everyone wants. However, docker itself still has a lot of problems.

In particular, docker's new builtin swarm (with 1.12) has tons of issues. I've experienced __so many__ problems coordinating container startups on a swarm cluster.

From the documentation:

> Swarm can build an image from a Dockerfile just like a
single-host Docker instance can, but the resulting image
will only live on a single node and won’t be distributed
to other nodes.

This is a serious weakness.

You have to use __manual scheduling__ if you want to ensure services are started on the same node. This is problematic if your inventory of nodes is dynamic and frequently changing. Allegedly, kubernetes solves this problem.

Swarm (and the whole ecosystem) is still not as mature as it could be, but I think the end result is going to be very awesome and useful.

Setting up vim as an IDE is cool, but it certainly not a "first step." Better to learn foundational vim concepts, and then make this decision.

My biggest problem w/ modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras is that critical controls are buried in menus or they are assigned to dials whose behavior changes. Photography is very much a flow / muscle memory thing for me. I just can't get in the flow when I'm questioning whether this dial is assigned to ISO or exposure compensation or was it shutter speed? Worse, I'll probably pick it up and shoot something quickly not realizing that the settings are totally wrong. With the Fuji I can tell what state it's in without turning it on.

Fuji took a UX worked for decades on film cameras and applied it to digital cameras. The result is that I'm having a lot more fun taking pictures.

The comment is perfectly reasonable: you need an 800 pound gorilla, but many people don't.
With good reason - those people are accessible if you go about things the right way. In this particular case I don't you'd get very far because "What problems do you have?" is far too open a question. If you ask something specific and you make it straightforward to reply then you'll often get something back.
Seth Rich would agree.
There are conferences specializing in giving rookie persenters chances. KCDC, for instance, takes chances on a lot of new people every year.

Another good way to start is user groups: Many will let anyone speak as long as they claim to have a relevant topic. After a video or two of those, you move up until you are eventually invited into conferences that invite speakers, as opposed to ask for submissions. Even for a talented speaker, the road from one end to the other will take about 3 years, speaking at least 5 times a year.

I for one don't think is worth it at all, but I have friends that have 10+ speaking trips a year.
Yes, a drone strike in the middle of the capital city of our closest ally, obviously that was a serious suggestion....
Why pay the idea guy then? Just have traditional promoted listings and seller/market pocket the money regardless of the origin or design of the items.
Kinda like Dutch. I wonder if people from other related languages that don't do this think Russian sounds "cute" because of that (like how Germans often say everything sounds "cute" in Dutch).
<I can only imagine what it was like to live through the cold war with the colossal fear of nuclear annihilation

It was NEVER top of mind. Remember, the only news was evening broadcasts for 30 minutes or ap/upi reports in local papers. New York times didn't make it to my state except Sundays. It was NEVER a conversation growing up. Back then to find out if your team won you would have to wait for the paper 2 days later if it was not the local team.

Assange was NOT behind the Panama papers. Like you said that exposed Putin corruption so Assange called it a hitjob on Putin.

I don't think he means "cyclical" like "they obsolete themselves quickly so you have to buy a new one," but rather "cyclical" like "when the economy is down, people just hang on to the car they have for 5+ more years rather than buy a new one."

Margins is super complicated. iPhones don't cost more than Samsung flagships -- Apple's margins seem to come mostly from controlling manufacturing costs. Could Apple assert similar control over manufacturing costs for cars? Maybe! But maybe not. Cars are more complicated than phones.

If a margin inflation gets passed along to consumers, well, there are more people willing to pay an extra $200 (compared to a lower-cost competitor) every few years to have an iPhone than there are people willing to pay an extra $20,000 every few more years to buy an iCar -- just because it's a lot more money. And to be clear, $20,000 is an equivalent margin to the $200, scaled up for costs.
Because the laws of war is different when you have civilians as your main targets?

Edit: My answer to throwaway98237's deleted follow up comment:

>> a small band of tribes from Afghanistan

>> Also, the "laws of war" have evolved over time.

You went from: Setting an equal sign between terrorists and real armies (which use legal weapons psychological warfare against enemy soldiers, not against civilians).

To: Excusing terrorists because (a) some of them also do guerrilla warfare and (b) because the laws of war were a bit different 50+ years ago?

That is just not coherent.

Bye.
Seems very clear to me - the Court has ordered a stop to a pattern of behaviour, the person so ordered has not stopped, and so the court is "turning up the volume" by using the powers it has available to it.

Regardless of what you may think of the duration of the sentence (and I'll assume that it's within the bounds of both legality and jurisprudence for the circumstances), the Judge takes into account that the ordered person probably didn't believe that the Court would follow through on things.

That's because there are no facts. We don't even know if the internet was cut in the first place. (One wonders how they managed to post to Twitter without internet access.) The "state actor" part is completely unsubstantiated.

The third option you've missed is "this is all bullshit." Either because it's not happening at all, or because the embassy's internet is down due to some routine outage.
Hey, it would work! But you're right - it's an irrational response to a very frustrating situation of feeling powerless to fix things that are so obviously wrong.
The inflation-adjusted yield on those bonds is currently near 0%, and actually negative for short durations.
It's a pretty impressive feat if they manage to disconnect Assange while leaving the embassy connected.

Messing with the communications capabilities of an embassy is not something done without a whole lot of possible fall-out.
Apache started life as a huge collection of patches onto something else rather then implementing everything itself, and many would argue that this history still shows in negative ways at times.
Apache is a great project, but it really isn't a good example to use when trying to make the case for implementing everything in-project as efficiently as possible instead of using external dependencies.

That's not quite true. Maybe you are confused about the "module" aspect of Apache httpd and what it really means. Sure, there are a bunch of external, 3rd party modules, but the bulk of Apache capability is handled by bundled, official, "in-project" modules and not external dependencies.
I have no opinion on Assange either way, but at this point is it so fantastic even to suggest that there might be state actors behind this? Or are you suggesting that blocking internet connection is probably not a worthwhile exercise enough for state actors? I can understand that argument.
