for text editing and specifically text editing code... vim's command set is amazing. it's short verbs for editing text that are easily remembered.

d delete

c change

t 'til

f find

a after

i insert

u undo

o open a new line

p paste or put

n next occurance

b back a word

y yank (copy)

v visual

ect.

coupled with an object that are less friendly to learn but there aren't that many of them

w word

e end of word

( sentence

{ paragraph

text blocks are directly what you want to change

" double quotes

' single quotes

( parenthesis

{ curly brackets

t tag

ci( change inside the (

da" deletes around the double quote, etc.

it's easy to compose sentences for editing text.

> An article telling people to be nice for the sake of being nice would be correct, but not change a single person.

I have been influenced by blogs which make appeals to ethical conduct (for the sake of ethical conduct) as a desirable end goal.

So it is not true to say that such a blog wouldn't change a single person.

Further, there is a missed opportunity here to discuss the direct, personal physical, mental, and emotional benefits of unlearning excessive attachment to anger.
It may not be possible but you could ask if a small part of the office (in the corner or more secluded) could be earmarked as a concentration "zone".

It's not for people to sit there all day every day and take up residence in this area, it's for when you need to do something that requires concentration and those around are doing the same i.e. no phone calls, no conversations, no eating snacks, like a library really. If you need to do any of those things, you find yourself a spot in the rest of the office.

Failing that, it's either get used to it, try and find the quietest spot you can, or ask if you can work from home/elsewhere.
Tolerating their views, yes. Tolerating violence or the threat of violence, no.

To call someone "faggot" is indeed to threaten violence. The word originally meant "burning stick"; that's why a lit cigarette is sometimes called a "fag". By calling someone "faggot", one is saying they should be burned alive.
What about gut bacteria? Is that going to be destroyed?

Why aren't phages being researched?

Does this target mitochondria too? Other bacteriocidal antibiotics apparently do so, because the structures are similar enough.
Alembic was actually mostly Sony originally - ILM were mostly just a name on the ticket, and ILM started using the format because it was much more Katana-friendly (random access and lazy-loading) than their current format, and they were starting to use Katana at the time.

The first version of Alembic was pretty much just Sony's internal geometry format renamed.

You can treat a .deb package as if it's .xz, because it is. extract it, and make the manual configuration changes. If you'd like, repackage the files into an rpm.

Back in 2006, when I switched to Ubuntu, I used to be the one complaining that developers pretended Redhat = Linux. If I had to choose, I'd pick .deb over .rpm any day.

FWIW, Gentoo offers Pinta in the portage tree:

* media-gfx/pinta

so you could even download the source and rebuild on your own, should you need rpm's that desperately.

Many companies and their enterprise products go back decades with oldest being from 60's. Those are still updated and sold due to lockin. In general case, your point is probably true given natural advantage of open source plus how market kills off so many IT firms.
> They're some of the largest institutional investors in the country, yet they're taxed like a non-profit.

Is there a reason we shouldn't treat major educational institutions as non-profits, assuming we accept the concept of non-profits in the first place? (Note that the rules for non-profits already require spending a certain amount of the endowment every year.)
To my knowledge, CPython is the only piece of software on that list that has its own shared libraries.

And yes, disk usage is a concern. Because those kilobytes add up fast, and I've only got so much space.

And finally, the point isn't merely that it takes up disk: the point is that it's worthless. The old solution to that problem, having init set locale on boot from a config file, worked fine. I don't mind disk use that much. But I do mind pointless software.

All code has bugs: to minimize bugs, write less code.

I agree emphatically. In many cases, other people's inner states inevitably effect us, no matter whether they strive for politeness.
I suppose one of the clearest ways to demonstrate is to note that it's perfectly all right to describe something as a 'greenish blue' but you never hear someone talking about an 'azurish green'.

Because we are not doing hypothesis testing, we are doing classification on a toy dataset. Sure, one could treat this as a forecasting challenge, but then one would need another Titanic sinking in roughly the same context, with the same features... That demand is as unreasonable as calling this modeling knowledge competition meaningless.

And if you see classification as a form of hypothesis testing, then cross-validation is a valid way of testing if hypothesis holds on unseen data.
...Exactly. It sure as heck didn't get into distros on technical merit, because it has none.
I think what you're getting at is _assertiveness_, not anger. Assertiveness expresses urgency (and perhaps frustration) without hostility.

It's the difference between:

> ... I've been hung up on 3 times in the last 30 minutes, please transfer me to your manager ...

and

> ... Being hung up on 3 times in the last 30 minutes is bullsh*t, transfer me to your manager now! God, why can't you guys get this right? ...

or something similar.
Good article, the mention of rural America is interesting though since self driving cars to my knowledge still can't operate in an unmapped dirt road properly or otherwise handle the challenges of going off the beaten path.

I'd like to see one of these self-driving cars tackle a mountain road in a blizzard, just not when I'm on that road ;)
It's not a developer of TrueCrypt but of E4M. At the time TrueCrypt was developed Le Roux was busy with doing crimes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E4M

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Le_Roux

Although TrueCrypt existed since 2004 he ordered his employees around 2007 to use E4M (which would be improbable if he really developed TrueCrypt). The developer (or developers) of TrueCrypt isn't publicly known.
I noticed I got downvoted and now I'm terrible nervous I offended someone. I wish downvoters would comment (I have never downvoted anyone on any forum without a comment). I don't mind disagreement of opinion even if it deserves downvotes but I'm concerned if I offended anyone.

Being a "climate change denier" can mean almost anything today.

Such as that you believe that climate is changing not because of CO2 levels but rather due to other atmospheric gases or pollutants, or the sun's emissions, etc.

Or maybe you believe that the models being used are politically driven (which is a provable fact BTW).

You can still agree that there is a problem, but you just don't agree on the causes 100% or the solutions 100%.

So unless you know the specifics of what this person is not agreeing with you on, it is a meaningless and non-relevant label.
Faggot hasn't had that connotation since around the same time that gay meant happy.
Ecuador shuts down internet access for Assange
My view is you're rarely dealing with individuals, it's company protocol and process you're really interacting with. The individuals you're talking too may or may not sympathize, and the may or may not be able to do anything for you, but it's luck of the draw. I think a lot of companies have decided to set up systems that make sure your issues end up in the ether and it's incredibly infuriating. I've been on both ends of it. When I send an angry email to Verizon because the email they sent me is an obvious attempt at getting me to accidentally overpay my bill, I don't consider the individual on the receiving end, but that's only because, as someone who's been on the receiving end countless times, I've never taken it personally. I usually agree with the end user on some level but know there might not be much I can do. I also understand that companies can't stop the presses for every complaint that comes in, but I think many companies, especially really big ones, bank on many of the things that make their customers angry and would prefer just to ignore them (insurance industry being the worst example of this). Unfortunately, it works like gangbusters. You can be as nice or as mean to any individual at a big company, but you'll most likely give up before anything beneficial for you gets done.
To be fair, most people can't tackle a mountain road in a blizzard. At least if the streets of my hometown after a mild snowstorm are any indication.

I've read this online in one form or another for the better part of 10 years. I've never seen a single actual study to back it up.
ISTM there are problems in that process. Even if there aren't, there could be, and preemptively declaring such out of scope certainly wouldn't help solve those.

One has long suspected the insidious idea that the Founders etc. did such a Good Job that we mustn't criticize any current incarnation of the institutions and traditions they created. One used to hear this silly idea from "strict constructionists", but recently it seems to come mostly from devoted supporters of the status quo.

I'm going to do something like this, but for one specific class of enemies: The dire "it's time to do your best to survive" encounter. Specifically, I'm going to see if I can't use genetic algorithms to evolve "kill the crap out of the player" combat groups. You can't write a fitness function for fun or player involvement. But you can write a fitness function for "kill the crap out of a player" -- even equalized for level. So the trick is to hand-balance the timing/opportunities for a player to encounter the dire situation.

I'm going to let players post-mortem the genetic algorithm tuned AIs and ship/item configurations. So instead of archaeologists, there would be hackers and xenobiologists.
>They could push the courts to issue a declaratory judgement on the issue of leaks, for instance. Or pass a new law making whistleblowing specifically legal and give retroactive immunity. Or investigate the prosecutor for misconduct because of their persecution and unwillingness to advance the investigation. Or allow the courts to try the case remotely. Or they could simply throw the paperwork away, making prosecution impossible. It might not be legal, but you're living under a rock if you think that much of what your government does would be legal in the courts.

None of these suggestions makes any sense.

(i) A declaratory judgment on the issue of leaks, whatever that means, would have no bearing on Assange's arrest warrant for rape.

(ii) Assange is not being charged with whistleblowing; he is being charged with rape.

(iii) "The government" cannot just "investigate" a prosecutor, and there's no evidence of misconduct.

(iv) There would be no point in trying the case remotely as this would make it impossible to punish Assange if he were convicted.

(v) I'd be wary of throwing legal niceties aside. It's only those that are preventing the UK government from entering the embassy and arresting him there.

> And we discover that the mainstream media is actively colluding with her campaign, giving them veto power over stories and quotes, etc.

Seriously, can you provide references to back up some of this? The only thing I've heard about it so far is that in a profile piece, a portion was talked about off the record, and the reporter requested the use of some of the off the record material, and gave them a chance to review what could be used, since it was at their discretion it be used at all. The same reporter explained that there was a portion of his profile of Trump earlier he didn't use because it was off the record as well. The reporter is on record explaining this[1].

If there are other instances, please explain them, otherwise people are going to assume you are referring to this, which I think is pretty well explained. This is the reason people keep asking for sources. Without sources, it's just hearsay.

Windows has had its own antivirus (Security Essentials / Windows Defender) for some time now. Do you have any reason not to trust it, or that it isn't adequate?

Most large antivirus vendors don't fill me with a lot of confidence, and my theory is that at least Microsoft's own solution is going to integrate well and stay out of my face.

>The trust I have had in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, ABC/NBC/CBS, Democratic and Republican parties has been irreparably damaged.

Why would you trust them? You think they would go through all that shit to give you information and work for you for a few pennies or for free? When they could be working for the rich and powerful to become one of them... all while getting your pennies?

Etymology is really interesting. And the meaning of words can change and new meanings can be associated over time. The word computer dates back to the 17th century referring to a person who calculates.[0] I don't think this is the meaning most people intend when using the word computer today.

I'm not condoning the use of hateful language or threats. I just find your example problematic.

I've always thought about the meaning of the Kipling couplet from 'If', 'If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same'. I think Bob Dylan just taught me more about it. Maybe it takes a poet to interpret a poet.
If you want a taste of the linked article:

>At first is was thought that the uncleft was a hard thing that
could be split no further; hence the name. Now we know it is made
up of lesser motes. There is a heavy kernel with a forward
bernstonish lading, and around it one or more light motes with
backward ladings. The least uncleft is that of ordinary
waterstuff. Its kernel is a lone forwardladen mote called a
firstbit. Outside it is a backwardladen mote called a
bernstonebit. The firstbit has a heaviness about 1840-fold that
of the bernstonebit. Early worldken folk thought bernstonebits
swing around the kernel like the earth around the sun, but now we
understand they are more like waves or clouds.

>In all other unclefts are found other motes as well, about as
heavy as the firstbit but with no lading, known as neitherbits.
We know a kind of waterstuff with one neitherbit in the kernel
along with the firstbit; another kind has two neitherbits. Both
kinds are seldom.

>The next greatest firststuff is sunstuff, which has two firstbits
and two bernstonebits. The everyday sort also has two neitherbits
in the kernel. If there are more or less, the uncleft will soon
break asunder. More about this later.

It takes some effort but it is understandable.
See, that is the whole reason I vote for him. I cannot abide the thought of a liberal who has a hard-on for suppressing the 2nd Amendment and other integral parts of the Bill of Rights appointing at least two supreme court judges (RBD is in her 80s). I could hope that the GOP holds enough of a majority to block those appointments until the tide changes, as they have this year, but that is possibly akin to playing Russian roulette.

Regarding (a) and (b) in firsr para, it's actually same mistake I made that a SUSE employee corrected. You can sell GPL software for whatever you want to charge:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html

You can do that without a copyleft for BSD types to keep your proprietary extensions secret & harder to copy. Doing it for either is a good way to make profit or just raise development funds.

Regarding percentages, I think that's an interesting idea but worry about scale. Systems nowdays are getting big and full of components. More complex, but useful, software might get less market share due to penalty of high price. Maybe institute a cap for upper limit of a single component's license. Might be specific to the component or in general. Personally, Im leaning towards simple, annual licenses integrator pays per component. Might get each free for a year per startup so they can make some money. Crowdfunding, nonprofits, or corporate sponsors could help larger ones get started.
This is needlessly pedantic. As you implied we can't "store" any type of energy, electric or otherwise, but this is commonly accepted terminology for creating and exploiting an energy potential. I can't "store" mp3s on my iPod either, but no one is confused or deceived by the terminology.

My point about chess is that the benefits and tradeoffs of a particular move are not always immediately quantifiable. I think too many computer games have this habit of presenting a whole bunch of quantitative information to the player and then letting them go nuts with comparisons. In a lot of these cases, it comes down to the player deciding "I prefer to maximize armor at the cost of cold resistance because none of the enemies in this area use cold attacks" and then all equipment choices are no longer meaningful, they're merely a continuation of that original choice which in itself was fairly obvious once the player had access to the data.

With chess, on the other hand, the choice of 1. d4 vs 1. e4 is a huge one with TONS of implications, none of which are immediately obvious at a glance, but which are so rich and diverse that you have players literally identifying themselves as "d4 players" or "e4 players".

I hate to keep leaning on chess examples but they're the easiest since almost everybody knows about chess. I'd have slipped in a Battle Line example but almost nobody knows about that!

I've generally relied on Defender and "common sense", I just have a PC or two that tend to be focused on gaming, and I'm a little more conscious of how much poorly vetted software I run on them (things like game modifications running native code). Especially after a scare a year or so back with a game modification that had been infected with a key logger. I wouldn't really think to inspect something like that closely (and it had a large userbase, so even if I had searched around I probably would have figured it was safe)
