> past an age a fellow just wants to learn a single reliable stack and collect a weekly paycheck

That's a bit too strong. Surely there are people like that. But I'm "past an age" and there's always some newish thing I'm learning. However, I'm in no rush to start adopting them for real projects. I want to know the payback from switching, and neither hype nor the word "modern" cut it. I want to know what this language is good for and what it's not so good for. So I learn things and evaluate them, and over time I add things to my working set of languages and tools.
Actually, there is, because indexing elements in arrays is a fairly common operation and when I use a US layout, it's so much easier. In fact, a lot of the contortions we have on EU keyboards are a pain to go back to once you've gotten used to a US layout, because there are decades of lore and history around US-layout TTYs that influenced programming language designs.
I map it to delete, it's funny to see people try to use my keyboard, hahaha

Honestly. Can't really think of when I use escape to give a real answer. I think I could hit it without looking, but I don't think I hit escape that often. Or maybe I use it all the time and won't notice until it's gone.

But yeah. If ^[ or caps lock mapping is not an option, and your workflow requires a lot of escape presses, it could be annoying to have to look down to hit it.

You're a fucking idiot and I'm clearly wasting my time.
I wish this was even more "from first principles." I wish the "harmony" section would point out that the "simple ratios" they initially show both have powers of two in their denominators, and thus are just octave adjustments of the harmonic series. I wish the "chords" section would derive the major triad as the fundamental frequency combined with the first two (non-octave) frequencies in the harmonic series octave-adjusted down to be close to the fundamental.
"I hated the "touch-strip" function keys, both because they have no boundaries between keys and because they have no tactile feedback when pressing."

I don't know about the boundary between keys thing, but for tactile feedback: Force Touch?

"The "context bar" seems like a huge win for people who look at the keyboard (who do comprise a huge fraction of the market), and a huge loss for touch-typists."

I don't think so. I touch-type, but I hardly ever touch-type the function bar. Doubly so on a Mac, because the function bar is, by default, used for brightness and media controls.
I want it. Why have travel I don't need slowing down my typing?
I like this! I've always wanted to build a music theory textbook (like Laitz) where the examples could be played.

> When a song says that it is in the key of C Major, or D Minor, or A Harmonic, etc. this is simply telling you which of the 12 notes are used in this song.

Small nitpick, this is not accurate, C Major and A (natural) Minor have the same notes but different starting notes so they are different scales, and pieces written in them sound different from each other. It's one of those things that's slightly hard to explain if you don't sing/compose/play an instrument/read music but very obvious if you do.

i'm not sure i follow your logic. how does a poor data connection affect js execution?

if you have to do additional template fetching via follow-up async requests, sure. but if you serve the js & js-parsed/executed template in the initial request, then the only difference would be a synchronous reflow/paint for js (white page flash) vs streamed/incremental reflow/repaint.
Thanks. Yeah, the experience on mobile devices too is admittedly pretty poor right now. I wasn't ready yet for the traffic but I'll get this fixed.

Ask HN: If (procrastinating) then read else next in HN
A lot of people including myself suffer from procrastination. So I saw this https://liquidti.me today and I was thinking that is nicely designed and all that, and it might work for some but I know it won't work for me. I really, really know that because I know how my brain works. Well sort of. But let me talk about something that I finally noticed in myself in recent months. I always loved learning and getting courses on Udemy, Coursera, you name it. It's so much fun if you can work on something that has structure and someone else is pushing you to focus on. So even though I often procrastinate, I found myself always committing 100% of my time and effort on courses and learning material. That could be me but made me think that maybe other people work like that too. I really enjoy the process and can't wait to build the projects or complete the assignments. I just manage to go through the courses and don't see them as side projects.

To cut a long story short I had this idea that maybe if we had our projects broken down by someone else and developed a detailed roadmap almost like a course it would potentially be easier for us to just get busy doing rather than busy procrastinating. A simple example would be to develop a chat bot. There was a very detailed article just yesterday on that which covered every single step necessary to build your own. One would only have to follow this blog post and then add on it the service it offers to have a successful bot. What if we took this approach a bit further and created a course around it with finer steps, timelines, achievements, etc. What if we had categories of different projects where we go and look for something that is similar to what we want to do? Even if we can achieve 70%, 60% of our side project build by following something else its still a lot better than 0% or my usual 20%.

Some initial thoughts here so don't bash.

There was another older service called HomeGrocer that was doing quite well... until WebVan bought them out and converted them to WebVan tech.

From Wikipedia:

> In September 2000, stockholders approved a $1.2B all stock buyout by the cash-rich competitor Webvan of the much larger HomeGrocer.com. HomeGrocer was rebranded to Webvan, the management team fired and the technology and processes converted to Webvan. The Webvan technology did not work very well and their execution was poor. Most telling, the eight different HomeGrocer facilities converted to Webvan saw overnight sales declines of one-third, then over 50% within two weeks and never recovered. Formerly profitable HomeGrocer facilities quickly ended up with significant losses. Studies of what happened after the merger were not kind to the original Webvan management who spent over $500M before going bankrupt less than a year later.

And I second the issue with clicking Done - I wanted to set up a work week, and clicked Monday's time slot, started typing (keystrokes didn't go anywhere), clicked the hour time entry, then could enter 8 hours. Repeated for each work day, then clicked Done for Friday, and saw that it lost all the other day entries, and I had to go back through the process of setting up times on M-Th...

Then decided I'd come look at this another time.

I was heavily motivated to transition from VB.NET to C# to the point where I had an offer at a C# shop. Ultimately, I convinced my department head to allow us to use C# and stayed. I don't think I would make a move exclusively for the technology anymore, but earlier in my career, I certainly did.
Funny.

I was just earlier toying with the idea of getting the iPad Pro as my second monitor. I just started using duet with my regular iPad, and was surprised both at how well it works for display and its touch screen!

> I don't know about the boundary between keys thing, but for tactile feedback: Force Touch?

I've (briefly) used a device with Force Touch. It doesn't come anywhere close to replacing the depress-and-release of a physical key. It's better than nothing, barely. But I don't want to use a tablet with an on-screen keyboard as my primary productivity device; I want to use a laptop with a physical keyboard.

> I don't think so. I touch-type, but I hardly ever touch-type the function bar. Doubly so on a Mac, because the function bar is, by default, used for brightness and media controls.

That seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I also know many Mac users who don't know why anyone would need a right mouse button, let alone a middle mouse button. If you design your interface to not need it, and you know people will never run third-party applications that do, then sure.

I'd be surprised if the majority of touch-typists on Windows don't have muscle-memory for Alt-F4, at a minimum.

> They are also really far from home row on some keyboards

Fair enough; helps that I exclusively use and prefer laptop keyboards, to the point of having a USB ThinkPad keyboard/mouse combo on my desk.
Actually, the Apple hardware and specs are usually better than you can get in a comparable Windows laptop for the same price.

The Windows machines are cheaper right now only because Apple has gone two and a half years without updating the Macbooks Pro without lowering the prices. Apple does awful things like that sometimes so you have to be careful about what you buy, but you have to be careful with Dell and HP and Lenovo also, so that's not really different.

But try finding an equivalent 3lb, silent, big glass reliable touchpad, extra long battery life, solid reliable build, color corrected retina screen laptop with similar specs to the new Macs next week and you'll find Apple has the best prices in the market as usual.

American civil war feels quite possible at the moment. Even passing a budget is becoming a gargantuan governmental task subject to polarization and media trench warfare.
It's very fashionable to suggest that social media is polarising.

It's very fashionable, because it has produced jaw-dropping public idiocy with unprecedented immediacy on a huge scale. It has given a voice to the loudest idiots, along with the power of the mob. It has unprecedented power to give people license to denigrate other people and anger them, including people they know or are related to. This only figures, as its viral power comes from precisely that effect. (That effect on our affect, no less.)

Maybe it's just like the stylized mock battles carried out by rival little towns in Tuscany dating from the middle ages and renaissance. Maybe it will just amount to blowing off steam and "local color" in the long view of history. I sure hope that undergrads screaming that Yale is not a place of learning is not a harbinger of the future.

A current generation processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD would be sufficient for me. The current form factor is great. If you want to reduce the bezel and therefore the size of the laptop, that would be fine, too. All else is distraction.

What is the difference between a currency and a commodity? If the rate of appreciation is perceived as high enough, and the exchange rate into goods and services is high enough, anyone will have a tendency to hoard a currency - why wouldn't you?

It would be simple to create an alt-coin that degrades in value over time, thus encouraging circulation and not hoarding (though how you would battle fake-circulation through shill transactions is up for debate), but no one wants to buy into such a thing.

I happen to think the conflation of money/debt/interest with the corresponding need for continual economic growth is one of the great tragedies of our age, but I'm not entirely sure how to get out of it.
The point of a js web app is that you can run it in a web browser. Hammers and nails are even older than server side rendering, yet somehow they still function perfectly.
I bought a macbook last week and ended up having to return it over that butterfly keyboard. Usually with a new laptop, I can adjust after a couple of days, but this one killed my hands.

I worry that Apple are now pursuing thinness for thinness' sake, past the point where it makes ergonomic sense. The machine was gorgeous, but felt like a child's laptop. It's the first Apple computer I've ever returned.
I’ve been wondering about this for a long time, too. They could cram a 14" screen into a 13" casing. So much wasted screen space.

The only theory I could come up with: They do not want reduce bezel size because this potentially closes the door for making the laptop lid thinner. As we all know by now, thinness has top priority at Apple. A super thin lid means there cannot be support structure and connectors behind the screen, they must be placed around it. But you cannot place it around it if there is no bezel to hide it beneath.

If the Apple MacBook hardware guys read this: I’d rather have the current laptop lid thickness and no bezels than a paper thin lid with the current large ugly bezels.

For the most part, I completely agree with you. I'm supportive of drugs being legalized and sold - even the drugs I wouldn't personally do. I do think your first two points are slightly flawed, however.

1. Instant 50% reduction in prison population. More than half of all prisoners are there for drug crimes [1]. It costs 20-40k/year to house a prisoner [2]. There are approximately 2.2 million prisoners the US [3]. That equates to an instantaneous savings of $6.6 billion.

It will cut new admittance to prisons. Anyone currently serving time would need their sentences pardoned or legislation passed that allows for their released. Over time, still savings.

2. Elimination of the DEA. Instantaneous savings of $2 billion.

We'll still need some enforcement of the controls we put in place, though we can do it through other branches -likely something like a combination of the FDA, USDA, and the ATF. Lesser cost savings, but much better sort of spending.

Furthermore, I'm definitely into having marked shops for some drugs. I think smoke shops/coffee shops (for pot and hash) would be an improvement to the culture and give some alternative to bars. I'm fine with some hallucinogens being sold in a marked shop - and anything else that proves to be about as safe. I'd also make sure anyone working in the shops - either marked or unmarked - had some training or have training levels - basic knowledge for cashier with more advanced knowledge person on premisis at all times.

I hardly ever use an IDE but Apple Pages allows you to assign each function key to a distinct style. For example F1 is document heading, F2 section heading, F3 subsection heading, F4 body, F5 blockquote etc. I have a document template with this mapping set and it's my default template in Pages. After using this setup for a few months I found that I can indeed touch type the function keys and it's extremely convenient. I imagine many office workers in the Apple universe (i.e. not MS office or google docs) would feel the same.
