Have you considered trying a keyboard with more thumb keys, and using a thumb for shift?

(Or if you’re stuck on a standard keyboard, I recommend you try to use the opposite-hand shift key.)
Try the same thing in gvim, and in another terminal (like OSX's Terminal.app).

> The fact is that many of the innovations we come to appreciate Apple for come from their ownership of both the hardware and the software.

Since they switched to Intel, what are these innovations that I cannot just buy? I see the new Touch Bar, but even that I can skip[1]. I really wonder what would be different?

I doubt they will ever go back, but Apple sure isn't doing a whole lot to satisfy my desktop love. What exactly on the Mac mini and Mac Pro cannot be bought by a third party?

1) The whole idea of something that make me move my eyes to the keyboard is unwelcome.
Monitoring the status of external API calls isn't easy with traditional code-embedded agents. This is a new approach to do so without any code instrumentation.
I don't think Austin is considered cheap except compared to new York and SF
I'm aware of what the OP was referring to. I was replying to barrkel's comment about not realising the links were links.

But I absolutely agree with you that visited links looking like unfollowed links is a usability issue.
Ironically those are the developers that contribute to make the GNU/Linux desktop irrelevant, as most are happy to have a second class experience instead of enjoying what native applications are able to offer in terms of UX.

The web might run on BSD sockets, but that doesn't have any meaning on the rendering side.

Any OS able to run a browser will do.

Fully agreed.

If you're talking about page margins, the `geometry` package makes that easy.

Luckily, sometimes you get into scenarios where somebody has done the hard part for you. For example when writing journal articles, some journals have document classes published that you just have to use, and not do anything special in the body.
I didn't need to understand everything about asyncio to use it successfully. It's definitely a lifesaver when it comes to making lots of requests; hours of waiting turn into seconds.
I'm not an "advocate of communism". And it's nonsense to say that capitalist farmers produce enough to feed themselves as a response to my point about internal isolation. No capitalist farmer with the same amount of resources and wealth as a kibbutz would be all that productive without utilizing the benefits of the rest of our complex market economy and what that provides to them. In other words, it's the larger context that is the factor, not the internal structure of the farm. The kibbutzen were only communist in an internal way, not living in a communist world.

"having all their property expropriated and being forced to work on collectives" is also not a principle of communism. Forced labor is not a communist value.
Well, this is sacrilege, added to the 'ESC' key blasphemy. MBPs could be banned in Ireland, they consider blasphemy the first class crime.
You might consider either Autohotkey for Windows, or Keyboard Maestro for Macs (or something similar for Linux, I'm sure). You can rebind keys, including shift and control/command, to whatever or wherever you want.

I did it to get control on the caps-lock key, but never conditioned myself to use it.
What old non-native version? I think you've mis-read this.

They appear to be moving to an open-core model and expanding feature sets beyond what was allowed within the restrictions of Apple's App Store sandboxing, to better compete with VMware Fusion and Parallels for paid users.
One of them must have worked for me because I haven't heard it in years. So long ago I can't remember what I did!
Correct. I was referring to POE scenarios.
I don't find it hard to write asyncio code but I find it hard to generically interface with other people's asyncio code and that is lacking basic support like a context object or logical call contexts or just the lack of agreed upon usage patterns.

It does not help that asyncio evolves in the stdlib and changes with every major Python version. It might be less of an issue if this was pip installable I suppose. Right now writing utility code for asyncio is targeting many things.
CO2? The energy content of the fuel is roughly the same and the are both made of hydrocarbon chains with similar proportions of carbon and hydrogen. The principal difference being that petrol is shorter chains C8.. C11 and diesel is C13..C18. So how does using diesel reduce the emission of CO2? I understand that diesels are generally a little more efficient than petrol engines but that doesn't seem to be enough to claim any serious reduction on CO2 emissions.
Avoid “Culture Fit” If You Want Innovation
Slackware was the first Linux distro I ever installed on my own machine (I think that was the case for most of us at that time).

I can remember very well trying to scrounge up enough floppies to write out the "A" and "N" sets -- the minimum needed to have a functional system with working "networking" (in my case, dial-up).

After struggling for days to get a working "chat script", I finally managed to get online.

I don't miss it but, in a way, it was sort of a "rite of passage" and you were forced to learn how your system really worked.
Found a good overview of currently available monitors:

So for those of us not in the inside loop, what does "pulling out into its own frontend" mean?

Also, are the Xt and motif versions still maintained? Surely the user base of those must be pretty close to 0 these days?
How do I install this version? (On a mac, preferably using homebrew)
Yeah, but what sort of battery life are they getting? It's not that you can't have more RAM with those processors, it's that you can't have more energy efficient mobile RAM.
I think one of the best features of sharelatex is that you skip the insanely bloated installation/package maintenance process. Some of those packages use GB of fonts and I remember having a complete installation with over 30GB of fonts. Not really an issue anymore, but 5-10 years ago, that was pretty excessive.
It's pretty damn fluid with real GPU passed through, literally no difference compared to running on bare metal.

If you're not passing a real GPU then you're doing it wrong and shouldn't expect much anyway.
As a follow on, one could ask the question: what where the circumstances that led to China being unified and Europe not.

Something to do with culture? Something to do with population levels? Something to do with the crops being grown?
I find it odd that people actually shut down their Apple laptops. Apple's sleep/wake (on real Apple hardware) has never let me down. When I'm done with the laptop, I just close the lid. Of course, I require a password on wake.

I'm curious if I'm in the minority on this?

Ah. Just open the libc manual with "info libc", then "i" to look something up in the index, and type "struct timespec". (You can even tab-complete the name of the struct).

>And it doesn't help that the default GNU info viewer is on one hand unusable for someone who isn't already an Emacs user

Yes, well, did you consider running "info info"? :) There's a tutorial accessible with "h". It's not as if there's much to learn, the arrow keys and Enter work fine for navigating and following links.
Stood out for me:

"The left-leaning parties — the Left-Greens, the Pirates and two allies — won 27 seats, just short of the 32 required to command a majority in Iceland’s Parliament, the world’s oldest."

and

"About 40 percent of Pirate supporters are under the age of 30. They had pinned their hopes on a party that has promised to install a more inclusive and transparent government."

and

"The Pirates have pledged to enhance direct democracy by passing the world’s first “crowd-sourced constitution,” drafted by Icelandic civilians rather than politicians. Parliament blocked the document in 2013."

You can configure the terminal emulator to emit a specific sequence for hyper/super, then configure Emacs to convert it back using local-function-key-map: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/79374/are-there-any-....

Out of the box, Konsole+Emacs do this with super.
It's worth noting that there's a difference between reference documentation and tutorials. The world needs both, of course. The user manual on Unices and Linux operating systems is meant to be reference doco.

In the BSD world, in addition to the user manuals there are the various handbooks and guides:

* https://freebsd.org/doc/handbook/

* https://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/

* https://www.trueos.org/handbook/trueos.html

* http://dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/

The Linux world has the Linux Documentation Project, but that is of variable quality, has patchy coverage, and is wildly outdated in some areas.

There's a collaborative project on Wikibooks, as well.

Why the Aviation Industry Needs to Hurry Up with IoT Implementation
I've always wondered the opposite: why don't major browsers implement (La)TeX formulas, given they are a de facto standard? I mean something like MathJax, but available with JavaScript disabled. Don't trigger it with $, but maybe with something more odd, like $@ ... @$, or similar.
I ain't an expert in x86 so I'm not sure... only read some of Intel's manual but judging by the code at

https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public

file "entryother.S" is asm that executes on AP's and "bootasm.S" executes on the BSP... both after the BIOS

so... maybe?

maybe that's what your looking for?
Firstly: RSI is no joke - if you're experiencing pain, there's a non-zero chance it'll develop into a serious medical condition. (At MIT's Media Lab, someone's RSI got so bad he couldn't type at all and had to invent an interface using vocal phonemes to encode common OS actions/lexical keywords to control his OS (OS X) / editor (emacs) / language of choice (python)).

If you feel even the slightest bit of pain, that's your body signalling to you 'hey buddy, don't do this'. I was suffering from emacs pinky to the point where my hands were aching hours after leaving my desk. On weekends, my tennis racket grip was significantly weaker and form poorer. Mapping Ctrl to caps, right shift to Esc, and buying a $30 MS Ergonomic keyboard solved my issues. My friends who have had worse issues spent the $300 on a Kinesis (which I had up until then considered to be snake oil) but it seems to have solved their issues entirely (and for $300 it's definitely a cheap investment compared to the opportunity cost of the time invested in physical therapy).

If you're on Linux, you can at the os-level make modal changes. I made the right-alt key move into a different mode, so I effectively get an entirely separate key-mapping when that key is depressed. (E.g., hjkl for me is OS-wide, and sdfg lets me move the cursor. nb. Were I to make this decision again, I'd use Caps as my primary modifier, [ as my secondary, effectively giving me four full keyboard maps. Probably overkill but if I were using something like SolidWorks or Illustrator where having both keyboard and mouse access available often, I'd be experimenting with a setup like that -- keeping my right hand always on the mouse, and left for keyboard shortcuts -- biasing all of the shortcut keys to the left-hand region of the keyboard.)

ErgoDox implements a similar system but on the micro-controller level so you don't even have to putz with modifiers and it's cross OS. I don't have one but I would have bought one if I used a desktop more often, simply due to the trackball-feature (effectively letting one use a mouse without leaving the home-row -- a 'must-have' for me).
I would need to search for it.

Around 10 years ago is when I moved back into Windows on my main computer, so eventually I settled on using whatever Emacs version is installed, if any, when accessing GNU/Linux environments.

Another aspect was I think only XEmacs had nice menus and toolbar, until eventually Emacs added them.
This is the sort of thing that I'd prefer for a second generation so I could get one with all the kinks ironed out.

Also for all those folks saying they don't look at their keyboards while typing: I don't either, except for when I have a particular key stroke committed to muscle memory, which is to say for all new applications that I would like to begin using.

Having something like this would substantially lower the barrier to entry for all keyboard centric apps. So to me it's worth it, even if I know going in that I wouldn't always look at the changing keycaps when I used them.

All that said, I gotta admit that now that I know Apple's Touch Bar is a thing, I would very, very much like to see it, or something like it, stuck on this keyboard.
The point is that you should argue why you find "dictatorship of the proletariat" unethical and not confuse the difference between ethics and economic viability.

There's definitely philosophical problems with communism and communist thinkers of various sorts. No denying that. But the screwed up crappy attempts at something like communism simply don't invalidate all of the principles which must be considered separately.

Basically, if you run a shitty version of an experiment, you don't get to then claim you proved the null hypothesis. It's one thing to say "we can't afford to experiment" and another to say "we had [shitty] experiments and so now we can conclude things."

You could argue for no more trials and still accept the fact that we never got any good trials from which to conclude enough about the real principles.
What would you suggest as an alternative? I think in any market, copying is a thing...
Sounds like a post by Richard Stallman. I understand the argument but there is an element of practicality involved here, is there anyone out there who buys absolutely nothing from corporation? Very few I would think unless you own your own farm and never leave it.
That platform was created by a Canadian company called KnowRoaming, it's marketed as a "SoftSIM" but it is indeed a fully virtualized multi SIM/IMSI solution for global roaming.

To support the transition for paid users, this is probably a free release as they work out payment methods, etc. They're moving to an open-core pricing model, which probably matches their previous strategy.

They've always been unclear when it comes to payment and features. Previous to this they had Business and Pro editions in the App Store and Pro was sold as an in-app purchase to a free version while Business was sold outright. Both cost the same and it was hard to compare the two...

If they want to sell the product later, you can bet they'll have clear Buy buttons.

I'm sorry but I find this to be a weird assertion when you see how much more detailed Windows 10's Task Manager is, or the fact that you can have a Linux subsystem running on Windows since the summer. What makes you think that MS doesn't care about the power user when all signs point to the contrary?
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a language FOR beginners. But it is easier to understand some concepts in python than staring at god awful C or Perl or most other languages as a totally new person to programming.
Kierkegaard has occasional witty, funny, or insightful passages in his books. But overall I found him to be really incoherent, and to ramble way too much in super long digressions about subjects that seem to have little to do with the theme he's trying to write about. So his writing winds up being all over the place and chaotic, making it hard to figure out what the bleep he's trying to say. It's really frustrating, and it seems that mostly he's not saying much, but just rambling.
I don't know if you would count this as innovations, but magsafe, the glass trackpad still ahead of anything else and the full unibody enclosure in my mind are clear innovations that made a mac a much better alternative than the competition. I also think they were only possible because people are willing to pay a little more to get macOS, thus allowing Apple a higher price point to develop and include those features.
I speak (and type in) two languages that have different layouts. While I touch-type most of the time, I still need to look for some things occasionally. Eventually I simply got custom printed keycaps from WASD where one language has symbols in upper right, the other in upper left.
> Developing a mastery for how to succeed takes time and experience, but it can happen.

Yes, this exactly. If the features of a game are too complicated to implement in the existing game's code base, that's a design problem, not an engineering problem.
That's not available outside the US, or is it?
Twisted ROCKED. I remember when it came out everyone I knew thought it was pretty kick ass, at least those who developed in Python.

Did something happen that it's now fallen out of favor?
No it's not just you. It's especially frustrating for those with some html background where an easy (but frowned upon?) hack is to just put everything in nested tables.
Overleaf.com is really nice too, if you work with others (e.g. on academic papers). The most painless papers I've ever written were with other competent people using LaTeX and overleaf. ShareLatex is good too, I'm not sure if you can autosubmit to journals and preprint servers with it though. That last feature is terrific for academics -- it's how publishing should work, but usually doesn't.

I spent the same amount of time (72 hours) getting one hairy equation laid out in Word that I spent compiling my entire dissertation in LaTeX. Naturally the former was a request from my adviser, who did the latter back when she was a student. Dammit.

If you have any serious math in your writing, nothing else comes close. (Protip: Mathematica, the only non-free software package that ever earned its keep for me, will directly export equation cells as LaTeX if you ask nicely. I can't stand doing tedious symbolic manipulation without it.)
I suppose you could put a heading called 'Myths' above the list of myths. But I don't see how that would help the user realise they are links.

Of course, you could call the heading 'Links', but that shouldn't be necessary -- the links themselves should afford clicking. It would be like putting a label called "push" above a door handle when the handle itself should afford pushing.
I like the idea, but I don't like chiclet-style keys, I prefer the action on other key types. Hopefully there's room for some variety.
Languages, app hot keys, emoji, game controls, custom performance options for laptop DJs, musicians, VJs, etc...

Many applications.

This looks really interesting. Yes/no depends on key feel.

I wasn't convinced by the Apple chiclet keyboard when I saw it, but I've lived with one for a year and a half now, and I'm completely comfortable with it.

If this has a similar feel I'll be seriously tempted.
Thanks. That's actually not a bad way of delimiting course/resource.

Don't minimum wage people purchase slot of fast food? Wouldn't a minimum wage hike lead to increased sales to offset the hike?

I repair alot of I. T. At many major chains so I visit them regulary. They seem pretty efficient and an extra $20 an hour of labor costs doesn't seem like a game changer. Especially if it reduces turn over or improves employee moral. Would definitely hurt something like a stake n shake.. 24/7 operation and tons of kids.
Simplicity is a core value of the Python community; this kind of change goes through a long discussion before getting implemented, so I wonder how we ended up with such convoluted design (the reasoning is documented in the PEP system but most of it is beyond my wizardry level).

Perhaps this is me showing some cultural bias (I'm Brazilian), but in my social context it is considered rude to make this kind of criticism in public unless you tried your best to address the problem in a more restricted exchange. The more authority you have, more you are expected to come with a better proposal instead of just pointing out the mess.
The concept of SIM cards will slowly fade over time as M2M/IOT devices start to emerge as consumer oriented products, devices will become more oriented around "SoftSIMs" and other embedded or virtual SIM products. The ability for IOT products to move across multiple networks will become a big aspect of the IOT, you need full redundancy and reliability when your product can never be offline.

Why would I want a SIM card with one IMSI on it when I can have a SIM card with up to 20 IMSIs from various networks all around the world, or even better the ability to constantly swap and trade IMSIs from various networks, new connectivity set everyday. A global community calls for global connectivity.
Raw multi-threading was always a "blowing your feet of" feature in almost any way imaginable. That's true for Python as well and not only for use together with asyncio (but in this context even more so, I agree).

No one should write production MT code based on pthread-esque abstractions in any language without knowing very very well what they're doing.

I'm seeing this sentiment repeated quite a bit, and I'm surprised because it's almost a pre-literate view of things.

Whenever something changes with regards to human life, there is a brief window for content generators to capture increased attention by writing a timely article.

Content creators get more attention (which directly translates into revenue) if the content is contentious, or can be forced into 'explaining' a larger trend.

Understanding this is basic Internet literacy. "Many people" are not unhappy- that is just the content machine striving to grab your attention.
