The problem was that they used Ctrl + Alt for shortcuts, which is something you simply not do on Windows. Ctrl + Alt is the same as AltGr and there are keyboards without a right Alt key. AltGr + X looks like Ctrl + Alt + X, because that's what some people have to press. They are meant to be the same thing.

Chrome merely happened to implement that part of the UI Events spec (it's still a draft) which lets you differentiate between Ctrl + Alt and AltGr.

The Atom team simply could have changed their default shortcuts 2.5 years ago. Those shortcuts were the actual bug.

Precisely as I said, "The only major benefits over, say, C++ or Java (which I don't think are very impressive languages) are a few convenient threading primitives"

99% of projects don't need green threads. But for those that do, I'd much rather use a language better suited to the purpose, like Haskell or Erlang. This isn't a very convincing argument for Go.
Taking a trip to a tourist destination such as Memphis or Nashville would be a good opportunity. Spending a day in the Central Valley or even Gilroy would be a start; interacting with people in real life helps you to understand their point-of-view better.

I vehemently disagree with the suggestion of following accounts outside your bubble on Twitter; most people are snarky and mean. It would most likely alienate you from them and never actually discover their point of view.

Btw, I dig your humility.

We'll just get rid of that regulation.
Yes, that's correct. This does not mean that the energy levels of light (more generally, EM radiation) are quantized -- photons can have any energy level. What it means is that, for light of a given frequency, you can deposit energy only in units of h(nu).

The quantization of light shows up in how it interacts with particles -- even unbound particles like free electrons, which also do not have quantized energy levels. Specifically, if light were NOT quantized, you could get the same effect with more intense light that you get with more energetic light. Instead, experiments show again and again that longer-wavelength light at high intensity gives a totally different effect from short-wavelength light at low intensity. Postulating that light consists of particles (photons) with E = h(nu) explains this difference.

... reading sexp's is technically parsing but it is so far removed from something like a C parser that it's really not the same animal. I mean, you can write a function to build a list from a sexp in a few minutes, while even a basic hand-written C parser will take days/weeks/months depending on your familiarity.

So, that's a reason why it is said. (edit: also, if the course implements scheme IN scheme, then you don't need a parser because the host scheme can do it for you.)

Honestly, unless you need some special library or your team is already familiar with those languages, I would pretty much always recommend Go over those languages. Everything is just simpler, and it's at least as fast as any of those languages.
As a Python user and fan I hear this complaint a lot. I understand but I can't really agree since things like typos and type fails pretty much never happen to me, at least in production. My secret? I use the REPL, heavily. (And not even in the grand Lisp fashion, because Python's REPL isn't very advanced, mostly I use it just off to the side and maybe or maybe not running an instance of the full program, or parts of it.) Using the REPL catches most of those things just as quickly as a compiler, plus it can catch things compilers don't, such as null pointer exceptions.

Two lesser secrets are using a linter, which catches all sorts of issues too, and second actually getting the full program locally to a state where I can have it execute (most of) the new code I just wrote that I didn't verify in the REPL, or using data sources I didn't just define temporarily in the REPL, so I can make sure it seems to do what I intended. A lot of devs don't seem to do the second bit... Checked in code for Java compiles and passes existing tests and went through a basic code review but inevitably bugs get filed because it doesn't actually do everything the story said, it's like they didn't even try out their own code, it just looked correct and the compiler/tests agreed.

I think when you're working with the REPL interactively instead of relying on the common "edit -> save -> compile -> ship it|start over" cycle you don't miss those details as much, because you're constantly trying out your own code. Maybe my experience is because I don't typically use dynamic languages as scripting languages, at least in the sense of quickly hacking up a script, saving, getting to skip the compile step (look how much faster it is to develop in dynamic languages!!!), and running it until it works. I have done that, but even then, I'm usually writing the bulk of the script in the REPL -- or rather in my editor that can send text to the REPL. It's quite different from what seems to be the thing that made these languages popular to begin with, which is not having to explicitly type everything and getting to skip a (potentially long) compile step (which also encourages more source sharing).

So should journalists simply never agree to have conversations off the record?

I think there are big problems with the way access and coverage are mixed up together and traded on, but I'm pretty comfortable with a journalist agreeing not to publish remarks made during a conversation and then later asking to publish some of them.
Unfortunately, stepping out of my bubble on Twitter would involved reading racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic invectives. I know we're entering the "post-PC" / "PC-backlash" era but that doesn't mean I ought to spend my precious attention on people whose opinions are not worth considering.

But, then again, I've never really been on the Twitter train anyway.

I switched to VS Code last week after using Atom almost since it was released (probably 0.70.0 or so) and I immediately decided I wasn't going to switch back. It's just so much smoother, and the debugger (+ requisite extension for PHP) is really nice. Based on some of the comments here I might try Atom again at 1.13 (I tried VS Code back when it was new as well), but for now I reckon VS Code is miles ahead.

The downvotes (not by me, BTW) are for using emotive language that criticizes by implication without advancing an actual argument.

Consider this description of veterinary euthanasia: "I guess that legalizing poisoning pets was a natural outcome of allowing vets to buy poisons." If you used that language I think that most people would infer that you strongly object to veterinary euthanasia, but you haven't made an argument why it should be illegal to hasten the end.

I completely agree on twitter. It's facebook, mbp, and trump that I don't get. Amazingly, in roughly that order.
Speaking as someone who suffered through four years of having a "Crack Mayor" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Ford), you're underestimating the damage a person like this can cause. He's someone who lived a life so ridiculous that the movie Tommy Boy is the closest anyone can get to explaining it. The parallels are surreal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUY6lDja-DE

Rob Ford would declare things as done long before votes had even been called, he would bully people into voting his way, and then he'd declare victory. Anyone who opposed him would be ground down, harassed, and if he couldn't fire them he'd persecute them until they got out of his way or they were no longer a threat.

Rob Ford didn't care what the rules were. He didn't care about decorum or tradition. He didn't care if what he said was unworkable, or if he lied, or if he offended people. He just did whatever came to mind, without question, without checking if he had the authority to.

Rob Ford was born into privilege, inherited an ownership position in a company worth millions of dollars, and has never had to work a day in his life. He was famous for showing up to work at 2pm and leaving by 4. He had the audacity to brag he'd never missed a day of work on a day he was missing work because he was in drug rehab.

Trump will do whatever he wants and there's not going to be anyone there to stop him. This is a man who's never been held to account for any of his actions. He has no concept of morality, nothing to keep him centered.

If anyone opposes him, he'll have them fired, blackballed, or tormented until they quit either in disgust or humiliation. He'll make George W. Bush look like a wimp, a man of half-measures, of someone who had too much empathy for his opponents.

If he's anything like Rob Ford, which Daniel Dale (https://twitter.com/ddale8), who covered Rob Ford in depth during his tenure will surely attest, we're looking at multiple scandals per day.

It got so bad near the end of Rob Ford's term that he'd give a press conference in the morning and have to apologize in another press conference in the afternoon and even then would almost fuck that up so badly he'd have to give another apology.

This shit is real and it's ugly.
Gucci, Prada, Moncler at least. This kind of stuff was covered by the national TV for a while but no one seems to care anymore.

"Sold to Gucci for €24 euros each (around $28.09) despite a retail rate of $1000, Aroldo Guidotti of the subcontractor, leather goods specialist Mondo Libero, was filmed discussing the cost saving strategy of replacing Italian workers with Chinese nationals, who are hired as part-time employees, and yet work more hours than those on a full-time contract."
Did he actually call them rednecks? Do you have a link to that? That sounds like an unprofessional thing for a journalist to say. Level of education is a straightforward fact in the makeup of Trump's voters, and that his views are racist is demonstrable. But if Brokaw really used a slur, he shouldn't have.
Without reservation yes. I have been in a state of shock for months now. The frustration of the reality is what makes it bubble over into visible outpourings.

My assumption wasn't that because no one I interacted with on social media was supporting him therefore he can't win.

My assumption was that people are too basically decent for him to win.

There's a lot of ground between knowing something can happen and being emotionally prepared for it to happen.

That's because this was a product concept exercise. It's an exercise in thinking about functionality, design, and form and less about the underlying technology.

There was a period during the Scully era where Apple did a number of these concepts, most famously the "Knowledge Navigator" video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb4AzF6wEoc

This was circa 1987, but was looking ahead to 2000 and beyond with things like always-on background networking and video conferencing. 30 years later we're finally getting to some of the stretch concepts shown in the video, such as conversational interfaces like Siri.

Post-Scully and back into the Jobs II era, this stuff went away. And it's probably a good thing they did. Here's why:

"Commercial entities have no advantage in releasing concept products the likes of which they hope to subsequently sell. If the conceptual piece truthfully captures their “best” it can only tell their competitors how advanced they are and where they fall short. If it camouflages their true capabilities in an effort to mislead their competitors, then what value is it to others? In fact, the intention to mislead competitors is really the only effective reason for a commercial entity to publicly release concept products"

I agree, but I think this goes beyond technology at this point. I hypothesize that we are self-segregating as a nation into Rural and Urban tribes and this is going to cause a lot of pain for half the country and further erode the trust in our institutions. I think we are on a dark path, not because a Republican won, but because we can't effectively govern by coming together and being nuanced and compromising.
> She won the popular vote after all.

As of this moment, that's not true: Mrs. Clinton received 48% of the popular vote. That's more than Mr. Trump, but that's not a majority.
Locking up isn't the only way to punish people. There's actually some talk about e.g. firing someone from his/her job for supporting a candidate. Recently, there was a long discussion chain in HN about how Y Combinator should sever any ties to Peter Thiel because he supported Trump. That Thiel "should be fired".

Discrimination at work may also be about free speech.

Honestly, i can imagine the UK beeing not much different.

Around here Facebook lost its appeal some time ago and mutated to a semi relevant social network. People (especially teens) use a lot Whatsapp & Snapchat now. We mostly stopped having requests for facebook marketing campaigns as well since a few years. And businesses slowly stopped to maintain their Facebook sites.

On mobile but didn't you leave off the percentage sign? (which is another two zeros after the dot)

Of course this is taking op very literally

EDIT: I checked: google "0.001% * 1 year" and it tells you 5.259 minutes, so you were off due to dropping the % sign. That changes things dramatically: beyond the 100x difference, there is very high likelihood that someone would check back 2 minutes later (especially if they are waiting all year), so 5 minutes of downtime (spread over a whole day) likely objectively results in much lower lost sales than your calculation implied! For future envelope calculations don't forget that a % sign is exactly moving the decimal two more places! 55.2% is exactly .552 and so forth!
I did the same thing but now I am using VS Code after trying it because someone said it was faster then Atom. Might be worth a check?

That's only if you're expecting a candidate to provide a perfect solution; and don't make it clear that the time limit should inform their design and not just measure their speed of implementation.

Part of software development is tailoring a solution to the scope of the problem, and this includes taking into account the time and effort available to come up with a solution. Someone who looks at that problem statement and designs something that will take a week has missed a very important requirement.

You could reasonably scale up any problem to take an arbitrarily long amount of time, by adding onerous requirements (must have 7 9's of reliability). What I've found more rare and precious is the developer who can limit the scope so that items that are not up for negotiation like time (2 hours) & resources (1 developer) are respected.

I fully expect a developer to state their assumptions up front, so that I can judge their design based on the stated assumptions and not some unstated imaginary assumptions. It also lets me see how or if they prioritize.

A big real estate New York businessmen / reality TV star (certainly of the New York "establishment" for decades) entered the Republican primaries. Donald Trump was a nobody. Then, he started talking about walls around Mexico and banning all Muslims. This made him very popular in many places. This ended up carrying him all the way to the presidency.

That is a reason why there's so much talk about this. It's a mistake to think that this is election was just economics. A lot of Trump's support came from very well off people after all.

Having said that I do agree with you a fair bit. For a start, "racist" is a bad term. That implies outright hatred, which in my viewpoint is very minority; "cultural anxiety" is a better phrase to me, future insecurity compounded by tribal instinct. EG: It's not "I hate Mexican people", it's "Mexican people took my jobs". Those two sentences are not equivalent.

This too is not the only reason people supported Trump either (anything from nostalgia to agreement with policies to Hillary hatred played a role). On the flip side Bernie Sanders showed that non-culturally-anxious economics played well with many Trump voters too.

But that initial data point still is troubling to me. And it's less on the people that voted for him and more on the candidate himself. Trump was able to exploit this, and in the process made current culture a lot more toxic.
It's really hard to track down the perpetrator unless they make a mistake. Even if you tracked the perpetrator down, there is a very good chance they are in Eastern Europe or some other country/region that will not prosecute or extradite them.

So basically it's almost certainly a waste of time for law enforcement and they mostly don't bother. If they did, we would see command/control moved inside Tor and it would become even more difficult to track (AFAIK this already happens in the more sophisticated botnets).

The appropriate analogy is probably something like fake check scams. Illegal, but difficult to trace and likely to lead to a dead end.

Your reasoning works equally well when referring to Hillary Clinton.

If you vote for someone that only serves her own interests and uses disenfranchised minorities as a stepping stone for personal power and flaunts rules that the rest of us would be put on trial for breaking, then you are part of the problem that corruption, bribery, and dishonesty are. Sure, you vote for different reasons but you effectively say "It's okay to step on everyone in your path, lie, and cheat, as long as I get what I want."

It doesn't sound like a fair argument now, does it?
