Redrawing state boundaries has a whole host of other issues, but it definitely would be interesting to make regional governing bodies that are in charge of all federal infrastructure dollars.

As I said, claiming understanding while showing only confusion. I really, really, really hope your so-called explanation makes sense inside your head, otherwise I'll be forced to think you are being dishonest, taking terms that have been used in one way for probably a millennia, if not more, and twisting them to cause controversy where there is none. Either way, there is nothing more I could add without being mean, so I'm gonna stop answering.

The article mentions that you can set custom mappings to escape and uses this as an example:

imap jj <Esc>

If you're interested in doing that, I'd strongly recommend you never do a plain `imap` and instead always do `inoremap` (this advice applies to `nmap`, `vmap`, and the like as well). The difference is that the noremap variant is non-recursive [0].

Also, since we're on the subject of escape alternatives, I may as well mention mine. It really bothers me that exiting insert mode moves your cursor back a space. To remedy that, I've got a custom mapping that escapes and them jumps to the mark at which insert mode last was [1]. The mapping is:

inoremap jj <Esc>`^

I agree it's a shame that static content is more ephemeral than it should be, but I also worry about dynamic content and how the whole experience of using the web isn't snapshot-able. For instance, I can't really go back and browse the front page of Reddit, or look at Google News or just search the Internet of ten years ago.

In fifty years, it's going to be really hard to explain to people who weren't there what it was like to use the web in it's early days. We'll have lots of archived data from that time, but the experience can't be re-created.
At least you get to zoom in, which is not true with most of the mobile websites these days.

That's exactly the same as Canada: the provinces and their authority are defined in the constitution, and it requires a constitutional amendment (which requires agreement of 2/3 of the provinces) to change what the provinces have authority over.
Serious question: is there a legitimate reason I should care?
You bring up the question of, how do we know what's true in this day of internet news?

Well, the answer is research and discussion.

Why do people here seem so worried that the government is lying to them about their powers and can't be trusted?

because: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R._Clapper#False_testimo...

because: Edward Snowden, who revealed illegal government activity. The government reacted by instead of admitting it was wrong, turning him into a criminal. Worse, all kinds of pseudo-news (TV, radio, internet, even NPR!) bought into this dialog that he's "Helping Russia." The fact is that he's in Russia because the US canceled his passport when he was on his way to South America.

Just because people are scared and emotional doesn't mean they're wrong (e.g. Germany in the 1930s). If you think the conclusions people are coming to are invalid, try to question in a respectful way instead of labeling.
And the effort is made to make people pay attention to crap. Just like TV shows, if website is not crap and has actually engaging content, users won't reach for smartphones.

Refusing to authorize the construction of more petroleum-extraction infrastructure is a great way to spur market-based activity toward switching away from petroleum. If fossil fuels are cheap, people will keep using them. When fossil fuels become more expensive than the alternatives, people will switch. We do not have very much time left - we've been hanging out in the "interim" you propose for at least thirty years now, which is as long as I've been aware of the issue - so we really do need to push on both ends of this equation.
Besides it being a bad idea anyway, nothing you describe is a) backed up by fact or b) necessarily ethical, if true.

Were the United States government to add a second sub-national set of borders for enumerated purposes such as infrastructure planning, etc., I expect a Constitutional amendment.
If you're implementing the 'positive reinforcement over negative' approach into your life, it's important to trust the large body of research that demonstrates its effectiveness. Be skeptical of your own internal perception of its effects. I find that when I'm working to make positive reinforcement work, the outlier failures stand out so much larger in my mind. I struggle to understand that it's working in the long run despite my infrequent emotional reactions of anger, frustration, failure, etc.

In Unix you don't get a choice to block on one or the other. You just get a non-blocking File Descriptor.

To add this you'd need to iron bandage system calls during compilation depending on which calls were made, and their order they were made.

The alternative is having an Epoll/Kqueue loop run until one or another happen. But that's still a lot of magic and resource consumption behind the scenes for a language that offers low level control.
Ship in the water in big tankers. Like they do in the Middle East. In any case heavy handed military sort of dealing with people can massively backfire. Right now it's American Indians with small numbers in the future it might be alt-right conservatives with millions of supporters and lots of guns. It's a two way street with violence, you could start an insurgency if the other side had enough numbers and felt that you were acting out a war scenario. This is not good for any sense of democracy or civil rights to engage in this sort of behavior with locals. Which again points to a sort of racism when dealing with rights of minorities, especially economically disadvantaged minorities, compared to advantaged minorities like Corporations.

Tangential: Is there a non-Google way of getting similar functionality to what Google Music used to be? It's hugely appealing to have my own copy of everything I listen to synced seamlessly across devices. Google Music is getting it done, but there are a few warts: a) It keeps pushing its marketplace, subscription service, and "radio" feature. I'm interested in none of them. b) There's no (sane) way to make a track from my library be played from my alarm clock. c) It limits how many times I can download a particular track. That I own. Yes, I have my own copy elsewhere, but the point of Google Music is supposed to be saving me the headache of keeping things in sync.

I never thought "Story of Your Life" was an alien contact story. Well, I mean, it is. I definitely did not see that as the point of the story, though, but rather as a tool to tell the actual story. In that light, the change to the alien contact plotline in the movie maybe isn't such a big deal. I was happy to see that they'd preserved what I thought was the essence of story.

I use them very often in Emacs instead of keyboard macros. They are useful whenever you have to perform the exact same operations in several places simultaneously visible on the screen[0]. By operations I mean both simple ones, like writing something, and more complex ones, like navigating/deleting whole words (of different length), etc.

Mostly I use it for quick renaming of variables, string fixes, and some structural changes in code.

While this is framed here as a "radical" technique, it's just BF Skinner's Operant Conditioning, which has been one of the foundations of behavioral psychology for nigh on 100 years.

If you're wondering if it really works, yes, it does. One of the key elements of it, especially when using it on people, is accepting that the subject is likely to execute the behavior badly for the first few iterations, but you have to positively reinforce it just the same as if they'd done it perfectly if you want them to get better. If you can't manage this, and you get angry at them, you're jeopardising the whole thing.

I definitely envy VSCode's nice debugging interface. I wish there was a standalone debugging app that integrated with Sublime (and other editors) to provide multi-language debugging like VSCode.

For now, Sublime's plugin ecosystem is still better. And Sublime has more polish on a ton of little things.

It will never catch up to Sublime on performance though. Not only because it is written in JS but also because a ton of the work that went into Sublime was writing custom systems for fast text editing.

> I think the key observation is this: everything you say is true, and yet many rural areas still have terrible economies.

Well yes, because the actual physical capital (machines, skilled labor, etc) is concentrated in cities. Increasingly so, in fact, as the economy has become dominated by monopolies and oligopolies.

> Every specialization has their own jargon to grok.

True, but a more subtle observer might point out that the jargon can serve more than one function simultaneously. In fields like organic chemistry which is famous for its compound names that sometimes extend beyond the page limit, the jargon is unavoidable, well defined and categorized, and serves a narrow and specific role (though true, learning that jargon would signal your competence within the field, so perhaps it's a dual one, where the secondary function is to serve as a barrier). In a number of other fields, specifically the social sciences (and even more specifically, the social sciences after they inhaled a large dose of Frankfurtian critical theory), the jargon serves a far more complex role of (1) naming a concept, (2) signaling to peers from other disciplines the "scienciness" of what could (sometimes justly) be criticized as a non-empirical field, and (3) signaling to peers from the same discipline the "political in-groupness" of the author, that is that the author shares their political beliefs.

One could even argue there is a 4th role, where you subtly signal (to potential recruits from the student body): "See how much non-empiricism we can get away with? Join us, and you can get away with it too! Free degree, if only you agree!"

The stock Javascript stuff works all right for me. After just tracking down a problem I was having with indention that turned out to be a dumb line in my .vimrc, I'd suggest doing a standard troubleshoot - take out all of your extensions and your .vimrc and see if it still does it. If it stops, re-enable stuff until you figure out exactly what's causing the problem.
This was explained very well decades back in "Punished By Rewards" - one of the most useful book I've read.
> your source for your suggestion that this is an insurmountable volume-related problem

I wasn't. But a problem not being insurmountable does not make you incompetent for not solving it (yet). Curing cancer is not insurmountable yet we don't call scientist incompetent for not having it done yet (at least I don't).

And before you say it. No, I am not saying this is as difficult as curing cancer.

I don't know enough about the issue to correct you or not. I just know a lot of great software engineers who have poured their sweat and blood into systems only to be called incompetent.

I've also seen open source developers develop brilliant pieces of software and then get called incompetent for a single bug. Because the bug was "obvious" (in hindsight)

That kind of attitude keeps people from taking risks. I personally think we need to encourage people to go into the tough problems and a lot of people won't if they risk being ridiculed for not solving them.
That's incorrect, Monero does not leak amounts since they created and added RingCT (currently compulsory on testnet, and compulsory on mainnet from a hard fork next year September) - https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0005.pdf

Not only does Monero already do what ZCash is trying to do, but it has two main advantages:

1. EVERY transaction is private, which means that the entropy of the anonymityset is continuously growing. Instead, ZCash restricts privacy to an opt-in mechanism (mostly due to private transactions being horrible - requiring north of 8gb of RAM and several minutes on a modern computer) which means that there is a trivial amount of entropy, and deanonymization is pretty trivial.

2. Monero is focusing on further improvements that ZCash is just dreaming about, such as their C++ i2p router, Kovri. They can do this because they've been in production, tested, and hammered for several years.

The real question is: what does ZCash provide that Monero doesn't, except some sort of ridiculous "star cred"?

I think the confusion arises from the difference between the words "collectivist" and "collective".

Collectivism is the name of a political philosophy closely related to socialism communism, and a term popular with libertarians. In this context, writing "collectivist attempt to fix it" reads like 1) a suggestion that the British Empire's actions were motivated by a collectivist government and 2) that you're trying to tie failure to tackle global warming into a larger libertarian worldview.

I think it's a valid argument that collective action for long term gain against short-term self interest is very difficult to achieve.

Almost everyone who analyzes the change to rule 41 just looks at the change to Rule 41(b). There is also a change to Rule 41(f)(1)(C), which concerns serving a warrant. The pre-change version is:

> The officer executing the warrant must give a copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property taken to the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken or leave a copy of the warrant and receipt at the place where the officer took the property.

The post-change version appends another sentence to that:

> For a warrant to use remote access to search electronic storage media and seize or copy electronically stored information, the officer must make reasonable efforts to serve a copy of the warrant on the person whose property was searched or whose information was seized or copied. Service may be accomplished by any means, including electronic means, reasonably calculated to reach that person.

Am I a stoic?

As someone who doesn't experience much emotion (usually none) except for my own hubris or pride, I find I'm happier than most people. I also find I have bouts of negative emotions at times, but very few identifiable positive emotional experiences. The number of times I could identify my own "happiness" is about 12...and that's where my life experiences and lifestyle was in a condition I would aspire to for the commensurate time period.

> According to a long line of modern critics of Stoicism from Hegel onwards, the Stoic is someone who lies themselves out of reality in order to feel happy in otherwise unpleasant circumstances.

I am considered "different" in many respects, by everyone I spend time around. It doesn't seem to make me much less popular, but I am avoided or included in exchanges, based on this personality. I don't ignore emotion to avoid unpleasant circumstances (although it may be related to childhood experience/trauma at some point), I just don't have it. As per American Psycho, I'm just not there. When diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, I respond (because they want a reaction) - "Everyone dies". So it might seem like it's a coping mechanism when I'm really just trying to accommodate others. When my father gets cancer. I reassess if I want to spend time with him. Nope. Didn't before, don't now.

One day I'll be gone and the whole question becomes moot for me, so I never thought it had a name.

"Both companies have recently instituted similar plans. Under the programs, customers can use select services without having them contribute to a data cap — a practice known as zero rating. In AT&T’s case, the FCC writes that, despite protests from the company, its sponsored data program “strongly favors AT&T's own video offerings” while damaging the opportunity for other video services to compete."

T-Mobile applies its zero rating to all services that partner with it, and does not have its own offering that competes.
