On top of that, Spanish feels like a pragmatic language: it foregoes French's formality and resistance to borrowed words (e.g., computadora versus ordinateur). It also helps that Spanish speakers tend to be forgiving of gender errors in the rare cases where the spelling misleads (mostly just masculine words that end in -a).

Getting quickly to my position would be a frustrating proposition. A considerable portion of how I got where I am is because of the mistakes I made. I wouldn't want to have gotten here faster and the pursuit of getting to "senior" faster isn't the right mindset.

The goal should be continual improvement which includes successes and mistakes. Preferably, these are done at a pace that lets you enjoy your youth, family, friends, and life.
The 'd2tf' example is just wrong... after realizing I didn't hit the right 'f' I would just press '.' (not 'ud2tf')... I think I will stay with vim for now, also the discoverability could be better... Btw. mixing vim with tmux also solves the 'command line next to editor' problem.

From Design notes:

> "No threading: multithreading is a hard problem, and is not well suited to a text editor:

Either we want a direct result, and we need to be synchronous with the user, so getting a 4x speed up is meaningless, we need to have an algorithm which appears instantaneous the user.

Or we want an asynchronous result, and then the processing is best left to a helper command which can be reused with other Unix tools."

I agree with them. Multithreading today in all situations is like Fuzzy logic of yesteryears. It is suppose to make everything better.
Emacs user here. No it didn't just "click" with me. I was learning Lisp and learning Emacs became a necessity. I don't think it was easy for anyone to learn Emacs or Vim. It takes a lot effort to learn these tools. In my case, it took about 2 months before I felt like I was efficient with the text editing, and I still learn new things today.

If it matters, I don't think many people can program any faster than I can in Emacs, especially against macros, interesting plugins, functions, and snippets.

There is a trope about how a new Emacs user will be faster than most Vim users, but watching an expert Vim user work blows the best Emacs / IDE user out of the water.
> Building "a" car isn't that hard.

Tesla deserves plenty of accolades just for getting to the point where they are producing multiple models of vehicle that conform to or exceed modern standards of quality .

However, Tthey have only managed to build "a" luxury sedan, "a" crossover SUV, and will soon be building "a" budget-luxury sedan. The real challenge is in attaining and sustaining the pace of development maintained by the rest of the industry. The automotive industry at large keeps a rolling cycle of refreshes and replacements on a roughly 3/6 year timetable (refreshed after 3 years, replaced after 6). Some niche models (Jeep Wrangler, Mazda Miata) stay in production far longer than that average but a 3/6 cycle is also a bit too long in ultra-competitive categories such as the compact crossover segment.

This is where I see Tesla beginning to struggle as their entirely bootstrapped operation has struggled to meet deadlines. That is cause for concern as it places their current lineup at a competitive disadvantage as their competition has gone through at least 1 refresh, if not a full replacement, since the design of their most recent model (Model X) was set in stone.

The Model S design was largely set in stone by 2009, 2010 at the latest and the Model X design was mostly locked in by 2012, 2013 at the latest. It took 3 years for both of those designs to actually reach showroom floors (2012 and 2016 respectively) so while the clock hasn't run out in terms of production life, the designs themselves are beginning to become dates. I don't just mean "design" as in styling, I mean it as the all-encompassing architecture of the vehicles.

While Tesla's offerings have several unique attributes which cannot be found in any of their closest competitors, one can only push an old design for so long before it becomes completely unappealing to consumers, even when sold at break even prices. I dare say that such a scenario may be playing out with the Model S as its sales had slumped leading up to the 2016 refresh that boosted sales, yet the bump still fell short of that model's best sales quarter which occurred back in 2015. The fact is that the Model S was designed to achieve the minimum level of refinement expected of a 2010-era, $65,000 luxury sedan with the silent, powerful electric powertrain being the plan to make up for its shortcomings in the areas of ride quality and interior fit and finish. Now that ~7 years have passed, the high end, mid-size sedan offerings from mass market brands have caught up to the Model S in many areas.

The Model S may smoke a Nissan Maxima in straight line and the Maxima can't hold a candle to the silence of the Tesla's powertrain but it also costs ~$35,000. In my opinion, it also has a better finished interior and more up-to-date styling than the Model S. We can argue all day over these points but you have to admit that manufacturers like Nissan are at least getting within striking distance in certain areas with cars costing half the price. Tesla needs to seriously step up their development game lest they be left behind with woefully dates products that simply cannot be discounted enough to remain appealing.
Silicon Valley has plenty of fog, narrow and winding mountain roads, darkness, bad road markings, etc.
Meanwhile, Git has taken over all source control for development despite being possibly one of the worst applications ever created. (Hell, even Lotus Notes tried to be usable-- it failed, but it tried.)

It's a lost cause in this industry.

Am I missing the sarcasm at some point in this thread, or something? It's very clear to me that this is not journalism, and shouldn't be read with the expectation that it conforms to journalistic standards, any more than some observation on distributed systems on a personal blog should be read with the expectation that it conforms to scientific standards.

It's a different type of content, which has a different kind of value. Are people trusting the claims the way they'd trust journalism from a known good media organization (or a paper from a known good research organization)?
No, it's not zero. The sum is up to `a`, not up to infinity.
Regardless of how you feel about legalization, policy, etc, this should prove, at the very least, that we aren't winning the "War on Drugs."
But in this case the right side is exactly that, the sum of an infinite sequence of numbers (which equals the limit of the partial sum for that sequence if it converges (which this sequence of partial sums does)).

The reason it still works is because it's actually 0 < s_0 < a < s_1 < 1, so even if a approaches s_1 arbitrarily close it still won't be equal to an integer (same is true if it goes arbitrarily close to s_0 of course).

No, it comes from wanting to reuse the tool!

Would you like your browser to open plenty of pop-ups with messages like "Congratulations! The font XYZ was successfully loaded from C:\foo\bar" or "That's incredible! I looked for a JPEG on server www.qqq.com ... and it was there!"? No, you wouldn't. And I wouldn't like "mv" to babble every time it renames a file on the hard disk.
Thanks for the sanity check. I read that reply, and got bogged down enough that I was worried my initial reaction of "what, that's not relevant!" was born of ignorance. Discrete/continuous is a distinction worth making, but as a hidden 'definition' for ML I really don't understand it.

Is it a big mystery?

Life in certain parts of America is just aweful.

Is it suprising certain people turn to a drug to relieve the missery of life, or self-medicate a mental illnesses? A mental illness that doesn't go away yacking/blaming two times a week?

We were told how certain wonder drugs(heterocyclic--drugs like Prozac, and older tricyclics type drugs) will make us feel better, relieve certain metal illness, and they when we looked deep into the terrible research; they don't even know if they work.

"Oh well--yes--well maybe they work 62% over that huge placebo response--in those dubious studies done in India. You know the ones where the researchers left out the studies that failed. By the way, my fee for today is $350. See you in eight weeks? I might have raised my fees, so bring an extra $50? See yea--close the door on you way out."

The one thing that kept me away from heroin, from reliable sources, not Doctors, you do fell better for 3-9 months. (If you don't get busted, go to jail, loose your job, lose what's left of your life now.) Then it stops working. You need more drugs to feel just like you did before the opiate. You spend the next few years, and maybe a lifetime just addicted to a drug that only worked for a few months? What's the point?

It's society, and the medical community that failed.

Weird, I would never imagine locking down development workstations -- how would you ever get anything done? Just one example would be Docker, having access is equivalent to root so why beat around the bush?

Our office basically treats development boxes the same as BYOD except the company buys the hardware. IT will do best effort diagnostics and recovery on those machines but otherwise you're on your own.
I'm not a huge fan of vim: I used vim a lot for a 1,5 year, then switched to IDE with refactoring (CodeGuide was one of the first IDE's with refactoring for Java).

When a IDE supports refactoring, e.g. it can swap order of arguments in calls to function, it helps a lot. But when the IDE does not support refactoring of language of your choice, vim can help to do a refactoring of code manually much faster. For example, I may use some shell commands to refactor bunch of js/html/css/java/sql code with single or few find and perl -pie commands, all at once. When I need to do an another refactoring, I can pickup previous refactoring command from shell history or I even can put command into script, so I will have my own refactoring tool. Regular expressions are fragile when used with code, but I can undo changes with git and repeat. They are saving lot of typing, so I prefer to spend few minutes in console than a hour in IDE. Vim has lot of commands built-in, so it's even easier to do a refactoring in Vim, but IDE's built-in refactoring is still better, when available.
thats because the govt has taken the guns so they can't kill themselves. lol
I agree this move isn't surprising, but disagree with the assertion that Google is a software development and services company.

Google is first and foremost an Internet Search Advertising company, so far it has been the thing keeping the lights on. I expect that if it had felt it could make the transition into self driving car company it would have. But it helps to remember a little bit of history here.

Google was, for the most part, the very first company of significant size to invest in self driving cars. They did that at the behest of Sebastian Thrun who was working there. It made some big headlines and it certainly added to Google's "glow" as a place where the future was happening. And then it ran into the sludge that is Google's inability to actually make "products" that aren't a web page. And as it did people started slipping away, first Sebastian, then Chris, then a big exit to what was Otto, Etc.

While Google was sitting in that quagmire of their inability to execute on a product vision, Tesla came in, announced auto pilot, deployed autopilot, updated it to do many of the things Google could actually do, announced self drive, deployed the hardware for self drive. Basically all executing on a product strategy while Google argued internally about whether or not their "car" should have a steering wheel or not.

What I've read in the news so far it sounds like Google is spinning off what is left of that group as Waymo (that seems like it is a sort of PIP for groups at Google) and trying to sell it off to someone.

I left in 2010 and the self driving car group was about a year old (and I tried to join it but they turned me down :-() Here it is 2016 so 7 years of development. A number of actual vehicles were produced, a number of cars were modified, I'm guessing there were about 150 people in the group at its peak. Just doing back of the envelope conversations for that group I'm guessing Google invested at least $300M in the effort. And now its scrap.

I appreciate that it is a really hard problem, and I appreciate that it was pretty far off Google's expertise spectrum. I also appreciate that they take "big bets" even when they fail. But given where Tesla is, and where they are, I worry that even if one of their big bets is a "winner", Google won't be able to execute on it. Just like Xerox couldn't execute on the personal computer and GM on electric cars. Once you get to be too big to win, what do you do?

I would love to see Signal provided on F-Droid, as I mentioned above, but I would temper my criticism quite a lot more than yours, for a number of reasons:

1. I haven't read/heard excuses based on updates/features/metrics/&c. as you mention, but their one performance excuse sounds reasonably plausible. Moxie has commented that he'd welcome a PR[0] even if it had bad performance (provided it only ran conditionally of course).

2. The tone in your Github link is a bit heavy-handed, and calling it malware is going too far, but I can understand the developer of software for which security is extremely critical advising strongly against using an outdated version that's being built and distributed by someone else. There is definitely no implication in that comment that F-Droid is malware, he's only referring to TextSecure.

3. I understand your Github link was just to provide an indication of Moxie's tone, but it is very old and the actual factual details in there are probably not very relevant today.

4. I trust the F-Droid software itself, but not necessarily the repository. The distribution of the outdated TextSecure above is as good an example as any - the idea of a 3rd-party building TextSecure and providing it through F-Droid may be all well and good in the spirit of Free Software, but it doesn't really instill trust when the actual author of the software isn't involved at all.

Finally, I'd never heard of the Gandi issues with Moxie's cert before reading that article. After reading it, I'm much more inclined to be suspicious of Gandi than of Moxie. The article is littered with red flags - that fact that their initial response seems to be to go after their customer rather than to question their business relationship with Comodo being a big one.

I suspect Google never planned to be a car seller, they had their own vehicle because they wanted less baggage and friction while de veloping/proving the technology. Google will occasionally make concrete products where they see it beneficial to their software-baaed service focus, but they really don't seem to want to be in that kind of business except peripherally.
Interesting, as a long term Vim user I might try this out. Currently invested some time in Spacemacs and I don't want to jump around too much.

It really needs a catchier name though. We have Vim. Spacemacs. Emacs. Kakoune sounds a bit foreign imho.
While of course there needs to be a review about a possible bug in the software/hardware implementation of the new MacBook Pros, one just needs to divide the battery capacity of the machine by its TDP to get a lower bound for the battery life - so one hour is not off for a machine as powerful as the MacBook Pro. I am using the 2015 version. It has a larger battery - 99 Wh, but still, depending on the software, I can use it up in 1-2 hours easily. Of course, on less taxing loads I do get around the advertised run times.
Yup. The war on drugs is a waste of everything.

For example, we posted a job for a mid-level front end developer. We got a bunch of resumes from people who just finished a code bootcamp earlier this year, when we specified 3 years of front end development experience as the main requirement. Why does someone who finished a bootcamp 3 months ago and hasn't done any professional work yet thinks they should apply for a mid-level position, is beyond me.

Other candidates apply with 0 development experience - their resume frames them as "project managers" or "Search engine specialist" with no development related prior experience anywhere. I feel I wasted my time everytime I go through one of those.

That's precisely what makes Kakoune interesting. There are tons of Emacs-alikes out there, environments that do what Emacs did in a more modern way. There are basically no Vim-alikes out there, things that take Vim's conceptual underpinnings and do them differently in a way that is unambiguously not Vim.
And they will always suffer from fragmentation issues while Apple suffers from a super-high profit margin.

A lot of DailyWTF posts are about people not knowing a function existed and then reimplementing it horribly. Many of them include a note like "the other 10,000 lines were similar".

Ignorance is not embarrassing, it's the default state when all of our tools grow and change daily. But a lot of the worst wtf moments are clearly cases where something wasn't sanity checked by anyone until it was presented as a finished product - sometimes too late to keep out of production. That's the benefit of frequent commits, reviews, and research breaks; they might not prevent our ignorance, but they keep it under control.
Very true, but decoupling is only 1 of the benefits of microservice. Polygot environments, scalability, etc also come with microservices vs modules.

As with everything its about the right tool for the job and a lot of organizations are more than happy to trade network overhead for the other bullet points microservices offer.

It seems that they are unable or unwilling to separate deaths due to mental disorders from substance abuse. Probably due to the thinking that anyone who dies from a substance abuse issue is dealing with a mental disorder. While this may be true some of the time, I'm not sure that it's clear that it is always the case. And even if it was, substance abuse deaths would just be a subset of deaths from mental disorders, still would seem misleading to lump them together.
