On the flip side, dropping $2.5k for a hobby you haven't investigated yet and then looking back 6 months later on the computer collecting dust will likely dissuade you from investing any time into potential future hobbies. I play piano, and I'd never encourage anyone to go drop $2.5k on an electric keyboard just to provide a motivation. A decision to pick up a new hobby/skill should be based on desire, not a handcuff.
Very well played, good sir. I can't believe how long I laughed at this. All the upvotes to you! You are truly a gentleman and a scholar. If this was reddit, I would buy you some reddit gold!

With PH there are some similarities (both are product feeds after all), but substantial differences in the feed mechanics and results. Siftery's ranking is based on recommendations coming from verified business users and the products listed all have business use cases. Products also have a persistent identity (i.e. a new one is not created each time a product is created).

Ultimately, the are different products at the top of each feed, as would be expected from their different use cases and different (if to some degree overlapping) audiences.

We think Siftery Trending is a place where b2b products can go after launching and "graduating" from a community like Product Hunt. One way we're thinking about it is that Product Hunt is to high school what Siftery Trending is to college. There's a time and place for both!

That's my take, but additional thoughts/feedback appreciated.

Guess it would depend a lot on the dev, but it seems like NeoVim would make sense for one's personal computer, and then Vi/m whenever logged on to a remote server.

I'm a vim neophyte, but it's not like your .vimrc follows you along to those remote servers anyways so things would be different anyways working on a server?
Yes, it's time to start thinking about the next twenty years.

Moving vim from a single threaded process to more of an asynchronous server framework is the right move. Emulating vim commands in other editors just doesn't work, we need to turn the edit and command modes into a service.

I also like the endorsement on lua. I'm eager to move my scripting away from vimscript.
It is cheaper for my company. We have very high seasonal demand on one of our websites. Our busy months need 10 times as many servers as the low months. With amazon we pay for the servers only when we use them. When we did it ourselves the servers spent most of the year idle, but using electricity and maintenance but earning us nothing just so we could handle out peak demand. Now we pay nothing for them when we are not using them.

December is one of our low months: those servers we were hitting hard in September are now helping some online store keep up with the Christmas rush. I believe this is factored into the price we pay.

We do a lot of our own work in house. In general we have enough IT staff that it is more cost effective to keep our own servers in house, but that is for loads where the variation is relatively small.
What's the Agenda? Embarrass Trump? Never Trump?
Oh, that's great to know. That coupled with filling out the size to an uninteresting length with nulls (or another delimiter) covers my concerns. For example:

For me the best way to have an accessible ESC key is just to use Alt-h, Alt-j, or just pressing Alt with any normal mode key. It will work on any vim installation out of the box, it is easily accessible and doesn't require remapping.
I can't say that I follow the news on identity politics closely, but my understanding from liberal sources is that conservatives believe that people should use the bathroom assigned to their biological sex, and they don't know or care about whether someone is post-op or pre-op or genderqueer or any of the other gradations of gender. So, again, it seems nonsensical to explain the subtle gradations of gender identity and sexual orientation that have emerged in recent years (i.e. past 30-40 years, say) by saying that conservatives were requiring this information somehow.
It sounds like the book in reference is talking more about clinical depression than, well, depression as a phenomenon.

I'm not going to pretend like I don't still have issues to work out, but I've been heavily depressed many times in my life, and I eventually thought of an interesting question that changed my outlook:

Watch some of those old home videos of you from when you were around 7 years old. The age isn't that important, but I think that's a golden number in this case. Look at that boy or girl who is playing in the fountain, popping bubbles, imagining dogfights with toy airplanes, and shouts "YEAH!" when asked if they want to ride the sled down the hill again. Is that child fundamentally who you are? Why not?

Granted, this won't apply to everyone. I've known people personally whose early childhoods were lousy. But there are lots of people out there who, like me, are fundamentally happy, curious, and enthusiastic, but were lied to by society. Society told us big lies, such as that we can't be truly happy unless we have things to demonstrate our status. We're told that, by a certain age, we should have a significant other, cars, gadgets, a "career", and more. If we get the sequence wrong, or it doesn't happen on time, we disappoint ourselves. Even when we get those things, they're rarely as satisfying to have as we thought they'd be. This is largely because we sacrificed our inner child in order to seek the approval of everyone else, only to discover that most people around you don't actually care if you have any of those things. It doesn't matter how many things you have to show off your status -- if you're being a miserable person, you're not going to get the approval or acceptance that you're seeking.

The idea of "loving yourself" first seems cliche and silly, and I thought it was, but there's a lot of truth in it. Taking a look back to childhood, before you were tainted by negative experiences, might give you the best insight into who you are. I began to feel much happier the more I got in touch with that 7 year old boy who only needed the unconditional love from his parents and an unabashed imagination. Getting in touch with your child doesn't mean behaving like a child, but it does mean learning how you could once experience happiness without the need to show status, own the latest fancy toys, have a "respectable" job, have an attractive partner, a backyard, retirement plan, yada yada yada.

The irony of learning who you are through your child, and rejecting the lies of society, is that you can re-learn to be self-amused and radiate those positive emotions, which will get you far more approval and status than you could get with anything else.

It might not be true for everyone, sure. But if that "missing piece" to your life has been inside you the whole time, and you aren't seeking it out, that's tragic.

P.S. I know that clinical depression is not the same. I have first-hand experience with this, and I certainly wouldn't tell someone with serious issues in their life or inexplicable depression to just "be happy".
That's a pretty bold claim considering that (for instance) MAME's CPC emulation eats 25% of one CPU core (checked with vsync enabled). MAME might not be the fastest because they do a lot of the inter-chip-communication via function pointers, but they're also not idling around and the CPC emulation is quite accurate AFAIK. If you can point me to an emulator that's hundreds or thousands of times faster I'd really like to take a look, might steal some ideas ;)
> “Men,” she writes, “have cannily figured out how to sidestep the implication of moral failing that attaches to mental illness—as well as the specific criticism of self-indulgence that is attributed to more introspective accounts of this condition—by insisting on a force outside themselves, or on a purely genetic susceptibility.”

In-Band vs. Out-Of-Band: The Advantages of Hypermedia APIs
in my company they first start a project by coming up with a budget, then they hire many people for that budget, then they have a long series of meetings figuring out what the thing should really do. So you have the pressure to get started with a ton of developers while still nobody has a clear vision. These people produce something but usually it's not what you really need.

I would much prefer to have a small team of very good people figuring out things, develop a clear strategy and then see where more people are needed. I think the main evil is to ramp up team size before the team is ready.

I used vim for 20 years, up until about a month ago when I tried kakoune. It's got a new approach to modal editing that I really dig, which makes me realize the thing I loved about vim was that for a long time it was the best modal text editor around. I still think vim is a great project, but kakoune takes a refreshing approach that really clicked for me.

I've seen it happen a few times around me and while people usually get annoyed it's not a big deal, especially if it happens quickly.

We hired a machine learning guy from Facebook and he up and quit in less than 2 weeks, because his buddies finally landed a series A and he wanted to work for them. We were all annoyed, but I wouldn't bad mouth him to anyone.
The "correct" solution to this problem is the x32 ABI [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not well supported in the real world, however.

I have a lot of respect for people that are even able to maintain for a while during that state. My own experience with this (at least from all the descriptions of clinical depression I've heard it sounds the same) was with a bad interaction with medication as far as I know (Mucinex DM, absurdly enough).

It started by me having a pretty droll day at work, but the first indications something was really wrong (looking back), were when I went home, and literally wanted to do nothing. I didn't want to play or deal with with my young children or significant other, didn't want to eat dinner, didn't want to watch TV or read a book, or use the computer for any reason. I literally wanted nothing, and the best way to achieve that seemed to be to go lay in bed, even though I didn't want to sleep either.

The second day was much the same, but I also realized that I didn't like my job, or career, and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life either. Needless to say, this didn't improve my outlook compared to the prior day.

The third day, when I woke up, I was scared. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I stopped taking the congestion medication just in case and because it was the only thing I could think of that had changed recently. I was feeling mostly normal within 24 hours or so. I can easily see how in that state of mind things could escalate. Almost a decade later, I still consider it one of the scariest episodes of my life.

Interestingly, 9-10 months later, a friend who I had told about the incident right after it happened told me the same thing had just happened to him from the same medication.

I'm glad you got everything under control. The brain is a crazy organ.

Worth remembering this is an early version of WebAssembly that is semantically similar to ASM.JS. Further performance improvements are very likely, can see some of the planned improvements here:

https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FutureFeat...

Also, we're unlikely to see 10x improvements over JS. Based on the benchmarks I've seen, JS isn't 10x slower than C.
I hit reply too soon. Sorry. Regarding robustness: Our tests show we're more robust that than alternative proxy services with smaller feature sets.

The desire there was to provide women and boys with safe spaces more than to discriminate against anyone. It's a protective instinct, not an oppressive one.

I'm not saying women are right to think all men are potential rapists or something, but there used to be a system in place to help with that issue. Now, what? I guess women need to hang outside the restroom until it seems safe? Or always go in groups?

Maybe we'll see more single-person restrooms going forward.

Anyway, point being, it's easy and reductionist to boil complex human emotions down to bigotry. I think the "classic bathroom rules" had some good points to them that we haven't replaced.

I am using a time-series db where each metric measurement requires some static context information to be included, e.g. Event 1 happened in Device A at Node B, Location C. These static entities (A, B, C) are perfect for graph vertices. But, when I am persisting the graph on disk - I store all the data statically, No links just columns - the static entities become dimensional data.

Is there a better way to this ?

Ideally, we should persist the Object Graph directly without any data conversion. I see a difference in - How we compute and How we store data.
> freedom of speech is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship

Yes!

> or societal sanction

No! This is absolutely not the case. If you call someone the N-word, you should expect to be treated as a racist by society. Call someone a fag and expect to be treated as a homophobe. Freedom of speech does not guarantee the right to speech without any consequence. The government can imprison, tax and has many other abilities not granted to Shopify. For that reason, dissenting speech must be protected from them in a way that's fundamentally different than the way it must be protected from Shopify. But non-governmental actors absolutely do have a role in guiding speech to be more civil and create the society we want to live in. We do that through social pressure rather than with force majeur. It's that crucial difference that requires protection from the government but not from Shopify.

Except that he does. He quotes the ACLU talking about speech protected by the first amendment:

> * Inefficient instructions are replaced with more efficient instructions. For example gcc will for a simple x % 19 generate no less than 16 instructions instead of a single div/idiv. This is probably still faster, but it may still be detrimental if it's not in a hot path. It should be noted that gcc emits this even at -O0.

Does it emit it at -Os ?
Or sometimes your prototype or proof-of-concept simply gets deployed to production by executive fiat because they don't understand that it's put together with bubble gum and baling wire, and over the next 3-5 years you are never given the resources to do anything but (a) keep it running somehow, and (b) add more features that got promised to customers in order to land them and that need to be live ASAP.

What's that...? No, I've never experienced that situation myself, why do you ask?
Austin and Seattle average salaries of $190K for developers?

And yet SF and NYC are still stuck around $130K, which is only 20% higher than what it was 10 years ago, and these cities are far more expensive to live in?

What's the draw, why don't more developers move to Austin or Seattle?
I've always wondered what C running on a JIT would be like. As far as I'm aware all the modern JIT languages are quite high level and do a lot more than C to begin with, so it would be interesting to see if you could eek out even more speed from C using a JIT.
I think it is really cool to see the promises of Truffle starting to get delivered!

What is really cool is that this won't just be for Ruby, but also other languages such as JS and R.

The philosophy is flawed. Good people don't make average-for-their-area salaries.

Depending on which of the 5-6 applicable job titles listed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics's Occupational Employment Statistics [0] one chooses to apply, my salary is between 40% and 120% higher than the "average mean wage" (itself an inflated statistic) in my area.

This is true not just of myself but of all the good candidates I've hired. Good people don't work for average rates, especially not good people who are capable of doing remote work.

GitLab is doing itself a big disservice by targeting the "average" local wage.

Yeah, though IRC seems to have weathered the years fairly well (at least with its core audience), and it's an open and federated protocol. Since Matrix bridges to IRC, and adds some features that you used to need IRC bouncers and such to get, and is federated itself, my (possibly naive) hope is that it can evolve into something at least akin to a "next generation" IRC with first-class support for E2E encryption and various other chat features that people tend to like these days.
MY company does hybrid remote/on-site, and one of the best ways to mitigate issues with off-site communication is part-time work from home. Since on-site workers spend some of their time as remote workers, everyone has a good idea of what's required to empower remote developers.
