I never try to make vim keybindings work in a GUI editor. It is inevitably an uncanny valley, where it's not quite right, and I spend more time context switching between "real vim" and "this sort of vim" than I would just doing things the way the editor was built. I have spent enough time writing prose (and even coding) in more standard GUI editor environments that it doesn't feel unnatural to work in that way. There are some things that are a little painful (I'm really comfortable with, for example, complex substitutions in vim, but not so much in other editors), but most of the time I don't need those features often enough to have it be a major impediment. Like, I have no idea how to "change these two words, but only if it's at the end of a line, and keep the words in between them the same" in any editor other than vim. I'm sure it's possible, and maybe if I ever really switch off of vim, I'll figure it out.

So...yeah, I use Atom and VS Code mostly stock, with a few plugins. I don't ask them to act like vim. I'd just be disappointed.
Atom is free, sublime is $70. That counts for a lot.
The number of extensions for atom is vast (and there are some really good ones), and installing them is much simpler.

I use sublime & atom both at home (OS X) and at work (Windows) and atom is much closer in terms of performance on my home machine. I think the faster SSD & lack of anti-virus crud count for a lot in terms of how fast atom can open files which for me is the most noticeable performance difference.
> I'm a bit confused. Just because I think that the tuition needs to be the same for everyone as a parent protection mechanism doesn't mean their won't be a difference.

What would be the meaningful differences? We are saying, "here's a fixed amount you can spend, you can't charge more and here are the standards you have to meet. Oh, and you can't go out of business, since that would be disruptive to the child's education." It really seems like we've removed most of the advantages of a private school, but can't elect their oversight like we can with a public school. I see absolutely no benefit to having a bunch of disparate schools that have identical budgets and standards. We could do that with magnet schools.

EDIT: I should also add, that I think people overestimate how much vouchers can do to solve the problem, which is largely socioeconomic. Rich people would still live close to the best schools and even if poor people could send their kids there, they still deal with so many disadvantages. If all the best schools are an hour bus ride away, that's unfair to people who don't live in that neighborhood. If I still cannot afford extra curriculars or class trips, then I still cannot give my kids the same education. There's so many other things that figure into the education formula that are not just the school you attend or the teacher that teaches you. I think the best option is to increase people's engagement in their school systems (via school board elections, lobbying, PTA and so on) and get incentives to improve public schools.
Is there a better method for protecting content provided by Netflix?

Just being realistic. DRM is a necessary evil in that video studios would never ever provide content in the clear.

I am so happy to see flash go the way of the Dodo. But curious what the best alternative is for implementing DRM on the web?
Who told you it's going to be sandboxed? It's probably going to be a obfuscated binary blob (it has to of it wants to try ensure that nothing is intercepting it) which will try verifying that OS isn't intercepting data.

I've always enjoyed that formula for the Fibonacci numbers, primarily because it's so unintuitive that the right hand side would actually even be an integer. It's a fun exercise to prove that (without resorting to the fact that the Fibonacci numbers are obviously integers). Hint: start with -1/phi = 1-phi and use phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2.
I'm doing my own write up of both the operator and the overall release with the most major changes for Ruby Weekly tomorrow, simply because, yeah, I can't really link to the main release page as it has nothing on it(!) :-)
For a small business, a $10,000 lawsuit + construction fees is not a trivial cost, and may be cost-prohibitive enough to force the business to close shop. But "something is better than nothing " is not justification alone for not meeting ADA regulations.

I don't think anyone believes that meeting ADA regulations is cheap; the fact that Berkeley (and Harvard and MIT [0]) are in this predicament shows that the cost of producing accessible video is non-trivial. But it's the law, and advocacy groups would argue that the burden shouldn't be on the individual professor, but on the institution, or rather, the federal agencies to provide adequate funding to meet the burden imposed by law.

If institutions aren't forced to realize the costs, then they aren't incentivized to pressure government budget/policymakers to make ADA funding a priority, which neuters the protections that ADA was created for in the first place.

Again, it's costly, but that's the monetary price our civic society pays when it decides to extend protections to those who are disabled. Presumably, the ADA was passed because legislators and constituents thought that the price was worth it.

What voice UI is good for (and what it isn’t)
Stfu go write about how sexy node at uber is
I'm late 30something and I do not want to be writing code any more. I'm burnt out, thanks to being an Android developer. (Don't do it!)

I'm not sure what I'll do instead. I've been reading a bunch of stuff folks have written about the subject, but most people are focused on going in to management or QA or whatever. I think I'd just like "out". My brain ain't what it used to be and I'd rather quit than be fired, if you get my meaning.

I don't have an answer yet. I half-joke about becoming an Amazon Flex driver.
Data is sharply shape-constrained while documents aren't. You can easily look at data and devise traversal schemes to get at the information you want, whereas with documents, this isn't nearly as easy. If you're ingesting XML into a database, it's often easier to just put the whole XML in as a text field, whereas with JSON data, you can just extract the fields you want and insert them in.
Any chance of offering a "test drive" purchase, so I can check out the product before committing to a subscription?
Have you used other editors much? I use Sublime Text as my daily driver, and often pull in VS code for some specific features. It feels so incredibly sluggish by comparison.
Much higher than cold brew. Cold water is not great for extracting coffee - it has much lower extraction potential and creates a different flavor profile. It usually ends up tasting pretty oxidized because of the long brew time.
> And if they did and the industry said no, what should they have done?

Distribute industry content with DRM, distribute their own content without, and see what the results are.

Somebody's going to have to perform the experiment to see what the outcome will be. Since Netflix produces tons of content now, they are in an excellent position to try this.
Not just restrict but total control. It is the direct control over the right to property.

What would happen if lexmark made wood for houses instead of printer cartridges? Would they have control over your home made with wood?
Job Concurrency in Kubernetes: LXD and CPU-Pinning to the Rescue
Even with "just" transitive verbs taking three arguments, it's easy to lose the plot in natural languages like English. The idea that it wouldn't happen in unmarked sentences with two more seems absurd to me. They found some natural relationships that happened to have five members and they had five vowels, so the whole FA series came from that. Also the SE series only seems speakable for se/te. Beyond that, I think it would be a head-scratcher in English.

I also think even if people are getting fluent in Lojban, they're unlikely to be gracefully handling free word order scenarios where the selbri shows up not in position 2. Are there SOV-speakers producing SOV-ish shaped Lojban and everybody is getting along fine?

If you look at the official cmavo list above, FA and SE account for five words each, so ten of the 1000 in the list. Of course, they're pretty productive as prefixes too, so more than that. But I think part of what makes it complex is that there are so many of everything... forethought and afterthought of all the connectives; differently typed connectives for combining sumti, selbri, bridi; the non-obligatory tense/aspect/mood system that accounts for probably at least 40 particles; etc.

It's a neat language. There's a lot of neat stuff in it. I'm sure it's fun to be able to speak and understand it. I guess mainly I think it doesn't speak to your innate language facility's strengths, so I doubt it can be done realtime as a language, as specified. It can clearly be done with our reasoning faculties. Maybe that's enough.
Sorry, but as someone who spent nearly a decade founding and building a premium content VOD service, and 6 of those years fighting fiercely against DRM and making great content available without DRM, I have both the knowledge and moral authority to say that you're living in a fantasy world. You might as well say that anyone who is not living an RMS-sanctioned ascetic technology lifestyle is hurting the cause of free software everywhere. Technically that might be true, but a few true believers martyring themselves is not going to change the social and political forces that drive software over time.

Here's the bottom line: browser makers have absolutely zero leverage over DRM. Firefox refusing to implement DRM would have been 1000 times more likely to lead to Firefox's irrelevance and death than it would lead to rightsholders caving on DRM requirements. Even if all browsers banded together and refused, all that would mean is that premium content would not be available in browsers, and that would lead to a significant devaluation of the web in favor of proprietary apps. It is a techno-centric fantasy to think that browser makers have even a modicum of leverage here. The fact is content producers would restrict themselves to licensed devices in a heartbeat, and they would get away with it to, because at the end of the day, people want to watch what they want to watch.

EME is a ideological compromise, sure, but it's a net benefit to the open web since its scope is small and it maintains the overall schema of web standards. It shouldn't be considered worse than proprietary plugins with arbitrary scope.
> it can feel like non religious western philosophy makes up the majority of thought systems

Definitely. And alarmingly so. The unsettling fact is that I don't feel like I have any idea at all whether most people believe in things like the law of the excluded middle--despite the fact that I'd be hard pressed to come up with a proposition that is more basic to my own view of the universe, or that of virtually everyone I know (including both people I know personally, and people whose work I've read).

The world is really big.

The fact that you write down factors of 2 less is a weak signal of the improved notation, but it's not the point. (If you can't see that tau is conceptually a more fundamental quantity than pi, then you actually don't understand the point!)

The reason to use an elementary example like pi/tau is that it's accessible to a wide audience. Of course it's nearly trivial for experts. It wouldn't make sense for the author to pick a high-level stumbling block that's only important for a tiny group of experts in one subfield.
Short answer is - we're working on it :-)

We hired an engineer and a head of marketing in the last 2 weeks. We are very aware internally that our site has a lot of errors and a lot of what you're seeing are tests we are running. We have a larger design project going in the background.

We do want to figure out a way for more people to try the product - so expect more there.

The target market is actually interesting...there are a TON of people who are really interested in speciality coffee, but simply don't have access, know-how, or want to put in the time. As an example, someone who visited SF, tried Blue Bottle, but lives in Indiana without a Blue Bottle nearby. There are also folks who love great coffee, but really don't have the time (doctors, nurses, etc). A big surprise for us after working on Sudden for a year was that plenty of people who go to the top coffee shops in a city, every single day, don't know too much about the coffee itself (single-origin or pour over are foreign terms) - they just like the taste. A big mission we have is creating ACCESS. We want to help everyone have easy access and UNDERSTAND what great coffee is about.

So responding to your initial question - we would absolutely love to have you as a customer, and I do think you'd love Sudden, but there are a lot of folks with a much more limited understanding of coffee who still love great tasting coffee (this was very surprising to us) - and we've realized there's a huge opportunity to open a new range of coffee to those people.
Has anyone else had the experience of seeing almost zero ads on Instagram since they introduced them? I can count the number I've seen on one hand. I marked the first couple, right after they launched them, as not relevant (they weren't) and since then I think I've seen two, one in the feed and one in their Stories feature.
Learning Myths and Realities from Brain Science
I do. I met one of the founders about six months ago and got a single serving to try (before they started using the tubes).

A couple weeks ago I compared it head to head against starbucks Via while backpacking.

Sudden Coffee totally blew Starbucks Via away. It's about as much better than Via as Via is compared to the horrible Nestle stuff.

It's not going to replace my daily pourover, but for future camping trips I'll be drinking Sudden. For this use-case, the subscription model is a pain. I'd prefer to just buy two or three cases to have a supply and give some out to my outdoor friends/family.

What's sad is that this isn't the first time GitLab UX/UI peeps have tried to remove the sidebar.

9 months ago we went through a very similar version of this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18542

Can we just all agree to keep the damn sidebar available - if UX wants to remove it, fine, as long as users have the ability to easily permanently pin it back open if they wish to do so.

By now GitLab UX should realize that enough developers find great utility in that sidebar.
Using private API's while also infringing on their terms, basically guaranteeing that your service will be blocked the minute it has any type of traction.
If you open a UPS or FedEx account, you can usually bill the charge to it which removes a big part of the handling fee, so you only pay the duties+taxes and possibly a small surcharge (nowhere near 40, I think it was, max, 5 when I used to use it).
Also, the 100% received an internship offer seems like a disingenuous statistic at best. It's trivial to receive "an internship" if you count scammy, unpaid ones.
There is a difference in that with stocks you can go long and reasonably expect a couple percent return in a year. Most people, even those who trade a lot are long overall. In forex you have to beat the market to make anything. It is only rational to trade forex if you have a good reason to believe you can outsmart the market, or if you are hedging currency risk that you already had for other reasons.
A standard _allows_ for uniformity, the only barriers are technical. CDM providers are actively _preventing_ uniformity. There is a massive difference.
The search for a new Selenium goes on
Super impressed with this - one of my coworkers has been giving out samples of it, it's absolutely perfect for mornings when I'm in too much of a rush to deal with grinding / brewing, and also for camping trips.
I'll try to use less marketing terms next time? I'm just a satisfied customer and happy to see them do well. I'm an engineer in SF, see my Keybase: https://keybase.io/btholt
What I'd really like to see is autonomous drones that can harvest small berries, seeds, peas, leaves and root vegetables. You could develop permaculture gardens with extremely high yields and virtually no labour. The drones could even work to cultivate predatory insects such as ladybugs and wasps to keep pests under control.
Well, this "one area" has significantly larger population than the whole of NZ, but I take your point. I think you're trying to point out the low salaries of SW developers, because I find it hard to imagine homes in non-central areas are very expensive?

P.S. I <3 NZ
I agree with your basic premise: Researchers are not supposed to be writing for a lay audience. No arguments here.

But too often, the language (both english & mathematical) of research papers is not intended to enhance academic communication. Rather, it's a faux optimization to game peer review or make results look more "technical" in a way that is actually detrimental to communication.

In effect, the language is counterproductive. And the time spent on faux conciseness is wasted; much like that old quote, "I would've written a shorter letter, if only I'd had more time."
We're currently fully focused on the US market. International expansion is definitely in the plans but not for this year. By far the biggest growth for instant coffee is in China.
Last week I received a similar e-mail from my co-founder, asking me if I could transfer some money to an account. I found it a little strange, but not enough to question that it actually had to be done. Since I was headed to the office anyway, I waited until I got in, and asked him what the money was for.

"What money? What email?"

Turns out the e-mail was sent from a fake gmail account with the name of my co-founder. Hadn't spotted that the email address was wrong, as it was hidden in my email client.

I reported the email to Google and sent the scammer a sarcastic reply: "how many millions do you need?"

The scammers' response? "You're fired"

What a cheeky fraudster! That said, I'm sure he has pulled it off before.
Crash exploitability analysis on Google Cloud Platform: security in plaintext
It is true. Every ad, promotion, or boosted post defaults to placement in news feeds on FB desktop and mobile, and Instagram.
You're spot on re: the water quality. An investigation at DFW a few years ago found hazardous levels of e.coli in the potable water tanks used to refill aircraft.

I wonder why the airlines aren't doing anything about this. I'm not a frequent first-class passenger, but if I were, high-quality coffee would be a big deal for me.
Thanks! Kudos to our investor & Chairwoman Caterina Fake - she's the one who came up with it
> How many programmers did commercial Operating Systems put out of work?

Programmers ended up getting more work. Whatever the computers displaced is where the jobs diminished.
The point of EME is to minimize the amount of code that differs between platforms, by standardizing everything but (in essence) the authenticated key derivation step.
Okay, fair. I'm from Salt Lake City where the coffee is decidedly not as good. What I meant to say it's as good to me as Philz.
Why is reasonable DRM a problem in the first place? I'm paying Netflix $8 a month to watch thousands of movies whenever I want. Being constrained to a large number of devices that take some steps to prevent someone from ripping the movies is a fair tradeoff. It works flawlessly on my computer, on my phone, and on my xbox. The DRM hasn't bothered me once.
These discussions usually conflate "programming, a viable career option" with "programming, an intellectual human endeavor".

The viable career option will, IMO, unquestionably vanish for the majority.

Manufacturing and working at McDonalds were once seen as a viable career path. They've been streamlined and automated such that it requires only a fraction of the human labor it did a generation ago. Google and the like will make this happen for computing as well.

We'll only need so many Evernote like apps. I'd wager we'll have reduced GUI interaction in general, such that a lot of JS/HTML/CSS, and similar coding work will be gone.

We're abstracting things into higher level languages. TODAY I can, with my voice alone, tell my phone to perform a truly fascinating amount of work compared to a decade ago.

When programming as a career is reduced to filling out text files in something like YAML and having ML go to work, only the bleeding edge, the mathiest of the mathheads, will have skills to command a living wage.
In my experience, ads are targeted based on your social graph. I routinely see ads relevant to my lifestyle or occupation, never those for spammy products or trashy memes.
No not the main project settings page. Settings -> Repository and it's right at the bottom, so no more scrolling than you are used to.
Likewise, I've run it on hundreds of machines over the past three years without issue. I do continue to use EXT4 for database hosts as it far outperforms BTRFS with PostgreSQL from what I've seen.
Safari on Windows was the obvious one. Lord what a mess.
I use the Mozilla DXR project (or the searchfox.org fork) every day, which is pretty great for code.

Not only can it quickly search across large codebases, it parses JS/Python and the output of clang (for C/C++) to allow quickly finding the definitions of functions, declarations of variables, and so on (try hovering over a variable for instance):

Nothing that many mainstream IDEs can't do, but having it on the web and being able to quickly link people and not requiring local setup helps tremendously to get people up to speed quickly.
But the qualia argument isn't just that a full description of a mind must explain qualia, it's that the nature of qualia are such that no description of a mind can possibly explain them. Philosophers like David Chalmers are making a specific very strong claim, which I see no reason to accept. I can't right now explain how qualia arise from the mechanisms in our brain, but I see no reason to suppose that such an explanation is impossible.
Rabbit and other non-traditional and game meat can be found at Asian markets around most large cities. I live near to an H-mart, and their prices and variety almost always beat the local butchers'.

If you know someone who owns or runs a restaurant, you can also ask them to purchase any of a large variety of novelty meats and products through their vendors. Our reps loved to showcase those lines, and I've always gotten a kick out of the idea that there are people whose jobs are to create interesting products around these unpopular or inexpensive ingredients.
