On the contrary, I still miss the speed of ST but the price-vs-feature ratio on VSC is too high for me to ignore anymore. No way the boss will shell out $70 per license if/when ST3 is ever released (now that half our team has dropped it anyway). Guess what you said about not relying on "public opinion" includes your own.
Ask HN: What are some efficient ways of learning a new programming langauge?
What are some strategies people on HN employ to learn and retain as much of the syntax, concepts and intricacies of a new programming language?

I always find learning a new programming language harder and cumbersome, compared to learning a new spoken language.

How, if at all, do you successfully employ methods like "spaced repetition" (Anki), "memory palaces", note taking and exercises?
In a nutshell, how does one learn and retain as much of a new programming language in an efficient way?
Do banks really need a blockchain?
Sublime does keyboard macros that make my life easier which VSC and its add-on don't have. Now if Sublime had a option to delete trailing whitespace every time I hit return, I could return to my PFE days of macro productivity.

When I start doing coding and text manipulation again, it looks like it will be Sublime I purchase.
That last part seems very specific. Any particular example you are thinking about?

No, conhost.exe is (since Vista, prior to that it was a part of csrss). cmd.exe is simply the default command-line shell. To disprove your guess here, you can just observe the processes existing when running console applications. There's one conhost for each console window, but unless you run cmd, there'll be no cmd instances.

Windows didn't have a terminal emulator until recently anyway, as Windows console applications use the console APIs to change cursor position, color, etc. instead of having that API as part of the text stream that's output by applications.

You made me spit coffee.
Forced labor is labor that goes outside of the normal housekeeping routine for prisoners. It's really not that hard to make that distinction, you could even do it through the bookkeeping department: any time the prison or its operators are compensated directly or indirectly by outside parties for work done by prisoners that's forced labor too.

Keeping their cell and spaces they use voluntarily clean: not forced labor, just housekeeping. Keeping common spaces clean: forced labor, the operating of the prison itself is at the expense of the state.

If prisoners are allowed to do any of that work they should be compensated at market rates to make sure there is no unfair competition.
Propriety is a poor excuse to let others control the conversation. From what I've seen, Dries and the Drupal Association have not invited good faith dialogue, quite the opposite. He's edited his statements silently and has subtly shifted his position (first a conflict about values, then about reported behavior). Comments remain moderated and reasonable ones have not been allowed through when they contradict the party line [1]. Many questions that were raised have been handwaved away or ignored.

Using PR-speak to sound reconciliatory while doing the opposite is a game two can play at. It may not be nice, but it's better than trying to be reasonable against someone arguing in bad faith. That's a recipe for frog boiling and being a pushover. The idea isn't to endlessly escalate, it's to ensure both sides now have something to gain by cooperating and to lose by defecting.

Not really. The basic rule of economics is that you have to give something in order to get something. Inmates should be given a choice of working and making money so they can pay for their living or do nothing and starve to death - just like any other member of the society outside of prison.

What you're talking about is really a disproportion between amount of work they make (and value they produce) and the total amount of pay they receive for delivering that value.
To be fair I think I've seen one comment mention rust so far in this thread.
Note that in Northern Ireland, when the army killed civilians, individuals responsible were put on trial and even sometimes convicted. The anti-insurgency force was less lethal and more legally constrained than some US police forces.

(Remember that as a UK resident our TV coverage of NI was subject to state censorship, though. "Gerry Adams' words are spoken here by an actor" etc.)

The argument appears to be about whether to block adverts and whether this is ethical or not. The real reason for adverts is to pay for the site and its content.

I think the real argument should be about how we pay for content on a site and how to solve that problem instead of arguing about the adverts.

Why didn't HTTP 402 ever take off?
Personally I don't use "socially accepted conditions" slash "major media discussions" slash "global discussion" slash "hits on google" as "evidence" for sweeping claims I make about society, so the differentiation isn't the basis for any of my arguments.
Even more so if for all of the foreseeable future, nothing is keeping you from operating conventional cars in the outback.

> It is in relation to ad budgets.

Ad budgets are not fixed universal constants. If advertising becomes more effective then companies can and should spend more on it (and vice versa if it becomes less effective).

> Consumers only have so much attention span. It's been over-saturated for years

The fact that the OP remembered their electric razor example suggests otherwise.
So, I never dried my hands before handling my lenses - I'd wash them thoroughly, rinse them with tap water, then rinse my fingertips again with a little saline or lens cleaning solution. My intuition was that my hand towel was likely to be laden with bacteria - is this wrong?
So what is the end game with WSL? What is it that MS is actually trying to do?

I remember the NT POSIX subsystem, which was a bit of a joke. It was badly limited and just seemed to be a box ticking exercise to get past some government requirements (disclaimer: I don't actually know if that's true). Whatever the reason, we ended up having to port our POSIX software to NT because customers insisted it was POSIX complient. I did resent MS for the mess we got into.

I do believe MS has changed. They don't seem to be the conniving organisation they once were, but what does WSL bring to Windows?

Perhaps, they are just accepting that there is something inevitable about all that Linux software that is available out there, and Linux developers could now be supporting Windows with no actual effort. After all Apple have saved themselves a load of effort by using Netbsd. However, something makes me wary. Could we be looking at an attempt to replace the Linux kernal on the servers of the world?
Odd how the 2 groups have become so similar as of late.
According to a cop who fired shots and who, as always during such incidents, "forgets" to wear camera to backup his claims.
So what do you call it when the governments ask companies like Google and Facebook to "volunteer" (or else) to do censorship - and the companies do exactly that?
Ok so which entity was it in this case?

Also what can they do to humans, what are their capabilities, I guess is what I'm asking?
Vadik Marmeladov's manifesto, which was penned in 2016, instructs as a rule #2 to think 30 years ahead, and finishes with “We are year 2046 kids”. This is clearly a reference to this.
The first amendment only applies to the government, but it elucidates a natural right all people have, and thus forbids the government from tampering with it. Other people should also not tamper with it, but enforcing that is beyond the scope of the first amendment.

Free speech is a fundamental right, which is why every Western democracy at least pays lip service to the idea.
I think you're missing the point of how current targeted advertising works. The person paying for the advertising is the one choosing when/where to show it to you. They are intentionally getting in your way with something irrelevant, since it suits their campaign goals.

What you describe is a system where the consumer has control over how they are advertised to, but that only works when you are the one with power in the situation. If you use a service for free, like a website, your eyeballs are the service being sold, and the advertiser is going to utilise that service in his interest. That includes putting ads you "don't like" in front of you, that actually do influence your chances of buying that product, on average, in an upward trend.
It's in this light that WSL is particularly interesting ... it's like Microsoft asked a few people why they liked MacOS and they answered "Unix" ... so they've come up with an answer to that. It may be limited at the moment but it's not hard to see where it's going. Add to that it's an up-to-date version of Linux, vs Apple's ageing BSD fork ...

This isn't minimalism. The clothes themselves are of a minimalist art style, but the service is elitist and wasteful.

If you want to only have simple clothing, that's perfectly fine. If you don't want to have to spend a lot of thought on clothing, that's awesome! I'm the same way.

However, subscribing to an overpriced service that sends you clothing on a schedule is extremely wasteful. It's basically planned obsolescence in clothing form. It is just as simple to go find a few articles of clothing you really like and wear those until they are no longer wearable, then donate/sell and replace.

Minimalism is about maximizing the value out of things you own while minimizing their impact on your life. This accomplishes neither.
Then do you make any claims about sexual harassment at Uber? Have you objectively defined what sexual harassment is, or is that just a "socially accepted condition"? Would you be anti-SJW in saying that criticizing Uber is stupid because it's all based on socially accepted conditions?

You're just trying to undefine things you don't want to argue, and trying to Ayn Rand away the realities of social systems. Any social-issue motivated claim you're looking to make will be torn down by that same mechanism, if you choose to embrace it.
The GAFAs are terrible example of what happens in the industry. They have challenges and behaviors the vast majority of companies don't have.

But the world is still running because of millions of not-so-big companies. They have IT needs too.

Actually the majority of IT jobs are NOT at IT companies, but in regular companies that need IT like anybody.

I've been working in porn during my first 5 years and nobody cared. Actually most companies didn't even checked.
It's not that we don't want to pay for software, and I don't think that's what OP meant when he used the word "nonfree". It's just that we need the four freedoms in case the software takes a sudden turn in a direction we don't like.

Now you're going to ask: How is it possible to support the four freedoms and still charge for the software?

And my answer is: I have no idea, and I don't care. It's not my job to come up with a business model for you, I'm just stating my requirements.
Plenty of open source communities are political beyond user rights. If you believe NSA should be able to watch everybody all the time, Tor people will kick you out.

Gor is not just a flavor of porn, it is full philosophy of gender relationships. E.g. it does not just says "this gets me off", it says "this is nature of men/women, modern society is suppressing that nature and that is wrong". Some are in it for sex, but quite clearly others are in it because they believe in philosophy and attempt to live by it as much as possible/legal.

Is it possible to simultaneously believe that women are naturally submissive and happiest when they serve and simultaneously see leadership potential in women who is working under you? I dont know and I am glad that the question is not directly relevant to me.

However, if my boss would believe something like that, I guess I would have to either leave the company or accept I will be less likely to be promoted then male college of similar skills.

I have no idea whether Garfield is into Gor for kink or for gender philosophy nor whether that philosophy affected his leadership style. I dont care about whether he comes back or not. But, the more I looked into Gor the more it looked like way more then just another flavor of bdsm.
If you use discriminated union types - e.g. give them both a type key which is a unique string, then you don't need type guards as typescript is smart enough to understand that checking the type key does the type discrimination.

By powered, I don't mean to say the battery is the source of the energy it stores.

In analysing the effects of increased usage of electric transport, what's important is where new electricity generating capacity will come from. In the US that's primarily natural gas and solar. Coal generation has actually been decreasing.

Of course, that's not to say that if everyone suddenly started driving electric cars that all the new supply would be green energy.

However, even coal power stations taking into account powerline losses are more efficient than a typical car's engine, and in Western countries usually cleaner as far as particulate and nitrous oxide pollutants are concerned.
you're wrong, advertising targeting factors both these things.
What if learning "how to study" is just a way to distract yourself from learning the material? Finding a learning process might sound more fun and creative, but more than likely it will be a big waste of time. Fortunately, what you'll be learning from your study work is more likely to be useful and more fact-based than learning how to study, which is primarily opinion-based.

If I was to create a study guide I wouldn't tell the student anything they should be doing, but rather ask questions that lead them back to their source material:

* What are you learning about currently?

* Why do you find it challenging?

* Why is it important?

* What is the general idea?

Learning by applying some memorization technique sounds boring to me, in comparison to curiosity-based learning using socratic/thoughtful questioning. Instead of responding to study work with a fight-or-flight response, asking questions allow you to break out of that fearful mindset and start to examine the topic and as you ask questions about it you'll start to find little bits of interesting knowledge in it.
It's talking about image synthesis. Yes, a big part of that is creating a picture from other pictures, but there is also intelligent inference from sensors and other data sources besides CCDs.

You're right that the idea isn't a good fit for instances like the ones you described, but I think it certainly has applications. For one thing, you could potentially synthesize an image of a part of a city from a particular era taken from a point of view that no actual photograph was taken from. Instead, it's a synthesis of contemporary photos with inferences made from contemporary weather data, contemporary maps, potentially drawings, etc. It's an exciting idea.

This is what I thought of immediately. Cayce Pollad Units:

> CPUs for the meeting, reflected in the window of a Soho specialist in mod paraphernalia, are a fresh Fruit T-shirt, her black Buzz Rickson's MA-1, anonymous black skirt from a Tulsa thrift, the black leggings she'd worn for Pilates, black Harajuku schoolgirl shoes. Her purse-analog is an envelope of black East German laminate, purchased on eBay if not actual Stasi-issue then well in the ballpark.
She sees her own gray eyes, pale in the glass, and beyond them Ben Sherman shirts and fishtail parkas, cufflinks in the form of the RAF roundel that marked the wings of Spitfires.
CPUs. Cayce Pollard Units. That's what Damien calls the clothing she wears. CPUs are either black, white, or gray, and ideally seem to have come into this world without human intervention.
What people take for relentless minimalism is a side effect of too much exposure to the reactor-cores of fashion. This has resulted in a remorseless paring-down of what she can and will wear. She is, literally, allergic to fashion. She can only tolerate things that could have been worn, to a general lack of comment, during any year between 1945 and 2000. She’s a design-free zone, a one-woman school of anti whose very austerity periodically threatens to spawn its own cult.

My theory is that the next version of Windows is going to use the Linux kernel. They can keep Windows 10 going for a few years yet (maybe up to 5?). That will give them time to work on cross-platform .NET, so new development will be an easy switch, and good quality Win32 emulation, which will be built someway on the work done on Wine.

Mainframe DASD is the same as "X86" disks, at least for those using "storage arrays".

Pretty much all the smaller Mainframes are gone, many years ago. I've not heard of any successful replacement of a loaded system which used fewer than three times the initial projection of "X86-power".

Anyway, time will tell. In 10 years' time you'll still think X86 is faster and there'll still be Mainframes.

This could be so much more useful than it currently is. If anyone has used Microsoft Visio you know what a pain it is to find symbols while searching through a library, especially if it isn't associated with a common noun.

Perhaps they'll be integrating this type of technology into an actual useful product in the future, like a Google Drive version of Visio?
