The probability that humans prevent a future planetary mass-extinction event from celestial impact, divided by the probability that horseshoe crabs prevent such an event is so large that it might as well be infinity. Horseshoe crabs don't even have a theoretical plan. They don't even have a Hollywood blockbuster movie about it.

So from a planetary ecosystem perspective, every species on Earth not directly involved with humans or horseshoe crabs should prefer to force the horseshoe crabs to help the humans in some way whenever they are able to do so. Those species should also prefer that humans not make horseshoe crabs extinct, just in case that they might be the critical link in some "for lack of a nail" causality chain which prevents humans from preventing the mass-extinction event.

It's very much like forbidding a brilliant researcher from doing his or her own cooking and laundry. You hire a less-brilliant assistant to take care of all mundane needs, so that the researcher is thinking about your important problem at peak efficiency.

Besides that, the guaranteed-to-work plan for dealing with a massive meteor strike is to transplant additional copies of Earth's ecosystems to other planets. If you build a Mars colony, and ship enough seeds and embryos there, you have prevented the extinction event, even if you couldn't do anything about the meteor impact.
You'd also think someone would realize that having better sunscreen does probably not nearly offset the 19000 miles round trip of fuel burnt for a trip from NYC to Indonesia.

Sorry, didn't mean to pick on you. I just get frustrated when people saw anything remotely "save the planet" and then tell me about their massively polutting air travel to distance lands.
Right.. but far back up, the poster (not the one I replied to, which is just agreeing) stated that regulations got us into the mess by allowing a cap of ~$1300. But regulations don't stop the airlines from offering higher, and neither does the non-existence of regulations stop airlines from independently capping at ~$1300.

So back to the point, how is it correct that regulations got us into this mess of ~$1300 capping?

The Wii and Wii sports was a freakshow level of success. It tapped into a lot of things Nintendo simply is not going to be able to reproduce: aging gamers with few casual gaming outlets, the novelty of motion controls, half the cost of a xbox/ps, etc.

It really had no competitors. PS Move, while a nice technical effort, came too late and didn't have the developer support needed. The Kinect failed also for the same reasons on top of lacking a holdable controller so Kinect-games were ultimately forced to be super simple as waving and moving around can only do so much.

The Wii U had these types of games and they didn't blow up like the original Wii. I think its fair to say no one expected the Wii to take off like it did and unrealistic to expect Nintendo to follow the same formula and to get the same results. If anything, motion control games died fairly quickly as the fad ran itself out and are only coming back now as a much needed accessory for pricey VR systems.
The primary reason I never really used Sublime is that it is not Open Source. I am happy with Emacs at the moment.
Certainly the hotel industry's lobbying is self-interested, but I wouldn't say it's entirely against consumer interest.

Sure, travelers are interested in paying the lowest price for the best accommodation, but the needs of residents are often conflicting with that.

There are reasons that zoning laws exist, and that I couldn't just decide to buy a house and turn it into a hotel in many places. But that's essentially what Airbnb allows.

There's always an important balance between regulation, and freedom, and I'm certainly not arguing for outlawing Airbnb. But in this case that self-interest of the hotel industry might be aligned closely with the self-interest of residents in the communities where Airbnb operates.
>There is a weapon durability system, but it's actually a super well-designed thing to keep the pace of the game active and frantic

I actually disagree with it being well designed. The weapons are too common and break so frequently I feel like I'm playing a weapon changing simulator. They have never been a limitation and I have never worried about finding a new weapon to use. However I do find myself constantly having to bring up the menu to change weapons. I have 12 weapon slots and pretty much every slot is a knight's claymore or guardian weapon.

Once you get to the point of farming the world minibosses you'll never find yourself wanting of a good weapon. Hinox and Lynel have good weapon drops and they drop pretty frequently.

I feel as though weapons should have been made more rare but more durable so that there were times when you wouldn't have a weapon because they were rare to come across and you'd second guess yourself about using your weapons on lesser mobs like red moblins or keese.

I find myself needing shields more often than weapons - since I like to go Guardian hunting and I kill them exclusively with shield parries. One or two missed parries and my shield is destroyed. While I rarely miss the parry anymore, it does still happen.
5 Solid Tips for Reducing the Cognitive Load of Your Code
I'm not sure where the "corporate America" thing comes from, other than your own prejudices about how other people work. I've only ever worked for early-stage startups.

I work by the 40-hour rule most weeks because I have experience and know how to run a team. Inexperienced (or short-sighted) managers burn themselves and their employees out by planning poorly. I used to do that myself. Now I don't make anyone work more than 8 hours a day, and we deliver a working iteration of our product every week.

I'd love for my 40-hour rule to become zero hours (only doing "work" that I enjoy and is meaningful to me), because life isn't about work.

The market response (at least in Europe, after liberalising the common airspace) has been the rise and utter domination of LCC airlines. Point-to-point flights, standardised aircraft, super low fares and great coverage. The success of the model is now creeping in to medium/long haul routes with Norwegian (and very recently IAG) leading the charge.

If you talk to airlines, the "cartel" they fear are the distribution gatekeepers (GDS providers and OTAs like Priceline and Ctrip). This world is rapidly changing too though with the arrival of NDC and airlines investing in their own direct to channel APIs (a practice, incidentally, pioneered by LCCs).

I have used XXX (and ZZZ) in my own code because they are the only tokens that satisfy these 3 things.

1. It stands out clearly visually in the code.

2. It is not normally a keyword, variable or string in my code.

3. I can type it quickly and comfortably using only my left hand and two fingers, while my right hand controls the cursor to navigate (or is moving to the keyboard after cursor navigation).

I usually start typing it during the interval as my right hand begins moving left over the keyboard to prepare to type the comment that will follow.

I suspect XXX and ZZZZ are not simply conventions that are picked up by exposure to other people's code, I think they represent a local maximum of convenience for these three criteria.

Try typing any other token (e.g. TODO) and see if it satisfies these criteria as well as XXX or ZZZ.
Cannabis can also induce paranoia and disordered thinking, as you appear to be demonstrating.
VMs have their place, but a lot of what kind of built the OpenStack hype engine - dynamic workload deployment and multitenant-style management - also is what driving the (also partly aspirational) deployment of containers.

The thing is, though, they are at odds. Enterprises don't have nearly the dynamic workload set that people thought but where they legitimately have some is in devops style development. And if you have container management, which you do, then highly dynamic VM management is much less valuable.

Given how BotW is the most profitable thing for Nintendo since the Wii, I’m sure they’ve got every available developer and their mother working on the holiday DLC.

Yes, just look for the most popular plugins. Or try using a popular "dotfiles" configuration, compare it with a raw Vim and it's really slow. With sublime you can have a lot of plugins and it doesn't affect the speed.
Note that this is in the 600MHz band, in the US only, and will require new frontends and related changes in order for phones to take advantage of this spectrum.

I kinda doubt it will "shape the future of the Internet" though.
>The status quo is rarely a sufficient argument

And I didn't say it is. My answer was to the parent who singled-out Apple as somehow special in neglecting this.
It's sourcing the Sun, who are probably editorializing quite a bit.
In 20 years of coding, the use of vim or emacs has never quite clicked with me. I get that they're infinitely scriptable but the basic experience of using them just seems so miserable. Sublime is one of my favorite programs ever, for the reason that I so rarely have to think about it or wait for it. Some of the best money you'll ever spend, in my view.
But we aren't given the option to pay a proportionally higher fare for proportionally higher quality. Higher fare classes aren't +20%, +30%, they're 3x, 4x, 10x.

There are "I only shop on price" seats and "money is no object" seats. I wish we had more of a middle, beyond the usual +$150 for an exit row or +$100 for a regular economy seat, but in the forward half of the plane.
For me: XXX is for putting into log messages you want to grep for while debugging. They get commented or turned into useful log messages before committing/merging.

Edit: I have never used them for comments... Those either have TODO/FIXME or are (hopefuly) useful explanation of the high level task the code is trying to accomplish

Cloud Foundry is built on technologies that predate k8s, but yes, containerisation is the unit of operational currency.

I think when 99% of the country is Muslim, your position is not very defensible. You talk about finding "a group of people who are ignored in one way or another". It just so happens that in Turkey this group of people is composed of rural dwellers and their chief concern is to force the urban women to cover up and to squash all of the urban dwelling infidels. This is the identity characteristic that Erdogan embraced, and to claim that Islam doesn't have much to do with it is misleading at best.
Agreed. I don't use airbnb anymore like i don't use United. While I haven't been beaten, Airbnb does very little to ensure a good experience. It's as safe and trust worthy as a Craigslist listing.

Their customer service is abysmal and will not refund bad experiences. I see Airbnb as having a high churn rate business.
>It's easy to get away with it if you don't have an extradition treaty with the US.

I'll assume that you're not just being facetious here. As the father of new twins, I can tell you that just keeping track of the state of a single baby is hard, it's more than doubly hard with twins. Has Joe eaten yet? What boob is Bob on? Have you changed Tom's diaper yet? Does Ben need to burp still? While each of these questions has very little long term consequence, each one can have very serious short term psychological impacts on the parents. When you're already over stressed and sleep deprived, missing something as simple as a diaper change can cause a catastrophic failure mode (aka crying) that interrupts the one rem cycle you were gonna have that night.

So, keeping track of which baby is which ends up being essential for mental health.
I had a second look at the proposed changes, there are 2 important ones regarding judicial matters, the change for constitutional court is mainly removing 2 members selected from military judges.

I certainly can appreciate that their brand of humor isn't for everyone, but if you do get a chance (and care to give it a second chance), here's a small list of the episodes that are, in my opinion, worth the time to watch:

3) I Was a Teenage Werewolf
4) The Mole People
5) Prince of Space
6) The Skydivers
7) Angels Revenge

Zoning laws and renting contracts apply. Prosecute accordingly.

Parent post was complaining about customer-hostile rental agreements, and high prices. I focused on that.

My read on the OP is that hotels are just trying to crush the competition period, using/abusing whatever laws to squeeze ABB out of the area, if not ban 'em entirely, solely for monopolistic intentions.

I have little sympathy for housing-crunched cities. Supply of square footage is limited, demand becomes extremely high, and the only "friction" available to limit occupancy is price. Let the price drive creation of new [sub]urban areas, relieving pressure on prior areas and attracting new viable productivity.

Most areas have suitable health & safety regulations; adjust accordingly to enhance health & safety, not as an excuse to drive out competition.
You could be right that we are only looking at variations that are rare. I'm not an expert so I would give the scientists the benefit of the doubt.

I guess it depends on what you consider to be the "natural" regulation-free state of things.

Without this regulation, would airlines be able to bump people involuntarily with no compensation at all? If so, then the regulation is a clear improvement.

Or would airlines be unable to bump people involuntarily without this regulation, being required to offer potentially unlimited compensation? If this was the case, then the regulation gets a huge share of the blame for this.

I'd think it would me more like the second one here, but I could be wrong.
I see, I thought you were originally suggesting that Go compilations were slow but I understand you are saying that with Go we got fast compile times but a lot the other benefits of Oberon/Wirth were left on the table.

Air travel is so safe because people have a disproportionate amount of care towards it.

The amount of regulation comes from that, as does the industry embracing safer procedures by itself.

#1 Reason: Blogs aren't included in the publication count which is needed to gain research funding, get hired as a professor and get tenure.

A bit cynical, but a lot of the problems the writer suggests are more of a symptom of trying to get as many papers out as possible than the cause (and that one rarely reviews the supplementary material). If scientific blogs counted like publications many of the same problems would appear there.

"Why I'm no longer using vim and now using X" typically result from not digging into Vim enough. All the issues the OP is having have been resolved from either updates to vim, switching terminals, or just understanding vim basics.

NOTE: Plugs can be slow and the OP is correct that some are hacky, but typically there's the Vanilla Vim solution to a problem that takes a little bit of reading and/or finding to solve.

If plugin/loading speed is really an issue then switch to using Alacritty and Neovim, use vim-plug for async & lazy loading plugins. You get truecolor support and you're using your GPU to render everything. If plugin speed is still a problem, learn why they're loading slowly, then dig into why rather than just saying "they're hacky or clunky". Silver search is great, but if you understand how to execute terminal commands from vim (:!) then you can grep everything and remove the need for silver search. I use FZF (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) which is another fuzzy searcher that's optimized for speed, built with Go.

For those that don't want to put in the time to optimize and learn vim, then by all means switch editors. But don't blame the editor ("I will not use shitty software just because it’s open source.") unless it's truly the root of the problems, explore and find better ways. A key thing to remember as a Vim user is there's always a faster way and your .vimrc will always be different from another's.

Edit: For those interested in my setup (https://github.com/hhsnopek/dotfiles/blob/master/.nvimrc)
