I would agree with you, except I really do feel like NeoVim has fixed nearly every big problem I've had with Vim.

There were definitely hackey things you had to do with regular Vim, but NeoVim adds a much better interface for plugins and lets you use whatever languages you'd like for making plugins...Not to mention that it has had proper async support for years now, much before regular Vim got it.

Using NeoVim, I can still do all my work in the terminal with tmux, and have the interface that I'm familiar with. Sublime is a great editor, and I use it as a quick little "paste-buffer", but I don't really feel I'm as productive with it as I am with my NeoVim + tmux combo.
you seem unable to distinguish between principled arguments from the left and your own obsession with 20th century authoritarianism.
There is a lot of competition. The article gets it backwards. It is the immense competition caused by consumers who fly mostly based on the lowest cost fare.
> Florida also has some of the most liberal information laws on the books. That's why we look so crazy.

I think this bears emphasis: Pretty much every crime report provided to or made by the police within Florida, silly or sublime, is available to the public [1]. This is a gold mine for people who want to run a "stranger than fiction" web site. It could distort one's view of what Florida is like.

Nintendo has a real chance of dominating Christmas this year, if they get Mario Odyssey and Zelda DLC right. For that reason, the latter will be pure fan service, I think.

Do we know already what AAA games will be released on PS and Xbox during that period?
Uh. You do realize that Mediawiki, powering nearly all wiki systems including Wikipedia, is written in PHP. Or Facebook, they were able to go with PHP for iirc 500 M users?

PHP is in any case a better choice, performance-wise, than Python or, god forbid, Java.

Nah. Look where coup d'états happen, it's invariably in states without a strong democratic system, with a leader who has power to prevent fair elections.

Belated response:

I've done a fair amount of tech writing.

Documentation always takes me as long or longer than designing, coding.

Most recently, when I released a novel layout manager, the docs, examples, screenshots, etc took roughly twice as much effort as everything else combined.
Maybe not fanatic, but a bit weird?

"One cannot be secular and a Muslim."

To go to the reverse route, I'm a SublimeText and Vim user that's debating going back to pure vim.

Much of the functionality that I used ST for I found Vim could do naturally, with no plugins. This presentation taught me alot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TX3kV3TICU), such as basic command completion.

There is some stuff that Sublime can still do that I don't think Vim can (multi-cursor editing comes to mind, and that's still really handy when I'm making edits to HTML). Other stuff can be done by both but I happen to like ST's better (the awesome GitHub package comes to mind).

And finally, I did pay $70 for an ST license, so I imagine I'll keep using it for another few years or so. But given that I do alot of remote administration on RHEL/CentOS boxes where vim is the only thing I can safely assume to be installed, it doesn't hurt to stay fluent in vim for such a day.
I haven't looked at it in years, but that hodge-podge of material was more than enough to provide an executive with the basics that they needed to know to manage an IS organization which IMO is the goal of the certificate. As others have mentioned, it is a management cert, not one for normal use.

There are plenty of worse certificates out there - I would argue that the CEH is probably the worst one at the moment (although they are making some changes to improve)

If you estimate the value of everything at "priceless," then it's impossible to make decisions which necessarily involve tradeoffs. Quantification lends specificity to complex systems.

For some reason, I use "zck" (my initials) for meta-comments in code, mainly instead of "TODO", but also for TODOs that aren't just code, as in (https://bitbucket.org/zck/zpresent.el/src/08ae558834c25ebca8...):

After a comment explaining some math:

;;Add one here so that we round away from zero. We want to have more whitespace on the left than the right side.

I then have a comment to think about if that makes sense to do:

;;zck is this what's wanted?

I haven't set up the rules for doing this explicitly, but have a pretty intuitive understanding as to when I should do this. In some ways, this is instead of using a real issue system -- which I also do, but not for everything.
I was ready to throw money at it until a friend of mine told me I had to farm some sticks to get weapons because it wears out. Can you confirm ?
I agree but I also don't think its fair to assume this doesn't damage them. Humans and crabs are not the same so I don't think unless you are a subject matter expert you should be drawing conclusions like this.

The couple "found another passenger sleeping sprawled across their seats after they were the last to board the flight".

They moved to other empty seats. They didn't go to first class or business class, they simply took other empty economy seats. They may not even have known the difference between various economy seats. The majority of airlines in the world don't differentiate economy seats.

United should have asked the sprawling passenger to unsprawl, and punish the sprawling passenger if necessary, not the couple.

The Economist's democracy index disagrees, putting Azerbaijan into the "Authoritarian" index. And apprently their President is in power since 2003, which is usually not a good sign.

Iran certainly cannot be called a full democracy, the religious council has to approve candidacies for President - it isn't even clear if the current President Rouhani can pose as a candidate!

But there are some Muslim democracies working better, like Indonesia and Malaysia.
Is it even illogical?

If you can compete better right now by doing X, at the cost of your business 30 years down the road, the incentives, long and short, probably line up with doing X. As an individual, you do it, and hope that in 30 years, you've earned enough to retire or transition to another revenue form. If you go the sustainable route, as someone else pointed out, you likely get out-competed by someone who didn't, and have to find an alternative livelihood even sooner. It's a snowballing issue, where even modest benefits in the short term actually result in massive benefits in the long term, despite a long term penalty.

So, the only way to align incentives with long-term, is for penalties to be applied short-term for behaviors that will impact an industry long-term. Otherwise every individual decision-maker has to weigh whether they are better off making their money and moving on versus trying to compete with a handicap long enough for the long haul.
The Switch is a huge hit among Nintendo fans, but it's no surprise they turned out for the best Zelda game in years. The real test of the Switch is if Nintendo can keep it stocked with more first- and third-party games than the Wii U had. If the Switch has a robust library in a year, then it'll be a real contender.
I've stayed at AirBNBs before but I guess they're previously always been booked by someone else, because when I tried to find a condo in Whistler a few months ago, I ran into the same problem.

AirBNB had some nice UI elements, made it easy to visualize property locations relative to each other, etc, but in the end VRBO just worked out a lot better and seemed less sketchy.
>Fine if you want to risk your own life that way, but we've decided as a society that renting a hotel room means extra safety requirements and checks to protect the guests.

Sorry, how did "we as a society" decide that? Governments are deciding the things you're talking about. What we as a society can do, is post and read reviews on hotels and Airbnb rentals, and we certainly do this.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to point out! I'm not providing a solution, but merely saying that it's folly to treat all regulation as the enemy of free markets.
I think the problem is much deeper than that. There is not enough of a democratic process in the EU. It would have benefitted from an approach with much more direct democracy. Because then there is no favoritism, and people realize that they have it in their own hands.
One of the Number 1 complaints of people who pay for Economy Plus is that airlines sometimes let regular people sit there. Basically, if I paid more for this, why don't they have to?

I think it was justified that they got removed.

Also, if not the police, then who should remove unruly passengers? In the original case it was rather bad policy that caused all the issue, but in general, who else should do this?
While playing the wii-u titles I don't recall ever saying 'this game would be more fun if only the graphics were better'.

The hit Nintendo took by selling an underpowered console was loosing 3rd party support, as it was reportedly too much effort for folks like EA to support a platform that was so far behind their other supported consoles.

I wonder if history will repeat with the next generation of xbox/ps around the corner. If switch sales continue at this pace, I suspect not.
Reading the fourth entry on parenthesis matching made me wonder whether one could store, in the monoid, partials views into the table that is generated by CYK parsing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYK_algorithm

I love the idea of using monoids like they're described in the blog series, but the examples suggest that there's a certain amount of non-generalizable cleverness that goes into defining each monoid. Could you do CYK subtables inside the monoid, so that people can define arbitrary CF grammars, as long as they're in Chomsky normal form?

They have an interest in a large server ecosystem in general, with options for running your own infrastructure, because it's a lot more profitable for them to sell server CPUs to many companies that don't have as much options to pressure them on price as e.g. Amazon can, and to get their special features integrated so they can use them as arguments against other CPU vendors. They don't care as much which option wins, so it makes sense to be involved with anything that seems important.

Do you believe internalizing these costs into the price of energy is sufficient to reach a sustainable equilibrium between the environment and the economy?

Well, don't keep us in suspense. What do you think the reasons are for... first, describe the phenomenon under discussion because I think that is the first challenge.
This. Voting is essentially always "setup" i.e. the people who make maximum use of the power usually bet on both sides, albeit slightly differently. Since they know it's either one or the other, it doesn't really matter to them who really wins. They have necessary control of the situation no matter what happens.

If you don't frame your life in a way that whoever wins matters to you very less, you are doing something wrong. If that is already the case, your vote doesn't count at all. It's one vote. The chance of your vote actually affecting the outcome of the election is so small that you might as well buy a lottery ticket instead.

If however, you have the power to convince a large enough group of people to sway the election to one side or another, you should sell some of that influence to whoever is offering more money or favors to you.
I was very concerned about it last year, starting into the corporate job hunt at age 41, where I'd quit my last regular tech job at age 28, doing freelancing, startups (just coding, not as founder or anything), some long-term travel and misc piddling in the interim.

I had no problem at all. Got on site interviews at three of the "big four", some big industrials, some smaller companies, and a couple better-than-I-expected job offers. Maybe I got lucky or maybe it's typical, but that's my one point of reference.

The org I'm in, I'd say I'm slightly older than the others at my level, but not a ton. And it seems pretty fluid, I think within 2-3 years I'll "catch up" to the level I'd have been at if I'd not taken all that time off.
I think it's better for them. The IDF was used to showcase new products. If they have no new significant products to show, it's better not to summon anyone instead of getting the flak for introducing only minor evolutions as it has happened in the past few years with the (dying?) tick-tock model.

> Have you never tried asking a hotel reception for local recommendations?

Hotel receptions are generally trained to only present you the major tourist attractions. An AirBnB host, or a host from a hospitality-exchange community, that you have chosen due to common interests or lifestyles is more likely to be able to recommend niche-interest things like live music, art galleries, or second-hand bookshops. In one Middle Eastern country I got to attend a local wedding celebration over two days because my AirBnB host was one of the relatives and it would be fine for him to bring a couple of foreign guests, but the same opportunity probably wouldn’t have come if I had stayed in a hotel.
Yes, NeoVim is definitely an improvement over regular Vim. Hopefully more people will begin to use NeoVim and make it the standard going forward.

Until vim 8, everything in vim ran in a single thread with little or no cooperative multitasking. So if you have a handful of plugins that do any non-trivial thing with the contents of a buffer in real time - dynamic syntax highlighting, running an external process or other such things - pretty soon those milliseconds add up and there is a visible delay between your typing and the on-screen cursor. Vim 8's background tasks were created precisely to deal with these sort of problems.

They're playing the game to the best of their abilities by the rules set by the government. It's most convenient to think about this game-theoretically: assume companies will always optimize their profit, and then adjust public policy until unilateral economic self-interest aligns with the public / environmental good.

You missed Red Hat, who seem to be the only company having major success with OpenStack [1]

Most of IBM, Intel, HPE etc have thrown in the towel and now offer their own services on top of Red Hat OpenStack.

OpenStack has now found itself beyond enterprise, and now being the de-facto platform for NFV running mobile networks, and I guess Red Hat are becoming the winner here as they are so used to supporting an OpenStack 'type of' infrastructure for large bodies such as banking, telco, health etc. When you consider Red Hat are already large well established contributors to all of the layers of the OpenStack 'stack' such as KVM/QEMU , libvirt, the kernel itself, + overlay networking tech such as OVS, and now DPDK, you can see why they are well positioned to support and run OpenStack clouds.

I don't think calling it DLC is fair. Back before the DLC craze, this would have simply been an "Expansion".

The core game is so good, so expansive, that it doesn't bother me in the slightest that there's upcoming "DLC". Don't get me wrong - I hate the trend in general, but in this case it's not a bad thing.

Edit: Ok, I realize that they even call it DLC on zelda.com, but my point still stands: these are expansions. The kind gamers used to get excited about.

What I don't see from this article which I would think is an important data point: are they making the same pay as if they worked 8 hours or are they getting paid less?

I don't see how you can say they cost less without that data point.

Additionally, the health care difference would only make them cheaper for the employer (at least in the US) if the insurance companies gave discounts for working 6 hour days. If the 6 hour day people and the 8 hour day people are in the same pool it wouldn't actually save the company money (just the insurance companies)

You may very well be right. I don't know the situation well enough to tell. But downvoted because you called out gp for lies without giving a single counter-argument.
Oh, so it's our fault that we asked for decades (while putting a lot of money there in EU lost funds) that:

- Turkey brought their legal institutions to the modern times

- that Turkey showed more respect for democratic and humanistic principles

- that Turkey respected more the civil rights of their citizens

- that Turkey respected their ethnic minorities (like the Kurds)

- Turkey recognized a member of the EU as an actual country (Cyprus).

And then, after Turkey failed yet, and yet again to address all those problems and we told them patiently yet again, that they needed to address those problems and they still didn't, they decided they are not going to really try and reverted the little work they had done.

And you come and blame the EU for wanting Turkey to become a country that actually respects the right of its own citizens.

How could we be so heartless, right?
