Well, everybody is free to switch editors as they like and I respect that. I've been using Vim non-stop for as much time as it has existed but I sometimes like to try other editors from time to time to see what cool features they have (which I add to Vim when I'm back since certainly somebody somewhere emulated them as Vim plugins), and I use IntelliJ for Java.

But the reasons of this article are pretty shallow. The article is screaming either "I'm really bad at googling stuff" or "I just want to switch to Sublime but I don't want to think about good reasons".

Let's see:

- "CtrlP doesn't work very well for me". Well, there is also Unite, FZF.vim (the one that I use after using several of these fuzzy openers) and others.

- "Syntastic is not asynchronous": http://lmgtfy.com/?q=vim+syntax+check+asynchronous

- "Relativenumber slowed Vim down": that bug what fixed in 2014, I think. Anyway I use relative numbers and don't have any problem (with an updated Vim).

- "Vim doesn't autoreload files if I tell him to do it". How Vim's programmers dare setting a default different from what the article author wants! And they even add an option to add insult to the injury! I find Vim default behavior of WARNING you that the file has changed but not auto reloading perfectly reasonable. It has saved my day several times for example.

- "I want better font rendering and more than 256 colors". Well, I use Linux instead of a Mac, but it also have a HiDPI screen (3200x1600 and external 4K monitor) and Vim font rendering works perfectly both in GVim and on console Vim using Konsole or Tilix (the terminal emulators that I've used recently). GVim DO display more than 256 colors by default and console Vim also does since 8.0 with "set termguicolors" if the terminal emulator supports it.

- "I don't miss any Vim commands with Sublime Vim emulation". Good for you, but this tells me that you were a very basic Vim user. Last time I checked Sublime lacked :global, :normal and a lot other things that are the bread and butter of any proficient Vim user.
China’s Social-Media Smoke Screen
IE it's hard to set regulations without being a subject matter expert. Most of the subject matter experts work in the industry to be regulated and we don't trust them to self-regulate and/or we just ignore subject matter experts in cases when we should listen to them.
You mean when the database is well indexed? Yes. SQLite supports Full Text Search (https://sqlite.org/fts5.html) which builds all the indexes for you, allowing you to perform search-engine-like functionality.

But you're right, it does require more attention towards index construction for site owners.
I'm strongly considering Spacemacs or evil mode having seen some of the cool things emacs can do, but aside from that, no text editor has ever grabbed me like vim. n++, Sublime, Atom, VS Code - I just don't achieve the same level of flow with any of them.
Manticore – Concurrent, Parallel, ML-Like Language
We should do nothing, because while interesting, this is a nonevent. Parts of that article are wildly exaggerated or outright incorrect, trying to make this sound like some big deal. It's really not.

Sometimes in nature, things happen quickly. Look up glacial surge, for example. Just because a river dried up basically overnight because it got beheaded, it doesn't mean there's some global catastrophe playing out. It just means the glacier receded to a point where the terrain favored the other branch.
I think it is also unfair to neighbors who didn't realize they were moving into a home right next to someone who has a revolving door of tourists like a hotel. If you know there is a hotel on your street and you choose to live where you live, then that's your choice. But Airbnb makes it possible for anyone to turn your little street into something unexpected, especially in touristy areas, and I don't think that's right.
> The great thing about the free market is you get the choice.

Have you ever looked at the AirBNB rating system? It's a disaster. Five stars or get abuse. Without a trustable rating system here you won't get a free market.
Some do by choice, as part of the gameplay and part of the feel of the world.

Some do by accident, for example if you can proceed to the next location in the game without an object you need to solve the challenge in it and without the ability to return to the previous one.
Hostels are also a way to meet other travellers though - that is a lot harder to do in a hotel. I find travelling alone for extended periods can become a bit lonely
I think the point is that many of these technologies wouldn't be implemented or would be done so poorly were there no regulation.
I prefer now to do a 30-min Pump followed by a 30-min HIIT class (e.g. GRIT or cycling), or vice versa. I still do 60-min "full" Pump classes, but definitely not my first preference for how to spend an hour at the gym, as I like more overall variety. I should note that I got so into Les Mills that I went on to become a certified instructor, so I'm a little biased.

The pop music in Pump can get a little tiresome, I actually agree with you there. FWIW, the music in their GRIT and SPRINT formats is much edgier and some of the quarterly releases even feature original music produced exclusively for those formats.

Les Mills classes are definitely not a long-term fit for everyone. I do, though, encourage folks to give them a try, especially if they don't have any kind of fitness regimen and/or they're struggling to stay regular with their solo workouts.
Ask HN: How to prep for a technical interview with 8 study hours?
This is my first technical interview! I code in Python daily, and that will be the language of the interview. I am self taught but have learned most of the foundational algorithms and data structures concepts at least one time. However it's been a while since I had to really think about them. I've been working in a software developer role for about two years.

Any advice on good resources out there for a short time frame would be great!
While I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, it comes across as saying that only coding ability matters. (You might not have intended it to come across that way, but it can easily be interpreted as such.) Going on that interpretation... surely part of hiring them to write software generally (but perhaps not necessarily always) includes things like ability to effectively work, and communicate, with others.
Well for the MIFID-II regulations coming out this year, you need to support at least microsecond precision for audit purposes.

And if you're doing microseconds, why not go for the full nanoseconds?
Particularly interested if something like this or LinearML could help with Ocaml's multicore problem. That it's still not multicore for whatever reason inspired me to dig into concurrent or parallel ML's with Manticore being best I saw.
Ordering the pixel data by their locations along a space-filling curve, maybe.
The big optimization would be avoiding full table scans or full table joins. That would be at the query level.
You probably won't avoid the fluctuating entirely, but the airline rep apparently will be more willing to cut you a good deal over the phone, versus the robot on Kayak or Priceline. Insofar as you can probably get the true value of the ticket over the phone rather than waiting out the automated prices on these sites. Its kind of strange if you ask me, but this is more of a new trend to get people to shy away from deal sites.
The wii is still really fun and quite different as gaming experience from regular consoles. I booted it up today just for fun and ended up playing mario galaxy for hours with my 5yo cheering me on. Playing my ps4 is also fun, but not as relaxing and definitely not as approachable.
The problem is at some point the gates start getting to the size of an atom. How do you get smaller than an atom? I don't think you can.
Apart from the (fairly valid IMO) political reasons, Firefox is still the king of UI customizability and good add-ons. Even without the old XUL system, there are add-ons like those at https://testpilot.firefox.com/ which modify the browser in pretty drastic ways. I can't really use a browser without some form of tabs-on-the-side these days.
i'm really confused about this.

i have upgraded (or my dad had anyways) from win 3.11 to win 95 and win 95 to 98. i think i clean installed win xp when i got a new computer but eventually i upgraded that to win 7.

all of them ran fine. or was that just not the norm?
MP3 is inherently a one dimensional codec, whereas JPEG is two dimensional. No wonder it performs much better.
I was on Facebook for a couple years, caught up with all my old High School classmates and a couple University classmates as well. Once I saw how everyone was doing Facebook lost interest to me. I got to the point where the only time I logged in to Facebook was to opt-out of some new option that automatically opted me into. It was easy to give it up and I haven't missed it since. That was probably 6 or so years ago.
The obvious question here is: what does JPEG encoded music sound like?
I "made" a set using different sized shot glasses for each piece, and different colors of alcohol for each side. No doubt I wasn't the first, nor the last to do so. Never managed to have everything line up in having a willing opponent, clean glasses, and an environment appropriate for getting drunk enough, so it remains unplayed.
I'm always a bit skeptical when someone defends an organization by saying it's non-profit. AFAIK, the only difference between non-profit and for-profit is that the owners of a non-profit don't get to keep them money for themselves per se, although they're just like for-profits in all other ways, including the ability to name their own salaries and waste money frivolously and use their resources inefficiently. I don't know how Mozilla works internally, but I'm not about to give them the benefit of the doubt without cause.

Also, where is Mozilla getting money from in the first place? They only offer free products. The last time I checked, they're getting most of their money from Google. That doesn't automatically mean Google has Mozilla in their pocket, but it's definitely a red flag.
Talking Bird Triggers Siri with “hey Siri”
All fitness advice assumes some context. It doesn't make it bad advice, just contextual. Part of the difficulty with communicating this info over the internet is that you can't see people's mechanics nor do they often give you their full situation. E.g., telling a 400 pound person that squatting is good for them is not the advice which should be prioritized and doesn't really make sense compared to other approaches. Telling a random dude on the internet that he needs more volume to hit 2x bodyweight deadlift might make sense until you learn that he's 5'8" 115 pounds and needs to get out of caloric deficit.

Additionally, the "form is key" part covers your point already. If you're doing it with proper form and you still get hurt then that's pretty weird, and not really on the parent.
>Yes, but the bill is totally ineffective for the average person and only helps the big players.

Any regulation that's over a sentence is too much for the lay person to bother reading or being aware of.

In the case of the airlines I've seen this a lot were consumers have a lot of opinions how things ought to be. They're oblivious to the consequences of their demands. They don't have a clue what the current regulations are, so can't really have an opinion whether they're good or not. They just assume any time they're mad, regulations must be bad.
I wonder at what point it will be cheaper to build more cell towers than to buy more spectrum.
Properties have been sublet and let on the black markets forever. airbnb is not changing much of that, only making it more visible.

Most airbnb landlords will quickly realize that it takes a huge amount of work to welcome guest for short stays, then they'll realize that they might loose a lot of money if not filled all the time.
I'm kinda wondering if this post was because of that, because I found the link in question and posted it there. It's kinda neat to see a possible circuitous route that something comes somewhere else with.
Show HN: Simple-slider – 1kb JavaScript Carousel
It's interesting that in almost every sleep related article I've read on HN, the overwhelming majority of people who respond about their personal life say that they hate getting up 'early'-for various definitions of early. Surely there are programmers who like getting up early?
Larger planes aren't significantly more fuel efficient. Look at the A380 vs. the 787.

The reason airlines thought hub and spoke was more profitable was because they could basically guarantee that every flight would be full. If a flight is only half full, you're lugging an entire airplane around for no reason which is very costly.

Hub and spoke is worse than airlines thought, though — newer planes like the 787 are far more efficient, so that cost of lugging the airplane around is reduced.
Vim Is the Perfect IDE
This is true in the US sometimes, but it varies wildly by state (and sometimes even city).

In places where you do have the option there are companies that very aggressively market w/ door-to-door salespeople to attempt to get consumers to lock in a static rate over X sum of years. Which, as far as I can tell... generally confuses/scares consumers so they don't even consider switching suppliers at all.
GQL2TS 1.0.0 and Beyond
If dead-end is defined as the article does:

... no "dead ends". I.e. all player actions will result in a state in which the game is still winnable

- then, yes, fairly common, although not always intentionally.
I think from the evolutionary perspective, being active during a time of low fitness gets punished. So if there was an adaption that tended to paralyze something when it was dark out, that gets selected for even though obviously given optimal decisions not being paralyzed is better. Which, if you think about it, is kind of what is happening with sleep.

So I imagine the trade-off isn't as severe as someone might guess; it's definitely theoretically possible to run entirely without sleep with the right hardware. For example, lets say sleep was fundamental to cognition. If you were willing to have redundant hardware, you could run two brains and just take turns sleeping them [1]. So that probably gives something of an upper-bound to efficiency.

The problem is that a lot of stuff is getting built on top of these things. Scheduled downtime is getting used by other adaptions. Things like handling 'garbage collection' or 'waste collection' inline get shunted away to the downtime to improve response times. This keeps happening. Over short periods there are going to be plenty of cases where being paralyzed isn't optimal. What if something shows in the night? Long term though if the creature is continually staying active when its at disadvantage that's really bad. So additional penalties accrue to force the issue.

Then the original 'purpose/benefit' starts getting lost. Things get messed up. Enough adaptions end up taking advantage of the fact that the downtime existed that now there is so much benefit to it for reasons unrelated to its initial creation that it starts becoming worth doing even at times where light levels aren't an issue.

So now when you try to mess with sleep, you're not just messing with one little thing. You're messing with a whole bunch of different entangled processes. One to reduce activity during periods where the sensors suck. Another to prevent continued activity when the sensors suck. Another that handles waste. Another that starts up ML algorithms during the downtime to take advantage of the freed-up processing. Another that does data backup. The muscles use the downtime to start construction. Basically all over the body everyone is starting to get to work.

It's like that tradeoff problem that gwern talks about with using notropics, where each one improves one thing but causes problems in other areas. So basically, it isn't a question of whether or not you need sleep from a theoretical process perspective. You don't, if you had a different design. But now sleep isn't just the reduce activity time because its night adaption. It's all tied up in everything else.

You shorten the amount you sleep? You die younger, because you cancelled the bodies maintenance period.

The 2nd screen makes a lot of games better, BotW would be much better with the 2nd screen showing inventory, maps etc.. Presumably that was how it was originally designed (Sheikha Slate) and they crippled it to favour the Switch?

That's part of good coding ability: Being able to understand the requirements and implement them
Yes, that's what I meant!

If the Ground Truth where the A then I'd implement my very own "optimal super-resolution" like this:

def optimal_super_resolution(A):
return A

It would be a huge breakthrough. :P
Guys, I seriously do not know wtf happened. I never opened this "Receding glacier" thread. I was commenting on the Intel thread and my comment somehow ended up here. I got aware of it because of all these negative points which came quite unexpected.

Could it have been a glitch in the database?
Philip here from MoonlightWork.com (the last team in the video). The advice from Sam and Yuri was great. In our startup school office hours after this on Friday, we were also advised to take a more depth-first approach.

So, takeaways:

1) We found an invoicing system that's compatible with Stripe Connect, so we're working on completing a first project this week.

2) We're focusing just on code for now, rather than design and code at the same time. We want to partner with some open-source project maintainers with the goal of helping them earn money and build a job ecosystem. Our first Moonlight projects have been through my own open-source projects (github.com/staffjoy). If you maintain an open-source project, we'd love to talk about how we can help you create jobs around your project - please shoot me an email philip at moonlightwork.com.
Personally, I use Firefox because I'd rather support Mozilla than Google.

Also, I have it set up exactly how I like it, and I know how everything works, despite the fact that Chromium does seem to be faster in most cases.
"homeopathic" is a specific term that denotes a specific discredited (pseudo)scientific concept, that has been analyzed.

"toxin" is an general term that encompasses many established entities as well as phony ones. When you see "toxin", you can ask "which toxin are you referring to?"

Infocom games are full of dead ends. Best to save separate files often or you could find yourself missing an important item with nothing to do but start over (and it's often the case that you don't realize you're missing something until much later in the game.)
That's a problem with the regulations regarding pension funding, not a general new-company advantage. It should never have been possible for a company to give a pension as compensation that in any way that coupled the pension to their future viability.

> and even shot down Russian's plane to show his European alignment

The first part of your comment denotes a misunderstanding of the situation.

Turkish forces shot down the Russian plane in response to Russia's bombing of the Turkmen (Turkish minority in Syria) rebels. Turkey/US stance in Syria is also divided because the US supports Kurdish groups, just not those aligned with the PKK.

EU membreship is achieved by democracy, checks and ballances, economic stability, not by shooting down Russian planes. EU officials go out of their way to avoid conflict with Russia. Many were for less tougher sanctions than those imposed by the Obama administration.

You are right about Turkey joining the EU being a pipe dream. Turkey's alliances should be with other countries with similar cultures (Turkmenistan, Kazahstan, etc.).
Xeon Phi was a nice idea without much in terms of support or distribution. I tried getting one through various sources, they were advertised just about everywhere and even at huge discounts but actually getting one has so far proved to be impossible. And it still remains to be seen how useful it would have been, whereas a $600 GPU can be dropped into your computer and put to work in about half an hour. The hardest part is the driver installation and NVIDIA's dumb 'sign up before you download' strategy.

If you check out Google Maps, you'll see that the Colorado does in fact reach the Gulf of California. Not an impressive amount, but some. Enough that water clarity in the north part of the gulf is significantly worse than the south (a few feet versus tens of feet).

>There are reasons that zoning laws exist

The reasons aren't compelling to me. It's essentially biased toward money changing hands. Invite different people over every night and do drugs, get drunk and have sex? It's your god given right! Let guests stay for free for a year in your absence? Your property, your rules.

Money changed hands!? Oh my Gosh zoning laws, community rights, etc

If there are safety or community character concerns, and laws created to address them, the laws should be completely neutral to commercial aspects like money changing hands, which are only relevant to special interests who want to stifle commercial competition.
