i just need a window manager that performs the following for free:

- hotkey for full screeen window

- hotkey for center screen window

- hotkey for left/right half window

- hotkey for move window to prev/next monitor

- hotkey for resize window by mouse (a la bettertouchtool)

- hotkey for move window by mouse (a la bettertouchtool)

currently i'm using a combination of these to do the following, but i feel its a bit overkill when all i need are what i described above:

- bettertouchtool

- sizeUp
Going by the press that's the case, but actually most people in Africa live pretty peaceful lives. And nobody's bringing down aircraft with missiles, so an airship would be pretty safe.
INEQUALITY FOR ALL?
>One of the recent most convincing things was the bullet cluster as described here.[1] We saw two galaxies collide where the "observed" matter actually underwent a collision but the gravitational lensing kept moving un-impeded which matches the belief that the majority of mass in a galaxy is collisionless dark matter that felt no colliding interaction and passed right on through bringing the bulk of the gravitational lensing with it.

How can you possibly even begin to explain that without dark matter?

No argument there.

Yes, over the short term. But longer term, HN's policies shape its user base. They select for people who prefer them, and against people who reject them.

So anyway, I do believe that the Internet is an honest mirror. But I wouldn't want the sort of moderation that some countries impose or plan. Maybe people will eventually learn to use it responsibly. I'm not optimistic, however. It's just ongoing Eternal September.

I'm not so sure political captures the depth and breadth of the problem. Sure that's how it most commonly manifests itself. But we as a culture / society / species having less and less shared experiences. That is adding up, and seemingly making more people less empathic. The instantness of things is also making us less patient, less understanding.

Politics, I believe, is a symptom (of a much bigger problem).

The biggest issue with calling anything "modern JavaScript" is how much of a moving target it is. Javascript, especially with react and react native seems to be at an opportune moment to become the de-fact user interface language for all but the most specialized projects. It would help if the community understood its role as having moved beyond the DOM manipulation tool to be a more stable, predictable language.
The problem is that that explanation is not sufficient. This is something that makes change harder, but fundamentally its not enough.

The US political class really do believe in this project. They do teach these things in reputable schools. This goes to deep to be just about cronyism. That explanation does not work for WW1, neither does it here.
I find it hilarious you're trying to take the moral high ground in THIS particular case, which could be just chalked up as good business sense, and not in any of the immoral things they have actually done like stealing intellectual property via a shell company or sexual harassment in the workplace. All it really shows is your lack of economic understanding.

Businesses price discriminate. Against different bands of customers, perhaps by race, income, zip code or gender. It happens. It's smart. It's profit-maximizing. It's amoral. There's nothing inherently bad about it.

So what if a band of customers is being charged higher? What if they are actually willing to pay more? Why leave the surplus on the table? Are they satisfied with the service?

Look, I'm about as far as you can get from a free market Randroid, but this is just basic microeconomics.

The point when it became clear to me that Microsoft had lost their way was when they decided to get into the search business. [This was PG's view in the article]

In retrospect, this seems to be a wrong conclusion. I know Bing is far far away from Google; But I think that Bing investment was well worth it for Microsoft.
If you have followed Build 2017 conference, it is obvious how Microsoft is leveraging AI/ML in several of their products; and of course, they have a good offering of cognitive service cloud APIs.
Without their heavy investment in Bing, Microsoft perhaps would have found it hard to make such quick jump onto the AI/ML bandwagon.

As a side note, is Microsoft still considered a company on its way to oblivion? I personally think they reinvented themselves in the new era. Am I mistaken in my view?
Yeah it's my favourite for sure. I guess depending on how game of thrones ends, it may be a high contender. Breaking bad was amazing too, but the wire just felt so real.
An enormous difference (which was one of the reasons that I moved to Google Code and GitHub) was that on SourceForge one had to request a project and the SF staff had to approve the project. They would reject projects for all kinds of silly reasons.

On GitHub, you could just create a project and get going.
This doesn't mesh with my experience. The skill of programming is not in writing code, it is in constructing solutions using code. For someone who has already written software for a long time, I believe critical reading and discussion of code keeps the skill just as sharp.

Reading lots of code also gives a broader perspective than writing lots of code, which requires a sort of tunnel vision. Both the deep and the broad perspective are useful on a team.

> The experienced pilot sitting beside me assured me I couldn't crash the plane. It pretty much wouldn't let me.

Isn't this what Airbus used to say?

Since computers are doing more and more of the flying, the one thing that is heard on Cockpit Voice recorder before the rash is "What is the plane doing?" There is a lot of research in this domain, there is no way we will go back to full manual flying, but there is a lot of research in how to let the pilot know what the airplane is doing in a clear manner that is obvious even during a stressful situation.

Two examples of planes crashing because of misunderstanding between the pilots and the computers:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Re...
The reverser deployed on one side, did not let the pilot know, the computer cut the power on that side, did not let the pilot know why, the pilots assumed there issue was the power being cut off for no reason, so reapplying it making the situation worse

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Airlines_Flight_7...
The pilots reduce power on one-side because of surging in that engine, the computer saw that as an anomaly and increased power in both engine resulting in the break up of both engine. The computer never told the pilots what it was doing, the pilot had never been briefed on this mechanism. The captain retired as he felt he could no longer flying safely if he didn't know what the planes were doing.
As a person from and living in the UK, I'm equally shocked and appalled as you. Everybody I know is baffled by and vehemently against these ridiculous proposals. Quite frankly I have no idea who is voting for the Conservatives. Anybody with half a brain cell and not pushing an evil agenda seems to despise the Conservative party. (I'm sure there are some reasonable Tory supporters out there, I've never met them though. I also think in this current sociopolitical climate it's plain dangerous to vote for the Conservatives, even if you believe you have good reasons to support them.)

As a country, we've lost faith in politics and I fully expect this to be demonstrated by a very low turnout for the general election in June. The issue with this is we currently have no strong enough opposition to the Tories (thanks to an incredibly effective smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour party, led by the media and perpetuated by the Labour MPs themselves) so will end up with an even greater Conservative majority and another 5 years of this dystopian madness. I very much hope I'm proven wrong.

I'd be happy to elaborate on some of these points if you're interested; I have a few theories about what is currently going on and what has led us here. It is both very interesting and incredibly upsetting to observe and analyse the state of politics in this country at the moment.

Edit: I should state that I am not a Labour party supporter, I was just trying to give a vague overview of the state of our politics at the moment.

Big Companies have management who cash in at the expense of young exploitable engineers.

Personally I'd like to see the top management get fired.
I work for a company that does a lot in the SaaS backoffice space (e.g. Google Apps), and at the time we were launching a whole new product around Office 365.

I just had a bit of "grass is always greener on the other side" envy of our Microsoft team. They were in a bit more sexy position in terms of management focus, their tech stack seemed intriguing, and the more I tinkered with C# the more I liked it. It seemed like everything I loved about Java, with extra features and syntactic sugar over the parts that I didn't like.

.NET Core, and the idea of shipping your app with a self-contained runtime only megabytes in size, sounded amazing compared to the 300 MB Docker images we were building for our Java stuff. Everything about the Microsoft/C# team felt next-gen compared to the Google/Java team. I even bought a Windows Phone, and starting doing most of my web searches with Bing.

Since then, the Office 365 project got shelved, and most of that team is gone.

Microsoft is doing some interesting things to try and catch up with modern trends. But much of it is still smoke-and-mirrors at this point. The cold reality is that underneath all the "cloud" marketing, Microsoft's customer base is very much conservative enterprises and not-so-savvy SMB's. Customers are fine with Microsoft throwing in the cloud offerings as add-ons for the on-prem stuff... but the customer DNA still very much revolves around running on-prem software, one or two (or more) generations behind the current release. There just wasn't a thriving market for partners in the pure-cloud space.

A lot of my career has been like that. My perceptions driven by what's happening with my current employer, without having a clear view of where the overall industry is heading. It's really 50% luck that I'm a well-paid senior Java developer today... because there were SEVERAL points along the way when I was tempted by what a past employer was doing with Delphi, or Ruby, or something else that in retrospect would have been a major career detour or setback.
I switched to Google Code for the same reason. The fact that I had to ask someone before I could create a new repo was insane. It took days to get a new project up and running on SF. Google Code was a little bit nicer but they just let it fall behind the times.

During the final season McNulty flipped the script and began behaving in the same way that the city/department behaved.

It was purely to illustrate that if a human behaved the way that the Baltimore Police Department behaved you would view it as a self-destructive deranged person surrounded by a cast of enabling supporters with questionable morals.

I, personally, thought it was brilliant.
I've got 2 projects working on .Net Core, and one about to go live next week. The tooling in VS2017 makes it even better.

My only real problems have been using the new libraries (EFCore, aspnet core) and finding compatible libs. Documentation is a bit of a pain due to all the earlier changes that are fossilized in blog posts.

Other than that, it's been pretty smooth. Dev and test on VS/Win, deploy to Linux.

Though I've also done the same with Mono and it's been pretty good. Mono starts a lot faster - I don't get why "dotnet X" takes 5 seconds no matter what X is.

Fwiw I'm excited about Rust and use that too, and even have a few in-the-wild users of my Rust open source stuff. So I think the line about excited about vs actually use is nonsense used to justify shitty design decisions ala C++ or Go.

They're comparing LZ4-HC with something like zlib. They should compare against Google Zopfli instead of plain zlib (or equivalent). But yes, algorithmic improvements and encoding on a modern CPU mean you can do decode on ancient hardware that seems magical, like 8088 Corruption (from the same people, it seems).
I've used Amethyst day-to-day on my work laptop for several months and overall I'm happy with it. It's a bit idiosyncratic, but that's more the fault of Apple for not making it easy to develop such a plugin.

It's strange that a company focused on good design and ease of use is beholden to ancient window management traditions such as manually dragging every single window into the dimensions you want. When you open and close terminal windows to various servers dozens of times a day, need a window open on the side with a site showing documentation on this or that, it just doesn't make sense to waste time doing something that could be automated.

No, the biggest problem is how you monetize that. We already know how to solve these, but the short term cost/benefit for the averge person just isn't there. Figure out how you get average people to willingly spend their money for products that solve those problems.
It was very attractive because it was cheap. Pollution notwithstanding, modern diesels drive just as well, if not better than petrol but consume significantly less fuel. In Europe where fuel is comparatively more expensive than the US and where emission regulations do not hamper it, diesel dominates the market.

Another aspect of it is that the carbon emissions tend to be lower than for an equivalent petrol engine, which is (part of) the reason why various tax incentives were put in place in Europe to favour diesel. They've mostly been rolled back now, but the carbon emission gap and the fuel economy remain.
No, I'm saying that I would follow the then-current instructions for building a hello world ASP.NET app... and half the time those instructions simply weren't working even for a completely clean from-scratch environment.

The documentation and website material wasn't keeping pace with the actual implementation. Which for a full reference guide is one thing, but for the "Getting Started" hello world example on your main marketing page is another thing altogether.

The ideal comparison would be to run the exact same experiment on the exact same hardware on .net and see how it compares (ie, run Xamarin Studio on .net, open and build Xamarin Studio). But I would be interested in any quantitative comparison of Mono and .NET GC performance.

Basically it's not obvious to me if this GC improvement widens Mono's lead over .net GC performance, brings Mono close to matching .net's lead, or brings Mono from terrible to merely bad in comparison to .net.

Do people in the UK see the police as adversarial, like they do in the US? To me (a perception) it seems like US police are expected to act disproportionately and have the system on their side. See for example advice on never talking to them, profiling, civil asset seizures, swat raids, plea bargains etc. It doesn't seem like UK police are seen the same way or even close.

CCTV and internet control are additional tools for them.

Am I stuck with dredging through news and manually mining each one?

This is also basically how oil companies were started in the 19th century but it hasn't been possible to do it in that market for at least 80 years.

We might well have seen the last web/consumer tech behemoth that was 'started in a basement' too. The market is simply far too concentrated these days. The ability to quickly disrupt a behemoth certainly isn't a permanent state of affairs for our industry.
>How do you explaining gravitational lensing with no visible mass, without dark matter?

Black holes?

The physicist says:

>What struck me was some regularity in the anomaly. The rotational velocities were not just larger than expected, they became constant with radius. Why? Sure, if there was dark matter, the speed of stars would be greater, but the rotation curves, meaning the rotational speed drawn as a function of the radius, could still go up and down depending on its distribution. But they didn’t.

That seems pretty damning for any theory that relies on dark matter.
