As other mentioned, #+BEGIN_SRC / #+END_SRC (Emacs will expand "<s TAB" into that for you).

There are also #+BEGIN_QUOTE, #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE, #+BEGIN_EXPORT and some others. They all represent blocks of special text, and have special meaning in Org Mode and/or in exports to other formats.

For instance, a source block declared through "#+BEGIN_SRC language" can have syntax highlighting enabled using appropriate language mode in Emacs, can be easily edited (C-c ') in that mode, and can be also set to automatically evaluate and print results in the document (kind of like Jupyer Notebooks, except in Emacs, but more advanced, and also supports full-blown literate programming use).

In other words, it takes a better alternative to exist. Better can mean cheaper or faster or easier, a lot of things. That can be accelerated by the economic concept of "war" (ie. any situation that makes alternatives a necessity).

What would you hold up as an example of a
powerful web app with significant usage?

The web as a whole is one gigantic web app that works wonderfully. I am using the web all day and for pretty much everything. HN and the linked articles for news. Trello, Github, Upwork for collaboration. FB and Meetup to find an save events I want to attend. Booking.com to find and book hotels. My local railway site for train travel. My local cab site for cab rides. My local public transport site for bus/subway rides. Google flights for flight planning.... I could continue forever. Whenever I need something, I find it on Google and just use it.
Over here one of the definitive advantages of GitLab is that since we're a Ruby shop we can self-support things in case of emergency, either via gitlab-rails or gitlab-psql commands or patch right into the code to get things unstuck ASAP or even do some unsupported stuff.
"All the major players these days (like Facebook) get the overwhelming majority of their traffic through their native mobile app"

And I do not think, there is a sharp line between WebApp and Website.
You could say, we are using one right now (even though very primitive) discussing right now - more than "static(-ish) content"

Also most of the other parts of the Web are not really static anymore - highly dynamic, live interaction between the whole world! That's pretty awesome if you think about it. So the Web works and the web is faaaar away from static documents linking each other, what was it's origin.

And with real webapps - well, I believe the big ones are about to come. The underlying technology to really make them usefull, is just about to become stable.

Weren't all of these issues solved with latex? Why do we need to start over all for the purpose of making everything xml?
Fellow mathematician, albeit retired. If I had to make a guess, you may not have spent enough time getting intimate with LaTeX. I don't think I've really encountered the problems you're having and, unfortunately, it has been so long since I've used it that I can't be specific.

I suspect I don't recall having those issues because I avoided them in the first place. LaTeX requires thinking about the whole document before you start it. It isn't easy to work with if you don't approach it that way. Before pressing any keys, think about the document in its entirety.

In my case, I took shorthand notes on paper, did the outline, and then began working on it. It requires a holistic view, and should be envisioned before even pressing a single key. It sounds more like you're fighting it, instead of thinking within it.

These were some of the first things taught to us in the intro to LaTeX class. I realize this is a horribly generic response, but I'd suggest you take an intro to LaTeX class to go back to learning the basics.

LaTeX is pretty versatile and I can't see any reason to replace it. It just means you'll have to learn something new, so you might just as well master the tools you already have.

Again, I realize this is a very generic reply. You're not self-taught with LaTeX, are you? If you are, then I really would like to stress the value of a good professional class. You can do an intro class in just a single semester and there's almost certainly something adequate locally.

There are probably some acceptable online courses but you may have to unlearn some stuff and I suspect a classroom will be easier for that. I strongly suspect I don't recall having those problems because I never encountere them. Of all the classes I took, the intro to LaTeX was one of the more valuable.

Heck, it has been so long that I should probably take it again. It is one of those use it or lose it things and I haven't used it for well over a decade.
As others said, young folks do the cheap thing, stay in hostels, or the sorta cheap, stay in AirBnBs vs the pre-packaged thing.

Also, those intangibles are "creating some new experience" - you're not buying a consumer item, you're paying for experiences.

Making things is a whole different thing, even though it can also contribute to some well-being in your life.

It's also interesting that you say that the new experience becomes validating if you "make the news" - so, instead of enjoying the process of creating, you're supposed to focus on the possible end rewards?

That's somewhat antithetical to getting joy out of a lot of endeavors.
Yes, I agreed with the entire article as well. I didn't see anything controversial or exaggerated about it.

Edit: Ok, maybe I could have predicted that lines like "HTML 5 is a plague on our industry" would ruffle some feathers. I guess I like a little snark in my criticism.
Not just that, but they are great for sharding too.
You might not expect the gender and ethnic background proportions to 100% reflect society (I won't get into that) but even if that's the case Software Engineering is far more skewed than most comparable industries (science academia, other engineering fields etc) suggesting that we've not hit natural diversity levels yet.

> So for example, the key factor that makes an editor or new devtool popular is that it lets you accomplish your task and then gets out of the way, but when you've developed a successful editor or devtool, lots of programmers want to help work on it, they all want to make their mark, and suddenly it gets in your way instead of out of your way.

Only if it is open source. Seems like Sublime Text (just an example) has avoided this effect... perhaps evidence that open source is not the best model for every kind of software?
I used org-mode for note taking and writing for about 9 months.

I liked it, but there were some things that really irritated me

- Exporting to other formats is not as clean cut as it first seems, especially if you use org-mode features like tags, LOG drawers etc. I always had to spend time fixing things up after the export which got annoying

- It's not very easy to move from org-mode to <insert other note taking tool here>

- Accessing your notes on other devices is a hit and miss affair, especially on Android devices

I'd say if you're interested in using it for writing blog posts etc then you'll probably experience none of these troubles, but I'd just proceed with caution first
The price was lower, but the overall regulatory environment was much worse.

Insurance companies could deny coverage based on a variety of pre-existing conditions, even minor ones.

Insurance companies could deny coverage based on the lack of previous coverage, i.e. not having a valid insurance policy for a few months while you were switching employers, etc.

The policies had no hard limits on out-of-pocket maximum, which meant that for some prolonged treatments (cancers, complicated surgeries) you could easily get into the debt that would lead to an eventual bankruptcy.

The forms that you had to fill in during the application process asked for a quite detailed family history, so for a couple with kids that would include parents, grandmas and grandpas on both sides, and then you add siblings. If you omitted any symptoms or complications, perhaps by mistake, or perhaps grandma's arthritis wasn't really a dinner conversation topic, the insurance companies could claim that you've intentionally falsified your medical history, and deny coverage retroactively.
It's a trade off definitely. The way I think of it is, how often would you have to sub? Rarely. Since most uris do not have spaces, and even putting a URL in an address bar will usually sub it.

On the plus side, having a simpler syntax for URLs I feel is more readable which is great for ease of use. I think ~ looks like a link, and @ makes sense semantically.

But to be sure I think the legacy syntax could remain as a fallback / alternative. New syntax is something that could be tried in a flavor.
It seems like the salary band, determined on experience, would at least give room for negotiation or adjusting wages, at least the hiring level.

In terms of a company with the wage structure it currently has, you would have to the executive level be interested in "normalizing" the wages, which would probably also cause a ruckus.

Not to mention if you have people that, due to client relationships, work on more monetarily significant projects.
Generally if it's people that you find objectionable then spending time with them is only going to make your dislike for their views worse.

Besides, in a work context it's more likely to be people who want your time and effort for something that's not in your goals. Or simply bores. I used to work somewhere with a negative productivity manager: not only did he not do anything useful, he had a tendency to stand next to you and tell dull long stories of How It Was In The Old Days.
I know a few people who couldn't spell HTML who "design web sites" (i.e. drag-and-drop on Wix.com) for small local companies so apparently there is still money to be made.

Congratulations, now your app is inaccessible to screenreaders and doesn’t lay out properly on half the devices of the internet.

On every platform you have to use the native controls to build a good experience, but the web’s problem is that the native controls are the worst of every app ui platform ever made, so we get layer after layer of framework crud trying to hide the fact that html and css are almost completely unsuited for building app ui. I wish they had been a little more broken, because then someone would have had the sense to replace them.
Pure whataboutery. The fact that a significantly worse harm happens in other countries doesn't mean this isn't something people are allowed to discuss.

Seeing two straight people getting married or discussing their romantic relationship isn't an adult topic, but seeing two gay people doing the same is treated as one.

Nobody is talking about adult or mature-rated LGBT content, they are talking about the disparity in treatment between non-adult content containing LGBT themes vs. non-adult content that doesn't contain LGBT themes.
I actually do.

Yeah, it seems like it would open up such a can of worms which, in my mind, just seems to be a part of the difficulties of addressing the equal pay for equal work stuff.

Not to mention that taking a full maternity leave puts women six months behind on things which maybe they're penalized for, whether consciously or subconsciously, when men might be able to take a shorter leave (even if they did want longer).

Yes, the goal is to hire on merit. By only hiring people who look like us we're both hiring people who lack merit purely because they're white men, and failing to hire people who have merit purely because they're not white men.

The "but we want to hire on merit" argument is clearly fucking bullshit if you've ever had any involvement in recruitment and seen how flawed it is.
Hardly that I would think. The anti-tribal direction of modern world history originated in the Enlightenment, which, although catalysed by contacts with Muslim, Indian and Chinese civilisations, was nothing if not profoundly 'Western'.
Power Drill Beatbox
Given that the dispute that is the subject of the original article here is about dicamba drifting onto non-sprayed fields in the local area, some scepticism is warranted as to how well those refuge plots would work.
One big point of “Western civilization” (religious mores about cousin marriage and inheritance; the classical liberal / republican tradition with religious toleration and representative government; science; European legal traditions with an independent judiciary; economic liberalism; down through to the Geneva Conventions; the UN and similar institutions; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; universal education; universal suffrage; etc.) is rejecting tribalism in favor of the rule of law and more just and egalitarian social relations and decisionmaking processes.
I had a 'not to do list' a few years back and it helped me immensely.

* Don't step on someone's ego (people are very egoistic and I have or had a habit of cracking worst jokes, without an ounce of remorse)

* Don't get emotionally involved with takers (there are givers and takers in the world... it's so much better to give to givers)

* Don't make important decisions when tired (prevented me from sending emails when I was too tired and silly ones)

I have been a freelance developer and an entrepreneur for last few years. They might seem silly but did help me out become better at managing things. :-) Does anyone else wants to share theirs.

find the highest paid workers on upwork, find out their stack or specialty, learn that, bid on work like that for relatively cheap, do an good job plus throw in extra effort. be resourceful. get five 5 stars, up your rate. Use that as a resume in 18 months for a 120k+ job with benefits. live as cheap as possible with no debt and invest as an entrepreneur, and only use debt as an investment strategy, take and know your risks. live every moment and strive to be the best at whatever it is you do.

The distinction between suits and nerds/geeks is blurrier than ever. Think about Zuck, you can probably take a photo of him in a t-shirt, a hoody and a suit on the same day. However, I think there is a pretty big difference between people who feel it's worth learning things for the sake of understanding and those who only work on sellable things. OTOH, there is a little suit in all of us, possibly suppressed. And who knows, maybe there is a little hoody in the suits as well!

The numerical argument that the age of the galaxy gives sufficient time that it should be well-covered with probes seems reasonable.

However, extending that argument to "...and the various probes will have then competed in a Darwinian struggle leaving only a few voracious survivors causing a galactic-scale grey-goo scenario." does not seem especially well supported.

I always liked the sound of org-mode, but as a long time vim user, I always found attempting to learn Emacs pretty jarring (I know it's just a matter of spending more time with it, but...).

> religious mores about cousin marriage and inheritance

(just because I didn't know that word) Mores: "The accepted traditional customs and usages of a particular social group."

> is rejecting tribalism in favor of the rule of law

Agreed. You just have to convince the other "tribes" to do that as well. And the more people are forced to accept other people from a more distant (not geographical distance) culture, the stronger the backlash is

> more egalitarian social relations and decisionmaking processes

How many forced marriages, FGMs and honour killings are happening now under the auspice of western secular governments/societies?
What I did at your age: find local companies that need small gigs. Forget about trying to use those gig sites, you’re just competing with countries with super low wages - not worth your time. Get some experience under your belt then get a salary job somewhere, pay won’t be great at the start but you’ll learn a lot real fast.

You can study a ton and learn all the algorithms in the world but you have a lot easier time learning on the job in a position where you wouldn’t need them. If you’re still in high school ask if they have any local business connections that might need your assistance. I did mostly websites but I also never turned down general it help for people that had a computer that didn’t work right. I also did real invoicing and tried to treat it as a business.
I have thought about it before but haven't ever. I am happy to give you a few more details though.

I am able to spend so little because I live in a very central area of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. My apartment is a spacious 80$ / month concrete box, around 5m x 16m with tall ceilings, natural ventilation, and a balcony facing out into a long alley. Around 100m away is one of the largest markets in the city, and so there is tons and tons of cheap, healthy food in walking distance (e.g. a kilo of mangoes for 0.25$ when in season). The really notable aspect of living here is the sheer population density -- I've estimated that in a 100m radius around me, in dense rows of five story apartments [1], there are probably over 5000 people living together relatively harmoniously. Being somewhat of a shut-in, this is really great for me as every day I see and chat with many neighbors, local vendors, and other familiar faces. I also live within walking distance of the absolutely awesome Olympic Stadium [2] and go there most days to sprint and lift weights with the Cambodian national track team (choosing cheap or free hobbies is pretty key to this lifestyle I suppose). Most everything else that I love doing involves computers, so other than a few laptops, speakers, a guitar, a nice table and chair, a mattress on the floor, etc. I don't really own much.

That's not to say there are not difficult moments here. Even though I personally am not struggling financially, it's hard to totally escape the effects of poverty when you are immersed in it. A few years back, for example, a teenage boy killed himself in this neighborhood by jumping from a 5th story balcony, and knowing the backstory I don't think he would have done it if he had the money to escape from his home life. Seeing other people struggle is tough, but of course not nearly as tough as being in that situation yourself.

But if you have an old building with restrooms that are not ADA accessible does that mean you should not be allowed to host concerts there? I wasn't arguing that new buildings shouldn't be built accessibly, but do the old ones NEED to either be abandoned or remodeled?

Ask HN: How do you read?
Hi guys, I was wondering how do you process reading, especially books.

I seem to enjoy reading and make notes/highlights, and at the end feel that I’ll only be able to remember (let alone apply) 5% of what I learned. Any general or specific recommendation on getting most out of your reading?
