I’m in a pretty similar situation with Vim. I don’t hate it, but compared to modern editors like Atom and Sublime I feel like I’m missing out on some features. Things like visual find and replace through a whole project, tight integration with Git, looking a lot prettier (even with a true colour terminal) make me a bit envious. And sometimes Vim just feels slow and laggy to me (I tried Neovim briefly but didn’t notice any difference).

Vim is very powerful so although it hasn’t got features like visual blocks, you can do pretty much the same thing with macros and shortcuts - as long as you know and remember them, but that’s the tricky part... Somethings it would be nice just to click a menu to find that feature you use one a month.

I tried switching to Atom but then got lost and felt it was no way near as powerful as Vim out the box (even with the Vim plugin), so here I am stuck with Vim :-)

>The address bar and back button change everything.

>the web is different

It's not specifically the desktop UI framework model that's discordant with the Web; it's SPAs in general.

The browser was built around a document model, not a SPA model. Hence, 99% of what you really want to do with the back button in a SPA is try to prevent it from having deleterious effects. You enable it for navigation only because you have no choice (well, you do, but it wouldn't meet user expectations, especially on mobile where the back-button in apps and the browser are the same). Likewise, beyond locating the app, the address bar is really of little use.

So, let's hold that constant. You have to manage it regardless and it's just as easy to build URL-based view-resolution into any framework. Point being that, once the view is resolved, there's absolutely no reason you can't use a Swing-like model to render and manage it.
Yes, but they're sometimes also heavy, or would benefit from more than one person working on it at a time.

Official US government "unemployment" rates only include people who are "jobless, looking for a job, and available for work". This means that the graduate who can't find work, gives up, and goes back to his parents' basement is not unemployed. The guy who can't work anymore due to injury or chronic illness, barely surviving on disability, is not unemployed. The man begging for change outside the subway, who doesn't look for work because no one will hire someone who can't get clean clothes or a shower, is not unemployed. They are, rather, "not in the labor force."

Keep this in mind when you hear someone saying that unemployment is down.

Some developers use Rust for Linux libraries, I use Swift for web server on Linux. The only concern I have is working with Linux libraries can be fairly difficult as you get in Rust.
Copy Clip Manager – Mac App
On a day to day use, we are tend to copy and paste lot of text. In some situation we may have to re-use the same copied item of earlier one. Here the Copy Clip Manager will store all the copied items in the list, so you can just look for the copied item in the list and select it and the item gets copied and ready to be pasted.

Give it a try and let me know your feedback

I actually find "founder" is the route most scumbags take. Most of the ones I encounter take credit for other people's work and contribute little value. They also do a great job spending other people's money.

Next would be Employees. Jeez, those guys are the worst. Always thinking the ship will sink without them. If only the executives would listen to them the company would be on the right path.

Get off your high horse. You look foolish to all of us executives.

Besides DNSSEC there are also those who are still pushing DNS over SSL/TLS for www domainnames.

Forgive my obtuseness but I still do not understand.

With the availability of high speed encryption for individual DNS packets between stub resolver and authoritative nameservers with DNSCurve[FN1] why would I want to encrypt "connections" to caches with TLS? (Names in a shared cache will be deemed pseudo-authoritative because of DNSSEC? And third parties get the ability to censor any name?)

https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/x/E4AT

https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/download/attachments/1277971/dns...

FN1. Some still doubt DNSCurve. Elsewhere in this thread someone posted a pointer to ianix.com. That site runs DNSCurve. For the doubters, here is what end-to-end encryption of DNS looks like:

# already have root.zone from ftp.internic.net so we already have addresses for tld's such as com

# resolution of ianix.com takes 2 queries (nonrecursive, RD bit unset)

# com servers are not running DNSCurve (yet) so first query is unencrypted

# however com.zone is public data that anyone can request from verisign

# thus there are ways to get ianix's authoritative nameservers w/o using DNS

It's like playing a video game, I'd imagine. The sound effects are the bane of everyone's existence but your own. Seriously though, you don't play your _game boy_ in public without headphones; let alone present while playing one! I'm amazed -- so, so tempted to turn of the preso even if I was fascinated by the content.
This is a bizarre conclusion you invented whole-cloth from your tortured parable. It's not even how cancer is disclosed to children! A simple scroll through social media will show images of children "beating cancer" or missing a relative who died of cancer.

The idea that the Federal Reserve lies to the populace to keep them productive is absurd. Every recession has been addressed (eventually) by the Federal Reserve. There have been catastrophic blunders, such as the tightening of credit after the sustained bank failures in 1929-1933, and the vastly too-late raising of interest rates at the height of the housing bubble in 2007.

However, the directors were rightly castigated for their failures; Alan Greenspan is still mocked for failing to address reality. The Fed is blamed as a major cause of the severity of the Great Depression. Yellen et. al. have been criticized for their caution (financial news calls it "dovish" behavior). The Federal Reserve have every motivation to tell it like it is, lest they end up like Alan Greenspan.

Completely agree, especially when the USA has nearly 330 million people!

Last year according to credit Suisse, the median wealth of the typical American actually /decreased/! And if I remember correctly, it was by quite a sizeable chunk, from 49,000 usd to 45,000 usd.

And the median excludes children, so it is adults only.

I have all the statistics in the world to back up what I'm saying, but even more important for me is anecdotal stuff that inspires me to dig deeper.

When you see the sheer number of young kids working chipotle or retail; when you see the demographics of uber drivers vs big 5 software engineers; when you realize that so much of the wealth in the US is old money that continues to centralize, pool, and grow (much like gravity);

when you realize all that, at the very least, it makes you say "hmmm... I need to rethink and dig deeper into this topic on my own".

Go was likely never intended to run on space constrained platforms like Broadcom MIPS, but point taken.
Except for some hardware issues (stuck on my 2013 MBA for 3-5 days), I have been generally happy with my 2016 MBP. Performance is solid, even for processor and memory intensive tasks. I attribute this in part to the memory management improvements to macOS in the past 5 years (without which, 16GB would be quite horrid). Battery life is generally acceptable as long as I reboot occasionally. The keyboard is a bit louder than my prior Macbook's, but I find that I type more accurately. The 15" screen is beautiful, especially given that I won't need to break my back to lug it around.

32GB RAM option (at price point of current 16GB configuration)

Integrated FIDO U2F
Upgradeable SSD (or M.2 expansion slot)
Improve battery life by 30 - 40%
Don't be cheap ... put the wall cord back in the box

In terms of the Touch Bar, I'm fine with it as long as I have a way to pad some dead space in the top right (where Siri is by default).

I have a couple of software quibbles as well, including:

Bring back Ctrl-Shift-Power shortcut
Enable U2F support in Safari
Disable Touch ID for unlock while continuing to use it for authorizing privileged actions
Integrated Touch ID for sudo
Unicode would probably be a significant effort. It's actually a Turbo Vision port, and, as I recall, it still uses 8-bit strings, same as original did.
Agreed. That characterization of Old Testament vs. New Testament is one of my pet peeves.

There's some horrific brutality and violence in the Old Testament. But the overall story is one of Yahweh's love and compassion for his people in a world where everything is falling apart around them. The same theme carries through into the New Testament.

If the Old Testament is really as bad as people say then Judaism really has a problem. But in my experience Jews aren't any more violent than Christians.

It adds a massive new dependency to the build process for base system. C is itself a massive dependency, but it's already there for pretty much everyone.

That's not mainstream Christian opinion. It's called Marcionism and it's universally condemned by mainstream Christianity.

The value in the music industry has never been in the duplication (or do you really think CDs cost $20 to make while AOL was simultaneously giving them away??). The value is, and always has been, in the talent of the people making the music. DRM is that industry trying to ensure that people who create amazing content are still interested in doing so.

You are essentially arguing that we should let everyone steal since stealing is easy.
seibel's definition of executives included this tidbit: "politics are usually as important, if not more so", and that seems to be the sticky bit.

the premise underlying your lament is that we should distribute compensation based on direct contribution to the product. but we simply don't distribute value that way. first of all, how would we accurately, objectively and differentially assign contribution for the success of a business to the contributing members? i'd guesstimate that an average US company might distribute value this way: owners 45%, executives 20%, employees 35%. you seem to be alluding to a distribution close to executives & owners 0%, employees 100%. are either of those correct? what would be the fair way to do it? you'd have to answer that before you can figure out how to get there.

and as distasteful as it may be, the way we seem to assign value _is_ political. we assign it based on an ability to take credit and argue for a larger share. we assign it for cultural values, like bravado and charisma. we don't really assign it for economic contribution, like commission for direct sales or compensation for risk, no matter how much that appeals to our rational economic minds. the distribution of value is exactly based on the political skill which you lament.

how do we change that? well, that's like asking how do we upend the currently accepted social hierarchy. and that's a big question.

Your argument about the so-called certainty of the Fed Chair and the other directors is disingenuous and not supported by the links you provided.

Link #1: She talks back this assertion in the very next sentence! She says she is probably exaggerating, but she has good reason to think there won't be another major crash of that magnitude, provided there are [list of conditions]. Furthermore, she at no point takes credit for this achievement during the interview.

Link #2: Yellen gets asked why she doesn't raise rates all the time. Far from unwarranted certainty, she admits that she expected the economy to to better, doesn't know why it hasn't, and has therefore revised predictions of when the rates will be raised! Any consumer of financial news over the past 4 years should be familiar with this. The fact you omit this is highly disingenuous.

The very last link summarizes my position pretty well. The experts, who admit that things can be a "mystery," change their minds and models based off of reality. Is that not humble enough for you?

I am curious why you continue to vigorously assert a view that you have failed to demonstrate. What is your personal connection to this, and why do you pursue it?

I've been involved with various corporations. I have yet to be informed of what the national "corporate agenda" is.

When I read the business news, it always seems that corporations are at each other's throats, always suing each other, trying to get the government to run each other out of business, lobbying against each other, etc.

I'm curious if you can provide a link to the national corporate agenda. Maybe it's lowering corporate tax rates? Everybody wants lower tax rates on their own interests.
