Haha this reminds me of when I lived and worked in Singapore and an Andersen consultant flew in from Kansas to "help us out". His first complaint was that there was nowhere to eat! That was so stupid I couldn't respond, since there is more culinary variety in Singapore than anywhere else I've ever been, but eventually I figured out that he wasn't able to eat anywhere besides a steakhouse, which establishments are common in Kansas. (Of course he could have found one if he had looked hard enough, although fair warning on the unpalatable Australian beef, but instead he got in some sort of sensitivity trouble and flew back home...)
> 1. Is there (or will there be) any way to create an encrypted git repo shared between a few users that aren't part of a team? e.g. could I create a repo that belongs to eridius,chris and have us both access it?

Yep, though it's undocumented and it won't show up in the GUI right now (maybe ever). You can just push/pull directly to repos like "keybase://private/u1,u2,u3/foo" and it will create it on the fly. But we warned, there's currently no way to delete those, and typos in the git URL can cause unintended repos to pop up.

> Can I create a repo that belongs to a subteam?

Yep, should be the same as a regular team.
Any of the Qualcomm DragonBoards will perform considerably better than any i.MX8 chipset board AFAIK. Freedreno (Qualcomm Adreno driver in Mesa) is a lot farther along than Etnaviv for the time being. There's also v4l2-based hardware video decode in upstream kernels for (supported) Qualcomm chipsets.

If you want a non-Intel desktop, you could also look to any of the high-performance AArch64 or Power boards with PCIe slots in them, and slot Radeon in.

I absolutely believe in the right to privacy. But I don’t think the right to privacy extends that far. I think it’s kind of unreasonable that everyone else loses their rights to record data to protect your right to privacy. This runs counter to the first amendment and makes journalism impossible. It also makes it impossible to do things like monitor the police.

> It gives you access to keyboard shortcuts for moving around ...

Your whole comment can be dismissed easily because of this one gross misunderstanding. Vim is not a bunch of weird keyboard shortcuts. If one approaches Vim as an editor that uses keyboard shortcuts that are inconsistent with every other editor out there, then one is simply setting themselves up for pain and unproductivity.

Vim is not a bunch of keyboard shortcuts. It is an interactive editing language! For more, see this excellent comment on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118/1175080 (a very well written answer!).

As a research psychologist, I found his rant particularly upsetting because the very thing he's ranting about has been dealt with in the social sciences for years and years and years.

One of the reasons this issue keeps recurring is because, taken to its logical conclusion, the "time" probability paradigm (to use his term, there are better terms that have been used) as applied to persons' behaviors, only applies to that single individual, which then leads to a sort of paradox. Although we might want to know the probabilities for Theodorus Ibn Warqa, this is in principle unknowable because there is only one Theodorus Ibn Warqa. So when he is ruined, you can in theory say nothing about Maximillian Samuel Warqa.

At some point you have to invoke a counterfactual of sorts, and use a different person as a substitute, and this is why the "ensemble" probability model is invoked.

Taleb is right that the consequences of a ruin event are different at the individual level, but so what? The cost estimate is different from the probability estimate. It's not like people don't understand this. Maybe in the strawman literature he reads, but not in what anyone else is thinking. What's more typical is a ruin event one way or a ruin event another.

This is difficult stuff if you go beyond the toy gambler scenario he's dealing with. Just for one example:

https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/11718181

People wrestle with this not because they're idiots, but because it's more difficult than it seems once you really dive into it.

Just not true. Let's say I do a bet of 1 dollar, and I have 50% chance of winning, and I can make 1000 bets every day. If start with 100 dollars it is much more likely to die with a lot of money than broke.
Growing social media backlash among young people, survey shows
Getting off topic you mentioned doing production work in Smalltalk for a decade and even said "hundreds of millions" in reveue. To me that is quite impressive. Any chance you can point to a project you've done or some prominent Smalltalk apps? Pharo has some minor ones on their site and the author of the article frequently mentions JWARS. I'd like to see more though.
Yes, the hardware must be signed by Intel, but the code can be anything, since the idea is to make cloud hardware trustworthy even for sensitive computations a customer might run. The researchers use the enclave in the intended way (protecting their code from interference even by privileged code) but for a malicious purpose. (Thus abusing it.) Intel will happily provide them with an attestation that the code is indeed running in a secure enclave.
> macOS, Ubuntu Linux LTS, and the latest Ubuntu Linux are the current supported host development operating systems

I believe that "supported" here means the test suites and CI are run on those platforms. More importantly, any regressions on those platforms would be considered bugs. However, there have been partial or complete ports to several other platforms, including some weird ones.

Aside from Apple platforms, I see code in-tree for Linux, CYGWIN, Windows, FreeBSD, PS4[0], Android, and Haiku[1] (a revived BeOS). And that's not some stray LLVM code, it's in the Swift compiler itself. I've read that there was/is an out-of-tree upstream port to some IBM mainframe hardware, as well.

A bit tangential to your original point, but I think it's interesting.

As for fMRI, while it's not particularly under existential threat re:empiricism, it's not necessarily a silver bullet: http://blog.brainfacts.org/2016/07/are-fmri-data-analysis-me...

Personally, my opinion is that the ambiguity of people's self-perceptions of their persona allows there to be an asymmetry between the harm they might get receiving advice about their personality and the benefit they might get from heeding advice about personalities that they can at least envision themselves as being perceived by others as having, if that makes sense. It probably isn't particularly empirical, but I don't know if we will get to a science of personality within our lifetimes (but (maybe..?) it would be nice to be proved wrong).

I'm happy you like VSCode so much. I do too, but I don't think it really qualify as a IDE. Same goes for Atom. Unless you consider Sublime an IDE as well. It has all the features they do, mainly because they ripped it off to gain them.

Putting that aside, I totally understand what you're saying about Vim. I felt the same way when I started out with it. But I didn't have a choice at the time because the company I work at only supported Vim, and there weren't too many other options around at the time. Atom was just new and ran like a dog. We were told we couldn't use Sublime unless we bought a license, so I was stuck with Vim.

And now, after 3 years of learning, and tweaking, and practising, I get Vim. I'm not a hardcore user; I don't use hjkl, I rarely use any register apart from ", but that doesn't mean I'm not getting any benefit from Vim. There are definitely some features in those other editors that are also attractive, but I've managed to find ways to replicate them in Vim, either using plugins or by mapping commands.

That said, at home I still use Sublime, but it has been pretty awkward because my hands are so use to certain Vim things, that I find myself pressing keys, doing things I didn't intend a lot. Installing a Vim-mode plugin to one of those editors doesn't fix that.

This implies that both side of the transaction will inevitibly go bust, bookmaker and gambler alike. It may be true, but it's like saying we're all going to die at some point. The expected times are long enough that it's mostly not worth worrying about.

If the positive-expectation gambler can reduce his stakes he will find a comfortable expected time-to-ruin, which might be hundereds of years if he was able to quantify it. In this position, he should continue to place his bets.

We make hundreds of small positive-ER decisions like this every day and we don't shy away from them for fear of the black swan.

Newsrooms and bars are like twin brothers. You pick any newspaper, and there is always THE watering hole for it, usually the very nearest one.

For the Baltimore Sun, that was the "Midtown Yacht Club" and the joke was in its name, in that it was nowhere near the water. Anyhow, about a decade or so, the guy owning it decides to sell the bar and finds a buyer quickly. He starts liquidating some of the non-related assets and then finds a ream of papers in the basement he had forgotten about.

The managing editor, who was helping him close the bar that night (though not in a working capacity) asks him about the ream. Turns out, it was a block of UPC barcodes the barowner had purchased a decade prior, as a sort of investment, and forgotten about.

When he bought them, they were a moment's whim to a pushy salesman, and a few pennies. By the time he was selling the bar, the UPC barcode ecosystem had gone through a huge growth and the allocated numbers were used up. Prices and renewals shot up through the roof to where it was prohibitively expensive to add new products to the market. And he was sitting on a whole block of addresses.

He ended up selling that contiguous barcode block for far more than the bar was worth, and retired.
> although fair warning on the unpalatable Australian beef

Is Australian beef unpalatable? It all depends on the cut and the grade, of course; but, buying good quality beef here in Australia, comparing it to beef I've tasted in restaurants in the US, it tastes just as good.

Maybe the stuff we export to Singapore isn't that good. Or maybe higher prices push people towards the lower quality stuff.

Actually it could be much more interesting than that -- the implicit function decl will be `int foo(int)` so you risk your compiler pushing the wrong args on the stack.

I don't, but then I rarely plugged in headphones before it was removed. The headphones that were included with my iPhone 7 are still in their packaging.

Most of the headphones I own are bluetooth. At home, I stream over BT or wifi and charge my BT headphones while my phone charges. While driving I also use BT, which is nice since I rarely have to pull my phone out and my jams are already playing as I get into the car.

I had the exact same thought. Two ideas:

1. They're well capitalized enough that they think the actual cost to
produce is going to drop significantly. Maybe they're planning on a 50 year lifecycle for this solar plant and thinking: we'll we'll lose money now, but when we have to replace all these panels in a decade, at that point they'll cost nothing and for the remainder of this project we'll make bank (though I'm not even sure if that's how this works)

2. They're somehow financially co-mingled with a solar cell producer and have a significant hidden cost advantage.

You're right. Those are freaking great.
This 'jk' and 'kj' mapping works only to get out of the Insert mode. But it does not match the full capability of the original 'Escape'.

- How do you escape from visual mode to normal mode?

- How do you ensure that your abbreviation gets expanded when you escape from insert mode to normal mode?

- How do you escape from operator-pending mode to normal mode? With this mapping, if you press 'd' to delete something and then change your mind and decide to return to normal mode, you are forced to use the original 'Escape' anyway. If you happen to press 'jk' due to habit at this time, it is going to end up deleting lines.

For these reasons, I thought to have a clean mapping of another convenient key (such as Caps Lock) to Escape at an operating system level, rather than trying to make Vim treat some other key as Escape in certain modes.

If I get one of these, I want not only the option for AI-powered clips, but for every second of video/audio to be stored, tagged, classified, and analyzed:

1) Spoken word

Every spoken word is transcribed.
Every word is tagged to the right person.
All speech is automatically analyzed for intonation and emotion (perhaps, in part, by the AI analyzing facial expression).

2) Written word

Every word that is read/seen by the camera (as in books, magazines, receipts, brochures, highway signs, TV commercials, license plates) is OCRed and stored.

3) People

Every person is tagged (something like the way Google Photos does it). Since there is now audio for every frame/video, Google's machine-learning AI will make it super accurate. Facial expressions will be analyzed, along with vocal intonation, to tag person's emotions, mental state, etc.

4) Location

Everything will be GPS-tagged.

Great start, but so much more I'd like to see.

Ronald Coase is best known for two different works, "The Nature of the Firm" (1937) and "The Problem of Social Cost" (1960). What's become known as the "Coase theorem" is from the latter. The common thread between the two is that they're both ultimately about transaction costs.

With that comment, you lost any good will I had for you. Despite that, I tried to explain to you anyway what we mean by file based and you simply ignored it and chose to argue with me about st files being plain text which is entirely irrelevant to the conversation. What more do you want? You're wrong, Smalltalk isn't file based, but you don't seem to know what Smalltalk'ers mean by that term, and you refuse to admit you're wrong despite you not even being a Smalltalker. That's willful ignorance, I have no patience for willful ignorance nor do I have any duty to the Smalltalk community, something I know vastly more about than you as I've been a member of it for a very very long time.

At the People's Computer Company (PCC) we published many BASIC (and other programs) beginning in the early 1970s in a number of publications: PCC Newspaper, Personal Computing, Recreational Computing, and Doctor Dobb's Journal. We also ran storefront computer facilities where people (kids and adults) could rent time on a TTY connected to a computer. Most of the computers we used for that were DEC PDP-8s.

One of our most popular books was What to Do After You Hit Return, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_to_Do_After_You_Hit_Retur.... It remains, to this day, a classic.

Typing in a program from a magazine or book was always a crapshoot unless you really understood and could change the program simply because of the large number of different dialects of BASIC.

Microsoft BASIC eventually became a "standard" of sorts, but that was later.
