Can't you use pragmas to silence those specific cases?
What has always sold me on Vim is the fact that you can "compose" key commands, and as a result, you effectively can build your own commands.

For example, the `d` key begins the `delete` action, the `i` key means `inner` (or `current`) and `w` means `word`. From that, you can deduce that `diw` deletes the current word.

I figured that command out myself, among many other ones, and that only works because of the composable nature of Vim's modal editing.

Vim's macro system is also rather amazing, IMO. I haven't used Atom much, so I don't know if it's comparable, but I will usually set up several macros and compose them together to do mass edits of things.

You presented a common argument in response to my post, even if you weren't personally advancing it; I addressed that argument with the rhetorical liberty that I was speaking in a dialog continuing the original exchange in which that argument was advanced. (This causes less indirection dereferences for people who do believe that argument trying to understand why I don't.)

The crux of why that argument is wrong is that it begs the question is precisely the same fashion, but dresses up that fallacy is faux predictive powers (eg, we can know what would happen if history changes) and emotional reaction to Nazis, which makes it wronger than the post I was originally replying to.

In all honesty, your post is so full of weasel words, it's unclear what point, if any, you're actually trying to make.
This is specifically about the FRAND terms Qualcomm agreed to when their patented methods were included the cellular standards. These methods were included because they may have been the best way to solve the issue but more importantly because an industry giant is ready to build chips to adhere to the standard, helping adoption and time to market. To offset that vested interest, they have to agree to FRAND terms.
Yes, I know that. The problem is it’s not mandatory. :(
yes i agree with you about not being able to use it in dev tools is super annoying. the author did mention a workaround for it in the reddit thread but it never worked for me.
Yeah. I'm sure Field Marshall Slim would have been just fine without the help of a handful of cryptography breakers (some homosexuals, some women) in little huts at Bletchley Park cracking the Enigma machine. No difference in being able to intercept and use Nazi communications for months on end without their knowledge. They pretty much had the Germans on the run at that point, right?
A lot of the rare-earths are produced as a by-product of other mining activities. Also, as soon as supply is seriously in constraint, recycling technology for EOL products would be developed, and as the price of sourcing from mines increased, recycling rates would tend towards 100%. Ultimately, the mining product is not being destroyed in the production of something like a battery, so it is fundamentally different, and fundamentally more sustainable than burning a fossil fuel.
Django lets you inspect a database and generate models from it:

Alternately, you can generate models that fit your data set and import them via Django's ORM and some simple scripting.
Piggybacking, does anyone know where we are with capacitors? Everyone focuses on batteries, but I've always wondered about supercaps. They can't hold a charge for years, but 12-48hrs is possible. Size is not an issue, and I had thought even fancier caps are pretty simple and environmentally friendly. Unlike molten salt and many other storage tech, they have no moving parts.

Obviously the energy density is not incredible, but these are land-based installations we're talking about, not Teslas.
> the Foundation suggests anywhere from six hours to 11 hours of sleep per night for individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 may be suitable, or six hours to 10 hours for those between the ages of 26 and 64.

A four to five hour deviation is quite significant. That's a difference of 80% between the most amount of sleep needed and the least.

I have to disagree with #1, vim normal mode is emphatically not about navigation, it's about editing. It's basically a command grammar where navigation (motions in vim parlance) can be combined with the various commands.

The key observation behind its design is that programmers and sysadmins spend much more time editing than entering new text, and therefore it is asinine that 40 of the keys on the keyboard are permanently dedicated to typing out literals when there are very obvious editing operations that give you a lot more leverage.
This is what I thought as well.

Mindfulness is a skill to be practiced. Similar to how your heart strengthens through running and your muscle-mass increases through weight training, your ability to recognize physiological and physical responses to stress will sharpen with continued mindfulness practice.

Natural lifespan is a bit of a misnomer to describe our current lifespan though, seeing all the thing modern medicine does. I didn't realize how much biopsy would creep me out until I have it done, not to mention all kind of surgeries we do nowadays.

Keybase team member here. Interesting fact: git doesn't check the validity of sha-1 hashes in your commit history. Meaning if someone compromises your hosted origin, they can quietly compromise your history. So even the fears about data leaks aside, this is a big win for safety.

From an entrepreneurial perspective, this is my favorite thing we've done at Keybase. It pushes all the buttons: (1) it's relatively simple, (2) it's filling a void, (3) it's powered by all our existing tech, and (4) it doesn't complicate our product. What I mean by point 4 is that it adds very little extra UX and doesn't change any of the rest of the app. If you don't use git, cool. If you do, it's there for you.

What void does this fill? Previously, I managed some solo repositories of private data in a closet in my apartment. Who does that? It required a mess: uptime of a computer, a good link, and dynamic dns. And even then, I never could break over the hurdle of setting up team repositories with safe credential management...like for any kind of collaboration. With this simple screen, you can grab 5 friends, make a repo in a minute, and all start working on it. With much better data safety than most people can achieve on their own.
> You also have to understand data structures like linked lists, queues, b-trees..., and to top it all of understand algorithm analysis to judge the efficiency of the code you write or look at.

While it's true that you need to know how to judge efficient code, the bit about data structures is HR bullshit. If the only indicator about an organization's coding styles during the interview is a bunch of cargo culted questions from HackerRank, then you should think about whether you really want to work there or not.

Remember that hiring is a two way street. As much as you're offering them something, they're offering you a paycheck (among other things). Don't accept a bad deal just because their "innovative".

> those who are trying to make it or work in the 'supporting cast' take BART from oakland or richmond

At this point BART or other mass transit access to your workplace is itself a sort of privilege, perhaps not for the tech elite who wouldn't take mass transit anyway, but for rank and file skilled employees.

For many of them, mass transit is preferable to hours spent in car traffic. I'm one of those who feels privileged to be able to take BART to work.

It's service workers who have often been pushed out beyond the Bay Area into mega commutes.
Personally, I would say it's probably not worth learning for most people. And I say this as a huge fan and many-year user of vim. I'll tell you why I like vim, and you can see if it resonates with you, and if not that's totally valid IMO.

The reason I use and like vim isn't because it improves my productivity. I mean, there's a chance it does, but I kinda doubt it makes that big a difference.

The reason I use vim is because I enjoy using it way more than any other editor. That's because with vim, the amount of time between me deciding on a specific change to make, to it happening, is almost instantaneous. In other editors, I have to spend time moving the cursor around, selecting stuff, etc. In vim, there's usually a command to get what I want done immediately. Not to mention that, with additional plugins, you can get some insane functionality that doesn't exist elsewhere (and you can easily customize vim to add commands that are relevant for you).

I don't think this impacts productivity, but it just makes vim more fun. And (in all seriousness), it's ruined me for other IDEs and editors. Even though there's a chance I'd be more productive in e.g. PyCharm, I can't make the switch because I'd miss too many things from vim.

Btw, it took me a long time to get semi-descent in vim, as I assume it takes most people. I did it not just because vim was a better editor and I was hooked, but because I enjoy playing with and customizing editors. So the amount of time I wasted (and still waste) on vim was enjoyable, so it was worth it to me. I wouldn't consider it productive time well spent though.

There isn't really a single coherent "C/C++ ecosystem", but for your average "build with make" program there isn't really a 'production' vs 'development' build distinction that would be easy to hang this off. (QEMU enables -Werror for builds from a git tree but we had to put a bit of special purpose in our configure script to do that.) You can't tie it to "is this a debug build" because some warnings only appear for optimised builds so ideally you want to have the check for both debug and optimised.
A lot of synchronization problems are solved with access to a very accurate synchronized clock. E.g. with it you can determine a reliable "happens-before" relationship between all in flight transactions, among other useful things.

Literally all GPS does is provide a way to determine the time very accurately in relation to a bunch of synchronized atomic clocks in orbit. (As a side benefit, knowing the time like this will also give you your position.)

COBRA was cheaper than a comparable ACA plan for me. It was also WAY cheaper than what a comparable plan pre-ACA would’ve cost. If you just need “emergency” coverage, sure there’s cheaper options. But if you have a chronic health condition, COBRA will more often than not be a lot cheaper and offer better coverage with lower out of pocket costs.

What you have described is three quarters, let me fill this for you:

Person wishing to do the right thing and doing it ("unselfish")

Person doing the right thing against their wishes ("righteous")

Person wishing to do the right thing but not doing it (akrasia, you missed this one)

Person not doing the right thing and not wishing so ("selfish")

It's all about image of oneself and the experience of being burned by your actions, and every person out there shows plenty of behavior from all four quarters. So dividing people doesn't makes sense. Now, dividing actions does.

I agree that using `-Werror` in release builds is a bad idea. But I don't think you need to "not make it the default" for this: just provide an easy way to disable it, and do it automatically for release builds. It should be on by default for any developer.
Next line in the 4th paragraph of the Wikipedia article you quoted, “According to the Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP) concept proposed by World Bank in 2015, India's poverty rate for period 2011-12 stood at 12.4% of the total population, or about 172 million people; taking the revised poverty line as $1.90.” (And that's already two years out of date and India's economy is growing at ~7% annually.)

I'm not arguing with you any more because you use phrases and terms like "grotesquely absurd", "near worthless", and "fantasy" which are all both hyperbolic and uncharitable. I'm not arguing that there isn't poverty in India and China, I'm arguing that though there is poverty, and some of it extreme, both countries are raising millions out of poverty annually. Only this month India announced the world's largest electrification scheme† to electrify the remaining population. And GDP PPP is a way to measure that change, economists agree on this to the best of my knowledge. I'm not taking your word for it, show me a source that disagrees.

Unless there is extend of stress or body injury that needs sleep to continue the recovering process, or other medical situation occurs, a healthy body does NOT require more sleep than 6-7 hours, because it is not about sleep's length but the quality of REM sessions of your sleep. If you happen to to push your sleep over 8.5 hour, you are entering into another REM session (that you don't need) that's why when you wake up in the middle of from it, you feel very tired. But try to wake up precise 6.5 hour after you fell asleep and you will feel very refreshed (given you had interrupted good night sleep)
I don't think you understand: cab drivers in Toronto (and other cities) frequently turn down freezing cold passengers that just want a ride back home (still in the city) because the cab driver wants a route that brings them close to their home.

They will not accept your fare. This is illegal in most major cities (or at least Toronto), but impossible to track and enforce. It has nothing to do with wanting a ride to somewhere "very inconvenient" - convenience is priced into the fact you pay by mile. Enabling this sort of behavior is outright regressive to Uber's value prop in some of their largest markets - not to mention a public safety concern.

FWIW: I think both Uber and Lyft now have features designed to help drivers pick up fares towards their own homes at the end of a "shift" in order to make their drivers happier, I'm just saying that the behavior of cancelling fares shouldn't be considered "understandable" and undermines the value prop of these companies in major city centers.
I think they are discussing landscape because there is a tendency to force tablet layouts onto mobile users. That and advertisers want the most real estate for their videos.

Visibility be damned if you have to type anything on one of those sites. Keyboard covering the rest of the screen real estate not consumed by dickbars (sorry, I never heard that but it's such an apt description).
I'm sorry, "weird" in this context just means "whoa dude, that's weird to consider". It's not an argument of morality. You can lack empathy and still be fairly moral.

But these are just thoughts, happy to be wrong.

A bit off topic. Say, 5-10 years ago I read about someone winning a nobel prize for something he did regarding blood. When he was asked in the interview how he came about the discovery, he replied having imagined himself as that particular "compound" traveling through the blood stream while on Acid. Later on I tried searching for that to see who it was but couldn't find it. Now I wonder if it's true.

I did not mean to imply being an expert in all the languages listed, but having some knowledge of them and being able to write code.

I also think that an understanding of data structures is required to be able to identify the best way to deal with data in terms of processing and storage.

It is equally false to say none of what I mentioned is required. There is a broad spectrum between your statement and mine, and the truth is somewhere in between. The better prospect for a job is in the area of knowledge though I hope we can agree on that.
>So put the same modem in a cheap phone, or in an expensive laptop, and the IPR will be very different. This is really charging IPR on a lot of value completely unrelated to the modem.

Pot, meet kettle. Apple charges 30% at the App store, whether I want to sell an app for $1 or $1000.

Also, if Apple wanted, they could package the modem separately. Sell it for $50. Again, this mirrors Apple's advice to Samsung to build triangle phones since Apple patented a rectangle with rounded corners. Suddenly, clunky workarounds are bad. Quelle suprise.

I really can't feel sorry for Apple. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Must be nice to be an Apple IP lawyer. They win no matter what happens.

> Happens all the time, cities choose tax rates for themselves, states for themselves, and feds for themselves.

You might want to re-read gps comment again, because you seem to be mangling their analogy:

>Imagine a mayor in a US city giving a company a deal whereby they don't pay state and federal taxes and only pay a low municipal tax.

Gp's point is that cities don't get to override federal taxes - if they attempt it and you're dumb enough to listen to them, the IRS will definitely collect what they owe. The same goes for individual countries in the EU - they don't get to override EU law.

> The IRS isn't going to come and tell me to pay my city more in property taxes because I got an unfair abatement.

Your critique falls apart because there is no US federal law that says cities can't unfairly advantage companies inside their borders. In contrast - there are EU laws make this form of state subsidies illegal.
Those were Apple's gross margins. Cost of goods is never the total cost, even for retail. In Apple's case, a lot of the magic of the iPhone happens through the effort of R&D. The media saying Apple's profit margin is their gross margin is disingenuous and grossly misleading. Most companies' gross margins are somewhere around 70% for products, but Apple is the one that gets singled out.
