I believe that what helped me the most (I've been using vim for 4+ years now, but still not an expert by any means) is buying a keyboard without arrow keys and also, getting used to vim motions.

Vim motions are amazing. People don't use them. If they did, it doesn't matter what the plugins did, you can use motions with fancy stuff that plugins provide.

Also your argument against not installing an autocompleter is without basis. Just because vim can do it natively does not mean its good. The native suggestions are alright when I'm editing on a remote server but I use YouCompleteMe when possible on my own systems. People who are used to intellisense etc kinda need this to do their job and still use vim.
I will be perfectly honest, I found this hilarious because I clicked the link without even thinking about it, closed it almost immediately, navigated away, came back, and didn't even remember having clicked on it until seeing it greyed out in the list of topics.

Let's be honest: It prevented some and created others.

We got a wealth of free tools that allowed us to create things like Slashdot without crippling license fees and we got a wealth of cheap IoT and poorly programmed devices that can DDOS and bring down GitHub.

In the 1990s the fear was that Microsoft would take over everything. Now the concern is that Linux will show up in places it has no business being, collecting data it doesn't need, and connecting to services that aren't necessary, all in what should be simple, dumb appliances like your refrigerator or washing machine.

The kinds of hacks that were absolutely, hilariously laughable in movies like Virus are now quite plausible. Blender went berserk and set the kitchen on fire? Who would've guessed that's actually practical now, given a sufficiently Internet of Thingsy appliance.

Here's a review from an Ontrac delivery driver that shows some insight of what's going on behind the scenes:

I wonder if there are intelligent species that are incapable of developing spaceflight due to environmental reasons. For example, an intelligent water-breathing species on a planet that is quite a bit more massive than Earth.

A ship filled with water has a lot more mass than a ship filled with air. That extra mass compared to what we face, combined with starting from a high gravity world, would mean they would need significantly better propulsion systems than we need to get to orbit.

Could this mean that chemical based rockets would not be sufficient for them to do manned spaceflight? If so, they may never establish a manned orbital presence, and a manned orbital presence may be necessary as a stepping stone to interstellar travel.

Much like all CEOs went through a phase of doing a marginal gains presentation, and some are still probably talking about how the internet is an opportunity, I suspect we'll see this kind of presentation trickle down to most orgs that like to think they are innovative.

It's a continuation of some of those mad stream of consciousness presentations we saw from "digital visionaries" a few years back.
Native speaker here.

Führer and Leiter seem similar in meaning, but are really quite distinct, both in denotation and connotation. And, contrary to what grandparent poster said, Führer is by no means dead.

"Führer" means guide. As in, a mountain guide ("Bergführer"), tourist guide ("Reiseführer" - both guide book and person), or driver of a vehicle: driving license ("Führerschein").

Similarly, "Anführer" is a leader of a like-minded group, often in the sense that he is not a formal leader. To pick an example from current affairs: Carles Puigdemont is (formally) the president of Catalunya, and (informally) the leader ("Anführer") of the independence movement. There is quite a number of words derived from Führer.

The verb "leiten" means to direct. Thus, a "Leiter" is somebody who gives directions: a director. This was, and is, a reasonable word, especially in a professional context.

To explain the Nazi diction a bit. Think of uses like Bergführer ("mountain guide"): somebody who leads his charges skillfully through treacherous terrain. I suppose that was the kind of image the Nazis wanted to project on Adolf Hitler (who you are of course referring to). It's true that Führer may sound politically piquant to German ears, but only in quite specific contexts. It's a pretty normal word.
Unless you somehow teach people to actually run math proofs on the fly, it won't do any good either way if they start using mathematical descriptions since they will still "fake out" the math.

It is like trying to teach calculus by showing baked approaches at solving integral equations.

Just because you call a thing a Monoid does not mean it is one. Similar in how people use the design patterns in real life, except these do not demand clarity and of you partly misnamed it people are not confused.
I am most definitely Group #2. I wish I was Group #1, but I was too loyal to /. (and a few other sites), and after /. got DICEd along with the 'f*ck beta' stuff I jumped ship to Soylentnews.org which had an okay community but a rather fascist set of admins (despite what their manifesto says).

So after a few months of lurking, I registered here, and now it's my daily[1] go-to site.

" The latter is the more difficult bit."

I'm not confusing them.

An actors brand is built when they are given roles, by their appearances, which could have just as likely gone to other actors.

Their subsequent 'familiarity/likeability' is what gives them their power.

Not their talent.

The 'supporting' things that actors do to support their brand, like doing junkets - is not hard. Yes, doing 12 hours of interviews for a few days every year can be a little stressful, surely, but all the actor do is people polite and just a big gregarious and that's it.
The whole point of friend/foe system on Slashdot is that foes' comments are less visible, and friends' are more visible. It's basically a way to say "this person tends to say ridiculous things, and I don't care to read more of them" and "this person tends to say interesting things, I'd love to hear what they have to say on other subjects".

So if your approach is to "try to avoid interacting with them", it just automates that.

And you made the mistake here just as I expected. Map-reduce does not require associativity as long as you know the order of the operation execution. (Or error due to operation reordering is bounded and acceptable.)
You break the assumption any time you use floating point math.

Then you've added a property to an operation that does not require it.
Many "math types" like to do such things to simplify proofs and there you end up with variations of spherical cow results, either in applicability or performance.

This is not at all the case. It's a perfectly ordinary word. It's merely burnt in specific (but not even all) political contexts.

"because there's a surplus of good actors. "

There is a massive surplus of good actors, which is why there are tons of decent films and plays with great acting wherein the actors are paid little.

Go to a film festival. Most films are not that good actually. Lot's of hiccups in the stories, production etc.. But you'll always see a ton of good acting along with some bad.

And there are tons of decent actors who can't do it full time. My neighbourhood is full of them.

I would definitely describe "putting two coins into a vending machine to receive a ticket to hand to someone in exchange for a tasty bowl of ramen" as more technically advanced than "table for two?...[waiting, waiting]...one ramen, please...[waiting, waiting]..."everything ok here?" "yes go away" [waiting waiting] ... "here's the bill"...[waiting waiting]..."have a nice night"

Advanced tech doesn't have to be high tech.
So absolutely with you on this. Exploring visually is best for me as well.
There are disadvantages too. Most often performance and not in a small way.
Compare general comparison sorts with counting sorts for a simple example. The latter require additional properties on the value making them much less general, but you gain major performance benefits.
Additionally you assume that you can skip the specific proof given the general one. That is not the case a lot of the time.

You have to verify all required properties anyway or you end up in a similar place.

Generic does not mean general, but programming languages do not have an easy way to verify properties so you end up with general.
Well; just a point; inside Catalonia there's also a part that wants to separate from Catalonia; the Aran Valley; with their own culture, history and language; and Catalonian Government has never ever wanted to hear about that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_d'Aran

Indeed, in the brand new Catalonian Independency Law, it's stated at the very beginning that Republic of Catalonia is (will be) a non-severable country; exactly like the Spanish Constitution article that doesn't allow Catalonian referendum... Just committing the same mistakes that they denounce?
For me it was the politics as well. And not even the amount of it, but rather the toxicity of discussions. Not that things were polite in elder days... but they were not so actively hateful.

I still wonder sometimes if it's a shift in the Slashdot audience specifically - seeing how movements like neo-reaction have been springing up in the tech community in the past few years - or it just mirrors the increased polarization in American society (I know Slashdot has international audience - heck, I was a part of it for a long time - but it's definitely US-centric).
> Yes.

HN audience doesn't represent the typical iphone user. The typical iphone user appreciates privacy but is less concerned about transmitting devices than about the phone bill. I'm sure there are people who always remember switching wifi back on (or have a true unlimited contract) but most (including me) are not part of that. I see why this feature can be viewed as critical but think it'll be an improvement for the vast majority of users.

Ideally, they would've provided a switch in the settings to allow iOS10 behaviour. Maybe they'll bring that with a later version.
There are plenty of good actors, but also vastly more horrid actors. It's true that pay is driven largely by established reputation (“brand”, if you will), but that's because even Hollywood is not very good at identifying actors that will perform adequately, except by “have you demonstrated that you can do it, preferably in a very similar kind of role, and the more evidence of consistency, the better.”

Well, there IS a strike-over in the icon when you fully disable wifi.

It does (wifi assist for example) but until the phone has established if the connection works or not, the user already switched it off. When I leave the house I get ~10 sec with wifi but no actual connection. That's long enough for me to notice it but probably not enough for the iphone to detect if Wifi is really not available.
It was communicated, Apple has a page on that. It just wasn't a big part of the announcement. And the tech press covered it well enough so that it's hard to argue that users didn't know about it (at least those who are interested).

Hate to assume too much about your cultural background but my thinking is: unless there is a concrete commitment between you and your SO in the form of marriage, you should not be tied down to your current location no matter how good of a person they are and how well they treat you etc. when something like this comes up.

I have relocated to different cities during my career - 3 times to be exact. I have recently relocated to a new country in a another continent. You're right there is some amount of churn and stress involved in the process of the change. But that is only for the first 3-4 months after which you settle into a level of comfort.

However, every time I made the move I have looked back and felt that making the move, enduring the stress of change, was totally worth in the end in terms of the vast improvements in opportunities, personal development, financial gains and the many many new avenues that opens up and the new people that I met were totally worth the short term 'pain'.

It's very convenient and can be extensively configured except maybe for the mouse passthrough feature, haven't seen that before but I've seen transparency on mouse over being done before so it's probably there somewhere :)

I've been using Vim as my primary editor (and vim mode in all my IDEs for something like 8 years)

In my opinion knowing what lots of keys do in a modal editor is not that different to learning all the shortcuts in say an IDE. I learned all the shortcuts to use Eclipse very quickly when I stopped using a mouse (I've never really liked using them and avoid them at all costs)

Pick a week where not getting a lot of typing out for time in won't hurt you.

Stop using other editors. You'll forge the necessary pathways to use it with the proficiency you have in other editors and then you can look up the 1% subset of the enormous features that will actually improve your workflow.
I will concede that I almost always used the "bluetooth off" button in order to disconnect my current bluetooth device. I did this because it was faster and more convenient than going into the Settings menu and disconnecting that device specifically. It's fewer clicks this way.

So if most iPhone users are using these buttons to disconnect from their current network, or to disconnect the current bluetooth device, then I understand why they'd change them to have that meaning.

Disconnecting from the current wifi network or disconnecting the current bluetooth device probably comes up somewhat frequently as a task the user wants to accomplish, whereas actually disabling the radios likely does not come up much at all outside of airplane mode. So I get what Apple is doing. I wonder why they chose to maintain the button UI though. Perhaps it's because people are expecting it, and are used to it?
Not who you asked but: Public wifis tend to stop working if too many users log in. For me that frequently happens at airports. They still broadcast and pretend to have a connection but no throughput. So switching it off is the only solution. When I then go somewhere else (esp abroad), I'd still like to join the next wifi. Having it switched off for the rest of the day can be very expensive.
If it's a hyper-competetive, low margin industry, then it's not an oligopoly.
You can't write headers to messages you receive.The only way is to download the message (including the three 78MB PDF attachments you got from that graphic designer), add the header field, upload everything and delete the first message.

But if your longish snoozes end at the same time, you can use a flag.

(IMAP's cache semantics say: If you download a part of the message it stays valid. Other people cannot change what you have downloaded.)
In the Advanced Settings, there's an option called "Scanning always available - Let Google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when Wi-Fi is off".

As far as I know, the feature came disabled by default, and Android asked you the first time you turned off Wi-Fi if you wanted it on, so it's not really the same as iOS. On the other hand, some people have complained that upgrading to Android 6 has turned it on for them, but that might have been a bug.

In any case, this is a passive scan, it didn't connect you again after you moved places or during the night.

Josef Muller-Brockmann's books are a decent primer on the basics of graphic design (including typography). They are old but the information in them is not necessarily out of date, and the writing style is very helpful since he includes examples and explanations of how to apply the concepts practically.

If you are going to read them I would recommend "Grid Systems in Graphic Design" and "The Graphic Artist and His Design Problems". "History of the Poster" is worth getting too. Make sure to get them as books, not PDFs. His lessons about margins and font size make a lot more sense when you are viewing them in the book laid out according to his own principles.

/edit The Vignelli Canon is a nice read too. See: http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf
Because if they changed it, 1% would be happy while the other 99% would complain about high charges. And $1000 phone bills because of an iCloud backup are the stories that go viral.

You can warn 3 times and people would still agree and complain later. Disallowing options that are costly for the vast majority is the only option. The number of iphone users with true unlimited data is probably <5%.

Lightmap optimizations for iOS
One thing I've found that greatly helps me keep work and non-work separated when working at home is to dress like I'm going to the office.

Normally at home I either go barefoot (during warmer weather) or just wear socks (during colder weather). When working at home, I put on shoes and that makes it feel sufficiently different than normal home time that I have no trouble getting into and staying in work mode. When I'm done for the day, I kick off the shoes and it feels just like I returned home from a day away.
