For me the productivity boost is mostly a matter of having a suite of very powerful shortcuts/commands that I can use everywhere. I use them in all IDE's (IntelliJ, Visual Studio, Eclipse all have great vim plugins); I use them in any terminal I get access to, even when I can't install software; and I use them in less, Chrome, man and other other tools that copy vim's shortcuts either natively or through plugins.

In actual day to day use, it is more a matter of saving my fingers from stressful yoga tricks.
Interestingly enough Ireland is not actually getting fined, The 13bn once paid by Apple will belong to the Irish state not the EU.
I heard an NPR interview yesterday, and they were pretty clear that they based this on previous studies done by others that found it in rats. They had to spend 2-3 years figuring out the right technique to test for it in human cadavers, so their work was really in confirming that the same system is present in humans.

I wanna to use iPad for development (so I can walk outside home and sit anywhere) but for the kind of development I do, I still haven't find a good setup.

I work with python, F#, html, sqlite, postgresql (plus mnay things more. MANY).

I will not learn VIM o Emacs. I have use both, I don't like them at all. I will be fine with nano if it were more robust.

I could use ssh, but:

- Need a good terminal editor, not VIM or Emacs, with good syntax highlight and light auto-complete.
- Need to easy run/compile/build/etc. Is ok If I need to setup the comands myself but need a way to execute them easily on the editor.

And the most important thing is how I do sql? things like the psql are too bare, and my sql tend to be LARGE. Exist a terminal based "ide" for sql?

-----

I have Textastic, Pythonista, Prompt and a few others. None have the editor + terminal and way to create macros that run on ssh. I think Coda of panic have it, but no for the languages I need (F#, C#, etc).

---

The other way is to run a HTML Editor (Maybe monaco of VS Code?) coupled with a JS SSH client and customize the iPad keyboard with the extra keys. I have tried several online IDES but none are made for this use-case!
Really an unbeatable headline. I enjoy that many of the authors proudly touted their rejection letters around for a long time after, suggesting that they were probably "too far ahead in their field" for a no-brainer acceptance from the traditional outlets, and still knew the magnitude of their discovery.
Could I just setup my db and then hook it up to Django's admin? Right now I'm trying to basically do a restructure of a database by having a set of csvs (4 sets of files or 4 "tables" bigger than excel can open but I use bash to pull the columns and sample data) and wrote some scripts to import them into postgres.

I'm just inferring, but it sounds like it's possible to get a car loan/lease through Uber. It might be more tax efficient to have Uber take repayments directly from your earnings? So if first $X earned on Uber that day go to your repayments, it's worth earning $X on Uber to pay off the car, and then drive on whatever app pays the most.
>> if your code needs a comment to be understood, it would be better to rewrite it so it's easier to understand.

I both agree and disagree with this... C is a small language, and it shouldn't take a huge amount of time to parse the source code to find out what's going on if variables / function names are self-documenting etc.

However, if you're dealing with a large code base and trying to track down where a variable is declared (and subsequently defined) for the purposes of maintenance or updating legacy code, comments hinting the what the structure underneath that label represents are incredibly useful (and more importantly, time and energy saving)

Tactical Questions You Should Ask the Recruiter to Ace Your Phone Interview
The body provides many signals when you are stressed. But for those who are chronically stressed the signals are always present and therefore undetectable.

It wasn't until my mid-30's where I was able to have some downtime and learn what a healthy mind and body truly felt like. With a healthy baseline I can now quickly detect stress signals. This can be a subtle as feeling my face is wrinkled, a slight acid/burning feeling in my veins, absent mindedness, depression, quick/aggressive responses, flatulence, slight backache/tension, sleeping poorly, etc.

When I detect any of the stress signals I use one of the following techniques depending on the severity: I make "no" my default response to any new requests. I take deep breaths and softly smile. I switch to 100% selfish thinking; "what do I want ?", "what are my short and long term goals and what is my next step towards them ?". I plan. I make the gym and sleep a priority. I triage my todo list, cancel trips, and communicate with anyone who might get impacted. I avoid the news. I drink more water. I focus on anything beautiful immediately in front of me (usually the beauty of my meal since my mind tends to wander while eating).
Well, do you think that IKEA and FIAT are American companies, too? Both are having their tax deals investigated as well.

It's kind of hilarious to hear Apple bitching that when it marks up its phones a ridiculous $100 for $20 worth of memory, it has to share its $80 profit.

Neither of these companies deserves our sympathy. They are two big amoral profit-seeking entities wrestling for money in a way that won't meaningfully affect your life. Whether Apple wins or Qualcomm wins or they split the difference, it's neither justice nor injustice.

Agreed. I'm grabbing a superbook dock from sentio so I can just use an android phone with 4 gb of ram to power my chromebook/netbook. Their sentio os app renders a fill android Gui and I don't have to maintain an extra laptop or tablet setup.

I'd really rather not use android, but between tasker, mouse support, and now the phone-laptop dock, along with creating the phablet category, android continues to out innovate Apple.

I've had iPhones for years and can't switch back. My macbook is good for what it does but today's pixelbook from Google might be interesting.

Warning this is coming from someone highly involved in Oklahoma politics.

Oklahoma towns and cities tends to be more community centered. This may be do to a lack of money in a community or physical isolation from the rest of the country. But it is still there.

There are the same problems that other cities have, but we do provide good housing for most of our citizens. Tulsa, in particular through the work of the Mental Health Association of Oklahoma has ended chronic homeless within its borders. We are working on the same in Oklahoma City. We believe hard work matters and people can be leave poverty. The community providing the support systems for that to happen. Now, no one is going to give it to you. We just allow an affordable education path for betterment. And have a strong network of nonprofits and family foundations supporting programs of many kinds.

That is just in the area I am fortunate to work in. Oklahoma is not perfect one just has to look at where we stand national on things like teen pregnancy, women incarnation, drug abuse etc. It is just there are some places where community still matters and Oklahoma is one of those places.
I feel the same way. vim is optimized for editing text rather than writing new text. The assumption is that we are editing existing text more often than writing new text when coding.

> It isn't a punishment, stop calling it like a punishment.

I'm sorry, but a selectively enforced law, only applied retroactively with NO attempt to curb the practice proactively is definitely punishment for whomever they arbitrarily choose to apply it to. Were there an attempt to actually punish the offenders (the states making illegal laws), one could believe they are making an attempt at preventing this law breaking. Otherwise, one can't help but see this as one of those laws left on the book to build offenders.

> Hopefully [...]

Exactly...hopefully. The EU doesn't enforce this evenly, they don't attempt to proactively prevent it, etc. To understand the real reason these enforcements occur, ask yourself why the EU doesn't take preventative action. You'll eventually arrive at the real answer.

They're fairly strict; if you code to RnRS and use only SRFIs then you'll find your code to be fairly portable... And nigh-useless.

The problem with the Scheme standards is that the committee refuses to be opinionated about implementation details, and so the standard is defined in terms of itself with little to no consideration for the environment in which Scheme will operate. In practical terms, this means that if you want to communicate with other libraries, or virtually any aspect of the system on which you're running, then you're venturing outside of the Scheme specification and into implementation-specific territory.

Scheme is a toy language. The implementations are not, but then they aren't Scheme so much as they are Scheme with useful extensions.
> Male chicks actually get gassed or shredded alive (!) to death right after hatching because they're fairly useless for the meat production.

This isn't true. Most male chicks are slaughtered as broilers, just like most female chicks. (In fact broilers were initially the males that were culled from the egg-laying females.)

This is disingenuous and misleading. The centralisation of entertainment -- in books, TV, movies -- has had exactly the opposite effect. Prior to this, oral history and storytelling were some of our most important forms of entertainment. These were largely replaced by mass media which is much more fixed in form. We can certainly respond to and adapt mass media, but it's not the same as having a say in how stories are told.
Who is upvoting this? This is terrible.

"None of this adheres to the rigid circular structure and ancient underpinnings of the Campbellian Hero’s Journey model. What is required is a new kind of storytelling, a narrative engine that lends itself to our nonlinear, networked, omni-perspective digital age. The kind of storytelling where any audience member can suddenly and at any point start contributing to the narrative.
It’s a model of storytelling we call the Collective Journey."

- Nope sorry, you haven't changed the narrative in any way. People have always had opinions. It doesn't change what was written, just because its on the internet vs. newspaper vs. word of mouth.
On the small side perhaps, but 175 % would be at the other extreme (unless there's something that causes OP to have even smaller fonts than I have with a monitor with similar pixel pitch). IMO 125 % at the very most should be enough to not get called a not decent sized typeface.

In my mind I don't own a macbook as much as I own a warranty and an immediately bootable backup.

Apples backups were the reason I switched to Mac from windows a decade ago. Can't be beat.

I run Time Machine on one hd at office, carbon copy cloner on another hd at home, all they the USB hub.

It's not a backup if it doesn't exist in more than 1 place.

The Best Prototyping Tools for Designers in 2017
That's a very informative link -- I can see how that might be helpful context for a new user. It's hard for me to get into that mental frame, since my first text editor was edlin for DOS. I'll stick by my recommendation to type first and study later, however. Experience is a powerful teacher.
I've found that there is a certain type of engineer who falls prey to their own arrogance. They are good at the job so they don't see the value in having someone else come in to tell them what they should be doing. As far as they see it an MBA isn't doing anything special that they couldn't do themselves. You see the same thing with developers who don't see the point in UX people. Being good enough (which is not the same as being good) at something often makes people believe that something is easier than it actually is.

In some respects they're right. If you are a team lead, you could probably do most of what an MBA does. If you have finished an undergrad CS degree you can definitely finish Business School. It's just that this point completely neglects the fact that if you could do all the management tasks AND develop at the same time, your company probably wouldn't be paying a MBA an exorbitant amount of money to do the management work. Yeah a lot of times it seems like management just moves from pointless meeting to pointless meeting especially as an engineer sitting in on them, but that flow of information between stakeholders is incredibly important. It's absolutely inefficient, but unfortunately there's often not a better way. Like 90% of management responsibilities are just coordinating and communicating.
TL;DR: The Hero's Journey doesn't apply to things it was never supposed to apply to, and that aren't really related.

Ask HN: How was the acquisition of your company handlded?

No. Your tone is incredibly incivil, and ignores the entirety of my point. Nowhere did I say we shouldn't have progress. Nowhere did I say progress was bad. I pointed out that we need to watch out for those who are going to be displaced because of that progress.

Your outright dismissal of others who are going to suffer because of the progress is extremely insensitive. Sadly, this is to be expected from this community. People who push "disruption for disruption's sake," and give no thought to those who are effected, because they feel they will never have to deal with the negative consequences.

Next time this comes up, do not outright dismiss people as being "against progress."
I'm a cryptocurrency enthusiast myself. To be more precise, the talk is ignorant of the history of money as a system of domination, and utopian in that it ignores critical vulnerabilities intrinsic to distributed-consensus currency systems.

No problem! It's important to appreciate skills in others you wish you had. If you've never read Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics" I think you would love it.

Definitely. That's when the 3d revolution happened. Sega's Yu Suzuki was putting out hit after hit of course staring in the mid to late 80's with Space Harrier and OutRun and peaked in the 90's with Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Daytona USA.
You forget the interactive nature of WYSIWYG editors- if you have tooling enough to throw together a UI in front of a group of people as part of requirements gathering and just 'do you like how this looks' it can be very powerful- especially when you can show up a few hours later and have the broad strokes mostly working. It is also a natural design constraint- if it is not easy to do with a the generator it's probably going to require to do extra work so you can give a near equivalent that is less expensive but easier to do.

Without WYSIWYG and current web dev you can bring it to a whiteboard and hash out a design and then find out that for some reason that it is really annoying to make work well on everything you need to support. It's really the consensus driver that makes WYSIWYG always a very helpful tool.

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but because I honestly wonder if this is the explanation.

Could you be farsighted? When people say "perfect eye sight" they (typically) mean 20/20 or better, but that's for distance vision. So if you can see things in the distance way better than your friends, that doesn't (necessarily) mean that your up-close vision is great.

The only gripe I have with emacs help, is that it does require some basic skill to use it. The help opens in a window in the existing frame and you need to know how to jump back and forth and close.

Humans have natural lifespans. We've had very few people live to be older than 120. There's no reason to not naturally extend your life if you can, but I'm not sure we'll find that experience all that enjoyable as individuals (or it will require a disconnect to do so) and it isn't obvious there is any benefit to society from it (imagine Howard Hughes still directing his empire from his hotel penthouse today).
