Definitely useful in certain situations. Can't comment on how well the conversion works (yet) but I can see how this might be useful to a lot of people.

Me? I still mostly prefer reading physical academic papers because of needing to flip back and forth for re-reading (clarification) and adding personal notes/graphs/calculations.

Good job guys.
Folks here assume "text editing" is just structured code editing. I use vim for more than just editing code trees in one language. I edit unstructured text (lists, notes, articles), semi-structured markup (latex, markdown), and machine-readable data that is not in the form of a tree (csvs, tsvs, scraper output, training data that comes in arbitrary formats).

The mindset I've come to appreciate for vim is that the goal is to have a zen garden for editing text. Editing text efficiently and seamlessly is the end goal, and what that text is used for is incidental.
In the past draw distances were much worse. But those restrictions spurred creativity. For example, the miserable draw distance of the PlayStation 1 resulted in the developers of Silent Hill to hide faraway rendering with a thick fog, which soon became an iconic theme for all Silent Hill games, even as the hardware far surpassed the need to keep it.
Bandwidth and local storage considerations are missing from this. All of those features are great, but if my decentralized application uses all of my available bandwidth and disk space, then it is not very great.

This is very relevant because decentralized means that all that centralized storage and bandwidth needs to split up and amplified to account for offline users.
Just tried your suggestion: it ends up looking much uglier with font colors imo.
I think one of the main problems is that GDP is used as the measure of national prosperity. GDP goes down when people decide to work less. Some kind of net wealth measurement would be much better parameter for a country to try and maximize. Include natural resources and the biosphere in that wealth. In this scheme taking oil from the ground and burning it would likely be a net negative on national wealth while using oil to make carbon fiber for an airplane would be a net positive. Growing a crop that builds the soil instead of depleting might add more to Gross Domestic Wealth than a more "profitable" crop.
Scarcity, and being able to prove that you went there and got your dime irradiated.

Anyone could press a dime into a fancy container, but a fake could be easily detected with a geiger counter. There was no other way to irradiate dimes at the time.
I'm on the same page. I'm not totally sure it's worth the money they're asking.
Why are democratically elected governments and Soviet-style planning mutually exclusive? Democratically elected governments do all sorts of horrible and unjust things. For modern examples see Erdogan and Duterte.

The land itself is privately owned, sure, but undeveloped land is not very useful.
Maybe I'm lucky, but I've used Postman quite a bit and never ran into an issue caused by it being Electron based. For that matter, my favorite code editor, VS Code, is in that same boat.
"Since the carriers were not sealed, there is no certainty that a dime they hold today had ever been irradiated."

Unless one owned a Geiger counter, I would argue that it is entirely possible that the dime held when it was "irradiated" had not ever been irradiated. When I was reading the article, my thinking was that if no one had actually confirmed that this took place I'd be reading an article about scam artists in the 50s and 60s selling "irradiated" dimes.
> More organized than a random comment on HN...

You mentioned you are bad at this, just a little unsolicited help - I am not the guy you responded to but even initially got my back up reading that. I was thinking jeez this guy puts his hand out to help, agrees to meet one other local dev, comments how he knows half of them and basically gets accused of laziness / slacktivism!

It’s clear you didn’t mean that now, tone from text is really hard to judge and people default to assuming the worst, even subconsciously so perhaps leading with your clarification in the second post or somtheing lkke it may increase your conversion to conversation rate!

Sorry if this insults you, it is not meant to.

Also, I’m putting words into the mouth of the OP of this sub thread too which are more than likely wrong.
It is clear what Venezuelans are in favor of; they just had an election. If you support undermining the election for their own good... who is the authoritarian here?

Well, someone made up the story of the pegasus. They didn't see a pegasus and just make up a poem about it.

Even if we restrict the elaboration and propagation of these stories to true believers, these memes are subject to selection effects. Entertainment value is surely a competitive advantage for a long-lived folk tale.
Yeah the NBC News article, from June 2017, someone "recently published a paper" -- in July 2016 (I suppose on a cosmic scale...). At the risk of...ad-hominism, the site they linked doesn't inspire confidence. For one thing, the peer-review process: http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/about/editorialPolicies#peerRe... is basically two editors from the same company, and eventually one or more of a group of "advisors" ( http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/about/displayMembership/3 ), 7 out of 17 being "Independent Researchers".
"In principle, some purely physical systems that are not biological or organic may also be conscious.”

The article is talking less about "does the Universe contain consciousness?" but more about "can non-biological things have consciousness?"

The author quotes a scientist who thinks stars that emit jets in a single direction might be doing so consciously. If that's the case, then the scientist raises the question if other non-biological things in the universe might be conscious.

It sounds like no one is taking this idea seriously, but some guy wants to test it just to rule it out.
If you read through the TEE design requirements the goal is DRM, and data exchange (not just a handshake) is permitted. Apple uses a dedicated mechanism so that the entire path (sensor->authentication) is hidden from apple by physically bonding the pieces together. This is why, when you get your screen replaced, you have to teach your phone your prints again: they are gone. The Android CTS permits a path from the sensor to the trusted environment, a path which could be subject to interception.

The need for a trusted path has been well understood since the 1960s at least (and its roots run back through the "break" key on the teletype); it's reflected in the rainbow books and of course in the design of Multics. Plenty of people at Google understand this well; some of them even participated in writing those rainbow books!

You can ship a device without passing CTS and it is very common (though TBF, things like my Mavic drone don't have a thumbprint sensor).

And just a few months ago, HTC shipped a phone with unencrypted fingerprints: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/10/htc-finge...

Again, I'm not holding Apple up as some paragon, it was simply the example I used to point out the importance of security design at depth, defense at depth, and integration into all aspects of a system.

The one Swagger docs site my team used, we all thought it was completely broken for the first several weeks of trying to access it.

Turns out there was a small red ("error" colored...) header bar near the top, collapsed by default. You need to click that to expand out all the API docs. Fun design.
If that's really such a waste then where are all the remote-only companies eating everybody's lunch? Has it not yet been long enough since remote working has reached some workable peak?
The larger the dynamic range, the more bits you need to represent the possible values in between.

Imagine a gradient that smoothly transitions from black to white. 8 bit color means only 256 shades of luminance, which would quickly show banding artifacts.

In fact, the entire reason we gamma encode images is because 256 is too small for even a low dynamic range monitor. Gamma encoding is a clever technique to give us more bits to represent shadows, which humans are more sensitive to than highlights.
NIMBY is such a tired criticism. I live in an exurban/rural town on the East Coast. My town pretty consistently votes against major developments. We like the apple orchards and forest land like it is. We don’t want suburban style developments that increase traffic and taxes or industrial development outside of the light industry on the north side of town near the highway. If you want to call it NIMBY go ahead. As far as I’m concerned it’s just voting for how the local community should be.
I'm more worried about airport full body scanners in the THz range than cell phones in the 4-6GHz bands (and I'm not that worried).
What cannot be used through SSH/PuTTY is the IDE that you're comparing text-only Vim to.
This person also forgot to mention that the original human genome project was not even the sequence of a single individual- it was several people.

The other thing this article doesnt mention is the idea of coverage. Its not like a jigsaw puzzle with one copy of each tile-- every time a whole genome is sequenced it is done so 30 times over to ensure that the pieces are correct.

Finally, Read length varies from technology to technology. This one claims average 10k base pairs.

That wasn't there half an hour ago :-).

That LWN article was from June 2017 and 4.10 was released in February, so I think that means these tests predate any of the changes it discusses.
Do you really believe people use gmail because of its brand?

Yes. Most definitely. I don't use Gmail and I recently had a discussion with my coworkers about Gmail. When I asked why they use it one person said, "because it's Google" and another said, "What else would I use? Yahoo or Hotmail? Hahahah". A third person responded by saying , "it's just easy because it's Google so it connects to everything else from them."
The only thing that you mentioned that would make me a little bit nervous is that you have been working entirely by yourself.

I would think a github repo with 1000 stars would give you the opportunity to work with others. Maybe start accepting some pull requests, or join another open source project.

Otherwise, everything else that you mentioned seems like pretty run of the mill imposters syndrome. You built some products, and real users ended up using these products. That seems like some pretty solid experience right there.
(Offtopic, but HNers thinking of creating a startup that sells tools to developers should heed these comments.)
You shouldn't feel bad if it's part of your process and the code is not meeting the standards agreed upon.
The 19th century is especially interesting because it's one of the few points in history where it benefited the rich to grant purchasing power to the non-rich.

In other words, the industrial revolution can't happen unless there is a broad base of consumers driving demand.

So to the prediction that "the rich get richer until a big war or revolution resets things", you might be able to add, "or the rich decide that they can secure future riches by sharing present-day riches".

In effect, they are investing in the growth of a strong consumer class to cement the demand for the widgets their factories produce.
Very hard do to. Chinese population envy Americans their consumerist lifestyle. Various developing countries watch Hollywood movies and TV serials want some of that. Even if Americans led by example, that kind of economically wasteful lifestyle has become so associated with success it would take a long, long time to change culture.
This problem is called sequence assembly or genome assembly, not sequence alignment (which is a related problem).
The default saturated colors are a bit garish. But you can set them to be anything you want. See the hyperref documentation.
For any founder getting started, I highly recommend the book traction: How any startup can achieve explosive growth.

While most of the advice is better suited to well-funded startups a lot of the tactics can be improvised for smaller startups as well.

Another tactic I highly recommend in your emails to prospects is to use personalization. Make sure that your opening has a direct and personal appeal to the customer. In order to look for avenues for personalization look at news about the target company, events and product launches or news aligned in the business segment. I have even seen one industrious sales rep use college football news as part of their personalization tactic.

When this is the outcome, I am definitely against democracy. The Nazis were elected into power through democratic processes, does that make anything they did somehow ligitimate? Do the venezuelan people deserve to die of starvation and lack of basic medical necesities b/c they elected a criminal into power (assuming your stats are true)?
Yoga and Hinduism have always been preaching this. The universe and for that matter, even a stone is a living entity. There is a higher cosmic intelligence and consciousness that is capable of taking macro/micro decisions.
I have Paw through my SetApp bundle that I pay €9 a month for. Don't think I'd buy it as it's basically the same as Postman though maybe a little prettier.
I feel like this post does nothing in terms of educating readers. It all sounds very interesting, but I didn't learn anything. It alters between putting the blame on technical limitations and ignorance, so I would have liked to see a suggestion on how to address either of these.
Have your considered pairing with the other devs either full time or just once in a while to get on the same page? At one extreme you can just not do code reviews since you're pairing and at the other you can just do a weekly tech retro with the team, agree to style etc and stop wasting cycles on it during code reviews. We do both but weekly retros are magic for this type of problem.

Immunotherapy – Translating Research into Patient Outcomes
I have family in Westchester, so I'm somewhat familiar with the area.

I dislike how old the houses are, and the way it's laid out, the residential areas feel like they're out in the country. And central AC isn't universal there: the house in Bronxville my aunt and uncle lived in when I was a kid didn't have it, though they installed it shortly before they sold it in 2003 (and like most New York Jews, moved to Florida). Not sure about the house in Harrison my cousin just bought; I'll have to ask her.

I'm also not a fan of how the suburbs of NYC all orbit around the city. All of the good shopping is in the city. All of the jobs are in the city. When my aunt came to visit me for my college graduation, she was shocked at the massive amount of restaurants and shopping in the suburbs of Dallas, because where she comes from, the suburbs are just bedroom communities and all the businesses are in the city. I'm also used to working in the suburbs; in Dallas right now, I live in the burbs and commute farther out in the burbs. You can't do that in New York.

And the suburbs there are laid out like shit too: Dallas suburbs are all built on an arterial grid, where the suburbs contain endless six-lane divided arterial roads placed one mile apart from each other both north-south and east-west. On the other hand, major thoroughfares in Westchester are two-lane roads, and nothing is laid out with any rhyme or reason.

My ultimate fantasy is for somebody to dig Plano, TX out of the ground and transplant it into a blue state. I want to live somewhere that's exactly like where I live now, except in a state with state-level LGBT protections and a 0% chance of electing a government that will reverse them.

To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, here are some Street View shots of residential neighborhoods in Plano. I'm looking for some place that looks identical:

For me, Gmail solves the spam problem. I don't even remember the last time I've had a false positive or a piece of spam that made it to my inbox.

My entire family uses Gmail (our domain is hosted via Google Apps) and as far as I know, it's been very close to perfect for all of us.

> As a simple example, take the water out of the tube. Do the animals continue dumping rocks on top of the marshmallow, since that process used to work, or do they appear to understand that it was the water in the tube that made the rock-dropping process work?

All you're doing is adding more variables which makes the causal relationship more complicated, it doesn't diminish the understanding of the original causal relationship.
Things like the No Child Left Behind Act don't necessitate a license, per say, but they do create license-obtaining-like qualifications to be met (for students, teachers, and school districts alike). The Act itself is preventing would-be good teachers from being certified / accepted into school districts to teach so in some sense the "licensing" of a teacher is holding back those teachers who look and go elsewhere to obtain a secure career. Where as in the past teaching was a solid and secure career for one to strive towards, in this day and age it is definitely not the same, at all.
How many clients do you have outside of the various intermediaries?

It seems like you can deliver, just have to find a foot in the door on your own. It might be worth practicing this on smaller opportunities.

I also am not sure of the ethical/legal implications of asking your current clients through various platforms to act as references and/or refer work directly to their colleagues without the intermediary involved, even if they can not themselves cut out the middleman.

Unfortunately here on HN there seems to be a much larger supply than demand: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=seeking%20freelancer&sort=byDa...
As far as i can see it, to be conscious is to have a subject experience of reality and (this is i am sure about yet) to have some sense of purpose (however mundane).

To talk about the universe being conscious in this sense, seems to be meaningless to me. I get this strange feeling that we are trying to force something that is vastly mysterious (numinous, not divine) into our world view of how lifeforms work on earth.

Reminds me of a fascinating discussion with Richard Dawkins from a while ago. If you can ignore the pseudo-scientific babble from Deepak Chopra and the annoying host, Dawkins makes some deeply interesting points worth thinking about.

I do sometimes feel bad when I do code reviews. But only when I find out after code was merged, that I missed something when I approved the changes.

The process is frustrating on the other side, when reviews come back 2-4 times. Only because "I should be better than this!" If there's more than 2 rounds of comments on a pull/merge/patch, I'm upset that I didn't catch the small things the first time around, and that (even though only on a very small level, I'm wasting the time of the reviewer). Otherwise I'm happy to explain why my way is better, or when it's not. I learn something that makes me a better programmer, and the codebase gets better for it.

If the other devs on your team don't like code review, perhaps they need an assignment that doesn't require code review? Because if I'm reviewing your code and that bothers you... I'd be hard pressed to trust ANY of the code you write.

Also: If you find you're wasting a lot of time for style, mandate a code formatter. Then if you have CI, create a separate job for code style, you can check that first before you even start to review code, it'll save everyone time in the long run. Then, you'll only have to comment on logic. Style is VERY important when doing code review, every 1/1000th of a second I spend trying to parse the style conflicts takes away from the ability to notice an error in the code. If you're concerned about security or performance at all, you don't need additional overhead of having to read code through style errors.
Right, my point is their underwriting department is a joke.

It's inconsistent, bad actors linger and good actors are booted for a "bad name" while other actors in the same space continue.

I agree on your overall point. However in the case of Instagram, it was on iPhone years before Android, and iPhones generally have always had very good color accuracy. The early cameras, however, were crap, and filters helped immensely there. Garbage in, filtered garbage out.
