There's a lot more physical movement involved in the end/ctrl+backspace method, even though it's fewer keystrokes.

The big thing with Vim's modal editing is that it allows you to have keyboard shortcuts involving keys that aren't way off in the boonies. Some examples:

* / or ? to search for text

* dd to delete the current line

* Stuff like ciw or ci" will delete a word or the contents of a double-quoted string, and drop you into insert mode. I use this one constantly.

When prompted, people try to come up with really crazy complex things, but frankly the bigger thing is just being able to actually reach things.

If I tried to use shortcuts in other editors to the extent that I do in vim, my hands would constantly be in pain. This is why I never got into emacs, though I've seen some folks be terrifyingly fast with it as well.
Which is my point I guess - Facebook apps have had much more intrusive access to user data in the past. The only reason people care now is political.
Well said. No matter the influence of Russians nor widespread manipulation by Cambridge Analytica, the reality is that people chose to believe these things without their own personal endeavor into critical inquiry. And I'm not talking about that white working class "base" that people like to attribute as Trump's secret weapon.

I know plenty of people, truly well meaning individuals, who are not the dumb animals most outlets like to paint the Trump supporters as. They were just conned into it all, and I'm sure shady Facebook ads had a hand in it, but ultimately it was just trusting people suckered in by a television personality (or character, even).

If this election is the spark that eventually instills a sense of proper analytical reasoning skills in the United States at large, then I'll be satisified. And I say this as a person who, if I could vote in this country, would certainly have not have entertained the idea of Donald Trump at all.
As far as Japan's position in the 80's, they were in a massive bubble through most of the decade all the way up to '91. When the bubble burst Japan was stopped dead in it's tracks. The 90's are called the 'Glacial era' or 'Lost decade' of Japanese economic development.

Time will tell if China is in a bubble and if so when it will pop.
I think Chipotle was overvalued before the scandal. It was expanding rapidly and became a fad stock. I think Facebook was fairly valued, and trading at a reasonable PE ratio compared to other large tech companies.

Online privacy is too abstract to cause a visceral reaction of disgust in the average person, but food poisoning scandals can do that, especially to parents or people who recently ate at the restaurant. (Actually, framing the Facebook privacy issue as one involving the endangerment of children would probably get a lot more traction among the general public than the current media narrative.)
Don't forget the Debian bug that created weak keys from 2006 to 2008. These sorts of things happen. It's best not to attempt to disparage the possibility.

G.C. Rota, on being assigned to help check the problems of Linear Operators for Dunford and Schwartz as a graduate student at Yale (while it was still a manuscript), but finding himself unable to solve one of the problems:

After a few hours, feeling somewhat downcast, we all got up and left. The next morning I met Jack, who patted me on the back and told me, "Don't worry, I could not do it either." I did not hear about Problem Twenty of Section Nine for another three years. A first-year graduate student had taken Dunford's course in linear operators. Dunford had assigned him the problem, the student had solved it, and developed an elegant theory around it. His name is Robert Langlands.

I'm really torn in how to respond to claims of whataboutism.

On one hand, if something is simply business as usual, despite any misconceptions otherwise, then cries of whataboutism can be a bit misplaced.

On the other hand, if some sort of tide has shifted, and business as usual can become business of the past, then I think dismissing similar past offenses from others could make sense.

I have hard time attempting to evaluate this, to say the least...
Cambridge Analytica’s Facebook Data Abuse Shouldn't Get Credit for Trump
> The winning candidate spent significantly less money in this instance.

Possibly, or political systems are ripe for misdirecting where funds originate now.

> Unions and Corporations should be allowed to express their views on a candidate.

Totally agree, the problem becomes when those are shell corporations or money funneled via foreign entities.

I am sure any sovereign nation would not want the majority of the money influencing their own people's choices from external sources to the country.

It just wouldn't be best for quality of life and making sure what is done is right for the country if the actual citizens have less say in the direction of it. So much money is in now that targeting and manipulation of votes from foreign wealth is the absolute norm, that is poisoning democracy and freedom, the very thing we want to protect and are sworn to uphold.
I do agree, but it's also annoying that people keep using this to try and downplay stories like the Russia investigation and the fact that shady practices are going on at places like Facebook and in our political campaigns.

People did vote for Trump. Without someone twisting their arm.

But there is still merit to these other stories (even if the perspective that they got Trump elected is false).
The fact that our most prestigious scientific journals are publishing mass-audience blog posts celebrating the sexist political indoctrination of our youth shows we have a lot of work to do on restoring objectivity to our institutions.
In Canada the Government is occasionally elected without the majority of votes. It is also where the Prime Minister is simply the "first among the caucus" and not elected in a separate election.

These are referred to as "minority" Governments.
The article doesn't mention permethrine, a chemical derived from an oil found in chrysanthemums that is deadly to ticks and other creepy crawlies.

Spray your clothes with permethrine--pants, shirts, socks, hats--and let them dry. It kills the ticks as soon as they land on you.

Repellent is also a good idea, and tuck your pants into your socks. Don't screw around; Lyme disease isn't something you want to get. It's rampant in the Northeast, and is spreading.

Ticks in their nymph stage latch onto mice, so if you are at risk of ticks in your yard, fill some cardboard tubes with permethrine-laced cotton or dryer lint and toss them under bushes, woodpiles, etc. -- anywhere that mice might hang out. Mice will take the lint back to their holes and line their nests with it, and the permethrine will wipe out the baby ticks. Permethrine is said to be harmless to humans and other mammals, but still, be careful with it.

I have scripts and compiled utilities that transform HOSTS file to tinydns format. I use nsd as well which uses BIND format. I prefer the tinydns format.

Zone files are more flexible than HOSTS files, but I still use HOSTS as well. I have never had a concern about the speed of using HOSTS. It is certainly faster than DNS.

There is a comment in this thread where someone asserts that HOSTS was never designed to handle "millions of entries".

I would be interested in reading about a user who visits "millions" of websites or otherwise needs to do lookups on "millions" of domains.

I maintain a database of every IP address I am likely to use on a repeated basis, in several formats, with kdb+ as the "master" format. I believe most users will never come close to intentionally accessing "millions" of IP addresses in their entire lifetime.FN1 I could be mistaken and it would be interesting to learn of a user who can dispel this belief.

FN1. If you think about this, it may cause you to question the necessity of DNS for such users. Or not. Times have changed since the advent of HOSTS. They have also changed since the advent of DNS. For example, using "consumer" hardware, I can fit all the major ICANN TLD zones on external storage and the entire com zone (IMO, by far the most important) in memory. This is many, many more domains than I will ever need to look up. Assuming at best I will not live much longer than 100 years, I could not and will not explore them all or even a significant fraction.

Imagine you live in a room with an investment banker. Every day, $100 appears in the room and the investment banker decides how much you get to keep. Every year, you get to decide whether or not to push a button that sprays rancid feces on both of you.

On Day 1, the banker lets you keep $30. He keeps this $30 for another 10 years. Then, he starts cutting your share by 2 pennies per week ($1 per year). It’s annoying but not too bad, but you don’t want to be covered in feces so you don’t push the button.

A decade later, you’ve only got $20. A decade after that, $10. Five years later, only $5 out of every $100.

At some point, it becomes strategic to push the button. Sure, your life sucks and having your tattered clothes covered in feces doesn’t help. But the banker in the bespoke suit is harmed more, and might rethink his allocation tomorrow.

And when you do push that button, the stinkier the feces, the better.
Well, I want my computer to be able to do perfect math, without mistakes too. Its one of the reasons people use computers to begin with !
Same thing, it seems it would be simpler for me than using WorldNomads. I don't really know where I'll be next more than a 2-3 weeks ahead, and every time I finalize my next couple legs and head somewhere new, I need to apply for a new policy with WorldNomads. Also WorldNomads can be pretty expensive, sometimes it's a bit of a turn off. But I sort of trust that they'll cover me since they cater to "extreme" activities, so I still go with them.

Wondering what sort of coverage SafetyWing will do and their policy is way too long and opaque for me to make sense of. If they could have something that's like "You can go canyoneering/scuba diving/mountain biking" like WorldNomads does, and add to this "anywhere in the world with a subscription and we'll cover you for x$/month", I'd be sold. Even if it's the same price as WorldNomads in the end, just for the convenience.
The point of such a database would be to bring to light specific cases, so actions can be taken against the officers in question.
I just wrote a tiny parser game in Inform, and the language is fascinating. You can create complex, fully interactive scenes in just a few sentences. For example, with just "There is a billiards table in the Gazebo. On it is a trophy cup. A starter pistol is in the cup." Inform would create three objects (a billiards table, a trophy cup and a starter pistol) in a previously established room (the Gazebo), and would deduce that the billiards table is a supporter (you can put things on it) and the trophy cup is a container (you can put things in it). With no further code you can examine all three items, remove the pistol from the cup and put it on the table, and so on.
Because it was not a popular vote. And people voting were aware it was not a popular vote.

> The NYT just published a graphic that purports to show the location of the vehicle and the victim:

Emphasis on ”purports”. The NYT graphic doesn’t indicate the vehicle was in the right lane, nor does it indicate a precise location for Elaine. I don’t think you have bad intentions here, but extrapolating a hypothesis from this graphic seems unfounded.

There isn’t enough information to go on to develop reasonable hypotheses from any angle, unfortunately. The investigation needs to complete and footage needs to be released.
There are tens of millions who would vote for trump no matter what, and I literally mean no matter what. No candidate has ever got less than ~40% of the popular vote in recent times. So that fact, that "tens of millions voted for Trump after all", tells us squat.

And besides that, the allegations being made are extremely serious, an utter threat to democracy, and they are to be taken so independently of any other factors.
The data types in Clojure can be very easily (and better) expressed in (say) Haskell. For example: http://tech.frontrowed.com/2017/11/01/rhetoric-of-clojure-an...
What do you mean by redefining? I'm not redefining the type of "name". If you want to get compile-time checking that `Person` implements `Named`, you can use `class Person implements Named`.

Even better than that, you don't need to use classes, you can use "normal" JS data structures. Extending the last example:

const john = {
name: 'John',
age: 25
} // No class involved

f(john) // compiles

const alice = {
age: 25
firstName: 'Alice',
lastName: 'Jones'
}

f(alice) // compile-time error

Clojure.spec is cool, but I don't see how that is incompatible with static typing. You can still have libraries that check more complex properties at runtime.

EDIT:
> Also, Clojure.spec allows you to be much more precise about properties. For example, it must be [...] non-nil [...]

TypeScript also handles nulls in the type system:

function f(x: string | null) {
if (x != null) {
// tsc knows that inside this if, x can't be null
return x.length
} else {
console.log(x.length) // this doesn't compile, x is of type null here
}
}

> stop supporting a divisive two party system.

I wish we could move to a constitutional republic with a dose of direct democracy a bit like Switzerland.

Otherwise even with more parties we would see parties forming coalitions and continuing to sideline a significant minority of the population. See the anti-immigration parties being ignored in Western Europe for a good example.
The other major difference (and reason for the uproar) the data was potentially given as a campaign contribution which would have violated Federal election laws. That's the issue. That wasn't the case with the Obama campaigns app.
I thought the narrative was that Trump was on Russia’s side?
There's so much wrong with this comment. Correct, he received ~63m votes. Hillary received 65.85m votes. He won because our presidential election system is based on an electoral college (which may be debated as a plus or minus). But that also means certain states have a disproportionate amount of representation with respect to their population.

Please don't delude yourself or at least attempt to be honest. Races at the county and state level matter a lot. It matters that outside of a couple of states, the winner take all electoral system can have a significant impact on elections.

Yes, those are the rules that have been established, that both parties are privy to when developing their campaign strategy.

But let's not reduce that to "oh, one person won because people liked them more."

Who the hell are you to talk about Trump voters being conned or voting without critical thinking? You have no idea why people voted for him.
I don't recall ever reading a rejecting peer reviewer for one journal calling out the same work accepted in another ("peer reviewed") journal. Before the web, I guess there wasn't much for a reviewer to do other than complain to their peers. Now the low quality journal is called out in public. And a rejecting peer reviewer calling out the author for ignoring direct contradictory evidence against their work. The threat of breaking peer review anonymity is now a force to be reckoned with.
Then why has Telegram been sharing an office with VK?
Note that you are attributing to me a sentiment that I don't hold. Rather, the argument that a significant number of voters were swayed to vote for Trump through targeted ads on Facebook, if taken to be fact, must imply such a state for the average voter. Not a very kind argument to be making.

Your comment adds nothing but a personal attack on me where one is not warranted.

People can say anything. Anything proven in the court? To me all this sounds like partisan activities against the President. I skimmed both documents, but couldn't find any proven fact. Only allegations. Did I miss something?

Also the DNI report is too generic. They literally have screenshots of Russian news channels. This is bordering on cold war era style propaganda.

PS: thank you for taking the time and effort to have a conversation. I haven't seen anything convincing me that Russia meaningfully interfered in the election. And I'm wary to jump to conclusions since there are a lot of people who seem to be hell bent on undercutting the President using any means.
I find it interesting that Rich (and other Clojure people) feel they need to continue defending themselves again and again. While strongly typed language communities usually don't feel the need. There must be some deep doubt in the Clojure community that triggers this.

It is rather interesting how you use the techniques of the conspiracy theorist to deny that anything is going on - the techniques, specifically, of asking a bunch of questions that depend heavily on motives (and with the tacit implication that the answers all fall the way that works for you), and of replying to objections with more questions that do not directly address those objections.

It is indeed possible that this statement is a falsehood: "Perlroth, however, confirmed that the change occurred after Facebook’s public relations team reached out to the New York Times–some time after the story was published", but I am disinclined to believe it is simply on the basis of questionable questions about motives, when the facts behind those questions could equally be explained by both parties trying to back off, in their own ways, from their initial mistakes.

And the issue of whether it was Sandberg, specifically, who initiated the initial retraction request, is a red herring.
Probably not. But I also failed my first driving test for going to slow (I was within the minimum and maximum speed range, but new drivers going slow I guess is a sign of an unconfident driver).
yeah i didn't mean it literally! I thought starting the phrase with "Think X, Y" just to give a flavour of how one can mess up their internal nervous system functioning. Of course MS is different , but some of the symptoms that may arise from screwing up your kundalini energy: loss of control over nerves, involuntary shakes, toes locked in a curl for the rest of your life etc... just trying to give an overall view. language is so poor at communicating experience esp. when its dealing with inner transformation. Like the other comment says though, yes, watchout for charlatans and investigate the practice for yourself, never take a text at face value. goodluck with this lifetime's journey if you decide to heed the call.
> How can you feel that it's irrelevant whether data was obtained under fraudulent premises, versus with explicit consent?

Very simply: None of the millions of friends were asked for their consent in either case. There was no consent requested or premise given, the data was simply "obtained" in both cases, by the same means.

> but what you said sounds _exactly_ that outlandish to me.

Maybe because it has nothing to do with what I wrote? Allow me to make up a statement that does. "Hey, Bob, can I have access to your account so I can understand you better to advance the Obama campaign? Ok, good. Oh, and Tom's your friend, so I get his information also. ....... Hey, Bob, can I have access to your account so I can understand you better to create a personality profile? Ok, good. Oh, and Tom's your friend, so I get his information also."

Now, you are Tom. You were not contacted in any way whatsoever. You were not presented with a reason for accessing your account in any way whatsoever. Your data was simply pulled, and that is why I equate the two. I am indeed quite sane.
I can't vote in the US election. I don't give a fuck who wins. I still think Facebook is shit.
There's also probably a portion of managers that cause the crunch by being incompetent up front. Not managing scope, escalations, resourcing, decisions etc leads to tight deadlines and 'sudden' urgency to meet earlier expectations that were never managed or adjusted along the way.

For the most part I feel that 99% of problems are easier to fix with types. Especially large scale refactorings.
AFAIK basically all other democracies function this way - using voting districts - never using direct representation to elect representatives [1].

One similar example of this is the recent German election - I believe AFD had like ~10% of the popular vote, but only won 5% of seats in the parliament.
