I second this. From experience, walking out of my house and driving off immedately with a fully-charged car is less trouble than going to a gas station.

Still, we're a two-car family and our second car is ICE (a Subaru). Gasoline is way more convenient than electric for out-of-town weekend trips. I take these trips frequently enough (more than once per month) that I don't want to rely on renting a car every time.

Buddhism originated from a man sitting very still under a tree for a while.

The core issue I think this article ignores, is a Western buddhist's need to identify their spiritual life with a specific geographic region across the globe. The goal of Buddhism is not to create an alliance to eventually rule the world and compete with evil Western forces, but to develop a way of life through personal enlightenment that allows a better world to emerge.

These constructs in between us and enlightement only have life because of the energy we give to them. When the Dalai Lama talks about ways of finding personal peace, that's because it's the key point that you need before you can even know if your calling is to put your energy toward saving the Tibetan Buddhists.

Y'know, it's probably not a popular opinion... but if the web were 100% recreated today, I'd want it to be AutoLayout (from Apple/co) + CSS.

AutoLayout is not without issues, but a lot of them have been fixed over the past few years, and overall I think the mental model makes sense once it clicks.

CSS is the one thing the web got right, in my opinion.
What is your workflow like that a few second delay is a major blocker?

"Mysteriously, the U.S. Air Force ordered the flying-wing bombers on the assembly line scrapped."

Nothing mysterious about it. The original YB-49 was a bear to control in flight and prone to crashing. It appears to be the nature of flying wings. The modern B-2 solves that by fly-by-wire, with computers between the pilot and control surfaces, keeping the plane stable.
Is it really an issue? I think I start my editor only when I do the update and I have to reset my mac.

All the reporting I've seen on it said it had a microkernel. I've included both the first thing from Google and my UNIX Alternatives List that has an in-depth link on BeOS.

It also had the kind of compile-time slowdowns one expects with a lot of context switches on older CPU's. So, what's your source that there's not a microkernel at the center?

These are helpful tips for VS Code. If you don't (want to) use it, then this has nothing to do with you.

Will it ever get encoding autodetect? That's one of the big reasons I've stayed on Notepad++. VS Code clearly does detect the encoding, because when you go to change it it suggests the right one, but it doesn't load correctly.
Not eclipse, much to my annoyance.
This exists in most editors I've used (intellij is alt + shift + click or double tap alt, if I recall). I don't know how people program without this feature - they should teach this shit in school.

Multicursor is amazing.

One thing it's been great for:

I have code like:

byte b1 = array[0];

And I want to do this for 16 bytes. Control + D to duplicate 15x. Double tap control, hit up 15 times - now there's a cursor at every row. Hold control, hit right (jump by word), index to end of 'b1' on each line. Ctrl + shift + a, 'increment duplicates' - now every line is 1, 2, 3, 4... 16. `ctrl + right` my way to the index key and do the same thing.

It's awesome.

edit: I just found 'duplicate and increment' :o
You seem to know way more about the fields so I defer, but I think there is a market for just cutting wood, plastic or soft metals like aluminum. A low cost machine obviously will have a bunch of limitations.

I am on a fairly RAM constrained workstation (4GB) so I have no choice but to close it when I'm not using it. Otherwise I'll spend just as long swapping as I would opening a new instance.
I've seen some people make the argument that they want to use their editor for quick edits to single files, which is a fine use-case. However, VS Code is really not designed to be optimized for that case. It's really about editing code (hence the name) as opposed to quick edits to configs, etc.

It's usually best if one knows a few different tools designed for different scenarios. Right tool for the job.

If you look at what they currently support in terms of plugin availability and stability these are nowhere near being viable alternatives at the moment.

The jury should get as much time to read the contract as the average user spends reading the contract and should not get the help of a lawyer. If the company doesn't collect data about how much time users spend reading the contract, then it should be presumed that they didn't read it at all and then only terms that the jury can guess would be in the contract without reading it should be valid.

Sure, and I have a mouse both in my office, and at home, but don't tend to carry it when I'm travelling because space really is at a premium in my bag. The MBP is the only laptop I've ever used that has a trackpad that is tolerable as a replacement for a mouse. Still not as good as a mouse, but better (often way better) than the rest.

My issue with the Surface Pro specifically is that it's competing in the, well, I won't say high end (because that implies something about hardware specs that may not be true), but certainly the expensive [1] laptop market, yet is plagued with annoyances, some of which are quite severe: bad touchpad, sketchy WiFi, indifferent (at best) battery life, and rapid battery drainage during sleep, to name but a few.

[1] I won't say premium either because, given the issues, it's premium only in the sense that you pay one.

That’s just not true, it’s an artifact of the Bohr model of the atom which doesn’t take the wave-particle duality of the electron into account. The wavefunction of the electron is “smeared” around the atom, which is not empty.

Ask HN: How do you decide to go ahead with your side project?
I was thinking about working on new project. In a nutshell, it would be something like "uber for translators". I have done some research, feedback was mostly positive. (more about the project in my post from /r/beermoney https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/comments/8dq1eg/would_you_join_uber_for_translators_to_make_extra/) Unfortunately, there seems to be already existing projects which do the similar stuff. I still think there could be a potential with the right execution and focus. I was also thinking I could at least bring this project idea into Czech Republic (my home country) and make it with local focus only (global project would be preferable for me tho). I would like to get some ideas/advices on this... how should I decide If I should go ahead with the project and spend more time on that? Any other ideas how to validate the idea beforehand? What are your expirience? Any feedback welcomed. Thanks in advance. George

The truth or falsehood of the content is independent of Binswanger's income source and can be verified apart from that fact. This is the meaning of Ad Hominem fallacy, to get people to dismiss an argument not because it is false but because of some supposed flaw or fact about the person making the argument. Moreover, this is the exact method by which the Communists dismissed the objections to communism, accusing anyone who defended property rights as "bourgeois" and biased because they owned property. They established multiple brutal dictatorships last century that led to the death of millions and are still active today.

I truly hope you follow through with your intent, ignore the smears and misrepresentations, and read Rand firsthand and judge for yourself. As the first book I recommend Philosophy Who Needs It followed by The Virtue of Selfishness and leave the politics for later. Rand argued that politics follows from ethics and that is where the debate needs to shift if you want to understand the dire state of the world.

Rich Hickey has responded to this many times. They made Clojure free and open source and have put lots of their own $$ into Clojure. If they want to make a product that costs money, that is their choice. They also need to keep the lights on. Now if they won't let users who pay for the product see source-code under an NDA, that is a indeed a problem in my mind, but is pretty much just standard business practice. I have no clue if they're open in that area or not.
Time on site tracker for web analytics released. The Unprecedented?
I believe Sublime introduced the feature. I looked it up and it was already present in the first release on January 18, 2008.
Generally speaking emulating special purpose hardware in software slows things down a lot so I don't think that relying on a software branch predictor is going to result in performance anywhere close to what you'd see in, say, an ARM A53. And since you have to trade off clock cycles used in your branch predictor with clock cycles in your main thread I think it would be a net loss. Remember that even though NVidia calls each execution port a "Core" it can only execute one instruction across all of them at a time. The advantage over regular SIMD is that each shader processor tracks its own PC and only executes the broadcast instruction if it's appropriate - allowing diverging control flows across functions in ways that normal SIMD+mask would have a very hard time with except in the lowest level of a compute kernel.

That also means that you can really only emulate as many cores as the NVidia card has streaming multiprocessors, not as many as it has shared processors or "cores".

Also, it's true that GPUs have huge memory bandwidth they achieve that by trading off against memory latency. You can actually think of GPUs as throughput optimized compute devices and CPUs as latency optimized compute devices and not be very mislead.

So I expect that the single threaded performance of a NVidia general purpose computer to be very low in cases where the memory and branch patterns aren't obvious enough to be predictable to the compiler. Not unusably slow but something like the original Raspberry Pi.

Each emulated core would certainly have very good SIMD support but at the same time pretending that they're just SIMD would sacrifice the extra flexibility that NVidia's SIMT model gives you.
I'd wonder more if a newer more modern head could also be used on the same tape at the same time (a few inches over on a slightly extended tape path), with the output of the "original" used to train software to interpret the higher resolution data coming from the new head.

Seems to me that might in some ways be similar to some things required for software defined radio signal processing.

> Buddhism is so audaciously and unapologetically male-dominated

From what I understand, the Buddha taught anyone who was interested without the slightest regard for gender, age, wealth, caste, or anything else -- 2500 years ago, in India.

The monastic orders have very reasonable rules about how new monks or nuns get legitimacy by being approved by former monks or nuns, and that worked for, I think, over a thousand years. The problem is, for some reason, the female lineage suffered a break, and there was no contingency plan for restoration. But this is now occurring, at least in Theravada. Please don't paint it as if Buddhism is sexist. It is actually amazingly and remarkably non-sexist, back in a time when this was unheard of.
This is an interesting article because it exposes how little most Westerners know about non-Western thought and history. Most westerners can probably name dozens of western countries that rose and fell, but are unlikely to be able to name more than one or two of the Chinese dynasties.

To provide a parallel to western culture, the view most westerners have of Buddhism is like if Christianity was portrayed purely as a well sanitized Joel Osteen prosperity gospel book, ignoring the entire history of violence in the old testament, the east/west catholic/orthodox split, upturn of the protestant reformation, and all the other "historical nasty bits".

And with Buddhism being offered based on that pop-culture sanitized version, no wonder people are surprised when they dig deeper (as would be the case with any long-standing religion).

> There is a strong claim here that has never been tested: can psychedelics make you a better person?

Never been tested !?
Is this person on drugs or something !?
Ahahahaha!

But seriously, homo sapiens quite obviously happened from a collision of apes with psychedelics (most probably psilocybin mushrooms)... So without psychedelics there would never have been any people! Terrence McKenna very thoroughly explained this theory many times. Its easy to find on faceboogle. All his other theories are nowhere as solid as this one, imo.

On another note, drugs are foods, and different foods are good for some people, in some situation, some of the time, at some dose. Finding those perfect variables is the real trick. Opium, for me (and almost anyone I believe), at a certain dosage, has tremendously improved my life, on all levels - but if I increase the dosage even slightly or don't take enough breaks, it begins to have negative repercussions. People who do endurance sports are all craving endorphines. Marathon runners could preserve their health by dosing opium properly. LSD is definitely a must-do for everyone, but in the right settings. Nobody is driven insane by LSD - they had to already be insane, and it would bring it out more (which is really the quickest path to a cure). Iv met someone who cured acute autism with psilocybin. MDMA is renowned for treating victims of PTSD. I mentioned opium - opium isnt (really) a psychedelic but its certainly the most bewitched beneficial substance I know of - very good for older people or alcoholics. It takes away all cravings for alcohol, tobacco and coffee (3 most detrimental drugs on earth, with refined sugar). But be careful not to increase your tolerance. I agree with Eliot in MrRobot - you can take 30mg of morphine-equivalent per day forever and youll be able to run out without waking up in the ninth circle of hell. Given the choice I'd much rather incarnate a hardcore morphine user than a roaring alcoholic; at least I'll still be able to have a successful career, a thriving social circle and a very long life.
At the same time though, it is purposely not positioned to replace a full-blown IDE. So what is the use case that it's optimized for? Why does it offer to add an "open with code" context menu item to every file if it's not expected that you'll be using it for quick edits on individual files?
sure, but would we even be here talking about VS Code if it had been written in those languages? Would the extension community have grown as quickly? Would Microsoft have continued investment in the product if it hadn't?

I'm not saying that it wouldn't have been as successful, but we're here, now, and it is. It's a great product regardless of the fact that it's written with HTML/CSS/JS.

Sometimes I have 2 alternatives for a piece of code, one commented out and the other not, and I'd like to toggle between the two. With multicursor I just select both and hit `ctrl-/` to toggle them on and off.

Any specific reason behind it?
