> making it approachable and stooping to the lowest common denominator.

Why do people assume that being dev-friendly is the "lowest common denominator"?

Devs are not stupid.

Beginners are not stupid.

Moreover, the more senior you are, the more you begin to appreciate clear precise error messages that directly point to the problem.

There's only so much brainpower, and I'd rather spend it on solving a problem, and not on figuring out/memorizing yet another cryptic error message.

And yes, no amount of fluffy talks or "large scale apps built with datomic" will convince me that those devs are in touch with modern programming. They are just used to what they work with.
So do I, I make half of my living writing Javascript code. Only my sites work when you visit them; you don't have to allow script from random 3rd party domains for them to work.

If you're making a content site then it should work without requiring Javascript. Or at least tell the user that they need to enable scripting, not that a random error has occurred.
I was also talking about the job market.

With this mindset of not being the first one to react, we would not have had any changes in civilization (starting with slow changes, ending with revolutions).

Startups disrupted traditional companies, low-cost services (airlines for instance) disrupted traditional services, open source disrupted traditional software.

Academia is a stone which is not disrupted by anything. No wonders that it is being pushed around.
Why do you assume the consumer will always be short changed? Just use mathematical rounding which is fair. It's hard for merchants to price items so that the total ends up rounding upwards if you buy multiple items. People already subcontiously read 99c as $1 and will apply that thought even more if they know rounding will happen so it's not exactly like you are being cheated. For larger purchases even more so, would you consider $99, $99.99 or $100 different prices? No, the difference is irrelevant since the competitor across the street sells the same item for $89.

Even if you were being short changed at every purchase, assume 10c being the smallest coin available, you loose worst case 9c per transaction, assume you make 2 transactions per day. That's total $5.4 lost per month, I can live with that. Especially since it's a worse case scenario, realistically it's +/-0 and even if merchants have a special secret method for winning they can probably only win 5c on average making the loss half of my worst case scenario.
Are you saying that we shouldn't have had the industrial revolution, because burning coal and oil was very polluting?
Can you please comment why installing IPS in a production environment in 2018 is silly? (genuinly want to know)

Also, when or where would you recommend installing an IPS product? As part of a corporate firewall?
Is the page we're commenting on just a really bad description of the project? Because it does not say that OPNSense is simply a ROUTER, and besides "we switched to the fastest PHP framework"† the IPS capabilities are basically the only technical comparison the article makes.

OPNSense describes itself as a firewall. A firewall is generally something you deploy along with a router. Does the term "firewall" just mean something else among the community of people repurposing old Dell towers to build complicated home networks?

And they're virtually guaranteed to grow out of liking those things by next month.
I would more or less never recommend installing an IPS. In the past dozen or so years I've spent lots of time (months at a time) working on the networks of F500s that have fleets of IPS systems, alongside their security teams, and I have never once seen an IPS do anything but generate alerts that get bucketed in a SEM and forgotten about.

You are looking for SearX.
Its a meta search engine and really hackable. Also, its open source.
I left academia (in the humanities) to pursue work in tech. Most of this rings true. My experience is that a.) a lot of exciting work is invisible to academia and b.) to wing it without an institution is certainly a question of money but primarily of time and focus (disciplines and research projects will obviously vary on this front).
This may be true, but this is also what people have been saying for years. All the other auto manufactures do is release cool concept cars at car shows and then go back to producing the same watered down garbage.

Right now there isn’t an EV that even comes close to a Tesla. And even the traditional luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes are losing to Tesla on the tech side which is increasingly the part of luxury that people care about.

Everyone else keeps talking about these imaginary cars that other manufactures are going to make that are going to put Tesla out of business. It’s been FIVE YEARS of that talk… and nothing.
By that logic, lists are just trees with one child per node. Except graphs are just 2d lists if you define them via an adjacency matrix. So we've come full circle.

But we both know they are not very much alike in practice.
Just like how, without Apple, we wouldn't have had rounded corners.
I think my claim is a little different. I've seen quite a few comanites/technologies/people that I basically wrote off initially become fairly impressive over time as they continue improving while I'm not looking.
reading about the recent developments putting FPGA in front of a NIC it seems to me that would be a really neat way to build a firewall

The talk was that this was part of the reason that Merkel was so open in taking in so many refugees back in 2015, and have a 'open door' policy. It was both a 'calculated economic decision', and a humanitarian one.

Unfortunately it backfired as it encouraged too many economic immigrants to come with boats and undertake dangerous trips risking their lives, only to eventually get turned down in their lengthy asylum process.
And she is risking her position/government as her people got fed up on the influx. It also is risking the EU stability itself, with Austria and Italy taking a hard right and turning into immigrant hostile countries, and helping putting eurosceptic parties in power.
The build in vim alternatives for

autocompletion <CTRL-P> while in insert mode and typing word
Being disgusted by the viciousness of the anti-piracy movement mostly gave up US made movies and TV shows. I used to watch many shows and movies every year, now it's just one show and a couple of movies a year - in other words, almost nothing. And that makes me very proud and happy, they deserve it. Don't even go to cinema much.

Instead I watch Youtube: lectures, documentaries, courses and music. Reading Arxiv papers is stimulating and interesting. Streaming anime can replace US shows quite well. Don't need US entertainment after all.

This is already frequently true depending on what you're looking for.
Botnets are created on internet of things and printers, rarely on routers. A small business trying to setup and administer a Unix server as a router is more likely to go wrong than buying a dedicated appliance.
The iPace from Jaguar is a really good start however it still suffers from:

1) Dealerships: they still hate selling EVs. (My personal experience - my GM dealer spent hours trying to convince me to not by my Volt).

2) Charging: Tesla has the only serious world-wide charging network.

3) Software: Telsa (for good or bad) updates their software all the time. People get 'goodies' every few months. My Volt, only a handful of VERY minor software updates in five years. People are coming to expect that.
Are *const T and *mut T also restrict in C terms? (If not, why not?)
This list is far from conservative. Vim isn't an IDE and shouldn't be made into one - effective vim users ^z out of vim and use Unix as their IDE.

Here's my more conservative plugin list:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/dotfiles/tree/.vimrc

fugitive: I use this for the sole purpose of :Gblame because the command line blame tool that ships with git is frustrating to use.

ctrlp is there for opening files quickly in large codebases. It's better than NerdTree and fits more nicely into my workflow.

surround should be built into vim.

editorconfig is useful because I work on a large variety of projects.

The rest of the plugins are syntax highlighting related. ctrlp and surround are the only ones which meaningfully change the experience of using vim.
As far as I know, html head and body are optional per spec.
So I can tell you're pretty upset about being treated this way, and I can sympathize with the frustration. But maybe my point will be better received if I clarify it to make it more concise. In essence:

1. You are responding to these kinds of interviews as though the interviewers are malicious, self-aware of their biases and intentionally trying to personally offend you. But it's not personal and not all interviewers are trying to conspire like this. Consider that what you're feeling and perceiving may not be intended by the interviewers.

2. As a corollary, your relationship and responses to these interviewers are retributional and deconstructive instead of educational and constructive. You're writing off companies because their interviewers offend your sensibilities. But just as interviewers don't have enough information to know why you're reacting the way you are, you don't know if they're trying to be as demeaning as you feel they're being.

In other words, not all companies with suboptimal interviewing methods are shitty companies. Probably most are not! Given that, the way you're reacting isn't just a sensitivity to personal offense, it's getting in your own way professionally.
The 2nd edition of Robotex Cyprus was a blast
Blame the industry? Every home router you can by today is a "firewalL" by their definition, because it does NAT and blocks all inbound traffic by default. I think it's silly to debate whether or not that's a fair description, but they're using the terminology their target market is used to hearing.

Some vendors have moved towards calling their SPI functionality the "firewall" portion, but that debate is about a decade too late.
That seems unlikely, considering that the first "Golden Age" for EVs was in the late 1890s and early 1900s.[1] Musk was the first to use lithium-ion batteries for a highway-legal vehicle, but is that really a unique innovation that wouldn't have occurred to anyone else?

> Suricata on a dedicated firewall box with a PHP interface? What problem is this solving?

The same as every other feature bullet - checking off a box so the product doesn't get "out-checked". Only this time it involves tinkerers, who might set the thing up because it sounds cool, before really asking why. Presumably the package was already in some repo, and it tickled someone's fancy to do the little bit of integration work. But that doesn't mean these types of packages are driving the adoption of pfSense. That said, I don't really need MRTG graphs but if I can get them by clicking a few boxes, I just might.

As other people have said, the main driver is (NAT) routers. Soon in need of a faster router, I'm personally considering trying out the pfSense route rather than straightforward (for me) Debian+iptables. Both for a bit of kernel diversity, and sometimes it's nice to just click away.

> Especially since I'd have to park it behind my ISP's prem box, which is the thing that is actually going to get owned up on my home network.

Your ISP's equipment is not part of your home network - you're better off viewing its ethernet port as the service demarc. In fact, given the straightforward business interest in say enumerating the devices on your home network, I'd characterize it as a persistent attacker. Protocol wise, there's little drawback to just lumping it with the ISP's overtly-hostile DPI gear. About the only trust I'm willing to grant that thing is that it's unable to draw untoward amounts of power say mining crypto coins, and if it's already fed by fibre that it won't create its own electrical surges.
Pretty much the only reason any car manufacturer has ANY EV program is because of the threat of Tesla.

Bob Lutz said w/o Tesla my Volt (or now Bolt) would not exist.
Really glad i switched to DDG for my random searches (i can always do a !g if i feel that the results are meaningless).
Show HN: ReboundRobots a game to keep you sharp
Hey Fellow HNers,

I built reboundrobots.com utilizing angular6, Spring Boot 2, http2, letsencrypt and websockets for multiplayer.

It was a lot of fun building this game. Check it out and let me know what you think.

It’s a great game to keep you sharp.
I don’t think bmw or Audi are losing to Tesla in technology. They both have pretty good autopilot now and each has its own cool tech features, like the 360 camera in bmw or the digital dashboard in Audi.

I am sure bmw or Audi can release a fully electric sedan to compete with Tesla, but most people I know who own bmw or Audi - they don’t like the idea of a fully electric car. They want a sense of security in having a gas engine. I guess the market is just too small for bmw and Audi to even try and go compete with Tesla at the moment. Maybe later...
I think finding your passion is as much as finding what you are not passionate about. Its the reason why I like trying out so many things - I want to find what I truly don't enjoy.

When I was in school, I did 2 years of research. Some of it was photovoltaics research (solar cells) and I also did some shape memory alloys research used in space-grade actuators.

I found myself not enjoying it at all.

On my metallurgical project, I would go to the lab, have to handle the most monotonous task just to test one sample. One sample took 100 hours to prepare and had very little tolerance for error. The equipment I used was kind of outdated as well. I spent several hours everyday grinding a titanium billet the size of a miniature 1/2" knife so I could check its hardness and elasticity before I loaded it into the scanning electron microscope. I lost my samples quite a few times so I had to start over by creating a new billet in the arc furnace. In the end, the data I got had too much noise and basically didn't equate to enough to publish a paper. I still defended my thesis anyhow though. I did learn alot along the way spending hours reading graduate level papers. The research might have helped understand actuation failure for space grade components. But really I felt like I was crawling at a snails pacing with the work I did. I enjoy doing things for myself first and foremost.

I find what I am most passionate about really boils down to things I did as a kid. I used to make my own modded starcraft maps in elementary school. I would download a popular map, throw it in the editor, add new logic, so I could make a game either (1) more interesting or (2) add cheats and exploits for myself. It was fun. I also built my own computer as a kid too - debugging hardware was always painful, but the moment it clicked it felt so satisfying.

Other ways I find things I am and am not passionate about. I subscribe to about 800 things on youtube that I find fascinating. Most of it is related to a combination of math, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering. Personally I have a serious deficit knowledge on all 4 of them, but I am always learning new things everyday. I still suck at math though and I can't seem to understand how to do mathmatical induction and/or proofs though.

I spent a lot of my freetime programming because this is the easiest subject to pick up of the ones mentioned above. Its also profitable. I think its okay to be passionate about more than one thing so long as it falls under the same umbrella of things you want to do - building cool stuff. And that its okay to not spend as much time workong on them due to time constraints. I also am pretty good at welding (200+ hours) and 3D modeling as well, among other things.

Ultimately my dream is to become a 10x engineer. Someone who is so good at building anything with their mind and hands that I could create new works of art. I take inspiration from a variety of leaders in those industries - from all age groups.
I wasn't kidding, and yes I mistakenly said pie chart instead of venn diagram. Unfortunately, they are incredibly misrepresenting the percentages.
spec is wholly independent of the pre/post conditions.
We did this for similar reasons; the documentary and edutainment selection ran dry, and the children's section had a terrible signal/noise.

Now we've been without any TV or streaming services for about six months, and relying on a Kodi box and my collection of ripped DVDs.

We spend more time together as a family.
Firewall and routing have been done with FPGA for many many years. Have a look at enterprise and carrier grade hardware.
That is why if I need to download anything, I search with duckduckgo now.
> You didn't really answer the question posed to you by OP

I very specifically answered that first. Intentional promotion of prostitution has always been criminal. FOSTA didn't change that, which the EFF repeatedly said themselves when they were arguing against it.
We have customers with the same requirements and they started using my system at https://helpmonks.com

They are conversing internally with it. You can also use Slack to get notified. If a conversation is worth it they then either use the Trello plugin to create a card there or link to a new conversation in Discourse.

Hope this helps.
I've never liked nerdtree, everybody seems to suggest it but I never saw any utility in what it does. Why would I want a filebrowser taking up an entire window in vim when I have wildmenu command line completion for :e and, for deeper directory trees, fzf (although I only started using that recently, nerdtree never made sense to be before then either)?

I do wonder what your gripe with the autocomplete dropdown is though, vim's built in TUI completion dropdown (this isn't something plugins invented, it's in Vim by default) seems to work just fine for me. The only completion plugin I use is supertab, which I understand to be dated and out of vogue these days, but it gives me continuity with command line completion being triggered by my tab key. The dropdown works exactly like I'd expect it to; tab and shift-tab to cycle up and down, and enter to select a completion. If I continue typing with it open, it refines the suggestions on the fly. I'm not sure what else I should ask for.
Thomas Piketty Analysis, and the US Economy
I genuinely have no idea what you think a post-scarcity society is.

Where society has enough for all and attempt to allocate it in a way that all gets what they need.

Japan is about as close to that as exists. Yes, people fall though the cracks, but the same will happen in post-scarcity society. People will refuse to live by society's rules so they won't get their universal income, or they will have mental illness and unable to arrange their life to avoid suffering.

That isn't dissimilar to Japan. No one is staving to death, people get basic healthcare (mostly), but there are still people who society fails - and it isn't a lack of resources that causes that in Japan.
The problem is that you can't have a liesure class of healthcare consuming old people without an underclass of young working age people toiling for high taxes. Eventually you have an even worse social issue. Further, people probably don't realize they are voting to close the border to their sole source of future dependency. A vicious cycle. The other problem is there is a huge gap in the quality of immigrants, some stay dependent where others drive the economy like no native can. Complicated issue all around.
yea VOX ranks high for everything even though they are generalists than specialists. .
IMO Musk last bullet is to crank hard through this bottleneck enough to get enough air to have another shot at redesigning car production.

Tesla cut jobs recently, removed some options (internet), opened the model 3 payment period. With the truck thing and other side money intakes I think he's just trying to cross the survival line investor agreed upon.
this assumes that civilizations will be able to use energy from sources other then their own star (or galaxy) or that it will be possible to get a significant number of their individuals to other stars. unlikely. just hang on until your own star dies then its over.
They don't reinvent as much as keep the hype machine running well, and they are doing excellent job at that.

This world runs on hype. Tesla's and Apples are good at it.

After that, whatever they do is 'reinvention'.
They probably do this the way Google usually does, some sort of probability of similarity. They don't know for sure if a picture is pornographic, or a piece of audio is fair use. Once they reach acceptable accuracy, in their calculus....
The 'innovation' is that car companies did not (and still do not) want to make EV cars. There's so much inertia behind ICE vehicles the incentive to make EVs is small.

1) Oil companies don't want them.
2) Dealerships don't want them.
3) Automakers don't want them.

Tesla's energy has forced the issue.
PFSense does provide a free GUI interface to OpenPVN. That's useful in many small business applications. Also, don't discount that you can't buy one at BestBuy, that lends (for non-technical peeps) a veneer of credibility.
The welfare state (including Social Security in the US) was always an unsustainable Ponzi scheme. The best answer our ruling elites could come up with was to literally destroy the country by importing an unlimited flood of millions of poor third worlders.

It's insane. That's the equivalent of a startup slashing prices to below cost to pump up new signups and revenue, with the guarantee of a cash crunch and bankruptcy later on.
I totally agree that the plugins aren't great.

I never was able to leave VIM though. The reason is that it works so well over SSH and I don't like the context switching from VIM to IDE.

Also IDE's always end up crashing or lagging at some point. When you're in the coding mindset this can really upset me greatly.

What IDE do you use?
Right, I am an evil user myself. My question was about the vim equivalent of major modes in Emacs --- Does vim have a concept of major mode (a set of language specific functionality, one major mode per buffer)?
One notable predicate of UBI is more aggressive population control. Either positively or negatively.

If we're allocating a portion of production to all people, but have finite energy resources (e.g. current state), then there exists a range of population (and demographics therein) where this is practical.
