> Will CodeMirror6 implement vim mode in a similar fashion?

This hasn't been decided yet—I'm aware how much people appreciate the vim bindings, but they are _huge_ (as big as the current core) and written by someone else. I'll probably take a stab at porting them when the new API is stable, and give up when it turns out to be too messy. On the bright side, they have a lot of tests, which helps with making sure I don't break them. But they _are_ still looking for a new maintainer, and even if I do port them, I'm not taking over maintenance.
Propanalol, which is dramatically less illegal, is meant to help with this too, and there are studies showing it too; my understanding (from using it for anxiety) is it basically blocks you from being able to feel stress. This allows you to more easily process painful memories.
Yes I agree but didn't this just happen? It's not like they actually deleted anything, maybe it's an initial twitter purge for impact, and they'll restore the old ones after some breif period?

> Generation Z – people born after 1995 – half of those surveyed stated they had quit or were considering quitting at least one social media platform

That seems incorrectly taken statement. They represent it as though people are leaving social media. That is a false logic. E.g. Peeps may have swapped instagram to snapchat...

It would be interesting to know what % dont use social media by age group.. Something here: http://www.pewinternet.org/2018/03/01/social-media-use-in-20...

If the page that links to the login page hasn't proven it's secure, I shouldn't trust the links, and therefore shouldn't trust the destination. Hence why static landing pages need HTTPS just as much as login pages.
you should have written this in your opening post. In your op I thought that you were suggesting for some sort of whipping boy. Your clarification makes more sense. some things that should be pointed out is that your collateral can refuse, and that skipping bail is still a crime, so if you ditch, you will be hunted and be revoked bail rights for the rest of your life.
This paper did not check. This was a purely human study. I'm talking about known results in the field.
It should not be hard to do this as a plugin, but the core maintainers are unlikely to work on it.

> What I see happening is languages like java becoming more dynamic (var etc) and languages like ruby/python getting better IDEs (auto completion will continue to improve).

I agree that that's what's going to happen in the short term, but var doesn't mean becoming dynamic; type inference doesn't compromise soundness at all. I think it's going to be much easier for sound type systems to get good-enough inference (indeed Hindley–Milner already offers "perfect" inference: you don't need to write any explicit types if you don't want to) than for dynamic languages to retrofit soundness. And while one can live with a few unsound constructs as long as it's locally clear when unsoundness is happening, as soon as you have pervasive soundness issues with action-at-a-distance your type system becomes almost useless.
This is a sad reminder of what I sounded like when I was having a break down. Poor guy can’t see he’s having an episode. I’ve been there. No one ever would have convinced me otherwise.

Whoa. This is very impressive!

It does seem to hilight an increasing unease I have with riscv. Implementations are many and cheap, but reusable verification is rare and people don't use what is out there. They have maybe the riscv-tests set working. But that's not enough to call your new CPU usable for anything other than a hobby project.

Fwiw, the riscv-formal package from Clifford wolf is the closest thing to a turn key solution to verifying a riscv core, even if people must remember it doesn't cover everything.

Maybe that's not so bad: in the past you were either famous or not. Now I think we get these common interest communities that all read the same blogs / follow the same people on twitter and great art proliferates in those niches. Maybe it doesn't enter the total public consciousness; maybe it doesn't have to.

Yes but it’s also pretty common to get into this regularly and soon after what you get one evening you have to give back some weeks later unless you then take all sorts of other drugs to compensate for that. I’ve seen the therapeutic effects up close and they are powerful but they are sadly short lived and hard to manage.

To be fair, SF seems to have four-way stop signs at basically every intersection. I don't think we have four-way stop signs anywhere in Europe. Coming to a full stop and accelerating again every hundred meters slows you down a lot more on a bike. It's a pretty stupid road design for cars too, it kills your fuel economy.
Air conditioning uses large amounts of energy. This use has costs. Using it less reduces these costs.
For a company that aims to do ethical businesses, they have an uphill better. But it helps that they have such a great search engine. I've been using ddc for a few years exclusively and I think I get better results. Some of my old google-fu works, unlike new google, which seems to ignore it now.
Surely Netflix starts with the larger catalogue of all possible content when deciding what content to licence and also what content to make.
The ignoring of keywords is annoying. Removing keyword in order to be able to get me a result is almost always the wrong thing to do. I end up clicking through a the first 3 to 4 links and wondering why on earth Google would think those sites was going to be helpful. The indication that a keyword was ignored to give me a result isn't clear enough.

Almost always, at least in my cases, removing keywords makes the resultat useless. I would rather have a blank page say "Sorry, no results".

While DuckDuckGo searches have clearly improved over time, Googles have become worse. I still think Google is better overall, but they're moving in the wrong direction.
Yes, I saw similar ideas ~ a year ago, & figured it was possible. It was just a matter of using sqlite's (excellent) sqldiff utility and wrapping a custom git diff driver. Took about an evening to get the proof-of-concept working and a little more fiddling for ease of use.

I don't have stress test results, but it should be similar to git. I think I remember getting it up to several hundred megabytes at one point and it was fine. I mostly use it for smaller sets of highly relational data that I want to track like I would source code.

By leveraging git & sqlite it lets me avoid writing a network sync implementation, architecture specific code, or patching any C code to recompile.
I would expect ~2,000 tapes in the back of a pickup, at 6TB each. Note that:

- Tapes are easier to stack and load in boxes
- Tapes are are more resistant to shock and damage from vibrations
- Tapes are generally more resistant to damage from the environment
- Tapes weigh less than hard drives (this is true whether measured per tape or per byte)

My wife is about to start her PhD with a focus on television narratives. She's an English major but as she sees it, the "novel" of the 21st century is much more likely to be a TV series. In fact, the TV series form itself mimics the serialized fiction that was popular in the Victorian Age, probably the time when literature became "Literature" with a capital L.

I'd say that literature isn't dead; it's just changing its narrative medium.

Well, they give about the most definite criteria they can given current techniques, which is the transcriptomic profile. In fig 2e [0] they also give a bouton density profile. If you still have the pictures and have neurogliaform and basket cells stained with the same technique, you should be able to determine whether you are in the ballpark.

Ecstasy != mdma. It’s pretty easy to spot clean mdma visually or tasting or you can just recrystalize it yourself. It’s imoossible to figure out what is in ecstasy.. and is always a combo of above drugs and more. Clean mdma is more common these days than ecstasy in most of Europe atleast.
I think either Google will awe us again and become stronger or duckduckgo will figure out a way to finally give us better search results.
Turnera Diffusa aka Damiana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnera_diffusa
Has been traditionally used as a calming anti-anxiety aid for centuries in many cultures. More recently western medical science has been looking to the plant and it's close relatives for a benzodiazepine substitute. Here is one study https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037887411... I read a similar study conducted by German health institution, but can't seem to !g the link right now.

I've used Damiana for many years. I smoke it like pot, make tea out of the leaves, make ethanol extracts (tincture in gin or vodka) and have even vaporized the herb. It is a very very effective anti-anxiety aid. And it is equally effective at arousal of sexual desires, and increase in sexual pleasure. Damiana is very safe too. I think it impossible to overdose on the herb.

Give it a try! I get mine from Mountain Rose Herbs https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/damiana-leaf/prof... by mail order. Superb quality! It goes very well in tea with another historic Adaptogenic herb, Ocimum tenuiflorum or Holy Basil, aka Tulsi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocimum_tenuiflorum Again, available from Mountain Rose Herbs: https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/holy-basil-rama-1...

In Idaho it is perfectly legal for bicycles to treat Stop signs as yields, and Red lights as stop signs.

It was attempted to get a similar law passed in CA: AB 1103.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-aler...

Many cyclists would agree that a rolling stop allows them to get through, when there is no traffic, the intersection much faster and more safely due to the dangers of an intersection. I'm not arguing for blowing through at top-speed, and they must stop when pedestrians are in a cross-walk.

Just because it's the law, doesn't mean it's correct.
You can still have crises that aren't banking-related. When the New World was conquered, the mountains of silver and gold flowing back to Spain in particular caused inflation, no bankers involved.

The patch is about ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with non-null DEFAULT. Your step 1 does not have a default value so this patch will not affect the database behavior.

I'm not going to kid myself into thinking that I don't spend time on social media (hello, Hacker News), but as someone who fits the age range described in the article and doesn't have much of a public account on the platforms listed, the only largest issue I've had is the increasing tendency towards disseminating information only through these channels. Usually I grab someone who does have an account and get them to relay the information, but I'm probably missing things that I don't realize.
Yeah, I will use the sqldiff code internally to implement diff between 2 branches. Excellent work from Richard Hipp and its team indeed.

And thank you for your work! I may use it someday.

As a kid, we had one of those home/small business targeted drives that attached to the PC via the floppy drive controller. QIC, or whatever it was called. Native capacity was ~120 MB, and the drive had some built-in compression so it was marketed as 250 MB. It made a horrible screeching noise when running.

Linux even had a driver for it at some point (ftape), but IIRC it has since been removed due to lack of use. Never used it though, by the time I got more into Linux that drive was already obsolete.

But yeah, today the startup cost of a tape drive is so high that it doesn't make sense for home usage. At home I use borg backup (https://www.borgbackup.org/ ) nowadays, backing up to external USB hard drives.
I’ve seen it first hand but short lived sadly.

> and these days it's often laced with other substituted amphetamines such as mephedrone or PMA

"Often"? Often where? I'd say no since we'd hear about accidents with ecstasy "often" as well. This happens rarely, still.

EDIT: Found some data [1]:

"Although more recent ED data are not publicly available, the number of reported poisonings involving “hallucinogenic amphetamines” (which are most commonly MDMA and MDMA-like drugs) rose from 2057 (including 3 deaths) in 2009 to 2514 (including 14 deaths) in 2013"

"Ecstasy purity was low in the US in the mid-1990s3 and purity plummeted in Europe around 2009,11 but increased in 2010,8,11 while purity of powder and crystal ecstasy reportedly remained high in Europe (at 75–97%) in 2008–2013.11 However, the presence of synthetic cathinones (“bath salts”) and other novel psychoactive substances (NPS) increased within both pills and powders from 2008–2013.11 Spain in particular had a high prevalence of synthetic cathinones such as mephedrone and methylone detected in powder ecstasy.9 Despite extensive research in Europe, purity of ecstasy in the US over the last decade has not been formally researched."

Does FB still allow instagram cross-posts?

If yes, why is nobody sueing?
I'm sure that the results hold up reasonably well if they're taken randomly (whether the survey actually is random is another story, though).
The article says that there's a web interface (on the open internet) where you can register and login. This interface allows you to download a build of the malware (with your customer ID embedded in the binary, presumably). The malware sends the stolen data to the server, with the customer ID, and it shows up on that customer's dashboard for them to download. The article doesn't say how payment works, but it's a safe bet to say that they take cryptocurrency. It all seems quite seamless, which makes me wonder how many customers they have, and how popular it is to set up shop stealing information with other people's software.
Higher-kinded types? Monads, etc.
I'm pretty sure they are communicating somehow, through creating their own ad-hoc social media - possibly also without them knowing it themselves, or thinking that this is social media.

I am guessing that they are creating their own communities, which we haven't been discovered yet! A golden opportunity for the entrepreneur to monetize once the pattern becomes obvious!

Social media today has many issues, maybe kids opposing it is the big autocorrect which is needed to improve it and get them back on board.

There's a little toggle switch below the search box on DDG that will let you flip localized searches on/off. I use it when I need local results. It's a step extra of cause, but it is nice being able to quickly tell the search engine whether or not you want local result.
Even if you keep tabs on it, would you inspect every single update that comes out or would you rather inspect the ones labelled "security updates"?

Low-profile means what it says on the tin; make it sound so boring that hackers are less likely to attempt it.

Plus being low profile reduces exposure to people who only look for high profile stuff.

And plus "not improbable" =!= "fact".
Ironically, I came across this article first on facebook, of course.

I agree. Keep power production on Earth to like 50% solar (wind, sunlight, tidal, etc) and there will be no problem with this heat issue. Bezos has specifically stated that he hopes to put industrial production off earth to avoid the industrial heat production problem in the far future.
OP obviously, not everything is directly about politics, but evrrything can and does become a political battleground.

Think about how Master/Slave vs Primay/Secondary is an issue. It's technical, but at the same time choice of nomenclature reflects about those who chose them.

> How expensive is cat litter where he lives?

It's the US, so about $10 for 35lbs of "Litter Purrfect" from Costco. Around 20lbs/month/cat was his pre-robot, usage, IIRC, and he had multiple cats.

> For me, it is indeed a non-zero expense, but also mostly unnoticeable one.

Every non-zero expense is noticeable to someone living frugally, since they can easily add up if left unnoticed.

> Definitely not worth replacing with a robot that'll most likely take more than a year to pay itself back

To be clear, he wasn't basing the purchase decision itself on the cost savings in litter, merely accelerating the timing of the purchases. He had already decided to "splurge" on replacing all the manual litterboxes with robots.

> I don't expect this kind of tech to run continuously for a year without major, expensive breakage

Most of the tech's actually remarkably simple (for the LR-II model, anyway), which means, in a way, it's overpriced, but the market bears it. The standard warranty is 18 months, and the extended warranty (another $50 or $100?) doubles that.

Personally, I've had them last over 5 years, with the main failures being the electronics (cheap and easy to replace, unlike many other products), power supply wall wart (which I merely replace myself with a better one), and a metal spring for the "waste door" (not as easy, but the parts were free, and it's a very old-age failure).
They're just quick redirects to specific sites' searches, which work wherever DuckDuckGo would otherwise return search results. They make it really quick to search specific sites, or even to go directly to specific pages on some sites (without remembering the URL's exact syntax).

Try searching for “!w search engine”: DDG sends you straight to Wikipedia, which sends you directly to the relevant article. (Search “!bang” for more info about bangs.) When DuckDuckGo is your default search engine you can do this straight from your browser's address bar or OS's search field. It's very nice.

(I have no affiliation with DuckDuckGo; I just really like this feature.)
Its annoying the NYT used the term ecstasy (XTC) as that doesn't describe the drug. The drug which would be considered as a remedy for PTSD, is MDMA and its closely related counterparts (MDA, MDEA/MDE). These drugs are called empathogens or entactogens [1].

This is a wonderful essay. Kudos to the author. There are several excellent points all working together supporting the thesis.

Do authors explicitly write subtext? As the author says, I don't think so. I think authors use writing and editing as a way to organize their thoughts over time such that all the subtext comes out naturally. For most, I think, this is a subconscious thing. That's why you can't teach it.

Milton (the real one, anyway) was part of a lineage, a conversation, in which books—indeed, print itself— made a difference in the world

This may be the most important point of all. As a society with lots of different interests, literature has allowed the "subconscious of man" to have a multi-generational conversation about what's important. You write a book, you pick up that conversation. The public at large reads the book, they begin participating in it.

I'm not saying people sit around and study books to determine deep understanding of universe, but that's what happens. It's just not evident. You spend many years dedicating large portions of your time to climb inside the minds of great people throughout history, eventually you get a gut feel for what it means to be human -- no matter what your circumstances. You begin to see the same dramas and questions arise. You see the mosaic of life itself.

Of course, you see all of that other ways too. You can probably go to YouTube right now and watch a video on any kind of deep topic you'd like. But the key point was this shared subconscious journey, created by dedicated time in a book where your concentration and imagination were required to follow along with the story. Doing that, you live inside the heads of great thinkers in ways the click-and-move on crowd never will.

That's not for everybody to do. Some folks gravitate towards that kind of thing. Some don't. But it has to be for somebody. And it has to be for enough somebodys that the conversation continues.

I'm not sure that's the case anymore.
