> vim forces you to do a lot of stuff that the machine could do for you.

I don't think that makes any sense at all. If anything Vim does a lot for me because it's programmable. When doing heavy editing, the whole point is the automation does the heavy lifting.

Switching modes doesn't have any cognitive load effects that I can notice. The cursor changes the shape for example, so you instantly know what to do. It's pretty much second nature.

What you're describing is a novice or clumsy Vim user. I don't know what "compatibility problems" should have a text editor, but I haven't had any in many years.

> So, yes. Vim may be fun. [...] But I don't buy the productivity boost.

Kind of condescending, really. Thinking that Vim is a toy and all users are using it for the heck of it, when they could be more productive otherwise.
Yeah I'd say the majority of people here know what a unicorn is.
I just emailed someone in holography a question, maybe you wouldn’t mind answering...

Say I have a transparent hologram plate and shine a laser into the “front of the plate” to get a virtual hologram (the hologram appears “inside” the plate). Now let’s say we break the plate in half (or otherwise have a clone) and we place the duplicate in the same plane (like dominos) only the 2nd plate is facing front out (so laser, plate 1 front facing laser to get “virtual” hologram, an inch of space then plate 2 with back of plate facing plate 1/laser) what happens? Does plate one give the “virtual” hologram and plate two give a “real” hologram (project)? So in other words, is this right:

Laser —— | (virtual hologram) | (real hologram) ?

Oh wow, I didn't know that was a thing but that describes me perfectly. I can sort of picture faces to some extent, but trying to visualize a house or a scene is almost impossible to me. I find it frustrating when trying to think of a "memory palace" because I can't even think about what the front door of the palace would look like, let along intricate places for things within it.
You are being snarky, but hopefully you have installed your Bootstrap Service Packs or at least have checked that you are not affected by some of the XSS issues in versions <3.4 https://snyk.io/test/npm/bootstrap/3.3.7?severity=high&sever...

Depends entirely on the application.

If your application has many basic views, you'll be wasting time writing out CSS grid properties for a basic responsive layout.

I mean, at some point you'll recognize you're reinventing the wheel and just pull in a CSS grid from a framework.

This applies to basically any components that has been battle tested in Bootstrap.
Yeah, the people part of the system a hard problem, no argument.
If the company goes away entirely, the contractors and suppliers are even more hosed. Example would be the US auto industry. Whether through bailouts or traditional bankruptcy proceedings, it was considered vital that the businesses themselves remain operational to keep their supply chains intact.
I think you're confused about the meanings of the terms horizontal and vertical reading. The linked piece does not use the term "vertical reading" to mean reading on a vertically scrolling screen vs. reading printed pages in a book. Rather, the author uses "vertical reading" to mean deep reading as compared to shallow/broad reading:

> Birkerts coins his own terms: the deep, devotional practice of “vertical” reading has been supplanted by “horizontal” reading, skimming along the surface.
> Yeah, it's amazing that this is not called out more often. Android is a security mess.

Nope, Android security is quite good actually. Not as good as iOS, however very good nonetheless.

Of course, fragmentation issues and the fact that most Android devices are not updated do not help.

However there is active mitigation of security issues both in kernel and in Android user space.
> - With reduced pre-sale tickets available, there will be increased pressure on main-sale tickets.

pre-sale tickets were always a much smaller percentage than main sale though, and were always priced significantly higher. So, they were bringing in a more affluent populace than the average burner.

> - With increased pressure on main-sale tickets, the percentage on first time attendees will skew downward even more, I believe around 30-30% of attendees on avg within the last couple years are first timers.

The pressure has been sky-high for years now. That's why main sale always sells out within an hour or less. That's also why so many theme camps had real issues in the last few years actually being able to get their core members in to make the camps even possible to run (and, I assume, that is the issue that DGS is meant to alleviate).

I honestly doubt that the theme camp participation is going to significantly change due to this. Open camping is still the vast, vast majority of the attendees. Running or participating in a theme camp is a ton of work that most people are not able or willing to do, and I'd be very surprised if that changed in any statistically significant way. But I guess we'll see!
Me neither. I just guessed that it was a 20-30% stake, hence under $50m.

I suspect that the high price may be in part due to Amtrak renting the private railroad tracks for its use, though I definitely do not know the exact cause.
Warcraft was not the first strategy game, but WCIII was hugely innovative. I can't think of any RTS game with the concept of heroes before WCIII, and it was popularized by it (Star Wars: Empire at War used the concept).

It also spun off the entire MOBA period from AOS (starcraft) and DotA.
I mean, the level of CGI and game engine textures we have is almost indistinguishable from real life. Perhaps because we have access to the super high-fidelity, interactive simulations, we've lost the practice of imagining so vividly?
I am not overly convinced that paraphasing what I said to be way snarkier than it is, then referring to it as "crappy namecalling" is entirely valid.

You have even truncated my original quote to make it seem snarkier:

"to the point that you don't seem to be able to read any meaning into anything that seems a little snarky" -> "you don't seem to be able to read any meaning"

What I find tiresome is the overuse of the word 'snark' on HN to mean 'you disagreed with me but didn't show my arguments the hushed reverence of the drawing room'. As a result, every conversation at HN rapidly silts up with people straight-facedly raising disingenuous absurdities. We didn't quite make it to the Nazis, but seriously? "Apartheid-era South Africa should have been left alone because something something Westphalia."

You are exactly right: the comment is bananas. It is past due that it should be allowed to call a comment 'bananas' on HN without people crying out for teacher to come Save Them From The Snark.

If your interest is in waking at a certain time, you should use APIs like `clock_nanosleep(..., TIMER_ABSTIME)` (POSIX.1-2001) which let you say at what time you would prefer to be awakened, instead of APIs which just say for how long you would like to sleep.

I don't fully understand the specifics, I thought that dividend tax was generally 15% in the lower tax bracket, and wouldn't the $50 of non-dividend income be taxable at short term capital gains, or 40%? That means that the $100 of dividend income would be $15 in taxes vs $20 of taxes for the $50 in short term capital gains.

What am I missing?
So you set up a focus group of potential customers and vickrey-auction (or VCG-auction) one subscription (or k subscriptions) among them, for the purpose of recording the bid distribution?

For this to work, wouldn't the participants need to believe that the auction really is the only way they can get a subscription?

I know someone who has been through ECT, and I had a similar reaction when I learned about it. It's not a treatment to be taken lightly (this followed a suicide attempt), but at least in their case did cure severe depression in conjunction with more traditional treatment.

My very lay-person understanding of the process is that the patient is knocked out with drugs before the electricity is applied - it sounds like a sort of hard reset of memories in the brain. The most obvious and lasting side-effect is memory loss; this person can't remember significant chunks of their life history, so has had to re-learn it from conversations, home movies, photos, etc.

This is scary because the more debt one holds, the more accurate one's predictions of the future need to be to manage that debt. What happens if we're wrong about our growth predictions? What happens if we have another market crash (and it's worse than 2008-9)? What happens if we end up fighting a war? I think if the future is uncertain, and it always is, it's a bad idea to hold this much debt.

But will this gather enough attention to give Schultz a push? I think Perot based his campaign on something similar.

I'm not sure how this all plays out in the long run. But I often suspect we are stealing from our future (or children's future) with this much debt becoming an "anchor" on future productivity gains.

I think there was older writings about "the work week shrinking" eventually...but it hasn't...is this to make up for the 'stolen' productivity gains needed to pay for increased national debt? Are we in a giant pyramid scheme?

The math: We currently bring in 3.34 trillion in tax revenue per year. Our outstanding debt is 22 trillion with a yearly 2% interest payment of $440 billion.

If the debt hits 174.2 trillion (which is only x8 what it is now) then we will have to spend the entire budget just to make interest payments.

If we default the dollar is likely to collapse. The value of the US dollar is propped up by US Government bonds.

I care about the security of my devices and I don't want to pay the Apple tax (that is really absurd in Brazil; even with my quite good engineering salary it is still half of one month of work). I always buy supported devices and have monthly security updates on my Android One device.
Agreed — also these vulnerabilities can put human life at risk, as we’ve seen in recent months.
Slack is an Electron.js app, meaning in GP's words it's a 'webapp in a web browser' - like running a car engine just to get the radio.

Volt implements the radio alone, without the car, but accesses all the stations you otherwise get by running each one's propietary car.
There has recently been some work in the Linux kernel to implement some infrastructure to allow hot indirections through function pointers to be replaced by dynamically rewritten branches - this is entirely done for performance reasons, so that's at least a data point in favour of the "rewrite the jump target" option.

(This is particularly motivated by the fact that Spectre mitigation requires ordinary indirect jumps in the kernel to use a "retpoline", which prevents the processor speculating the jump target but is very slow - are you using retpolines for your indirect jumps?)

> I thought it was a universal basic income, i.e., an income that is applicable to all people as opposed to an income from a job.

That's implementation specific; several "UBI" schemes have focused on providing supplemental income, rather than paying whatever the person in particular actually needs (which will vary geographically, even neighborhood to neighborhood).

> The US Declaration of Independence says all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The full clause is "All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

The rights are inherent to being human, not provided for by the government. It was never intended to state that the government had an obligation to secure those rights, only that it ought not infringe upon them.

Edit: This is not to state that I disagree with programs intended to help those who need it. Rather, I'm simply pointing out that a legal justification for doing so should (and can) be found elsewhere. The moral justification is prima facie for most.
Does California have something like the following? It could explain some of the cost.

In Washington state we have laws that require workers to be paid Prevailing Wage, the premise of which is that working in a county pays the corresponding wage for a position based on the largest city in that county. The reality is often that the wage set is significantly higher than the true market wage, which causes costs to ramp up quickly. http://www.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensing/PrevWage/WageRates/def...

No, it is troll-like behaviour. It is not a legitimate question if the intent of the comment is to deny the claims of the effectiveness of Russian interference, which is nonsense.

It is impossible to know the full extent that Russian interference had on the election, but dismissing its impact because there is no proof of its 'effectiveness' is laughable. We know political ads work. It is why every single modern political campaign runs them. A google search gives you a rough idea of the reach this political campaign had. Put those simple principles together and you get why all western intelligence communities are in agreement that russia interfered and affected the US presidential election. Given how susceptible people are to advertising it shouldn't come as a surprise.

When someone posits a statement that is just insanely ignorant (and demonstrably wrong) like "I would even be satisfied with any ad from any country having the ability to significantly sway any election." then the intent to derail the conversation is clear. Any knowledge of political history (and advertising) would tell you that such a statement is clearly ridiculous. Being obstinate and a pedant doesn't make automatically make you a critical thinker. In this case, it blinds you from seeing the obvious.

i still dont understand how the debt system works. if someone lends you a dollar and expects 2 dollars back - then somewhere in the system the extra dollar needs to exist. All the debt in the world is more than the available money due to interest. So debt can never go away right?

Everything you posted has nothing to do with the law at all. So no, not a lie.

What you posted has to do with perception from the cops' part, that is all it is. In some Eastern European countries cops are more likely to suspect gypsies FOR A REASON, has to do with the fact that they make up the majority of the crime cases. It is a valid - albeit sometimes wrong - assumption. Same applies to people living in a ghetto (just as the case with gypsies). It is most definitely not unwarranted.
