>What I’m trying to get at is that I never really took the time to learn how vim worked. I had no clue about the big picture. I didn’t know any concepts. [...] , really I was just getting by on ad-hoc memorization. [...]

>Composition: The magic of vim is that it’s comprised of lots of small primitives that compose well together. Among these primitives are motions, operators, and text objects.

This popular Stackoverflow answer also explains vim's concepts of "verb + noun": https://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118

Also, a lot of beginners are perplexed why vi uses "hjkl" keys for cursor movement. It's because the 1976 ADM-3A terminal didn't have any dedicated arrow keys like the 1986 IBM PC 101-key layout:

https://catonmat.net/why-vim-uses-hjkl-as-arrow-keys

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_keyboard#Keyboard_layou...

The "hjkl" overloaded with arrow movements is also related to why vi requires a "insert/append mode" that more modern text editors don't need. In vi, you're initially in "command mode" and you have to press 'i' or 'a' to insert or append text. In contrast, if you develop a new text editor after the introduction of keyboard hardware that has dedicated arrows/PgUp/PgDn/Home/End/Ins/Del/Fn1-Fn12, you no longer need to architect the editor software to have 2 special modes. Overloading the A-Z alphabet keys with non-text commands is what motivates having to switch between 2 modes. This leads to vi users repeatedly pressing the Esc key multiple times to really make sure they're no longer in text input mode. Instead of "<Esc>:wq<Enter>", the vi "wrong mode by accident" paranoia leads to "<Esc><Esc>:wq<Enter>".

(EDIT ADD: the Esc key double-tap as reflexive muscle-memory may also be related to timeoutlen which many vi users are unaware of and don't change:

It seems like it is pretty much just Python, but written with s-expressions and supporting macros.
So Brazil is a single mind then?

All the indigenous people want to be so much part of Brazil? (Or were ever asked, if they want to be part of it in the first place?)

I kind of doubt that.

So naivlely asking, why should the corrupt oligarchies in the cities, should have any rights about the rainforest in the first place, when all they care about is to squeeze as much money out of it as possible?

Because teritorial integrity is the sacred cow of modern politics and everybody too scared, what else might happen, if this dogma is to be questioned? Probably yes. So serious international pressure on brazil about really protecting the rainforest, is right now probably the way to go. (Which of course, does not exclude pressure on other sinners)

But it probably does not hurt, if people think about loudly about other consequences, of what might happen if the brazilian government continues to not give a damn, as there are really many supporters of the amazonas rainforest around the globe.
How much money is there for a middleman in a $100 transaction in a regulated industry? Some but not a ton.
I think that ring buffers as lines could do a little speedup in that specific case and shift/unshift ops.
Except that even without explicit innovation, the status quo is anything but stagnant.
Are you referring to students as minorities? I don't think that is accurate. Also, the study states attacks are more likely to spark other, similar attacks in the first 13 days on average. I think your statement is overgeneralizing here.
Ask HN: Tips for completing sale of side project?
I read a comment recently here mentioning a website[0] to sell side projects and decided to put an old baby of mine up there as I had no time to concentrate on it. Turns out there was a lot of interest.

Has anyone here completed a sale of a side project before?

- What was the process?

- Did you use escrow accounts?

- Any pitfalls to look out for?

The website isn't very helpful in this regard unfortunately so any advice appreciated.

I see! Thanks. What I meant to say was that the "'smart' enough" comment seemed to me to be meant in a jocular way and should not be something to take offence at. However, I did indeed misread the thread flow.
You have it the wrong way around. MCAS is not active while flaps are extended, so not during starts and landings. It is also not enabled while the autopilot is active, as MCAS isn't balancing the airplane but about giving the right rudder feedback to the pilot when manually piloting the airplane. The accidents happened in normal operations after the flaps were retracted.
Das Pro, brown switches. Picked one up to replace my aging daily driver at work (Magic Keyboard). No complaints here.
I suspect it just assumes that the temparature increase of 2 degrees while make it easier to grow food and overall live in some countries, while screw up already hot countries, but I'm not sure that's how climate change is going to work.

But the maps contradict each other nicely.
I've been involved with several security teams, either as a builder getting my stuff reviewed by them, or as someone brought in to help them do the reviews.

Besides myself, I've never came across another developer in an InfoSec team. Their background ranges from networking, desktop jockeying, manual sysadmin, audit, script running pentesters and mangerial, but never really developers, nor anyone who has been setting up automation for an operations function.

I think this is partly because I contract, and the sort of orgs that bring me on are already struggling, but I think it's also just a common theme that InfoSec teams don't build, and so people that do don't want to be there.

This is what leads to a lot of things we don't like. The demands to follow processes that don't really help, the buying of random products and demanding you integrate, etc. They simply lack of knowledge in Product Development leads to a lot of bad habits.

Much like you suggest, my job is too easy really. The builders also flee these orgs, because dealing with bullshit bureaucracy isn't fun, so with what's left all I can really do is suggest: use a framework that deals with security considerations, and don't deviate; follow this guidence such as CIS Benchmark; Use scanning tooks and look into the input; basically basic stuff, then come back to me when I have something to look at.
AFAICT the model seems fitted to historical data, and fit well. I'd be curious to see if they or anyone else kept tracing events using the model to check its predictive ability.

You don't need an "organized group" (in the old meaning of "organized group") to consider a larger pattern.

And the fact you made an account specifically for writing what appears as rational arguments but aren't at all (and are in fact dog whistles), doesn't go in your favor.
It is very telling that supporters of the 2nd think it should be upheld without ANY limits or backstops.

Freedom of speech is not absolute, why in the world should owning a device intended to kill be unlimited?

I am fully supporting of free trade, free exchange of information, making those nations the best through trade and education. Even sending them some aide if needed, wanted and put to good use (not supporting authoritarian governments)

They aren’t cash flow positive. No company chooses not to be cash flow positive to avoid taxes. That’s not how things work. Do you feel the same way about Uber and Tesla? Do you think they aren’t showing a profit to avoid taxes or because they still haven’t figured out how to sell their products at a cost that will cover fixed and variable costs?
Law is fungible.

It's hilarious that people think goods delivery is going to be a money maker. It's ruthlessly competitive.
Thank you for the feedback! Yup - there are definitely some items that need to be looked at on mobile and I'll see if I can find time to fix them, but I figured I'd make it available for anyone anyways in case they wanted to take a look...I did this years ago and it was based on an old bootstrap framework. I definitely know there are some things that can definitely be improved :) Cheers.
The 737 is a reliable airplane, as experience has shown. The crashes were caused by malfunction of the MCAS system, which is getting fixed. If that is done, and of course the whole certification procedure which let MCAS be certified reviewed, there is no reason to assume the 737 MAX is less safe than any other 737.

Yes, a replacement of the 737 is more than overdue, but it is also 10 years away. A rushed new design could be way more dangerous than the known design of the 737.
What central European countries are you referring to?
Many supporters of the right to bear all arms without limitation are at the same time also supporting the right to absolute freedom of speech, including hate speech like calls for extermination or unconstitutional expulsion of "foreigners" (or what they see as foreigners). I think there's a pattern here...

Isn’t that the point? That if you have 10 years worth of experience as Django developer, you aren’t as attractive to someone looking for a Rails developer as someone with 5 years of Rails development.
Yeah the tech ecosystem is buying their own services out of the wages paid by the same companies, on a cloud of of VC cash.

Urban Micrometeorites – A Myth?
Keep dreaming.

In all likelihood the UK will soon have lower taxes than Ireland while Ireland will become an isolated EU province and an unattractive destination for foreign companies.

It's stunning that someone might think that staying in the EU can beat anything else - to leave is literally a non-brainer. Of course one wouldn't leave the EU to become China's outpost in Europe but it's very hard for the UK to screw this up.

Political parties may prevent a deal from happening, but no one can block a "no-deal" break up.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

> "[MPs] don't realise that if there is a no-confidence vote in September or October, we'll call an election for after the 31st and leave anyway," Cummings was quoted by one of the Telegraph's sources as saying.

There is no such thing as perfect. Good is good enough. Go is good for a lot of things.
Couple it with the exaggerated standards for dating, which leads to lonely frustrated/depressed people.

And for some reason it's even harder to make friends today. (Probably because people drift away from each other faster. Better global mobility, you can have a job anywhere, you can study anywhere, your work might include a lots of travel. You switch jobs faster than people used to. There are a lot more things to do even on a budget, so individual differences get an emphasis, but then those things to do don't provide with new friends. You can do yoga, hiking, biking, sailing, paragliding, and whatever for a few months then switch to the next, the years go by, and you haven't formed a lasting connection. Plus add the whole experience industry - you don't have to do the hiking with the local enthusiasts, you can simply pick a guided/organized event every week, and meet new people every week. And there are even more things to do online - which are again not the typical friends making venue.)

Oh, and don't forget those beautiful echo chambers on the Internet. That helps to radicalize people. (Just go to a gun enthusiast site after any/each shooting and look at the comments. Then look at an anti-gun whatever site, maybe HufPo?)
So if only the people, the workers produce stuff, and the form of organization like the union is parasitic then the cooperation does not produce stuff as well.

Any additional limits. There are already plenty of laws on the books around gun control, it’s disingenuous to pretend as though none exist.
Kubernetes was transpiled to Go from Java, so I wouldn’t use it as an example in support of your point. (Read the source code; it’s pretty obvious — and it’s been confirmed elsewhere.). Some components such as etcd, however, are pure Go.

That's a lovely tale, but is it actually true? The path "western" countries took to riches was long, painful, and destructive. The alternatives available today simply weren't available then. If indeed the only route to modernization were via the exact path medieval Europe ended up taking then maybe you'd have a point. But that's not the case - right?

If all you have to burn is wood, and all you can grow are relatively unimproved crops, then that's what you burn and grow. But nowadays even the poorest of countries has better options available, and likely can get some help in exploring those options too.

Also, brazil is not some weak, destitute country. It's GDP is comparable to italy & france, and even per capita it's similar to the EU members bulgaria and romania. At PPP, the average income is pretty much smack on the world average, similar to china and serbia (the poorest EU country). Brazil isn't rich, but neither is it poor; it has the means to spend at least a small amount of effort avoiding deforstation. And let's not forget that deforestation will likely hurt Brazil too in the medium term; trying to avoid that isn't asking for a major sacrifice. It's asking for calm, rationality, and discipline. And yes, that's not at all trivial, but it's not a black and white affair either; some improvement is probably achievable, right?

Saying other search providers are worse does not refute the statement that Google Search has been reduced in quality.

The reduction in Google Search quality is their need to be "helpful" with their desire to use my past search results, and other "big data" they gobble up about me to "improve" my specific results when in fact it makes it worse. That is just the base line, then you have the 100's of other things they have done to the search over the years for political, regulatory and other reasons.

Google search gets objectively worse every year than the previous year.
But you’re profiting off of the sins committed in the past, and somebody else is paying for them. Does that not make you feel something?
Thank you very much for adding the link.
I still use `syntax-rules` a lot for simple macros - there's hardly any boilerplate and macros come out very readable without all the quasi-quoting, quasi-unquoting etc. that happens in other macro systems.

But some things just can't be accomplished with it. I only turn to `syntax-case` for these things, like introducing new identifiers, or fully procedural tasks. It blew my mind when I discovered that I could write a macro that actually reads files from disk and binds variables to each path at macro-expansion time (not saying that's a great idea though...)
NPR just did a piece on cosmic rays, saying they cause hardware faults way more often than people realize. In one case they switched off a passenger jet's autopilot. They're also getting blamed for the Toyota unintended accelerations.

They said it's common now in critical systems to use three computers and ignore any single computer that disagrees with the other two.

I use HHKB, both type-s and Bluetooth version. Type-s is far better than other HHKBS in terms of the feedback and the sound. It's by far my favorite.

I used several Filco keyboards like Majestouch, Ninja and Minila. The first two are good, and Minila key position is weird.

And I used several Cherry keyboards, including 3000 and others I forgot the name. Cherry feels more like plastic than Filco, which I find less well. Their switch are the same. Cherry has several rare switches like white switch though, I also have one but it's just too heavy to press.

Haven't tried split keyboards yet.

I'm also intrigued by Realforce Mac keyboard which allows you switch weight of the switch. I plan to give it a try when I go to Japan anytime soon.

I'm not sure that generalises. I'm in the mid-senior range and the most interesting interviews I've done were those where I learned about something new. Even if people came up with ideas I didn't agree with, they got bonus points for justifying them or considering the pros/cons. And I know I'm not the only person that appreciated it.

I wanted to applaud the hackability aspect here.

Traditional aids are aimed at (1) old people who can't handle more than 4 buttons on a TV remote, who (2) are willing to accept whatever they're given and put up with inconveniences, and (3) don't notice their audiologist and aid vendor are kinda in cahoots to their detriment.

There's all kinds of interesting things aid users might want to experiment with, once an audiologist gives them a profile of their hearing loss. Aids have programs that help for different situations, like crowded room, quiet conversation, etc, and the user may want to adjust those settings themselves.
We had a couple in the northern California region that were MajorBBS. I don't remember the costs but it seemed like it was common. Wildcat and Hermes were others … I think. it's been a while. :)

I'd love to spin up a MajorBBS installation again just to play Galactic Empire. That was a fun game.
Yeah there's a few degrees of separation between the people who wrote the claims (and have to defend/support them) and the people that did the testing... and then substantially more between those that did the testing and those who did the original work showing that the statistical proofs on accelerated ageing were reasonable things to depend on.

By the time it gets to the marketplace nobody knows anything and we're all acting like the monkeys in the story with banana and the ice-water spray.
And is etcd significantly better than Zookeeper ? Not really. So not a great example for Go's supremacy.

Also with GraalVM you can equally support low memory, fast startup use cases.
Unions were a central driving force in labour protection laws and the lack of unions in the US might be a reason why you have so many people that are overworked and burn out.
Why do all hadith chains and Quran compilation stories start at 9th century if Islam arose in 7th century? Deliberate omission of recordings is the only sound explanation, because common Arab slave owners and traders were not illiterate (Muhammad, or who used that name, was definitely not, in fact, same hadith books -also verified by external accounts- say he avoided peace treaties and forced remove his name from one such treaty). I am well aware you cannot practice Islam so far without hadith, but as a former Muslim, it's their problem, not mine. In addition, hadith as a source has its limits, e.g. you cannot invent a crime out of hadith, unless it is already hinted at Quran; because that would be equivalent to inventing a new Quranic verse, which is forbidden by Quran.

Uber didn't fix life for drivers; they just changed it. It is still a relatively low paying, sucky job.

The only thing Uber did that is worth admiring is fixing the "get a ride" situation. Skirting regulation is not ok if you believe in rule of law. If the law is bad, then money can be spent to improve that law. Uber's approach (and Airbnb's, for a long time) just shifts problems around. Yes, there are some benefits for some people for some time, but it is not the way society and civilization should behave.

Microsoft did this for years in the 90s. They would steal technology and then pay the occasional pittance of court judgement to the rightful owners. meanwhile, they gained dominance by some degree of theft.

All these companies are just proving that laws don't matter if you have enough money. That kind of system is, as we say, unsustainable. If left to continue its course, it will result in some of the tech-dystopian societies which make for fascinating dark books and movies.

You are correct, the pattern being evident in the numerous limiting laws that allow an officer of the law or a government official to arrest and detain you for any minor infraction, real or precieved. The erosion of personal freedoms like free speech is just the start down a slippery slope.
In this case, I'm quite happy to be wrong. Thank you.
