Strange. I use 15 plugins and according to the --startuptime flag NeoVim takes 32ms to start. Vim takes about twice as long, but that's still so incredibly fast I'd call it instant. I guess when it comes to plugins there are some real heavy-hitters out there that I somehow managed to never try.

Built a marine navigation system as a fall-back chart plotter in the event the onboard system goes down while chartering.

After rolling my own OpenCPN on raspberian install I decide to go with Sailoog after a card corruption. The project has come a long way, Ive mounted in a Pelican case with IP67 USB ports and a touch screen. Have a USB gps antenna and an rtl-sdr dongle for AIS tracking. The whole thing is hooked up to a 20kmha battery that sits behind the screen. Works great for a whole weekend. The screen is only on when I need to look at it, otherwise it just runs and keeps my tracks for my log.
Since the jQuery API is more concise than the standard API, you probably save bytes anyway. And if you use a CDN, jQuery will likely already be cached, so it will perform a lot better than writing your own code to present a similar abstraction layer.
While I'm sympathetic to this definition, I think you've just condemned most of the world as evil.
I’ve been around long enough to remember these things happening in real time: I didn’t show up to free software today and start opining based on what I read on Reddit.

Everyone involved in open source knew about Stallman. Whether or not we think his bad behavior outweighs his personal contributions depends largely on if our name is “Richard Stallman”.
The man is 66. Regardless of the circumstances, it is probably a good time for him to retire.

The FSF could use a shakeup.
Shocking how people go after their own self interests.
The whole point of this is that it isn’t a bloated VM - it’s compiled to native. It works really well with containers.
Ah, forgot Amazon. They are a sink for OSS. Apple, it appears, is much better than I knew.

> a 17yo woman doesn’t qualify as a child

What? 17-year-olds are still in high school. They probably just barely got a driver’s license. They can just barely see an R-rated movie without a guardian. They can’t even sign waivers to give themselves permission for field trips in my state. How on Earth is it fair to consider them adults and fit to give consent for sex with older men while employed for sex services?
Financial services (as opposed to actual investing) is a form of information technology, albeit one that is older than electronic IT. It is probably no coincidence that they really took with the arrival of paper and decimal notation.

But then as now, the actual IT rapidly becomes the boring part of the operation and the real business becomes, well the business. That of finding clients and tailoring your services to them.
Ask HN: Measuring time-to-interactive for native apps?
We're trying to measure how fast our native Android and iOS app displays information and becomes interactive for the user, similar to how it is implemented for web.https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/time-to-interactive

Is this something that should be done at all? What should be the metrics for measuring app speed aside from load time and frame rate? I've been googling but so far haven't found sources explaining how you do this without manually set up events for each screen type in the app.

Calling Richard a creep is ad-hominum: judgement by social media.

I wasn't trying to say his behaviour is acceptable. It seems he needs to work on his social interactions (most of us need to work on that, and we should all fight for better).

The only reason for this brouhaha is that the media has attacked him. He wrote that she was coerced. The media has said he said she was willing.

Now plenty of words are being used to picture him as immoral.

What seems weird is that Richard comes across to me as idealistically moral, almost religiously moral: with the misfortune to have a popular wave crashing into his philosophical castle.
If the Hubble constant is increasing, as the article points out is consistent with existing evidence, then yes, all distances are getting "larger." In fact, the observable universe would be getting smaller and smaller. At some point it would become so small that the electrons in your atoms couldn't see either each other or the nucleus of the atom; then, the nucleons couldn't see each other; and finally, even the subatomic particles making up the protons and neutrons couldn't see each other.

Since they wouldn't interact with each other, everything just falls apart at some point. Look up the Big Rip, one possible fate of the universe.

>This is exactly why the tech industry NEEDS to do better.

By exchanging clearly visible markers against which action can be easily taken for unaccountable bullying and mob "justice" (which tends to unfairly advantage women in the same way you level your accusations)?

All you want is to give a different group the right to bully and oppress others rather than actually solving the problem. This isn't making things "better"; it's typically considered rather harmful, unless you're a sexist, racist, or both.
This is not a discussion about legality or facts. The fact is that a 18-old ex-sex trafficked girl approached Minsky and he turned her down.
There is no legal case here for that. And that's what Stallman was saying also. There was no rape.
He wants people to be treated in a uniform and equitable way, yes.

That doesn't mean people "have to conform", but that our treatment of people should not be diverse: it should be the same for everybody, and accomodating of their diversity within the bounds of acceptable behaviour.

RMS has been treated in the same way anybody else would be. He hasn't been given special treatment. We are therefore being consistent as a society in our treatment of him.

Right now, I can hear people already screaming about diversity of opinion, but they're missing the point: equality and diversity is not about a right for anybody to behave however they want, but for the treatment of those behaviours to be fair and equitable.

RMS has been treated fairly and equitably: he has not been arrested or imprisoned. MIT have behaved in a way consistent with any other employee, and FSF have been consistent with any other organisation trying to protect a public perception for a wider cause.

In this respect, he is not a brave contrarian warrior tackling an unjust society. He's a man who treats other people rudely and says things 95% of the population find unjustifably crude and offensive who has found himself at odds with clear and explicit employment law and codes of conduct.
IIRC, Kiriakou was charged with possession of classified material that was classified only after they found out he had it.
Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle address this pretty well in their newest specials. Worth the watch IMHO.
Yeah, RMS is a "nut job" alright. RMS developed the free software movement at great personal cost because he so strongly believed in it that he was intermittently homeless while tilting at these windmills.

Only a "nut job" would make a choice like that.

Joan of Arc was also a "nut job." She was an illiterate teenaged girl who felt compelled by hearing voices to put an end to The Hundred Years War and play handmaiden to the birth of modern France.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Can you help me understand what's wrong with that view?

> Blue Apron just seems so unnecessary. You still have to do all the work!

Not to mention the impact of the packaging materials and shipping. I can't speak to Blue Apron but my daughter used Freshly for a bit and I was shocked to the point of laughter at what was showing up at our house once a week: a big cardboard box with this thick, plastic-wrapped insulating material fitted to all six faces, and inside were nestled six individual meals, also packaged in cardboard with some plastic. My daughter told me they claim some level of recyclability for the insulating material, and of course the box can probably be shredded and re-boxified, but I bet 90+ percent goes right in the can and out to the curb.
I think what is perceived by a community as right or wrong changes as the composition of the community changes...I mean Trump doesn't self-censor because he reflects the values of his broader base and his base eats up whatever he says....RMS' hugs and kisses, free love, anything goes attitude might have been ok during the hippie era of the 70s and 80s during the formative years of his career but does not reflect the values and sensibilities of today's broader development community....which means he needed to adapt or step down.

The poster is writing about 'native' code, i.e. embedded code written in C/C++, Rust, etc. If you don't use 'FFI' or NIF code though, then error handling on the BEAM is still a remarkable thing.

It's definitely a more forgiving and powerful model than 'try/catch'.
For everyone that's trying to compare Shopify to marketplaces like eBay and Amazon, you really can't. They are apples to oranges. Shopify is an e-commerce platform that gives you your own website where you’re required to do your own marketing, SEO, and develop your own customer base. Selling on eBay and Amazon on the other hand gives you the advantage of putting your products in front of millions of customers who are actively window shopping. The former gives you ownership of the customer while the latter doesn’t.

Both types of sales channels have their own value props and are complimentary to each other. Furthermore, even each marketplace attracts their own customer archetypes so they can also be complimentary to each other. This isn’t a binary strategy where you choose to sell on one or the other!

I’m the founder of Trunk[1] which helps online e-commerce stores sync their inventory in real-time across their sales channels. Most of my customers on average sell on least 3 places (e.g. Shopify, eBay, and Amazon).

Congrats to Tobias and his team. He’s come a long way from being a Rails core team member back in the day!

Yeah, I really like Stubby. Just last week I set up a Raspberry Pi with Stubby and Unbound, it was actually pretty easy. Stubby is doing DoT and DNSSEC validation, and Unbound handling caching and a local zone for my home devices, which is really nice.

I might look at trying Pi-hole eventually instead of Unbound to do DNS level ad/tracker blocking but I'll keep Stubby there to do the DoT.
I can tell you from experience Baltimore is shit. Corrupt as hell and crime ridden.
I think Twitter is missing out on a big opportunity for micropayments by letting users "tip" real money when favoriting tweets. Content creators would be incentivized to use Twitter more if they can make money directly from tweeting. More content from more content creators would also attract more users. Content stealing and reposting would be a bigger problem, but you can somewhat address it with text and image matching algorithms and user reports.

Am I the only one who found easier and intuitive the abstract definition but much harder to follow the mathematical explanation? I immediately thought on branching conditions mapped to a function table (like a knowledge database table with pattern matching and related to a functions table).

I understand the higher value here is the Gaussian distribution and how to find or create a distribution that fits real world complex problems, which would become severely complicated to implement, analyse or visualize with classic code writing.

People going on about how he made some harmless comments which have been misrepresented have no clue about how toxic RMS has been for decades. The latest comments (especially coming while the nation is still reeling from the Epstein affair) are the absolute tip of the iceberg. He has been openly sexually harassing female staff and students for a long time now, and has been tolerated or enabled by other powerful figures. Getting booted from his positions was a matter of when, not if.

No they’re not. At least, not yet. The accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by the “dark energy” (whatever this is) and although it prevails at very large distances it’s easily cancelled by gravity, meaning any gravitationally bound structures stay the same.
As time goes, everything outside of the Virgo supercluster we live in will start flying away from us at the speed faster than the speed of light (that’s fine, no violation of special relativity) but the supercluster should remain the same.

But if the cosmological constant responsible for the dark energy is not actually a constant but is increasing it might go to the point where dark energy becomes stronger than the gravity on the smaller scales.

Source? Or are you just speculating based on nothing?
Well, as a Firefox user, I surely could sound very biased, but as for my main browser FF is still the best.

Surely there are great options, depending your needs, for example Ungoogled Chromium or Brave Browser, if you're looking for something that gives a Chrome-like experience, but without all the data gathering from Google (Ungoogled Chromium) or with some privacy-minded features already integrated (Brave).

There's also Waterfox, which is a Firefox fork (I can be wrong with this description! But that is how I understand it) that is still compatible with the old addons (XUL). There's also another project on GitLab named LibreWolf that it will be (or already is) a Firefox fork that (based on the Librefox project), in a similar fashion to Ungoogled Chromium), it has removed several mozilla-only features such as the integrated telemetry, and I think that also the "studies" feature. It also attempts to integrate some privacy-minded features in a similar way that Brave browser do. As the last time that I checked the project, they already have created some builds for Linux. I'm not quite sure if they have started to work on OSx/Windows builds.

I don't know which are your parameters to determine which browser could be better than Firefox, but it could help to take a look at those (and perhaps other) projects, use them for a while, and see which of them suits better for you.

So Stallman's argument was that the most plausible scenario here is this: Minksy -- who at the time of these events had to at least have been in his sixties, not to mention, you know, married -- went over to Jeffrey Epstein's mansion, where Epstein presented a teenage girl to him for the purposes of having sex (the claim she makes is that she was ordered by Epstein to sleep with "powerful men"), and because the girl didn't explicitly say she had been ordered to do so, Minsky was fine with it all.

So, are we saying this is a particularly good defense? Because it doesn't sound like a great defense to me. It doesn't sound like any reasonably smart person -- which Minsky undoubtedly was -- would find themselves in this situation and not have a question or two about the ethics.

Let's agree that the reporting did, in fact, get Stallman's meaning wrong here. Let's even agree that isn't a subtle difference. Here's the thing: even the most generous reading of what Stallman wrote is still, at the end of the day, excusing Minsky's actions.

And at the end of the day, I think that's still a problem.

I wouldn’t call “not actively espousing hateful or bigoted views” “self-censorship”. And if people are afraid to be hateful or creepy in public, I’d call that a win. You don’t get to proclaim the advantages of chattel slavery and be magically immune from everyone’s responses, and afterwards you can’t complain about self-censorship when you think twice about writing or saying something abhorrent.

2) I'm considering taking up Zig as a better (well simpler, because my poor brain can't handle rust) safe language for NIFs. Do you think that zig might make a better fit as it can easily integrate C headers into itself?

3) are dirty nifs not ok?
Not really sure. It's already very common in the earth's crust, not very toxic, and completely recyclable. Got to be a lot better than plastic.
The gist of what RMS said is that Epstein trafficking a 17 year old is bad, but if Minsky had sex with a 17 year old who gave the appearance of consenting, Minsky didn't do something wrong.
