> Do we not support people who put their resources into a book?

Another false dichotomy.
Why does "support" equal banning libraries from buying books for 8 weeks, when anybody else can buy them freely?
People seem to instinctively feel that an e-book shouldn't cost as much as a real book. A paperback edition of a book often has multiple owners throughout its — sometimes considerable — lifespan. That's simply part of the deal, and it always has been.

E-books lack the ability to share, sell, and pass it on. That's fine, but the market won't bear nearly the same price as a paper book that can do all those things. An e-book should in all fairness cost perhaps a third or fourth of a paper book — i.e., the price of a paperback edition divided by the average number of readers it tends to have. Not pricing the goods accordingly leads to where we are now: mass piracy of e-books and hardly anyone feeling guilty about it.

I don't read e-books myself (I take delight in my collection of paper books), but as far as I know sharing USB-drives filled with thousands of e-books is common in a lot of circles — with middle-aged people in particular. Compare this with piracy in games, music, and video, which is comparatively rare due to the affordable and easy legal alternatives, and it is hard not to see that the market is simply not offering the best solution.

The most interesting fact about this release - from my personal point of view - is that I don’t care. I am usually very interested in updates to software I use often. nvim/vim is a program I use every day but I never had the feeling that it was lacking anything. I never ran into bugs. I don’t even have the feeling that I will grasp all of its features anyway not to mention the countless plugins. And I expect this upgrade to be stable and frictionless as in recent years. A tremendous achievement compared to all the other programs I have the pleasure to work with.

Show HN: OpenFaaS (0.17.0) Serverless Functions Made Simple
Indeed sorry that's badly worded, both compilers are very good, I meant more the UX around compilation in general as I'm not apt to judge the compilers themselves.
Stuff like this will happen as long as Nominet is a for-profit company.
No i think it is actually about philosophies (or at least a way of looking at how software should be made) - again, i point out to Borland (whose IDEs were always provided a way more integrated environment than anything Microsoft ever did - e.g. for C++ MSVC always called out to a separate compiler program that had to reparse/restart its state for each file whereas BCC had the compiler as part of the IDE executable that would keep state across compilation in memory and even use the editor text buffer for 'input' if there was one instead of loading a file from disk) and Smalltalk (where the IDE and runtime are the same thing, you are modifying a live environment with tools written in that same environment instead of cold-running everything from start).

libclang might be a bit closer but it still is something separate from whatever IDE it is used for.

Honestly i do not believe it is even possible to what the sort of integration i'm talking about by stitching together separate projects no matter how many extension points and hooks those projects provide - by definition they aren't made with a singular coherent vision where everything is meant to work together, instead each project has its own idea of how it should work.

MSVC could in theory be able to do that since the IDE is made by the same company as the compiler, but in practice the teams behind it are probably acting as separate "sub-companies" inside the bigger organization. They're not seen as a single "C++ development environment" project but as two separate projects that happen to communicate with each other.

I'm not sure if 'philosophy' is the proper term here, but it is certainly about how you believe that software should be made and having that in mind at all times when designing it at all levels - be it the functionality to provide or how that will be implemented (e.g. a compiler that runs as a simple standalone application can just use globals for the state and perhaps not even free memory at shutdown - see dlang as an example - whereas a compiler meant to be integrated as a library cannot do that).

As an example, for a Borland-like approach (at least based on my understanding of it), adding a language extension to -say- provide meta-data for classes wouldn't be something that only the compiler developers cared about, but something that the developers of the compiler, the debugger (for being able to display the meta-data), the IDE (for editor auto-completion and automatic code editing - later Borland IDEs could modify the code - and debugger UI), the framework library (for taking advantage of it and providing a 'best use' scenario), etc. And all of those would influence the new functionality instead of being something that was added by the compiler team and then the rest would have to support (as it is done by pretty much every language that only exists as a standalone compiler or interpreter without any concern for IDEs, debuggers, UIs, etc nowadays).
I think people who have more energy (ala endurance athletes) look more disciplined.

Also what kind of energy you need to be a President, Chess Grandmaster or a Tennis Grand Slam winner is different. They all are called displined though.

People with disabilities and mental health issues who do well are usually those with high energy levels or are in environments that produce energy more than drain energy(distractions/triggers etc play a role here).

You can also see it in areas of poverty. People who do well are usually called more driven, ambitious etc which basically again goes back to energy levels.

Stephen King definitely has more energy than GRRM. But Martin has proved you can be as distracted as you want and still suceed if you have an imagination and are social.
You're right, as far as it goes. To be optimal, it might be good to pick from a certain class of common username (different on each site) and use that. For example, maybe I could be "cardinals59" on one site and "I|1II||1II" on another site.

However, that would offer limited anonymity benefit. With the full firehose of Reddit and HN data, you could probably correlate my accounts on each site to a moderate degree of confidence just by when I post. But, I'm not too worried about that, as long as a third party can't easily link that to my real life identity. And you can see by my post history that even in that case, I'm not trying to make it impossible. Just difficult for the casual harasser. With access to the biographical information I've posted on this account, you could probably guess my employer. With access to that entity's internal databases, you could probably narrow me down to one of about 5k people. With access to other information I've posted and public records, you could probably narrow down to one of hundreds of people. Maybe if you had a lot of skill you could do more.

But, why? It's all about risk management. As long as it's hard enough to do that it's lower than other risks I face, I'm fine. If I were higher profile (e.g. if I were an SVP at my employer, or were likely to become one someday), I might be even more discreet. It would be most sensible not to post at all in that case. But I'll probably never be that important, and that's how I like it. As it is, the risk of my online identity being used to hurt me is (I estimate) lower than the risk of being killed in a traffic accident. I don't worry too much about the latter risk, so I really shouldn't worry much about the former.

For me, it's good enough that if you Google for my full name, you don't see me. Even if you google my name + employer, or my name + hometown or current location, you can't find any information on me. That's the extent of the threat model I'm trying to actively defend.
I very much suspect that "same stack" here means some blurry "API" and some shared code, not actually the same OS all the way down. Or maybe the same OS at the lowest level, and then running something like Android virtualized for some of the user-facing bits.

I think vim with a fuzzy finder plugin like FZF will easily handle 1000s of files not 100s. The project I'm currently working in has 6495 files, I don't regard that as a large number.

You would be surprised by what Vim can do out of the box simply by turning features on. It's also very easy to move configs about. I use github for that job but I can use Vi/Vim without a config if needed.

However what I really mean by portability is that once set up I have exactly the same shortcuts on both my own mac, client's linux laptop and servers. Currently I use tmux for window management but I could use NeoVim for that now. If I want to open a split terminal window or move an existing one about it's exactly the same short cut on each machine.

> Another point: I think with strongly and statically typed languages one shouldn't think about writing code as writing text, but about building a syntax tree that happens to be text.

That's in no way tied to a GUI and there's nothing to stop you adding IDE like features to an editor like Vim. The terminal is just another way of representing tooling to the user.

However if you prefer a GUI interface then nothing stops you from using that in preference to the terminal either. I only point this out as the grand parent asked why we would bother in 2019.

> This obviously wouldn’t make your career life any better but you might have other things going on that would lead you not to describe life as a failure.

I have my religious pursuits and what not but by failure I mostly mean I have no meaningful connections. All of my friends are married and/or married with children, I don't have much family left alive, I've got my mother living with me until she dies which could be tomorrow or might be another 20 years which puts a bit of a damper on pursuing romantic interests and at my age most women are divorced with multiple children and don't have much free time and aren't really open to the idea of pursuing something where someone's retired mother would be moving in with them.

Yes I've got a comfortable place to sleep and food to eat and what not but my job is something OCR & 'dumb' AI will eventually largely automate, I have no intimate (in a non sexual sense) connections like I did in school because everyone is busy with their families now, I've just got a house plant which has entirely overtaken the kitchen bar and is now spilling over onto the floor and my stuffed animal Bun from my first Easter that I tell good night every night as he sits on a book shelf in his dotage.

I don't think that necessarily follows. Suffering is a necessary component of growth, and so maybe it isn't unreasonable that a god allows their creation to suffer in order to grow. If human beings spent their lives in an idyllic garden of Eden, what would we be? Would we create art? Would we explore? Would we achieve anything? Parents often both allow and inflict suffering upon their children, but do you believe that these are acts of malevolence?

Looks a bit like BASIC and python were walking down the road, triped over and fell inside a blender... Not bad, but having learnt to program in BASIC in my childhood, and having moved on to python over the years (plus a few in betweeners), I have mixed feelings.

BASIC was easy (and I see that in the drawing commands included in this course), but it limited you in ways you didn't know (. A lot of that "easiness" can come from something as simple as:

from easy_operations import *

...(going full python here, I know) and then you work out introducing how those operations are performed on more advanced courses.

Still, a good experiment on teaching how to program.

> “We know Alaric, who was king of the Visigoths, raided Greece in 397AD,” he said. Historians believe he destroyed cities partly to gain wealth, but also to spread Christianity

It's interesting to note that Alaric was an Arian [1], and not an Orthodox Christian (even though I don't know for sure if by 397 AD the term "Orthodox" was already in use or not). A fellow Arian Christian from that era and area (the Northern Balkans) was Ulfilas, who "is credited with the translation of the Bible into the Gothic Bible" [2]. If you're going to tell a random someone that the first Gothic alphabet was "invented" in present-day Northern Bulgaria not a lot of people will believe you, especially now when there's lots of talk about "origins" and borders keeping the people "not of our culture" out.

> You could say China has control over Australia and the United States for the same reason

I think that's a bit disingenuous. No-one would seriously claim that those two countries are beholden to China in anything other than trade. Meanwhile Taiwan has a freaking "independence movement". Would there be an independence movement if a country is truly independent already? They call themselves the Republic of China for pete's sake. A fact, needless to say, not lost on the mainlanders.

I'm not any kind of expert but I know enough that it's not as simple as "separate country, game over". Every decision Taiwan makes is taken with careful consideration of the mainland's reaction. And I know exactly what the mainlanders think of Taiwan - renegade island to be brought to heel ASAP. Probably not by brute force - although that possibility always lurks, and no-one would stop them. No, they'll do it the Chinese way - long-game manipulation until they hold all the cards. There's no if here, there's simply when.

Some countries simply can't exist in the long term, especially when they're right next to a much larger party with designs on them - doubly so if there's some sort of history. Ukraine was/is one. HK too. The clock is ticking for DPRK, it's just a question of who's going to own the mess afterwards. The clock is set further out for Taiwan but.. the writing on the wall is so clear you could read it from space.

Don't get me wrong, I think all of this sucks. I love Taiwan and don't want to see it subsumed into the Borg. That doesn't really change anything, though.
