I use both vim and vscode, and I find that the vim keybindings in vscode are lacking. I particularly run into problems with substitutions, for example in vim I can do :sno... when I want to change brackets or something whereas that doesn't exist in vscode. I then have to use the native find and replace menu stuff which breaks the flow.
They changed that at some point. Back in the KitKat days, I once pranked a friend by changing their pattern to the same pattern as before, but by skipping the middle dot (top left -> bottom right). If you did it fast enough, the gesture looked identical to the old pattern.
But will they hire you for 40hrs with benefits or 20 hours with none so you have to work 2-3 jobs on opposite sides of the city? I think that is the quantity/quality issue OP was referencing.

When you are broke, live on the street (which is a very tough life everywhere in the world), and possibly fight with mental illness or addiction, moving to a more affordable place (which will still be unaffordable for you, esp. in California) won't magically solve your problems. Without the right support, it will be difficult to find your way back to a normal life.
In a related topic, Berkely RISC decendents (including SPARC) have the concept of "Register windows"

Basically there are many more registers than can be addressed by the program, instructions are instead addressing a "window" into this much larger register file. A function call shifts the window by some amount, typically with overlap, so parameters and return results go in the overlapped area, and whenever you are about to "wrap around" to the front of the file, the hardware will push to the stack as needed.

Obviously multithreading on such targets becomes complicated because the normal strategy of "Save all registers to the TCB" starts to become inefficient with very large register files.

Companies like these do things like this specifically because they believe they can get away with it with little to no backlash, while appeasing the Chinese government/market and ensuring that their interests there stay steady.

That’s why being able to vote with your dollar is such a powerful tool. Boycotts are effective because they directly impact revenue. So if you disagree with how these companies are handling the Hong Kong protests for example, the best way to have an impact is to directly speak to their financials.

Dyalog implementor here. The hot loops in this function are running my code!

I'm not surprised at all about this result, although I certainly wouldn't use it to make a pronouncement about Dyalog or C as a whole. But there are some places where interpreted array languages have a major advantage over typical compiled languages.

One of the advantages seen in this wc function is our use of bit booleans rather than byte booleans. Packing 8 bits in a byte uses eight times less space, and can lead to drastic speed improvements: 2-8 times faster than even code which uses short ints.

On that note, the function

words←{(~(¯1)↑⍵)++/1=(1↓⍵)-(¯1)↓⍵}

can be improved by keeping the data boolean. 1=(1↓⍵)-(¯1)↓⍵ is equivalent to the windowed reduction 2</⍵ which identifies places where the boolean argument increased in value. We get:

words←{(~¯1↑⍵)++/2</⍵}

Since this function doesn't produce a 1-byte int result from subtraction, it's many times faster. I discuss some similar functions to 2</ in a blog post at https://www.dyalog.com/blog/2018/06/expanding-bits-in-shrink....

Another big improvement is coming next year in Dyalog 18.0. The computations data∊nl data∊sp will use vectorised search methods similar to Intel's hyperscan (https://github.com/intel/hyperscan). The character lookups here are changed to be lookups from a 256-bit table, or two SSE registers, and searched using branchless SSSE3 instructions. I didn't go through this specific algorithm but explained many of our new search techniques at last year's user meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paxIkKBzqBU.

By my measurements, each improvement (changing the word boundary computation and switching to the unreleased Dyalog 18.0) knocks of about a third from the total time. With both, this code is three times faster than it was before!
They could operate more like marijuana sales do here in California. You have to get a license and the number of licenses in an area is limited, so there isn’t a “district”. Advertising is restricted. Most dispensaries are just bland unmarked buildings in inexpensive office or warehouse areas.

The profit motive isn't the issue. Even if you don't relinquish control to a VC, you'd still [likely] have a profit motive yourself.

The issue isn't profit. You might say the issue is greed, but more importantly, the issue is a lack of regard and compassion for your customers, and a lack of understanding of the danger this puts you in [of losing your customers and, with them, revenue and profit].
No, he is right. Unless the post takes off, it never gets into RSS, which means much wider audience.

First initial probably.

Hmm. If it's the same, last name then? Maybe a diamond or something. I heard (Mitnick's book about best practices called The Art of Invisibility, chapter 1) many people don't use the corner dots very often, or they use an initial of their name.

I unintentionally can see people's phone patterns when they do it in view. At least with a passcode you can usually try to ignore it, or you have to try to pay attention. Those pattern ones show it visually in a way that's hard to ignore.
Perhaps another work, in a similar vein (I thought it was better than, if on a winter's night..) is Vladimir Nabakov's Pale Fire.
This is good feedback, but I think the bigger issue is the alpha quality of the service. People who move now will have to be tolerant of some pieces being missing or under-documented, which often means a vote of confidence in the future of SourceHut more so than in the present. When the alpha becomes the beta, and then production, the pricing model will be re-evaluated.

Well, that depends. It’s quite a bit like compression.

If you are doing something repetitive, which unfortunately is still necessary in some conditions for good reasons, Vim is good at this (and so are most other modern code editors; multiple cursors are surprisingly powerful.)

On the other hand you can always invent a shorthand. A popularized example would be emmet for writing XML, which is supported via plugin in most code editors.

Any examples of a big company actually doing a gradual move this way? It doesn't seem like it would work.

Satellite offices are tough to do right. It's very hard to build trust between individuals at the different offices without regular face-to-face contact. In the absence of this, you end up with negative relationships between teams at different sites: "The team in Springfield doesn't care about quality" vs. "Those Shelbyville engineers are always dragging their feet and never launch anything". Communication bandwidth between sites is also much more limited - you need to minimize how much a team at site A needs to communicate with teams at site B to get their job done.

Another issue is how to get the satellite office going from a cold start. Do you re-assign projects that are already being worked on in your existing office? Most of those employees aren't going to move, and they're going to be upset that their project was yanked away from them. You've also set the project up for failure because everyone on the new team has to ramp up on the necessary domain knowledge from scratch. So you think "Ok, I'll leave existing projects at the current office and start new efforts at the new office." Now you have an office exclusively working on things that were deemed to be either too low-value or too risky to work on before - not a recipe for success.

Leadership is another major issue. If your senior leadership moves to the new office, they're going to be constantly flying to the larger original office to supervise things there. More realistically, they're going to stay in place, because their time is better spent at the bigger office. This creates problems as leaders move up the ranks at the satellite office, because eventually they hit a point where their career stalls unless they move to the "head office". Teams at the "head office" are at a permanent advantage in project selection, etc. due to proximity to senior leadership.

In short, it's not as easy as your list makes it sound, and it's particularly difficult to grow a satellite office to a similar scale as the original office.

I can only say this so emphatically over the internet, but if you have not yet had kids, and you even remotely enjoy your life, DO NOT HAVE KIDS. Source: I am a dad.

They are in incredible burden that you cannot imagine or conceptualize prior. The company you founded, the marathons you ran, your PhD thesis, etc., these are all peanuts. Having a kid is like running a marathon every day for a year. If that sounds like fun to you, then go right ahead.

There are 8 billion people on the planet. You don't need them to run the farm, if you want to mentor someone there are lots of opportunities already. It's also a shit job. Kiss your weekends and evenings and any other free time goodbye. Like exercising? Good luck squeezing that in. Where this idea came from that having kids should be the default in life I have no idea, but it has got to stop.

The test I give my childless friends is to ask them what percent certain they are that they want kids. If it's less than 100% (and it usually is) I tell them not to have kids.

I bet they're more like 4 wheelers or golf carts to rats than cars. I think they're simply just having fun. Or maybe it's similar to the whole pavlov's dog thing, drive a car and get a treat. Eventually driving is associated with treats.

Now it would be interesting to see them making the rats drive to something stressful like us having to go to work has an effect on stress. Then maybe developing a Rat uber to see if riding in a rat car to a treat will have a net gain or loss on stress....okay I just wanted an excuse to mention rat uber in that last sentence.

I'm not sure how to word this so forgive me if it doesn't make sense. I was born 'up north' in a very remote community where my parents had to drive two hours (down awful roads) to reach the hospital where I was delivered. It is far enough north from where I live now that I could not drive to that community in one day.

However, when I look at where that community is located and compare it to Grise Fiord, it is very far south. Heck, it is so far north of where I was born that if you went to where I was born and went a comparable distance south, you would end up in Mexico...

Ehh, it's not clear to me that humans should be particularly good a driving. It's not like we evolved for it, we can just understand spoken instructions. I'm not convinced that an octopus, a dolphin, a raven, or a cheetah would necessarily be worse at the task than a human (given training in the proper format) -- it's perfectly concievable to me that a cheetah might have evolved to handle object avoidance at higher speeds than humans have, for example.

Potentially I am misunderstanding how Tor's onion routing works, but according to https://metrics.torproject.org/networksize.html there are about 6000 tor relays right now.

Surely if some well funded organisation (Eve) were to install a similar number of relays itself, then it is reasonably likely that for a given user a packet would eventually travel across relays solely owned by Eve, and at that point Eve could map a Tor address to a physical IP?

Operating 6000 nodes in a manner unlikely to cause suspicion , and correlating packets across those nodes, is a massive undertaking, but it seems that it would be well within the means of e.g. NSA.

Would this work, or am I missing something fundamental about how Tor works?
It's being proposed that one could have this battery swapped out "at the supermarket." I barely trust them to not put the soup cans on top of the bread, or break the eggs. I don't think I'm ready for them to tinker with my car. And I've personally witnessed more than one profound mistake at the oil-change centers where presumably trained people have overfilled the crankcase (which blew out the engine seals, ruining a Porsche Turbo 911) or neglecting to tighten the oil drain plug, which fell out onto the highway while driving home (ruining a friend's 3 month old Toyota).

>>how to make the 2 ton battery pack a stressed member

Where did the article say anything about the battery weighing 2 tons? That is outrageously heavy, exceeding the GVW of most cars on the road by 40%, alone! Surely this cannot be accurate.

A triangle shape, or multiple smaller packs could help with the issue or structural rigidity. If they can build around a big aluminum engine block, radiator, etc, a battery pack is do-able.

But I've another bone to pick with this article, and it may be a simple matter of the UK vs US norms. It states the average driver travels about 7900 miles/year. That's less than half the average in the US. Also, it says the UK driver of a "small hatchback" spends around 12p per mile for petrol and this battery tech could drop that to 9p per mile. That's not competitive with current hybrid technology (and the Toyota Prius is a mid-sized car, as well) with a 700 mile per 10 gallon imperial tank. Turbo diesels are nearly as efficient. Why would one change?

The technology just doesn't sound competitive to me, overall.
