Vim commands are more than just typing. It’s searching, deleting, replacing, selecting, moving entire lines of code.

I can get to any location in a massive codebase within seconds. I can drop the cursor to any character I see damn near instantly. I can construct entire macros on the fly and repeat them endlessly until I’m satisfied and destroy repetitive tasks. I can move entire sections of code to anywhere else I please, just tell the line numbers and it’s done. I don’t even have to open the files. When you’re working really fast in Vim it’s easy to get a high from the amount of code you are slicing through.

In short, classical editors are like a ball and chain for developers trying to get shit done, and I cringe every time I see a developer using a mouse or trackpad while working. It’s so slow, so inefficient, I can’t stand it anymore. I need vim-like shortcuts in every application I use.

I have always thought that maybe the USSR was pissed off that they lost 20 million people to Hitler while winning World War 2 for us and were never told, "Thank you". You know, instead of thanking them we immediately labeled them enemies and poured all of our resources into rebuilding Germany .. against them.

> painting him as a fairly classic example of a celebrity CEO whose real expertise is looting the companies he runs

I don't see that. Most press commends him for turning around Nissan and Renault.

He may have gotten greedy. His downfall was more due to social norms. Greed is perceived in a good light in the USA. Greed is a cardinal sin in Japan. (I'm generalizing)

Ghosn probably felt he should have taken the GM job when Obama offered it to him. His counterpart there was easily making more than he was despite all the financial engineering he had to do to get what he viewed as fair compensation

It's important to find scrutiny. For any substantial project the code no longer belongs to you. You are a machine for transcribing mathematics and translating the language of human operations to machine code.

It's not great to use public forms though. Revision control systems and hosts like GitHub are designed to facilitate a professional scrutinous environment
I don't deny that it ended up that way.

But it's important to consider how external forces drove its development in that direction.

I do think that it could have turned out very differently.

Edit: What plumednom said, seriously.

It's true that they initially sided with Germany, but that was largely driven by the hate from other countries. And indeed, it was stupid to trust Hitler and his crazy crew. But it's undeniable that the Allies would not have won without their help. And the cost was immense. Far more than anyone born in the US can imagine. Consider even Leningrad.

And by the way, Putin lost his family in the sack of Leningrad.

> You have an anti-US bias ("I'm not exactly a fan of the USA") that you should try to account for.

Yes. I agree. This is why I asked for arguments in favor of the other side. So far I've read nothing but articles supporting Justina (and her parents) and Marty and their versions of the story. Then I asked for other viewpoints. And instead you tell me I shouldn't believe everything when I literally said "At face value" and that it seems over the top.
> Then maybe it shouldn't ask questions like 'why have you quit your previous job?' and focus on applicant's skills?

As a hiring type, I absolutely want to know why, in your words, you left. I also want to see how that lines up with what your references and what former HR people say, and possibly even compare that to something like Glassdoor reviews (if you're a strong candidate, mind you).

It is important. I want to see how they describe the situation they're leaving/left because it allows me to evaluate their ability to comprehend and communicate social/political/team dynamics. Statistically you're not staying with us longer than five (5) years, which means at some point you're going to have to explain why you left me -- and I don't feel like dealing with a shit talker.

Plus an honest, direct answer is different from being blunt. I need workers who are willing to tell me direct, honest truths sometimes.

I.E. "I never really clicked with the team, and found I was struggling personally and professionally to keep up with their changing demands,"

vs.

Reporting on Australia's encryption laws is wildly inaccurate. For one, it does not allow authorities to compel companies or individuals to introduce an encryption backdoor. The law very explicitly addresses this issue, see section 317ZG, which forbids any kind of "systematic weakness" or "systematic vulnerability" and very explicitly states that weakening encryption is included in those definitions.

What's permitted is to build something that targets a particular person in such a way that it cannot possibly affect another person's security.

The example I use (though IANAL) is that a request to backdoor WhatsApp's encryption would not be permitted under the law. However I think that pushing an update that checks for a particular person's hard-coded phone number and forwards messages to law enforcement would be permitted.

The law in question: http://www5.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ta1997214...

[2] is (1) horrifying, and (2) descriptive of something Python is really good at (handling complexly-typed input datasets without requiring complex declarations).

The solution to that code is to remove the type hint, because you don't need it, because it simply describes the type of the input data.

I would highly recommend taking his bootcamp course. As a first stab, I would recommend not approaching the problem as “how do I motivate my users?” Instead, assume that their motivation is nearly zero. If you assume that, then what sort of things can you ask them to do, and how/when do you have to ask them to do it? This is the rationale behind “smallest possible habit.” It requires almost no motivation whatsoever to take 3 deep breaths.

Motivation is a fickle beast that ought never to be counted on.
If you think it is too simple and boring, I'm guessing you don't have much exposure to it at a non-rudimentary level? That's fine - but it is not necessarily the best vantage point to be comparing other "brain" games.

The crowd that is saving for a downpayment for a house or similar short-term goal. You essentially need those funds to be risk-free. A flexible CD is another easy option.

The default best option isn't always to invest except for long-term goals like retirement. It depends on what you want to do. (Reddit flowchart agrees with this)

Also, some of us don't believe in retirement. It's a concept more applicable to blue-collar workers (whose decline in physical ability in old age prevents them from continuing) or people who want to kick-back and relax after a certain age, or be financially independent to pursue certain dreams.

But some of us (especially cerebral types) really love our jobs and are reinventing ourselves every decade or so in order to do new things within our professions. My learning rate is actually accelerating with age because knowledge pays compound interest and I've finally built up a large enough knowledge base for this to be happening at an appreciable clip. I'm in my 5th decade, and I'm no longer as quick with computational tasks but my knowledge acquisition and processing abilities are surprisingly much sharper than they were in my 20s.

I can't see myself ever retiring unless my health completely fails (in which case I have buffer funds for that, but I don't call it a "retirement fund"). My parents have been retired for years and in my opinion they are declining faster than if they didn't.
You'd be actively cooling your wood stove by much more than the power you'd extract, and you won't get more than enough to charge a phone or laptop. TECs are just terrible.

You'd get much better result by making a small steam plant with the same setup: boil water on stove, drive plant (turbine or piston), condense outside, repeat.

However, if you really want to do this with TECs, stack them to lower the per-unit temperature differential, or distribute the heat energy over a larger area and run them in parallel.

I don’t think that would work. A weird attacking style only works if your attacking moves that technically are losing ones lead to situations so complex that your opponent are unlikely to find the moves that win it for them.

He DoSed the hospital, forcing them to basically shut down their internet service for multiple days. No transfer of medical records in or out. No radiological imaging in or out.

Marty was (and I'm sure still is) incredibly arrogant. As the FBI got closer and closer to catching him, he would continually make up different stories about how "Anonymous" was doing all of this, etc. etc. After confronting him with irrefutable evidence, he made claims about large botnets he controlled, and other various crimes. His goal immediately shifted from completely innocent to criminal mastermind (again, huge arrogance)

After being caught (which he was 100% certain would never happen), he attempted to flee the country by boat with his wife, almost died, and was picked up by a cruise ship.

He is not a physically abusive guy, but something is not mentally 100% with him. He had an ok IT consultant career before all of this, but he very much assumed he was smarter than everyone else.

Edit: Also not surprised about his outrageous claims of secret prisons, toxic water, etc. This is just what the guy does, bullshits and makes stuff up. He probably actually believes what he is saying (again, mentally off).

Go-pills certainly increase tolerance to alcohol, won’t change your BAC but you’ll be less impaired after drinking, although it still isn’t safe and shouldn’t be an excuse for flying after drinking. This article is more about the opposite, though, sounds like the marines had some ambien left in their systems, and possibly motion sickness pills (Dramamine/Benadryl?), but they claim the levels were so low it shouldn’t have affected the pilots.

Overall I think the guy above boiled it down pretty well, some mistakes were made, but these marines were not prepared with enough training or properly functioning equipment to do the job safely, and senior commander’s are just pointing the blame at the squadron and middle management instead of taking ownership of the real problem (not responding to warnings about unpreparedness).
In general there are hoops to go through before ending in front of a court: Police must gather enough evidence against someone. This means that the police and prosecution services think the someone is likely guilty based on evidence before someone is prosecuted.

It is therefore expected that conviction rates should be relatively high whether in the UK or Japan.

However, 99% really looks like rubber stamping a decision that was already made by the police... and that's a red flag.

I think it’s a gross oversimplification to say that greed is perceived in a good light in the USA. Financial inequality and the ever-widening gap between CEO pay and worker pay is a contentious subject in the USA as elsewhere.

That being said, nobody does anything about it in the USA for various reasons, and I’ll accept that the USA is certainly one of the easier places in the world to get away with egregious greed.

No doubt air craft carriers were very effective in WWII, when neither side had high precision radar let alone real-time satellite imagery. They won’t be effective in future wars. Air craft carriers are sitting ducks and will also prove to be a terrible waste of blood and treasure.

The Navy is hugely important, and I think there’s even a good argument to be made in favor of the USMC continuing to exist in a quasi-spec-ops/rapid deployment infantry role. I think there’s no good argument to be made in favor of the USMC having fighter jets.
Something can be a good idea on a one-off basis and a terrible idea when generalising out. Having a fair legal system with strong protections for citizens against the authorities trumps any individual conviction.

This article is more current than when it was written.

We are deep into the Post-Moore's Law era, where a new generation gives, now, 120% rather than 200% of the previous generation's performance. Next generation we might get 115% of this, or 110%.

Another consequence is that the improvements we get have become dodgier and less reliable, so that tiny, irrelevant-looking changes in the code may mean a 2x speedup, but more commonly a 2x slowdown. (This is in no way an exaggeration.) The bargain we get from pervasive penetration of more kinds of caches is that sometimes our programs are faster, but we no longer know how fast they should be, or whether another factor of two or ten has been left on the table.

Sorting algorithms are quite mature now, so that a 20% improvement in a relevant case is important, yet a factor of 2 or more may come from the compiler choosing one instruction over another.

Compiler regression bug reports now routinely complain of a 2x performance loss from that instruction choice, but fixing them would result in 2x losses in some other set of programs, instead. We get new unportable compiler intrinsics to patch the failure, that often don't, for obscure reasons.
