Windows splitting is actually quite sophisticated you can split horizontally or vertically and split successive sections of the screen. You can balance windows in one dimension or by area. You can do this automatically as you create or destroy windows if you like.

You can have new splits inherit the file you are already editing or show a blank buffer. Further closing a split doesn't kill the buffer or make you decide at that point whether to save a buffer it just destroys the view not the thing.

Native tabs interact with splits in one of two ways. Either as an array of window arrangements at top of window or an array of buffers within a particular split.

You can manually resize a split with the mouse and in fact you can create them via the file menu which also shows the key binding to activate the functionality beside the option ensuring that the 2nd through 10 millionth time you need the functionality you can just press a few buttons.

It's not opening external apps like clicking a link in your email and having your regular web browser open the url its creating a pyqt app within the space of your emacs/tab/split that you can interact with via elisp

> As a scientist, but not a technical expert in this field, I felt that this article read pretty straight forward. Though I will admit that there could be added clarity for a more general audience (pretty much all work can).

Yeah. My concern isn't that the meaning wasn't clear. My concern was that by focusing on the semantics of the jargon, it comes across as combative and alienates readers over something which is ultimately not important.

I think you and I are at a point of understanding where we're able to receive this feedback on the terminology and correct our own usage very quickly. I've certainly taken note.
Whether it's meaningless depends on the timescale. For zero months its very meaningful while for infinity months it's completely meaningless. And in-between it's meaningful, e.g. they would have died in the next 12 months.
>> It could be (is likely) that the problem never was as bad to begin with

As of today the USA has 75,000+ dead and counting. That is pretty fucking bad.
Ya, a "few" hours. Look at the western states, or the Canadian provinces, 6 hours between cities is literally an afternoon's drive.

Doesn't make it different, so now we have feedback and people who aren't experts having a voice where fifty years ago people were vetted, from personal networks before they went live on TV and say anything.

Less filters, and no governance.
On the contrary, it's you who has a simplistic view. You have no right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater, just as you had no right to promote the spread of a disease that's going to kill hundreds of thousands of people. This is why public health officials have the legal authority to impose these lockdowns.

I wish everyone who believed as you do would "assemble" at the graves of those who died because of them.
Most of the apps I've worked on don't have conversions and aren't indexed by search engines. One app I worked on recently did have a mobile version that received a small fraction of all traffic, and even then overwhelmingly from relatively modern iOS devices.

It's like all engineering: use the right tools for the job. If low-end Android users are a significant portion of your target audience you have to design your system around that.

It's the other way around.

You are the one claiming so you need to show how you are going to store enough energy around ex. the US to be able to reliably provide energy from renewable energy sources to everyone that needs it or let's just say 50% of the energy needs (not just electricity).

Electricity is around 20% of the total energy consumption.

The limitation is storing enough energy at a small enough area with enough distribution.

So no, they weren't right at all. We aren't seeing any mass adoption of them only a lot of claims about potential and that is why very few people are investing. Not because they are scared but because there aren't any solutions to some of the foundational problems. That would require new discoveries.

Ask HN: Why are most software eng. internships not offered to non-students?
With students, it's recommended to take an internship before going into their first full-time job for a career. But such a path is less probable for a non-student. Ironically, the self-taught person is expected to apply to jobs with a portfolio which is a greater leap to take, without internships as a stepping stone. A portfolio can be a display of skill. But internships help build a connection to a company that would recognize them as a known quantity.

No other professional field comes close to computer science in being able to start learning and applying skills for free without a traditional learning institution. Yet, landing internships without being in school is way more difficult. Implying you can't learn what CS schools have for yourself for free. University is great for a lot of people, but you might not need it. I do find more value in most internships, though. So why not make them open to anyone so long as they pass non-arbitrary requirements that don't involve formal schooling?
It was then as well.

I really don't want a video to autoplay on the side of the screen when I'm reading some news article, for example.

Well I don't know how it is in the US but in Hungary, secondary schools (some of which start at age 10, some at 12, some at 14 - before that is primary school) use centralized admission exam scores and compete for smart kids or artsy ones, some are geared for trades or tourism and gastronomy etc.

You only have to endure 4, 6 or 8 years among the general population of your neighborhood, but at least that exposes people to some socialization with the different "classes". I'm doing a PhD now, but made good friends with people who now do blue collar jobs which makes the working class less of an "other" in my eye, compared if I had been to elite high brow schools the whole time.

Google expects its staff to work from home until 2021
Food for thought- the value of each user is radically different when accounting for geographic (i.e. income) markets.

For subscription to work, you either:

1- undercharge users from wealthier countries

2- price poorer users out of you platform

3- give up on the idea of worldwide adoption (Facebook scale, as you say) entirely

4- attempt to charge different amounts by country of origin, and watch your users cheat the system mercilessly

5- go freemium, and suffer the same fate that news organizations do- find that far too few are willing to pay to go ad-free, stick ads back into the free version, and end up leaking data anyway

I suppose 4 might be the most feasible option, but once it is obvious that some people pay more for the exact same value, they are likely to assume that the product has less value than it actually does, feeling that they are being ripped off.

In short, there is probably a good reason that paid services will never reach Facebook scale.
Sorry but this is terrible advice. If trading Oil Futures is akin to playing Russian Roulette then trading Oil ETFs is akin to juggling live hand grenades. One will go off as soon as you stop!

Most commodity and leveraged ETFs are designed to benefit just one party - the designer of the ETF. There are plenty of articles on USO and its travails.
I think you've summed it up that your beliefs are very specific and if anyone disagrees with one of them they're unlikely to agree with the rest of them.

This is what I want to know.

Ridesharing fares are obviously underpriced … and if they were raised 30% to make them sustainable, it becomes "not worth it" for a good chunk of people who use ridesharing as a supplement to car, bus, transit, etc.

I assume the strategy is a long-play to have people + communities become wholly dependent on your services (they skip buying cars, skip learning to drive, transit fails to evolve further), then once they are, ratchet up the prices? It's just that you have to clear that point first, otherwise :pile of burning cash emoji:
Yes, exactly. Thanks!
Violent, fringe, left-wing movements are of little importance because they have no corollary representation in electoral politics and are largely defunct. They’re likewise so far outside the neoliberal consensus of the Democratic Party that they have little hope of finding their way in.

The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for the right, which has a great deal of transit between milita groups, white supremacists, and the Republican political establishment. This is clear in Trump’s pardon of Amon Bundy, the dismantling of counterintelligence monitoring these groups’ activities, and in the rhetoric of politicians like Iowa representative Steve King.

> But what's ALSO happened, many times, is I look at old code I wrote... and I'm IMPRESSED. Just blown away by the beautiful elegance and power of the abstractions I came up with, the sheer intelligence of the approach, the insight and lucidity oozing from the code.

> "Wow, I wrote THAT?!" Because I was deep in a coding trance when I wrote it. So deep "in the zone", that when I come out, it's not easy to recapture where I was. Not even the next day, and certainly not months later.

I attribute code I wrote in this way to "the other me".

A huge problem I encountered when hitting the working world was this: common features at corporate shops, such as open-plan offices and Scrum, seem almost calculated to stifle "the other me" from coming out. It's as if the company doesn't want a programmer to rely on their other self to write the damn code, and by reducing everybody to the exact same kind of gibbering idiot and training that gibbering idiot to write code, programmers become easier to hire (because any gibbering idiot will do), and more replaceable (because you are not relying on a programmer's particularly potent other self to deeply understand, fix, and solve problems).

And yes, "gibbering idiot" is about how I assess the intelligence of my normal "talking" self that has to engage with other people, especially in comparison to the "other me".

How about times when safety is in direct conflict with executives' pay?

I've been in the marketing automation space for a while, and it's weird to me for people to describe it as differentiated.

Undocumented workers don't have the same exact conditions as slaves, but I'll leave the research to you as to why their position is one of extraordinary vulnerability and abuse at the hands of employers.

Yep, the browser has the UCD info built into it (a simplification... but basically). Similarly our mobile devices and various backend languages have the same data backed into it.

This is where there are sometimes discrepancies between how a given browser or device would output this data, as it could be working off of an outdated version of Unicode's data.

Some devices even overwrite the default Unicode behavior. There are just SO many languages and SO many regions and SO many combinations thereof that even Unicode can't cover all the bases. It's all very fascinating from an engineering perspective.

>> which is what some of these field hospitals (and the Navy ships) were for.

Small detail about the navy ships: they are setup for battlefield injuries. The wards are all open (think what you see on old episodes of MASH) with little to no separation between patients. That is fine for traumatic injuries (earthquakes, fires, war etc) but less than useful for control of infectious disease. The plan was for them to take non-covid patients to relieve hospitals but it never really worked out. The risk of a ship becoming a hotspot should one covid infection slip through into an open ward was too great.
What is "universal computation"? Turing complete? Then all we need is a good NAND gate. Or whatever computation is happening inside our brains? Then maybe we should first figure out what is actually happening there.

The field today seems to be roughly at the same stage that "deep learning" was in the late 1970

Have all the research directions that seemed promising in 70s become as successful as DL?

My point is - if you're interested in how brains work, focus on that. If you're interested in building better hardware, focus on that instead and try to build something that can be useful. This article got published because of "neuromorphic" (such a bullshit term!), and because there are MNIST results (which are embarassing, but the peer reviewers didn't catch that because they are probably device physicists, not ML people)

EDIT (responding to your edit):
I would love to be able to model each artificial neuron as a separate object in code

So you want to run some experiments, without any idea whether it would lead to any good insights or benefits. Seems like building a specialized hardware just to accelerate this particular experiment is premature, to say the least. Just rent a bigger GPU cluster - you'll get your answer much faster and much cheaper.
> The article sets out specifically to caution about the misuse of jargon, so I think that probably is the important point that it seeks to communicate. I think that it goes off track and gets bogged down a bit in the details of SARS-CoV-2.

That's an interesting hypothesis and you're making me think that maybe I was wrong. It certainly was effective in getting me to stop misusing the word "strain".

My argument was based on the idea that they were trying to communicate the fact that there are no meaningful differences between different genetic sequences of SARS-CoV-2, and got bogged down in the semantics of the words "strain" and "isolate".

I'm not sure about GSM but try making your own board combining a PSoC and ESP32, or even just a board with the sensors and maybe and i2c interface over a header?

PSoC is basically a microcontroller with a small field programmable analog array bolted to it so you can get a but more bang for your buck on the board.

I believe so, yes.

Neovim is less programmable than Emacs insofar as more of it is written in C, it's substantially less documented, and Emacs has a substantial head start.

But yeah, still fundamentally a programmable text editor. If you wanted to set up a file watcher over source code that automatically reloads it when files change, there's nothing stopping you.

It's true that nothing other than Emacs is quite like Emacs. Neovim is evolving in the right direction though.

> "I don't want to go to the ER, because I might catch COVID from another patient, or doctor" is a very justifiable fear.

The mortality risk of undetected/unaddressed heart problems, etc, far supercedes the risk from COVID-19. You could find some limited examples where that's not true but it is overwhelmingly the case.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the level of panic associated with COVID-19 is absolutely divorced from the ground truths.

But it doesn't just affect non-COVID-19 mortality. It may be that our response is even making COVID-19 mortality worse in some cases:

From https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2009787?query=rec...):

"Social distancing, isolation, and reluctance to present to the hospital may contribute to poor outcomes. Two patients in our series delayed calling an ambulance because they were concerned about going to a hospital during the pandemic." (My note: So the irony here is incredible, these weren't just non-COVID-19 patients afraid to come in but _people who actually had life-threatening COVID-19_.)

And from https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0...:

"Third, the COVID-19 epidemic has caused a parallel epidemic of fear, anxiety, and depression. People with mental health conditions could be more substantially influenced by the emotional responses brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, resulting in relapses or worsening of an already existing mental health condition because of high susceptibility to stress compared with the general population."

and

"Finally, many people with mental health disorders attend regular outpatient visits for evaluations and prescriptions. However, nationwide regulations on travel and quarantine have resulted in these regular visits becoming more difficult and impractical to attend."
