Why I started to use Vim 5 years ago. I was coding a lot and I realised most of my work was editing code as text. So I figured, why not become really freaking good at it? Vim has a steep learning curve because it's a mental paradigm shift. I personally would recommend it to everyone because although no-code is taking off, most of the developers are still editing text. Sharpen that saw!

Personally, I fixed this by getting an unlimited mobile data subscription, which was only €20/month here in The Netherlands. But I understand that most people can't get that.

What does seem weird to me, is that they didn't implement a low data mode into macOS, like they do with iOS.
Maybe he could use 'sanction' instead of either.
Conclusions are dangerous, and direct exposure to unregulated information may result in the wrong (potentially dangerous) ones.

You need the disciplined mind of a journalist to filter out the most dangerous elements of context and content so your mind isn't dazzled and deranged by the intricacies of Google's corporate strategies.

But, in all seriousness, there are a number of reasons at play here.

Firstly, they want to increase the friction required for you to leave the site. News publications are all but interchangeable anymore, and if they're reporting a story second-hand, then they don't want you to realize you could get more information by swimming upstream.

Secondly, they want to milk it. There's very little information in this article. If there's anything else worth knowing in the document, they probably want to atomize it into multiple articles to stimulate pageviews.

Thirdly, if you have the document, and the document is short, the journalist likely contributes no value to the system. Short term strategy documents like the one described in the article are often concise and easily consumed by members of the public. The document likely outlines the context in-which it was written, and then contains one or two pages of a proposed strategy (if that, going by the sparseness of the quotes). Almost anybody curious enough to actually read the article beyond the headline would likely be better served by the document itself.

Great journalism has been done over leaked documents. The Snowden leaks involved reams of content produced by intelligence concerning a plethora of subjects, for a diversity of purposes. Weaving that information together into a coherent story that exposed the broad strokes of what the NSA was up to was great journalism.

Likewise, great journalism can be done by distilling and contextualizing singular documents that are long, nuanced, and require domain knowledge.

This likely isn't one of those circumstances. If you had the document, you wouldn't need the writer, who may not even have seen the original document (the story dates at least back to the 29th [0]).

Fourthly, if you had the document, you would be able to check the author's work. This has been an underconsidered thorn in journalist's side for some time. Different publications have different content production policies. A writer may be expected to produce three to four pieces a day. In this context, even when they aren't trying to manipulate information push a narrative or belief on you (though they often are), the writer may only have skimmed the original document before putting out their piece. As a result, they may have been wrong in some essential, or technical manner that astute readers could pick up on.

This would diminish the writer's reputation, as well as the publication, and the journalistic field's.

Deno is pretty interesting to work with. It's still not 100% stable, but it's getting closer to what Node has reached in terms of stability.

Perhaps the biggest issue is lack of consistency in libraries, but it's becoming better and better by the time.

It's not unreasonable for a company to 'push back' on regulatory actions they don't agree with.

Tactics, proportionality, legality - that's what matters here.

If they merely said they were going to 'pushback' there's nothing really wrong here.

If they were hiring a PR firm to slander politicians, well that's really bad.

> Any good insights into why food preparation is still stuck in pre-Industrial Revolution technologies? I prepare dinner from my family every night from scratch like I was a medieval artisan.

No you don't. You go to a store and buy processed ingredients that have satisfied numerous legal requirements and inspections to ensure product safety, which are enforced by a vast bureaucracy. The store you bought your ingredients from offered many product options, including food from other countries. In the medieval period you would not be able to afford anything that was not grown further than a few miles from your home unless you were rich.

You prepared those ingredients in your home, which has electricity and running water, and a stove and oven that you can turn on with a knob instead of starting a wood fire. You don't share your home with livestock.

If you are unwilling to prepare your meals with a knife (even though all of the meat has already been cut into "cuts of meat" for you), you can buy food processors, blenders, meat slicers, and other contraptions to make things as easy as possible.

To say that your food preparation is similar to the way people did it before the Industrial Revolution is ridiculous.
Nix would help pull in the right versions of all the external non-Emacs packages you would need for a real IDE experience. Almost all the issues I've had with Emacs plugins have boiled down to poor interactions between Emacs and external software (wrong versions, wrong paths... etc), and Nix could fix basically all of it.

As a bonus, using Nix to manage Emacs dependencies would also give me full control over exactly which version of each package to pull in. This would create much more of a "distro" experience without needing any extra infrastructure.
The issue is defaults. Personally, I prefer using an open source alternative OS where generally everything is disbled by default. (NetBSD is best exemple I have found.) Commercial OS like the ones created by Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. have default settings that are opinionated, i.e., some users might not wish to choose these settings. This puts a burden on the user to disable or work around them somehow. Apple iOS and MacOS by default generate a considerable amount of network traffic to Apple servers as soon as they are powered on. When I power on a computer running NetBSD, there is by default no traffic to a corporate mothership.

Given the choice between (a) a corporate OS that requires me to perform some amount of work to "turn off" some "features" the corporation has enabled and (b) a non-corporate OS that requires me to perform some amount of work to "turn on" the "features" that I want to use, I prefer (b).
If this is just a matter of revoked certificates, Apple could very easily setup a subscription for developer certificates on the machine when an app is installed. Why wait to check if a certificate is revoked once an app is launched?
does it really get to the point where it has everything that say CLion has?

No, it doesn't. There are probably other reasons to try emacs but 'as capable as a JetBrains IDE' is not among them.

As it stands right now I end up using both an IDE and vim.

If you think of it not in terms of text editing but as "tool that operates on files" and "tool that operates on 'projects'", it makes more sense that many (most?) people end up doing something like this.

Security features should not be used for contract enforcement.

My point stands, Apple introduced a security feature then used it for contract enforcement against a company that opposed them. There is no reason to believe that they wouldn't do the same thing here. Whether or not you believe that Epic was the villain in that story is irrelevant to the current conversation.

> 1. Tech platforms are uncomfortable with certain viewpoints expressed on their platforms and seek to limit these viewpoints.

For the most part, those "viewpoints" are verifiable falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and other types of disinformation and misinformation. For instance, the recent migrations to Parler are chiefly people who want to deny the legitimate US presidential election result and spread false claims of widespread vote fraud.

Using the term "viewpoint" like you did is misleading, since it has the effect of making literal lies sound like legitimate differences of opinion.

> 3. This marginalisation leads to increasing extremism; going from the likes of “immigrants bad” we saw in 2016 to disputing and attempting to overturn democracy.

Eh, not so much. A lot of the recent "increasing extremism" (for instance QAnon and Boogaloo Bois), occurred on mainstream social networks like Facebook and Twitter. While pushing crazies and extremists to places like Gab and Parler probably radicalizes many of them further, it also isolates them from the wider community, which helps reduce their ability to recruit new people into their lunacy.
I think the bigger point here is, if Apple started to store the data and make it personally identifiable, you would have no way of knowing that they had.

They wouldn't need to install anything new on your computer to start tracking you in more detail or building a user profile on you, they could just start doing it invisibly behind the scenes on a server someplace. That's a big deal, because even though you're trusting them to administer your device, if they did start pushing out spyware, there's a good chance a security researcher would notice it. But there's no way for us to know what Apple does with this data once it leaves our devices.
> I'd take a 2 hour commute each way

I used to have a job like this. I dreaded waking up each day.

I would consider losing this job a blessing in disguise. I know that doesn't help right now but remember that things can always get better.

Some things that would make an immediate impact:

- spend more time outside (go for walks)

- exercise

- socialise (it's hard right now, but speaking to a person IRL is a vital part to what makes us human)

- write things down

- tidy up your room/house

- get into a routine incorporating all of the above

If you need to chat, you can email me.
This probably common, but there's also people like me, who stumble upon a problem like having to edit text files via ssh and end up falling in love with it. I came to vim that way some 15 years ago and to emacs (evil mode) two years ago. Both are simply awesome, powerful programs that are not hyped often, but by learning them you hopefully learn something to use for decades to come.

Drew Neil’s vimcasts.org is a mine of useful tips.

His book Practical Vim[1] is particularly good because it teaches you the “vim way” without plugins.

Not that there’s anything wrong with plugins, I use a load of them, but there’s loads you can do without them.

It's also an amazing way to provide context and sabotage the narrative agenda the news article is pushing. We can't have that kind of nuance in modern media.
Your post came off that way.

And yes, it is not helpful to look negatively. I think people with depression understand this too. They can't help it. If they had more control over their thoughts and life, it wouldn't be a disease or require medical treatment.

As per the link I posted in the comment, pessimism has been rising in developed and rich countries. So I wouldn't be surprised to find more pessimistic people on tech forums today. Tech filters out middle class people likely in developed countries or parts of the world. HN is dominated by Americans who have had a rough year. Protests, political unrest, they are currently leading in covid cases worldwide, etc. Other comments explain different reasons, I agree with them too so I won't repeat.

One thing I noticed is the rate of not depressed at all votes. It gradually increased towards late night in US.
Do you think you are going to win the war against "your own" hardware?
Why would FB and Twitter be plotting to "silence the right's voice?"
Because it allows to revoke certificates at a later time. E.g. epicgames certificate was revocable after they noticed that they built in something that was not supposed to be allowed.
How about this whole thread's topic? Can you just turn off OCSP
so the Mac doesn't ask Apple servers before running any

Yes. Your router probably already has one.

> immigrants bad

This is 100% gaslighting by mainstream media. Immigration _per se_ isn't bad. I say so as an immigrant myself. Trump is married to an immigrant. But unrestricted low-skill illegal migration in tens of millions is most definitely bad, and it leads to modern day slavery, while at the same time depressing the wages of the working poor and making them dependent on welfare. That's why Kochs want it so much. So bad, in fact, that Barack Obama deported a lot more illegal migrants than Trump ever did. So long standing that Bill Clinton highlighted the issue in his 1995 State of the Union: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IrDrBs13oA. So severe that Hillary Clinton voted for a border wall: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/jun/27/cal-thomas.... Immigration from countries where one can't even meaningfully do a background check is also bad. Skilled immigration program abused to get H1B wage slaves to the detriment of US grads who are drowning in debt is very bad indeed.

> disputing and attempting to overturn democracy

Nobody is "attempting to overturn democracy". There are hundreds of sworn affidavits and abundant video evidence of election irregularities. This needs to be followed up on, for the same reason why Nancy Pelosi was calling for the same in 2017: https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/864522009048494080. She spent _4 years_ undermining the choice of the American people, and by extension "democracy". Presenting evidence in the court of law is democracy. If evidence is shit (as it was in Pelosi's case), the court will throw it out. If it's not you should be just as interested in hearing about it, because such things tend to backfire, just like Harry Reid's filibuster fiasco did.

Here's an explanation of what happened to you that will alleviate your cognitive dissonance somewhat: https://twitter.com/astateofEmily/status/1327079491760361472
I didn't get that impression, considering the uniqueness of Thompson's engagement: the major point from the start was that he was not an intern who came to add a few lines in existing C++ code. He was there with the bunch of old C (not C++) code which was already written according to different rules, and was to develop a new language for which he was to write the rules (with other such developers). Additionally, he was involved not only in developing that C code, but in initial development of very C language! Under all these circumstances, he apparently couldn't check in the code, for not passing some "test."

Your failure to even recognize all that (instead mentioning "C++" and "certification" which is not the same) and to address the fact that these circumstances completely differ from your own much more narrow experience with established practices when checking in C++ code for which the bureaucratic rules already existed simply doesn't tell me that you can be believed regarding organization's capability to not react bureaucratically. Which is what Thompson apparently said and I still find, as I explain, very believable.

That is how I searched in the responses for any claim which would directly support your opinion, and still haven't found it.

I have no problem to admit I was wrong, but I'd really like to see some direct proof. Like somebody investigating what actually happened there and getting some first hand account. Not the talk about "C++" and existing rules for that (for which there is up to now a confirmation of strong enforcement, not tolerance).
No he didn't. This is what the article says, "On Saturday, CEO and co-founder John Matze said one of the privately-owned company's early investors is Rebekah Mercer"

What's more, I've also read the Wall Street Journal article on the subject which made it even clearer.

"Ms. Mercer, in a post on Parler after a version of this article was published, said that her father had no involvement or ownership of the company."
There is no why. The cos and sin form a basis of your function pace. If it aligns with what you want to achieve you use sin and cos, if not you use a different basis (special case of this is e.g. the wavelet transformation)

When it comes to these article, you should really apply the following "smell" test:

Replace "Apple" with "Google", "Facebook", "Verizon". Re-read the article. If it sounds horrifying, then it's also horrifying if Apple does it. There's no such thing as "trust" into a single corporation - especially the one which just argued that you not paying 30% to them is "theft".

Applying this test helps weed out the marketing bias these corpos constantly try to push at you.
It’s 7 times 70, not 7 plus 70. Anyway, too many times so that you could keep count.
Multiple times.
If you read the convention notes, those make it very clear that it really was an attempt to compromise on the issue of representation for the slave and the small states by, effectively, transparently incorporating the already-established Connecticut Compromise and 3/5 Compromise. And slave states were really the main roadblock to any scheme involving direct popular vote, because then their slave population would effectively not count for the purposes of representation in the executive.

All the stuff about electors being a safeguard etc was post hoc rationalization. I'm not even saying it was in bad faith - the people arguing that EC was a safeguard were doing it sincerely. But that's not why the idea got so much support.
