The “Dot” Command in Vim
One of the worst times I had as a developer was when my direct supervisor was a salesperson, who put me on a project that she had sold, and she was also the PM on the project. I thought I was going to die.
There is a design treatment called protected intersections that slows vehicles turning, increases visibility of bicyclists, and gives them some physically protected buffers. https://altago.com/wp-content/uploads/Evolution-of-the-Prote...

Additionally, you can continue the bike lane paint within an intersection. But I don’t recall the data on that.

And yeah, those mixing zones are a disaster, especially when the bike facility completely disappears 100 feet before the intersection.
Theoretically the sharrows are supposed to be painted so that you're not in the dooring zone if you ride down the middle of the them.

SF bike lanes are a joke though, most of them have no actual barriers, so Uber drivers will just park in them/use them as a passing lane.
Ah. I see the problem.

Well obviously if your standard of who is at fault is "the driver is always at fault", obviously 100% of collisions are going to be the fault of the driver.
I think this could be more impactful if it focused on short form/summary/critique recommendations.

Recommending someone from the left to read a book by Solzhenitsyn, or someone from the right to read a book by Maya Angelou is a hefty time commitment with little promise of proportionate intellectual gain for the time invested.

But to have recommendations on good counterpoint short form content (short stories, journal articles, essays) might get someone who is busy with life and career to spend a few minutes. Harder to ultimately monetize, since the business model for the online book market is pretty mature at this point but no one directly directly pays for that single essay. So where are micro transactions?

Anyone who has been in the position where their time was truly valuable instinctively protects their free time from “long form” intrusions. It the book is worthwhile, the essays on the essence of the ideas will be even more valuable (per minute). Most pop books or ideological rants might only need a paragraph. Condensing into short form might lead to the embarrassing disclosure that the emperor has no clothes.

The idea that you have to read a long form text to understand a different perspective sets off alarm bells in my head. I seem to remember that cults would always want prospective recruits to stay at the Center the whole weekend.
Ask HN: Does Hacker News do shadow banning?

Thanks. I suppose it should have been too good to be true.
The problem here -- and perhaps the main problem in all our politics -- is that large swaths of the electorate do not understand the concept of second order effects. Regulations are always good because they consider only the first order effect. That is, the goal of the regulation is usually a laudable one that everyone would support. But you have to look at the costs and unintended consequences of the regulation to really know whether it's a good idea.

This is something that eludes most people, especially among progressives.

I actually went full on in the other direction and often have multiple vim instances working on the same file. It feels so much better than having to deal with swap file error messages. With the below it reloads the file when the window gets into focus. Super helpful when working in lots of terminal tabs. You just have to get into a habit of saving after every change as it conflicts otherwise.

" `noswapfile` this allows to edit the same file in multiple nvim instances and

I find close and reopen the TUI to be the only fix. A PITA for sure, but the only way I can get it to redraw correctly. Will try ctrl+l next time.
I'm not sure the confirmation bias matters here.

The GC seems to be a comment replying to a lot of sentiment in this thread which is basically "the driver is always at fault". Given what I'm sure we've all seen from cyclists (and the things I've done as a cyclist), I can confirm that this is definitely not the case.
Why nocompatible?
I think it is record time, as I understand it if this vaccine (and many others) had been under the regulatory regimes in those jurisdictions they would have been ahead of that pace as well. As far as I can tell the 1st phase of the Spunik V trial was injecting everyone in the building where they were developing it and fully half the participants got a fever from the vaccine:
https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(20)31866-3/full...

(The fever thing I don't think is actually a big deal, but is certainly not desirable if you want people to take a vaccine!)

The vaccines in question mostly got out ahead of their production capacity anyway too, so the difference is not consequential.
No, because it's open in a different instance. You can use one vim instance for all your editing needs and you'll never see that error again.

And you probably should, because vim is rightfully warning you, that you might lose changes made in the other instance.
Interesting. The first thing I always do in a new is enable the line numbers. I pair-program a lot and find them to be invaluable when talking about the code.
In my experience drivers also often times just don't see you (something about saccades) or even if they do, it doesn't register. Or they misjudge you speed, they don't expect you going 25-30kph. An accident that happened to me not long ago was a driver failing to yield and pulling in front me, causing me to slam the brakes and lose traction, skidding and scraping the asphalt. Luckily it was just road rash and bruises (and I wasn't wearing my clip-less shoes - only flats from now on for me).
“A Story of Inappropriate Technology”
Coming from Sweden, where all tax returns are public information (including personal and privately held companies), the notion that one could start a whole company and even divulge the name of the owner boggles the mind.
A few weeks ago, over the Thanksgiving break I made this quick hack to aid with the ergonomics when programming in my iPad (my mobile setup is an iPad pro with Blink Shell and an AMD PC that I mosh into). My default keyboard layout is programmer dvorak with caps lock mapped to ctrl key. I can't get that on the iPad, but I can map the keyboard to Dvorak layout (close enough). However, mapping caps lock to ctrl is really flaky and some times works, some times it doesn't (IIRC Apple broke it a few releases ago). Tired and starting to develop a pain in the wrist, I decided to quickly hack a pedal to type ctrl. I thought it was going to take a lot to get used to it, but I was wrong. It's super intuitive and fun :)
If you want to repro, I uploaded the STL and OBJ to 3D print the base, the firmware and other instructions. Enjoy!
Replacing ads with our own would indeed be pretty bad; but we don't do that. I think the underlying emotional response you're seeing (which does exist with some) is based on what others say Brave is doing, rather than what Brave is actually doing. Help us correct the misinformation

The blocking of ads and trackers has been taking place for years; long before Brave came along (in it was happening when Netscape released the NPAPI back in the mid-90s).

Content Creators and Publishers, who make the Web enjoyable for us, rely on third-party advertising models which engage in data-harvesting and attention-auctioning without explicit user consent.

Brave helps protect users from harmful ads and trackers (which not only harvest data, but deliver malicious bits in return), while offering a model whereby users can anonymously support publishers by way of privacy-respecting ads.

Brave Ads are matched on-device, using local access to data. When you view an ad, 70% of the associated revenue is sent to your cryptographically-secured wallet. As you browse the Web, verified content creators can receive support (either actively or passively) from those rewards.

Users are safe. Creators are supported. That's Brave.
"Sharrows" are cynically known as "dead cyclists" in sections of the Australian bike community, with an analogy to the chalk body outlines one finds in crime dramas. They save the police having to draw the outline when a car runs over a cyclist in the shared lane.
Tastes differ; I would never set 'ignorecase' as a default, and instead of 'number', which is only occasionally necessary and most of the time is visually disturbing, I'd set 'ruler', or a slightly more fancy 'statusline'. The most important one, however, for me is 'set guicursor+=a:blinkon0'.
Line number are super helpful for navigating in vim, though. :54 when you’re on line 20 is much faster than any alternative.
A lot of cloud GPU providers charge $1000 per node per month.

I think it was great. The problem, in my experience, is that everything at Google is just too damn complicated these days. It's really hard to make an impact on a hard problem without an intense commitment. 20% context switching doesn't cut it.

I am not a heavyweight C++ user (also a very lightweight C and a, uhm... featherweight Pascal user), but I'd think using a C++ reference as a method argument should be as safe as Pascal's var parameters.

Not sure why you're getting downvotes, you make a great point.

Works in my genericsSouthern British english dialect too. Think it might have been dropped in American english where it might be considered quite formal.

I am not a cyclist. And it is because I think it is unsafe to do so on most all roads where there are cars.

Roads may not have originally been designed for cars, but that is what they are for now. You can make a philosophical debate that they shouldn’t be, and I would agree with you, but that is our shared reality.

The issue then is that cyclists are frustrated because they feel they have the same right to the road as cars do and drivers are frustrated because all but the most elite cyclists simply cannot keep up with posted speed limits.

The answer is full separate lanes either elevated or with a curb or barrier. We have them for pedestrians, we have them for cars, why not for cyclists where it makes sense?

It would be expensive, especially initially, but in cities it could help alleviate traffic congestion.

In fact the acceleration in testing was mostly facilitated by the western world's absolute bungling of the COVID-19 response! If the planet were not blanketed in hotspots that match the demographic profiles required we would still be waiting for statistically significant results.
They're pushing for censorship on social media, but I wouldn't say that has extended to the internet as a whole. Nobody's asking for email filters or website blacklisting.

A million a coin would be over 20 Trillion of market by that time. How would that make sense? It would if many large governments abandoned their own currency system and used bitcoins.

Compare that to golds 1.9trillion practical market size. To match that Bitcoin would be 100k$. Which seem to be a stretch in 5 years by many imaginations, one that requires US to pretty much hyper inflate.

A more realistic upper price could be 50k$ in 5 years based on regulatory risk, volatility and realistic cap, half of all of golds theoretical cap.

The down side is a side way risk where Bitcoin will stay around this 20k-30k mark, may as well invest that in equities or ETFs.

why not run the trial in the country where the vaccine is going to be sold?
The reason why is really interesting: it would occasionally cause you to falsely test positive for HIV, because it caused some people to generate HIV-reactive antibodies. Doesn't appear that it directly had any other harmful effects. But obviously false positives for HIV could be a disaster for HIV containment, and lead to many more people killed by actual HIV in the long run.

It'd be really interesting to know how easy that was to catch: was it guaranteed that they'd notice that kind of issue? Or did they get lucky?

Brave excises quite a bit of Chromium[1], but that isn't what makes it fast and lightweight. The real savings come by way of not having to download all of the cruft of the Web.

Yeah I take back what I wrote for web-dev. Although I find Linux broader than Mac Os in this case because the server side is likely to be Linux in prod and never Mac Os, and in some complex cases it will also be Linux in dev. But even with that, yes big parts of web-dev take place on Mac Os.
But it hasn't happened to our currency. The only thing that's happening to our currency right now is our political instability, which frankly is a little unsettling at the moment with all the talk of secession martial law, suspension of the Constitution, and religious fervor for Trump that we are seeing on the far right at this moment in time.
> I’m not convinced that all semantics of “and” can be derived from set operations.

Totally agree. I think part of the issue is that "natural-language and" behaves differently when you apply it to different parts of speech, and everyone in this thread is thinking of a different part!

That being said, in the example sentences you gave ("I punched Bob and apologized" vs. "I apologized and punched Bob"), it's actually ambiguous whether they have equivalent meaning or not, when we ONLY consider grammar. Using ONLY the words in the sentence, the relationship between "apologized" and "punched" rests on our interpretation of "and"'s grammatical role. Taken in its usual sense as a conjunction, the two verbs are only related in the sense that the same subject performed them.

But I think you're arguing that "and" places the two verbs in sequence (which prevents the sentence from being flipped without changing meaning.) The more I think about this, the more I don't think it follows. To read the verb phrase this way, the reader has to infer a missing conjunctive adverb: ("punched Bob and [then] apologized")... and in order to make that inference, you need context from the sentence.

To make matters more complicated, we _could_ interpret the sentence in a way that doesn't imply the verbs are related: suppose the speaker is apologizing to some third party, and punches Bob for some unrelated reason. If we interpret it this way, the two sentences can be switched without changing the meaning too much.

But all this just goes to show: your core point is correct: natural languages aren't formal languages, and trying to treat them as such is an exercise in frustration.
How is it not Microsoft's fault if they don't provide the user with any information to decide whether the MFA request is legit?
Some folk like `34d` so they don't need to press shift. And sometimes set relative line numbers so they don't need to do the subtraction.
