I use vim as my main driver at work. Some things that helped me out personally:

- Playing some vimgolf and seeing what neat tricks people used. This is where I learned about “.”

- Going into the deep-end of just using vim (or just vim in IntelliJ without the mouse) will make you notice all the issues that make you unproductive with only vim e.g getting around with only hjkl is really slow so you might investigate other ways to navigate or deleting a word always involves getting to the end of the word and using lots of backspace may make you wonder if there are more efficient ways to do the same thing

- if you decide not to go into the deep-end, just being more picky about how much you’re spamming certain keys may help you gradually incorporate new commands into your flow
Documenting the atrocities of their government doesn’t necessarily have to be propaganda.

I would want the atrocities of the US documented all the same.

Hold corrupt leadership accountable, always.
Couldn't this be mitigated by making terms a fixed number of years? e.g. UK Supreme Court - No life terms. Justices selected by peers + independent committees. There is one member of the government with a veto that is rarely used and highly scrutinised when it is.
I once had cat walk over my keybord and do hard reset on windows 95 in about 1 second.

No dialogs or confirmations. Just black screen and computer rebooting.
I worked at a finance co pa y in the early 00s.

The QA team had a test they called “the elbow test” where they did exactly this.

Just kind of put their elbow randomly on the keyboard to see if stuff would break.

Last night Trump also revoked his own 2017 executive order that prevented federal administration officials from becoming lobbyists after leaving government:

This had been one of his only practical actions towards keeping his campaign promise of "draining the swamp."
Yes, I think this is closer to what I wanted to say than what I said. Thanks!

> you have to side load through Developer Options

I'm not sure what screen "Developer Options" is referring to, but you can load add-ons directly from your hard drive with no fuss from the Add-ons page (though you must be running the Nightly or Developer version of Firefox). Click the gear icon right above your list of installed add-ons (this is also the menu that lets you disable auto-updates).
That's a good point. There would be fewer votes required. My thinking is when spread across more distinct political regions a greater amount of collusion is required across a more diverse political body, even if the raw vote count is smaller. In my mind this seems harder to pull off, but I can see where you are coming from.
Wow, this is incredibly scummy. Basically your logic is, "If they knew what I was selling, they wouldn't buy my course. But if they don't know then I might trick a few of them in to buying something they don't want".

edit: Note, I realize this isn't OP that I'm replying to. Not sure if what I wrote makes that clear.
You must have missed the declass on the origins of the Russia hoax, where Steele admitted that he intentionally leaked information and engaged in info-laundering because he saw Trump as being potentially damaging to UK/US relations.

And where he admits that he leaked info in order to counter the effect of Hillary's emails on the 2016 election. So, literal foreign interference in an election.

You may have also missed the declass that showed Fiona Hill perjured herself when she stated she had no idea who Christopher Steele was- yet actually met with him while he was compiling his dossier.
Nice trial exercise on the front page. While trying it out, I wanted to use the backspace key, which in Vim moves to the last character on the previous line (when used on the beginning of a line, that is), but that didn't work - backspace on the start of the line doesn't seem to move the cursor at all.

I was pleasantly surprised that cw and D are implemented correctly though, so props on that!
And I'm impressed that JSON still does not have an official, standards-body-sanctionned Schema specification. Nor does it have a thousand other little things that make XML still so solid when coding for the future.
At least it's not made out of an English language construction which is actually just wrong.
They generally won't attack unless you move.
And there is no reason the spread FUD.

Oracle v. Google has nothing to do with it (Java’s licence at the time explicitly disallowed mobile usage)
Do you have an examples that give rise to any sort of concern about the usage of GPL-licenced code (regardless of code owner)?
None of your reports communicates either of the two claims you attributed as consistent messages of the mainstream media uphtread:

(1) that Parler was deplatformed because planning for the Capitol attack took place on the platform, (taking your best swing, you've managed to find an article presenting the incitement—not planning—cause for deplatforming as being specifically about incitement for the Capitol attack.)

(2) Planning for the Capitol attack took place exclusively on Parler, (the closest you got to this was the claim that Parler was a “preferred” app for planning for extremist groups, not that it was the exclusive venue for planning the attack)
Apple reportedly switched 2M units of production from iPhone 12 mini to Pro
But their GPUs and SSDs ate already TSMC fabbed.
Wow, acquiring a semi-submersible drilling rig (in use for 12 years it seems, came into service 2008) for $3.5 million? It cost $312 dollars to build. I get there are a lot of environmental concerns with these kinds of things but this just seems like a steal.
How many times have people typed passwords into something dreadfully insecure because of a focus stolen at an inopportune time?
Ocean? That would do it. Great Lake? Probably not.
True that's possible if it were to get popular. But since this wasn't the popular extension, it'd seem it wasn't sold off.
So, will you and others learn from this? The next time a politician asks for your money and promises that this time, it’s different maybe we should all think twice before falling for the same game again.
The "industry" is comprised of much more than techies -- there are millions of marketing people out there who get hyped up at the shallowest sounding buzzword and we absolutely never will out-shout them. Nor do customers who love buzzwords.
I would love to see the modeling they must be doing to make sure that the floating rig is stable while 11mil lbs of rocket with 15mil lbs of thrust launches.
Why COM? Well, I hate COM in general, but it was a much better fit for this particular API than flat C functions. It comes with a bunch of C++ helper classes to make it easy to work with, and the resulting code actually ends up looking OK.
Not a mega power vim user, but maybe this qualifies. I use vim as my git editor. When doing interactive rebase, if I want to squash/fix commits, for example, I go to the first commit I want to change the command for, ‘ciw’ to change the command, ‘esc’ to exit exit, then for the subsequent commits I want to squash/fix, just use ‘.’ to replay those same commands to the new line. Works very well! I love using vim as the git editor, it’s stupid fast, and doesn’t take you away from the command line
People in this thread must know what plausible deniability is.

When someone is standing next to Steve Bannon posing intentionally with a symbol that could refer to white supremacy, being able to laugh it off as "haha, I just meant OK" gains them the benefits of deniability. (But not very plausible, I think)

People use it precisely for this reason - because it identifies them as a white supremacy sympathiser without being actionable: they keep a trolling or ambiguity defence in their back pocket, wherever that is needed.
most interesting post in a while.
Microsoft may contribute to open source but not all contributions are good. Powershell breaks with every significant open-source language style and is therefore a typically bad investment of time for a non-Windows developer.

MS technologies have sometimes been a bad investment for Windows developers too.
Doesn't Apple already use their own chips for everything? AFAIK the Mac was the last product not to use Apple Silicon and it has switched.
The microprocessor became available in 1971, that's what happened.
I'm certainly not at a level to be able to use this kind of thing fully, and I've had several attempts in the past to try to learn to create audio plugins/instruments (as audio is my main domain, I'm a dabbling programmer), but this looks like it could help get me where I want to go.

I have a (probably dumb) question. I've looked through the docs, and I can't see how you would play a sample back (i.e. to create a simple sampler, which is one of the projects I'm most interested in creating). Am I missing something, or is that something that wouldn't be present at that level, and you'd need to roll your own?

EDIT: I've just read the code for the simple piano, and I see that it implements the sample playback itself, so I guess that answers my own question!
Ah, I didn't look too deeply into the NAND sale. In that case, yeah I totally see why they are choosing to outsource to TSMC.
Lifetime appointments are the problem not the method of appointment.
Apparently it was sold as part of a liquidation, that's why it was so cheap.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Nice! Indeed, I had in mind a script I wrote just around that time and I guess the iPhone I was testing on was not fully updated. Just checked on my Safari on Big Sur and they do work now, sweet ! Should have tried / checked before commenting, thanks for the heads up ;)
I haven’t seen it asked so I’ll go: Why?

I never imagined Trump and Levandowski being connected in any fashion. Does anyone have any insight into why Trump would pardon him?
A piece of GNOME easily crashes and causes security issues?

Color me surprised! /s
Sure it does. -2 gives second to last, -3 gives third to last, etc. If you only use negative indices i, the "base" of the array is the end, and arr[i] is just arr[len(arr)+i].
Let's take your NY example. What do you think is the fairest way to represent the people in the state? The current setup, or something else?
Yes, they're running terrible concentration camps.. but for some HNer to be able to say "I can see from this video that Jack Ma was imprisoned and is being forced by the CCP to do this"? Great job being an expert!

How about some political nuance? Maybe they wouldn't dare just mess with a billionaire who was well respected just a few months ago? Well, maybe they do dare, I don't know, I'm not an expert in Chinese politics. But some commenters here seem to take one little thing they know and extrapolate it to absolute knowledge of how that government works in all aspects.
The Ably Flutter Plugin
While I agree with virtually everything you're saying here, I'm not convinced the Founders had a high opinion of democracy itself. The Federalist Papers are full of warnings about mob rule, and the goal of the Constitutional framework was explicitly to insulate government from populist and direct democratic influence, while setting up structures that were supposed to mold the government into the form of an aristocracy (in the sense of Plato's Republic).

The Republic is actually quite prescient in its analysis of forms of government and how they decay from one form to another. The USA today very much resembles an oligarchy (class-based rule by the rich) being pushed rapidly into social media-driven democratic mob rule.

Were we already farther down that path, Trump might have been enough to push us down the hill even farther, from democracy to true tyranny.

Shoot, they really did a bad job of that... Looks like they need to take some notes from the British on how to do it properly! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington#U.S._Cap...
Getting rich won’t solve your problems
Also I actually use vim a lot more than VSCode which I have not used much.

But I also think I wasted a lot of time over the years figuring out how to use it and how to set it up. I am trying to save some people a lot of time. I actually think I am still wasting time with it and its because of social pressure to use an outdated program. Its like some kind of psychological thing that has me compelled to be irrational to fit in.
I don't think that Levandowski, Snowden, or Assange deserve pardons.
My own reaction was similar in that I felt opposed to this article. In particular I have two major issues.

First issue and foremost, a copyright license should be the terms under which a author feel comfortable that other people use their work. In term of open source and free software, those terms are usually formed in the context of those communities.

The second issue is the claim that FOSS licenses exist for the express purpose of breaking the artificial monopoly of intellectual property. This is a common discussed topic around GPL, and here the authors of GPL has said some key details that I find important. A copyright license is a strategy to achieve the goals of the author and community, rather than being an end in it self. The strategy that produce the best outcome is the correct license. Sometimes that means the best license is the surrender of the concept of intellectual property, and in other cases it can be the embrace of intellectual property as a tool to enforce rules which result in outcomes of most freedom for everyone.
Exactly.

It should also be a good example of the fact that the president of the US has an extremely and unusually large amount of power, which should probably be reduced by quite a lot.
> They'll be kept in by an electric fence, according to Smith.

Not unless you're a ghost.
"If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License."

This clearly violates point 9, as it impacts "service" source code, not just the program source code. Also as others have pointed out, what exactly is "service" source code is entirely unclear. But it is clear enough to know it isn't Open Source.

Also, it is clear from Elastic's blog post that they are switching to the SSPL in order to discriminant against fields of endeavor.

One of the reasons for moving to methane is that it burns clean, dramatically reducing soot, and thus smoke.

AFAIK, this is primarily so you can reuse the engine without major cleaning/refurbishment, but it should also significantly reduce pollution.

Noise, on the other hand... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't been in the oil business for a long time but to get from a boat deck to the rig deck (actually the heliport in my experience) requires a transfer by a personnel basket which is apparently still used. https://www.grandoceanmarine.com/marine-safety-equipments/pe...

That's a bit different from a "modern airport experience." We would usually take helicopters out but if weather didn't cooperate (or the oil company we were working for didn't want to pay for it), we would sometimes take work boats.

Added: I assume though if someone wanted to do so, they could design an enclosed capsule of some sort that people could sit in and that capsule could be lifted with a crane which would be a bit less "exciting."
Is there any proof this pardon was purchased, or is it just assumed? Honest question.
Good faith question: Is there any reason to use RHEL on the server for a small startup team? The ecosystem around Debian and its derivatives seems much more user-friendly and robust.

How is this better than using a fast ferry or aircraft? Those have the benefit of being able to pick people up and drop them off from multiple points.
You can do better to voice your displeasure by not stretching credulity.
Pardons have an interesting characteristic in that you can be both angry at unnecessarily harsh punishment (therefore, be happy with it being undone) but also be angry at the corruption that leads to the pardon (therefore, be angry at it being undone.)
Saturn's tilt caused by its moons
>One way of thinking of it is that the government of China is not allowed to have a military, and the ruling political party's own security forces have assumed that role -- with subbranches of that force filling in for traditional military branches such as a Navy and an Air Force - which are all separate "forces" under the Army.

This is very similar in concept to the SA/SS (Nazi Germany) or the Red Army (USSR). All were paramilitary wings of political parties before their rise to power.
I actually had this happen around Christmas (using Manjaro). I had no idea what the message really meant or what caused it. The instructions were at least clear enough to get back into the running session, which is far better than, say, most of GNOME's crap.
The Intriguing Psychological Puzzle of Tesla Ownership
I think that both orgs are displaying monopolistic power. ES has much narrower monopoly power than Amazon, and indeed, the monopoly power that is owning IP is generally agreed to be acceptable, whereas Amazon’s seems far less clear cut

Most USA residents support marijuana legalization, and that has been the case for over a decade.
>All rig workers are required to pass HUET- Helicopter Underwater Egress Training.

Interesting. Never heard of that in the 80s. I wasn't a "rig worker" but I was an engineer who flew out to drilling rigs a lot.
Haven't followed this at all so I have no idea how far I'm off, but I could easily imagine that the type of person who dives deep to take on the M1 Linux challenge is exactly the kind of person who could enjoy, after noticing another team taking on the same project, to celebrate each other by not only agreeing to disagree, but agreeing to disagree * with all the drama they can muster*. "Hey, you're cool, let's publicly sling mud at each other!"

I wouldn't dare considering it the most likely scenario, but it's surely the most lovely.
Edge (dev) has built-in sleep tabs. It work quite good
On the other hand users are generally pretty poor at managing software themselves and as long as it works they'll happily and probably ignorantly run something that is not secure already and needs an update.

When it comes to fab, AMD didn't beat intel, they gave up and went with TSMC. Now they have to compete with TSMC's other customers, including Intel, for access to the kingmaking process. That's not foul play, it's the bed they made, and now they get/have to lie in it.
I write pure TS code, and I never use sourcemaps to debug (Chrome Dev Tools has a setting that allows you to disable using sourcemaps).

And our code is setup to compile to ES2015, I believe.

The reason is simple. Typescript's compilation to JS is really straightforward. You can predict the code that will be generated trivially, because the vast majority of the time it does nothing more than stripping away types.

Since we compile down to ES2015, there are a few additional trivial transformations to handle unsupported features like "let" correctly, but they are also trivial to understand.

How do you figure that? Back in the 1800s bison hunters could clean out a whole herd, solo, because the bison would stand still as their fellow bison were being shot to death and dropping like flies around them

That aspect of her thesis was called political "atomization," which was the creation of this lonely state by isolating people from each other, and ultimately from truth, so that they become neutralized to the totalitarian agenda. The destruction of communities, families, and social connections is a totalitarian process and agenda.

It was the result of a campaign of arbitrariness and farcical lying because the real target and conquest of totalitarianism is truth itself. When nothing can be believed, all opposition is neutralized. This neutralization and eventual liquidation is the totalitarian process. Activists project this as "stochastic terror," these days, but the technique goes back over a couple hundred years. What was exceptionally notable about that book, and is a bullet point in the article, is that the very idea of history as progress itself is the initial condition of ideology.

The final chapter "ideology and terror," is the distillation I think people should read today, but the whole book, particularly the initial chapters that are an unblinking view of antisemitism, colonial thinking, and the nation state are sound foundations for thinking about the 20th century.
The real answer: insurance companies and fleets in the early 90s.

Fleet vehicles in the 90s were high theft targets. Common keyed in most cases and sparsely tracked. As part of insurance provider crackdowns cars were required to be fitted with alarms so fleet lot security guards would be alerted to theft. Rental companies responded by demanding alarms in their fleet cars, and manufacturers complied.

In 2020 a rental car is basically a rolling eye of the god argus. Everything gets tracked.

these alarms are also used at ports of call and container shipping lots for new cars, although they're less meaningful since most new cars ship on a 'transit' mode that locks the car to 5mph until a dealer unlocks the firmware.
Which is probably an apt statement on the overgrowth of the federal government. The 10th Amendment has been so twisted and bent as to almost be unrecognizable.
The last point you make is only partially true. The Starship is using Methane and Oxygen and produces mostly CO2 and Water as output. Since they plan to produce propellant using the Sabatier process using renewable energy you get a nearly closed cycle. There's a fantastic video by EverydayAstronaut on Youtube about this topic.
Sure, for adults, that's fine (but I still disagree with the approach, as pointers are a notably tricky concept that really isn't necessary in the beginning). But it's like saying that before teaching a kid addition and multiplication they should understand the Dedekind–Peano axioms -- it's simply overkill and more likely to discourage them than anything else. (But it depends on age and aptitude, of course, so obviously YMMV).

FWIW I started with K&R, but times have changed and I definitely don't think it's a pedagogically sound way of teaching programming.
What are some immediate (and also long term) practical applications of this advancement?
