In my opinion, the most important concept to understand is "Timing windows". Vs a equally skilled player, you can't have all the advantages. Understanding the imbalances of a current situation - and taking advantage of it - is really what differentiate beginners from great players.

Sometime, in a game of 30mins, there's only a few seconds where you have the upper hand.. and this is where you need to attack. Miss that moment (from a couple of seconds!!) and you lose. Go a little bit before, and you lose!

update on the numbers, i just searched google and found that sina weibo recruited 1000+ people in march 2011. i was being a little bit too conservative in the first place. cant really estimate how many they've employed since then.
I assumed that it was so more people would see it - assuming that Google traffic is probably down on Labor Day.

Thank you for your thoughtful response to my response :)

As for who was responsible - I agree that finger-pointing and conspiracy does not really get us anywhere. In fact conspiracy is the least of my concerns...I am more concerned about the money that is being handed out in plain sight.

When it comes down to it, you cannot pin responsibility on any one party, but one thing did happen as a result, and some of this result was intentionally manufactured. That end result is the poor/middle-class getting poorer, and a few (transparently) dishonest people getting richer. But worst of all, a huge blow was taken on the economy that is affecting everybody, including the (honest) wealthy classes.

You can trace the beginning of the recession back 15 years or so. The funny thing is that people try to point fingers at Democrats or Republicans exclusively, while both parties have done their fair share of damage. And even US citizens have done a lot of damage, but there is a difference between being reckless and being naive. The former describes the people who leveraged debt, the latter describes your average US home buyer.

When it comes down to it, maybe no one was singularly responsible, but that does not really matter. What matters is that wealthy owners of private organizations were given tax-payer money. Executives were given golden parachutes even though their companies were bankrupt - guess who paid for these? Tax payer money was funneled into private companies with the purpose of "saving" them, only to have them trade as junk stock within a few months. Honest people were given mortgages that would soon turn into foreclosures - no one's fault, but I think they should be the people bailed out, not these corporations.

The author mentions trying to get around this with the nerdtree plugin. I stay away from heavy plugins like this because I think they compete with the minimalism that is so nice to the feel of vi. But I can see why you'd be attracted to it given the difficulty of dealing with multiple files.

I do this to get nice access to multiple files:

set hidden " allows files to be opened in background
nmap <C-j> :bp<CR> " edit prev file with ctrl+j
nmap <C-l> :bn<CR> " edit next file with ctrl+l

(goes in $HOME/.vimrc)

Well, I don't have some personal issue with ugh and in my exchanges with him (or her, as the case may be) I basically felt it was a failure to communicate/misunderstanding. I think I said that repeatedly. So I remain baffled as to why two different total strangers felt the need to intercede in this exchange and in both cases they sided with ugh rather than taking a more neutral position. (In case that remark is too subtle, that amounts to casting blame on me whether you intended it or not.) It is possible to jump in where you see trouble and be even handed and not blame either side. I have done it many times.

Thank you for your concern about the welfare of the forum but blaming one side in a misunderstanding is usually not the way to build a more civilized atmosphere. It usually just perpetuates the problem.

Peace.
This way the demo pages are as succinct as possible, the code isn't confusingly intertwined with the html/css/js generated by their CMS (in this case WordPress) and matches as closely as possible what was described in the corresponding article.

It's also a fraction easier (saves finding a per-post css/js plugin), you don't have to worry about wierd interactions with the CMS code, and it will continue to work even if you change the CMS or theme.
As an experimental effort, i don't see a reason why the author would change the style of the demo button in the post. The demo button here is an anchor tag with a class name and he has used that style across the site for all demo/download buttons.

Creating a separate demo page where all the html/css can be dumped looks like a better option rather than messing up with the php template.
FuzzyFinder is the easiest file and buffer navigation plugin I've found. You should try it. Fuzzy matching is better than having to keep track of what files you have open and in what order.

Sure, I get it.

For me, vim is surprisingly similar to drinking scotch: I first tried it at age 19, and wasn't pleased with my experience at first. But a wise mentor informed me it took a little getting used to, showed me how to do it right, and after a month or two I loved it.

Yes. All the tutos I have read recently insist on using hjkl, which is a matter of taste, but do not emphasize what I believe is the most important (for terminal use): cut and paste.

- Easy cut and paste in Vim is done with yy and p, avoid mouse and ctrl-c/v or any other trick that is not "inside" Vim.

- Good trick are to first select a block with <shift-V>.

- Don't forget P, which is pasting above current line or before cursor, often more logical than p.

- This implies to open different files inside the same Vim instance, using :Explore or :edit

- If you have to copy some outside text inside Vim, by all means, use the paste mode (:set paste), if you don't you'll mess up your text.
I think that would be a terrible response. Without seeing test rests I'm not even sure no drop down is better considering it's entirely expected by users. Does something that insignificant really warrant such a snarky response? In fact the best stores that I go to always ask things like "did you find everything you were looking for?" before checking out.
I think the word "awesome" is not proper in this context. Those buttons are merely good enough and look rather shitty for my pixel perfect eye. Sorry.
The new 4-5dan go-playing bots on kgs (zen19d, crazystone) use this strategy extensively. When they're ahead they play to consolidate their biggest weakness, and when they're behind they play more and more risky moves to try to come back. In the endgame the calculate the score exactly, and will play negative point value moves as long as they are ahead on the board.

It makes for a really tough game, cause if you do get ahead, you have to face a series of attacks which almost but don't quite work, and if you mess up any of them it's over.
I've always been a little puzzled by people who use a file-drawer or file-list or similar addon with Vim, and I now I think I know why: I'm guessing most of these people have Vim open as their One Tool, much like another programmer might have Xcode or Visual Studio open as their One Tool, and they want to get everything done in it.

At work, I usually have at least two windows open at all times: Vim full-screen on one monitor, a terminal full-screen on the other—or sometimes one terminal taking up most of the screen and another smaller terminal tailing a logfile. The Vim window gets used for editing (of course), the terminal is used for running test suites and exploring the codebase and finding and opening files in Vim. The reason I've never felt the need for a file-browser plugin in Vim is because I've always used Vim with an external file-browser. :)

If anyone's interested in opening files in an existing gvim window from the terminal, here's the script I use in Linux:

gvim -f --remote-tab-silent "$@" &

(I believe MacVim comes with a similar 'mvim' script you can use on OS X) If you don't want files to open in tabs, change "remote-tab-silent" to "remote-silent". If you call the script and there's no existing gvim window, a new one will be created.
:b completes on path.

I found FuzzyFinder slow and it interrupted my workflow.
I have a hard time watching people traditionally navigate filetrees and tabs

with emacs and ido-mode enabled I press Ctrl+X B to open a buffer, Ctrl+X F to open a file, I typically type 2 or 3 characters from the filename and emacs gives me a list of matches (with autocomplete), usually the first suggestion is correct and I press return to open the file.

I barely need to think while I do this, there is no visual clutter on my screen, and I can usually finish the before someone could take their hand from the keyboard to the mouse and move to the filetree
I would argue there is benefit (what cards are accepted) and little downside. Without testing, I would not be prepared to make a definitive statement though.

The javascript event model gives you the ability to add event handlers and trigger events. Jquery's abstraction over this makes it easier. This is the most natural way to modularize client-side javascript.

I fear, however, that large-scale javascript is going to remain pretty god-awful until we get real Java-style packaging, libraries, etc.

Turkish hacking group defaces UPS, TheRegister and others
The reason that people use (mac)vim is not necessarily the ‘powerful navigation keys’ etc. For me it’s the ability to deal with large files and the crazy indentation rules people use and I know it’s the same for quite some other users.

The way people work differs from person to person, the idea that someone should always just keep on trying, even if something doesn't feel right, is in my opinion useless. The real moral here is that people should accept that everybody is different and that it’s ‘ok’ for them to be different and how great it is that open-source software such as vim enables them to do so. Something that’s unfortunately always a bit harder for passionate users. (No insult intended!)

I definitely know that _I_ prefer to browse a project with a GUI that works like in the rest of my platform of choice, but I also know I’m very different from the average vim user :)

Thanks for your reply. But I don't feel that has any real bearing on my point. Investing and building a product are two different things. Steve Jobs took a class in calligraphy. He has said that is why the Mac has beautiful typography and that Microsoft basically copied what Apple was doing, so had he not done that, it's likely no computer would have good typography. I imagine that would have been a significant problem and would have seriously hindered the computer industry. It's a "touchy feely" kind of thing -- I mean it's about aesthetics (or more generally what has personal appeal to humans), which often get dismissed as icing on the cake but, in reality, design of that sort has significant value in terms of legibility and therefore ease of use.

So I think it is pretty widely acknowledged that his influence goes far beyond figuring out how to make money. It goes far beyond merely building Apple. Microsoft copied what he did. His value judgment about what was important (with regards to typography) has thus basically influenced 'all' computers. What I don't think I have ever seen anyone explicitly say is that without his insistence on good typography, it's possible computers would have never been popularized to the degree they have been. That's the kind of thing that mere self discipline doesn't fully explain. I think that's the kind of thing which falls in the "mystique" category.

Peace and have a good day.

I've worked at several financial institutions. This could actually be based on their agreed negotiated rates with preferred airline(s). If they booked less than the negotiated rate of service it would be in violation of their contract with the airline(s).

That's how it was at one previous employer. You had to fly a particular class on certain durations, and that policy was baked into the contract with the preferred airline, as it was the basis for the negotiated discount.

World University Ranking - 2011

That was awesome, sir. I love the attention to details in the scenario you described and your analysis. I only picked up the hobby of watching Starcraft about 6 months ago (I watch more Broodwar than Starcraft II), but I used to play a lot, albeit at an amateur level. I watched popular casters like diggity, Klazart, Nuke, and moletrap. However, sometimes I don't quite understand why the winner wins even though I have consumed a lot of theories in advance, perhaps for the exact reason you just pointed out. There are good comments on Team Liquid every now and then but the site is hard to browse with 100 pages on average for a popular game.

Do you write game analysis like this somewhere, or do you know where I can read something similar?

Record of awesome wrongness
they are implemented via some kind of alternate "cruft path" using micro-ops that requires extra decode steps, pipeline flush, etc. that slows the processor down.

This is exactly the case.

Just a few minutes ago I was implementing a parse tree data structure my thesis advisor commonly uses. It encodes the number of types of children of each node as a pair of bits, ordered from least-significant to most-significant. If the nth child is a leaf node, it's encoded as `10`, and if it's an internal node, it's `11`. I implement the "number of children" function as a loop, shifting this pattern right by 2 until the value is zero.

Naturally, x86 has a useful opcode for this: BSR, bit-scan right. It tells you the index of the first set (1) bit scanning from most-significant to least-significant. It returns the index from 0=LSB, 31=MSB. In theory, this takes my O(n) solution and makes it O(1). I just BSR the pattern, shift right 1, add 1. I know it's a micro-optimization anyway, but I want to have some fun on labor day, so I give it a shot.

In practice, since the number of children is always 8 or fewer (this is for Ruby's grammar), the loop is always very short. Even while running 10,000,000 iterations to get the total time up to a few seconds, and even while using `rand` to try to trick the branch predictor (to make the looping case less predictable), I couldn't get a discernable difference to show up between O(1) and O(n). The O(n) case was definitely executing at least 3-4 times as many instructions in the test I was running, so I can only conclude BSR is deoptimized.

Edit: DarkShikari says that the deoptimization may be because I'm on an Athlon 64 processor and that this is not the case on intel processors.

That's a rosy picture of what a library is supposed to be. In my experiences they are places parents send their kids for free after-school day care, where homeless people go to get out of the heat, or where people who don't have a computer go to use the internet. Bibliophiles definitely use them, but they don't hang out there and socialize with like-minded people.
I don't get it. When I am working on a project I just go to the root project directory and open up vim. NERDTree automatically loads the file structure of the project directory which is my current focus. Why should I need a file-drawer with the unnecessary folders showing?

I was less impressed with Microsoft's performance than their team spirit. After all, the mere fact that MSFT has way more employees than the other teams already means that they should be stronger. However, I was surprised that they set up an internal league to select who will get to play, and that there were many MSFT people watching together live on the grand finals day. It just seems like they take fun seriously (to quote Day9 himself), and that's pretty cool IMO.

Poll: How many generations removed are you from immigration?
I originally ran this poll a little over 2 years ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=688053), so I thought it might be interesting to run it again...

Here's how this works: Go back along your family tree until you reach the first immigrant. That is, the first person who eventually settled in a country other than the one they were born in, regardless of country (i.e. this is not intended to be US-immigrant-centric).

Choose only the one answer which corresponds to the most recent immigration. So, for example, if your father is the 3rd generation since immigration but your mother is, herself, an immigrant you would choose "1 generation". The hypothesis we're testing is that the sort of entrepreneurial, adventure-seeking personality that is overrepresented on HN correlates with a willingness to pick up and leave your comfort zone completely.

It's a more general problem with economic pundits: there is no real accountability that their predictions be any better than coin tosses. Sometimes, you can just confidently make whatever prediction is most politically suitable for you. Other times, the best thing to do is to make bold predictions of any kind without much evidence, because occasionally you'll be right and look like a prophet.
