I use NERDTree and quite like it, but I never keep it open. I have :NERDTreeToggle mapped to <Leader>f, so if I need to open a file I can quickly press `,f`, find the file and then press `,f` to close NERDTree. One thing I find annoying about this is that in MacVim, NERDTree creates a scrollbar in the left hand side of the window that I can never seem to get rid of.

Once the files are open, I tend to use buffers, splits and tabs to navigate between them. NERDTree is just used to load a file into a Vim buffer. Also note that the NERDTree explorer replaces the default vim file explorer.

I heard good things about Command-T though, maybe I'll try that and see if it works better with my workflow than NERDTree.
The description doesn't match the poll options. Or perhaps the term "first person" is ambiguous. I think you mean the "last" person, as in most recent right? As in looking for the smallest number of generations back before one ancestor immigrated.

It seems by the comments people are focusing more on the the "chronologically first known" immigrant in their family trees.

I answered 0, but in my known family tree the first (as in least recent) immigration occurred around 30 generations ago, (have to dig out the papers to get the exact number).

I suggest rewording it so instead of "first" you say "most recent" or "least recent" depending on what you actually mean.
X86_64 is also bizarre, with mode switch as partt of jump, register aliasing, etc.
I think immigration is very much in the eye (and heart) of the beholder. For example, I know of a good number of Brits living in Australia who would not consider themselves immigrants. I also know of people from the deep south of the U.S. who now live in NYC and probably do think of themselves as immigrants, of a sort.

Depends on which direction in my family tree you go, but my great-grandma on my maternal-Grandma's side (her mom) was born in Lithuania. Most other forks of the family tree are four generations back.

We still have some family (cousins) that went to Israel post-Holocaust, but most of the family is in the US.

My wife's grandfathers were both born in Europe though, but generationally they are parallel with my great-grandparents.

Our family name was "corrected" by some over-zealous Church of Scotland minister in the 19th Century - it was originally "Sclater" and was changed to the much more common "Slater". Just to confuse things, some of my ancestors really were originally Slaters as well!
Usually when people flee a country, it's associated with a calamitous situation affecting at least a large part of the country. Its probably more appropriate to say 'left'.
Well, if the migrant sub-population of humans tends to seek out opportunities, then it would make sense that the poll might seem US centric as it has been the most prosperous state over the last 50-60 years. That said, if such a migrant sub-population does exist, it would also be interesting to know if they are still arriving/settling in the US, or whether they have a new destination in mind...
Probably because the userbase of 3rd party file explorers is so marginal it's not worth alienating less tech-savvy users.

The common theme from OldNewThing blog is that they usually don't cater so much to power-user audience, since power-users mostly aren't happy with what MS offers them and go for 3rd party tools anyway.

You're not following what I'm saying, Kragen.

The current configuration of the SSL PKI grants every CA power over the entire namespace. But that's not intrinsic to the SSL trust model.

We are zero lines of code away from a key-continuity trust model where no CA's are required for vigilant and technically qualified users. Some people call this "TOFU".

We are zero lines of code away from a cert-pinning model that uses installed based of millions of people to detect bogus certs, regardless of whether Verisign has complied with some government order to sign them.

We are tens --- literally tens --- of lines of code away from a model that cordons off parts of the CN space to specific CAs or notary servers. Don't want Thawte to have a say in whether a cert belongs to EFF.ORG? Don't want to have to depend on key continuity or cert pinning to enforce that? This level of sophistication is almost but not quite a UI feature away from completion.

None of these ideas are trivially implemented with DNSSEC. The entire design of DNSSEC militates against some of them.

Meanwhile: DNSSEC does not exist. Applications are not ready for DNSSEC. Many of them will require new revisions to function properly in a post-DNSSEC world. DNSSEC the way people-who-hate-CA's conceive of DNSSEC requires every user to run a full caching resolver on their desktop. How many people in Iran do that today? Having never been deployed "in the large", nobody knows whether DNSSEC even works.

By any reckoning, we are far more lines of code away from a working DNSSEC trust model than we are from any reasonable improvement to the HTTPS/TLS trust model, which is far more adaptable than DNSSEC (the SSL/TLS PKI has no other dependencies other than SSL/TLS trust, unlike DNSSEC, which also has to make the whole Internet work).

So I'm asking you again: why would you rather deploy DNSSEC than fix HTTPS/TLS?

Please don't say "because I don't trust all the CAs in my browser configuration" again.

On Pseudonyms: Transparency And Free Expression Are Not Mutually Exclusive
What's your definition of modern? The latest and greatest ARM processor (Cortex-A9) has a penalty for shifting. Their shifts are a bit strange, because any alu op can shift one of the operands. For standard alu ops, shifting by an immediate costs one extra cycle, and shifting by a register costs two extra cycles. Mov, i.e, a pure shift, only costs an extra cycle in the register case, but it’s still more expensive than, say, an add.

I haven't done any Itanium assembly since McKinley (Itanium 2), but their shifts had 3 extra cycles of latency. Making a fast shifter has only become a harder problem since then, because the ratio of wire:gate delay has grown; they could have a single cycle shifter in the current implementation, but it would cost them even more than it did back then.

x86 is unique among modern architectures because it has so much legacy baggage. Shifts are only fast on x86 because when Intel implanted slow shifts on the P4, it killed performance in a lot of apps that were compiled with compilers that were accustomed to having fast shifts, so that they would substitute shifts for multiplies whenever possible.
:w FILENAME will save a file without changing the filename of the current buffer, while :sav FILENAME will update the filename (so that future :w will go to the new file, rather than the old one). I think :sav is the right one for that shortcut.
Counterarguments:

1. Kids probably know more today when they leave school, but they must. The bar has been raised significantly since say a century ago. What worked a century ago is insufficient now; there aren't any jobs for the illiterate anymore.

2. I think teachers used to optimize a different function than they do now. Currently, they try to minimize the number of fails; the curriculum is designed to allow say 90% to pass, so teachers direct their attention at the 20%-30% range of students. With fewer repercussions on the absolute number of fails, teachers used to sort-of optimize for maximal average improvement. That meant that they would help all kids, and take pride both in getting the less bright to pass exams, and in getting bright kids to rise above themselves.

#2 is pure opinion, but I do not think it is completely besides the truth.

It's a reasonable hypothesis, I'm just doubtful that the poll, worded as it is, counts as evidence of this.

Another hypothesis is that people know more about their parents and grand-parents than they do about their more distant ancestors, and that people are more likely to answer polls that are easy to answer than polls that are hard to answer. This hypothesis would also explain the results we're seeing in the poll.

Maybe it's obvious, but using more or less the same technique with a piece of music and an instrument in your hands works great, too. You learn small nuances in how better musicians play while also getting in some good ear training. Works much better for me than getting sheet music and interpreting it in my own (amateur) way. It certainly works better at correcting little problems than most teachers can.

Sound editors like audacity can slow down sections and then do pitch shifting to make it sound like a slow version of the original. It's very difficult to use those features to make a good recording (it usually sounds at least a little weird), but for doing quick and dirty analysis of a song that will be thrown out within a few minutes, it's fantastic and easy.

I've used this method a few times over the years and wish I had time to do it more. Now that this article made the connection to learning a new language, I can actually see myself learning a new language, which has always seemed like it would take too much time. Obsessing over sound clips in Audacity seems totally normal to me, though.

Well actually on Android you can ask for no permissions up front, and then prompt for various single permissions later whenever appropriate, but this will lead to many confirmation dialogues that users probably won't like.
"The term is controversial, and its precise meaning is hard to define"

First, if you want to talk about "African Americans", you need to realize that everything has been set against them for a few hundred years in America.

Do they adjust for this in their "studies"? No.

Acting "white" was a term for kids at some point in the 90s. It's not an overriding concern these days.

I sometimes marvel at how well some American blacks have done despite the fact that the system has been stacked.

> Achieving your goals takes a lot of "acting white".

This is just ridiculous.
> Every time he had a failure, there were people there to help him get past it and learn from it instead of getting discouraged.

I found in the twitter app for some reason I can only go back so far in history. It appears to be a possibly only 100 messages, maybe more. The web client doesn't seem to have this limitation. Again this maybe an IOS issue because a lack of a tabbed browser like Dolphin on Android, but with the twitter apps the usage is, you click on a message and the screen slides or you open the link. Wait for link to load, and then press back each time to go back to your main feed. This is a a very tedious process. With proper tabbed browsing and background loading, the web client will feel slightly faster. I go through my feed open several links in different tabs, let them load while I continue down my feed. At some point, Ill go through the tabs I opened, read, close tab and repeat. Basically I avoid the time of sliding animation and page loading times, but I mainly use twitter similar to a rss feed.
Instant Slide Up Review
It's a tough question, but so is: what is just? Like justice value is a possibly unknowable, possibly immeasurable communal platonic. We forged, refined, and sanity check our justice system using a few simple tricks from measurement theory. We ensure that the commonly agreed on axioms are covered (i.e. murder is wrong). We try to reduce several "intuitively agreeable" outcomes into simple rulesets (i.e. possession is 9/10ths of the law). And so on... Yes it's hard and our current system is only an approximation of the communal ideal, but few would want to dismiss law altogether because such measurement systems can do a pretty good job.

Defining value by the workings of the market is simply a circular and technical argument. It's no more useful than defining justice by actual outcomes of court cases. For one thing, markets define value rather simply: a simple majority vote where present and future votes are discounted. It's a pretty good rule with the nice feature that it's distributed requiring no central planning, but it is not magic and does have some less than desirable corner cases such as, say, the state of everyone at the lower end of the bell curve in western countries for the last four or five years.
They also tried it in the American South as part of Jim Crow: "literacy" tests that were hard for anyone to pass, with grandfather clauses so that all of the illiterate whites could keep voting (in fact, that's where the term "grandfather clause" comes from).

The problem with the term "moron" is that it is too easily applied to mean, "people who I don't think should be allowed to vote, no matter how intelligent they might actually be."
1. As another poster already said, "Readability and typography is not something someone who color grades deals with." EVEN IF I were to accept that this is not a tu quoque argument, the two skills are completely different. I am personally a web designer, and I have no basis or knowledge to comment on color grading in films. None.

Nevertheless, it's a moot point because...

2. I believe the original poster's comment, "physician, heal thyself" is a reference to a person (in this case, the author), and not to a position.

Can I make this any plainer?

I don't really see those for profit colleges as true higher education. Most of the degrees are for a semi-highly skilled technician that usually doesn't require some sort of bar or licensure exam rather than a white collar job(eg paralegal instead of lawyer, physician assistant instead of nurse or doctor, or computer technician instead or low-end programmer instead of computer scientist). Yes the for-profit colleges are above trade schools, but for the above reason, I don't think they qualify as true higher education.
If that's the case, it could be that a "substantial move" indicative of this migrant opportunity-seeking mentality doesn't require immigration or the crossing of nation-state boundaries at all. I wonder if there's another way to phrase this to include someone uprooting themselves from the American east coast and moving to California, for example.

Similarly there are parts of the world where crossing a border to live is nearly as easy (e.g. within the EU). What's the barrier you're trying to measure? Leaving familiar people/surroundings?

[Edit - added EU example and question]

I've used the HP Touchpad for a week now and I have to disagree with his claim that the ergonomics are better. OSHA says that screens should be at eye level. If you're sitting up straight, there's no way a tablet will be at that level. Tablets requires the user to be looking down at his lap constantly.

And if you're not sitting up straight, then your back will complain bitterly, if not now, then a few years later.
"However, pseudoY() is not a fixed-point combinator'".
This is really cool, and it sounds like a great thing to try for important projects. I just wanted to get more detail on something.

People who report bugs usually care more about feeling respected than getting every possible dollar from you. ... I awarded two very similar bugs from the same reporter $10 and $50 respectively

Where does this assertion about respect come from? How do you know this? Did people come out and say it? Did their interest in continuing to look for bugs rise, fall, or stay the same as a result of the consistent explanations? Do you have actual quotes from the reporters?

I was just curious if this is speculation because it is very easy for us to make the fallacy of assuming someone else thinks the way we do, that their reason for doing something would be the same as what we think would be the reason. I want to believe the assertion, but since it is a generalization, I am skeptical.
gVim is hard; I just want to type ctrl-v to enter blockwise Visual mode.

I normally use vim on the command line, but a lot of my coworkers use gVim on Windows. Whenever I try to help one of them out, I can't stand the fact that ctrl-v is remapped to paste by default. I recently found out how to make gVim sane again. In _vimrc, comment-out the following lines:
