I am using it daily, as my sole editor, for a little more than a year now. Before that I used Neovim. Most important reasons for the switch are:

* Leaves window management to the window manager, so it works much better with a tiling wm. I wish all applications did this.

* Selecting first and then specifying an action works way better than the other way around, as it is done in the Vim family.

Edit: regarding the comments and Vim's visual mode, you are right. I like to change my second bullet to "Does not have too many modes, like the Vim family."

I'm not really sure how bare metal on EC2 is "not accessible" or "second-class," but I could barely understand your landing page because the design is so bad.

It's hard to read (text-on-text, low-contrast in certain places, clashing colors) -- so much so that I just scrolled down in a daze until I reached the end of the page without actually processing any of it.
>> And with more entitlements

With more money in some cases and less in others. Entitlements, that’s far too broad an umbrella.

What exactly would you be entitled to beyond sufficient money to make a basic living and pursue the free pleasures in life (which are generally among the best available in life).

What’s more fulfilling, spending $130k to ride the vomit comet for a couple of hours - i say this as someone who would LOVE to do that - or hiking to the top of a local mountain with a loved one to watch a sunrise? Vomit comet is COOL but it’s not fulfilling. Not in the meaningful way that time spent with a loved one enjoying the beauty of life is.

But back to the entitlements - why is a teacher going to agree to teach an unruly kid? They don’t need this job. They’re here because it’s a passion in life, they’ve chosen a career not of necessity but of interest.
All of the direct and indirect perpetrators. Sexual misconduct is devastating for the victims. Covering it up is part of the problem.
Discard the last sentence. You're talking in absolute terms and that's leading nowhere. It's been some time, but this is what came to my mind immediately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuggerei

That you can not rely on the rich to put their money in good use with the general public in mind is right. Does it happen? Yes. Does it happen often? Definitely not.
As I said above already, hospitalization stats for Omicron don't mean anything. In the UK more than half of all "hospitalized" Omicron cases caught it in hospital and of those, most are asymptomatic.

Yes, people can catch infectious bugs like colds and flu-like illnesses in hospital. It's a building full of sick people, it happens. That doesn't mean there's a crisis in the population.
Alomost perfect tool! Please add support for Markdown tables.
All this guide shows is an Interface Builder, basically. Either you use one of these, or walk through a boring process of setting up controls and their properties and their bindings in code. Eventually IB just interferes or breaks your layouts, but at this time you have a good visual idea of its workings. This is a good thing, even if you're a senior newcomer. What they've got wrong is that IB is not a tool, but only a tutorial.
First thoughts: the JSON subproject seems to be very unprincipled. The documentation documents general usage through a few examples, but it doesn't really give you a good idea of the semantics of the library. It appears to scan your objects using reflection for things that it determines to be fields (what are the criteria?), but for some reason does not serialize collection types by default because "This plays well with some 3rd party libraries (like ORM) where collections represent lazy relationships". The library is configured by modifying the state of global objects which is just a disaster waiting to happen.

At least in the United States, patent trolls are professional lawyers who can serve paperwork for nearly free, have done this thousands of times, and in many cases are good friends with the judge.

In the US, anyone can sue anyone, and it costs money to fight even frivolous claims. It is one of the major reasons that if you were to look at the professions of 99% of home owners in upper middle class areas, they are laborers at large corporations.
Which they basically circumvent, by using a language where a reference which is just good and not extremely good means it's a bad reference.
The experiment is flawed and doesn't prove anything either way.

There's no way[1] to know that whatever landscape they tried this on doesn't have a subtle upward curve that might just as easily "prove" the flat earth hypothesis.

It's amusing in the context of that documentary because they do a 180 in real time because of the results they get. But just because the experiment showed the correct result doesn't mean it's well designed.

1. No way that a flat earther wouldn't dismiss, there's no way they'll trust say a USGS survey.

> Spring documentation is and has always been poor and the sheer volume of outdated documentation

Spring documentation is excellent. I had to learn Spring as a PHP developer, so I put the documentation onto a Kindle and read it. It's also versioned, so you don't need to read out of date versions:

https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/

> This is different to eg DropWizard where you actually boot the app (no different to how it does in a real env ie no "test application context") and make real http requests to it. (not some watered down fake Spring HTTP test requests)

Spring Boot allows you to write full application tests that will boot it up on a random port with the @SpringBootTest annotation, as is covered by the excellent documentation

https://spring.io/guides/gs/testing-web/

> Add in the horribly, horribly ingrained, unidiomatic ways people use Spring (eg sprinkling field autowiring all over the place instead of instead of using constructor injection)

You can use whichever.

> anyone who uses any other framework is just stubborn and wrong.

Not at all. Spring Boot is just a great solution, that's all. It's got strong support from a company, lots of documentation and first class support for testing. It also allows you to easily swap out different underlying technology, eg. you can switch from Jetty or Tomcat, Liquibase to Flyway.

It's a disservice to persuade businesses to use smaller projects that don't have a comparable level of support, or flexibility.
You can use things like arxivsorter and benty-fields for this. You give them a list of papers you've published, or authors you are interested in and then get recommendations. The recommendations can be up and down voted to improve future recommendations.
> Somebody found this useful. Would you have preferred that this person didn't do any of this at all?

The usual conversation starters about emacs go "oh you have Spacemacs, you have EVil, you have plugin X, Y, Z, etc, etc"

Whereas with other editors the focus is on improving the core experience

Plugins are great, sure, but there seems to be an excessive focus on it and most plugins just don't give you the same experience.

I saw this mention of self-driving cars a couple of times in these comments. I'm pretty sure you don't want your self driving technology to rely on 5G connection, otherwise a sudden unexpected drop in connection quality (an antenna down for maintenance, an unmapped tunnel, an exceptionally crowded area due to a demonstration with lots of people streaming video, etc.) would also reduce the quality of transmission and maybe make the connection just impossible. What would happen in that case?

I think a "local" network-free source of computing is unavoidable, and once it is available, I just don't see the point of setting up a complicated (and error-prone) infrastructure to make computations remotely when it is available and fall back on-the-fly when not. Given the amount of regulation this kind of things have to comply to, and how error-proof they must be, I wouldn't think anybody would be happy with this cascade approach...

I do a similar thing, but the papers I'm interested in are usually a bit too niche for a general audience. That's one of the things I don't like about academic papers, particularly in my field (astro), we don't tailor our abstracts and introductions to a wider audience.

There’s also the movement of underground houses. They use the ground for cooling in summer and for insulation in winter. Also it apparently makes for great noise reduction, in spite of having lots of windows, light and views.

See the book “Recovering America: A More Gentle Way to Build”.
From the title, I thought all posts are available only for 24 hours. I have been using ephemeral messages on Signal over the last year, and I don't miss the conversation history at all. It'd be nice to see the same concept on social networking sites as well.
Looks good.
On other suggestion I thought of, would be to put a QR code on the hosting screen.

I was thinking it would be easier to use for a pub quiz/conference as it removes the need to enter the url. Host puts up their screen on a projector, participants scan from their phones if they want to join. Could also use the host screen to show how many people have joined and spash up their names as they do.
> Problem is in this that default behavior is "we are not paying for tools"

The problem is if the person wants to get paid, then they need to use licensing that is more restrictive and sets the expectations for eventual payment. The MIT license is a "do whatever you want with my code as long as you don't sue for inadvertent mistakes" license. No one else is at fault for that license except for Marak. The expectation of doing what you want based on the license is inline with behavior. If he wanted to change behavior, he just has to change the license or don't go open source. You can't have your cake and eat it too ie. you can't have open source's viralness and expect everyone to pay. If you want a near guarantee that people will pay for your work when they use it, don't go open source. Open source is not about getting paid.

> You are mentioning several ways how this guy was able to collect money, yep, but again changing license would mean that somebody else will fork previous version and thats all.

Since we're on this subject, I'm going to remind you that Marak didn't come up with faker on his own. He ported it and maybe even the data from a ruby project that was also called faker. To my knowledge, he hasn't shared any of the monetary contributions to his project with the people maintaining the ruby version of faker.

If his software is so simple that someone can just fork it and gain an audience, then maybe it's too simple to replicate and too much of a commodity; but as I've already pointed out SugarCRM successfully transitioned to closed source and I believe redis has successfully transition to a more restrictive license. Neither of them messed with other people's projects. There's no excuse for the bullshit that Marak pulled. Zero. Changing the license is more simple than adding an infinite loop to waste CPU cycles.

> which at the start was cool and funny, but later becomes burden.

I've already written this, but most people just walk away instead of doing something malicious.
Boop is hardly a millennial word. I’m pretty happy using it and my hair is going grey. Also it has an onomatopoeic feel to it that evokes a specific kind of contact that is otherwise hard to describe without using more words.

It’s a perfectly cromulent word according to the Oxford English Dictionary, dating back to the 80s and likely derived from “bop”. They also have the word cromulent.
Your statement doesn't align with reality, so I'll assume you're stating an opinion rather than a fact. Free speech is an inalienable right protected by the First Amendment and afforded to both individuals and businesses, that is a fact.
Based on the current sample size of one life bearing planet, DNA/RNA is the most durable example we have that produces results at this time. As soon as a second nucleotide is discovered as functional, this will be up for discussion.
The arxiv is a treasure, and such preprint servers not only streamline the academic debate but are also a necessary first step towards a future without for-profit academic publishers.

The arxiv moderators are like human spam filters. And as anyone who dealt with email should know, spam filters are essential for a platform to remain useful. I think the article puts undue emphasis on the few edge cases that invariably arise with any such filtering system.

And being a moderator is a thankless job indeed. The efforts of a moderator are largely focused on the absolute worst papers, and the job is therefore very different from being a referee or editor of a reasonable academic journal. So personally I would also focus elsewhere any efforts at increasing diversity in academic institutions.

For reference, the original Mac was 512x342, monochrome: 21,888 bytes. It had 128K RAM total, including that. It was essential for programs to rely on code in the ROM so as not to waste precious RAM. Running your program and also the "Finder" (desktop) at the same time was novel.

It did overlapping windows, and the program was expected to re-draw the part exposed if you moved one.

The 512k version, or "Fat Mac" came out soon after, and was actually useful.
Bit misleading, parameters here are already obtained - the only lisp part is applying pre-obtained weights to an input and computing the output (i.e. no training here).

That aside, this is very cool nevertheless.

You're taking the example too literally. The point is that using the motion first gives opens the possibility of visually confirming what the action will be taken on. The usefulness of that improves when the motion is complex. But nothing forces you to confirm, so if you're confident it's right you can immediately follow the motion with the action. That loses you no time compared to Vim.

I've been making Android applications professionally for a decade now, and I'm of the opinion that who ever manages the Play store, it's policies and developer relations should be fired on the spot along with at least the next two levels of management below.

It is frankly a burning dumpster fire.

I still don't see why the app is not on any of the other app stores that the author mentions though (only rages about Play and thus the app is only there?)

The scientists probably get paid mediocre salaries to work on something adjacent and more useful, and their Prof seized the PR opportunity and ordered them to do it and they rolled their eyes and obliged.
This is not about crazy hours. It is accepting bullying from above, insults and demeaning behaviour from the public, horrible working conditions, dangerous practices, no consideration for your family life or sickness or bereavement just to keep your underpaid job. That is what drains people of hope.
Really interesting. I've read about also "foundation insulation skirt" that allows you to create a warmer earth mass under the house.

To be honest this was the biggest "complaint" that others had in regards of how a built the house, the general knowledge says that the earth is warm and you don't need to insulate against it... but the earth is maybe 5-10 degree, of course warmer than outside -5..-10 but still a lot colder than what we want inside the house, 20,21 degree C.
For most here, this will be familiar, but what this is affecting is the radar altimeter.

You've probably seen the videos where the system will do an audio countdown "100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, retard, retard" [Airbus].

That system is critically important in zero-vis triple-autopilot landings. You don't want cell phones screwing that phase up.

It has become standard (at least outside of tech) for companies to only confirm dates of employees, without further comment on a (former) employee's tenure.

The goal is generally to avoid litigation in the event that any such comments could be construed as libel or as interfering with the employee's future employment...and with good reason, since a lawsuit over a negative reference for anything other than a for-cause termination (such as sexual harassment) is generally very costly to defend against even if the former employer would win on the merits.
I've been going by foot, metro and bike for over 10 years in the European 2 million city where I live, and I still get lamentably lost when trying to connect two points I should know for the first time.
> Since then all analysis has validated the booster strategy, even in individuals who previously had COVID.

No, it hasn't. Just a week ago:

https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/vaccine-effectivenes...

Vaccine efficacy for 3rd dose, out of Ontario, is somewhere in the 30-40% range. In Denmark, secondary attack rate for 3 doses is essentially equivalent to being unvaccinated. This is the latest data we have.

In the UK, December 28, 2021:

> efficacy of a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine waned significantly at the 10-week mark, leaving boosted individuals at risk of infection with Omicron....In a December 23 U.K. Health Security Agency (HSA) technical briefing, vaccine efficacy against symptomatic infection generally fell to around 40% some 2.5 months after a booster dose.

https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/9641...

Also from the UK (January 6, 2022): vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection, 2-4 weeks after dose 3, is essentially equivalent to effectiveness after dose 2:

https://twitter.com/PaulMainwood/status/1481220965539500032

Denmark again, January 5, 2022:

> data just released from Denmark (where 85% of infections are omicron) show no effect of the booster against being infected and no difference between 2 and 3 doses against severe disease except 3 doses better against severe disease for those >70.

https://twitter.com/TracyBethHoeg/status/1478853178699354112

The overall picture is of a vaccine that is temporarily elevating antibody levels, which then decline rapidly. But this isn't unexpected. It's exactly what we thought would happen. Moderna CEO, January 6, 2022:

> Bancel said the efficacy of boosters will probably decline over the course of several months, similar to what happened with the first two doses.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/06/moderna-ceo-says-people-may-...

...but don't worry! Because the good news is that we have really solid data that after only two doses, even high-risk people remain well-protected against severe disease:

> Among 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination during December 2020–October 2021, severe COVID-19–associated outcomes (0.015%) or death (0.0033%) were rare. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age ≥65 years, immunosuppressed, and six other underlying conditions. All persons with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor; 78% of persons who died had at least four.

> Helix is built in Rust. Kakoune is built in C++. I've encountered the occasional segfault in Kakoune and I would guess that these would be rarer in Helix simply because Rust makes it easy to write "safer" code by default

No segfaults, but Helix is definitely somewhat buggy at the moment, especially on Windows. Panics make it relatively easy to debug though.
I see, but it is actually risky business, what if the "crazy" guy stops raising offers (for whatever reasons, let's say because he is struck by a lightning) and you win the auction with a bid of - say - 2,400,000 dollars?

I don't know how exactly offerers are "checked" or "validated" by Christie's in these kind of auctions, but there should be some process of some kind - particularly for telephone bidders - of checking identity and financial capabilities.

Or anyone can offer crazy amounts of money and then retire the offer without consequences?

I recently discovered that Snowflake has geospatial support, which is handy. I'm not massively familiar with PostGIS but at a glance, I can accomplish a bunch of spatial queries in Snowflake (whereas I figured I'd need to spin up Postgres to make this project work).

To be fair to Snowflake, they make a great product, even if their pricing model is bananas and they want to be Oracle when they grow up.
