Ask HN: Is there other software similar to Vim and Emacs?
I'm looking for software that is powerful, understandable, hackable, extensible, reliable, future-proof (few breaking updates) and feature-rich.

The two tools I've found so far that come close to this are TiddlyWiki (notetaking) and Vim/Emacs (same text editor niche). TiddlyWiki loses some points on hackability because it's web technology and fairly sandboxed. Vim/Emacs are only for text, obviously. I think what these tools have in common is that they all have a strong core idea (Vim: modal, TiddlyWiki: a quine of tiddlers, Emacs: elisp) that provides insane feature breadth at relatively low cost to learnability.

Other software is usually on a spectrum of low feature count (most tools in the UNIX philosophy) to low understandability (IDEs, most other text editors, all OSes). Then a few rare ones are extremely powerful, but so old and poorly designed that I don't think they make the cut (e.g. Bash in my opinion).

Are there other tools similar to Vim, that maybe even cover other application areas? Doesn't have to be terminal-based. I'd love to hear your opinions!

IMO the Russian invasion is as much about controlling the oil & gas under Ukraine’s wheat fields, as it is about restoring old Soviet territory.
Cancer is just one disease among many, making life worth living is a higher priority so that even those who die from cancer enjoy their time on this planet. Curing cancer might not mean much if the elderly are lonely and have nothing to look forward to.
I don't think these sorts of tools will ever be used to generate a novel or something on that scale. We're building really sexy autocomplete tools that creators will use to fill in the blanks much like the great masters of the renaissance used apprentices to do much of the work in their masterpieces. People will outline what they want, then ask the AI to fill in the blanks, and iteratively refine the result.

As long as we can miniaturize the models sufficiently that individuals and small companies can get output that's comparable to what big corporations with deep pockets can get, these sorts of AI tools have the potential to revolutionize creativity.

> If you have a number element on your form, people will accidentally mangle their own inputs, because the value in such an element silently changes when you use the mouse wheel.

Yeah this can happen if you're dispatching scroll events to all descendants. but typically it is not an issue if you haven't messed with how the browser scrolls with JS.

What platforms does this happen to your users on?

My anecdote is that I've used numeric fields in all sorts of situations and have never ran into this outside of scroll-hijacked sites. I tend to respect the browser's implementation of the input types and find that they're fully functional - especially in 2022.
That may very well be true - but they won't go to great (or any, really) lengths to make users' lives easier unless they see a competitive advantage in doing so, or are forced by (threat of) regulation.

> There's still this lurking mess of RSS 0.91 vs 1.0 vs 2.0 vs Atom.

Maybe in theory, but as a heavy RSS user this has never been an issue in practice. For example, WordPress sites support both by default — RSS at /feed/, Atom at /feed/atom/, but apps like Feedly hide this implementation plumbing during normal use.
Sure the WINNERS are exceptional. They would be in any competition. The great part is that just preparing (practicing) makes people stronger problem solvers. Which is not the case in typical maths schoolwork.

To echo the parent, though: the school is NOT bragging about success on AMC contests. Probably because they do not have it.

Similar prep with a strong group of incoming students does work to produce successful AMC and AIME results, I can attest.
So...they didn't think the law should apply so they just decided to ignore it?

> Whats the point in doing things if the AI can do it better than you ?

If doing something makes you happy, that can be reason enough for doing a thing. A huge portion of people already engage in "useless" hobbies with no meaningful external outputs. And in the vast portion of those situations, experts and/or machines already exist that can do far better than a hobbyist. Yet people still have hobbies, because hobbies are fun!

Ultimately one's purpose in life can only really be defined by oneself. As human cognition/capability is increasingly shown to be wholly unremarkable, I expect more and more people to turn to lives of leisure, indulgence and self-fulfillment.

This is all contingent on AI being harnessed for our collective benefit, instead of the egos of a select few. That's the facet of AI development that keeps me up at night. AI, AGI, and eventually ASI will be human-intent amplifiers of a magnitude barely conceivable by most. There is no steady-state where things remain as they are today. We are going to either end up with a utopia, or one of a myriad of possible dystopias.
Is it possible that Podcasts are the last remaining widespread/mainstream use case of RSS?
Exactly, they should have reached out to the closed public libraries and come to an agreement where they lent out digital copies 1:1 of copies owned by closed libraries. It would have been an incredible initiative that could have become sustainable well past the pandemic.
The impossibility to measure such a thing, at least within the modest means of the publication issuing the award, should be the clue telling you something is wrong.

> Just saying: The threat facing middle-age men is loneliness (as the article states), not lack of male friends per-se. I fit the description of the men in the article, but I am not lonely now. Perhaps, in a few years, I will realize that my priorities change, that I am lonely then, and I will resent my 30s self for allowing so few male friendships to grow and flourish.

I was like that, as well, and am roughly at the same point in life - I turned 40 this year, and was happy with my life with my wife and daughter. I would also have told you I had “a few” male friends I talked to “a few times a year”.

Things changed for me, rather abruptly at the start of the year, when my wife decided she was capital-U-unhappy, and that the best way to deal with that was start a relationship with another man. In addition to the swirl of emotions I had to deal with, suddenly and unexpectedly, I quickly found out that I really didn’t have any close friends left, and had basically nobody to talk to about what I was going through. And, that I had nobody to blame but myself for at least that part of the situation I found myself in.

My point is not that my situation is typical, or that anything like what I described will happen to you (or anyone else reading this,) but that I found out just how important friendships were when I needed them, and didn’t have them. So, I’ve spent the last few months treating my lack of social interaction like the emergency it is, and I strongly encourage others to do the same. Hopefully, it will just make a person’s life more fulfilling. At the margins, it might keep you sane in a very difficult situation.
I find it valuable. My blog (sledgeworx.io) started in part as a place for me to add documentation for technical solutions where the answer wasn't already available on stack overflow. It's very handy when somebody on the team asks "How do I do x" and I can send them a link to my blog with exactly how I want them to do x.

I also use it as a bit of a release valve for frustrations I have with the way things often times work poorly in the software world.

I think reality is that there is minimum you can pay for a worker. And there is only so much you can get out of single worker over longer period. Clearly they have overshoot the later and it will eventually bite them.

Main issue is that from numbers perspective only the throughput matters. Not if it is in general sustainable in long run.
Hum... The point of the entire form-builder is to bring more flexibility by using a more powerful "No Code Rules Engine".

Given the logical absurd built on the name of the thing, I really don't think this is a goal that will bring good results. It will not generalize at all. (What is also evidenced by the fact that there are more than 200 of those around, and none solves the very common problem the author has.)

And yes, that comes from framing the solution along that phrase.
> but once you start to get into actually-good private school territory

This just isn't true of the SF Bay Area. When you look at the very top, like Harker, Nueva, etc-- salary may slightly edge above public school pay for some portions of the scale, but is still behind when you consider total comp.

> appreciation (and to a some extent social status, at least within a certain circle)

I feel appreciated and valued by our parent community, and I do not feel like there are many that look down their nose at me. (And, given my background, I'm just kinda amused by the group that do).

I also have total "easy mode" when it comes to behavior management. Students that don't even know me come into the room predisposed to think I have important things to say and to work hard.

> A very high percentage of private schools are not good, though

Oh, believe me, I know about the crummy sectarian schools, and the crummy for-profit "highly academic" academies. I am not talking about that. (I don't think many of these are very good teaching environments, either...)

> private schools are less beholden to any one parent than public schools are

This is very complicated and probably out of scope for this discussion.

> and are much better positioned to firmly tell them "no"

Once you have a wait list, this is true.
It can apply patterns learned in different contexts to new contexts, which has the potential to create things that are unique in a sense.
One theory is that the abundance of slave labour disincentivised any real push towards automation. That said, they did have massive water mill complexes for grinding grain.
To my understanding (haven't yet read the paper, just the abstract) - most full-disk encryption schemes are implemented in OS as opposed to in-hardware, so if the attacker has deep access to the system they could probably find a way to write unencrypted data to disk? That may not work inside a VM though
The Old Testament nearly didn't make it into the Bible at all. It seems that a lot of Christians have decided that the Bible as put together hundreds of years after Christ needs to be taken as a homogeneous whole and that it needs to be considered as infallible. None of that makes much sense unless you are trying to fit in to someone else's definition of what being a Christian is.

I am far from convinced that the two (different) accounts of the creation story in Genesis were meant to be taken as absolute fact. Them being true or false has absolutely no impact on my Christian beliefs. Why would it?
Procrastination delegates decisions from you to circumstance.
indentation matters (left and right) if that's a problem
Nothing is perfect but I think in the majority of cases it'll work as well as a trustable third party but without requiring one. If someone with much more money wants to screw people over at least they'll be paying a non-nominal amount. For bigger items that kind of attack would get expensive quickly.

The amount of collateral is configurable by sellers, and since buyers will soon be able to message sellers that means it's negotiable.
I'm starting to realize that I never loved writing, but that the more I do it, the clearer my mind feels. It's something to do with getting ideas out of my mind so they stop bouncing around. Ironically, I find I like writing more now that I only write about things that interest me. I think school f*cked me up there.

So, I'm writing loosely and when I remember too. Eventually I will have enough to piece together a few blog posts and imagine more momentum will build from there. So I guess the key is patience.

It's really hard to understand how much work goes into blogs when you just see a bunch of finished products that people have poured into. But I think it's worth it for the cathartic, mind-clearing effects I have described.

The quote in question is not the crazytown that the headlines all suggest.

Probably they were suggesting trans men aren't men, since the story is so recent.
Uber in SE Asia mostly lost their game to Grab and Gojek, the premier local competitors. They fare quite well, even now. Especially in Singapore, where ridershare services allow many car owners to recoup a part of the extremely high costs of owning a car there.

Not to forget that you need also quite substantial inventory. The stuff might not be perishable, but still you need to tie up capital in it. And you can't have too little either when there is demand spikes you can't fulfil orders or customers won't come back when you can't supply stuff.

I would explain the repeated observation about lack of clear information on specific criteria as explicit policy choice that matches the explicit policy choice on many other complicated healthcare aspects in those countries - essentially, that you will get all kinds of weird edge cases that should get evaluated individually case-by-case; and that this determination should be done by a doctor (or a panel of doctors) and the patient, not be prescribed and enforced by the legal system.
I have had a blog for many years now but I rarely treat it as a way to market myself or gain anything from it except the fact that I can go back and look at something I was working on.
