I won't lie, it's a painful first few days. It feels slow because you have to look up every little thing you want to do and mentally translate what you want to happen into these new strange keystrokes. Really, it's all about your frame of mind. If you go expecting to hit the ground running you're going to be frustrated. But if you come from the place where you know you're going to go slow and you're just going to do it anyway for a couple/few weeks then you'll have a much better time.

One thing I think is important is to not overwhelm yourself. You'll want to do all these cool things but you'll never remember the nifty commands if you don't even know the basic ones. Just use it for a week or two with just basic cursor movement, cut/copy/paste, saving and quitting. It'll feel like "nano" but with worse keys. Maybe learn isearch after couple days, and query-replace after a week or so. Seriously, don't even think about "buffers" for the first couple weeks. Emacs has so many features and editing commands that you're guaranteed to get overwhelmed if you try to take everything in all at once.

It also really helps to be in close proximity to someone who uses emacs so that you can ask questions as they arise.
The article leaves out the most important aspect of Norwegian society: the distribution of wealth is fairly even. The difference between the affluent and less affluent is fairly small.
Show HN : My (current) Weekend Project - I am, I do
Hi HN,

This weekend I'm at a hackday and the theme is 'dreams', My dream is to get people working on what they love and find inspiration, I find my inspiration in the people around me and the people doing what I want to do, so we asked 30 friends 6 questions each and put the results online, we've had an amazing response with some really thoughtful answers and now we've opened it up to everyone, we've got about 3 hours left before we have to present the hack and I'd love to reach 100 responses (we currently have 50).

It uses twitter bootstrap as a default and I know that HN is getting a bit sick of it but it makes knocking up something quickly so easy and for hackdays I really thing it's perfect.

We've got about 4 features to implement as well so I'll be checking back whilst we code :)

Yep, a short list of useful one-liners would go a long way. Often, your use-case will be a straight specialisation of one of the examples, and if not, chances are you can cobble together something from several examples. I'd like to have a auxiliary help command for this, e.g. example ffmpeg in addition to man ffmpeg (another 18k words manpage).

Edit: This works rather well:

function cmdfu() {
curl "http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/matching/$@/$(echo -n $@ | openssl base64)/plaintext" --silent | sed "s/\(^#.*\)/\x1b[32m\1\x1b[0m/g"
}

I code in Perl at my day job, and I still use awk and grep. Sometimes it's quicker to do it in awk than perl, especially when you're doing it in command line and have to figure out quotes.

awk -F, '{print $3}' foo | xargs -I{} echo 'command -x -y -z {}'

perl -e 'open F, "<foo"; while(<F>) { my($a,$b,$c,@rest) =split /,/; system("command -x -y -z $c"); }'

I think I could do the split into an array and then take the third element, but I'm just trying to do an elementary example. When you want to do more things to this argument you necessarily have to grow this, and at one point I got to the point where I started having to escape quotes. That's rather difficult to read when you're just trying to do something quick in the command line and you mismatch a pair.

Exactly. How many Dell-like companies have we seen die off over the last fifteen years because they were stuck in their ways. The PC companies that have survived are those that made it in to services work - HP, IBM, Dell. Oracle has worked hard to get into the sector.

I like being able to easily write my own functionality. It would take weeks to do on Eclipse what I can do in a leisurely afternoon on Emacs.

Agreed. My most successful blogs over the years started initially with pretty low quality, high throughput "just stuff I want to post" stuff. Then eventually they became higher quality (and more difficult to post to). It seems like a good process, rather than just expecting to write high quality stuff out of the gate.
In my .bashrc I have:

export ALTERNATE_EDITOR=''
alias e='emacsclient -t'

Now

$ e file.txt

will fire up emacsclient to connect to a running emacs daemon. If there is no emacs daemon running it will start one for you and then connect to it.

You can

export VISUAL="emacsclient -t"
export EDITOR='emacsclient -t'

for good measure if you like.

The whole Java configuration hell stereo-type is kind of getting old. Its really not true anymore (have a look at the play framework). Although I do agree Java is verbose and you defiantly need an IDE to edit it that doesn't mean other less verbose languages could not benefit from an IDE.

If you really want to play the Ivory Tower of condescension you need to attack the army of PHP programmers and there love of string manipulation of SQL statements.
but why ? if it is lack of maths, then you can work through derivations etc by following Christopher bishop's excellent 'neural network for pattern recognition'. for me though, the balance between theory and practice is just right.

Although sort(1) handles this for you as you mention, the general problem in the shell of wanting to overwrite your input file with the output file, but not being able to redirect to it for the reason you mention, is solved with sponge. Rather than:

$ grep "foo" bar.txt >baz.txt; mv baz.txt bar.txt

instead:

$ grep "foo" bar.txt | sponge bar.txt

My problem is that the test assumed that all answers were binary. You either do it or you don't but they didn't consider that context matters. Sometimes you don't enjoy others company. Sometimes you do.

Sometimes you enjoy meeting people, sometimes you don't. I enjoy meeting interesting people. Most people are just stupid clones that you can more or less predict completely just by knowing 5 facts about them.

The test seems designed to get inflated scores.

I mean this to be evidence against a genetic explanation of under representation.

It is evidence against such an explanation, but it's very weak evidence. It shows other factors are involved, which no one disputes, but it does not rule out genetics as a factor.

Incidentally, your Q&A argument is incomplete. We have data which shows accent is not genetic - correlation between the accent of genetic parent and child is gone if you look at adopted children. If there is a twin study on the topic, I'd give 1/p value of the study odds that identical twins raised apart have minimal correlation of accent.

In contrast, identical twins raised apart have a 75% correlation in intelligence and adoptees have a 25% correlation with genetic parents. (I'm working from memory here since I don't have the book with me. The numbers are far from zero, but might be 70% and 20% or 80% and 30%. http://www.amazon.com/Genome-Autobiography-Species-23-Chapte... )

The source you cite is simply being dishonest by leaving this part of the dialogue out of his conversation with a straw man.

Also, your source has a very different philosophical basis for knowledge than most people. He believes that aggregate quantities (e.g., pressure, temperature, possibly g) are statistical myths. See here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2210600 , which is a response to http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/weblog/523.html (which he cites in the article you link to).

Private roads are very, very difficult to build in modern America. The biggest issue is that people traveling on a private road are not allowed by the government to sign away their right to sue, and the liability for the private road operator is enormous.

Other issues are the thicket of regional planning regulations. There's really not truly private property any more, roadbuilding of any type is subject to the state and local political process.

Instead of kill -9 (a nuke), you can often get results with just kill, kill -INT or kill -HUP. (The advantage is that the "weaker" signals allow your runaway program to do some cleanup, but kill -9 doesn't.)

Webkit is a fork of KHTML. Linux was a kernel that the GNU project added well after both projects were underway.
What I usually do in that situation is Ctrl + u (delete all the way back to the start of the line), then type the intermediate command, then Ctrl + y (place the deleted partial line back on the prompt, with my cursor at the end where it was).

This assume Emacs-style bindings for the shell.
And the best part is, this sort of "visual math" is applicable to every single field of mathematics; by visualizing every equation you come across, you'll find that you eventually gain a crisp (and often intuitive) understanding of the math.

Not every math field uses equations, and most of those that do, use equation, where terms are very far from being ordinary (integer, real, complex) numbers, and picturing a rectangle when you have xy will only mislead you. For instance, sometimes xy is not equal to yx, sometimes x and y are not 0, but xy is 0.

Of course, there are other ways to employ visual intuition to gain better understanding of the problem -- for instance, if our multiplication comes from group structure, we can imagine an object the symmetries of which are group elements. Nevertheless, the history of mathematics teaches us that the greatest thing started to happen when we ditched our geometric and intuitive understanding of math and turned to more formal ways. I'm certainly happy to see a geometric interpretation of some definition, theorem, or proof, but I'm more interested in logical argumentation than appealing to intuition.

Ask HN: Negotiation help, HR dance
Accepted first job out of college w/o negotiation. Stupid. Even though it's a job and living somewhat comfortably, I feel burned. New opportunity in lap. Will require detox from current job. Innovation, hard work, stimulation. Sweet.

A few questions...

1) Remain lips sealed until they make an offer, then negotiate upwards? or, be first to state a number that is higher (current salary + raise, market research, etc.), then prevent downwards negotiation?

One part of me wants to walk in w/ straight face and state current salary + 40%. Sick of jr. compensation and jr. responsibilities. Need some real work...

2) What to pay attention to for RSUs, stock, vesting...?

3) How common is it to negotiate raises and bonuses?

4) How to milk a sign-on bonus?
For me it's the other way around. I grew up in Mexico, now working & living in Berlin, but I'd like to travel north and if possible stay for a time in Norway.

Beautiful. Simple, does what it does, clean layout. Really nice.

To me, this article perfectly captures what is wrong with legal education: students are plunking down $150,000 @ ~8.0% to learn how to support themselves practicing law, and in exchange they get three years of abstract classroom lecturing. Add into the equation documented outright fraud in employment statistics reporting on the part of law schools and you have what is legitimately a scam going on. Best of all, there's no return policy for JDs. Not even bankruptcy.

This isn't just law school related. This applies to every type of college and education system, with few exceptions.

The college system does not teach practicality by design.

To do that would remove a great deal of profit...

Instead of raking in 4-5 years worth of tuition, they would only get 1-2 years.

Instead of hiring teachers that can't-do, they would need to find teachers that can-do.

Instead of keeping people pre-occupied and enrolled with bullshit curriculum that keeps you going nowhere and seeing-nothing, they would lose students as soon as those students decided this type of job was not for them (rarely anyone knows what they want to do at this age).

The college system is sold to us on the premises that 1) you'll be trained for the job that 2) you will most certainly be getting right after the degree is awarded. Neither of these things is true.

I've been there. It was not worth it at all. While there are a few exceptions, people mostly play on their egos with degrees and such. There is nothing quite as useless as a new college graduate that thinks he has value.
