I'm happy to have finally gotten comfortable with enough of the movement/editing commands to use them every day for real work. However, I just use Vintage mode in Sublime Text 2 because I like having nice file browsing/tabs and other niceties of Sublime Text 2. Am I missing out on much by not using straight vim?
I don't agree with the downvotes, and you have a point in that statistics cannot prove fraud. But these numbers do provide strong evidence for irregularities.

> - rregions with large number of milinary men

Huh? Does that include Moscow with what was it, 47% for UR? Can you name ONE region where concerted (fair) voting by the military can have a significant impact on the outcome?

In any case, your suggestions do not explain the spikes on "nice" numbers, nor the fact that weighting for precinct size does not make UR voting a bell curve, nor the huge differences in the UR vote across precincts sometimes located in the same building.

> so don't try selling "education" as an investment vehicle to me either.

education can be had for free. lots of ways to gain education for free and/or cheap, relatively fast and flexibly. but you can't restrict yourself to the traditional K-12-college pipeline, those are very costly and rigid in terms of time and money.

> Still, that's mostly an investment of time and effort, not money.

arguably money is fungible with time and energy. somewhat. you can trade and convert between them. if you have tons of money and little free time, that tells you what currency to spend (spend money); if you have little money, but some time/energy, spend time/energy on self-investment instead.
> Presumably there are user tests that show that these apps are straightforward to use.

What exactly makes you think that? And more importantly, if these were backed by real experimentation why don't they agree on their conclusions?

As stated the biggest problem is that they don't provide a consistent model for how developers should build their apps. And that shows, 3rd Party Android apps are far far less consistent than those on iOS.
I always wondered why the majority of larger sites are using external Ad-servers and not a server within their own domain which requires less quirks to deliver and measure ads.
Idea of the day - CPU heated external keyboards
So its winter. Its cold. My external USB keyboard is cold and its not very comfortable...

SIMPLE! Adapt the keyboard cable to have an extra insulated copper cable attached and use the computer CPU heat to warm up the keyboard!

Actually, computers could have an external 'heat pipe' socket, so that a 'standard' insulated copper cable could be plugged in to heat keyboards or even desks etc. When pluggin in, the computer will only use the fan if the cable cooling is not sufficient.

This makes little sense to me.

A partially color-blind artist has no reason to amplify is dimmed color to "correct" his perceptual deficit. His brain is calibrated on his usual input. Even if his perception of (say) red is diminished, an image with the red channel amplified will look more red to him too.

Currently I'm workign through Python Koans, and decided to use Vim. It's good way to pick up new commands cause you do the same tedious editing keystrokes over and over again, prompting you to look up 'so how do I easily _____ in Vim' as you progress.

I disagree with none of your principles except the one that apparently says legal intervention is necessary. The walled gardens are not a secret, people are making the decision to buy these devices knowing they won't be able to do certain things. They do have other reasonable options.

This isn't fraud, and it's not a hidden problem hard for people to grasp. There's no apparent collusion to block new competitors. If the masses conclude it is intolerable, the companies will stop making money and that's the end of it. If not, it shouldn't be illegal in the first place.

Ask HN: Should non-technical entrepreneurs get product management training?
So if you're launching your first startup and your non-technical and you don't know much about product management/development, Is it worth it get some training/courses offered by 280group.com(link below)

Link(agile PM): http://www.280group.com/training/certifications/agile-self-study-course-certification/

I don't know how to code, will product management training help me in different aspects of my business ? I don't have a team yet but I think it would be good idea if I can learn all the basics about product management as a non technical guy before I start my startup, no ?
Yes.

I loved Sublime Text 1, and I really love Sublime Text 2. With the addition of Vintage, Sublime Text is slowly becoming the ultimate answer to the question of which editor to choose.

But Vintage mode is really buggy, and misses a lot of very important features that vim has. There is work being done on it, and it is getting better, but vintage mode does not come close yet to the power of vim. And there are a few bugs that make it hard to get used to some of vim's more powerful features.
I think this is different than stereotyping, though.

One thing is to say "women today ditch startups because of children, so women don't really want to do startups because they'd rather have children instead". This is stereotyping.

Something along the lines of "we want to improve women attendance; today women might not be able to attend at night events because they have children; let's put it on saturday morning and see if it works" is not stereotyping IMO. It's looking at (apparent) causes and try to find a solution to work on them.

Causes don't go away just because you don't want to stereotype. If you want to make a lasting change in the mindset you need to find ways to attract more women, working against what might impede them in today's society. You have to start somewhere, and I think this is a good place to start.

EDIT: typos.
For me, switching to vim means moving my hand to use the mouse less often, which means less stress on my wrist. Of course, if you're typing on the keyboard all day, you still have some risk for RSI, but I find using the keyboard to be much more comfortable than using the mouse.

Plus it's much more productive!

What would you recommend instead of Gmail?

I am just looking for an alternative, but so far, only contender worth evaluating I found is Microsoft's live.com. I want IMAP, then having all my emails online (which means at least 5GB space), and what's crucial to me, grouping emails by conversations so I can read it all at once - most providers fails me here.

What makes lower Manhattan different from downtown Moscow? They're both high density urban areas with population in the millions.

Moscow is older and the architecture may be a bit more forgiving for flying UAV's. Also the aerial photography taken in Moscow seems to be around a river and a park. However, there are plenty of Occupy and other protests plus other events where aerial photography may be interesting going in lots of different places, some more UAV friendly than others.

Also remember that modern gyro stabilized, computer controlled quadrocopter UAVs operate with a centimeter precision indoors, so they ought to be pretty precise outdoors too.
Just because the writer or a few women decided to do a startup or decided not to have children doesn't mean that most women are doing the same thing.

I'm not a fan of tech crunch but their article was more of a general fact based on statistics and biology/nature, it should not be taken as an insult, starting a blog post with STFU won't make your point any more valid.
The colors don't necessarily look identical to him. If you have trouble see in green, and two colors differ by how much green is in them, you might perceive the two colors to be closer together than someone with normal color vision perceives the two colors.

I think that's what you see in a lot of the pictures. Look at the green in the coat in the self-portrait. What appears as distinct lines of green in the normal color version becomes muted in the modified color version and blends in much more with the other colors, but with just enough difference to lend a rich texture to the coat.
The keys I use most are up/down. I tend to move between lines more often than I move between characters. This is true in any editor, but especially in vim, since I almost never move between individual characters, but rather use [w]ord movement commands, or [f] commands, etc.

That's why it makes sense that my strongest fingers are on the up/down motions, whereas to move to the left, a movement I never make, is off to the side.

Also, I wouldn't remap it for practical reasons - hjkl is a standard implemented in many places.

JRebel vs OSGi: Use the right tool for the right job
Often when discussing OSGi at events, conferences or forums, we hear things like, “Yeah, I like JRebel but now we are using OSGi”, or “Does JRebel support OSGi”, or “Isn’t OSGi the same as JRebel?”. Sometimes it happens that people start comparing OSGi to JRebel, which is kind of like comparing a Ferrari to a Skyscaper; thus, this article is designed to a) explain the differences on a technical level what JRebel and OSGi do, b) outline some ideal use cases for OSGi and JRebel c) clear up any grey areas or misconceptions between the two technologies.

A color blind person does not perceive colors dimmer or lighter, but perceives them wrong. So for example, Van Gogh would see a wheat field and pick a color that matched the wheat to paint it, according to what he saw. Turns out that this color would be orange, because to him orange and wheat both looked the same.

As a color blind myself, I see absolutely no difference between the original and the modified images. They are 100% identical to me. So I already see them as Van Gogh did. But if you can see a difference then this proves that this experiment works.

I actually hope this does come to pass, but I don't see it happening any time soon given the current state of affairs. Only a handful of my friends use G+, and they are the web/coder guys. All the social butterflies, the girls, the parties, and the pictures post on Facebook. It seems to me that many of my peers' internet surfing these days consists almost entirely of hanging out on Facebook. They have never heard of reddit, they don't follow blogs, they have no compelling interest in international news or trends, and if they have heard of G+ they consider it irrelevant. I think there is a key demographic of extroverts around which social gatherings coalesce that G+ needs to start making a dent in if they ever want to dethrone Facebook as the social space.

The other thing that concerns me is Google's prior lack of commitment to these types of projects. Facebook did not succeed only because it was better than myspace, I believe it was also due to just how bad myspace became that people started actively looking for an alternative. Remember the terrible auto-start songs, horribly mangled html templates, creepy spam and rampant security flaws? It might be the case that in a few years Facebook will start to implode in much the same way. Too many crappy Zynga games, an increasinly cluttered interface, questionable privacy compromises, a constant battering of status minutia updates and/or some catastrophic privacy event might drive people to begin migration to a new service. That might take years though. My question is, will G+ still be there, ready to accept them with a stable of polished features and seamless integration to the entire Google application lineup? Or will Google have abandoned G+ years ago, the same way it did with Wave and countless other "experiments"...
My question is: how on earth you explain this to your wife?
Maybe I am an exception here, but what author overstates is also user's willingness to have every eggs in the Google's basket. I found myself to consciously working on NOT using Google for everything - I use them for general search, gmail and Analytics. That I think is more than enough. My social graph is on Facebook, bookmarks are on ReadItLater and files are in Dropbox, and I am not going to change it even if Google offering is comparable.

My longterm strategy is to use different companies for different services. It is a slightly bigger hassle than to have everything integrated by one company, but not that a big hassle, after all. My goal for the future is that Google will own only my search strings, and not much else. I would even like to replace Gmail, but didn't find an alternative yet (but live.com looks promising).

Turn your PC around so that the fan is blowing at your fingers.

This idea might actually make sense for laptops, when used on the go in draughty locations.

But your real problem is that your office is too cold. It needs better heating/insulation, or it needs to heat up quicker in the morning. Messing with a desktop keyboard is using the wrong tool for the job.
Different people different experiences. I'm happily using VLC on my Macbook air, and it is pretty close to perfect for me.
Just another data point that's quite happy with this. I only installed an ad blocker after years of happily accepting the advertising because a few sites I didn't want to stop using started running ads that were actively annoying and / or offensive. Most sites aren't a problem though and I'd happily enough see their ads, and a refinement to permit this more easily would be good for me.
I'm kind of an interested dabbler in such brain hacking... one principle I try to follow is to use multiple parts of (that conglomerate called) my mind to learn things. So for example, take programming techniques. Using data-directed programming techniques lets me use the visual parts of my mind more directly... so in Lisp or Javascript, you'd make a pretty datastructure which you'd code plumbing to interpret. Same with drawing pictures to help visualize, such as graphs. (The old _Data and Reality_ mentions we frequently use graphs in representing concepts on the computer, as opposed to in data processing.)

And using a REPL is very interactive, and uses my kinesthetic parts. (Some emacs chords may have that effect too, like paredit's alt-shift-(, which surrounds the next form in a parenthesis bubble.)

Alan Kay mentions the study of like 50 mathematicians, how they thought. Surprisingly few thought in terms of symbols. Most were primarily visual thinkers. Some were also kinesthetic. (To lend credibility, people always mention Einstein was in this last kinesthetic group.)

Another is critical learning. So you try to question why something Is The Way It Is, why someone believes what they believe... (Being confused is a very good sign; explore the confusion. Confusion over very simple things led to revolutions in our knowledge.) This takes you from the role of passive learner to co-creator. (Of course, time is limited, and taking this to its logical extreme would mean you'd do multiple ten-year research projects... Might be great for humanity's knowledge, but few of us have this luxury.)
You want us to "buy your product", and you sincerely believe that if we make the switch, we'll be happier. You've gotten all the early adopters, and all the malcontents. How are you going to attract everyone else who is still living in SF?

This is basic fucking customer development 101. Apparently, your Tech Execs think the answer is:

1) Buy everyone a beer and a taco.

2) Offer less salary because our product is Awesome!

Note: cost of switching for us: Move 1500 miles. Miss friends. Make new friends. Break rent contracts. Find rent contracts. And if we, in fact, do not like your product, we have to switch back again. I don't like AT&T much, but you're asking me to break my contract with them, and sign a contract with you to pay more for the same service because it'll be better quality. And if I don't like it, I'll incur the same costs going back to AT&T.

If this is how you "bright tech folks" in Austin do customer development, well...
Agreed about the overstatement, but I think that is just for the sake of powerful exposition. You have to admit it's quite a compelling vision for Google—something which has been lacking ever since they revolutionized online advertising.

That said, the challenges will be many, not the least of which is how do you organize the user interfaces (plural because of mobile vs web vs other devices) on such a super product and not end up with lukewarm soup.
I think part of the problem is that all new Google apps want to showcase the newest UI elements and themes. As a techie I do enjoy seeing apps with new UX innovations often. Also from developer point of view its good to see what is possible. But on the long run I do understand the value of UI consistency, especially since I started using IPad a while ago.

Putting more effort on their UI guideline pages might help. It seems its not updated recently to include any of the newer UI elements yet. Since their own apps are using them they should be good enough for the guidelines: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/i...
Well, this is not exactly what I want. You can catch exceptions by type, but only from some code (for example, a Java library) that actually throws different types of exceptions. In Gosu, I can't throw them by type, at least from what I've seen. I can only throw some generic type of exception (or is it an error? Or something else that implements Throwable? Who knows, Gosu doesn't tell you anything about that) that contains some expression (a String literal), and then anybody who wants to catch it, needs to know that exact expression in order to catch the exception.

The more I think about it, the more terrible this looks. I can't even specify to the users of my code which exceptions they should look after (because, it seems, Gosu doesn't allow the throwing of checked exceptions and the 'throws' clause). So if I write some kind of library in Gosu, and if that library is throwing exceptions, I'm basically forcing the users of my library to catch this generic exception (or whatever it is), then put a breakpoint in the catch block and every time something gets caught inspect the expression, hoping that if they test long enough they'll find all of my expressions. Then, they need to write code that covers all the possible cases (a bunch of "if" statements).

I sincerely hope that I somehow completely misunderstood what Gosu is trying to do here, because otherwise this is just a terrible solution. That would be a real shame though, because, other than this, I honestly like the language.
