No I don't recommend -- and I am a daily vim user for years. I program mostly in C, sometimes C++. I use i3 on my desktop and tmux when remote/ssh'd into a vm. Inside vim, I use the bare minimum of plugins to reduce dependencies/complexity. I use ctags for getting around, as well as the built in features. gdb in a terminal window next to my vim window source. It's fine and snappy and does everything I need.

I live in a terminal except for the browser. Of course my xterm bindings are always vi-mode and tmux too. I have key bindings to unite all my i3/tmux/vim 'getting-around' keys and also fought that fight to unite the clipboards, even across VMs etc.

Getting back to why I say 'no' is because once you're used to the modal, and getting around with the usual vim motion keys, it makes using anything else near impossible and clumsy. I have great difficulty composing text in browser (like right now) and also emails, etc. And if any editor online allows vim keybindings, you must make sure that you are used to defaults otherwise the vim-mode won't do you much good. Like escaping with CTRL-[, or delete word with CTRL-W, which closes the tab in the browser (firefox and chrome and I never found a way to turn that off, so I lose a lot of work that way). For instance godbolt and leetcode both had vi-modes but there's enough of a difference, even though I try to use nearly all defaults, that I still end up composing any code/english in another terminal window.

I am completely hopeless using a mouse or arrow keys. If I have to go to on-site interview and have to use something other than vim, well it makes me look like I haven't sat down at a computer in 15 years. I am a hostage now to my habits and am very wary of hopping over to VSCode/CLion/jetbrains whatever else because I will be a fish out of water.

Cautious of what?
The concern over startup energy is like saying we can't have internal combustion engines until the engine can start itself with gasoline. Turns out we've gotten along fine starting cars with electricity for about 100 years, including a long while where we had to hand crank them ourselves. Surplus is just a matter of runtime once you're getting more than you put in to maintain it.
Kind of. The problem is that even when 2FA is disabled, Google's security panopticon will sometimes insist on additional verification anyway, even if you know your password, if it thinks something is suspicious.

If you don't have a verification method—or cannot access it—Google will literally just lock you out.

I have personally experienced this on accounts I don't access regularly.

I guess it is fine. just I work regularly with Python so it is more easy for me to remember. For me personally it would be an overhead to learn vim commands. And also the notebooks are more visual for me. I don't need to remember what the last command was, if i am interrupted.
It's not about better. The internet is best served by having multiple options available, encrypted and clear text.

When a CA based TLS service is the only option that means CAs control even more. And CAs fuck up, often, intentionally, unintentionally, and because of external pressures. The more people pile in one CA the more pressure. LetsEncrypt is great and I'm glad it exists, but everyone using it is bad for the internet's health.

There was a report, at that time, that the melting uranium mixed with water would go critical, as water would become a moderator not that it was flash into steam. The estimated yield was in the megaton range.

It probably was a bad report, just a 'worst case scenario', but the meeting, depicted in the series, where it was discussed could have happened with probably different participants. I see it as very similar to the fears that the trinity test would have caused the nitrogen in the atmosphere to undergo a fusion chain reaction. Even though those fears weren't realistic, they were real and are often included in the telling of the history of the Manhattan project.

"And if the uranium reached meltdown temperature - 2,900C -a single sphere of molten fuel would burn through the concrete foundations of the reactor building, and keep going until it reached the water table. At that moment, there would be another explosion, exponentially more devastating than the first; the three remaining reactors would be destroyed in a nuclear blast that would render Ukraine, Belarus and Russia uninhabitable for decades to come.

'That was the most terrifying thing,' says Veniamin Prianichnikov. 'We were petrified of meltdown, walking around like zombies.'"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/mar/26/nuclear.russia

"There was a moment when there was the danger of a nuclear explosion, and they had to get the water out from under the reactor, so that a mixture of uranium and graphite wouldn't get into it - with the water, they would have formed a critical mass. The explosion would have been between three and five megatons. This would have meant that not only Kiev and Minsk, but a large part of Europe would have been uninhabitable. Can you imagine it? A European catastrophe."

I'm kind of one of those people (I took a long break, but want to start doing it a bit more again soonish).

I do it in part just because I'm playing the games anyway and have the equipment, might as well stream it. If no one watches, oh well, no big deal, I'm still playing the games I was going to play with that time anyway.

And secondly, I am wanting to start doing some coding in public more. It's fairly stressful having to articulate what you're doing while you're doing it (tried it a couple times), and it sort of feels like I'm in a whiteboard interview at times, but I think it's good practice to become more comfortable doing it, and articulating what I'm doing as well as getting feedback from others could help me become a better coder.

Also the game I'm working on in my spare time (a sequel to my old Proximity strategy board game that was popular once upon a time as a Flash game and on Xbox 360) will eventually have support for a Twitch audience to play along via the chat, so I'll need to stream in order to test the game properly anyway, and hopefully by the time I get to that point I'll have at least a small handful of people who will be on there and can playtest it with me.

Also part of the reason I took a break is it turns out using an ultra-wide monitor isn't ideal for streaming (aspect ratio is off). I love my monitor but when I go into games I have to mess with borders and things can get cut off without adjustment, etc. I did get a Cam-Link recently though and got streaming from my Switch to work (and presumably my PS4), and it let's me stream 1080p without stressing my computer (no worry of dropped frames) and also letting me use my monitor still for Twitch chat, so that'll probably be easier to manage.

I've got some time off starting next week so I'm hoping to start getting into the habit of it again. If anyone's curious, I have the same account name on Twitch as on here, although I'm debating changing it to something that can be a bit more ubiquitous online, and haven't decided what yet.
Hard to say how much difference it would make but why would you give your opponent a freebie?

IIUC, it's generally held that in a price negotiation, the first party that posts a number is at a disadvantage. Starting salary is one kind of price negotiation. So I can understand why employers would be reluctant to do that.

> and this exercise literally helped you feel your feelings. That's a good thing

How? I gain no insight from it. When I'm feeling like shit, I don't need additional help in feeling like shit, it's never helped me "process it". When I'm feeling okay, I don't need to go through the pain as a routine needlessly as some people suggest. What kind of life is that?

I'm doing okay nowadays in part because I've managed to shove my emotions out of the way once I acknowledge they're only a signal to a real problem that I can either do something about or I can do absolutely nothing about, and once that's determined the emotion as a signal is useless and knowing that helps me set it aside and focus on what I want in life and determining a purpose. But that practice of dwelling on my emotions and reflecting on "how I felt" held me back for a long time, and that's why I had the need to comment at all. While this kind of thing may help a lot of people it's important for some to hear "yeah this might not work for you at all, might even be worse, don't waste time if it doesn't work for you, there are other ways".

Today you can usually customize everything anyway. And if you just want the default setup from another editor there's probably a plugin for that. I remember when moving from Eclipse to IntelliJ a long time ago I brought some of the most commonly used shortcuts into IntelliJ. I then later moved those with me to VSCode and still use them today, took me a maximum of 30 min to configure ONCE so I really don't understand the author's reluctance to configure that in a new IDE.
> Most of the modern web will be broken on older devices.

Sure. But if someone wants YC to enforce posting salary ranges in job posts they might want to take that up privately with YC management rather than starting with public criticism. In other contexts people usually advocate "praise publicly, criticize privately." If the OP thinks YC job posts break the law or fall short of ethical rules then I suggest asking YC about it rather than accusing YC companies of "breaking hiring laws" on a public forum.

The very ergonomic solution to map a computation to every element of a sequence is `map`. In this case, `for` is filled with bookkeeping that does not matter.

Versioning is a technique. Backups, copy+paste+rename also does it
I used to be one of those phone answering sysadmins for a specific customer revenue. I think that job gave me phone anxiety. Every single different call was some new destroyed system by someone who had no idea what they were doing, hacked systems, unplanned migrations, whiteboarding-in-your-brain architecture discussions, etc. The other webhosts I worked at would never put an admin on the phone with a customer directly unless they were seriously enterprise, like a portion of the datacenter.

One time the CTO of a major company called me directly and I had to migrate a SQL database that was the backend of their public website while having him breathe down my neck. Lots of calls like that.

We gave great support but at cost. That was tiring and we did it in shifts. I hated the days I had to do that.

FWIW for people with different support experiences, support was based on revenue. The different tiers (smb/enterprise, etc) assigned you more senior admins, etc. It wasn't a massive pool of admins or anything.

I quit eventually because I hated answering the phones. Great company while I was there, though. I recommended it to everyone who could deal with the phone calls and San Antonio.
It offers privacy too. With encrypted DNS, you can only see that the source IP is making a request to the destination IP, not what type of request or what it contains.

If the source device then connects to whatever IP was in the answer, and you have that IP mapped, then you can reveal what they might be connecting to, but that requires more data and processing compared to plaintext DNS and still won't reveal the actual encrypted traffic.

With shared IPs from CDNs, hosting providers, and VPNs, it provides far more obfuscation for the average user.
Today we just have a variation of FastCDC in production, but we have alternate experimental chunkers for some file formats (ex: a heuristic chunker for CSV files that will enable almost free subsampling). Hope to have them enter production in the next 6 months.
"Activity on Twitter’s ad manager, a subdomain of Twitter’s ad platform sites that specifically hosts those creating or monitoring ad campaigns, declined nearly 74% in October from a year earlier, according to the firm’s data. In November, visits fell 85% on the same basis—the largest ad traffic decline since Twitter’s change of hands."

Similarweb must have tracking that allows them to monitor visits to third-party websites. I'm not sure how, maybe someone can shed some light?
Sounds like `git annex` is file-level deduplication, whereas this tool is block-level, but with some intelligent, context-specific way of defining how to split up the data (i.e. Content-Defined Chunking). For data management/versioning, that's usually a big difference.
Absolutely miss linux every day that I'm macOS, the cost of customizing the conveniences of macOS are too much though.

Linux just feels different to be able to get any software easily. The fact that I can change anything, makes me feel safe to test anything. And on mac, there just feels like it's more work.

I miss it, but I'm so much more productive when it comes to handling the business side of the business on mac, and the M series is the only cpu I will accept after it's release. Power and battery life unmatched.

If you imagine (rest) mass to be a special form of energy to begin with, you're already 99% there. The fact that the speed of light squared is used as a conversion factor is superficially due to the way our units system is constructed, and in a deeper way it is due to the fact that fundamental properties of the universe are reflected in all of its fundamental processes (so, in a way these are also conversion factors in the actual mechanics of the universe).
You seem to have some serious mental issues. I recommend therapy.

Out of perhaps an over abundance of curiosity, what would be your take on, say, Massachusetts Rules of Evidence Section 1104? What sorts of things do you think Massachusetts would promise a witness?
So what was the advance here really? The experiment generated a bit more energy than usually, going over a certain purely theoretical threshold where it's "ignition" only if you ignore all the externalities required for driving the experiment?

It was advertised like the Higgs boson while it was really more like Elon Musk announcing that a fully autonomous Tesla had completed the first full circuit on a test track.
The short answer is that it's a unit conversion factor. Physicists often work in units where c = 1, and then the equation becomes E=m multiplied by a unit conversion term.

>you picked the wrong cofounder.

Picking a cofounder can be extremely difficult. It's almost like finding a partner to marry.

You have to trust them on so many levels:
- That they're putting the same amount of effort in as you are, they're as invested (tons of horror stories about this.)
- That they have the compatible (maybe not exactly the same but close enough) long term vision for the company (general roadmap, how and when to take funding)
- You have to figure out a division of duties that's equitable. This can be extremely challenging especially if it's a software company and one of the cofounders isn't technical.

Past early 20's it gets extremely dicey. If you're taking year(s) off your career to build this thing, and investing money into it pre-seed, you're taking a huge gamble and you're just introducing this big additional wildcard. It's not like these people who meet in college and have nothing to lose.

I recently started a company and received several offers from people I didn't know at all to be my cofounder. Just like, cold LinkedIn messages. Like, you don't even know what the premise of my company is, and you haven't suggested what you would offer.

Even with friends - it's like that saying goes. Don't become roommates with your best friend. Once a lot of money is involved, things change.

I'm not saying it's impossible to have a good cofounder, but it's extremely difficult. Building a business is already hard enough. I almost wish it more common to take on a first employee who serves as a sort of co-founder who will wear a lot of hats, and still gets a great equity grant that vests over time (like 15%) but the risk is much more mitigated.

Engineer is a protected designation in other trades. Especially civil and structural engineering.

It requires some pretty heavy testing, a few years of apprenticeship, project reviews by mentors, recommendation letters, and a few other hoops.

Software is so much more broad than the physical sciences that I cannot imagine a way to generalize a pathway for software engineers.
Even if the hashmap library knew that the only valid keys were 'a' .. 'z', it wouldn't be magically faster. The best it could do is use basically the same code as a hand-rolled implementation.

Bit operations and shifts take a single clock cycle, and the mask can be stored in a register throughout the entire loop.

If "early exit" brings any improvement, I don't see why the best wouldn't be to combine the two solutions instead of choosing one or the other.
I'm an unashamed Mastodon advocate.

Firstly, a significant fraction of the most interesting accounts I follow on Twitter have moved to Mastodon.

Secondly, Mastodon feels incredibly fresher than Twitter, which has completely ossified.

Thirdly, I know this sounds slightly contradictory, but it really is quite a lot like Twitter, in terms of recreating the good aspects of Twitter.
