I've used vim for coming on 15 years now, so I feel that I may qualify as 'experienced'. My biggest productivity gain was giving up on endless customization after I had reached a certain proficiency (e.g., everything in the original article is rather basic vim usage) and comfortable workflow for specific development purposes (e.g. when switching to a new language, I spend some time setting vim up to solve the most glaring pain points and once it feels comfortable, I stop customizing). All the mucking about with various baroque plugins and ever-more-marginal keystroke-saving key mappings costs a lot more time than what can be gained from it. For example, I used to have a bunch of mappings that would insert documentation blocks in various forms. Just misremembering the mapping once a day causes enough workflow disruption to undo any gains from having them in the first place. Nowadays I just type comments / docblocks by hand. It's a few more keystrokes, but a lot more natural and flexible.

Also, staying as close as possible to the default settings makes it a lot easier to move to other environments and/or upgrade. Although now that I have my .vimrc in my Dropbox it doesn't matter as much as it used to.
This is the risk the banks take using shares in a tech company IPO as collateral. How does this weigh in on the proposed tax?
I think that's because it's an order of magnitude more complicated than Haiku. BeOS was fairly new and well designed when they started. Windows however has nearly 25 years of evolution to reproduce.

ReactOS is remarkably functional considering though!
I just don't like this style very much. It's better to write

Yes, you're right the world is going mobile and in mobile less (no) moving parts is better (more durable etc.)
That is also why I think that consumer grade devices will be unlikely (unless read speeds are bumped up, too)

But mobile, in our case, means also a shift to the cloud, where significant more potent storage technologies could make a real difference.
I really hope, too, that technology will lead to something new.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I wanted to say that it's not possible to solve the problem by asking the user's permission because API does not allow you to ask for a permission to upload specific data (address book). So there is no way to prevent an app to upload your address book without totally preventing it to upload anything.

Poll: Do you touch-type?
Like most of you, I've had my hands on a keyboard for most of the day for many years now. I'm pretty fast, and I don't need to look down, but I wouldn't say I really touch-type. That is, I don't keep my fingers on the home keys and I only use three fingers of each hand. I make more mistakes than I should.

Am I the only one like this? Has anyone been like me and learned The Right Way? I'd love to cut down on the number of mistakes I make, but so far Mavis Beacon is mind-numbingly boring (and demotivating because I'm so much slower The Right Way).

Any tips?

First, I am not saying that I don't value government services. I am saying that as someone who believes that people should be free, it's disingenuous of me to force someone else to pay for freedom, through the threat of guns. (I am completely willing to pay my "fair share" and more.)

Second, if the government provides a valuable service, people should and would WANT to pay for it. So there's no need for me to FORCE someone to pay for it.

Third, you named a great DISservice. Currency "stably" heading to zero [1] is really not a valuable service.

Not necessarily true. Large companies can and do currently benefit from higher corporate tax and a complicated tax code. It creates barriers to entry for new companies competing in their market. If you make the tax code simpler it provides them less opportunities to specialize in avoiding taxes.
"But you should really try to wean yourself off the bad habit of moving in insert mode."

That's just dogmatism for the sake of it. There are certainly cases where it takes less finger movement to use arrow key movement (either by character or by word) in insert mode than it would take with switching to normal mode and doing hjkl movement.
Sure, I agree it is poor style. I guess I assumed because of the context you were saying you would expect the type checker to flag it as an error.

Sometimes, and I mean just sometimes, it is better to just use ===. For instance, I recently wrote some code where a variable has a value of type Number, but I use "false" to signal the absence of such value (in the sense that the value is not available yet). In that case, I have to use stuff like if(x !== false), because "0" is a valid value in that context.
> The problem is that this isn't easily enforceable at the API level without the user having to make decisions.

It's not enforceable even WITH the user having to make decisions. The user can not allow the app to upload one kind of data and disallow another (address book). You can only allow ANY upload or no upload at all.
I remember seeing a very similar effect on my iPhone 3G with Safari. Since it only ever happened on Hacker News, I'd personally place the blame on the HTML here, rather than the browsers. When it works I prefer this rendering, I couldn't figure out what was different at first, I assumed it was just better tuned to my Galaxy Nexus screen size/dpi.

Also, one of the other features is a zoom window when you try and click on small link targets that are close together. Not tried it here yet but it worked beautifully on the similar up/down vote arrows on Reddit. (image showing it in action: http://i.imgur.com/UpWKF.jpg)

I use my iPhone too. I must have around 100+ business ideas and 100+ ideas for blog posts that I've not sat down to write yet.

So far I've seen around 4 of my ideas built by others. I feel pulled in all of these directions, I have too many I would like to work on, It used to make me mad that someone beat me to it.

I get stuck at implementing them, I get as far as my skills allow. I desperately want to be able to build them or at least produce an MVP on my own.

Now I try to remember that I can't work on everything. Also if I see my idea come to life through someone else and it becomes successful, I just smile and think at least it was a good idea!
Google Gives Away Amazon Vouchers for Browsing Data
Actually holding on to cash is a serious issue at the size we are talking about. Over night the feds would be the biggest investor in everything. A small country can go set up a sovereign wealth fund but the US would probably just hold its own paper which is equivalent to spending the money in the first place.
It has the same advantage that any paid anti-virus has over a free one i.e. some sense that because you've paid for something it must be better. Or in plain English, no advantage at all.

While I understand the appeal (and - being stuck on pre 4.0 anyway, not utterly relevant for me at this time): I really hope that this will stay an optional offer, with a simple browser being the default.

Things like "When searching, your top search results are loaded in the background as you type so pages appear instantly." make me shudder in disgust. The 'inspired by WebOS' card stuff looks nice, but I won't be having more than 2-3 tabs open on my phone at any given time (tablets might be different here).

A browser is a very central part of the user experience. I prefer it simple and stupid.
Well, maybe I'm missing something here, but I really think it's mind blowing HN-readers are only now realizing this is happening with these kind of apps.

The Bmark approach: How I plan to revolutionize bookmarking on the Internet
As a hardware engineer, I'd suggest zeroing page-sized blocks of memory through a hardware interface without hogging the external bus.

But, of course, that misses the point of the article. ;-)

To say nothing about forcing a redesign of many memory products.
I would expect that's how they plan on getting to those ridiculous write speeds. Decrease the size of 1 bit so that more of them would fit on one track (a circle on a platter). They would be able to do that since the time to flip the region of the bit would be smaller. However, there is still the problem of finding a material with that much smaller magnetic regions. Which is already a problem in current drives (perpendicular recording) so I don't expect this to fly.

I have learned to touch type properly using http://www.typingweb.com and I think it's fantastic but I don't know how it compares to Mavis Beacon.
I came here to say pretty much this. I will add:

10 years of experience at a high-profile tech company in addition to numerous awards, and you want to turn him down? Do you have any idea how much job recruiters would bend over backwards to get a candidate like that? I have worked for myself, for startups, and at a bigger company - and I can attest that work does not differ much, except that startups pay crappy wages and demand crazy hours. Experience is experience - it does not matter if he was trained on the MS stack - I was too, and quickly became proficient in OSS, Mac, and mobile development.
> According to the email exchange, he also said that he was going to publish these facts and the source code unless Symantec paid him $50,000.

Either I am completely misteading Gizmodo or they are lying. In either case it seems too late to remove the post.
Your argument that there's no such thing as "rights" and that they are arbitrary concepts is false.

Yes, they are protected by the government by force and it's possible for someone to violate your rights.

This does not mean the rights are arbitrary. The right to life is a fundamental good agreed upon by pretty much every culture and civilization in the world. No one sanctions arbitrary killing.

You are starting to move into the world of moral relativism which is a false moral philosophy.

Even the utilitarian philosophy relies on some fundamental ideas about what is good and should be promoted.
But, does it amount to less work total for the same number of children?
I think the business model is definitely to sell to someone else consolidating in the sector. I use this and have used Xobni but don't need the services enough to pay for them like most people I suspect. It's genuinely useful for people who don't know how their email search works and for those who want to track people down though.

This is a little off topic, but thought I'd ask the C++11 aficionados who're viewing this thread. For those who've taken the hit and really explored C++11:

1) What are the best resources to learn how to code C++11 in a Pythonic style? Looking for a book or production source code example that uses the new language features idiomatically: lambdas, vector and dictionary literals, and the like.

2) What does your toolchain look like for C++11? Just the latest gcc and latest emacs, plus maybe a few tools like makeheaders[1] and gtags[2], or something more?

I can recommend Finland to you, as far as introversion goes. Anyone here who's talking loud, fast, or talking at all gives a suspicious impression, in general. A very energetic and talkative salesman would hardly make any sales in Finland. People appreciate individuals who only talk when they have something important to say. Granted, this sort of aversion has its downsides as well but most foreigners I've talked to say that the thing they love in Finland is the lack of pressure to talk all the time. Or become visible by talking: you can become visible more effectively by not talking. And, of course, it applies to non-work environment as well: you can sit in a train in peace without nobody trying to small-talk you out of your thoughts.

(Reminder: this is a generalization, of course. But not such a ridiculous extrapolation out of a few stereotypes, after all.)
This could never work in practice because it would unfairly penalise founders of small companies whose share value may not be so spectacular.

The principle of paying tax on a notional value (which is what the market share price effectively is) is crazy - as the author points out the value can go down. Who's to say that it doesn't go through the floor at some point, which by his reckoning would allow for you to claim some of the tax back? Talk about volatility - you would want the stock to be massively unstable!

The author suggests that selling stock to pay for a tax bill as a solution - but that sale would also be taxable. Therefore you could never fully pay off your tax bill, and what would happen if you ran out of shares to sell?

I think the rot stems from the practice of lending where shares in public companies are used as security. This is not security at all and should be stopped. The impact would be clear it would force companies to either pay a (taxable) salary to it's founders and directors (like SMEs) or let them sell shares to realise income.

Introversion means you charge energy by being alone and enjoying your own company, and you discharge when you spend time with others. Extraversion is the opposite.

Introverts can exhibit extraverted behaviour, just like extraverts can exhibit introverted behaviour. It's just more taxing and the key is to balance between charging vs. discharging so that you won't run out of juice.
