If I remember correctly you could buy with dollars at Steam as an European customer until one year ago, since then this isn't possible anymore. Was this change forced by the publishers?

Anyway, thanks for the hint. Pricing of Valve games is indeed near parity, so you are probably correct regarding publishers/Steam.

I'm completely speculating (my agent hasn't approved iOS 6 SDK License yet and I can't access the docs), but if I were to implement this feature, I'd bake it into the App Store. Say you created IMDB.app. You can specify (in a plist) which domains your app operates on (imdb.com, imdb.de) and Safari would automatically open up that banner when you visited those domain IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT INSTALLED ALREADY. Something like <itunes='imdb' lang='en/us'> is the worst option I think. AND, would cause confusion. What if all websites decided to include this little tag on behalf of an advertiser to promote an app? That's the nightmare scenario IMO.

Please dear wizard, here's a list of requirements for a fellow programmer that he can currently do with Visual Studio and wants to do the same with vim:

- find in files (in vim, not in bash)

- replace in files

- rename symbol (uh-oh...)

- quick open file in project (visual assist feature)

- list of files in project (not in directory)

- build system (something easy to use, not that make bullshit)

- go to declaration/definition ( sometimes I get a list of 30 matches from ctags, so I would like something that actually works )

- view call hierarchy (callers, callees)

- code completion (something that works and is easy to use, like in visual assist)

- watches

- breakpoints in disassembly

- step into disassembly

- memory view while debugging

- edit & continue

- memory (data) breakpoints

We're talking about large C/C++ codebases, obviously. You might get 50% of the features above after tinkering for a few days/weeks/months with your vim with (probably) much worse usability, when you could have used Visual C++ from the get-go and enjoyed a "real programmer's editor", as you put it.

This bullshit religion you are introducing only hurts potential programmers because instead of focusing on getting their job done they have to reinvent the wheel every time they have to write a line of code. I'm not saying it's a bad thing for a young mind to experience the horror of having to debug a 500.000 LOC codebase with a stone-age debugger, just for the kicks ("that's how your old man was programming back in the day, son"), but when you have to meet deadlines and release something going vim-only can quickly become a liability.

I should have quoted the parent more fully:

> No dependencies on anything (relatively speaking). More control over design & production of hardware than hardware companies. Software runs on their own hardware.

It's the argument that Apple (in the beginning) had full control of their hardware when they had few/no resources that makes Apple (today) a poor example of how to "do it right" when you're starting a new product. Apple, too, had to navigate in a high-risk market full of established players.
this was exactly what I thought. Plus I don't know if it is the HN effect or not, but it's hella slow and unusable right now.

For $250, I've built an Android and Ubuntu tablet, using the Pandaboard ES as the base with a 10.1" capacitive touchscreen (multi-touch).

It functions extremely well and makes me wonder why no serious manufacturers are pursuing this avenue right now .. it seems to me to be a very powerful combination of parts.

Ripe opportunities abound for anyone with the skills to bootstrap a hardware startup constructing such things. I sure wish I had the gumption to do it (I could handle the software side, anyway..)

> How is HD resolution on an external display the same thing as DECODING IN SOFTWARE a HD flash video?

How is software decoding remotely relevant? Doing that when almost all modern phones and tablets have GPU's that supports accelerated decoding of the formats that actually get used on the web would be entirely pointless.

> I still think that most people who want to use devices like these want to be able to watch videos.

And they will be, given that pretty much even the cheapest Chinese Android devices around have hardware accelerated video decoding for the common formats. In fact, the most common chipset in the cheapest of the cheap Android devices these days tend to have the ARM Mali GPU architecture largely for this purpose.
Yup, you start with #1 there.

#2 doesn't really exist, so no need to learn it.

#3 is just using the commands in sequence. They aren't new commands.

#4 is advanced and I've never had a need for it yet.

Let's pick some apart:

ddp:

dd - delete line

p - paste line below

This swaps a line because when you delete a line, the line below it moves up and you end up on that line. When you paste an entire line, it pastes to the next line.

ddkP:

dd - delete line

k - move up 1 line

P - paste line above. (Shift usually means 'opposite direction', so it pastes above instead.)

I don't think of these as commands as such. I just think, I want to delete this line, and then I want to place it here. He's providing these as commands to show that Vim can handle the same features as Sublime Text, but he's doing it in a non-Vim way, as far as I'm concerned.

You don't memorize non-basic commands. You just use basic commands until you get what you need, and it happens that the advanced commands for most other editors can be done with just the basic commands of Vim.

The future of Google Search: Amit Singhal interview
I actually did use the fact that MacVim is open source to fix a bug one day. Well, actually, someone else had already figured it out and provided a patch, but it wasn't in the main line yet and I really, really needed it that day. But I was already on the track to fixing it when I found someone else's patch.
Why would that be, vim seems to be difficult to use because a good manual that actually teaches how to use vim isn't available yet.

In fact it was surprising to me when I learned vim commands are actually a form of some terse language. Because I was only of an assumption that most vim commands are random string of characters you need to memorize. And when you memorize and practice enough you become productive.

I would be definitely well suited for vim, because I like terse language paradigms in unix like sed, awk, perl. I think if I had known about these aspects of vim a while back. I would have tried to write a few essays myself to understand using vim effectively.

I feel tempted to give vim a try now.

Ok, then for me breaking "The law" covers Civil Law and Criminal law. I never made any mention of Federal or not and don't see how that matters.

I thought it was well known on HN that Apple used the DMCA ( Digital Millennium Copyright Act, aka, part of "the law" in the US) against the Hackintosh company Psystar, I guess I was wrong. A quick google will bring up the specifics if you want it. (e.g. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/02/apple_psystar_dmca/)

The reason I said it was a grey area was that the DMCA supposedly has provisions for compatibilty and personal use. So it could be argued that installing it yourself on your own hackingtosh (not commercially like Psystar did) does not violate the DMCA, but since this has not yet been tested in court (as far as I know) do this at your own risk.
But an iPad is too big to be attractive for me to use during my commute, which is the time it'd be most useful for me as a tablet, and too expensive to be competitive with a netbook for the type of occasional emergency usage I was talking to.

Just to echo the sentiments here, it's certainly partly just because they can. If you want a hilarious example, look at Canada. I'm going to use Lenovo here as an example (but applies equally to other retailers). Baseline T420 on the US site? $1365.00. Baseline T420 in Canada? $1520.00. The exchange rate? Been within 5% of parity (either direction) for the last several years. Taxes? Canadian sale prices must be shown pre-tax (just like in the US). Supply chain? Practically the same thing. I ordered a T400 several years ago, and watched it get shipped from China to Alaska to their depot in Kentucky, and then trucked up to Toronto.

I guess there might be some problems with the Made in China part (doesn't completely fall under NAFTA), but I honestly can't figure out the tarrif /import duty laws.

But the point is that US prices almost always seem lower =/

Apple's warranty policies in Europe are still a disgrace, unfortunately. The warranty on a laptop charger is only one year, instead of two, for example. They aren't cheap to replace either (€80 for a simple cable?!). The warranty on an iPod is useless when there's a crack in the screen: defects that have nothing to do with the screen will only be fixed for a hefty price. The advice is to "just buy a new one".

In the mean time, they do reel in this extra money, for apparently no good reason. It really made me think twice about buying an Apple product again. The products are exquisite, but the service is just terrible.

The warranty policies in the US however seem to be exquisite as well (or were a while ago at least).
Because they can!

The good price is the maximum price the client will pay for the service/product.

As long as the users buy, they are going to continue this way.

Basically Apple says there is code in there to lock their OS to their hardware, it doesn't have to be particularly good, as long as it is there and has to be circumvented for a hackintosh (you cannot just pop a DVD in and install, unless things have changed since I last had a look).

Specify date in format like 25/3/1987

Users will routinely ignore or misinterpret instructions like this. It takes an extra hour or two of work, but either do the three dropdown boxes or give them a free-form text field which is fairly intelligent with a suggestion that tells them how to phrase things and then attempts to discern their intent when they write things in a way which is not ambiguous.

For example, 3/25/1982 and 25/3/1982 and 1982 Mar 25 are all trivially recognizable and unambiguous. Should someone type in 3 4 82, two hours of work will let you say "We really care about your tax return being accurate so we want to check: is your birth date [March 4th, 1982], [April 3rd, 1982] or [something else?]"

You would additionally benefit from microcopy on this page to the general effect of "Your data is totally secure -- we use bank grade encryption [and blah blah blah]. You can review your return before we send it to the tax authorities."
That site will disappear in the next few months, and will be replaced with something less obnoxious.

Theoretically, but setting up a business in Greece doesn't get you the same degree of market access to the EU as setting up a business in New Mexico gets you to the US.

You still have to deal with a lot of very different sovereign states, languages and mentalities. A Swedish customer is not going to feel much different about dealing with Greek business than dealing with a Russian one.

Imagine you want to start a business selling your own brand of briefcases. In the US, you can set yourself up to supply to the whole US (almost) as easily as you can to deal with your local state. Try organizing shipping, sales taxes, customer service etc. for all Europe and you'll probably decide to start with one or two countries.
The warranty on a laptop charger is only one year, instead of two, for example.

They might claim that, but it isn't, and a small claims court or equivalent will prove it to them. All new non-perishable products have two years of warranty, period.
How do other brands compare? For example, how much would a similar Dell or Lenovo laptop cost?
Maybe, but did it need to do that since the Euro was introduced? The crazy USD-Euro price differences have persisted since the Euro was introduced. Apple is not the only offender, by the way.

I've heard this a lot -- in fact in a recent Stack Overflow "best rails IDE's" thread, Vim was near the top of recommended answers. I've been using gedit with a few add-ons installed to make working with rails a little easier.

I also grabbed RubyMine but I haven't spent any significant time there yet as I already have the terminal->gedit workflow down and fighting through RubyMine modal menus to setup BitBucket git pushing started to get old quickly. Terminal is easy. I just push.

What does Vim offer that gedit doesn't? I guess I don't understand the main difference.
