this, but without the contentious overtones.

wait, let me back up for a moment wrt the original article. that screenshot in the article is not emacs. i can't give you a screenshot of emacs, because emacs doesn't even depend on a windowing system for near-maximum awesomeness. it is my go-to text editor, and i very likely will (progn several of these snippets into my .el files.

that said, we do have have windowing systems now, with some better ones on the way, not to mention touchscreens. i haven't tried out lighttable yet, but i intend to, and i greatly hope that either (1) lighttable follows in emacs footsteps of being fully scriptable (as opposed to the adopting a plugin model that's so typical of java ides) or (2) emacs devours all of that beyond-code-folding -- how best to say it? -- code-exploding (?) awesomeness that lighttable attempts to bring and that, to me, appears to map perfectly onto this new world we find ourselves in where computers are not giant boxes attached to printers anymore but are, instead, whole buildings attached to touchscreens.

doesn't matter if your program's a crocodile or wildabeast: adapt or die.
Do you have particular insights into IBM's low end server business or is it because you use snapchat and have never used an IBM server?
I agree with the point. Does this mean I am now a paid shill?
FFS, that's about as ad-hominem as it gets. Stop it.
I thought Win16 support was discontinued in Win XP??? Not so?
How Big Data Analytics Will Affect Your Company Culture
Jeff, I'm signed up for the entire set at the moment. It's just a matter of deciding if I want to pay for it and focus on it or take other classes (MIT is doing a data course as well this spring over with edx). If I can get my employer to pay that'd be better, not because it's expensive but because I perceive that it would be better material to add to my resume if I can say it was work sponsored.

I'd like to know your thoughts on the value of the final capstone project respective to career development?
If you're looking for a site like this, I'd recommend nextdoor.com. Bonus: not owned by Comcast.

I really dislike services which make you call to cancel. There are some in the US, too.

The OP could use the Times model to try and convert folks to a longer-term, discounted plan if they are enjoying their trial. But too much upsell and your conversions will drop.
At least in Vim, line numbers help to move around and operate on text really quickly.

Move cursor to ninth line above: 9k

Delete from here to seventh line below: 7dd

Copy thirteenth line above after second line below: :-13t+2

Having line numbers always visible (either relative or absolute) helps for doing this operations quickly.
this is a feature. it's actually pretty awesome for setting up quick meetings. It's a function of the "Quick add" feature that carries over into the title of the event: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/36604?hl=en

Edit: I am very familiar with Google's products, having helped many businesses move to Google Apps through the years. "Features" like this often surprise users and it is not unusual to get negative reactions. Normally, once you show someone how it works and explain that it isn't likely to change, they adapt.
I'm skeptical

A whitelist wouldn't work, because these people need to be contacted from the outside, from people with gmail addresses (usually goes through a secretary though)

A dedicated (unfiltered) internal email sounds more likely, or just routing directly google.com to google.com addresses.

But then again this is google and maybe internally it's only Hangouts
I am probably stuck in the same situation. I am 17 though and I live in India.
I am planning on giving SAT and going to USA, land an internship from there as it would be easy for local people and maybe later apply for job to get citizenship.
Maybe you can do the same.

I feel so agitated seeing the condition of education in my country(CS), universities here are as if they are mocking the subject by giving theory test which I never found useful in my life. Even more the graduates have lesser knowledge than me on the subject.

Thank heavens, I was hanging by the edge of my seat waiting for someone to make the inevitable comment.
I ordered a fairly expensive lawnmower from Amazon, and it arrived slightly damaged (really horrible packaging with no real protection--I think it wasn't Amazon's packaging). I called Amazon, and they sent another overnight(!) and told me to just keep the first. (I fixed it up at low cost and use it at our farm.)

They clearly have factored in goodwill as an offsetting benefit to any costs of selling entirely remotely.

(BTW, the best customer service I have ever experienced was from Anthro, the computer furniture company. I had used one of their desks (MDF construction) for 5 years and it was sagging in the middle. I called to complain and they apologized, explaining they had re-engineered that design with an additional support leg in the middle. They then, at no cost and no promting from me, overnighted me a replacement new-style desk ($900 desk, $300 shipping), five years into the life of the original desk. Astounding.)
Use a VM to try running it on Linux or Win. Ideally, if it is C, I would go with Linux.

The best way I would get started is by trying something as simple as making my player move twice as fast as all the rest.

It sounds simple in theory, but it is complex and a great way to break things while getting your feet wet.

If you can read the code and understand what each piece does, it isn't very tough to make mods. If you find it confusing, coding weird things and watching it break is a good way to experiment.
"IBM's System z mainframe running z/OS experienced its third consecutive quarter of growth, increasing revenue 9.9% year over year to $1.2 billion, representing 9.8% of all server revenue in 2Q13."[0]

IBM makes some big systems. To me, it's not terribly surprising they'd be willing to part with their lower-end units. Mainframes are where the money is for IBM.

The anti-tying enforcement is one of the EU restrictions on anti-competitive behaviour I really love... That kind of behaviour generally does not fly in Europe.

In fact, the subsidies on cellphones were border-line a problem in large parts of Europe when it started, and there are a lot of special restrictions that have been gradually applied to it (such as limits on contract lengths, restrictions on locking etc.) as authorities have grappled with how to allow the positive aspects of it without also enabling the predatory and anti-competitive behaviour the anti-tying regulations were put in place to prevent.
Comments on the FB post suggest the amount was 33,500$.
Have you looked at web2py (http://www.web2py.com/)
Yes, It actually adds an invite in my other calender (other email account) without confirming. Surely a privacy issue.
I'm very interested in this technology (and somewhat skeptical about it). The website is very opaque on how it actually works, and "signature correlation" doesn't appear to be a well-known term (http://scholar.google.ru/scholar?q=signature+correlation+lid...). It also appears to not be based on time-of-flight measurement.

It's also not clear for me how are they going to make a production run within 2 months (funding ends with Feb, shipping in May), much less so for a project which includes an ASIC.
Not hardly, especially not with AMD powering the current line up of gaming consoles.
Conspiracy Theories: Correlated Search Traffic for 'NSA' vs 'iOS7'
Honestly, you are living in a first world country, and you are able to live in almost any other first world country without much effort. You could go to germany, UK, france... and being a good developer, I'm sure you will find a nice job in any of them.

So, no, you are not "trapped" as far as I know (based on what you say).

To add a little perspective: there are people in countries at war. And people living in countries where the government doesn't allow them to leave. Haven't you seen the pull request comment everybody was talking about yesterday? (somebody answering a pull request telling he won't be able to work on it because of an ongoing revolution in his country).

I myself live in a country where I can't buy dollars without a special government permission (try to leave the country without any cash...). I can't even buy stuff on the internet without having to sign an affidavit each time, and I'm only allowed do that 2 times a year. That is much closer to be "trapped", and even here, I was able to find a really nice job where I can work on AI, python, and other nice things.
MakeGamesWithUs (YC W12) is hiring instructors for our Boston Summer Academy
You will be teaching primarily college and high school students how to build their first product: an iPhone game! Our curriculum covers Objective-C and Cocos2d, but also product design, prototyping, user testing, analytics, and more. The MakeGamesWithUs Summer Academy is where students go from having tinkered with CS to falling in love with it and your job will be to teach and mentor them throughout.

What we’re looking for:

- Passion for teaching and significant teaching experience

- Strong CS background and industry experience building real products

- Existing knowledge or ability to learn (prior to summer) technologies used (Objective-C, Cocos2d, Git, SpriteBuilder)

- We’re hiring 2-3 instructors and would like at least one female instructor

You will need to come to California (we will pay your travel expenses) for at least 2 weeks of training in late May/early June and then you will be in Boston for a week of setup + the 9 weeks the program runs - mid June to mid August. This is a fixed term 12 week full time job.

If you’re interested, contact us - boston@makegameswith.us

Why Make A Movie Within A Computer Game?
You could segment users based off activity, for example sending:

1) a goodwill email, an up-sell to a longer-term plan or extra features, etc;

2) automatically cancel these folks, and send an email to that effect: "We notice you're not using X, so we won't be charging you at the end of your trial." They will just cause a cancellation anyway, though you will lose some of the 'free money' from lazy or unaware users.

3) Don't bill, but you could automatically extend the trial since they haven't used it, and you'll get more value from people converting to group 1) than 2). Perhaps the free trial starts when they've actually done some impactful action other than create the account.

There's way more segmenting you could do based on the types of users you see, which ones are most enjoying the service, and so on. Just seems odd these days to say "I'll email everyone" on a fixed rule.

You do not have to go through this. You may change your name legally for any reason as long as you are not trying to defraud anyone if you live in the US or a common law country. Your name is someone that you choose to be known by.

Generally you just need to go to a judge and get a court order of your new desired legal name, and prove that you aren't trying to evade taxes or defraud anyone. Then you can bring that paperwork to the proper people.

Look up the process in your new state and get your documents reissued.

Right or wrong, I have no opinion, but at this point, that word is used in the general population and popular media to mean, "I thought about a problem or situation differently than I usually do."

I think the lifehack movement started that train of thought. I'm not really sure.
Like huge swaths of the insurance, banking and healthcare industries. (Current iSeries shop here - we are a ticket printing company) Construction is also a huge shop. In fact, iSeries is SAP's preferred platform, but the SAP Windows install consultants won't tell you that because they make way more money consulting on Windows.
Ugh, I understand that it can be useful for some people, but I find natural language parsing of calendar events intrusive and annoying.

99% of the time it ends up parsing a field incorrectly, and if I wanted to set a field it's on the form anyway, so why bother? In this case, why parse out an email address and send them an invite when there's an "invite" text box on the same page?

If the only way to set the time, date and invite list was to have the subject line get parsed, it would be obvious that this sort of thing will occur.

Honestly, to me this is a solution in search of a problem.
After being fed up with them by trying to close my account that had a single unused '.it' domain, I finally figured out how to cut the ties. Without playing their games. I changed my name[1], phone, home address, email[2], and used a testing CC number[3].

Call it a hack, but I haven't heard from them since. For once, I was actually glad their sales team was much stronger than their tech.

>IBM makes some big systems. To me, it's not terribly surprising they'd be willing to part with their lower-end units. Mainframes are where the money is for IBM.

Yup. even if that's only 10% of their revenue, I bet it's a lot more of their profit. Margins on assembling servers are driven down by massive competition, and by the fact that it's really difficult to 'differentiate' x86; your product is the same microchips as the competition on very similar boards in very similar metal boxes. (Which isn't to say the margins are zero, it's just that the customer has a lot more negotiation ammo. Your sales person has to work a lot harder.)

This situation is very good for the consumer, of course; they can reasonably play one supplier off of five. But it isn't as great for the suppliers.

I wouldn't call that "two systems"; statically resolved type parameters are an extension of .NET generic parameters, not a separate system. In particular, a single definition can use both statically resolved and non-statically resolved parameters (e.g. in `let inline f x y = x + x`), and statically resolved type parameters can be used freely where normal .NET generic type parameters are expected (e.g. in `let inline g x = x + id x`). And these distinctions are fairly transparent to users in most cases anyway, since type inference is usually capable of inferring the kind of parameter needed.

In any case, it is true that F#'s type systems has concepts that the CLR doesn't natively support, but I don't see how this demonstrates any weaknesses in the CLR or F#. The exact same thing is true of Scala on the JVM, as far as I can tell - how are erased generics an improvement?
> Unless someone's poor enough to need a carrier plan to buy a smartphone - which, then again, they should avoid going into debt even more - then an unlocked phone is by far the cheapest option.

Really, you're characterizing anyone who relies on carrier plans to buy a $600 hunk of breakable, lose-able, consumer electronics as poor? Have you considered that their priorities for their immediate disposable income may lay elsewhere?
> Developers stereotypically glorify the ability and propensity to stay up all night grinding through a difficult problem. It’s part of our folklore. It’s part of how we’re measured.

No thank you to all that. I'm here to do good work and get paid, not be a hero. If you think this way, you are letting this happen to yourself. Your glorification of working late hours is nothing more than an open door to management exploiting you. That doesn't make you cool or tough or badass or a genius ninja rockstar, it makes you a mark.

Salaries in Europe << salaries in the US, but you have to take into account social security, cost of life, country culture,etc...

So although the question is very important, and you should get your answer, don't make any decision based on only that.

That's just my opinion.
No, he changes his country of origin to C then books a round trip from A to B. It is sometimes cheaper that way.
>In that case, no currency has intrinsic value.

I just gave you my definition of intrinsic value and explained exactly why the dollar has intrinsic value according to that definition. If you want to argue that what I said was wrong, you can either prove my definition is contradictory or useless, or you can prove the dollar doesn't fit the definition that I gave. Simply stating 'no currency has intrinsic value' suggests to me you didn't read, or didn't comprehend, my comment.

>If we went back to the days where I'd trade you 2 bags of rice for a fish, those things have value and other use.

Yes, so according to the definition of 'intrinsic value' that I gave, they have intrinsic value.

>If the world decided the USD was useless tomorrow, does "backed" mean you walk up to Capitol Hill and they will give you something in exchange for your dollars? Unlikely IMO.

'Backed' means the IRS is going to accept dollars in exchange for not prosecuting you for non-payment of taxes. That is the crucial point. People value not being prosecuted for non-payment of taxes. The state of being free from being prosecuted has 'intrinsic value' to people. The IRS, at least as of right now, guarantees people that if they pay the IRS the dollars the IRS says they owe the IRS, they will be free from being prosecuted for non-payment of taxes. If the IRS stopped taking dollars in exchange for guaranteeing people freedom from prosecution for non-payment of taxes, then dollars would cease to be backed by the US government. It is certainly true that not all people (like people living in foreign countries) have to worry about being prosecuted by the IRS in the first place. But there are millions upon millions of people who do have to worry about being prosecuted by the IRS. There are enough to establish that the dollar is backed by freedom from being prosecuted for non-payment of taxes.

So are they giving you something in exchange for your dollars? That depends on how you look at it. Either they're giving you freedom from prosecution in exchange for your dollars, or they're not taking your freedom from prosecution away from you. Whichever way you look at it, the argument is the same. To the extent that you believe the US government will continue to accept dollars in exchange for not prosecuting people for non-payment of taxes, you believe the dollar is backed by the US government.

>It's backed by debt that the Fed just creates out of thin air.

What does it mean for something to be backed by debt? Am I guaranteed to be able to buy the debt someone owes someone else with my dollars, like when banks sell mortgages to other banks?
Yes, you probably should do this - surprise billing will get you angry didn't-really-want-to-be customers and bad PR.

A nearly-zero-effort way to do this is to listen for the customer.subscription.trial_will_end webhook from Stripe - they'll send it to your app 3 days before the trial ends.
> Emacs supports inline graphics; you don't see the capability used all that often, but it certainly exists, and has done for quite some time.

Fwiw, it was added in Emacs 21 (2001): http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/New-...

Previously that had been one of the differentiators between GNU Emacs and XEmacs, the latter more enthusiastically adopting GUI-, image-, and mouse-related features. I believe XEmacs got inline-image support sometime in the mid-'90s, and showed it off by including a display of the XEmacs logo in the default startup buffer.

"Again, we already were in a world of HTML and CSS but the teams were blinded and would use excuses on how they can build a better render tree."

And toss in JS to get stuff done, too? Web frontend tech is quite a mess, and I can't imagine how anyone thinks it's not possible to design a better system from the ground up.

It might not be practical, and it might have traction issues, but working with WPF (XAML's just a serialization format...) was vastly easier than HTML and CSS.

SuperMicro doesn't sell pre-built machines. However, in the case of our small company, they have received the lion's share of the money we spent on high performance hardware in the past couple years, as we no longer buy pre-built machines for our cluster. We buy our desktops and laptops from Dell, though.

Borland and Digital Research put MS to shame back in the late 80s. (compilers and OS)

Then I got Linux around 95 and really liked it. MS API changes were maddening. (had been using a dozen other OSs, mostly *nix, at work the 2 or 3 years before that)

The last few years, I've had to interact with OSX, iOS & Android. It's not about open source vs closed, it's about "works" vs "sprawling, shifting, unreliable mess".

Perhaps MS's foibles would be more forgivable if it weren't perennially shoved down my throat as "industry leader". In what, crapware???
The US government can't reject them for "we don't like that country" reasons, because that's outside of the scope of its regulatory powers. Regulatory approval of acquisitions is based on competition considerations, not trade war considerations. If they rejected a deal for improper reasons, they'd get sued, and they'd lose.
Ah yes, a million armchair software project management experts were born with that one.
Regarding Amazon, i've been working with them closely on the marketplace for about 2yrs and i can say they are evil geniuses.

Their policy is:
- They know were flaws are (packaging, products, marketplace partnerships, deliveries, etc..) but still make nothing to fix them. They rather estimate that a certain amount of customers will complain and will just refund them with no questions, so everyone is happy.
- During this process, flaws expenses and drawbacks are thrown on third party partners so that financially they keep up.
- The result is that they look like the "wow" guys, partners take full responsibility.
- The more they become a monopoly, the more they can play this game.

Quite horrible, honestly.
