Yeah. You are completely right. But I use VIM around 1.5 - 2 years and I become a Vim guy thanks to Akita config, not my own. Prepared config helps to start.
None of these things will be true if the current trend continues and the tech sector does move to the east bay in force.
You should also have a look 'vidir' from Joey Hess' moreutils [1]. I think it is very similar.

pushing 'http://www.theguardian.com' out for every link
adds to a lot of bytes up for a busy site

Fewer than you'd think after gzip compression:

$ curl -s http://www.theguardian.com/us | wc -c
223195
$ curl -s http://www.theguardian.com/us | \
sed s'~http://www.theguardian.com~~' | wc -c
215473
$ curl -s http://www.theguardian.com/us | \
gzip | wc -c
33783
$ curl -s http://www.theguardian.com/us | \
sed s'~http://www.theguardian.com~~' | gzip | wc -c
33554

They have 7.7k of extra html due to repeating "http://www.theguardian.com" for every link, but gzip compressed this is only a difference of 229 bytes.

The good.

I'm not sure how many games have done this, but the concept of the "cheater's island" came up somewhat recently -- I want to say Max Payne 3 did this first, but I'm not sure.

Basically, players who have been detected as cheaters only end up with other players who cheat. The problem is once you're on the island, you're probably not getting out.

I personally favor this solution over the outright banning of players.

The article mentions tax consultants, which is a really nice exampe of a totally useless job. We need a certain amount of tax revenue in order to pay for collective stuff. But nobody wants to pay more than they have to, so they hire a tax consultant. End result: society still has to pay the same amount of taxes (because they get adjusted so revenue still matches the need), plus the cost of these tax consultants. With an easier tax system and no consultants, we'd all be cheaper off.

> Bank notes that cannot be exchanged for gold at fixed rate are recent invention

Keep in mind that the ostensibly "fixed" rates were adjusted time and again --- effectively they were floating rates, just not as real-time as today, but in very.. slow.. motion.

Also -- pretty sure they existed before at times and places from time to time. Probably never lasted well over 40 years before 1971 though. Brilliant move really, US, stuff the world with countless "redeemable" notes, then cancel redeemability :D

That said, there is no law of nature that dictates that state treasuries should forever remain vulnerable to runs on their vaults. Even if they never inflate the paper, just by honestly trying to maintain a fixed paper=gold exchangability, the populace / debtor countries will always pay taxes / debts in paper and otherwise exchange their excess paper for the treasury's gold, until it's all gone.

Countries and empires have gone through this time and again for centuries before "Nixon put an end to it" so to speak, and it didn't exactly crash the world (after a little bit of turbulence for a few years) or hamper economic growth or hinder technological innovation ever since. 43 years with some "financial crisis" regularly roughly every turn-of-decade (but those existed ever since "finance" as such began if we're honest)..

The fixed-rate regimes were always conned by governments/treasuries sooner or later, so a floating rate really seems the more honest alternative and look, it kinda-sorta 'evolved' to that end after all! Turns out, that paper can be redeemed in metal for those few who really do still care about it is more important to them than the exact rate ---a true gold-bug cares not about it's "fiat price"!--- and this way, the central banks can keep their own stuff which they're heavily into themselves and send people off to the mines and markets. Not such a bad deal for all, after all.
Duolingo Raises $20M Series C
I think the term "Single Page App" is a bit deceiving in usage sometimes. My idea of a SPA is one where the client downloads the bulk of the application code on first page load, and then only talks to the server with data-based API calls (JSON usually). The predownloaded client then just renders that data, rather than downloading an entire new template to render on the whole screen.

This interface style does not require any visual page refreshes to load new content, but it also still can support routing and deep-linking.

Does anyone have insight into russia's possible role in all this? It does seem to give them a very handy excuse to consolidate their cherished buffer zone.

As others have pointed out, the (regional) expectation may be that the subject is living at home with their parents (rent / utilities), that there's state-provided healthcare and education (debt). At this income level you might not be paying much income tax, either.

~30% of my post-tax take-home goes to rent, which is pretty typical in the US. If I didn't have to pay that, I'm sure I could save a bunch more!
Thanks, I just bought that for the Kindle for a few dollars. Another book in a similar vein is "The Currency Wars" which I really enjoyed, and then shared with my family. TLDR: the financial system is rigged to make the rich richer; getting off a fiat currency would in general (and long term) help 99% people. BTW, it still blows my mind that so many friends think the US economy is so great right now, ignoring the $3 trillion in money created out of nothing in the last few years; sure stock and home prices were maneuvered higher.
"Well, after struggling for a year and if your second year salary is still RMB 2,000, then that means you have not grown as a person. You should be really ashamed of yourself. Do yourself a favour and go to the supermarket and buy the hardest tofu. Take it and smash it on your head because you deserve that."

The supermarket is fresh out of hard tofu...
First person shooters are split, part server and part client. For example, an enemy comes in range of you, your cheat automatically triggers a "shoot at the precise direction of their head" command to be send to the server. The server does not check if you were actually facing that direction, it does not check if you actually turned to face them in a manner that a human could. So things like aimbots are common where you literally click "next target" and it cycles through all the enemies heads. There is really no way to prevent this kind of cheating. Slower paced RPG style games where you just send "attack target with ability X" can be handled entirely server side. As we start seeing more fast paced action style MMOGs and fewer "computer reproduction of pen+paper+dice" style MMOGs the line gets blurred and more impossible to deal with cheats become problems.
Yeah I was impressed, I dug into the code a little to see how they accomplish this. They store a sqlite database in ~/.config/massren that contains the rename history and other configuration options. Pretty slick! The app is written in very readable Go.

> Individuals haven't been able to convert notes to hard currency

In the US! Well, the rest of the world had other worries back then anyway, and after WW1 + WW2 most of the world's gold was on US soil thanks to trade flows and custody deals and debts etc etc. Hard to keep a gold standard when all the gold is with one party for all intents and purposes ;)
I'm pretty suspicious of using runit instead of Upstart- nobody tests Ubuntu with runit, and you're liable to get in trouble if you depend on some other service running on the machine. Although clearly it works well enough for them.

I also sort of suspect that the closer you are to running a full distribution in your containers, the less benefit you're getting from the containers.
I can have a dozen ideas per day.

And that's why they're close enough to worthless to not bother qualifying the descriptor. They're easy to make, and if you don't do anything with any of them (which amounts to darned near 100% of all of them) they're worthless. Think of all the otherwise useful stuff you throw out because one piece is missing: an idea without execution is destined to the mental trash bin.
This reminded me of the fact that I havent handled, or even touched, real paper money for at least a year now. Here in Iceland paper currencly is slowly being phased out, and has been for a few years.
Those links are really an excellent place to start. Patrick (patio11) and Thomas Ptacek (tptacek) have also talked extensively about this in HN comments, and as far as I know are open to questions by email.

Two things that I can emphasize off the top of my head are:

1) It is easier to sell features, or weeks of effort, as opposed to billable hours. Billing by the hour is asking for nitpicky accounting. Bill by the week, or by the project (if you are confident about scope and effort) and you can simply exchange money for delivered value.

2) If you "hire" someone as a subcontractor, they are effectively trading some of their earning potential for paycheck security and not having to deal with rainmaking. This is similar to the deal a day job offers. Hopefully they understand this, but you should definitely understand this. You will be absorbing the bulk of the risk and responsibility. Relative pay should reflect this.
this comment seemed unnecessarily mean :(

Actually, the critiques do apply to bitcoin. Perhaps if:

- bitcoin's biggest user wasn't a douchebag who thinks its ok to hire hitmen to kill people
- mtgox didn't have so much trouble staying online
- the currency wasn't so volatile
- there was some way of storing bitcoin with a guarantee that you'll get fully refunded if it gets stolen

...then perhaps this satire would make some sense. As it is, the 'satire' is just making the authors look like idiots.

That's when you need to look back, and not just focus on the most popular complained-about things, but also look at the qualitative feedback you're getting, and they to synthesize commonalities between different lines of feedback. Like another commenter said, sometimes feedback will help you reach a local maximum, but you need to infer /why/ complaints come in the first place, now just what people are complaining about, to know where to go next. If you have so many complaints and there's no clear direction, either you're at the nitpicking phase, or there are larger problems that you haven't identified yet.

If your current tagging system isn't helping you, flip the axis on which you're tagging to see if new patterns emerge. (area of complain on your product, versus types of tasks users are trying to achieve, for example.)
RoboVM is very promising. I bookmarked it some time ago, but unfortunately i don't see any progress since then. For example there are still no any documentation.

Im not a fan of bitcoin. But it cannot be in two wallets at the same time. If you deposit money in a bank it no longer is in your wallet but starts being a number on a screen. You transfer the money to the banks wallet. Then the bank can lend it to others by transferring it to their wallets.

I think the biggest obstacle for bitcoin is that it is not a legal tender and it will not be because it comes with one to many sacrifice. You lose ability to have independent monetary policy while not getting benefits of a fixed currency.
But, but, you just said how to prevent it! "Check if you actually turned to face them..." would work just fine?
Ouch! I missed it then.
This article tries to answer the wrong question. It just iterates the Industrial Age 'You got to have a proper job to be a valuable member of society.' meme.

That's the same fallacy most socialists succumb to. Because their ideas are so deeply rooted in the concept of jobs and employment they can't even envision a future in which most people make do without a proper job.

The real question isn't: "How will we still be able to keep employees chained to their jobs in the future?" but: "How will we manage to liberate people from doing meaningless bullshit jobs?"

The answer to the former question would be: "Of course: Have them buy even more useless trinkets and gadgets so they still have to work their asses off."

An answer to the latter could be some sort of basic income.

I'm not saying at all that luxury goods are inherently bad. However, the value of time has to be put into perspective.

While time is the most valuable luxury good many people frivolously spend it on the ability to buy essentially useless consumer goods. Currently, most people simply can't say 'Look boss, I don't need so much money anyway so I'd much rather work for 20 hrs / week. OK?' so they just spend their disposable income for things they don't actually need. The income's at your disposal anyway so why not just spend it on gadgets in order to make up for the time lost while earning this income?

In my opinion, this is a vicious circle humanity in the long run needs to break out of if we want to be truly free.
There Are 7 Billion Mobile Devices On Earth, Almost One For Each Person
Oh, yes - I certainly agree that St4k is a lot faster than Stack Overflow, but I'm not sure quite whether to attribute that to exactly what's happening on the server (remember that the real SO will have load several orders of magnitude greater), fewer 'requirements' (e.g. no analytics?), more efficient markup, or specifically loading markup via AJAX+JSON rather than the 'normal' web route.

I'm surprised there's such (15/1) a difference between the HTML and JSON versions of the same data. Both add their own syntactic cruft, but I wouldn't expect the weight of the markup to be that much greater than the equivalent JSON, unless it's being implemented horribly inefficiently (e.g. very verbose class names, inline styling, DIVitis). I'm suspicious about that 15/1 figure.

All in all, though, this is an interesting approach. Nothing radically new, but definitely good to see a solid proof of concept that we can all relate to. I particularly like the way this gets around any api throttling limits since the St4k server isn't doing the communication with SO, it's all happening client->server, much as if one were just browsing SO as normal. Is there a term for this? It's not quite a proxy, since it's not 'in the middle', but more 'off to the side, not interfering directly, merely offering helpful advice' :)
