Both vim and emacs have had problems recently in balancing refactoring needs and their traditional architecture and project layout.

People are more and more used to contributing to projects with an occasional pull request. However to benefit from this, the projects have to become more accessible to these people. This makes all those changes that are introduced to neovim necessary. If tests are already beneficial for a developer who has written the codebase, the occassional contributor really depends on them.

Vim and emacs are projects that are of special strategical importance to the world. They must not vanish.

Well, judging from foreign policy and media the Americans have made those crowns for themselves for the past 80+ years.

I guess what the "American century" used to mean:

Facebook have got the 'Microsoft problem'. Microsoft is 'hated' by many people, especially in the tech community, because of their historical actions, even if many of their actions today are positive.

Facebook suffers the same fate. Anyone who has left Facebook over privacy concerns is unlikely to trust Facebook again.

It doesn't have to be that way, and waiting around for "someone else to handle it" will likely lead to a Tragedy of the Commons.

Call your representatives [US: 0,1] or regional government representative (I just called my senator, and on hold for house rep now), tell them we need an emergency crash program to develop new, tightly-regulated antibiotics so that infection doesn't become the leading cause of deaths in 2025. Because it takes years and billions to develop new antibiotics, this is something companies will not pursue on their own initiative. If not, it'll be a return to the 19th century. Good luck with that.

GDP PPP seems to be pretty useless for such comparisons. Nominal GDP should be used. According to the following three sources:

the crown of the world's largest economy belongs to the European Union (and has belonged for some time now).
Thanks for pointing this out. I thought I'd corrected this problem. I will fix this ASAP!
This is hyperbole. The DDT "ban" was on agricultural use. Many countries have continuously used DDT for malaria prevention, and some countries have successfully controlled malaria without any DDT at all.
When you say "You are wrong.", that indicates that you disagree. But the rest of your comment indicates that you agree. Could you clarify?
"It looks like it supports a long-time pain of being able to direct someone to download an app and then open a specific location within the app. You could now have a QR code that when scanned from a shop didn't just download the right app for the phone, but the applink would also describe what to open once the app is installed."

Is that what it actually does? If I have an iTunes url to my app can I imbed an argument to send to the app once it runs after being downloaded? I would have thought a standard requires implementation by apple for that to be the case.

Ive read the fb post, saw the f8 section and watched their video and I still don't know what it does. Maybe Im dim.

How do you "ban" a fast connection? How do you even define a fast(er) connection?
English words derived from French are usually longer then similar words derived from Anglo-Saxon. Bad or insecure writers and speakers, especially when they are members of the middle class, will often assume that using words with many syllables will make them sound smarter and more eloquent.

The police officer would prefer the first sentence because it has more syllables, not because it has many words derived from French. He would likely say that he "utilized" his training, instead of "used", even though "use" and "utilize" both derive from French.
The major drivers of housing supply / demand in SF are rent control and permitting, not short term rentals.

Well, I'd agree with the competition and replication. But that's the nature of business. Once you get good enough, others will use your work as an inspiration to outperform you or delete you out of the equation.

Outside of that, I never reached the volume where I had to worry about the pay outs myself.

But I have worked for companies that HAVE reached a VERY high volume (read: millions in affiliate sales) and they had no problem either, as long as a contract was signed outside of the regular affiliate program to control traffic, cost, etc. I think that's the only reasonable thing you can do: have a direct partnership with another company once the volume reaches a critical mass.

Having an alternative is, of course, a must-have. Or rather, like you said, diversification. Having multiple affiliates, multiple working relationships.

I don't agree with you on direct ad sales. It doesn't mitigate anything. It's the same deal as the rest of the advertising world, nothing special about it.
this seems crazy to me. how can any professional working today not use linkedin? When we get new employees into our office from the non-tech world and they don't have a linkedin profile, they are slightly mocked - like, let with the times buddy.
That's a funny point, but consider this: Land (along with regulation) is what limits the supply of housing in SF. If you transform a house to a hotel, then yes, it's true, the supply of housing has fallen. However, at the same time, the supply of hotels has risen. If the world equilibrates, then perhaps a hotel is torn down elsewhere and its land is freed up for housing. So I don't think it's necessarily the case that short-term rentals drive up the price of long-term rentals (but perhaps it is once you acknowledge that hotel rooms have higher density than AirBnB).

Also, it seems like this logic could apply to anything. Oh, you're building a Chipotle so that poor people can eat cheap food and earn money? Well that Chipotle takes up land, driving up rental prices. High rental prices means that people have less money and less of a budget for food. So the justification is: "San Francisco residents are so poor, they need the ability to become drive up prices and become even poorer!" But that seems a bit silly.
There are a couple dozen classes of antibiotics, of which penicillins and glycopeptides (vancomycin) are just two. Personally, I have just been through 4 classes while trying to fight cellulitis (a penicillin, 2 lincosamides, a sulfonamide, and a tetracycline). I was probably a day or two away from being hospitalized for IV glycopeptide treatment. In my case, the problem was the speed with which the infection was progressing; I had daily appointments with my orthopedist until we found the right combination. Still, there are a variety of antibiotics that can be tried, alone or in combination. There is only a fuzzy concept of "tiers". Its more about strength and side effects.
The primary source of antibiotic abuse is in farm animals.

Do you really want to help? Start eating less meat, and tell others to also do so. Tell them why. Tell them to also tell others. When there is less demand for meat, then there will be less land devoted to animal feed/grazing, and more to food crops. Less animals that can be infected, less antibiotics used, etc, etc.

Want to really help solve it? Don't eat meat. Get others to stop eating meat.

Invest in faux/lab-grown meat companies. Disease free meat can be grown. We just need to make it profitable.

Honestly, this is the future. Farming like this is unsustainable, not only for the antibiotic reasons.

(I'll spare everyone the ethical/transhumanist discussion.)
There's another reason to not be on LinkedIn, and that is that I don't need to be.
The most provable thing is that if you ever make the mistake of granting them access to your email account, everyone on your contact list can expect multiple spam messages FROM YOU begging them to join LinkedIn. It's the kind of thing only the shadiest of shady Facebook apps employ.

Harvesting of contact information even without permitted access is less clear cut but there's widespread concern due to the large number of questionable coincidences.

I'm often using different browsers on different devices and only some of them have NoScript installed, and from my experience I can tell that usually if something doesn't work without JS, it's perfectly visible that it's broken until you whitelist it. I can also tell via tiny toolbar that something is blocked on the site, so if it doesn't include lots of analytics or social media cruft then I usually just unblock it on any pages that focus on useful content.

Before I actually installed it, I had the same concerns like you described, but the reality showed that it's moot, and the advantages were even higher than expected, so I sticked with NoScript :)
This is what I was getting at. It opens you up to accusations of discrimination.

Background checks are different to researching a candidate. They are to check that the person doesn't have a hidden criminal record, for example. Researching their private lives crosses the line.

LinkedIn is different, yes, because it's intended as a professional network publicizing your work. But you better be up-front about looking their profiles up, and even then it's troublesome because profiles often include details you would never put on a resume - such as your photo.

I think you should be very careful about researching a candidate for anything beyond normal background/credit checks.
I'm confused about this part: "While Tuesday’s rulings appear to be good news for patent reform advocates, they also raise the question of whether they might undercut a major patent bill that is slated to be debated in the Senate on Thursday."

Sterilizing things you own is unlikely to help. You'd reduce any naturally acquired resistance, yet still remain vulnerable to getting infected from the entire world you cannot sanitize.
You're right in a sense; in TDD, you're basically saying a thing, and saying the inverse of a thing, and then making sure they line up. I find that my codebases are about 50% test code and 50% production code.

Your implication that this is wasteful is wrong, though. My production code is smaller when I work this way because I do more refactoring, and for projects that live longer than a month or two, I go faster.

By the way, TDD is absolutely in the same vein as design by contract and formal proofs. Both involve saying the same thing twice, in two different ways. TDD is a sloppier, more practical version of the same basic idea. See "Worse is Better."
Namely that it forces you to store your data in a shared service and design your app so that it can be destroyed at any time without severe consequences.

It also has primitives built in to get you thinking about fleets of machines instead of individual machines such as a default shared configuration and low level knowledge of the other machines in the fleet.

Lastly, since it is very Docker friendly, it gets you thinking in containers, which is a very neat way of making sure that your software is consistent across machines.
Best case scenario is that we find a way to get back in front of the mutations, but even that would just be buying time before the bacteria adapted again. On a long time scale, it's hubris to think we can stay in front indefinitely. We'd be better off improving our relationship with/attitude toward death on the whole.

While I generally favor a less-regulation approach, you're missing the core issue here: short-term rentals have a negative effect on neighborhoods because they change the incentives of the people living the house from those of a neighbor to those of a visitor. This is precisely what zoning regulations are designed to protect.

> How far does this line of thinking extend? What about small startups that work out of someone's house or apartment? They're doing commercial activity in an unzoned area, so that should be banned too.

The difference is that no one around the startup is going to complain because they aren't impacting their neighborhood negatively.

Short term rentals are decisions you make for your neighborhood without their consent. The feedback mechanism that would replace regulation on Airbnb is unfortunately limited to only the guests who stay, which are not all of the stakeholders affected by any means.

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER
>> i'm saying if you were in the store in 1950,

Well, here's the problem. In his framing, he got his in 1989, which is a different era from 1950. I had an older model (from the 70s) of the same rice cooker handed down to me when I started college, also in 1989. In 1989, these cookers were were already known to be simple and very reliable for a long time.

The framing is actually BS because the company that makes the OP's new rice cooker also makes a simpler rice cooker, that from a functional and esthetic perspective, is almost exactly like the one he replaced. He basically chose to buy the more complex one when a simple one was available, and that's on him, not the technology.

The OP's also being disingenuous when he says his new low end rice cooker won't last as long as his old high end rice cooker. I've had my digital Zojirushi for almost ten years, and I don't think it will have any problem lasting 15 more. The good rice cookers are built to last.

Topics do trend, and the various camps will quickly rush to author and promote things that conform with their worldview. Users will search for correlating content to submit.

But to address something that is a personal peeve -

"And from the author's perspective, whether they are writing it to take advantage of the opportunity for increased page-views."

Much of the content that we see on here are people writing about topics that motivate them. If they saw a post that they think is wrong and they want to refute it, or if they think it is right and want to add supporting commentary, they author posts to support their position.

The majority of these posts have no ads, which is good because it is catering to a market that overwhelmingly runs ad blockers. There is close to zero retention or residual value for audiences like HN: people click to your post, maybe read it (if that), and for the overwhelming majority that is the entirety of the relationship with the author.

You don't shoot to the tops of the blogosphere. You don't rake in those fat Adsense dollars. You get a momentary period in the sun to evangelize some beliefs.

Without meaning to cast aspersions, I often find it hard to trust technical commentary on the potential effects of controversial aspects of markets as anyone who really knows what they are talking about is very likely to have a financial incentive influencing what they are saying, no matter which side they are on or how level headed they try to be.

> Apparently logging in resurrects deleted accounts, no questions asked.

I had the same experience with Facebook.
I just thought that since I've had so many downvotes on this I'd expand a little.

Firstly, it's a clever piece of work - very inventive. I'm reminded of the Dr Seuss networking piece.

Secondly, it appears to be an accurate description of RSA. I've not checked it thoroughly - there didn't seem much point.

Thirdly, I don't have any objections to the piece, nor to it being here on HN. It is clever, it is cute, it is (probably) accurate. So it's entertaining enough, and pretty specific to hackers. It's not something that would appear on the news, so this is a natural home for it.

Then, having said all that, there's a problem with pretty much every description of cryptographic algorithms - they never go far enough!

With almost every description of an algorithm there are a myriad of extra things that you need to know. Clever things that are completely unobvious from the simple description, but which are critical for a sensible implementation, let alone a strong implementation, let alone a deployable implementation.

I know this isn't intended to be a complete, clear description of the RSA algorithm. I know it's just a bit of fun. I applaud the inventiveness and the verbal dexterity. It's just that it would be nice to see another verse or two that mentions - even if only in passing - the material that's been ignored, but which is equally important.

So it's nice to see it, I just wish it had gone further. Possibly I just really wish I were sufficiently gifted, talented, or hard-working to be able to add a verse or two to point at the next phase.

Oh, I agree, and research down that line is worth pursuing, but until we're at that point and Y is still important. The implications would be staggering, and no doubt mostly for the better. It could open up the ability to have children to so many couples who currently have few options, be they same sex, infertile, or whatever. The primary downside I can see in the short term is the effect it would likely have on adoptions.

That said, part of me would prefer is we didn't need to rely on non-built-in means to propagate. The idea of becoming utterly reliable on a particular piece of technology for our survival as a species isn't one I'm fond of.

Plausible for some, not others. I've seen LinkedIn suggest I connect to "people" that aren't people at all, but role addresses. E.g., reception@[my oral surgeon]. Others are email addresses that are ancient, 15 years old at least, or for domains that no longer exist.

No idea how they've gotten access to that, but I've never knowingly authorized a connection to my address books.

Depends on the job. I fully expect a web developer of any type to be able to set up and maintain a domain.

This has happened at HN for as long as I can remember. I generally like it, as I like the added depth and new viewpoints this tends to bring.

For what it's worth, I wrote this article on promises, but I didn't submit it today. I was surprised to see it show up here. So the trend is not always people trying to take advantage for their own benefit.
