They're making an enabling technology which can solely be used for stealing. Seems like piracy to me.
On the contrary, I think that we haven't exploiting sequential machines to their full potential, and what's "holding us back" is all this theoreticism and overabstraction. There likely is a point where concurrency is really necessary, but one only has to look at the demoscene, full of people who have never formally studied CS, to see something closer to what hardware can really do -- and then wonder how so many others working in software, with formal backgrounds and extensive education in CS, couldn't.

Bohemian Wars: The story of the company behind Arma and DayZ
I tried it. For now it just behaves the same as normal Vim. Most of the work done is indeed under the hood. They are refactoring the codebase so that it will be easier to create plugins, extentions and to use Neovim inside other apps.
As a designer, I find command line apps to have exceeding beauty. Design is all about stripping away the unnecessary and producing effective work. Doesn't get much more minimal than that.
Almost all licenses require attribution, at least at the file level.
I assume OP is from the commonwealth. Don Bradman is a household name here
I've only seen his original post on it [0] - not sure if anything had changed since then.

For selfish reasons I'm behind neovim but I can see that it puts Bram in a bad position, which is unfortunate. He's done so much work for all of us (vim users), and ultimately this project just adds to the work he has to do (and makes it even more thankless). He'll be dealing with incompatibility issues between plugins trying to support both systems.

Ultimately, I guess he'll have to make a choice as to which codebase to support, by choosing neovim he's deserting everyone on esoteric systems. I think that may be the best outcome; Neovim becomes the new standard, Bram switches over and leaves vim to die. But then what control does he have?

It's one of those situations, it seems like a good idea, and could be a massive net win. Then again, it could also really destroy the project.

Selling on WrapBootstrap: The good and the bad

Norman French speaking people. Normandy had been heavily colonised by the Norse, just as Anglo-Saxon England had, and left it quite different to French. Harold had as many connections to Scandanavian royalty as William.

Attempts to Latinise Englist are still going strong; any time you hear some folk grammaticist inveigh against split infinitives as "bad English", you're hearing someone who is continuing the 19th Century efforts to Latinise the languae.

In french there is a common pattern where words lost an "s" while a vowel gained a circumflex. i.e. hospital -> hôpital, forest -> forêt, etc. I'm guessing hostel -> hôtel is another example of that pattern.
That's a good image. The key difference to Mercurial is then that Mercurial's tree of commits don't need Post-it notes. The tree can stand on its own without extra branch labels. You can add them (see bookmarks) but they're an optional feature.
The lack of Netflix in Australia really frustrates me. Id pay for it gladly and happily, but I can't, despite living in a first world country that has a very high amount of discretional spending (consider we pay twice what everyone else does, taking into account exchange rates, for software) and the highest rate of copyright infringement in first world countries. Sigh.
Bram has said very little. He, IMHO, massively underestimates the communities desire to contribute... Neovim simply tapped in to a community desperate to improve a project they love, and finding no good options on howto do so.

As for "getting behind it if it succeeds" lets hope not! I was a financial supporter of Neovim. I also have run the #vim channel on FreeNode for over a decade. They serve different goals.

Neovim is where "big changes" can happen, gut legacy support, move fast, break shit. It is on Github, it has multiple people doing major contributions, it is being re-factored to make it easier for MORE people to get involved. Neovim wants to be a huge community project, which is awesome.

Vim is -- the default on many systems, shipped with fully working vi compatible mode, has literally millions and millions of users. It can not -- by its nature -- move fast and break shit. Vim has a much, older, slower development process -- from the days well before Github and friends... it might slowly open up -- but not much, because again, millions depend on it. This is also, awesome.

I hope the very best ideas, once they are tested, debugged, and tested again will make their way up from Neovim to Vim, but it will be a very slow process. Neovim gives no thought to Vim -- because it can't -- it has to be its own thing to move forward. Vim gives no thought to Neovim yet -- it is an established, dependable, amazing tool... and Neovim has not yet risen to the point to even be worthy of a response.

"but I think throwing out math as a tool for understanding computing is very premature given its success as a tool for building and understanding abstraction"

But the problem with mathematics is that it doesn't deal with time. This may (in a sapir-whorf fashion) be limiting our understanding of the universe (see Lee Smolin's Time Reborn). But even if the universe is actually timeless in many circumstances it still does not suit us to model it like that. We can have some timeless physical law expressed mathematically (say F=ma) and if we know all the initial conditions in a fairly pure environment we can predict the state of the system at any time. But this kind of system is useless in many real world situations. For example we don't build a control system for a robot or a car based on this kind of thinking. We don't try and predict the state of the world. We just treat it as a stateful system that changes and we keep reading those changes and then try and behave accordingly - Its all I/O and state. Similarly our brains in order to be efficient do hardly any calculation, instead its a massive cache against which we pattern match (see "On Intelligence"). As Leslie Lamport's state:. "Computer scientists collectively suffer from what I call the Whorfian syndrome the confusion of language with reality. Since these devices are described in different languages, they must all be different. In fact, they are all naturally described as state machines. "
Control of your audience, first and foremost: the mainstay of the movie business. If you can convince someone to sit still and watch your art for up to 2 hours at a time, you've got an audience. If you can't, you've lost the audience.

Its an artistic thing - do you have access to, and can you know about, your audience? This has got to be better than not knowing and not having any control whatsoever - or worse, allowing someone else to have your audience (which is what happens with piracy).

But of course, with lawyers and accountants running the show, where they haven't quite figured out how to rate eyeballs in a spreadsheet without having $$-signs around, its no surprise that they're missing this opportunity.

Imagine if Universal embraced Popcorn Time and called their fork "Universal Popcorn Time", and modified it such that their catalog was entirely available.

Why I hope they don't just stay rogue? Because having a self-sustainable, transparent industry that actually tries to protect users benefits everyone in the long-run.

Creators would accept such an industry because they could do what they love for money, and users would accept it because they would obtain entertainment while knowing where the money they spend goes, and knowing that the work will go to the public domain after a reasonable amount of time.

The refactorings thus far have been specifically aimed at making Neovim work better for /developers/. Which in turn will make it better for the users.

A very good way of thinking.
especially given that computing as a field started as an attempt to understand some deep questions about the foundations of mathematics.

I believe that computing started as an attempt to solve real problems, and maths just happened to be the one that people wanted to work on the hardest because, quite frankly, no one wanted to do arithmetic and algebra all day long. A "computer", just like "calculator", used to be a human.
The problem is that forums aren't the ideal medium for collecting knowledge: how many times something you're looking for is buried in a 500 page topic, between non relevant, troll or deleted posts.

IPv6 adoption on its own is pretty meaningless.. I suspect it had more to do with economics than tech.

This is total guesswork.. But here goes.. Japan likley invested heavily in IPv6 because their economy is very tech driven, the risks of running out of IPv4 or even being viewed as "behind" were likely the driving factors IMO
Yes, they are merged. The Facebook guys have been doing a great job optimizing things all over the place (revsets in particular).

You're of course right - I'd entirely forgotten about the later wave of French influence.

Of course that also to a large extent spread via the upper classes first and foremost..

There's a saying I first heard about Danish - a bastardisation of a quote often misattributed to Charles V - about how aristocrats would read Latin in books or use it at court, speak French to the ladies, German to his dog, and would only speak Danish to servants.

The exact set of languages (and animals...) differ in different versions of the saying, but generally it puts Spanish, Italian or Latin at the "top", then French, German and sometimes finally a local language.

What to you mean by "cryptic"? Something you struggle with? An abstraction?

You're not used to maps, folds, and filters (the bulk of sequence comprehension), so they don't free up your brain power. But seriously, they're not complicated, and using them instead of regular loops often reduce the amount of code by a factor of 3 to 5. Simple code, where the same idioms come back over and over —just like in regular loops, only shorter.

Don't tell me that doesn't free brainpower, eventually.

Changeset evolution has some similarities with a distributed reflog. Like Git, commits are immutable in Mercurial and we can only "change" a commit by creating a new version and then hide the old version. Mercurial "hides" the old version today by stripping it from the repository — the old version is then stored in a bundle in the .hg/strip-backups folder.

This is far from optimal, so a first step was to add a concept of hidden commits. Hidden changesets have been part of core Mercurial for some time now. The evolve extension enables it and actually changes commands to use it. So "hg commit --amend" will normally strip the old commit, but when evolve is enabled, it will instead hide it. This is both faster and safer.

The next step is the introduction obsolete markers. These are small markers that tell you when a commit is succeeded by a better version. When you amend a commit, an obsolete marker will be created that say "the new version obsoleted the old version". This information is something that Git doesn't store, and it is by distributing these markers that we can make Mercurial more intelligent. As an example, if I amend a commit that you have already based work on, then evolve will know that it should rebase your work onto the successor I created. It will tell you about this when you pull from me and get the new version along with the obsolete marker. Your commits will be called "unstable" as that point, meaning that they are descendants of a commit marked obsolete (they descend from the commit I amended and thus marked obsolete). You can run "hg evolve" and it will figure out that it should run "hg rebase" behind the scenes.

Seen like this, I would say evolve is similar to what happens in Git when you edit history, but with some extra meta data that will allow you to edit shared history with confidence.

Have a look for yourself: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commits/master.

The code base is now about half of the original size (removed support for legacy OSes, swap all native IO abstractions for libuv, removed dead code, etc). They also split the 25Kloc files called things like misc2.c into multiple files and neovim uses cmake instead of a slew of hand written make files with two decades of commented out hacks. Work on a vimscript -> lua compiler (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/243) is underway as well as the new RPC plugin stuff (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/582).

neovim is sticking with the standard fixed terminal as the 'main interface', but is building a better/easier way to communicate with external processes. That way a non-terminal Vim plugin can open up extra windows for minimaps, etc.

Ideally, this would mean you could have a vim "server" (for lack of a better term) on your dev VM, or where-ever, and local "client" windows on your actual workstation which displays beautiful helptexts, minimaps, code trees, etc.

How much is 97% of 100, approximately?
There are two differences. The first is that you have to replace "preconceived notions of how the universe works" with "vast body of experimental data and scientific understanding of how the universe works". Our evidence for how physics works vastly outweighs current parapsychology research results. The second difference is that the evidence is not being ignored (at least by the author of the article), but is being taken to indicate a real effect, it just isn't the effect of psychic powers. Our knowledge of physics means that the existence of psychic powers is given a much lower prior probability than the possibility of widespread experimental error and bias. Since both explanations are likely to produce slight positive results, the existence of psychic powers is still unlikely once you take the evidence into account.

However, the important point in the article is that in order to make this inference in an intellectually honest way, you need to significantly increase your estimation for the probabilities of widespread experimental error in ALL scientific studies that use similar methods. Since the methods in parapsychology are pretty good, this has quite a far reaching effect.

In a sense, your question about "on what grounds can people claim one field to be nonsense but not others?" is exactly the same question asked by the author. Except the author isn't implying that parapsychology isn't nonsense, they are implying that many other fields are nonsense too. This makes sense because physics is almost certainly not nonsense.
