Replace "paragraph" with "surround" (vim-surround), "argument" (argtextobj) or "indent" (vim-indent-object) then, which compose brilliantly with (c)hange/(d)elete + count + (i)nside/(a)round.
>if your neck gives you problem with the "chording" you use in Emacs (lots of cases with multiple keys pressed down at once), then Vi's modes would be helpful.

If the goal is to eliminate the need to hold down a key while pressing another key, turning on "sticky keys" would a lot easier than adapting to a different text editor.

"Sticky keys" is available as an option (usually accessed via Settings > Accessibility) in OS X, Gnome 2, the Linux console, Windows and probably other environments (though ISTR some bugginess in how it worked in Windows the one time I test-drove it in Windows).

Source: I have been using sticky keys with Emacs (on OS X, Gnome 2 and the Linux console) for the last 15 years or so.

Agreed, I noticed a downvote and was concerned that I had unintentionally angered someone. Mass downvoting in this thread to push your name to the top is seriously inappropriate behavior.
This passage is fascinating. Each sentence, beginning half wisdom marred by its finish of sarcastic cajolery. I'm very confused, in a good way.

When I was at school physics A level was done by most people who wanted to do Medicine.
I get the intention of all these these scrapers-type comparison/search sites, and all the best with the venture - having had a quick look things are very tidy and well organised, but I always feel they miss the root cause of their existence; wouldn't it be much better to develop a central site with a client API so that all these diverse organisations can submit their job apps straight into the mix?

Establishing harmony among competitive organisations can be difficult - but these are all tech/design companies so they should 'get it' to some degree, and it's not as if they are giving away secrets - a centralised, standardised portal would just make life much easier to engage with talent - especially if there's a standardised application form instead of a mess of different online/word versions all wanting the same information but in different order or structure - that drove me mad when I was job hunting a few months back; I suppose it indicates commitment making someone slog through 'yet another' document format, but spending 4+ hours on 4 different applications, with multiple cuts and pastes AND dealing with fill-in lines created using rows of underscores (aargh!) is soul destroying. There's also the implication that one should print, fill-in, scan to PDF and email back but..seriously!?

If anything needs 'disrupting' its online job applications - I know there are a few sites that handle such things, but most of the ones I have seen belong to specific sectors (public health, military etc.) or just one large company.

Wired Sussex is an example of progress in this respect:

http://www.wiredsussex.com/

Perhaps phase #2 could be to get all the target companies to agree you can host a standard application form that users could pre-populate and save to use as a template for specific job applications, tweaking things here and there as needed to highlight specific skills (or let users build a custom submission from pre-saved building blocks). It would really save a lot of time.

..anyway, good luck!
The accepted answer is somewhat behind the times. Now the best way to secure a private ssh key is using the the new format utilizing bcrypt's kdf[1] added to OpenSSH 6.5[2].

The new format makes it significantly harder (read: slower) to crack private keys, something much needed.

I've been using the new key format with ecdsa and ed25519. It's worth nothing that and some things like GNOME Keyring's ssh-agent don't support the format just yet, so things like ssh-add to the agent appear to fail and I haven't looked any deeper yet.

This language was inspired by Haskell, however it is unfortunately more verbose. Consider:

fun mp [a] [b] (f : a -> b) : list a -> list b =
let
fun loop (ls : list a) =
case ls of
[] => []
| x :: ls' => f x :: loop ls'
in
loop
end

Which in Haskell would be:

map :: (a->b) -> [a] -> [b]
map _ [] = []
map f x:xs = (f x):(map f xs)

Or this notation for lists:

2 :: 3 :: 4 :: []

Cf Haskell:

What's funny is that the Rules of Engagement for the US Army are a million times more strict than the local police force.

My buddy fought in the Battle of Wanat[1], and had to watch helplessly as insurgents moved into position with weapons, in plain view. He was not permitted to fire, unless fired upon.

I certainly wish the police would adopt that aspect of the military.

The nice thing about something that works well on low end phones, it works awesome on high end phones :)

Although its not necessarily something you get for free, since we havent optimised for higher end devices you can get to a point where you have too many active apps open and chew battery, there are probably other places it can improve, but it does perform nicely on higher end devices.
agreed 100%. Too bad the perverse Christian morality pf altruism has so infected our world that even to a person such as myself such a rational paragraph sounds a bit sarcastic
In the 1800s, most chess was much more aggressive, and it was frowned upon to reject an offered exchange of pieces. Consequently, games were faster, moves were riskier, and everything was arguably more interesting.

In other words, modern humans have been playing in dull, more reliable ways for over a century, so even if not sore loserish, it's at least a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
I first encountered steno'd captions in person at Google's TGIF and it was awesome even for the non-hearing-impaired. You get a few seconds of scrollback in case you miss a word, which is easy to do at large gatherings.

The only thing that seems to be missing from the !!Con transcripts are timestamps. I'm not familiar with Plover so it might already be a feature, but being able to output one of the standard subtitle formats (SubRip, timed text, SSA) would make remuxing an MP4/MKV of each talk with subtitles much easier.
Hm, that page doesn't provide a PGP key for the iwanttohack address, neither is there one on pgp.mit.edu. :( I do find two keys of you personally on pgp.mit.edu, 0x1DBE9880 from 1999 with an mit.edu address and 0x6BA33506 from 2000 with a mindspring.com address, but none with a duckduckgo.com address. Typically public keys that old without a contemporary e-mail address are no longer in use and the corresponding private key has often been lost.

It would be nice if you could make a new key available (RSA with 3072 or 4096 bit) for either the iwanttohack address or your own address, and preferrably link to it on your hiring page. It would underscore your privacy credo and help you stand out from the crowd. (Sadly, even here in the HN Who's Hiring thread, few people have a PGP key and even fewer include it in their job postings.)
Even though my hearing is fine, I'd love to see something like this!

Sometimes the acoustics of the room are bad, or there's background noise, or maybe you just missed a word and need to have it repeated. All of these problems would be solved by this system.

This kind of thing would benefit all conference goers.

From my understanding, the intent of this posting seems to be about startups connecting with HN readers. With your links, I feel like it's advertising for those companies and these companies aren't genuinely interested in hiring us. If they would be, they would post there. From what I have seen so far, these companies just posted their jobs at your wfh.io and this seems like a growth hack attempt to get traffic on wfh.io.
His point on grit really hits home for me.

As a kid, I was always in the 99th percentile of any standardized test. People complimented me on being smart, but smart isn't something you can control, so I learned tricks to maximize how smart I appeared. That included jumping in to anything that came naturally to me and avoiding anything else. I basically never learned to work at anything, to endure frustration, to sit with failure and get past it.

People meant well, I agree with the author: the common notion of genius as something innate and magical is toxic. By all means, make sure kids are properly challenged. But we should do it for every kid.
This is really sad because I clearly remember all the way back to high school calculus class and again in college that we spent a lot of time with the definition of the derivative, deriving the rules before applying them, and having that whole business be on the test along with the regular plug-and-chug problems. It was at a liberal arts college. Roughly half of the math majors were headed into high school teaching, the other half were double majors with some other STEM discipline.
> hand wave

You are are hand waving that 7th grade students
are not yet ready for 5th and 6th grade work.

Why the heck not?

If we take your hand waving seriously, then
there are problems much more difficult and serious
than elementary probability.

I have no patience with your assumption: If
I had a child in such a class, they'd be home
with home schooling or some such alternative before the teacher first
touched chalk to the board. No patience at all.
Can't build a strong house on a rotten foundation.

The school I went to expected the students to keep
up with the right material. I have no patience with
lowering the standards to meet poor students.

> understanding the comparison is what makes probability useful in everyday life

Where can one get the really strong funny stuff someone
needs to be smoking to assume that such a triviality is "useful"? That "comparison" is just triviality
from trying to bend education down to students
not ready for 7th grade work. You are welcome to
pursue such things if you want, but any of my
children would be out'a there and home schooled,
charter schooled, privately schooled, etc. in a
nanosecond. The teacher, the principal, and the
school board would all hear from me loud, clear
messages.

There are some good reasons for a local school board:
Parents can scream bloody murder at incompetence and
trivialities. E.g., my father in law was on his
local school board, and my wife was Valedictorian,
PBK, Woodrow Wilson, 'Summa Cum Laude', two years
of NSF fellowship in one award, and Ph.D. There wasn't
a lot of patience with grotesque incompetence.

My father got transferred to a new city and for a house
first he looked at the schools. He picked what was
by a wide margin the best school in the city and then
picked a house in the district of that school. It was
a decently good school although could have been
much better.

We need much less patience with incompetence. "No
child left behind" can't be permitted to mean
leaving all the children behind.
Or you could just tell them they're not geniuses or prodigies, then they'll follow everything you just said perhaps without having to say it.
Oh yeah I've learned a lot of my English from TV show with subtitles. Some countries (Russia) always dub English shows and moves while others like Romania pretty much never dub and most always just write subtitles. I think that account for %-wise more Romanian young people speaking better English.
I have been actively "hacking" in android and I never felt the need to change stuff on my /system partition. /data is the one where you need to change stuff.

As noted in other place here and in the article, most of these technologies could be useful and good. Unfortunately they can also be easily abused, turning into very very bad. The question isn't whether there could be good, it's if the good outweighs the bad. And if it's close, it needs to be regulated and watched to be kept in check. I agree that the scanning could be helpful in many ways, helping find amber alerts, people with warrants, etc. It could also be very bad though, so we need to be careful.
