This, more than anything. It's easy to get bogged down in a large code base and lose sight of what you're trying to accomplish. Cue the anxiety at that point, and watch your tasks become even more difficult. Your note that "it's all just code" is absolutely perfect: you just have to trust in your experience and knowledge. Figuring it all out from there is just a matter of tracing things out a point at a time.

The really cool thing about that is that it's really no different than how we handle other new experiences in our lives. Nobody walks into something new and just knows what to do. Without even consciously realizing it, we make observations and draw inferences as we relate those observations to previous experience that allow us to make better-informed judgments. And thousands of years of evolution have made us rather good at this.

You already have the skills to jump into the deep end without being immediately overwhelmed, it's just a matter of applying them successfully.

Should be obvious, but think it's pretty rare for frontend / designer types to use Vim.

/me Looks around and notices that I'm a designer.

OK. Proposition. I've always wanted to a really nice tutorial / guidebook for Vim. I however, am not someone familiar with the guts of Vim, Vimscript and mostly just implement packages and pick up stuff as I go. If there is a coder-type person out there that is interested in working on the more technical bits, I'd be happy to style up the documents and make it presentable. I have experience writing, making videos and styling technical docs. You can see my work at http://www.webhook.com

Also, I should say I don't think this FAQ is a good intro to Vim. I think a better way to do it would be to present a chapter by chapter guide that gives people very easy earlier wins. To me, that means you focus on package installation and configs first, and then start working on movement and more advanced packages. Get people hooked on customization first, because the movement stuff takes weeks of brain training. At the end of the day I love Vim because I can make it whatever I want.
Did you check out the SVG comparing telescope sizes that batbomb posted? The short answer is "you can build 'em a lot bigger" (or maybe "you can build 'em a lot cheaper" if you prefer).

But even for backend access. The price is way up there for something this simple. That much talent shown in the video should probably be capable of bringing down the cost close to $35 or maybe even less.

Exactly. Dosage relative to weight matters when drawing conclusions.

Its easy to read articles/papers like the OP link and be alarmed, but the three biggest risk factors with Ritalin (and similar drugs) is that the dose is appropriate for weight, the dosage is scheduled properly and sleep.

If the dosage schedule is above the half life of the medication, and blood level is still high at +12 hours later then neurons will get "burned" and lost.

Don't sleep for the required hours and schedule, neurons get "burned" as well.

This is also why recreational crystal meth [1] is very bad for the brain. Crystal meth overloads the neurons and definitely not equivalent to Rx Ritalin as intelligently prescribed.

You have it backwards. The problem that we have today is a result of not letting the free market be free 70+ years ago.

Well, okay, but absent a time machine, you can't fix that. Any solution that starts with "well you should have thought of that before" has already failed. Mistakes happen; a system that can't tolerate mistakes is a system designed to fail.

And in this case, it was the actors within the market (the dealers) that decided to make the market less free. They did it out of their own perfectly rational self-interest, and damn the consequences. Something like that is always happening, will always be happening. The "free market" is always full of actors working to make it less free.

Bologna! They didn't force anything! ... GM needed it's dealers to sell their cars.

"Do what I want, or face an existential threat" is pretty much the dictionary definition of "force." The big auto makers were able to do this sort of cram-down because they apparently didn't value their dealers.
Milton has an interesting (and rather convincing) argument on free-market monopolies.

i spent 2-3 days a week for 9 months volunteering at habitat for humanity so i could learn construction. i loved it when we unrolled the blueprints and discussed the work for the day. changes were constant due to so many little unanticipated issues (bugs) and we sometimes temporarily marked up the drawings by hand with notes from the architects/engineers rather than waiting for official blueprint updates. plangrid seems like a great solution for this use case. my concerns would be around the fragility of tablets on a construction site and of adoption and use by construction workers. plus it was so fun to turn those huge pages and see a whole new perspective on the project. =)

Last time I was looking, plenty of offices in Mountain View were on the order of $40 to $80. For the areas away from Caltrain, it got down to $30-40. This was 2012-2013, though, so it's entirely possible prices have gone up since then.

The real problem is everyone wants proximity to both 101 and Caltrain, which limits you to an exceptionally small area and small number of commercial buildings.

(I went in with some friends on warehouse space on Treasure Island last month, for about $12/ft with free 3ph power...finally going to have a decent hardware lab.)

You cannot directly convert mouse to human doses. For this, you need to calculate HED[1] (Human Equivalent Dosage). Using your numbers:

HED (mg/kg) = Animal Dose (mg/kg) x [Animal Km / Human Km]

We use 3 for mice and 25 for human (child)

HED = 10 x ( 3 / 25) = 1,2 mg/kg

In a 20kg kid we have a dose of 24 mg, which is only slightly higher than a normal dose.

What do you mean with non-logic? I think that's hard to define. There are various approaches in logic-based AI that aim to somehow be more akin to how we handle multiple conflicting truths. A popular formalism is abstract argumentation theory, which is the study of evaluating the acceptability of multiple conflicting arguments. It has been shown that this is closely related to non-monotonic logics, such as LP with negation as failure and various types of defeasible reasoning. Proof theoretically, it replaces the notion of proof with that of a successful strategy in a two-person dialogue game.
So I guess you aren't confortable with the C standard.

> You are likely and upper class US citizen who looks down on things like taxis and the bus.

Lolno. I own a car, but commute every day by bus. I am middle class but, surprise surprise, still have places I want to get to. The only success I have ever had with taxis is if I ambush them when they are waiting outside of airports and train stations. Calling them is always a unmitigated shit-fest. This is both Seattle and Philadelphia. Philadelphia is significantly worse; cabs are unhailable (unless you ambush them at 30th street station) and they hang up on you when you give them an address in west or north philly.

They also get a discount on shipping which they do not pass on to the consumer. As they scale that difference will become larger and larger. I think that's where they expect to get the bulk of their revenue.
I gotta think Apple looks at Samsung as a business operating as their R&D departments. What an incredible money saver that must be. Samsung takes the risk on the "edgy" new features (excuse the pun) and then Apple can see what was popular or missed the mark in the implementation - can we improve? Apple doesn't need to be first at this point, but customers do expect them to be best, so it's a great spot to be behind the leading edge.

> This is also why recreational crystal meth [1] is very bad for the brain. Crystal meth overloads the neurons and definitely not equivalent to Rx Ritalin as intelligently prescribed.

"Crystal meth" isn't equivalent to Ritalin (methylphenidate), but it is equivalent to Desoxyn (brand name for methamphetamine), and more or less equivalent to Adderall (d-amphetamine, with a bit of l-amphetamine).

All three drugs are prescribed for a variety of conditions and, in appropriate doses, are safe[0]. The main difference between Desoxyn and Adderall is that the extra methyl group attached to the amphetamine makes it cross the blood-brain barrier more easily, which means that the equivalent doses are smaller (by weight). The metabolic processes and the effects on the brain are virtually identical, though, so it's misleading to draw a line between them and label one as "good" and the other "bad".

The real reason that people think of crystal meth as "bad" is because it's taken in far higher doses recreationally than would ever be prescribed medically, and because it's smoked (not that this is inherently bad, but changing the means of ingestion changes the onset, duration of effects, etc.[1])

[0] At least, to the extent that we can say that any pharmaceutical is "safe"

[1] This is why nicotine gum is frustrating to many smokers, because it takes much longer to absorb.

Or you could spend half as much and upgrade from "button" to "knob":

that's not the only reason, google's results are better because they have vastly more resources both in employee talent and data. It's not just something as trivial as keeping track of your search history.
They don't just charge 5 dollars. They also charge the cheapest retail shipping rate to the consumer. Meanwhile they pay a bulk discounted rate. They pocket the difference.

I couldn't continue, partly because I had predetermined risk going into this (Strongly recommend a dollar figure in loss and time limit before you try helping society) and partly because I just burned out.

Google reached out to me, and after a short interview made me an offer.

My significant other and I are now officially 1%er DINKS over night and are constantly working on what it means to continue to do good in our situation. She has focused on using her position in management to find unemployed talented folks to add to her teams. Right now she distributes nearly $1m in total yearly income to very talented individuals who also tried to do good but found themselves unemployed and in the same position as myself.

I have been trying to do honest work and learn at Google, while studying a society that is post-resource -- specifically how it reduces conflict and issues. I try to think about how some of these structures could be applied in places with need.

My brother, with a family, is walking on water. Over the last 2 years he has put over 100 ex-cons and homeless through his program with 0% recidivism. At a total cost of 40k per person this reduces their cost to society by 50% in the first year then often 100% by the second year.

He is, however, burned out and looking for an exit. His real world meaningful labor doesn't map as well to easy Silicon Valley hiring and he continues to try to find a way to move forward.
