FreeBSD has recently included a new binary package manager (pkg) which seems to work well enough, but in all honesty it's still feels a few years behind apt / pacman / yum.

The nice thing is how well you can mix and match ports (source based management, in case you weren't aware) with the binary packages. And FreeBSD ports are surprisingly easy to manage too.

It's also worth mentioning that FreeBSD runs circles around a lot Linux distributions when it comes to upgrading. There's a tool, literally called freebsd-update, which is the equivalent of apt-get dist-upgrade and makes the whole process so painless you could be forgiven for thinking you were running a rolling release OS.
The site seems to be hiccuping. Checking now...

The US have never invested in social security levels anywhere near the Scandinavian countries.

How much spending do you believe is necessary to control crime via social security/etc? Is there some consumption level at which crime is expected to vanish?

Note that the US currently spends 60% of it's budget on redistribution and 4% on police protection. What would the optimal spending levels be?

http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/piechart_2012_US_total

Except that when you control for factors that correlate strongly with social status, the race effect disappears almost entirely.

What factors? Most of the obvious ones that I can think of (poverty, government dependence, unemployment) fail for this purpose since blacks do not make up anything close to 50% of people suffering from them.

Could you please state concretely what these factors are and why you believe the effect vanishes?
I used Adderall a lot in college and a bit after but it only works temporarily and doesn't target depression. Actually the subsequent low from Adderall and other stimulants is why I hate them and they never turned into a serious addiction.

Wellbutrin had a stimulant effect at first because I wasn't used to it, but it slowly becomes less noticeable, leaving only the positive effects. I remember thinking about a week or so in: This is how other people get to feel?!? wtf
Poor people don't have the resources to move around the country.

You reminded me of this Reddit comment: "No More Zero Days"

- It is a fork of Vim.
- It is omitting some features.
- It is adding a number of high level features.
- It will not be fully backwards compatible.

Prefixing 'new' to the name of the forked project is as lazy as it can get [1]. 'Neo' is one step from that.

Vim itself wouldn't be a good name if it was just meaning "Vi iMproved", but 'Vim' is also a dictionary word meaning "energy; enthusiasm". A positive dictionary word, and a pseudo-acronym. That works well.

The dictionary has many words that start with Vi, or have it as a substring: http://www.scrabblefinder.com/starts-with/vi/

While just using a dictionary word may be a bit lazy, it is the allusion I was referring to in my previous comment. It would be an allusion to Vim also being a dictionary word, chosen because it starts with 'vi'. The cycle of improvement would continue.

For example, 'Vigor' would be a decent name, as "Vim and Vigor"[2] are a common phrase.

Definitely not saying that should be the name, but it's a path to try and see what the community might like.

I don't know what you mean by "inherently". I do believe many traits are strongly demographically linked and that demographics tend to drown out other factors. I don't know the particular cause beyond that - I've seen very little convincing evidence one way or the other.

"The thing is, they could probably have won me over a million years earlier by starting me off at insert mode on the first line!"

I wouldn't like "open in insert mode" at all - if I'm opening an existing file, I probably want to edit it, not just add text (especially not at the beginning) - which means the first thing I'm probably wanting to do is navigate, which is much easier done in command mode.

When opening a new file, there's a better argument for starting in insert mode, but even then I'm likely to want to populate the buffer with the output of some command.

Of course, hitting escape first isn't disastrous - but neither is hitting i before you type.

All of that said, my defaults don't need to be your defaults! Add startinsert to your vimrc to get the behavior you want:

echo startinsert >>~/.vimrc
Why don't you just keep both installed?

I have always had a huge problem with the non-reproducible nature of medical research and its acceptance within the field. Being in medicine, every day you hear a physician citing some study from 15 years ago conducted on a sample size of 20/50/100 or so patients as a way to justify their clinical decisions. And it always worries me that we tend to put so much faith in these "landmark" studies, as if their findings are somehow legitimate and true because statistical significance was reached at least once, and seem to forget all of the misaligned incentives and game-playing that goes on in research, and the amount of data burying by the FDA, all that almost certainly influence and manipulate data, publication, etc in a negative way.

I tend to take the majority of medical research with a grain of salt, for the reasons listed here and in the article, unless there's some very convincing meta-analysis or successfully reproduced evidence. Call me overly cynical, but that we calculate a parameter or administer a drug or change our methods because of some article you read last month in NEJM is beyond bogus.

My point is that a lot of people have an anti-reaction to words like mindfulness, meditation, vegetarianism, yoga, when science shows it seems to really help. A bit like how a stereotypical redneck shuts down when a stereotypical hippy suggests a different lifestyle.

So I was just joking to recognize he MIGHT just be rolling his eyes at that point, but to consider it none the less. This attitude may not be so prevalent at HN, but when someone has depression for 10 years, chances are he's heard the same story (e.g. "oh, read this book about mindfulness, you'll be better before you know it!") a million times before. I get that. I didn't want him to stop reading at that point. I used the word mindful purposefully because of this, not 'mindfulness'. Anyway you can ignore my point.

> There is a lot of money in enterprise software... I wish more YC startups would tackle that area.

Enterprise Software requires more much investment in Sales/Marketing so these companies often they invest a lot less in engineering.

YC companies historically tend to be more engineering-focused. Many are now going up market so you start to see more YC job posts for marketing and sales positions now so this is probably changing.
I had interview similar to this last year. I was interviewing for back end engineer. I know SQL, Java, Python and Data warehouse fairly well. Guy interviewing was some Indian who always lives in his head. He started asking me deep Administration questions when role was clearly for engineering. I know some superficial DBA stuff but I am not DBA.
Than rude stupid asshole was clearly not paying attention when I was answering questions.
This is not something against Indian people but here is general piece of advice.

--> don't copy and ask questions posted on internet.

I don't think your or your parent's view on Notch is at all fair or justified. His situation is much different from Musk's. Notch accidentially made a huge sum of money, and now he is weary of the attention it has brought. The fact that he said he would abandon a projects that showed promise, I take as an expression of burnout/emotional stress. He is much younger than Musk, and his success was rather abrupt.

Who knows what he may use his position for in the future? He seems to me an intelligent, honest, passionate person. Maybe he will enjoy a quiet retirement. Maybe he will go on to do incredibe things in other arenas after taking some time to step back. A little empathy is in order, in my opinion.

It seems like "perform a bunch of pretty similar changes across most lines of a file with a couple hundred lines" is the kind of thing that shows up far more regularly for sysadmins than for programmers, and it's something where vim shines. The last time I worked somewhere with someone in an explicit "sysadmin" role, they were regularly bugging me for vim tips (not that I minded).

I came here to post the same thing; it would be very odd for one drink per day to be considered "heavy drinking." There actually is a technical definition of heavy drinking available from the NIH[0] which defines it mostly in terms of binge drinking:

> SAMHSA defines heavy drinking as drinking 5 or more drinks on the same occasion on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days.

According to the same source:

> moderate drinking is up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men.

As a man who tends to drink one drink per day, I fall into "moderate," but I could actually drink twice as much as I do and still not be "heavy" by these definitions. Even ignoring technical definitions, I don't think I personally know anybody who would consider one drink a day to be "heavy" drinking.

I find this poll and its chosen terminology to be especially interesting given the recent discussion of an article about the health benefits of drinking daily[1].

Meeting people on the phone is totally doable, especially if you have an introduction to them or have pre-demonstrated credibility somehow. It doesn't 100% play to my strengths, so I did a lot of flying around back when I was doing active consulting. My engagements were worth ~$50k apiece so taking a $10k trip to a conference (or just a target-rich area like, say, SF) was totally doable if it got me four later stage conversations with a 25% chance of closing apiece.

Typically it would look something like "4 week prospecting trip, fill up 2~3 quarters worth of consulting engagements, fill up last quarter while delivering." This was a hard schedule to sustain after getting married, which is one reason I'm not actively consulting anymore.

But there are many, many ways to do this. A more successful consultant in Ogaki does 90% of his prospecting over Skype.
One thing the raw numbers don't take into account is ratings inflation. Look at Karpov for example. In 1979 he was the only player in the world rated above 2700. Now there are almost 50 players rated above 2700. So it's much easier to have a high performance rating now. For most of chess history it was simply impossible to have a performance rating of 3098.

The article doesn't take into account ratings inflation because it's more interesting to present your article about the best performance in the strongest tournament ever rather than a very, very good performance in a very strong event.
I'll throw in a personal experience with caffeine. I was feeling really bad (anxiety-attack-ish, according to Google) whenever I sat down to work on my thesis, a few years back. I'd use nice coffee to bribe myself to work on the thing. One day I went to work on the thesis after going to the gym and left my heart-rate monitor on. I noticed that this bad feeling coincided with a seated heart rate of 110 bpm, long enough after exercise that it should have been around 68. Investigation and experimentation ensued. Short version: caffeine + hard thinking about something scary launched me into a real physical anxiety attack; just switching to green tea allowed me to continue my work ritual without the panic.

That means a "DevOps" should have all the experience to work in different teams. For example he may start his career as dev then move to some sys admin jobs. Meanwhile after working for couple of years with both Dev and sys admin team he could call himself "DevOps".
Is confronting the word you meant to use? It does not make much sense in this context. But the alternative explanation is that an attempt at "comforting" was auto-corrected to confronting. But being "comforted" by another person's sadness makes it appear that you are a "less than virtuous and decent" person and that does not seem like something you would want to advertise.

When neovim does something new and cool that I want to use, then ex-mode-in-vim will obviously not support that new and cool something. If neovim continues to provide an ex mode, then it will be available to me.

Obviously, whether this makes sense depends on what the something is - if it's some GUI flourish, then it's irrelevant either way, but a GUI flourish is not going to be why I move to neovim in the first place.
Cool app. Maybe you could change the label to be more in line with the other ones and say "Add to Pinboard", instead of just "Pinboard".
To me, it proves that racism is systemic, and not just a cultural problem. I have a hard time understanding the mindset of folks who can look at the Trayvon Martin case and say, "See, Zimmerman was found not guilty, which proves it was not racially motivated and that he did nothing wrong! Everything is fine, racism is dead. God bless America!"

The fact that Zimmerman was found not guilty is the perfect example of how racist our nation remains. Had Martin been a white kid, Zimmerman would be in prison (possibly even facing the death penalty, since Zimmerman is Hispanic).

Edit: I feel like I should be more clear here...Zimmerman's defense was the Stand Your Ground law. However, Zimmerman was the armed adult who stalked and approached an unarmed teenager; Martin was on his way home. In what bizzaro world does the jury, the police, and a whole lot of white Americans, live in that the aggressor could ever be interpreted as the kid? Even if Martin responded with force to the aggressive armed adult, the "Stand Your Ground" right belonged to Martin. Not the armed adult chasing him. If Martin had successfully defended himself from the psychopath chasing him, he'd likely be in jail today. Which is what a racist system and culture looks like.
Subway history: Don't be early
He most certainly wasn't.

He fought in the colonial militia during the French and Indian war. He held the rank of Colonel, but being a Colonel in a provincial militia is a far cry from even a low-level officer's post in the British Army.

He yearned to serve in the British Army but never received a commission. So he went back to his family farm and became over 16 years a wealthy, politically-connected planter, over time coming to share the general colonial opposition to Parliament. When war broke out between the colonies and the homeland, he showed up at the Second Continental Congress in his old militia uniform, and they picked him to lead the army.

Where is the verilog source?
Can they implement ex over the same msgpack interface they want for GUIs? The ability to switch back and forth between ex mode and visual mode is much lower priority than the ability to interface with my editor over something resembling ex (which itself is not super high priority, but this definitely falls in the "cons" column for neovim).

Edited to add:

FTA:

"As for the ex command-line utility, that can easily be implemented as separate program that talks to nvim via msgpack-rpc"

Excellent callout and my mistake missing the point on the wider energy range and the rollover. Thank you! The additional data will help the determination of dark matter vs. pulsars as the positron source.

"To determine if the observed new phenomenon is from dark matter or from astrophysical sources such as pulsars, AMS is now[sic] making measurements to determine the rate of decrease at which the positron fraction falls beyond the turning point (item 5), as well as to determine the antiproton fraction (the ratio of antiprotons to protons plus anti-protons). These will be reported in future publications."
You've hit on the most dangerous part of this whole scheme: increased attack surface. There is now a much higher likelihood of a successful attack taking down the site, due to the client needing to both open up and harden its keyserver on the internet (i'm presuming they don't have private connections between cloudflare and the customer site).

And obviously if any hole is found in either the client's keyserver or the network or host it runs on, the private key is now at risk. One could argue that the client is much less reliable in terms of hardening their security than CloudFlare is.

In order to reduce the attack surface, the client's keyserver needs to be connecting to CloudFlare, so they don't need to expose a service on the internet and thus an attacker won't know what to try to attack to take down the keyserver.
