I don't think there's really any evidence Sauron was a necromancer at all, so if you're going to explain these things to me, start with that. Sauron's army did not contain any undead. The nazgul are called "ringwraiths" but they don't seem to be any more undead than gollum or bilbo.

Tolkien wrote lord of the rings before the modern (silly) understanding of the word necromancer had been established, and sauron does't match that description let alone the more anthropologically accurate version (what today would be called a medium). Did sauron EVER commune with the dead?

Now Sauron was known as "the Necromancer", but that's a name, not a description. A serial killer known as "The Butcher" would not be a butcher (necessarily).

All we really know about Sauron is he was really good at making jewelry which had weird effects on people, that half his power was invested in "the ring" (which was also a ring), but his powers never really get displayed. He can make bad weather and mutate elves into orcs or something. But his awesome bad weather power was nullified by Gandalf, so that's not terribly impressive. And Saruman was better at making orcs than Sauron, so again not so impressive.
So you didn't accept it for the vision, because it was something worth working on, but for the money? Or maybe a combination?

Given that Russia, Belarus and Ukraine had a joint arms industry until a few months ago, it's not surprising.

Ukraine is a large exporter of tanks, mainly to 3rd world countries - they have tanks built for export that were not available to the army until now. These export vehicles showed up over the last weeks, because the army was clearly running out off their preferred T-64, etc.
Taxes in the US are not nearly as much lower than in Scandinavia as people like to think, though of course it varies quite a bit depending on state income taxes. When you take into account "necessary but privatised " bits like health insurance, it erases most of the remaining difference.

Branching Conversation Systems and the Working Writer
What are you currently using for your work email and why do you prefer Gmail?

We moved our company email from Outlook to Gmail roughly 2 years ago and personally I struggled at the time. Since then I have become a fan of Gmail, but it took a lot of adjusting. I have tried to convert a few Outlook and Apple Mail users but I find that most people really struggle with the move.

The most painful thing by far is the threaded view (more specifically that they put the newest message at the bottom of the thread). To someone who isn't super committed to the change it seems ludicrous - your Inbox runs top down from newest to oldest but when you open a thread it works in the exact opposite way.

Now that I think about it I don't know what the person who made that decision was smoking at the time - it's a sure way to turn people away from your product. I can only assume they did it that way to make it feel more like IM, but if they want to acquire more business users they should at least make it an option to put the most recent message at the top, like every other mail client does.
unfortunately for us, human behaviour doesn't scale linearly.
Vim is a programmer's dream.

If my only use were editing files in CLI, though, I'd have always used nano and not learned vim, as well.

Macros are one of the worst reasons for using emacs, IMO - especially trivial keyboard macros that you describe. Almost all editors have a keyboard macro facility; the only one I use on a regular basis that doesn't come with one out of the box, ironically, is Eclipse.
OP here. I too took this as a buying opportunity. $400 interestingly was a low hit around April as well. There's no rhyme nor reason to my buying other than an intuition about what "low" may mean. For me its a long term hold. If the price fell to $350 I would still hold. In fact if the price fell to $200 I would probably hold unless the whole Bitcoin system was somehow compromised and it was obviously going to $0...
Very strange to see this article posted now. This news from the AMS is over a year old. And clearly, there is considerable debate whether the positron excess is from dark matter particle annihilation or from nearby pulsars. There are many papers on the subject - here is just one example that explains some of the issues - http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.1840.pdf (PS - I am an astronomy graduate student).

10 Entrepreneur Beliefs That Defy the Stereotype
I used to binge occasionally, and used to regularly drink. I met a woman who doesn't drink, so I decided that I wouldn't either. I've had a few drinks since then, mostly in her presence and usually not more than one. I can say that I quit four years ago, but the last drink I had was about 8 months ago. Yea people think I'm weird if I tell them I don't drink, but I really don't care. And after I quit I was amazed at the amount of advertising for drinking is in everyday life, and how embedded it is into american culture. I don't miss waking up with a hangover.

The main issue with FreeBSD is that desktop-y things tend to be a PITA - anything involving browser plugins, java, anything like that.

A big part of that is the state of the linux emulation. While it's solid technically, the linux it's based on is ancient... the NEW linux base that is being phased in is based on CentOS 6, which is already over 3 years old. The CURRENT linux base is Fedora 10, which is 6 years old. Both of these are so old that compatibility with proprietary software are limited.

I was one of the people who rushed to do a ZFS setup on Ubuntu when those capabilities first started appearing ~5 or so years ago. There were some strange bugs that pushed me onto BSD, and the entire time since then since then I've been so stable it almost makes me nervous to try again despite the positive reception of modern ZOL (if it aint broke etc). Seriously, impressively stable.

I'd really like to see the full ISA, etc for the chip. A few years ago, I was doing research on building a byte code based vm after working through Peter Michaux "Scheme From Scratch" http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/scheme-from-scratch-introdu.... (I highly recommend running through his code, but do the GC earlier, it's easier to get it from the start than to try to add it.) I couldn't find anything online listing the kinds of instructions you'd want in a lisp chip.

Just want to point out that if you're using an encrypted filesystem, vagrant up will fail if NFS is enabled. The workaround is to use rsync to maintain the synced folders, a feature introduced in Vagrant 1.5. Just use vagrant rsync-auto to keep the guest folder in sync automatically with your local folder. If you modify files within the VM (like with a bundle install that modifies your Gemfile.lock or with rails generators), I recommend installing the vagrant-rsync-back plugin (https://github.com/smerrill/vagrant-rsync-back).
Haha I was literally studying this yesterday. Vagrant Cloud's search function is surprisingly broken, it was surprisingly hard to find a box running Ubuntu Trusty, Rails 4.1 and rbenv.
I don't use either java or any browser plugins (other than portable Firefox plugins) so I haven't come across that yet. I used freebsd for a desktop for 6 years, replacing Solaris and not once did I use Linux compat as well.

It got shot in favour of windows because TBH that pays the bills better at the moment.

FreeBSD however runs a lot of the hidden glue at our company.
My understanding of "Ex" is that it is a standalone program that happens to be implemented within Vim, which I think is a bit of an oddity. A radical departure for Neovim to take would be to change the key bindings or go to modeless operation.
With 3 founders and YC taking 7%, it will be possible to show that the person won't own 51% of the company and can be fired.

Again, this is for after, and there are other options, like being on a B1 or dependent visa while doing YC. You can own shares in that company and not derive income and at completion move out of the US.

But the question here is, how do you go about doing the ground work to even have a product that is competent enough to stand a chance?
Is that the Royal We, or do you care to identify who "we" really are? Since you're so concerned about identity and all that.
You want to change the name from neovim because they want to remove functionality that I'm guessing maybe 1% of the users use regularly. Even though for 99%, neovim is vim only modernized and cleaned up. It's illogical as you're doing a disservice to the users, and neovim is a clear name that describes what it is. New vim.

Didn't down-vote you, but I can guess why someone else might've.

Up until this post you didn't have it (the Microsoft OCR library) anywhere. You're still free as ever to develop using all the non-RT technologies (Windows Forms, WPF, Silverlight, WF, WCF and so on). All of it's officially supported.

And all said and done, Microsoft is doing no more or less than any other tech company. They release new stuff. And sometimes a new release is constrained in some way, like when an iPhone app is released by some startup that doesn't bother with an Android or Windows Phone equivalent. They may come eventually, or not...
Android Studio (Google's fork of IDEA) was awful at the beginning but is on the right track to getting quite good with Gradle.

> "getting others to work hard for you." It's how wealth is amassed and it doesn't matter whether it's on the legal or illegal side of the law.

It would seem the point of the article was exactly to make the point that many of these people were not gangster to be gangsters, but to build wealth and gain social respectability. And so becoming gangsters was something many of them chose because they found other avenues inaccessible, and for some of them once they had sufficient success that meant looking for ways to legitimise their businesses to various degrees.
It might be easy to get it into the US but being able to drive it on the road is a completely different story. It is not easy to import vehicles legally register them.
EDIT: To clarify, how do you go about doing the ground work for before applying to YC, while in the US, on an H1B.
tl;dr this tool is a cron for your monitoring scripts that reports to a cloud service which then gives you dashboards

Product information that I wish was on one page but instead is spread across five:

- by default, agent only collects these [linux] stats
- 1/5/15 min load average
- cpu usage per cpu
- memory usage (total,res,virt,cached)
- network reads per second (RX?)
- network writes per second (TX?)
- disk reads per second (only #, so probably iops)
- disk writes per second (only #, so probably iops)
- collects output from monitor scripts [that you have to write]
- sends output to sealion cloud via ssl
- 'Your password is encrypted' (???)
- have to edit a couple of files to make it collect info as root
- have to create your own alerts
- all data is erased after 3 (free) 15 (paid) or 45 (paid) days
- features:
- Dashboard & Charts
- Alerts
- Daily Digest
- Raw output [from your monitor scripts]
- Quick Setup
- Enterprise Scale (???)
- Time Machine (Server data is recorded for a week)
(this is diff than 3/15/45 days reported above???)
- Side-By-Side Server Comparison
- Teams [access controls]
- Pricing
- FREE 2 servers 3 days data retention
- $29/m 5 servers 15 days data retention
- $49/m 10 servers 15 days data retention
- $249/m 50 servers 15 days data retention
- $499/m unlimited 45 days data retention

Go out for a run every day. I have gone through depression (one of them extremely bad) and I know the feeling of isolation. Fortunately, the brain is very plastic, so this damage might be reversible.

Is there any specific reason you are depressed? I got a severe depression due to hormons and vitamin deficiencies; you might want to get that checked.

I'd like to clarify that I was using J6.02 for Windows when I wrote that. You can still download it from jsoftware.com.

Since then the priority has been for J to be platform independent, but it's resulted in some big steps backward for beauty and usability. That's for the environment only--not the language.
I usually advise people to avoid hardware RAID controllers on the basis that they introduce unnecessary risk. If you want speed, it is best to use a device like the ZeusRAM as a SLOG device:

http://www.hgst.com/solid-state-storage/enterprise-ssd/sas-s...

As for other devices, it is possible for bugs in software block devices to cause reordering across flushes. Finding out requires reviewing the code for any way that an IO before a flush can occur after it. This is a better situation than that with hardware RAID controllers, whose firmware is closed source and cannot be inspected.

Yes! I toyed around with this about two years ago, and I was able to make NetBeans edit TIFF images (which it doesn't, by default). I also replaced some older-looking elements from the Images Editor module, most of that was accomplished by following Geertjan (https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/), who was also regularly in IRC, reachable via e-mail, his blog, etc.

Unfortunately, NetBeans was in the middle of an internal transition at the time (having to do with how actions are bound to keys and menu items), and I didn't get the newer way, and the module I expanded used the old keybinding method.

> I, personally, used ex-mode only a couple of times, so even if I will use neovim I don't think I would care. But that just doesn't sound like a right think to do.

So he shouldn't remove it because of some strongly held principle of a random person on the internet? Even though that person in practice doesn't have any problem with it? That sounds backwards.

Please just takes some risks. Honestly, bold moves is what lifted me from a similar state. I'd been diagnosed and was living at home with my folks. But picking up and forcing myself into new situations is what lifted me out.

Don't worry about the fact that you're 30 and never had a GF. Honestly, it doesn't matter. I'm 33 and my GF is my first and she doesn't give a fuck. All she cares about is that I'm honest and that I reveal my true self. That's hard when you're a 30 yo dude and you're meant to have had a spate of relationships. But trust me, if you own that you haven't had much experience and become cool with it - women don't care. I've been there. My girfriend is super hot too ... but you learn that that doesn't even matter.

Just face up to who you are. Quit comparing yourself to your ideal and accept your imperfections and fuckups. Don't be a depressed waste of space like I was, pretending how bad I had it. Force yourself outside. I'd even get on something like Tinder and start getting pussy again just for your self esteem and self worth. Keep building and working on that. It's not easy, but stay focused on the small stuff and making fractional progress. Trust me, it adds up.

Don't be a cliche depressed fuck like I was. It's just so shit overall. Take risks and challenge yourself based upon the fact that you'll be fertilizer in no time. There's really no other alternative.
That's PicoLisp, which you can apt-get install.

This is PilMCU, a hardware design which apparently runs PicoLisp.

Right now, only the design exists, not physical hardware. But you can run the design in a simulator. ...Something, something, verilog. (This is not my area of expertise.)

Well said. One of my friend's bootstrapped HW startup got a big hit because a VC funded competitor is dumping thier products at 1/4th of the cost to make. That product costs approximately 35-40$ to make. But you can buy it for 10$ from amazon. It happens in many market segments.
Just upvoting this for visibility, hope someone has some helpful comments for you.

I really, really don't know what to tell you. I mean I can tell you what needs to happen, where you should start, but I've been there before and for me the biggest obstacle was that I didn't care, had no energy or motivation. So while I knew all the right answers, actually acting on it was the biggest obstacle.

I'm not sure if that's your problem, too. If not, really just try ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Not knowing anyone with a bit of savings can be extremely liberating. It means you can literally get out of bed and do anything that day.

If I were you I'd start by writing down the things you'd like in life, then writing down what you need to do to achieve them. Set a goal and work towards it. You mentioned removing isolation. So work, education and sports are the main places we meet people. And once you meet a few there, you go and meet others through them elsewhere (like at a party). So get a job, any job, a volunteer job may even be the best. People love you, it's often a very gentle and caring crowd, there's no pressure, no attachment or stress, and it's incredibly satisfying. Then do a sport, a teamsport. Anything that fits. Used to play football, do that. Never did sports in your life? Join a beginner running team.

And get out, solo, too. Buy a bicycle and just ride, take music if you'd like, explore and think while you're out in the sun and the wind. And beyond that, take care of yourself, try to keep a more regular schedule, try to really wake up and sit down for breakfast, don't buy some crap and roll out of bed and into a chair and eat it while doing mindless browsing. I know I know, hippy territory here, but being mindful of the moment, consciously deciding to prepare a proper breakfast, and eating it at a table, with a moment of zero-distraction clarity, it creates the kind of dignity that can allow you to try something new. If you don't do that, you just fall into the same pattern and spend another day doing nothing in your chair. I've been there, that pattern is the worst.

Anyway feel free to post more of your thoughts or PM me anytime :)

A typical multivitamin is only going to have 500 IU D3. That's very unlikely to help anyone unfortunately. I know a lot of people that see a huge benefit in mood with D3, but you need to take a lot more. Most people I know who take D3 for depression take 8000 IU/day, some 10000 IU. I wouldn't take any less than 4000 IU. (Research hasn't indicated toxicity until at least 20,000 IU.)
