Well, in some time you will lose all your productivity when you have to switch. With a proprietary tool it's not a matter of 'if' but 'when' (unless it's provided by a huge corporation, but then they try to lock you in their ecosystem).

OTOH I will be able to use vim (or a fork of it) 20-30 years from now and become more and more productive with it during the timeframe.
Why the big players choose the Lithuanian way of managing projects?
Indeed, but from the way Prof. Leonard explains these challenges, these are (primarily) problems that can be tackled by different teams at the same time. A bit like solving small puzzles that later make a bigger one. Then, most of the challenges seem to be on visual recognition... the cop says go on a red light, identify the cop, identify the hand signal, etc. I believe this will be sorted out relatively "fast". I think the biggest problem is human interaction, and the cross roads example is a great one. How it is eye contact with the other driver that determines what we do. In a world where 100% of traffic is not self-driving vehicles can be a bigger challenge.

Unfortunately, government purchasing isn't that simple. It's really much more complex and rewards those who know the system. A convoluted RFP would need to be issued and some vendor listed in a GSA database would wind up with the contract. Not necessarily because they are better (and certainly not cheaper), but because they can navigate the procurement process and avoid the red-tape pitfalls.
This is basically backlash. Same with the visa hassles. Right now, if you want to deploy Huawei gear in your western internet infrastructure provider, the government encourages you strongly not to. This is China giving the US the finger, ie. equal treatment. Pot, kettle, black.
Wow. That was an unusual technology choice to make in 2013.

The technology itself is probably not that difficult to build. The difficulty is launching a robust two sided marketplace. Now that there are already existing two sided marketplaces in this space it makes it even more difficult for a new entrant. In the same vein, building a social network isn't that difficult but getting a huge user base to generate network effects is extremely difficult.
- Text editors have been around for a very long time.

- Text editors are not that complex (even with plugin systems they are not doing HPC work).

- Text editors were not perceived as slow many years ago.

- Our computers have only got faster (10000x range).

- It is 2015 and a text editor is slow (sub-second delays in GUI, large file limits, etc).

- There are text editors not written in JS/Webkit that are not slow by orders of magnitude.

While I'm not bothered by Atom being slowish, I think there is some basis for dissatisfaction here. Of course, nobody is obligated to use Atom.

It definitely affects the learning curve. Have a look at the Czech keyboard layout; when I first started learning that language I ended up using the Compose key. Why on Earth would you put diacritics on numerical keys without any kind of logical mapping? At least Polish is 100% logical in this regard (except AltGr-X, but that was unavoidable).

The Russian keyboard layout is similarly annoying as the keys are simply not where you expect them. On most systems you can install a phonetic keyboard driver and kinda roll with it - that is, until you have to use a real Russian keyboard, at which point you have to re-learn from scratch.

Oh, and don't get me started on AZERTY and QWERTZ. What were they thinking?!

The point is that on some layouts you can start typing right away; on other, you have to jump through hoops and get frustrated. Not that we can do anything about it now. Historical reasons.

I don't know if this is a useful exercise, but the main reason is psychological pricing [0].

If you say that all prices should end in .99 due to some other reason than having the customers perceive the prices as lower, one possibility is that if all prices really end in .99 with no exceptions, then you can do a check on the number of items delivered based on the cent digits of total price: "the sum is $82.91 - were there nine dishes sold?"

I generally think the same thing, but then assume that they marked it at that price specifically so people would think that. So generally I assume any price is just some sort of marketing unless I can see the actual breakdown of the price.

> If I recall well, Polish typewriter layout (PN-87) was still available on Windows 95/98.

It's way worse: it's installed by default up to (at least) Windows 7, along with a silent (no feedback!) Left Alt-Shift shortcut that switches the keyboard layout. Press it unknowingly and BAM - suddenly your diacritics don't work anymore and Y/Z are swapped. Annoys the hell out of an Average User.

PS. I'm not saying that the layout was bad - just that there shouldn't be a magic shortcut for a "break my keyboard now!" feature.
Yeah I get you with the Palm comparison, but I do think that the top end Lumia's are definitely not 'meh' hardware.

I recently purchased the 930, so I can see a way Microsoft can increase sales immediately, and you hit the nail on the head. Work with the bloody carriers, but at all levels other than distribution. I went to several mobile phone shops and every single one effectively said "don't buy a flagship windows phone mate, have a look at this cheap shitty mess of an android one". Send some bloody reps around, interact with carriers, incentivise them, and sales will immediately go up.
Your remark about modern computers being really fast and software still managing to be slow doesn't just apply to Atom, really lots of software is frustrating in that way. Maybe that's why people accept this as normal: because sadly it is. Try opening an "Open file" dialog on basically any modern desktop...

More and more I tend to use software that is either minimalistic or started in another era (Emacs + command line tools). The one exception is the web browser which has to be modern or a bunch of websites won't work.

Except on Windows it does struggle, a lot, and others like Notepad++ open large files way faster.

Just checked it again: a 20MB matlab m-file opens instantly in NPP however it takes ST3 about half a minute. Half a minute, seriously? After renaming it to txt to get rid of syntax parsing it takes like a second. Which is still longer than NPP and starts to get seriously annoying with files of hundreds of MB.

Still, it's my go-to editor.

The requirement to add backdoors is bad, although there doesn't seem to be too much information about that, so not sure what it involves exactly.

I have no problem with the requirement to see the source code to check for other people's backdoors. You don't want your source code to be cloned by China? Tough. You shouldn't even be doing business in China if that worries you so much. But many choose to do it anyway, because they know the rewards can be so much greater than the risk of being copied.

It's fun that this talks about an address as "777302". That doesn't look like an address to slightly-more-modern eyes like mine. It's probably octal, where 7 is like 0xf in hex.

So, converting it to hex gives 0x3fec2, which is 318 bytes from the top of the first 256 KB (256 * 1024 is 0x40000), and thus sounds likely as a peripheral I/O address.

I am not sure about medium-risk public trust positions, but for high-risk public trust positions (think access to PII, social security # type stuff) they require an in depth personal history, including a meet and greet with an investigator (usually ex-law enforcement, so I was told).

Protip: Contractor or FTE, make sure you specifically ask HR whether or not there will be an additional screening, and whether or not it is a 'public-trust' position and what level that would be following your hiring.

I was pretty miffed when 'they' told me after the fact that my position required an additional background check and that my continued employment would be predicated on the outcome.

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/01/05/science/the-environment-ox... says "Project leaders, expecting the decline to continue, have made arrangements to pump tons of pure oxygen into the 3.15 acres of glass domes. ... "If we decided to raise the level by 2 percent, that would be 100,000 cubic feet of gaseous oxygen,""

A short ton (907.2 kg) of oxygen is 635 cubic meters or 24160 cubic feet as a gas and 794.5 liters as a liquid ( http://www.uigi.com/o2_conv.html ) so they would have needed 5 tons to raise the O2 levels by 2%. For what it's worth, the concrete depleted the O2 levels from 21% to 15%, so about 30 tons would have been need to fully restore the O2 levels.

800,000 mL/ton means that it was not the case that it needed "a few millilitres of liquid oxygen injected every 6 months or so." More like a few thousand liters every 6 months.

After it's miraculously revealed that he'll survive, he professes to continue with the ideal of seizing life. This was an instructional scare to never take your life or those around you for granted. Yet, the final shot of the episode is him sitting on the couch watching TV like a drone.
