Thanks, I see what you mean. However, I think 'obscure' is the wrong word. Tmux seems to have analogous commands for most of Vim's, mapped to keys for use just like Vim's; they're simply the usual commands many people use to move windows(vim)/panes(tmux) around.

The commands you mention (at least move-pane) are more flexible than Vim's window manipulation commands. That's the word I would use, 'flexible'. I think building a Vim plugin to emulate those tmux commands would be interesting project; I've put it on my list.

One last thing. I'm curious what tmux command(s) you would use to transform the layout above back to its original state. In Vim it's quite simple, with cursor in your window 3, just issue command ':winc L'. I don't see anything as straightforward with the tmux commands you've described, but I could be missing something.
Not necessarily. That's familiarity. But a familiar piece might not be sticky at all, just boring.
This is how much I feel empathy: When I played Civilization as a kid I felt so terrible when the AI players begged for mercy, I would try to keep them around rather than have to conquer them entirely.
In CS/eng, indeed, more so in fact. For humanities, not as much.
You're partly wrong about both Lyft and AirBnB. Yes price is the most important factor for many, but there are other factors too.

For Lyft, the fact that they aren't ethics/attitude-challenged is worth something to me. And I'm not a crunchy save-the-world type. It would take significantly more than a $0.01 discount - more than $1 - to persuade me to go back to using Uber. Also Lyft drivers tend to be friendlier.

For AirBnB, I pretty much only buy on price. But there is a substantial segment of people who "don't like hotels" that like AirBnB. Most AirBnb listings aren't that competitive when it comes to price vs. hotels.
I know. So why is Comcast obligated to connect to discount ISPs like Cogent? Just because Netflix decided to buy connectivity from them? What's stopping Netflix from buying connectivity from MyISP (who only has a single FastE connection to L3), then demanding Comcast peer or pay with me? What's so special about Cogent, or HE?
Sure. I think it's important to empathise with people. Especially in a professional setup. But how do you empathise with the lazy ones who would come to a meeting unprepared, hoping to get a quick tutorial on the subject on the go. Or the condescenders who would assume their expertise on a subject renders all other opinions invalid. In those cases empathy is actually cruel to the remaining who do deserve it. Empathy like every other human emotion isn't really universal.

You are describing GPU from 1990s. Modern GPU is essentially a general purpose computer sitting on the PCIe bus and able to do anything the CPU can. It does not have to run pure functions (e.g. see how it can be used for normal graphics tasks in [1]) and can write any location in the memory it can see. Securing it is as easy/hard as securing a CPU: if you screw up and expose some memory to the GPU it can be owned just like the memory exposed to a CPU task[2].

You only need to rewrite the whole zone if you want to modify something that's before the write pointer. That is, you can write data sequentially without penalty. It's modifying existing data that's the issue.
It would be nice to have a reference on how to create a JIT compiler. I seems like there really any system surveys of the subject equivalent to the "Dragon Book" for regular compilers.
Apple must not be using the top-tier Samsung M.2 SSD; they can write at 1500MB/s+ and read at 2100MB/s. 1024MB/s is nothing. Now that SSDs are moving to using PCI-E lanes instead of SATA, we'll probably see quite a speed race. Really looking forward to the Intel 750, which will straight up be a PCI-E card for the desktop version.

I have no idea if they are profitable or not, but your comment seems to be based entirely on heresay.
Project Euler is great for practicing this sort of thing. With the early questions, you can solve them however and it's fine, but many of the later problems have an obvious quadratic (or worse) solution that ends up being too slow in practice to finish in a sane amount of time, and it forces you to come up with a better algorithm to actually solve the puzzle. As a bonus, once you solve it you get to see other people's solutions, which are often super clever.

Personally, I think it's ego. Most meetings I've been in are just showcases of dick length. The best idea rarely, unfortunatley, wins the day. And it's getting worse. Venture Captial is a hits/deal driven endeavor. The more hits one gets the bigger asshole they usually become. And when youre in a room of 'hit'-makers, well there's very little room for different ideas. Its nothing new, history is full of examples. Not everyone is like this of course, but a lot are, and more are becoming. Just part of the natural cycle.

On a somewhat related not, it helps to remeber the 'con' in 'con man' refers to the word 'confidence'. Confidence is not necessarily a good personal value.

The Elements of Data Analytic Style
It depends which test is used and there are limits in magnitude to practice effects, i.e. you can't coach anyone to a perfect score in a test with a large bank of test questions. Psychometricians are aware of these critiques. Tests like the SAT, GRE, GMAT etc., lightly disguised IQ tests all, are useful for predicting academic performance among other things.

>Effects of practice on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV across 3- and 6-month intervals.
Estevis E1, Basso MR, Combs D.

A total of 54 participants (age M = 20.9; education M = 14.9; initial Full Scale IQ M = 111.6) were administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) at baseline and again either 3 or 6 months later. Scores on the Full Scale IQ, Verbal Comprehension, Working Memory, Perceptual Reasoning, Processing Speed, and General Ability Indices improved approximately 7, 5, 4, 5, 9, and 6 points, respectively, and increases were similar regardless of whether the re-examination occurred over 3- or 6-month intervals.

> Practice Effects for the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales
The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales—Fifth Edition (SB5) is a widely used
assessment tool for measuring intelligence (Roid, 2003). According to Roid, a key
advantage of this intelligence test’s most recent revision is that it includes improved lowend
items for better measurement of young children or adults having mental retardation.
Sbordone, Saul, and Purisch (2007) report that the range of the SB5 was expanded to
allow the assessment of very low and very high levels of cognitive ability. Roid and
Barram (2004) indicate that the practice effects on the SB5 were smaller than expected.
For example, the nonverbal IQ of the SB5 showed shifts of only 2 to 5 points as
compared to the 4 to 13 points on the Performance IQ of the Wechsler scales (i.e., the
WAIS-III and WISC-III). Roid and Barram add that the lower shift, and thus practice
effect, is even more notable given that the retest period for the SB5 was 5 to 8 days
versus 23 to 35 days on average for the Wechsler scales.
Thanks for saying what I had on my mind. In fact I was perusing the thread to find more voices that agree with your sentiment, spot on.

The following is a comment of mine on HN from nearly an year ago. It was made in response to a post on what the author learned from Steve Jobs in matters of negotiation [a]. It stands true today as it did then. Every time the topic of empathy and its relevance to startup success or success at large comes up, I feel a strong need to revisit this comment. Sadly, I have a feeling I will be posting this for some time to come, in the foreseeable future because I think most people - if they are being genuine - seem to be under the false assumption that somehow there are ways to win in the valley or elsewhere by being anything but ruthless :

-- -- --

I think every time the issue of Steve Jobs's maniacal side comes up I feel obliged to bring this up:

Steve Wozniak on Steve Jobs:

I was inspired by Stanford intellectuals like
Jim Warren talking this way at the club. Lee
Felsenstein wanted computers to help in things
like the antiwar marches he'd orchestrated in
Oakland and I was inspired by the fact that
these machines could help stop wars. Others in
the club had working models of this computer
before Jobs knew it existed. He came down one
week and I took him to show him the club, not
the reverse. He saw it as a businessman. It as
I who told Jobs the good things these machines
could do for humanity, not the reverse. I
begged Steve that we donate the first Apple I
to a woman who took computers into elementary
schools but he made me buy it and donate it
myself. [1]

The contrast in the personalities of Jobs and Wozniak could not be more clearer.

However I agree with first part of what toddmorey has said below:

3. Most importantly, being an asshole may help
great ideas get powered through, but it's not
the only way.

The latter part, I'm unsure and circumspect about:

The people I most admire have found
success while still being amazing human beings
to work beside.

In the valley and elsewhere, I think this is increasingly not the case.

I think we should stop telling kids that life rewards the passionate and the skilled.

By rewards I certainly do not mean some inner calm or contentment coming from indulging in what you love. I mean the conventional rewards of recognition, admiration and remuneration.

Life is rigged in favor of the opportunists. The schemers, hustlers and the witty-talkers.
But certainly not the plainspoken and the adept.

This is what many kids who have grown up on the stories of Steve Jobs and the valley lore surrounding many other iconic founders, will take away as their guiding principles.

They will grow up thinking, "Life rewards the unabashedly ravenous, merciless and ruthless blokes among us. Life does not spare the dignified, the pleasant or the mild-mannered."
There is nothing to suggest otherwise.

No matter how you dice it, your conscience tells you that this is more than a bit disenchanting if not unfair.

Cool story brah.
I linked to Wikipedia because it properly contextualizes the five-factor model and somewhat accurately summarizes the research. If you need academic sources try searching for the following terms (or some variation) at Google scholar:

five-factor agreeableness salary

I get 10,000 results for that search and the teasers show the overwhelming trend of the findings ("a significant negative relationship between agreeableness and salary", "agreeableness is negatively related to initial career success", etc). An online readable version of the paper you mention as being inaccessible is the first result for a Google search on the exact title. Subsequent results do seem to be either media coverage or paywall spam.

This is all true, what you say. But the tone of the question prompted me to ask.
When you can place yourself in the position of a colleague/customer/supplier, you often understand "they did the best they could given their resources" - be those financial, emotional, intelligence, etc.

Often I see more senior leaders in business have a somewhat flagrant disregard for their staff and suppliers constraints - "I don't want excuses or reasons, just make it work... You should have foreseen these problems, and worked with me to mitigate them."

Personally I find getting the balance right, between understanding how and why a situation has occurred, or will occur - and how to "motivate" a customer/supplier/colleague to do "better" irrespective of the resources - really quite hard.

Indeed, I will often be making the excuses on behalf of my suppliers... because I often understand the constraints on them just as well as they do, and can articulate them more clearly. And that is the complete opposite of what I see many "successful" executives do. Many of who have selective hearing, and only hear the good news, and never the bad unless it gives them an advantage.
Starting to perhaps understand how VC investment results over time have been so mediocre compared to other asset classes. If 'Confidence Driven Workplace' ie. being loud, interrupting -- shuts down a mellow minded person whose contribution is lost (Pao for example) -- it could be a mistake to get behind that kind of culture. A study might show why VC returns are so mediocre.

The non-risk-adjusted RoR through mid-2013 for VCs was 7.8%; the S&P (the market) was up 7.3%.
The VC investment was far more risky (obviously).

The LPs (limited partners) have to cough up two and twenty of their investment (MPs take 2% of AUM as a fee and 20% of profits over some threshold return like, say, 6%). So they're not even seeing that highly-volatile, high-risk 7.8% anyway.

It would be an interesting research project over time to see if a culture of decent, respectful relations and manners led to the same or better VC investment returns.

'Confidence-driven' is a misnomer, if you're a loud b.s. artist with money, BAM you're 'owning the room' ?, shutting down introverts with potentially great ideas.

Pao has great academic credentials but comes from an easy-going, somewhat passive culture, shutting down such people with a crappy 'confidence driven' workplace may be a detriment to the LPs who overpay VCs to make investments based on loudmouths and interrupters. Sheesh what a dumb environment.

Most of us doubt that the only good investment ideas come from big mouths who are skilled at shutting (shouting?) down others.
> to be down to fashion

The bad design isn't of this trivial sort. If you think of stereotypical web pages from 90's you don't think that their design isn't current, you think that that their design is intrinsically bad.

> the latest fashions

KDE's analogue in clothing fashion is wearing potato sack. That is - this isn't even a mater of fashion. This isn't like ror, node or react.

> rather than usability

Nobody denies potato sacks can have nonzero usability. Visual clutter affects usability. That they completely fucked UI, even if usability were perfect, doesn't give users needed confidence that other areas were done competently either.

> maybe why it's not attracting enough programmers

Game companies have, in general, never had difficulty attracting programmers, especially young programmers. That's why they have such a reputation for low pay and crappy work conditions: because they can.
It seems like this is a hacked up version in the spirit of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme

You'd never have to worry about losing links to things if all of your links were magnet links and you hosted files with bittorrent not http.

A magnet link can be just a sha hash. You could write a browser plugin to rewrite all sha hashes into magnet links.

The real hurdle with that is releasing a bittorrent client that separated itself from the grey area of media piracy.

If firefox included native libraries for downloading magnet links, it would be invisible to users.

You could also write btwget using libtorrent (or patch wget to handle magnet links)
I feel somewhat embarrassed to have put the situation in such a short and harsh fashion. If only it wasn't true.

I think we should teach our kids to build a world where life rewards the passionate, skillful and empathetic - but be very aware that we don't have that world yet.
(I'm sorry I didn't see your comment and said the same thing)
It is coming slowly, but there is a tradition of secret. Imagination allows to see the assembly for a shader and published its latest PowerVR ISA.
AMD has an open-source backend in LLVM for its GPUs. Someone told me that Sony shipped nice advanced analysis tool with the Playstation, I'm not sure if you have access to the assembly though.

Wow. That just really changed my model of paid search results... and I'm not quite sure yet how to put it back together.

I clicked both results for "flash player" and nothing on my computer (Mac) or in the browser (Chrome) warned me, whereas I have received warnings on other sites for "phishing attempts". I never would have downloaded anything from those sites, but my parents sure would have.

Who knows, if I were in a hurry and it was a program I wasn't familiar with or that I was trying to get for free? And if the site was more polished or a full html/css clone of the real site? It honestly might have worked on me.

What kind of malware do these bogus paid results contain? What would have happened if I'd installed them? What can you do to defend against that besides being a savvy web user?

Thanks for this. I learned something.
I haven't seen in this article that studios are paying for that. It seems to me that it is in the interest of AMD/Nvidia to have the best performance for major games, I would not be surprised that they do it for free, and are even asking for getting the games in advance to be able to prepare specific drivers.

Re-reading my comment, I did overstate things. My point isn't that Airbnb is never a social experience, but that people don't use it primarily because it's a social experience.

I use it because it's a superior product: more space, a kitchen, interesting neighborhoods, multiple bedrooms for traveling with friends, affordable, etc. A friendly host that I want to hang out with is a plus, but not the reason I use the service.

Sure, I can believe it'd affect the score, but I can't believe anyone would actually care about it. It's not like Javascript was designed for performance to begin with.
Yeah, I'm also somewhat perplexed by what point you're trying to get across here. You're saying that you agree that normal people commit felonies, so the answer is to "not be normal"?

That could be it. As an iOS user, I had to watch it loop through a couple times to understand it (and even to find the beginning). I felt it was moving a bit too fast.

With a fine of 103,000$, I'd assume the person would be willing to pay a ton of good lawyers to try and fail the ticket.

It would probably discourage wealthy people to drive fast, but the price in trial/lawyers would probably be too high for the police department for it to be feasible (also, if the ticket lacks proofs, I assume the defendant could file a suit against the departement?).

As a short term solution, have you considered Cloudflare? If Google is repeatedly crawling the same static pages, you can have them served from the Cloudflare cache instead, and the free version should still have the features you need.

Another option would be to move to a dedicated server. You can get quite a powerful server from a company like LiquidWeb for a few hundred dollars a month. (A "managed" server, so although a bit of know-how is needed to get it performing optimally, they can help you with the basics at least.) I expect with a bit of tuning of your web server (nginx or even apache with mpm_event or worker) you could handle that level of traffic even without caching, but you could also use something like Varnish to do even better.

Nothing that special from a technical point of view - but... Some years ago one would use a 5-axis CNC mill to produce car engine blocks, but not for mass production for consumer products - everyone would have used plastic for that. The iPhone was the first phone out of aluminium. Also the using a full block of aluminium to mill a Apple notebook body out of it in mass production, was never though before. (Sure higher quality traditional watches were always made of high quality metals)
git itself is decentralized

The source code itself is stored in a decentralized way, sure, but the git repository doesn't include pull request comments, wiki pages and issues. Of course, you can fetch these using the (rate-limited) GitHub API, but it's not quite the same (and other social networks typically let you extract your data in the same way).
