It's a NextStep thing. You can find the complete list in /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/StandardKeyBinding.dict. You can customize them in ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict. The Cocoa API documentation has the details (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/...). There's a graphical editor for the DefaultKeyBinding dictionary (http://www.cocoabits.com/KeyBindingsEditor/), but I've never used it.

>Due process is a legal situation, and it matters after an arrest and during the investigation of a crime. Listening to rape victims at face value is not a violation of due process. Listening, yes. Blanket accusation based on a single account is de facto limitation of due process. Shaming a rapist who gets off on a technicality is one thing. Shaming a person who has been accused of rape is quite another.
Well, Norvig really means _mastering_ the thing. For him, this includes learning half a dozen languages, learning them well, applying them in all kinds of projects with others and so on. This probably can't be done in two years.
I agree with everything you say. Except:

>Should we really be defending companies because "they shouldn't have to pay out money to improve their security of OUR PERSONAL DATA"?

I don't think anyone was saying that.

... and would like to add: If an idle, up to date, informal, and benign actor can poke around the sensitive bits of a company that company needs to do some serious work, possibly firing sec staff or suing previous freelancers. I think that at a high level businesses need to do due diligence, but then also trust professionals and experts that a job done is actually done.

Also, my previous statement about systemic secEd would apply here as those businesses would understand that security is a process not a destination. Right?
'The Bloomberg Pay Index tracks the 100 highest-paid executives'

'Thirty-six of the CEOs in the ranking lead companies that had negative three-year average economic profit, meaning their companies aren’t producing enough profit to cover their cost of capital'

Yes, some leaders are 'just unbelievably killing it'. But more then 1/3 don't. So in general it seems to me they are payed way to much...

I think the Apple Watch will be the first real test for Tim Cook.
Me too, since many people report emacs evil mode being pretty polished by now, I'm tempted to try a fresh emacs setup. There's also lispy.el, which is IIUC a paredit superset in vi-command-clothing.
I have built some basic apps like the to-do list using Swift and Objective-C but haven't built anything significant yet. I have an idea for an app I want to build in the coming weeks, but I'm unsure if I should use this as an opportunity to learn React Native or just go the Swift route and really cement my knowledge there. Can anyone who's tried both weigh in?

One nice thing about OSX is that some emacs movements work in most programs.

Edit: C-f and C-b too

Edit 2: Just checked and word is not one of these programs :(
Zahn's ability to scope a plot that goes from everything-is-doomed to amazing-twist-saves-the-day in each of his _Heir to the Empire_ series is fantastic. Plus, his pacing and character development feel significantly richer than other Star Wars Universe books I've skimmed, and really feel like they naturally build on the original 3 movies.
It would be nice if there was an AMI for the latest LTS version of Ubuntu with the CUDA drivers installed and working.

Last time I tried some CUDA work on AWS I spent the best part of a day trying to just get the drivers set up right for a basic test app to work on 14.04 - eventually I gave up and went back to 12.04 which, in 2015, didn't give me much confidence in CUDA as something I can expect decent support for.
Then again, upgrading has made the wifi on my mac mini go wonky, twice, and last week an upgrade made it stop recognizing the display's native resolution and downgraded it to 1024x768. Upgrades are always dangerous.
Exactly! That list doesn't include Germany unfortunately, but I ended up going for the Blue Card instead, which is pretty easy to get if you have a university degree and work in an high-demand industry (like tech). Here's another comment I wrote on that topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6647761#up_6648443

Interestingly, it's supposed to be available in all EU countries, but I haven't found much information about it that's not specific to Germany, so it's possible that they're still rolling it out in other countries.

Rapid Prototyping Is a Game Changer for IOT
"Uncah Donald, Uncah Donald!"

-Huey, Dewey, and Louis
"cargo" doesn't work for me on Windows (it crashes). I can compile things with rustc but the executables crash. I've spent a fair bit of time purging/uninstalling stuff, and rerunning the installers or even picking up binaries. No success.

Obviously my system is a hostile environment for it. OTOH it's a pretty ordinary enterprise Win 7 box with plenty of dev tools happily running. I'm sure there is a series of steps to fix it. So one aspect of "Better Windows support" for me means the installer doing a better job at getting things going and complaining about missing things, incompatibilities, etc. I do hope mine in an exceptional case.
I'm in the same boat. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting pretty good at this, but then I talk to somebody and I have no idea what they're saying half the time. It's really ... I want to say humbling, but it's more stupefying than humbling.
I can show you how to use a table saw and all the other tools of carpentry in a day or two. It takes a long time to become a master carpenter. Heck, it takes 30 seconds to learn to use a planer, but a good while to really learn how to use it well.
The situation is quite a bit more complicated and nuanced than how you present it here. The whole mess is made up of a plethora of parties with differing ideologies and priorities. Ascribing the formation of ISIS to the US lacks any real thought on the subject.
Great summary. Thank you.

Just one question regarding the program you described - you're talking about the "lss" command you wrote, correct? You said that it exists in order to "group image sequences together. This makes finding missing images in a sequence, knowing the range, and dealing with 1000's of files in a folder trivial".

I don't know how you're grouping image sequences together, but I can't imagine why a GUI wouldn't be able to represent image groups as well as or better than a terminal program. Could you tell me? Alternatively, is your program open source? I'd love to check it out.
The batteries are replaceable, but it's not easy (or valid in warranty) for a user to do it. Apple can replace them, however.

Why and How I Wrote My Academic Book in Plain Text
A comment at the bottom seemed relevant and funny:

You need 10 years to be an expert programmer but what if someone is just trying to put together a prototype?

...reads like "You need 10 years to be a surgeon but what if someone is just trying to open up a patient?"

I think 10 years is pessimistic, 2 years feels about right, but I don't think the time is really the point of this page. You just can't rush learning, or expect to get a job after reading one of those books that sell a quick solution. It takes time, longer than you think it will, which is funny again considering how much I've experienced underestimating timelines in the past.
evil-surround is the more idiomatic way to do smartparens stuff.

This is actually an open problem in evil/emacs at the moment.

Would be nice to sort out.
It's not perfect, there's still some learning to do around the fringes where it interacts with emacs, but it is by far the BEST vik - like - but - not - vim experience I've seen so far. Much better than Sublime's vintage or any of the IDEs that provide Vim keybindings.
Great article, however I don't think it is from 2001, because he mentions Clojure and Go.
This assumes that PG is calling you- not exactly a generalized model.

I think the sentiment from PG is that when the line goes dead, it just shows the founder has given up. It is an important flag for any mentor/investor to see that the founders have lost their commitment, but it doesn't say much about the health of the business itself.

This notion from PG doesn't consider the case when the founders are beating a dead horse (not making sales, refusing to pivot, etc.) yet they are adamant about continuing work as usual. This situation is more likely to occur when the company lacks a good support network, or merely lacks the ability to hear advice.
The same way that ALL important systems should be protected: by not connecting them to the Internet in the first place.
SQL is not "a set of arbitrary commands put together into a string". It is a bit ungainly and irregular in parts. It needs improvements[1].

Haskell (or F# or any FPL) are, of course and obviously, a perfect fit as front end for a relational system.

It's hard to notice until you're really using it a lot, but it has a hard time with stuff like people's names that Windows does better with. I might be getting a little carried away saying it's "terrible" but I was a student in Japan for a while and the limitations became obvious and annoying to me under those circumstances.
If you have nothing to hide you shouldn't be worried, right?

Until the government protects the privacy of digital correspondence this should continue until we know all of the dirty little secrets our governments and corporations are hiding.

And as other commenters have said, none of the individuals caught up in this should have had an expectation of privacy anyway. The IT dept of Sony could have already accessed this info, and it's theirs anyway.

Like if your money gets stolen out of the bank.
One simply transitions from being to non-being.

This is probably the healthiest belief to have, but it's still an unfounded belief. How would one know this?
Kind of sad. A case where the algorithm is wrong. This is not a flame war, rather it is a passionate discussion between opposed ideologies. The nefarious tentacles of PC culture infecting the maths. Maybe they should add a word search for certain terms (No, idiot, fucking moron, you are dumb) as well as rapid responses and downvotes to determine if it has gone all Reign of Fire up in here...
It's pretty amusing that "it writes your data to disk before acknowledging the write" is something that has to be described as "impressive" and written in bold text when talking about a database. MongoDB really has lowered the bar.

That said, I love the look of Rethink and I can't wait to give it a try.
That's understandable. By the way, thank you for your efforts. Italy needs more people like you that push for entrepreneurial reforms. Right now a lot of talent is emigrating to other countries because of the difficulties to start a successful business (or even just a career).
I came across that essay a couple of years back, and I liked it very much.

It pretty much taught me the value of persistence. The first time I tried to learn Lisp, I felt like my IQ had dropped to about room temperature. It took me years to get it, trying again every couple of months. Eventually, I did get it. I am not an enlightned, brilliant Lisp hacker, but refusing to give up has allowed me to understand things I initially considered myself too stupid for.
Which, in turn, encouraged me to tackle other problems. If that first one eventually turned out not to have been all that hard, maybe this other one isn't, either?

It's not a major influence, but I could say this essay has, in a way, changed my life.

> 4 human male, I believe you forgot the Emperor.

The brother and sister outside of the trained count have to refer to Luke and Leia (Luke isn't trained at the beginning of the trilogy, but is at the end), so 4 human males (Luke, Vader, Kenobi, and Palpatine) in the trained count would double-count Luke.
Why is there "no way this is possible"?

The 1 is the key, which is to say, the lowest note played in the progression. If it's less than 25% then that means that 4-chord progressions frequently do not choose their minimum as the first note.
The argument for classifying this as bribery (or some other form of inappropriate transfer of money to an elected official) is the same as the argument for the existence of the law that they are circumventing.

IE, there is a 5k limit for corporate donations. No problem, lets have $50k of private donations directed by a corporation. He laid it out pretty plainly. We need to get this guy 5k, but that's illegal so lets do it this sneaky way.

It may be illegal (probably not, but maybe). If it isn't illegal it should be. It's a practice that renders the practice ineffective.

Imagine you are a in corporate sales. IBM buyers are allowed to accept up to $500 worth goodies from any one salesman, but no more. So, you get all your buddies to chip in. If their manager found out, they would assume that this buyers is compromised, unethical and should be fired and investigated for possible prosecution. The policy needs to be updated, but there is an obvious workaround at play here.

Honestly, I don't even see how this is controversial. How can people see massive political donations (which are crucial to getting elected) in such circumstances as anything but a circumvention of democracy. This is not just, I really am shocked.

It's quite obvious what they're doing, but being blind to nuance and expecting powerful people to be acting in good faith in the face of contradictory evidence go hand in hand.
Really?? So by using a term, whether quoting, asking, or actually applying, you can infer deep motivation? That is a pretty awesome skill... or maybe you are being the change you refuse to see...
> Then again, in the original trilogy the only trained force-sensitive people we hear of are 3 human male and Yoda. On top of that we have a brother and a sister.

Those are who we see. We hear references to others in a manner which is ambiguous to whether they are strictly in the past or just rare and comparatively low-profile at the time.
I think people commonly fear the process of dying (especially if its long drawn out and painful) than the actual state of being dead.
I think for real creative community it should be insulting that he speaks for it, presenting MPAA's perverted views as "views of the creative community". Lexi Alexander is quite outspoken about how interests of MPAA are at odds with interests of actual creators.

Right. You'll notice this in the Pachelbel rant; he very specifically only sings "da, da-da-da, da-da da-da-da-da-da-da--" (the first half of the violin theme) before abruptly cutting off because with this progression you essentially only get the "first half" of the Canon.
Well it's still in Beta though but I must say it's still excellent. This is from an Emacs user, currently using holy-mode (basically another way of saying Emacs mode in Spacemacs terminology and it's actually a mode configured for Emacs users).
When customers use Uber, they have no real choice in the drivers they are getting, unlike eBay or Craigslist, where they can comparison shop and choose based on seller ratings, product/seller descriptions, and prices. With Uber, you just press a button and Uber gives you a driver that is assigned to you, at a rate that Uber defines. The consumer is penalized for canceling the trip (you can usually get the cancellation fee waived if you have a good reason, i.e. "the driver didn't arrive for 20 minutes and seemed confused when I called them")

Rather than merely being a medium for connecting drivers and passengers, Uber the controller of these transactions, and is assuming the role as the provider of the services.

There are many other reasons that the eBay/Uber comparison is invalid, which other commenters have given. And, like the original author said, Uber drivers fail the IRS's 20 point test spectacularly.

These are the comments driving my responses which are negatively addressing the developer's choice of language, and those are only the ones on this thread. I'm sick of Hacker News trying to make developers feel guilty for using a technology.

I have not argued against anyone asking "why" in regards to what language they feel is best suited to the task at hand. Obviously that question needs asked for any project. I am arguing against everyone whose instant response to "we built X in Go" with "oh god why would you do that" types of "why". There is a distinction in those whys, and if you cannot or will not recognize that distinction then that is your own failing.

I am not involved with or representative of the Go community. I represent only myself.
Presumably glue is unworkable for some of it. Or it needs to be reparable.
There are limitations on donations. They wanted to donate $50k. By law, they can't do that. So they manipulated how they donated that sum to circumvent that law.
Take a look at this. http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/

Doing more that scratching the surface requires a lot of work and focus.
And, for good or bad, it is also much easier to both expand/hire and close/downsize in Scandinavia than in other parts of Europe. At least in Denmark and Finland, maybe less so in Sweden. (Norway is really expensive to hire anyone, though).

This flexibility to lay off people is not always a win/win for employees (considering Nokia/ALU merger right now) but I think that investors generally overestimate the bureaucratic difficulties in Scandinavian countries in this respect. Scandinavian countries are very free market economies despite being "socialist".
It's not for Vim anymore but can adapt to many editing styles.
It's an overcorrection for the tendency of people without an experience to speak for and over people who have the experience. Think of it like someone speaking on something technical with no relevant technical background. If near 100% of the time they were wrong, you might wish they'd just not talk about it.

I have two questions for you if I may?

How hard was the transition out of a Sudbury school for you? Since you only did K-12 at one, presumably you went to a "traditional" High School, College, and then got a job. So how hard was moving from that "no grades, your pace, you decide how you learn!" type environment to one with formal classes, grades, and so on. Both culturally but also do you feel you knew as much as the other kids when taking a class?

My second question is: Would you send your kids to a Sudbury school?
$10k/terminal/year? Absurd. It is a lot more than that.

As another commentator mentioned, chip away. That is how Bloomberg made it as a company. By being better and more sane at fixed income in a very new market.

Find a niche and chip away at that. Data is expensive. Personally, I think making a niche in something coming to becoming mainstream (like R) which is already there in some boutique areas is where it could be.

But don't quote me. I'm still doing COBOL>
How about using whatever is in our powers (legally) to punish Sony for their complete apathy towards security? That's why these documents were leaked in the first place.

Security (and privacy as a result) is something hugely important to customers, whether they know it or not, but not so important to corporations except for how it might damage their bottom line from backlash.

If we don't show them how they can also suffer from bad security practices, then nothing will ever be done to fix it. I am 100% certain that Sony and many other large organizations are now spending a hell of a lot more money on their security teams.

The opening lines are crazy. The moment she heard about the app, before she knew anything about it, she had the idea "to put them out of business"? That doesn't seem like the behavior of an altruistic person. Shouldn't she have, you know, researched the structure of uber before deciding that she wants to destroy them? How would she know that the employment status of the drivers from her friend saying "You have to see this"?
