In my 6 years of coding and writing LaTeX in Vim, I have found that the greatest boost to my Vim productivity is learning all about the vi and ex foundation of Vim. My Vim knowledge applies 100% to any default Vim installation on a modern distro, and my vimrc contains mostly trivial tweaks.

This means using :normal and macros instead of :s for most of my search/replace actions; using H, M, L, {, } to navigate quickly in the lines visible on the screen, and using f/F/t/T/;/,/% to navigate quickly within a line.

I would say that 98% of my autocomplete needs are fulfilled by token completion (:help i_CTRL-N) and line completion (:help i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L).

I frequently use the command-line window (:help c_CTRL-F) and listing matching names (:help c_CTRL-D).

I specifically don't have mappings that involve the leader key, and I don't use the Ctrl-P plugin or a package manager or anything like that -- I honestly don't think that mapping <Leader>w to :w<CR> will make me any more productive in Vim.
SF.net died years ago. This remnant that continues is a farce.
Let me just drop this link: http://macincloud.com/ ...you could totally use the iOS simulator, or compile the .ipa(iOS app binary) and send it to yourself via testflight or even faster, on a jailbroken device, just FTP/scp/whatever the .ipa to your physical location and install it on your device. But yeah, other than this cloud solution I completely agree on the price-of-entry point. Considering the salaries we're getting these days, allocating $1,000 for an iOS device and a macmini doesn't seem unreasonable. Around $1,600 if you need a macbook. That's how Apple rolls. Take it or leave it. If you're just wanting to learn to hack around with things, or just can't afford Apple hardware right now, then sure... hack around with OSX on non-Apple hardware. But if you're a professional paid engineer and serious about app development, dealing with this hack'ish OSX environment is a waste of time. Just by a macmini or sign up with macincloud. Spend your time developing your app, not pulling your hair out on whatever brokeness of OSX-on-NonApple-hardware you'll encounter.
You can do DP to HDMI, DVI, or VGA. So a USB-C DP plug supersedes all other display ports.

I agree on SD cards though, just because most SD Card slots can impress the card into the frame of the machine for portability.

Intel's upcoming Skylake architecture is rumored to not support VGA. That might speed along its demise somewhat.

I actually use the VGA port on my ThinkPad somewhat regularly—it's still the most common display connector in many offices. However, I do carry dongles for HDMI and DVI (adapting from the built-in DisplayPort) just in case. I'm looking forward to having USB-C replace all of them.

You seriously don't care about anything outside of IP provisions?

You do recognize the irony inherent in claiming you wouldn't care so much about deals negotiated in secret, so long as they don't include horrible provision X that was included during these secret negotiations, and you only know that because the secrecy was violated and the information was released, right?

10,000 god damn global variables. It would be very difficult to expect some kind of unit testing with that many straggling race conditions bouncing around. Wow.
You don't like the phrase "broken home", but you're happy to talk about "cheating"? [EDIT: removed confrontational language] Both of those idioms attempt to universalize judgments that are necessarily personal and cultural. There are many happy productive intact families who have infidelity or [EDIT: in some cases perhaps] better said polyamory in their past or even present. Marriage is what married people choose to make it, every day. Is it telling that you particularly mention "a cheating husband"?
In my experience many men overestimate the power of women's sexual choices, and underestimate the power of social structures and habits that prefer men.

I think this is because men experience the power of female sexual choice first-hand during adolescence. It's a time of crazy emotions in general, and none crazier than those related to love and sex. It can seem like your entire happiness is dependent on whether a particular girl likes you back. That is memorable.

(Of course, women experience the same things during adolescence. Very few feel powerful during that time...they feel vulnerable just like the guys.)

Meanwhile, men do not directly experience the power of social structures that prefer them. Instead what they experience is a relative absence of barriers that present themselves to women. And how easy is it to notice the absence of something you've never experienced? Not easy at all.

It's very difficult in general for humans to empathize with experiences that they've never had themselves. David Foster Wallace discussed this memorably in his "this is water" speech.
While its true the women who were born have a slight advantage when it comes to hetero pairing off, the main premise ignores the fact that many never made it out of the womb and they are the real disadvantaged ones. That is, there are men alive because their parents forwent a daughter via physician intervention. Now, this has nothing to do with being pro choice or not, but one can't ignore the undercurrent which gives rise to this.

Now, with regard to men in cities, if they could only subject themselves to the injustice of marrying a mate from the countryside, they would not have a problem, but for whatever reason, a city reared mate it must be, so cry me a river.
The article doesn't address why the hourly wage for 2-bedroom is relevant in relation to say, a 1-bedroom, studio, or mansion. Looking briefly at the BLS data, it seems that there are about equal numbers of single- and double-earner households. It's not clear to me that a single-earner household should expect to be able to rent a two bedroom apartment.

Ah thanks for the reminder. I had looked at that page previously when it just covered 10.9. I see that it has been updated with instructions for 10.10. Wonderful.
I've got very little information on precisely what happened. The wording on the warrant they had for my arrest was that they'd traced an attempt to access child porn using Tor "through undisclosed means". I'm assuming that means the police are running their own nodes and logging any traffic to go through them, but that's pure guesswork.

Also guesswork, but I think the source was probably the one Windows box in the house which I've run Tor on in the past to get round UK ISPs blocking torrent sites. The most likely thing seems to be that it was turned into part of a botnet and used as a Tor relay, but at least until I get that machine back I've got no way of verifying that (and in all honesty, will probably just format the disk and reinstall it).

As I understand it if you're just passively using Tor (on a computer which hasn't been compromised) then it won't cause you any trouble, but if you start running relay nodes or an endpoint then make sure you've got the number of a good solicitor who understands this stuff - the one I got given by the police opened the conversation with "I know nothing about computers", and was quite clearly convinced I was guilty as charged. Thankfully the police do seem to know what they're talking about, and are well aware that an IP address is far from damning evidence, they've looked like their just going through the motions because they're obliged to ever since finishing their interview the first morning.
That only works in one direction. You can use it to connect FireWire devices to a computer with Thunderbolt, but you can't use it to connect Thunderbolt devices to a computer with FireWire.

Contrast with USB. I can go out and buy a USB storage device brand new off the shelf in 2015, plug it into an iMac from 1998, and it will work. It will be slow but it will work out of the box.

The bit about credit cards makes sense for Morocco. It is somewhat valid for Brazil. With the difference that, from the description, it is easier to get credit cards here. There's indeed a huge portion of the population that is underbanked, but there is still a large amount of credit cards to go around.

Now, the problem is that the demographic that has both smartphones and disposable income will probably have a good enough smartphone that a 'lite' Facebook is not required.
That's news to some people.

Being from Arkansas, I always thought our housing prices were crazy low. When I was in university there, I paid something like $450/mo for a two bedroom, 1000 square foot (92 square meters) apartment.

Then I moved to Seattle and pay 6x as much per square foot. That's to be expected, I guess. Seattle is much more desirable than Arkansas.
5x actually.

(4x PLUS the original 1x for 5x total).

I agree with you, just arguing a technicality.
1.16 boys per girl? Down from 1.22? Wow. I knew there was an imbalance. I didn't realize it was quite so large.

It's really depressing that such an anachronistic notion (of carrying on your family's "name") is still so prevalent that it results in tens of millions of abortions of unwanted girls.

My only hope is that 20 or 30 years from now when the children of this generation of Chinese are themselves looking to marry and have families that such misogyny has fallen by the wayside.
I'm guessing picking two-bedrooms is a proxy for families: one for parent(s) and one for child(ren).
I'd been using Tor to bypass torrent sites being blocked by UK ISPs - while Game of Thrones wasn't directly connected to my problems, the fact I had two computers with Tor installed definitely didn't do me any favours while being interviewed.
I would take Theo de Raadt suspisions with a large grain of salt, especially when he is arguing that BSD licensed software can only be used with other BSD licenses software. The whole point of permissive licensed software is that you can use it under a different license, and many proprietary software companies would get quite angry if they suddenly had to close down shops because Theo has a new theory. They would also likely stop funding bsd projects.
So then by your logic, all the single income families are consigned to only living in one bedroom apartments? This seems like a logic fail to me.

How dare single parent families expect to live somewhere decent.
Presumably, a 2 bedroom apt. would be quite relevant to single parents.
Oh wow. This thing is what we used over 10 years ago when I was a student there. I loved how you could call assembly code from a C++ routine.
What I don't understand is why not marry someone from the countryside? It's not as if there isn't a supply. However it seems perceived status gets in the way and these guys hoping to pair off would rather endure than settle with a mate from the countryside.
I have a 50Mbps connection and don't actively notice the speed drop but speed tests (which are not that reliable and I didn't do enough tests to really confirm) show about a 10Mbps difference (slower on VPN). My phone connection is never anywhere near that fast so I really don't notice it there. I'm sure that fast home connections will have more issues (as in being slower) but I'm willing to take the hit (as long as it's only about 1/5 penalty as it appears to be now for me) for the gain.

I've tried running my own VPN but every time I run into some odd issues or it doesn't work on all my devices. PIA's offerings are well worth $40/yr IMHO but I understand that that would be the same for everyone.
Almost none of the trading heads had an MBA. Even within the traditional management, few of the ex-consultants had one. And yet the business is one of the oldest ones in the world. The key is that the main requirement for moving up was the value created for the firm (which was and still is privately held, mostly between the founding family and the head traders); this did not seem to correlate with having an MBA, but the firm culture was to grow talent rather than hire outsiders.

I've seen businesses where MBAs hire more of themselves "at competitive salaries" and nobody actually has any hard skills. Those have very negative cash flow, but also are very good at raising more money to match it. Not a fan of the degree, but maybe I just saw the bottom of the barrel.

Incorrect on all counts - You have never needed to buy Microsoft's software in order to build something for Windows. There have always been free options from Microsoft and others.

And you don't need to pay for Windows either because Microsoft has given away 6 month trials of every version of Windows since forever. (And they give you an option to re-up the trial time without reinstalling so you can get like a year out of a free trial of Windows no problem.

> I can buy any Thinkpad and boot Ubuntu with all hardware detected and functional.

Until you try to hook up an external screen, then all bets are off. I know because I recently attempted to do just that (w530, ubuntu 14.04 LTS). Compare that to buying a macbook pro and it's no contest. The hardware is simply better supported.
Several items from the article jumped out at me, such as:

"Everyone at Mojang was made the same offer: whoever stayed on board for at least six months after the sale would be rewarded with two million Swedish crowns, approximately three hundred thousand dollars, after taxes."

While it pales in comparison to the payday Mojang's founders received, I'd be happy to get that much. Especially if:

"The three founders were yet to make anyone else a shareholder in the company, not even those who had been with Mojang from the start. This meant that the massive profits generated by Minecraft still went straight into their pockets, even though Markus himself hadn’t done any actual work on Minecraft for over two years now. ... Many no longer regarded Markus, Carl, and Jakob as their equals, as part of the team, but simply as management. Mojang had long since ceased to be anything but a workplace."

Sounds like if you were a working stiff at Mojang, your options were simply "find a new job" or "enjoy a $300,000 bonus after 6 months of continued employment". Compared to what had been happening, this sounds like an improvement.

I can't blame Mojang's founders for selling the company; hell, I'd do the same when offered that much money. Markus (Notch) can spend the rest of his life quietly making games mostly to amuse himself. That sounds like a dream. But when I read something like this:

"When Microsoft sent a delegation for its first official visit to Mojang in Stockholm, Markus wasn’t around. Few if any of his employees knew for sure, but it was rumored that he’d just returned from a few days in Vegas with Jakob. Either way, he was either too tired or too uninterested to show up in person. The task of representing Mojang to its new owners fell on Carl."

and:

"The day before, Markus had put in his last day at work. Several others were in the office as he stood up to leave. He hesitated, not sure how to say goodbye. So he decided not to."

...I can't help but think, "geez, what an ass." You've got your big payday, but you can't even be bothered to see the thing through or say goodbye to some of the people who helped make your big payday happen?

This is only one side of the story, of course, and as rilita notes elsewhere in this thread this is largely a promotion for a book. After reading this and having watched Minecraft's lack of progress over the last year (compared to its previous 2), I think that perhaps the acquisition by Microsoft may be the best thing that happened to the game.
Instead of downvoting, let's educate people a bit more:

1. Picking a small key is all on the user. It's like choosing the single letter 'a' as a password. If you want to do so why not?

2. The key you give to github is a "public" key. It is made to be public so this should be irrelevant.

3. There is 'almost' no known countermeasures against mass crawls of public keys. Look at the recent attacks: https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/872-About-the-supposed-facto...

What they could do: check against databases of public keys to see if your key is weakened by such attacks.

This is a nasty one as it seems that the UEFI (often referred to as BIOS) implementation on 2014 and earlier Macs doesn't even do signature checking, so it's completely insecure.
"The bug has been observed on all Pentiums I have tested or had tested to date, including a Dell P90, a Gateway P90, a Micron P60, an Insight P60, and a Packard-Bell P60."

This made me laugh... we used to call them Packard-Smells.
Yeah, I mistyped (should read "...later DO-178..."). You're quite correct that DO-178B was around then, but the C revision was not.

Right on! Recommending for others to read from an established source of company health ratings is absolutely cool. No one said anything pejorative about NYT here. If they did say something like that at Glassdoor, well, then I guess that's between NYT and that employee, and we are all free to think critically about it and decide whether it affects our opinion. In fact, it's a little frightening that anyone defending a journalism company would, in any way, suggest that it's "not cool" to promote as many open, full-disclosure-of-our-workplace sources as possible, and let readers decide for themselves what the merit of those sources ultimately is.

We won't be able to improve the working conditions, lack of specialization respect, burnout, or other industry problems unless more people vocally call out companies like this. If anything here is not cool, it's that more of this targeted, call-out-a-company-on-its-bullcrap doesn't happen.

Isn't that already the case? Current-gen Intel and AMD platforms have IOMMUs; Linux supports them. Linux and Windows support disabling DMA without disabling the rest of e.g. Firewire.
I can also cross compile for iOS in Linux... but the idea is obviously to use great tools not available in other platforms.

Apple allows people to virtualise OS X as a guest OS on top of an OS X host OS, on Mac Hardware.

Both commercial virtualisation platforms of OS X (VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop) have very easy "Create OS X VM from Recovery Partition" functionality.

Apple didn't make it a pain in the ass - if you need patched ISOs to install, it sounds like you're trying to do something they specifically don't allow.

Ask HN: Why is there not a Go specific IDE?
I'm new to Go, and have very much enjoyed learning it, but coming from Python, I'm used to available full featured IDEs. I realize there are lots of plugins for popular editors (and even some IDEs), and I've been using the go-vim plugin.

This is not at all meant as a criticism, it just surprises me that with all the features like tests, benchmarks, coverage, documentation, etc that there is not a IDE specific to Go.
I've been using low self discharge NiMH batteries for years. I find they are better than Alkaline for almost everything. They are fine in all my remotes. Last for months. It is only a couple of items that just don't work with any NiMH batteries. The smoke detector and a clock. It's not that they run dry quickly. The smoke detector fails within 24 hours (gives a battery low warning siren) and a clock that just doesn't work.
