> California does not have 2% of the world's population

Consider all the power required to support a Californian's life style, including his direct use and all the services and products that converge on him. That Red Bull can on his desk is probably not negligible, not when you factor in all the infrastructure required for it.
For what it's worth, the author (sankho) mentions that he uses other editors for project-wide find and replace. This can be done in vim too (although I do not --- I'll return to this). You can check out the typically great vimcasts post on this: http://vimcasts.org/episodes/project-wide-find-and-replace/

For whatever reason, I find it easier to use commandline tools to do large search and replaces. I do embrace the vim-as-text-editor within the larger Linux-program-composability philosophy, but I understand that not everyone else does. So I use ack and perl, as mentioned in this StackOverflow post:

(Actually, sometimes I distinctly do things the wrong way. I open a scratch buffer, `:r! ls` to get my file names, restrict to those that I want, create a macro that does what I want on the file under the cursor, and then repeat the macro. I am not proud.)
What is the comparison between using energy to generate liquid fuels from atmospheric CO2 (which would be carbon neutral) and trying to electrify the entire transportation sector?

Those Los Alamos guys [1] said in 2007 they could get it down to $3.40 a gallon. Okay, maybe they were wrong and/or optimistic. But, still, there is some price point at which it is break-even. What is it? Five dollars? Ten?

The advantages of this over electrifying everything are that we already have built up the infrastructure for liquid fossil fuels. There is no extra engineering to be done for storage and/or transport, and no environmental impact from building new facilities like battery factories or erecting more transmission towers.

In both technologies, you start with an energy source, and then distribute it to consumers who use the product up. Both are carbon-neutral once you get past the "have the centralized energy source" step.

What does the number of people have to do with this? Industries contribute much more to emissions.

(also not relevant, but California's current GDP is ~2.2T, which is around 3% of the total world GDP (75T)).
Ask HN: What is the average SAT score of a Google engineer?
I don't get it. Mandating that auto manufacturers sell a certain percentage of electric vehicles seems a bit like legislating the weather. If CA really wants to push people into electric vehicles, why not manipulate the demand for electric vehicles? Perhaps add another dollar or two to the gasoline tax?

Is Joylent just too sweet for you, or what?

I've tried Joylent, Veetal, and Jake. In terms of palatability, Joylent is by far the best (especially banana), Veetal is pretty good, and Jake is a distant last.

Jake's single-meal packages are an advantage. But it's just not very pleasant to drink. And there's really no reason for them to include whole flax seeds, rather than grinding them.
Take a look at some problems on Kaggle. Enter a competition, see how you do, publish your results or at least use them in your application package. You can also find startups in this space (some are in Paris). You might also find a job at Google/Facebook. Then you might be able to get into grad school as well. Try all the options.
I think the author brings up a few valid points but totally agreed, they think they are more productive than the "hipster "rockstar" programmer" while in the same breath saying they have been wasting life away at a desk for 10 years.

Fixed income trading desk, large global hedge fund - London, UK (ONSITE,VISA)

Fixed income markets (bonds, futures, interest rate swaps) are going through big changes as electronic trading takes over. We are seeking a "Tech Lead" for our desk who can help us deploy new and existing strategies in emerging electronic trading venues now and recruit and lead our tech time through time.

Our desk of 3 has an informal and collegiate atmosphere. We have been setup around 2Y and have performed well however there is exciting potential for rapid tech driven growth. IMHO we have interesting problems and get to work with cool stuff e.g. machine learning

We will happily consider someone less experienced (2+ years commercial experience) if you can demonstrate excellence (solved hard problems in your PhD / great github profile / something else). We can sponsor a work visa for exceptional non-EU applicants.

Our production code is in python, C# and haskell but we are tech agnostic and will look to you to chose technologies as appropriate.

Requirements:

* Probably CS PhD (haven't seen anyone up to scratch with out this so far but since this is HN I know I could here.)
* Familiar with python
* Minimum 2y commercial experience
* Knowledge of good practices - e.g. git, unit testing

Compensation: Excellent (no joke) and potential for rapid growth as we perform

You could just argue, but the country I come from has millions of vegetarians who are as healthy as animal eating and live as long.
Plenty of people believe that taxes are a necessary evil. Also, you're not shadowbanned so 'they' apparently aren't all that powerful yet.

As for the funding of wars, plenty of people are prepared to fund them as long as they and their relatives don't end up fighting in them. And with drones getting better every day all-out robotic warfare is a matter of time.

CSS does provide both - the table model from CSS2 provides parity with HTML tables, the flexbox model in CSS3 provides an easy way to center blocks and other nice flexible layout features.

I do believe most complaints about CSS is really complaints about missing and buggy implementations in browsers. For example for years I have seen people complain that CSS is not as powerful and simple as html tables, when the issue really was that Internet Explorer didn't support the display:table properties from CSS2, which meant you either had to use hacks with floats (which was never designed for this) or use html tables. This gave CSS a bad rep, when it really was IE that was to blame.

California also has the worst electrical infrastructure in the nation, and is not doing something like "requiring the EV people who will stress it" to pay a tax for improvements, or if they wanted to be punitive, a tax on gas cars to pay for it, or anything other than saying what a great idea this would be and pushing for it on the environmental side.

Given that converting all cars in CA to electric would seriously stress the infrastructure[1], yet they are not doing anything to improve that infrastructure, I can't say i'm impressed with california's long term thinking here ...

[1] Some back of the envelope math: there are 20,665,415 registered autos in CA. I'm going to exclude light trucks and trailers which make up another 12 million, and essentially double our numbers because they need more power/etc. <10% of autos are electric, but i'll just remove 10% to round nicely, and say "18 million non-electric vehicles. If they move to 85KWH cars, depleted and charged once a week, now we have an additional 85KWH x 18 million cars of electric power being used once a week. That's 1,530,000,000 KWH or 1530 GWH extra that needs to be generated and distributed every week. That's 79,560 (52x1530) GWH a year.

California produces 200,000 GWH a year, mostly from natural gas: http://energyalmanac.ca.gov/electricity/electric_generation_...

So they need to produce and distribute 40-50% more electricity than they do now to make this happen. Note that generation ability has not really moved from 2000. In fact, it's gone down!
If they also want to meet their goal of moving generation to 33% renewable energy by 2020 (and eventually all of it), and thus provide this capacity without staying on gas, they'd basically have to double all available renewable energy output.

That's just the generation side. Then they have to make sure they can distribute it.

Don't worry though. I'm sure all the right people talk and plan this stuff together, and it's not just one part of the government doing something without thinking about the long term consequences that need to be planned for elsewhere - that never happens in government :)

Of course, the numbers above are just spitballing to show there is thinking that appears to not be happening (as to whether it's a good idea or not, i actually don't care whether my car is electric or not :P). The average car is driven 15 miles a day, so maybe it takes 2 weeks to deplete your 85kwh battery. But generally, no matter what sane thing you do to these numbers, halve them, double them (maybe cheaper cars use crappier batteries/engines, maybe they mean light trucks too, etc), it's still "a lot of extra to plan for". Even a 1-2% change in electrical capacity is serious business.

Until they actually have a serious plan for solving these issues, i'm just going to look forward to the lawn signs saying "80 volts is the new 120".

I also like how he says:

"My home is a place of peace. I don’t want to live with red hot heating elements and razor sharp knives. That sounds like a torture chamber."

But then seems to not find anything risky about having bare wires attached to a fully-charged car battery on his desk.

Absolutely. If I found myself out on the street tomorrow I would suck it up and take an Angular job if it came along. Beggars can't be choosers. In fact, I'm glad I have that flexibility if I really need it someday.
Sounds about right. Not having the time to work on implementing this sort of thing (even as a toy project) leaves me at the point where I sometimes read about the algorithms but can't see through them into the details.

I thought this too when I read the article. Then it occurred to me that I don't have any idea how many developers work on plugins for either. Looking naively at github files by type is unreliable, since so many people do things like keep their .vimrc and .vim files on github which artificially inflates the number of .vimL repositories.

What I do know is that if there's something I want done, I suspect there is a plugin that does it. So at least morally, there are sufficiently developers for both emacs and vim (in my experience).

Sure, C# has a terrible learning curve because you'd have to type `Console.WriteLine("Hello World")` instead of `puts 'Hello World'`.

`Console.WriteLine` is also totally unclear as to what it does compared to `puts`, which basically says exactly what it does. /s

Enigma|NYC

Enigma is a past TechCrunch Disrupt NYC Battlefield Startup Winner. We just raised a successful Series B Round and planning to rapidly grow this year. We started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come.

Beyond our core Web App (http://enigma.io/publicdata/) we are building revolutionary tools that we hope will make a significant impact in the the enterprise. We are roughly 40 people and moving to a brand new cutting edge space in the Flatiron neighborhood in NYC.

How is "a list of bad signatures" different from existing blacklists? It isn't. Spammers can just generate new signatures faster than you can mark them as bad... same as IPs, really. And if I manage to get somebody else's private key (which happens so often these days, it's not even funny), I can ruin someone else's career while I push my spam.

Unless, of course, you have a closed system everyone cooperates in; which is nothing like current email and cannot be rolled on gradually.

Honestly now? That list hurts because it's true, and you know it. You cannot wipe out spam without losing the decentralization element built into current protocols. Your "solution" would just add yet another "signal" to the long list of hacks spammers routinely implement.

(Not that I really care: I use gmail, trading my privacy for some of the best antispam systems money can buy, and I'm happy enough. I'm just a bit too old to still believe spam can be fixed, or that "webs of trust" can work at significant scale.)

"For storage a $65 lead acid automobile battery does the trick. It’s 12V so can be charged directly from the solar panel, and holds 420Wh, way more than I use in a day. That’s $0.15 / Wh so I don’t see why everyone is so excited about Tesla charging $0.43 / Wh for the Powerwall, sans inverter and installation."

I'm not smart enough to take this apart, but my gut tells me the best-in-class engineers and (tens/hundreds of?) millions of dollars in R&D at Tesla aren't going to be outwitted by Mr. I'm-Repulsed-By-The-Idea-Of-Kitchens. Anyone want to take a swing?

Not making any value judgments. I agree that centralization leads to problems (from the consumer's viewpoint) of collusion, lack of choice, etc. That's why the government has a duty to intervene when monopolies threaten to burden consumers - a competing law of nature called decentralization through regulation.

Ask an economist and you'll get different normative answers of how we should craft policy, but the positive answer will be the same across the board: it has happened with clothing manufacturing, publishing, radio, TV, food production, etc. and is now happening with the internet. A nascent and initially fragmented medium/industry attracts investment and develops standards; large conglomerations begin to form and M&A smaller players to gain market share, leading to a saturated market of heavy-weight players.
First week of work troubles
Hi HN! I am fresh out of college and have started working as a developer for a large financial company. I'm having a lot of trouble setting up my tech environment. I was given the technologies that we are using but am not familiar with them specifically. I have used similiar technologies but trying to get everything setup has been extremely difficult. It seems that other people are too busy to help and online material is very confusing. I was wondering if anyone else has had this same problem and could share some advice!
As a slight aside, how did you choose i3 over the other tiling window managers?

I chose xmonad at one time, but it was more or less by chance --- someone else used it that I knew, and so I tried it. But I haven't actually compared any.
It can be used with the mouse though, through `:set mouse=a`. I sometimes use it for quick jumping, because yeah, `45G6w` will also get me where I want to be but if the cursor happens to be near where I want to end up, clicking is just easier.
Reading this article I half expected the author to forgo vaccines to reduce his water consumption.

This is a hypocritical lifestyle through which the author outsources energy consumption so that he can live a falsely monastic life. A true monk reduces life to essentials but by doing so ends up performing much more daily work. They don't stand around all day enjoying how much less effort it takes to live the simple life. They take on the responsibility of meeting their own needs, usually through physical effort or toil, rather than lay those tasks on others.

This guy is a tourist spouting off about his low-energy hotel while sitting in the first class cabin of a 747. He's not flying the plane. HIS ticket is paid for with eco-bitcoins. We all are the ones killing the planet with our wasteful battery-powered watches.

PS: I hope he has a fuse or two somewhere on that rig. Electrons in combination with lead blocks swimming in acid are not your friends. But maybe he has outsourced that risk via renter's insurance.
