In UnrealEngine scene everyone is on Maya: hobbyists are on student versions, studios have proper licenses.

Actually I really hope Epic creates a modelling tool. They currently use Maya in-house and it's awfully clunky: a competitor moving in to their space might hopefully spawn the intention to do the same to Autodesk.

Vim does have the ability to insert text on multiple lines.

in visual block mode (CTRL-V or CTRL-Q), select a column of lines you would like to edit. Then, you can enter insert mode or paste and it will do the same thing on all the lines selected.

so to edit 4 lines at once it would be (CTRL-Q)3jI and then type in whatever i want and when I exit back to normal mode the text will appear on all 4 lines.

I'm pretty sure the base install of vim has everything you're looking for, it just requires a little reading. One problem that vim does not have is a lack of documentation. My favorite uses of tabs is scripting a work space based on context. You can start vim with several tabs already open:

It's nice to see they're taking another try at this. But I don't expect anything server-side to realistically work. If you outlaw online tracking, then only outlaws will track people online. And we know many outlaws download videos, music, and games, so what's to stop many outlaws from continuing to track?

I don't see an end to the browser-side escalation of Adblock/uBlock, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, uMatrix, etc.

To me that appears to be the strangest way to express a loop in any language I've used (and I've used a lot of them).

It also really bothers me that in ruby you can invoke a function on a null value to see if its null (myvar.nil?). That's really messed up...
sounds to me like employers want to "churn and burn" through young talent
8088 MPH: The final version
My thoughts exactly. The same fallacy exists with back testing. OMG this system made 100,000% ROI from 1987~2010! There's so much that happened in that time frame completely unpredictable yet so catastrophic. The fact that they naively trust a bunch of academics to catch rogue traders or terrorists based on past data is laughable. When will people fucking learn? Not my problem I guess.

I also thought originally this was about Hacking Team-esque firms selling spy tools and play cat and mouse with the SEC. SEC always wins.

The "technology" industry is extremely and irrationally picky in selecting and retaining technical employees, primarily programmers or software engineers.

Not everyone does it. Not every company that does it does it consistently. It is largely subconscious. Technical or "cultural fit" excuses are typically cited to explain and justify the rejection of the taboo candidate.

There are a number of non-technical criterion that frequently push genuinely qualified, competent, indeed exceptional candidates into the "not qualified" category.
These include:

o Over thirty-five

o Looks over thirty-five (worse)

o White or gray hair (even worse)

o Has a Ph.D.

o A new or recent (within 2 years) Ph.D. (worse)

o Lack of a college degree

o Identifiable membership in certain low status minority groups, notably African-American or someone with a Spanish surname and visible American Indian ancestry

o Female

o Over ten years of purely technical experience regardless of age.

o Less than three years of paid professional experience (working for a University or government research lab often does not count)

o Expresses skepticism of a currently popular fad in programming

o Obviously knows more or is smarter or both than the people conducting the technical interview.

o Just plain different from the dominant group at the potential employer is some visible way.

o A long recent period of unemployment (over six months, probably over three months)

By his own account, the OP lacks a formal college degree and is well over 35.
That's very generous.

Not sure if this matches your criteria, but I've been wanting to run some extensive benchmark tests on the most multi-core EC2 instance that I can get for this Elixir project: https://github.com/a115/exmatrix

I probably don't need more than a couple of days of uptime to complete this, and the results will of course be made public, with proper credit for your support. jdimov at a115 co uk

The author of kakoune initially intended to rewrite vim from scratch, so there is definitely a similarity. A big difference is that kakoune operates in terms of selections rather than motions, with built-in support for things like multiple cursors as well. I find it more intuitive to use than vim, and just as powerful.
> thinking a Computer Science degree had any value.

Interesting. I thought that in 1984, and I've been right ever since then. As have most of the classmates I have kept up with (perhaps a self-selection bias there, granted).

Maybe it was the time or I've been very lucky. <shrug>

AppFolio, Inc | Application Security Engineer, Security Operations Engineer | Santa Barbara, CA (On-site, full time) | http://appfolioinc.com

AppFolio is seeking to hire two security roles: AppSec Engineer and SecOps Engineer, both located in Santa Barbara, CA.

If working with a team of smart, dedicated developers and ops engineers at a growing and successful organization sounds appealing, please consider applying!

Application Security Engineer will work primarily with AppFolio's several web applications, conducting internal security assessments and helping AppFolio's agile development teams implement security features and fixes.

Security Operations Engineer will work primarily with AppFolio's infrastructure, conducting internal security reviews, monitoring external threats, and helping AppFolio's Web Operations team maintain state-of-the-art infrastructure.

I'm sure AppFolio is hiring for other roles, too -- but I'm not involved with those. You can find more information (including how to apply) about these jobs and others at http://www.appfolioinc.com/jobs -- or by reaching out to me directly.
They have? I've been using computers since the mid 80s, and unless you think loading apps from floppy disk, datasette, or cartridge, counts as "install less", this is a disingenuous rebuttal.

The Web brought with it portable executable content that ran without escalated privileges or install, and this did not exist before in any widescale deployment accessible by endusers.

Prior art is General Magic Telescript and SafeTcl, or perhaps PostScript or NeWS if you want to count those as wide deployment.

The difference between the Web and Install models, is that installation doesn't scale to the long tail because it places shit work on the user to manage limited resources (screen real estate, disk space). The Browser Cache doesn't impose this cognitive burden. There is no cost of cleanup imposed on you by clicking a web link. The back button takes care of it.

That's why it's "surfing" because it is effortless and imposes no long term transaction cost. To try out a web site, you click it, if it sucks, no harm no foul.

Native apps are completely different. To check and see if you'll like an app, you have to install it. It consumes permanent resources. If you then decide you don't like it, you have to permanently uninstall it. Many people are so burdened by this step, they leave unused unliked apps on their device. Then one day, they run out of space when trying to take a photo or download a new app and find that they must then go clean up their memory and delete a bunch of stuff. An incredibly shitty experience that the Web Browser solved ages ago.

Android and iOS apps should work more like Java Applets or Flash. You should be able to run them without install, and then only if you like them a lot and run them many times, should you optionally pin them from being purged.

>Since most my time is spent concentrating on understanding code, the last thing I want is an editor that forces me to consciously think about text operations. "d[downkey]4" might be theoretically more efficient, but I spend way less cognitive energy holding down the shift key and pressing the down arrow 4 times.

The point is well taken, but don't forget that for most people that downside of increased cognitive pressure goes away after a few days or weeks of regular vim usage. I've been using it for about a year and all the combos I normally use are second nature to me (and have been for months). Don't underestimate the human brain's ability to grow and adapt and for incredibly complicated things to quickly turn into routine.

For the record, I almost never use vim's much touted hit a number key then an action to do it n times feature. I have modified it so j and k do the normal down/up one line and J K go down/up seven lines or so for scrolling. [1] If I'm doing something like deleting a line and have to delete a bunch (common case), then I'll "dd" to delete line and then hit "." (which repeats the last action) three or four times until satisfied. Way easier than counting the number of lines to delete then typing "4dd" imo.

[1] Note for anyone who wants to duplicate this: it was still unbearably slow to just hold down J or K to scroll because the default delay between depressing a key and when OSX decides you are actually holding it down and not just pressing it once is too long. Decrease it in the native settings of your OS for a smoother experience.

Calling for a moratorium sounds very dramatic, but I suspect PPK wanted to use dramatic language to make the point that we're not putting enough thought and exercising enough caution about what we're introducing to the web. These are not free experimental features we can add willy-nilly that we can easily remove when we don't like them anymore. They have the potential to introduce an incredible amount of globally shared technical debt if they're bad enough.

Between standing still, and desperately adding features to make the web competitive with native platforms, I'm inclined to slow it down. I don't think the web is seriously threatened by native platforms. Even when we did experience feature freezing between 2001-2007, the web remained king despite attacks from Flash.

I don't think the web is under real threat from mobile native platforms. It's nothing that performance tuning and Moore's law can't address in time.
Hey, the condition was whether or not one can program on iOS or Android. One can program on Android with Ruboto. Question answered, never mind UI "deficiencies".

In reality, Ruboto IRB's UI isn't that bad (it supports command history, and isn't stuck with a Gingerbread-era UI like most program-Android-on-Android environments are (I'm looking at you, Android Forth)). It's also significantly less bad on a tablet with a keyboard (or even without the keyboard).

Even if we go by the assumption that this is true, it's then not going to be exclusive to the technology industry.
You are describing some blatantly fraudulent bookkeeping right there.

Let's say you charge $0.15/kWh for "green" electricity and $0.10/kWh for "black" electricity. You can't change the color of the electrons once they are in the grid, just to make more money.

To say otherwise is to end up with stupid schemes like using a sulfur plasma lamp, powered by coal-burning, to shine artificial light on a solar cell. Or run air fans with your nuclear steam turbine to blow air across your wind turbines. Or endlessly pump the same water over a hydro turbine.

Power from pumped storage generates the same "color" of electricity as the electricity used to run the pumps. If the grid was 15% green when it went up, it will be 15% green when it comes down.
It's hard for anyone in a capitalist society, stuck in the socio-sick-environment to erase the conflation of monetary success with freedom. So we falsely assume a grind, a saturday crunch, for the "small" underdog-company-spin-of-the-wheel means that you have a company of all loyal, blood-brotherly employees. It's a nice thought if 1) the company ends up being successful, and 2) the employees actually have a bit of equity. But most of the time, these spiritual kind of ideas and feelings are just abused to justify treating employees like shit to exact a capitalistic work efficiency from them. It's definitely an airy kind of issue. And I'm not sold on the whole 'crunch' thing. Though as a programmer, when I work on my own projects, I know that crunching means I'm passionate. So it's very hard to separate that and have some solidarity for a normal work situation where I have balance and yet feel as if I'm not just "sucking" on the situation for a slow rolling accomodating situation, and well, that whole 'slow burial.' Maybe I am just slowly rotting away with my current passion for work. Just maybe..

No, it's a brilliant use of polymorphism. "null" in Ruby is not a value, it's like everything else an object. So it have methods.
