Thanks for the warning. Going to make sure I liberate all my Nook ebooks tonight.

No, but it's why people with H1-B visas aren't the highest earners in technology.

Any support for nearest neighbor joins? They are very important for aligning events in time series data sets.

That is not what either Rust or Haskell are. It would behoove you to have a passing familiarity with what someone says before responding to them combatively

When you say faster: Did you try starting emacs in daemon mode and connecting to it with emacsclient?

I still kinda miss vim -p (and I am not a huge fan of eyebrowse as a replacement for vim's tabs), but that very much solved the speed issue for me.

Pretty much okay. I've been using it in PuTTY and it works, but there's definitely been some jiggery poking to get it to play nicely.

I feel like it's more for vim users who need a gentle introduction to emacs (me) and really don't want to leave modal editing and more advanced vi features behind. It goes a lot further in emulating the day-to-day vi experience than literally anything I've ever tried before. But it's also a pretty nicely managed set of extra packages that are all smacked around to play nicely with each other.

If you've been using emacs for 20 years and already know how to do stuff and maybe even write your own modes, then it's proooobably not for you. (I mean, you coulda been using evil a long time ago).

Were those the only buckets? It might simply be confusion if they wanted to answer: "Can't find a job worth a damn"

I don't think the GP's suggestion is smart or good either, but I don't see how it would fail to allow for capital accrual.

It's not like you have to pay yourself all your earnings in wages as the owner of a business.

In my experience, Screen is a crashy piece of garbage.

tmux is comparatively rock solid.

I look forward to Police departments hiring adults with learning disabilities so they can use qualified immunity to deliver grossly improper warrants.

Did we watch different films? The end of the movie was about realizing that emotional experiences are complex and that it's ok to be sad about things and that you shouldn't run from negative emotions.

Every person had an anger too.

Not sure how you got the notion that the film makers thought anger is bad.

I don't think ASN.1 supports disjoint types, so that is a decent argument for capn proto's continued existence at least.

Corporations are legal constructs that require specific domain knowledge to correctly administer and develop. MBAs are ostensibly targeted at that (in the same way Computer Science degrees are ostensibly targeted at teaching you domain knowledge to think and reason about the specific mathematics that underlie computers and software).

What you get out of them and their utility probably is very contextual in the same way any degree is.

My suspicion is that for many roles and at many times in a technology business, the utility is low, but that for some roles at some times, it is quite high.

Ultimately, the thing that's might be funky is that if you hire someone for their expertise in domains pertinent to MBAs, you are putting them very close to having control of the legal construct of your business. Like a sysadmin, you need to place a lot of trust in them to ensure they are doing their job correctly if you don't have the domain knowledge to provide careful oversight.

> you'd be surprised how cautious some physicians are

I'd be a fuckton more surprised if there weren't hundreds of companies trying to sell drugs regardless of efficacy.

I look forward to privacy conscious individuals taking steps: https://cvdazzle.com/

Oh give it a break. If you had to rest orders for a second, then HFT would evaporate.

SIR! I SAY SIR! WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY THIS GENU-INE BOTTLE OF CALIFORNIA RATTLESNAKE OIL?! IT IS GUARANTEED* TO CURE WHAT AILS YOU!

*guarantee not FDA approved. Ingestion or skin contact with Rattlesnake oil may result in loss of life, loss of limb, cotton mouth, and spontaneous human combustion.

iflipb sounds like it more or less scratches the thing that makes me itchy even if it's not quite my old itch scratcher. Thanks!

The buffer list is shared across the entire emacs daemon. So if I have many files already open in different client sessions and start running buffer next commands, I'm cycling through a very long list.

Because you never ever start vim in a daemon mode, opening with -p creates a local list of files that you can cycle amongst. Additionally, the top line tells you which file you have open and which files are next and previous in the list of files you cycle through.

I've always just found it rather nice since I tend to jump around between the same handful of files while I'm working and hitting gt two or three times is often faster and more mindless than remembering the keystrokes to invoke helm-projectile-find-file and also the name of the file I want to switch to.

More to the point: Access to money begets money.

Ehhhhh... don't fluff the street up that much. I would say that there are plenty of really smart people who can math the fuck out of things, but that generally the software engineering precision is not what you would expect given the amount of money and effort that goes into this stuff.

Given no other information, I'd probably take an engineering manager from SV over one from Wall Street, but I might want a Wall Street PhD over a SV one, unless the task was to build a programming tool. Then I'd throw all the WS guys into a ditch.

Seems like that only really works for GUI emacs. I use command line. I tried enabling it and it doesn't seem to, y'know, work.

I've also tried evil-tabs, which doesn't work with spacemacs, at all. And eyebrowse doesn't actually use tabs (also it doesn't maintain working directory state when opening a new workspace, fun!)

I dunno, emacs is very much, "Here's a half-implemented solution that pays zero attention to ergonomics. Just... y'know, fix the rest of it so it doesn't totally suck."

And I just don't have the experience to do that yet. Which is why I'm using Spacemacs. Which more or less actually tries to do the ergonomics correctly.

edit: I'm also hoping Cunningham's Law works in my favor here.

Since I moved to spacemacs, I've been doing this.

However, I am bummed by emacsclient's inability to open multiple files from the command line.

And apparently the total lack of a Tab-like experience on Emacs in general. I used to use "vim -p" SO MUCH.

Flickr has direct upload from Lightroom...

Actually, I think that's built in to Lightroom.

Speaking of hiding in an asteroid belt: How big and how far apart are the objects in Saturn's rings? I can't find a discussion of it except for an oblique mention in Wikipedia's article that they can get up to 2km in size.

It's too fucking slow! Every interaction with a non-Apple app takes like 5 seconds just to boot the app.

Siri goes away and thinks for dozens of seconds when you ask her something and sometimes never comes back. Even once text has been translated from speech, it sometimes takes 5 seconds to actually send a text.

The functionality is amazing, but the speed of the device is abysmal.

I love everything that it does do, but it is too painful to do it.

I object only on the grounds that Flickr is the only good photo site for people who really care about their photos.

Having tried to use 500px for a few months, they cannot even manage to do album privacy correctly.

I cannot evaluate the claims made within. But I respect cneukirchen who linked to it, so I thought HN might have an interesting discussion.

Hey, I know you're saying you're not an expert on Flink or Spark, but do you know if Flink and/or Spark allow you to merge a stream in real-time into a data set that you can run queries against?

Generating analytics directly off a stream has never seemed that useful to me. Being able to take all the data in the stream and merge it with previously collected data, then query that merged data is the sort of thing I need to be able to do.
