> 440 actually sounds better

I'm curious how you can tell. A double-blind test spaced a few minutes apart (enough for you to forget the frequency so you couldn't tell if what you were hearing was tuned higher or lower than what you heard on the previous trial) would be interesting.

> It's obvious that simply by using that technique alone (which can be used on a regular keyboard too), one can type many orders of magnitude faster than someone who's typing out each individual word letter by letter (or even phonetically).

It probably helps if the nature of the text you have to type is somewhat formulaic.

I think I remember Terence Tao talking about something like this in relation to Navier-Stokes.

> While this is occurring, Teslas with new hardware will temporarily lack certain features currently available on Teslas with first-generation Autopilot hardware, including some standard safety features such as automatic emergency braking, collision warning, lane holding and active cruise control.

Um.

You are coming across as being disingenuous, I fear. A side of the truth is just a part of it, but using "side" instead conveys the complex aftereffects that revealing a part of some data (the "truth", if you will) can have.

If you have damaging data on two people who are enemies of each other, publishing dirt on one but not the other is helping the other person -- taking a side, IOW.

If the HN crowd allowed for levity, this would certainly be an instance of the oft-celebrated "birth of a meme".

Is this an argument of sneaking in a book on elliptic curves that tangentially talks about cryptography?

(I kid, of course.)

This reminds me of easymotion.

I feel like I've seen the striking building on the left before. Does anyone know what it is?

I don't know, it seems like you've implemented some kind of macOS-wide Spacemacs :)

I have a pretty wacky config (xorg for me), but I'd never thought about shift-reversing. This is brilliant; I'm grateful for the tip!

> much closer to the actual AST

I thought Lisp code was its own AST, although I don't really know much about Lisp.

620 words per minute? While I do not have any form of visual impairment, I wonder how useful it would be to be able to absorb spoken information at that pace.

Can anyone tell me more about this?

This reminds me of the Library of Babel short story.

There's a GitHub version that is better-updated.

Lofty goals of that sort are fine, and easy to write about, but I wonder how the situation will change when someone inevitably uploads $MOVIE -- and for a fee! -- and the movie studios come knocking. Indeed, I do not expect (or hope!) that LBRY will act to evade copyright or IP law.

The point is, complete lawfulness and blockchain utopias aren't really compatible.

> What happens when you build your business on YouTube or Amazon and they change fees? Or Apple drops your content because the Premier of China thought your comedy went too far? Only LBRY consists of a known, promised set of rules that no one can unilaterally change. LBRY provides this by doing something unique: leaving the users in control rather than demanding that control for itself.

> It is also worth noting that in the event that LBRY received notice that either name contained an illegitimate copy of Spider Man, LBRY would dutifully and quickly put that content id on a blacklist, blocking discovery or purchase via any legal services. LBRY and users of LBRY are still subject to the DMCA and other relevant laws of their respective countries.

These two goals -- being subject to the DMCA (and similar laws), and promising a predetermined, immutable set of rules -- are incompatible.

As long as you intend to abide by $LEGAL_CODE, the set of laws you follow is not fixed since it is subject to changes in $LEGAL_CODE. What happens if the Premier of China, to use the example from the page, decides to make it illegal for some content to be viewed in China?

Of course, this is in addition to the whole problem of the bidding system being flawed since there is (apparently?) no concept of ownership, as opposed to a continuously running auction where the highest bidder as of some time controls an address. The idea is unquestionably elegant, but leaves open the potential of some evil party with significant funds taking control of your address, where you need to buy the address back, causing, e.g. some sort of Gawker-esque financial ruin. The only way to avoid this kind of thing is to have some kind of judicial arbitration. I suppose people still remember the whole Ethereum fiasco.

Besides, there may be two "reasonable" addresses for some content, or more. I find it highly unlikely that there is some kind of economics-assured "existence and uniqueness" theorem that assures otherwise. How about "/wonderfullife" vs. "/itsawonderfullife"? You will need some kind of signing or cryptographically robust identification system to ensure authenticity, because you risk not being able to keep up with a stream of DMCA takedown orders against YouTube-style indiscriminate uploading of copyrighted material.

We can now expand that stock phrase to "Atheist vegan vim-using crossfitter".

Probably other people served by the ISP in, say, the same city?

Yes, and we love them for it.

Euler?

Nope. Indian, but get "US Politics (Liberal)".

I believe separate APK files for separate resolutions may be a thing on the Play store, but I'm not entirely sure.

Maybe make it so that a comment can't be downvoted until it has at least one reply?

Ooh, that math reference.

Also the book that inspired the name Animals as Leaders.

SSL/info sec/whatever noob here. Why can they produce certificates for, say, google.com without the permission of Google? Or am I reading the article wrong?

Looks interesting! I'll have to give it a go today, thanks :)

The difference between vim and, say, Notepad++ as "programmer's editors" is that one is easy to start with, but you soon reach a limiting level of competence, beyond which your tools cannot take you. With vim, this does not happen, at least not for a very long time. Such tools are indeed hard to learn, but, properly used, they amplify your skills far beyond what you can do with "consumer-grade" software.

A child with a keyboard that has prerecorded music on it has much more fun with it than they would with a grand piano. And that's perfectly fine! However, if you're a professional pianist, you're going to want to go the Steinway route, even though it takes decades of practice to really make sense on one.

(Perhaps violins would make more sense as an example?)
