I am not sure why Asian Phone companies would do anything. As far as we see, only Chinese companies might want to. Asia is big and includes a lot more countries than China. Other asian countries are in the same bucket as Europe in movin

http is still a part of the standard library, and having used it recently, I find the API good enough.

One day out of sheer boredom I was checking who is the youngest turing award winner. And it turns out Knuth is the youngest, having won the award at 36 years of age.

Not beating Dropbox, sure Microsoft may not care about that even now. Not beating the iPhone, one of the most successful consumer electronics products in history, they will always care.

I should have been more precise. Cosmo DB is their core distributed database offering. Neither of SQL server of PostgreSQL is a distributed database. Both require applications to deal with the presence of multiple database nodes (sharding).

That sounds really bad. I wonder how did Azure gain marketshare with a core offering (database) being so broken.

This tweet is absolutely ridiculous, but sadly at the same time represents a non minor opinion.

Nowhere did I say Government should be able to throw out free speech. I am just acknowledging what I have observed. If you think my observations are incorrect, please feel free to go through the relevant HN threads (e.g, https://

I don't think so. Most people ( and a lot of people on HN) really believe that online platforms should be able to suppress such unlawful videos. And it's not a completely unreasonable position.

I don't think any new platform is going to be able to compete with YouTube at all with the current regulations. How will any new platform comply with new EU copyright laws, or remove unlawful videos as quickly as YouTube? (e.g the unfo

Org mode is simply awesome and the only reason I open emacs these days. I still haven't managed to find a software, free or paid, which has the same amount of flexibility.

Curiously, what governance system do you believe in. Philosopher Kings like Plato suggested? Doesn't history show us that all government systems are flawed. Do you think there is any hope for humanity in some alternative system?

The vim configuration process can be easily automated. I too put .vimrc on any machine I use vim on. The problem is auditing. Do you have time to audit the plugins you use? Do you keep up to date with their changes(license, policies), or si

I don't think there is any issue with Vim itself, and can't see why any place would disallow it. I still use vim on remote servers, and am quite happy with it. Being proficient with vim helps you do things faster for sure. The iss

One major advantage of Jetbrains products which I realised after getting a corporate job is I don't need almost any plugins and the experience out of the box is better than anything offered by vim or emacs(granted this is subjective).

Vundle does install YCM, but you need to execute some more steps (compile the ycmd server), which vundle doesn't do, and YCM doesn't work without the daemon compiled.
