I know it was more of a joke, but there are actual reasons not to use ZZ. (1) The difference is small, but one could argue that shift-z shift-z are more like 3.5 clicks, while shift-dot x are certainly 3 clicks. (2) People are used to do a

Actually, why do so many people still use :wq? Vim has :x which does the same thing and saves a keystroke and saving keystrokes is what Vim is about, right?

I think you interpret that correctly.

I believe the general idea to integrate an actual Vim implementation like nVim instead of an emacs plugin would enhance the vim experience inside emacs a lot.

I tried NVim maybe 2 years ago. At this time it wasn't able to read my complete .vimrc. So that was a huge show stopper. Does that work now and can I be sure that nvim creates the same setup based on my rc file?

I can do that very simply. Just start writing. But please, don't parse that and send html emails.

Honestly most of the job is learned at the job. Then additionally comes reading papers, blogs and HN to extend the area of theoretical knowledge. Don't underestimate the power of pure crunching on experiment after experiment for 60h&#x

Let's just appreciate this rare piece of news. All the information presented, without interpretation, no fuss or ads around the post (maybe due to adblocker, don't know). Clean and simple. This is way, waaay, too rare.

No what is your point. (a) Why does paying $300mio to Twitter results in people getting killed? (b) Why do you think your government/companies/people would do better? (c) What you should be proud of if you like free markets is tha

Funny how this gets so many downvotes just for saying Iran may be more moderate than Saudi Arabia. If you really compare both countries it's really hard to say who's "better". Both disagree completely with our values. It

> $300 million is nice, but why sell your soul for it? This is what "taking money" means. You don't need to be more specific about the investor. You cannot take any money if you are not willing to give your soul in exchang

If you did that, you couldn't take US money either. Especially now that we've seen Trump and his friends, does anybody really consider them better than any other powerhungry folks?

Honestly, if someone offers you 300 million plus would you say no, because this someone belongs to a different culture group? The discussion as well as the headline of the article seems quite strange. I mean you want a free market or not. I

This should be only an experiment at best. Please don't waste so much time trying to turn a tool into something that it is explicitely not. If you just want an IDE experience use one that already exists. If you want to build your own o

I don't get what is new in the set of attributes that this article describes. Monte Carlo was already used in 2005 in AIs playing on KGS. Gradient Descent is a basic algorithm is a basic algorithm that I saw in an AI class in ~2008 as

Well, that is taught here since 2007 or so. Most start-up guys are just young and simply don't know. I guess you need to experience that first.

This is really nice for a crunch time. It doesn't have to be 5 years I believe. Even 3 months is possible, and this can be discussed with the boss as well, if you have a job.

Not 100% false, but you could put that argument under any HN discussion, which makes it rather pointless in itself. If that's a strong opinion of yours consider not reading HN. ;-)

Why do people consistently get convinced by two or three news paper articles that someone is good because the report is good? You cannot become leader of a corrupt organisation without being corrupt yourself. There's simply not enough

But then, by implied results, OP is also correct. The reason they are pissed by getting no clarification is because they don't want the "heretical" interpretation to get any foothold. And the reason the pope doesn't answ

lol. This doesn't even need a discussion. If you have a website hooking nearly all over websites without asking the users consent and without giving the user a recognizable way to opt out, then of course it is toxic. It is toxic by nat

Every end user that can't use ssh can't use VPN either. It's only a lucky coincidence if it works for a few for a limited period of time. It's just that many VPN Clients come with a very limited set of configuration and

And VPN encrypts your traffic directly to Facebook? No. At some point it also leaves the VPN's network.

You can provide the ssh server yourself. Which is not so hard. And security is something different than avoiding tracking. Avoiding tracking is very simply done by not using a centralized proxy which is maintained by someone else (like in V
