IANAL, but national origin and citizenship are two different things.

I can see nothing about where the servers are, which can impact latency dramatically in some cases. I have to serve to a chunk of our users in China, and I need to have at least a server in Asia. Am I missing something?

I don't know why my sibling comment is dead, but windows is the only non POSIX and UNIX-like still relevant. May be there is a niche non-UNIX OS that I don't know about? OS X is POSIX certified, and Linux and BSD are obviously U

Wouldn't it make sense to consider that, for instance, my dropbox or google accounts are amongst "my effects"? Yes, in a sense I'm handling data to a 3rd party, but in another sense they're just today's noteboo

What kind of monitoring are you talking about, if I may? That solution, unless you haven't told the whole story, doens't record anything, so unless I'm watching closely just when they're robbing my hose it will be all fo

Could awareness of the tension between the two be the difference between doublethink and intelligence, as defined by GP? I love the irony in following the first quote by holding both quotes in my mind, and considering that there is some wis

I agree, having to swap your battery is a pain in the ass, but even with a good battery life in the days it's nice to have that option as a backup. The main attractive of a swappable battery, to me, is replacing it 2 after 2 years of u

Not that I agree with them, but their point seemed to be that their service is accesible to all, independently of their wealth. That close, but not the same as free.

How are you then defining general-purpose? I'd say a language is general-purpose when it has not been tailored to a specific scenario or area of problems, but to work well for most. Isn't that, to a great extent, true for go?

I also think that the "no competition" point is overblown, but Sublime was still quite unique. It is very general purpose, not focused on any particular domain like Brackets, multiplatform, and with a great plugin ecosystem. It wa

They look like on a Mac because they're on ElementaryOS, a failry well-known Linux distro focused and usability that looks pretty much like OSX. They always use Macbook-like laptops for the images, I guess, because why would you not us

nvpy is a functional but admitedly very ugly linux clone. Both can use Simplenote, which works similarly if you're fine with a webapp. For the windows crowd there is the also ugly-but-functional ResophNotes.

Yes, of course they can't steal the source code, nor the OS itself. There OS is used in a broader sense. They want to steal Google's position of inmense power in the Android ecosystem.

I coded in C# for a few years, used plenty of Lambdas and a handful of annotations in Class definitions. Everytime I had to go back to Java I missed them to death. I never felt like interface patching was a problem for me, may be because I&

We use thought experiments about magically appearing money, but the aim would be to later try to apply those ideas to more realistic cases of, for instance, risk-taking.

You can have it in a way... Emacs + EVIL mode make for a pretty good Vim, and with some effort almost all Vim plugins can be replaced on emacs. You'll still miss some things if you are a hardcore user of a very customized Vim, ofc. I&#

Other IDEs do the same. I guess it's an special case: all of an IDE's users are pretty damn tech-literate, will probably agree to devote some time to learn its language and tricks, and value screen real state. I've only had t

I've done that and it was a pain in the ass to get working. It worked, albeit slowly. I didn't try to deploy to an iOS device from there, is that possible/relatively easy too?

I quite like that formulation too.

It's just an heuristic, something to look for when evaluating a model of the world, not an strict, objective and precise rule. However, in that example, I'd say that modern medicine certainly has a "too much vitamin C" t

Other comments say that these recordings are unlinked from your account after some time (6 months for apple) or you turn this feature off. In a previous HN [1] post we learned that third parties can listen to these anonymized recordings to

Sublime has a "save on focus lost" option, so you don't even have to remember saving.

What about samba/shared folders, ftp, or even sshfs if you are a unix user. If you like Emacs, there is Tramp, and I know Vim has something equivalent.

I agree with you in that multi-line conditionals should go, and no beautifier is going to make it up for bad code, but it's still great that they try. You can't always devote as much time as you'd like to make the code perfec
