That's a fair point. But have you considered that maybe Harlem would be hard pressed to find investors, even if the investors got a Visa? It would only take away investment from other areas if a) all the investment visa spots are fully

HOCON is pretty much the same thing. Why not use that instead?

Why aren't sales people paid hourly? Incentives are better aligned when you get a percentage of the contract value. Not completely aligned (the real estate agent is going to be optimizing for deal-flow, not absolute highest price), but

That’s not what’s going on at all. You think that if Hudson Yards wasn’t built, Harlem would somehow get all that money? That’s not how it works, it’s not a zero-sum game.

I’m not sure what is so bad about this. Hudson Yards got money, investors got visas. Why is this a problem? It’s not like it’s taking investment from low income nrighborhoods: it’s not a zero sum game.

I’ve never used it, but I use prelude. Is spacemacs better?
757.
by mruts 8y ago
spacemacs is for vim users. No one who doesn’t use evil mode uses it. Also most people who use evil-mode probably use spacemacs. Emacs keybindings are burned into my brain at this point, but if I had to do it again, I would probably go with

The best emacs mode I’ve ever used is org-mode. Inline LaTeX rendering, inline images, outlines, TODOs, it’s amazing. And when you add yasnippet in to the mix, it gets even better. I can write up math notes faster than someone could write i

Are you saying that you shouldn’t be able to consider skin color in movies or tv shows? Because that would be pretty ridiculeous.

cocaine and meth don’t have withdrawels. alcohol, benzos, and opiates do. I’m not sure you could agree that one group is “harder” than the other.

I work in finance a good number of people are popping pills and doing lines in the bathroom all day long. It’s a little rarer, but a not insignificant group of people are doing heroin as well. I used to be addicted to the stuff and ended up

They occasionally do, but it’s not really worth it. Companies have different needs and it would be pretty absurd if the government was trying to ensure that there was ethnic diversity in, say, a stereotypical hip hop music video.

Astonishing? They own the means of production, you are the means of production. But let me give you an example of how these sort of laws have severe unintended consequences: In some states it is illegal to ask a potential hire if they have

Moreover, Thorpe was a polymath genius. So I’m not sure these four horsemen were thst influential. He later went on to make a killing running one of the first true long/short hedge fund and pioneering a lot of modern portfolio manageme

I got coauthored for formatting my coworker’s paper with LateX in the field of computational biology. So don’t get too excited.

They should have put the twin on earth in a simulates space station for a year. Also maybe the lack of bacterial biodiversity was a factor. I used to work analyzing DNA sequences of gut bacteria of MS patients. Surprisingly enough, bacteria

What funds are those specifically? Certainly not the S&P 500. The Russell 3000, but they don’t have a choice. The point of investing is deciding what you believe in (financially speaking)! If you don’t like Uber, make some money on it!

Is being white a relavent factor here? What if you had said black instead?

Um... never? Why would they strike? If anyone cared, and I don’t think anyone does, they would just leave.

It's pretty trivial to implement like a 10 line FFT algorithm in haskell in probably an hour or so. Had to do it back in school. So I'm not exactly sure about what is so simple about this.

You never read any articles on HN? Maybe you shouldn't be commenting if you've literally never read a single one?

Wouldn't a better solution be to read news but not be outraged by it?

I mean, you could say the same thing about the assets of a hedge fund. But it turns out that if you want to, you can convert most assets to cash. Of course, the more quickly you want to convert, the more money you lose.

I’m not sure open bugs is a metric that anyone cares about.

Personally, I think FF and Gecko are superior to Chrome in most ways. Better and more powerful add-ons, less memory usage, and faster performance. Before quantum, FF kind of sucked, but now it’s amazing. Also I haven’t noticed many situatio

org-mode with latex yasnippet expansions is the best note taking method I’ve ever used. Inline images, tables, ans latex. So seemless.

by mruts 8y ago
..which is why you wouldn’t use org-mode? Org-mode does all of those things and more: inline images, tables, latex, etc.

What’s wrong with pandoc? I use org-mode but only export with pandoc because it works better.
