It should be able to use a Hindley-Milner algorithm.

To clarify the other answers: you will want to run one or two emacs daemon instances at startup and then edit files using emacsclient, which hooks up to the background daemon and pops up a new window instantaneously.

The more common Emacs workflow is to run a terminal inside of Emacs and edit remote files with Tramp, i.e. with a transparent remote connection.

If it were just an editor I would agree, but the #1 killer app, org-mode, puts it in a different class of application.

The biggest benefit of Spacemacs is not possible to replicate any other way: you can cd ~/.emacs.d/ and git pull and upgrade your whole configuration directory with new features and nifty additions and provided with org-mode. No m

Yeah that's the correct pronunciation, it's in the FAQ somewhere.

No benefit of relinquishing vim keybindings, but you have to learn some extra emacs bindings (like Ctrl+G to cancel) if you need to handle every situation.

A scriptable text-based web service? This seems like it could evolve into an online competitor for Emacs, something I could certainly find use for.

Um, yes, it's certainly research. The "heightened sensitivity" of musicians isn't just about being more aware of the richness of sound. The musician will likely score as more sensitive on every item of that test. The t

Yeah, the emotional life is part and parcel of human experience. But this article is talking about a heightened sensitivity, take all of the above and multiply it a few times over. Not everyone needs to sleep for a week after going on vacat

I agree that it's very unlikely engineers are more sensitive than the average person, but engineers can also be highly sensitive and perhaps it's useful to provide some advice for handling career-specific situations.

Not really. It's just a crappy / flashy exposition of some very routine psychological research.

It's only adding the yuan to a slew of other officially accepted currencies. The yuan is one of the most important world currencies anyway, and Zimbabwe does plenty of business with China already. Anything to help steer Zimbabwe's

Pretty sure author is just making stuff up. There's no content to this at all. One has no ground to make such empirical claims without showing any data backing it up.

Yeah, this "us-vs-them" tribal nonsense is seriously pointless in the realm of scientific research. I want to have stuff made of futuristic new materials due to innovation in chemistry and live to 120 due to innovation in biology

"Software is the exception." If I weren't reading this on HN... Your only argument is stating that the demand for lawyers is saturated. How is that different from saying the supply curve and the demand curve cross? This is ab

The standard on Windows is to toss a bunch of .dlls in with your distribution. Linux uses package managers and tries to avoid multiple copies of shared libraries.

But also get ridiculously lucky or be past the 95th percentile of coders.

Sounds like autonomous cars are for you!

I would hope that my autonomous vehicle comes with a "don't run red lights" option

Or as an alternative, they can invert! It really does save a lot of money.

No, it's not unicorns and rainbows. My argument does not rely on the existence of such ceteris paribus firms, my argument is that this will affect decisions to invest on the margin. Maybe right now, the margin is deciding between a g

Yes. I would even argue that advancing the common good includes a mandate not to pass unenforceable welfare-destroying tax laws.

by pzone 11y ago
If these tax laws incentivize productivity-destroying mergers then they are utterly moronic, immoral even. The Pfizer CEO said he wouldn't do it but for the tax savings. All these companies want to do is bring back their cash to the US

I agree to an extent, but nations are also competing on all of these other factors that make them more attractive places to do business. Some costly health care surcharge in France could be reduced as easily as the foreign profit taxation i

Yes. The reason is that corporations vote with their feet quite readily, as seen here.

I agree with you in general but there is another thing you're missing: the double taxation discourages investing in new businesses in the United States. If a VC is looking at two very similar businesses selling internationally, with on

Important part: middle column, where the rate is basically 0% everywhere except the US, where it is 30%.

by pzone 11y ago
Correct. That's why 0% is preferable to 8%, and Schumer-Portman should be thought of as a medium term stop-gap measure. 0% is the only stable rate. Eventually that will happen, but for the time being 8% will work as other revenue adj
