It seems the crux of the article's argument is that Twitter is primarily a great tool for influential people to reach a wide audience. It is a sound argument. However, what will happen if these key people jump to the next big thing ? I

Has anyone used neovim yet ? Is it usable ? Is there any new features or are they only refactoring under the hood ?

The "issue" is probably not for the general workforce, but it will significantly reduce the number of not-so-qualified jobs. According to a quick googling "1 in 15 worker in a long truck driver according to the ATA" [1]

But if you can feel better, without having any possible dangerous side-effect, it is actually a powerful effect we should leverage for minor ailments. Most drugs are not trying to cure you anyway, but are only bringing you some relief. I am

I don't believe homeopathy works. However, I have seen studies mentioning that a placebo effect (which has a real measurable impact) can be triggered just by knowing you are taking a remedy, even if you know the remedy is bogus. So som

Only in some case, a "nosode", i.e a trace of the disease, is used. But it is not systematic. For example, oscillococcinum [0] which is sold as a flu remedy, is famous for containing some cells from a duck liver. If I remember co

I either go to work by car or by a combination of public transportation and walk. I don't know exactly why but the second method clears my mind much more than driving. It creates a clear frontier between work and home, while driving fo

If I want to quickly scan an article, I start by a few opening sentences, then go directly to the conclusion, and if it is not enough I will quickly scan the opening of some paragraphs to look for the most compelling arguments/experime

From the about section, it seems like it is some unfortunate name collision (or I missed something).

There is really no compelling evidence in the article that this Satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of Bitcoin. Regarding his stance to not discuss Bitcoin, I imagine he has already been approached by journalists (or lunatics) in the past, and

I used to read a lot pre-Internet times (2-3 novels) a week. I read a lot less now. I am still an avid reader, but it requires some additional effort to carve some book time in my schedule. No twitter, no facebook, (too much hn though) no s

This is expected, if you are freeing some of your attention and focusing on your breathing, intrusive thoughts will likely arise. Don't get discouraged or angry about your lack of attention, just refocus "gently" on the brea

And the further back we go in time, the less independent reporter we can find. For example, how much can you trust Caesar's account of its campaign in Gaul ?

Regarding the second point, building two cables in parallel would certainly not double the project price. (It could however pose additional safety challenge).

The course is not planned for 2014 yet. If it was for purely marketing reasons, they would have at least given some indication on a new upcoming session.

Having work in a similar environment, I know at least one company where most managers have a hardware/electronics background, because their product was mostly HW when they started to work 20 years ago. But now, the split is more akin

This is a bit disingenuous to say these kind of reflection were not possible before. What happened in the old days was that your social life was much more localized : your street, your neighborhood, your village, your parish, etc. So rather

If you work on (real time) embedded systems, it is pretty much a C and C++ world, at least for the lower layer, and middleware part. You can pretty easily work in Automotive, Aeronautics, Robotics, Defense, etc...

I think there are some use cases, like getting the syntax highlighting being processed by vim in another thread, that would help the responsiveness (or feeling of) if this was supported natively.

Every time you launch a process from inside vim (like grepping multiple files, generating tags for a large project, etc) it totally freezes the user interface. You can not execute any long task in the background, which is really annoying. S

I am pretty sure that if most MOOCs would offer a demo of the first few week courses without having to sign "officially", the attrition rate would be much lower. I see plenty of interesting courses on Coursera, but the one page +
