every country is in the business of protecting its own interest. the internet is now a front in any possible conflict and the right thing from our perspective just like it is from theirs is to be prepared. it's not evil (although it is somewhat evil if you aggress pre-emptively, which China does, and it's definitely possible that we do as well, as we have militarily in the recent past.)
as far as I remember this is a feature, the wifi connection stack on osx is trying to connect to recent wifis first with the mac address because that is much faster than trying to get a new lease and so on
It also causes occasional IP-address conflicts. Had this happening before and traced it to an iPhone using an IP-address it did not have a DHCP lease for.
yeah, it's kinda weird that they "promote" open source using closed source SW. at least they could have issues. I think to make the github code open source would have been something they should have done years ago. now gitlab has rewritten almost the whole functionality from scratch.
if you look at what happens with gitlab, just imagine how much it would advance github itself it they would have a repo for which people could open PRs
If that were to happen, why would anyone buy Github enterprise or even pay for a pro account? Their business model relies on closed source for their proprietary code.
They could still sell support. The "open source, closed addons, paying support" business model can work great (Red Hat, VMWare, certain Oracle products...).
no no no, i don't even need to read any of that. 6 hours sleep. perfect for me. not tired, almost always in a good mood. very simple and effective. i don't need no recipes, to know about deep sleep and all that.
you should not forget that people are very different. so don't try to impose all these rules on everyone just because it works for you.
Thanks for your comment! At the end of the day you have to find what works best for you. For some (lucky) people they can kick ass on just 6 hours of sleep. For others, they need to be consistent and sleep for 7-8hrs.
I didn't mean to impose anything on anyone, just trying to share some of the things I've learnt :).
ok, but your shouldn't make it look like rocket science. it's pretty simple for me and maybe I'm lucky, but I guess the most important thing is to tell people to experiment with their sleep. i would say most of these sleep issues have a rather simple cure and you don't need sleep apps, wrist devices, zeos etc.
all of this (I think) is Larry Page in action. for a long time there was no clear strategy with Schmidt. "products" would pop up everywhere with no clear relationship. now Larry is cutting the wild growth. while it hurts some people I think in general it will strengthen Google.
> Oh, and I’m pissed with Google Reader going away. I used it 3-10 times a day to consume about 100+ feeds.
look, if you want to have a more effective RSS reading habit, use rss2email http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/ and plug into the power of email-filtering. you don't even have to go to some "reader" to get updated.
it's funny how people praise Sublime Text when plain old Emacs can do most of the things that Sublime Text can:
> 5. vim compatability!
evil-mode - a very advanced vi layer for emacs, probably much better than vintage, I hear only good things about it although I use the standard emacs mode
> 4. Powerful Keybindings in JSON and Plugins in Python
there are many modes that support that if you want it. I personally don't like it though. "projectile" is pretty nice though: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile
Also perspective-el: https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el is fantastic for switching between multiple projects / window configurations giving you something like project sessions.
That's my biggest issue with Emacs: there are more than one million lines of elisp in circulation.
There isn't going to be any text editor come anywhere close to that.
I need something "programmable" so I'm "stuck" with Emacs.
I'm a bit bitter because sometimes (often actually) I wish Emacs was multi-threaded, easier to interface with externals tools (to make it a bit more like an IDE) -- that is, able to quickly invoke external tools without blocking everything etc.
But I realize that Emacs is soooo big that it's probably going to take a long time before we see a "modern" Emacs.
US = good, China and Russia etc. = bad
