It's great, once you remap CTRL-B to CTRL-A.

But CTRL-A is muscle memory beginning of line for me.

and Ctrl to Caps Lock :)

Even the slimmest of cases makes that invisible.

For a company (and its customers) that rave about the design and look of the phone itself, covering it all with a case seems like the exact opposite of what one would expect to be the norm.

Then I guess that means we can put to rest the idea that Apple puts form over function.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I have a Pixel by Google, and it's gorgeous, but I'm terrified of ever using it without a case.

I heard on the news that 10,000 construction jobs would be created, so perhaps both are right - 10,000 temporary construction jobs, and 3,000 permanent/plant jobs.

You mean like all the jobs the Keystone Pipeline was going to create that looks closer to less than 100 in the long term? http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/24/investing/keystone-pipeline-...

Counting temporary construction jobs as permanent seems a little misleading.

Politicians mislead to look better?!?

Though you are right, this looks like an exceptionally misleading deal from the point of view of the taxpayer. When I think of Foxconn workers I dont think of the kinds of jobs I think we would want to heavily invest in, but I hope I am wrong.

I wonder if there would be room for a public key / dual encryption for the video produced that both the doctor and the patient would need to sign off on to view the video, or something like that, to add some kind of viewing trail/authentication/authorization.

I mean, who's to say any given doctor's office doesn't have a hidden camera/microphone somewhere anyway.

Well, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a doctor's office (when the door is closed), so even in single-party recording states this would be illegal. Also, HIPPA wouldn't allow this, so the doctor's office would be fined pretty heavily for every patient recorded.

If you're having paranoid delusions, visiting a doctor's office may be a good start, despite the small possibility of hidden cameras and microphones.

I am one of the dozens. If only I was able to locate a history-related technology job. It seems like you need to be in Washington DC to find anything like that.

In the Netherlands, where I live, there is the International Institute of Social History, which does a lot of data processing, and has programmers as employees. As a student I screw up an interview very badly, by not showing up. I still regret it after 20 years. How stupid can a youngster be. On the other hand I don't have any complaints about my work and pay and benefits at the jobs I have had since then, which probably would have been very different had I gone the historyprogrammer route.

I'm quite happy that at least three historian-programmers have come together, here.

Add fourth!

But I quit the academic path due to economic reasons, i.e bad pay, and needing to apply to grants. I think unless you're explicitly acknowledged as an engineer/programmer it's hard to get anything remotely competitive.

My wife is a historian, I'm a programmer. That does not make me the fifth but at least a sympathizer ;)

We should start a club! ;)

Lawful normie

If comments in code are worthless.. then why aren't we all using some language that has no comment system built in?

The essence of middle class is being able to do all those things.

I think it's mostly because getting it wrong is a Pretty Big Deal, so people aren't sure if they can trust themselves and the scheme they came up with.

Give me a break. A guy wants to reduce his carbon footprint on the earth and save money and just enjoy a scenic view and that makes him a bad guy?
