Do home and end take you at the zeroth and last byte of a document? I remember this, on graphical emacs. I ended up downloading and compiling nedit. Although I think there was a setting in emacs. (We had user sessions on Unix, to learn programming and matlab and stuff)
If remember correctly it is slightly more inconsistent. So home alone takes you to the beginning of the line, but shift+home takes you to the beginning of the document instead of selecting to the beginning of the line, which renders the usual emergant combos for selecting entire lines broken, and will send you far away from where you were and force you to navigate back.
Bottom line: Typing code on a Mac feels totally retarded.
And if you connect an external keyboard, try not ever to hit home or end... God, writing on a Mac makes me swear. You have to learn special shortcuts for copy/pasting a line, instead of using the natural emergent combos that work everywhere else. And Mac's doesn't even have home and end keys anymore, becaus they way Apple insist on mapping them is retarded.
Only the MBP with the touchbar has no "real" escape key, but a touchscreen one. If you don't like it go the the keyboard preferences and set your capslock key to be the escape key. Or buy the other which has a real escape key.
If someone thinks that Mark Zuckerberg will be sending them a notice that they won a magical lottery that they hadn't bought an entry in to begin with, then there is nothing that can be done to solve the real problem. (Hint: the real problem is not that Facebook allows people to use the name Mark Zuckerberg.)
A side-problem is the proliferation of professional services where organizations outsource their tasks like email, timesheets, etc, to, so it truly is becoming impossible to determine what is and is not a phishing attack. My university uses outsourced timesheet entry services, so you have to log in using your university credentials to do your monthly timesheet. They use an outsourced mailing list to send donation requests from the University Foundation. The e-purchasing website is off-site. Even if you personally never buy anything through the e-purchasing site, you get email regarding those purchases that way.
The only way to know a phish these days is because of the poor grammar and spelling. If the scammers ever hire native English speakers to write their phishes, we're all toast.
I keep getting emails from a domain called paypal-communications.com.. There is no way I am responding to any emails that doesnt come and have links back to the from the primary domain...
And people use google, facebook or twitter accounts to log on to unrelated websites. When you should NEVER give your password to another site when you are not on that site...
Web-security is truly fucked and the big guys are the ones fucking it up.
Maybe you dont understand the context. We are talking about mergers. You cant undo the mergers, you can only prevent them if they are potentially harmful.
You'd think. And yet a Slashdotter managed to make a snide remark about the way people use "natural" as a synonym for "good" AND implied that fossil fuels aren't natural (because they're "bad", presumably), in the same sentence!
I like your thinking. Let's call fossil oil for bio-oil, as it all comes from natural plant sources.
Then again. We unfortunately have to live with how people use words, even if they use them wrong.
They may be well-meaning; but they seem to be even more Regulation-Happy than the U.S. Congress, and that's saying something!
So now, nobody can have an online service that might POSSIBLY inadvertently gather data that might POSSIBLY be also gathered by a "Competitor"?
I don't know how Shazam works; but do you have to tell it what Streaming Music Service you might (or might not) belong to to use it? If not, then this is a horseshit suggestion.
It is an investigation into possible negative outcomes of the merger.. So you are opposed to anyone ever doing anything to preemptively prevent market problems before they occur?
Of course not. And to answer both you AND the snarky AC, no, it isn't ONLY when it's Apple; I just don't, in all honesty, see this acquisition as doing anything to give Apple an "Unfair Advantage" over other Streaming Services.
Please explain with some RATIONAL argument, how I might not be seeing something here.
And "Because... Apple" is NOT a Rational Argument.;-)

Natural gas was called that long before "natural" came to mean "good" to hippies.
It's called that because it is, well, naturally occurring and seeps out of the ground in gaseous form. The Chinese were capturing it and piping it around for heating stuff up in 500 BC.
It's also a fossil fuel. Virtually all fossil fuels are naturally occurring.
It wasn't called natural gas originally though. Because it predates non-natural gas by a millenia or more.
Even if you cut renewables out, Natural Gas is cheaper to extract, requires fewer workers, and is safer both to burn and acquire. This isn't propping up fossil fuels, this is preferring an industry whose workforce doesn't want to adapt or change.
And "natural" gas IS a fossil fuel. It is a marketing name the fossil gas industry came up with to make it sound friendlier.
And as long as we put up with being nickle-and-dimed, they'll continue to do it. What we have to do is to simply avoid games that charge 60 bucks for the "privilege" of even playing it, then another 30 for 0day DLC and another 30ish a month just to keep playing for the various tools and toys you "have to" buy to stay competitive.
As long as you keep paying, they'll keep milking you. Is that what you want?

That's more than a handful.

I have big hands :D
Still it definitely isn't most.

Isn't this why there are top level .gov sites?
No. .gov is reserved for US Government agencies only. They are not available to other countries.
Most other countries use a second-level domain against their country level domain for Government specific sites, like Canada's .gc.ca domain.
Yaz
No most countries do not do that. Only a small handful of countries ever had two level domains, and most of them are slowly getting rid of them now.

So Antifa gets to lose their right to vote? Maybe I can get behind this...
Ofcourse you would, fascists are always anti democracy.
...won't have a keyboard at all. By remove it, Apple says it'll now be waterproof.
And lose the money from "repairing" machines broken by Apple's bad engineering?? Never..
Only the MBP with the touchbar has no "real" escape key, but a touchscreen one. If you don't like it go the the keyboard preferences and set your capslock key to be the escape key. Or buy the other which has a real escape key.
Better yet, stay the hell away from Apple crap.

It IS a good idea, I've been advocating it for ages.
I wouldn't use it to ban you from flying though. I'd only use it to affect your right to vote, to claim social benefits (government money), etc.
You want anything back from society? Stop being antisocial!
Lose your right to vote for disagreeing with the government???
Yeah.. No!!!
..and thought 'That's a good idea!'.... Scary..
I believe the Chinese system predates the black mirror episode though, it was probably inspired by it.

China has shot far ahead of the US on deep-learning patents
More patents just mean they will lack behind in innovation as they are innovation inhibitors and not much else these days.

Bill, minor mistake; 1 gigajoule = 277 kwh.
1 gigajoule = 277 kwh. 1 gigajoule/hour = 277 kW
Which is what the GP said.

Yeah, zero tolerance is the only way.
Well, the biggest cases are lynching by buddist monks OF muslims. So it doesn't seem to hold up.
People are pissed because
a) It is anti-consumer
b) It is evil
c) It just happens to be really fuckign illegal.
Cool, I guess.. Though I would have used to on other companies first.
"Big pasta" is a thing?
You mean like giant shells, or extra-large rigatoni or Guinness-record mile-long lasagna?
Yes, pasta and especially spagetti should be as long as possible, according to Italians. You can find 2m long pasta in speciality stores.

Better tell Amazon they've got some really old stock.
Someone better because that is an insane ripoff on multiple levels, or just something old used crap someone is selling on Amazon.
You can't compare the two. Roads are paid for with liquid fuel taxes. Rail requires some other source of tax dollars.
Why not? If you can spend that money on rails and thereby get better working roads due to less traffic on them? Isnt that a better use of money?
