Don't think they ask for banking username and password. They only state they will directly debit it from your account, which does not require sharing your bank credentials. All you probably need is a one time authorization for them to be able to debit.

Looking around on forums like XDA, one sees that LG typically has different models depending on the market. The tech specs are identical, but it has more to do with carrier branding and lockdown. For instance, in markets such as the EU, LG G4 shipped with an unlockable bootloader while in the US and Asia it was not. Workarounds and custom ROMs exist, but you also see plenty of stories about bricked phones. Put simply LG simply does not have the friendliest attitude towards developers, as opposed to say HTC. They are compelled to release GPL source code for the device, but getting it to run on your device takes a bit of work.

Thanks. Upvoted your solution, but I see some problems with this approach for my workflow:

1. I run emacs-server, so the init file is run only during restarts OR when I manually load it from emacsclient.

2. Re-exporting all dotfiles seems rather redundant. I prefer to selectively export individual dotfiles only when I have made changes to it. That's why I was interested in the 'deploy' part.

I am not familiar enough with Babel, but it definitely seems to offer a more centralized way of managing my dotfiles. It's going into TODO.

Interesting approach! Think you can provide us with a small working example, especially the 'deploy' part?

I hope people start including information on platforms when posting apps that are not cross-platform. Some hint such as 'OSX only', 'iOS only' or 'Windows only' in the title would help uninterested ones among us tone down our expectations or avoid the topic altogether.

Complete eradication of mosquitoes would be counter productive, especially given that mosquitoes are a major reason some places such as tropical forests have low human activity - http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35408835. Selectively countering the harmful traits of mosquitoes appears to be the best way to go about it.

A disproportionate amount of traffic seems to be passing through Monrovia, Liberia compared to the rest of African continent and even more developed places like Australia. Can anybody shed some light on this ?

If all you want is a dropdown terminal emulator with Cygwin/git-bash or the windows command prompt why not just use https://conemu.github.io/ . You can configure it to behave just like guake/yakuake. No need for Python scripts.

Off the top of my head, memes are one of the biggest contributions. Examples such as nyan cat, rickrolling, crudely drawn cartoons etc. Not to mention 4channers once even rigged the Time man of the year poll. One can also find negative influences such as extreme trolling.

The influence is not on the technical side of things, but more to do with shaping internet culture.

This is my choice for tables on Python - https://github.com/Robpol86/terminaltables. The appearance of tables is adequately configurable. The project is also actively maintained unlike some of the others.

Not much love here for Droid family it appears. Droid Sans Mono has been my go to monospace font for years now on different platforms. Ideal fonts are subjective, but this font is most comfortable to my eye on both shell and editors when antialiasing is turned on. Strangely enough I find Noto Sans which is derived from the same family less pleasing.

An interesting article, which begs another question. Are the intestines of Japanese bigger compared to those of neighbouring Asians - the Chinese and the Koreans (from whom they apparently descended despite a reluctance to accept this fact) ? This should answer the question of whether it's the genetics at play or the diet itself.

Remember the American doctor mentioned Asian women and not Japanese. Statistically speaking there is a higher chance that the woman with long intestines happens to be Chinese. His comment also brings up another interesting question as to whether the lengths of male and female intestine are different. Why did he mention women specifically?

You should check out Otter browser (http://otter-browser.org/). It's FOSS, an Opera 12 clone and uses Qt5. Despite it still being in a beta with known bugs it's under active development and quite usable in its current state.

Timelapse of the volcano on Io referenced in the article http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/io-volcanoes... (2013). It's easy to forget Pluto & co. are not the only things unravelled by the New Horizons.

Thanks you make a distinction and the pics really drive home your point. I guess the problem is the label 'true color' which has stuck for a long time to a refer to statistically determined hues. Maybe we should label 'actual true colors' as 'real color' in order to make the distinction. I suppose true color started out as a way to distinguish them from artistically rendered/painted images.

Strange that the article does not link to the game itself. For those interested here it is - https://cafebazaar.ir/app/ir.treeco.aftabe/?l=en

She posed as a prostitute sometimes, not only risky, but also subjected her to sexual harassment by the very male colleagues whose help she sought when going undercover. Check out this 10min video if you want to know how she did it http://www.vice.com/video/i-posed-as-a-prostitute-in-a-turki...

Intuitiveness is subjective. Take cursor movement for example. I understand now h,j,k,l is a remnant from historic keyboards, but when I started learning vim, I couldn't fathom why 'h' moves a cursor to left and 'l' to the right, though I got used to it eventually. The emacs 'C-f' for forward and 'C-b' for backward were definitely more intuitive. Of course, depending on the mode, some emacs commands can be cryptic and leave you with a painful pinky, but they were definitely more intuitive to me.

I have seen it vary from a few days to a week or more. In case you just want to try the latest features, I can recommend unofficial emacs-w64 builds (http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacsbinw64/). Been using a build from here for months and found it to be fairly stable.

To keep parity with the version of Gecko engine that it uses I believe.

Scary in what sense? Could you elaborate whether you are talking in terms of security, backdoors etc. or just buggy badly organized code?

I use this on Windows. For a large hosts file (several megabytes), I find the DNS client service hangs until it reads the whole file. Further, there is also a noticeable delay in the order of a few seconds until the hostname is resolved. For smaller files, I find there is no noticeable lag. Can't offer you any numbers though.

Hostsman (http://www.abelhadigital.com/hostsman) on windows is the my choice of a frontend for hosts management. It's free but not open source.

Quite a few sources actually. Beware, some of them can be too restrictive. If the hosts file is too big, it can also impact performance.

A more scientific study on the benefits of fasting leading to improved cell regeneration was posted on HN a few days ago. Here's the corresponding journal paper http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.stem.2014.04.014 (paywalled)

Chrome based browsers have µBlock[1] and µMatrix[2] extensions to mitigate this very issue of hogging resources. Unfortunately these are not ported to Firefox yet.

I just used figure as an example. If there's no predefined keystroke or function available such as in the case of LaTeX macros that you tend to use frequently, snippets can be of use. Of course one can do without them, but they're definitely worth considering if you use emacs regularly.

Sure Auctex does provides kb-shortcuts. But rather than using predefined keystrokes, I prefer to use my own. Besides, snippets can be used for commands/environments for which AucTex provides no shortcut or for things such as macros.

Anyone seriously considering Emacs for LaTeX editing should also take a look at the yasnippet package. The customizable autocompletion shortcuts make it really easy to insert commands using just keywords. In my case this has proved to be very helpful especially when inserting figures or inline equations. I can create a snippet so that when I type fig+<tab> it inserts a \begin{figure}.. \end{figure}float and positions the cursor at the proper field saving me a lot of keystrokes.

TL;DR - Nuitka (which has been garnering some attention on HN today - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8771925) is not as fast as CPython and less faster than PyPy for the chosen scenario (enumeration of a fat graph and computing their graph homology).

A year and a half down the line after this paper was published (Apr 2013), Nuitka's main strengths seem to be the convenience in packaging the code into an executable which a number of readers have reported success in. If runtime and memory usage are more important, you are better off sticking with the interpreters for now.

Agreed. Having the package manager in built has taken away the pain of having to search the horrible 'emacswiki' for code snippets and tweaking them to get it working. It has also enabled me to try out plenty of new packages which have greatly added value to my emacs, which I would otherwise have never bothered to even try. Lots of bugs? Sure! and some aspects could do with a better user experience, but still a great improvement over prior versions of emacs.
