There is nothing wrong with using them, except that (as the article points out) they don't work terribly well, take a lot of effort to get right, and aren't the focus of the editor. Sublime and Emacs are joys to extend versus Vim, that does

She didn't make a mistake, she made a calculated play -- she fancied herself a hero and victim at the same time, the level of self-aggrandizement on display was dizzying, she did it in public to make the mob lash out. SendGrid is in an ugly

Thanks for this link -- for my coworkers who use Sublime, this seems like it is an improvement over what they do know (create a shared directory on their computer to the VM's files).

... you should read up on the new hotness in emacs, finally making people really proficient editors -- it is called "EVIL" mode, it is taking the emacs community by storm. Just hit 1.0 as well.

He tried to turn vim into an IDE, a role that vim specifically decided not to embrace, that will make anyone go a little crazy. Vim is good at editing text, is extremely portable, and works great with a partner in crime like tmux. I have us

No. This simply isn't true, Sublime Text 2 has one of the least complete examples of a "vi-mode" I have used. ViEMU, Emac's EVIL, XVim for Xcode, all seem much better thought out and break less muscle memory than Sublime Text 2's vi-bindi

Or just look at the domain name, the calculation, the self-aggrandizement and realize a perfectly played marketing ploy to drive traffic to her site and get her some future speaking engagements. I give her props for deft manipulation of the

Plugins are hell. As a former contractor I came to loath hg because of them. "Ohhh, you know hg, great! Lets get started, so our workflow consists of ... 35 minute explanation of 28 community plugins and 4 custom corporate ones".

I researched it briefly, at that time it was not possible. There are lots of attempts to be "good enough" at tab management to make surviving without tree tabs possible. Some of them come close, most don't. At the end of the day, I change

50% is ... way off the curve. 20% is about average in the United States, but it goes down when you exclude roles that tend to be managerial to something like 14%, so your experience seems to to track with statistical norms. Just stay in t

There isn't a central clearing house at the moment. But the conventions is to use a tool called "rebar" and you simply add a dependency in your rebar.conf like {cowboy, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/extend/cowboy.git", "master"}} and then

Couple points. First of all, you being a women in this case seems completely irrelevant to both your question and the people who responded to you on SO. Was the injection of gender supposed to give us context for your response, or imply t

gitlab:check is doing a great job at keeping the insanity of the gitlab pace at bay. I started pre-2.0 and have had to go through some hard upgrade steps (just recently went from 3.1 to 4.1 and had to move sqlite to mysql).

It isn't a troll, the performance numbers are real and it is a fairly slick product. Bad marketing, bad licensing, crazy (ala Tesla) developer and owner being allowed to dump his brain onto the corporate site are the main problems. When we

It is kinda sad. The performance of his stack is second to none (in my testing he undersells it). I really do like configuration via directory structure, and it has various cool tooling in it. That said, yeah, the freeware / closed source

We did a 45 day trial. To call it disappointing would be a vast understatement. Performance problems, no root access, no direct repository access, poor tooling (had to wait for support to write us a script). We were actually locked out o

Well -- that ratio of systems to users to supportive personal is 1:2:1 in your house. That ratio is incredible, give me a company of 50 people with 25 PCs and 25 IT people and I could get them running on nearly anything. Now, start over an

Erlang has a strong philosophy on this -- let your process (a microprocess inside Erlang, not the entire VM obviously) crash rather than pollute your code with needless endless crap... dozens of try catches just do log that an error happene

Checkout Moose -- it is one of the thing the author points to about Perl. Tools like Moose do an amazing job of fixing the warts but keeping the power. Moose's support and flexibility as an OOP layer is second to very few. http://moose.i

Less features... still isn't doing dates (which is a known slowdown in Erlang)... connection process because handler process... Still neat.. what impressed me was some of the linked "helper" projects for doing stuff likes stats.

Not as much as you would expect. The natural way you build systems in Erlang is across erlang-processes (micro processes). Even if you are building an application running on a single core, you use erlang-processes extensively. This means
