   "Yoda Conditions" takes the cake. It's pretty interesting how a commutative operation such as `==` still has certain conventions. Then again, `==` isn't guaranteed to be commutative in Ruby, since it can be overridden (which I'm not a big f

   I find this very condescending. Not all of us get to work on fun problems, but the work has to get done nonetheless.

   Dvorak users can get away with using hjkl with the dvorak layout - it's not that counter-intuitive. Your Colemak layout, however, looks beyond salvageable in terms of using Colemak hjkl. I think a re-binding is in order there.

   Dvorak was a long process for me. It took me about 3 months to get to 70 wpm (was 120 qwerty). Online gaming had a lot to do with the delay: switching keybindings for every game was annoying, and I needed to quickly communicate with teammat

   Thanks for the recommendation. AT&T contract just expired, and I'm looking into getting an Android.

    I agree. The most utility I get out of VIM is quick formatting. I'm very particular on how my code looks, (I want to make things as painless as possible for the next guy), and navigating code in normal mode is much faster than anything I co

    This is why you don't use analogies when speaking with hackers. We take them way too far ;)

    Facebook has monetized the hardship of letting friendships go. People change, shit happens, and you have to move on. Facebook, however, makes us believe we can keep these relationships going forever. I'm sure there are many successful rec

    You realize your personal attacks hurt, not help, your message, right? Your snark, sarcasm, and overall angst is not going to get people to consider your point of view. That is your goal, right? If you just want to WTFPWN some random person

    I probably won't. In formal writing with an anonymous subject, sure. For casual conversation, I don't care enough.

    Honestly, because I'm lazy. Maybe I'll use 'they'. Maybe I'll use 'he'. Maybe I'll use both. If I'm not given the gender of the author, I'm just going to write what sounds right rather than take the time to make it gender-less. It's not lik

    Because a convention which many people consider harmless is causing you harm. Using 'he' when gender isn't known is not a tech-specific phenomenon.

    Oh, I have no opinion at all on its correctness, I myself just hate using the singular 'they' when writing a comment. Thanks for the link!

    If the habit of using 'he' causes an subconscious bias, yet you refuse to correct our subconscious, what's to be done?

    I do this as well, simply because using 'they' in reference to a single person irks me.
