I've used Emacs for the last 10+ years first with my own custom keybindings and recently with keybindings with 'default' CUA bindings like you find them in almost any other modern application. Before I switched to Emacs I used vi/Vim for al

Dumb autocompletion easily covers 50% of my cases and with Emacs hippie-expand (or one of its modern siblings) up to 75%: http://emacswiki.org/emacs/HippieExpand That said, Emacs and Vim also have intelligent autocompletion depending on t

You can use an Emacs config that'll set CUA bindings that people are more familiar with. (C-o to open files, C-s for saving, C-n for a new window, etc.) I've got a config you can start from. Who the hell uses default Emacs key bindings any

Perhaps, depending on B2's self-confidence. There's still that category of people that ask questions for other reasons than being interested in the answers to those questions.

Your questions 1 to 4 look pretty normal and I would ask those as well. The parent poster is mostly talking about people asking questions just to make themselves look better.

I find 20% to be fairly substantial actually. If a certain market would be 20% of your income, would you ignore it? (Given that it is not that hard to develop cross-platform especially since OS X is usually targeted as well.)

I've always prefered to retrain myself instead of using abbreviations because I was afraid I would need increasingly more of them because of the abbr crutch. However I have never heard of this happening to anyone. Does anyone have any exper

Meanwhile I've been enjoying a jailbroken iPhone for over three years now. How many important iOS updates have there been anyway? All I can recall were the SMS exploit and the PDF exploit for which there was a fix available on Cydia sooner

Valve AND Blizzard would be pretty big though since they make 'PC games' (for lack of a better term). Other big players like EA release their games on console as well. Most Blizzard games already work pretty well with Wine so perhaps a dist

Smart sites detect Adblock and ask you to consider disabling it for their site. That approach seems to make the best business sense to me (as in: I do consider and disable Adblock for those sites, unless their ads are annoying in which cas

Check out i3. It can do what you want (if I get what you're writing). I never liked tiling window managers using the master-slave paradigm (like xmonad does) precisely because of the problems you both described. http://i3wm.org/screenshot

Came here to post this. For some reason a blog post about design or UX posted to HN (by a design / UX guy no less!) has at least one failing in the user interface department that can be spotted by a $0.02 programmer.

Agreed. I don't even know what this "Linux Desktop" is what most people are talking about here[1]. If I walk around at work or look amongst my friends which use Linux there's no single desktop that is the same. THAT is the Linux desktop

Haha, same here. I tried so many things including trying to exploit .format (not much Python experience here either) and finally decided that it must be the SQL injection. Didn't solve it though, but got close according to the write-ups.

First time I took part in one of these challenges and I enjoyed it a lot. I made it only up to level 3 and seeing comments of others at higher levels saying it was easy, wasn't very good for my self-confidence :-) However, I can only assu

It isn't very different from an email client. I was comparing against web based discussion forums.

The Usenet clients might not be the peak of usability but they're far, far ahead of all the different kind of forums software we also have to put up with these days.

You have interesting things to say, I'd like to hear more about the Google+ story for example, but your delivery (because you're so angry) makes it nigh unreadable.
