Wait what? A high end Aprilia costs around 20k (this is an expensive superbike, see one from the Japanese manufactures for something half the price) http://www.apriliausa.com/en-US/Model/101340/RSV4+Factory+AP

I went crazy, and it's a bit more tricky to pull off, but `q` is my leader key. Haven't looked back. P.S. I mapped `Q` to recording Macros, since the default use of `Q` is completely useless to me.

Agreed. The DOM is incredibly slow, and his example is so asinine. What is the use case for generating 2000 unstyled divs with one line of text? Try making that into a nice slick CSS list, maybe throw an image in each list item, with some t

I prefer to be interested in things that are ACTUALLY interesting; think Google's Spanner, SpaceX, etc, developed by neckbeards who know what they are doing. Not some silly NodeJS/MongoDB API.

I've had a couple of my sites hit by Hacker News before, it's not that much traffic. But I am perhaps a bit biased, I already think Meteor is a joke of a product.

How can Meteor be taken seriously with shit like this? This site barely works... Simply hangs with spinning jewish logos...

Using the vim Fugitive you can quickly toggle a git blame sidebar to determine all this similar type of information.

Why is this petty shit on the front page? Who gives a fuck?

This may have been said before, but I am posting anyways since there's so many comments here and I don't have time to read them all. I think I have a way to explain why pixel perfection is a very good optimization that caters to more of a a

I think one of the first comments on the Wired article sums this all up pretty well: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/12/mumford-sons-lending-... TL;DR: The term lending has been on most records in the last 20 years and actually refers

I don't know if you can justify statement like that from the proposed evidence. The App Store and iTunes Store are pretty damned successful services, whether you like them or not. iCloud is not a joke, it does it's job well for the 99%. I t

This app is so painfully a web app. Here's why. First thing I did, started dragging around when I was presented with some grey/brown screen (an intermediary between the load image and the web app actually being loaded?) so I got a nice litt

Agreed. This article is utterly worthless. Why is this on the front page?

So then why the hell did you say Pathogen was better than Vundle? Vundle is Pathogen + crack. People should think about what they say.

Also note, it's the guy using a fucking generic blog template. Gotta love and hate Hacker News sometimes. Idiots. Edit: Bury me all you want, but by booting this post off the front page you've essentially agreed with me ;)

I'm gonna guess that it does a couple things, but the main one is the shape you create with each touch, since you can type without typing on the keyboard itself.

Basically what dedward said before me. EasyMotion is not for searching, it's for moving the cursor deliberately to a place onscreen where you need to make an edit.

by amadeus 14y ago
Even better, just learn to use EasyMotion, it's one of the most efficient ways of navigating around a file: https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-easymotion

If you are on Unix, add this to your vimrc and the directory indexing speed should go through the roof: https://gist.github.com/ee14d6ecb9196a07da56

Wonderful [sarcasm]. So now when I create something that requires a browser that actually has good hardware acceleration, it will be a dastardly turd of a performer in Opera.

Are we talking about the same thing here? We are talking about a TEXT EDITOR. The INTENTION is to EDIT TEXT. Vim does EXACTLY that. It doesn't add silly buttons that require you to remove your hands from the keyboard to the mouse to interac

Again, I think you are missing the point. Notice how I said it 'can be'. Out of the box, Vim is not very attractive, but with a bit of work it actually looks rather nice (yes, I did modify the application icon, but that's not really what I

Easy, no, beautiful? It can be. It can be very beautiful in its simplicity. I like to think learning Vim akin to learning a musical instrument. It's not easy, the learning curve is very steep and it forces you to think about writing code in

I know they are talking about businesses and everything here, but let me throw a wrench into that entire theory. 2010 San Francisco Giants.

It's interesting that there is no mention of BFCache anywhere in this article. This is one of those fantastic features that (although unfortunately not supported in Chrome) allows for very simple infinite scroll and use of the back button.
