   Hmm. Yeah, that could be problematic.

   I have done so, but not in a long time. Then again, I haven't even used tree in a long time. Maybe I don't really use it any longer. Hmm. . . .

   I never bothered to learn that stuff before I started using Vimperator. I tend to prefer buffers over tabs for dealing with multiple files in a single Vim instance, so I never had much use for tab-related keybindings until I started using

   My preference is to use things like cd and ls to browse the filesystem. When I'm feeling really fancy, I might use tree.

   . . . and I thought vi(m) was awesome before! I will never look at the king of all editors quite the same way. You have my thanks, mkramlich. May your life be long and prosperous. (I totally didn't mean that to sound like a Vulcan blessin

   Okay, so I came back finally and checked again to see if I could get in. My thought, now, is that a functional approach to making square a "subclass" (by stretching the term "subclass" out of the confines of its traditional Java-style OOP u

   I feel similarly, actually. It's okay if others' scores don't show up for me, but I don't think scores will serve as effective (dis)incentives for behavior if they're too abstracted from the immediate cause, as is the case with having to t

    What is that heretical "g" doing in front of "vimrc"?

    This also works with Vimperator. I'm now thinking about installing that Firefox extension that gives all the tabs numbers, for ease of reference. Alas, I don't remember what it was called -- but I'm sure I'll find it again.

    . . . but Vimperator also Vimperates the entire browser, instead of just the text areas. Unless you're an Emacs zealot, I don't see the downside.

    I had no idea this feature existed. I was still using the View Source With extension to open Vim in a terminal emulator window when editing text in a text area, even though I have Vimperator. Now I can do away with the extra extension. Th

    Alas, I think you may be right. I haven't been using it very long. Once I actually buckled down and started learning how to use it, I was surprised by how quickly and easily a natural feeling of "this is how it should be" developed while u

    I find that Vim's learning "curve" is almost vertical at first, but Emacs' gets worse as it goes while Vim's gets better. There's an image here that illustrates the phenomenon pretty well: http://sob.apotheon.org/?p=981 It's sort of a "h

    I've found it easy to avoid misusing Ctrl-w because of the fact I use it so much to close tabs in Firefox. You just need to have two different uses for something, both of which you use very regularly, to get used to not accidentally misu

    Testing is one reason I think Everyday Scripting with Ruby is such a great book: while it's for someone with a casual acquaintance with programming, it still manages to teach TDD with Ruby in a clear, helpful manner that actually helps th

    The "best way" depends on your current skills, really. Ordered by increasing levels of programming skill, I'd say you should start with one of the following: 1. Learn to Program by Chris Pine 2. Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Ma

    I don't think that changes the fact that good programmers can make a bigger difference than good languages, assuming you can effectively sort for them separately like that in the real world. Then again, using good languages tends to attract

    A lot of organizations are completely hopless when it comes to identifying a "good language" (for the problem domain), too.
