Yeah, it seems like it promotes learning by rote vs learning how it actually works. Grok vim! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most...

I don't really get what you are saying. The book I mentioned has some interesting arguments and anecdotes. One is also in Predictably Irrational: in short parents were always late picking up the kids from day care. The day care deci

If you were in the market for new hardware and wanted the purchase to support initiatives such as this--what would you buy? I don't really game any more but like to support the ecosystem.

Seems to work great after a full rm -rf e2e-dev and start over. There was an issue with the html copy step because of the -t option, fixed that and submitted an issue.

As someone that lost their mom to a (legal) opiate OD, I contest that cocaine is the most evil drug. Most all of ODs in general are opiates and the negative life effects and addiction is much higher with heroin and opiates than cocaine.

Cool setup, though I personally hate using Ctrl-A for the prefix. I am too engrained to that being beginning of line. I use Ctrl-O since that doesn't seem to interfere with anything major. I started using tmux about 2 years ago and d

I seem to find things faster than my coworkers. The ability to quickly filter out non relevant files and do nested searches of the searches is the strong point. Unix as an IDE and all.

As someone who vacations frequently in Norway and Switzerland I quite love that. I always found it super ironic that to have the freedom to roam I have to leave the USA :)

I'm making a practical argument about the effects of "fat is bad" mentality. It is much harder to avoid sugar and nutritionally void processed food at this point in time. Ultimately people want to be healthy, and using the h

As opposed to selling "Healthy" fat free cookies, breads and meats laced with extra sugar? I think the point of all this new research is that you can't take out fat and expect your diet to be healthy--the real story is much m

A wingsuit has a forward speed of around 100mph and your arms are bound. It definitely didn't come from a friend. It looks like it has significant forward speed like the jumpers. Throw from the aircraft stops at around the 10 second
