I love doing bouldering. It has the benefit of being both a physical and mental challenge. It's no coincidence that climbing routes are called "problems" and making it to the top is referred to as "solving the problem&qu

The article mentions that you can set custom mappings to escape and uses this as an example: imap jj <Esc> If you're interested in doing that, I'd strongly recommend you never do a plain `imap` and instead always do

How are you able to do fine-grained actions like volume control and pause through Alexa? The IFTTT channel for Harmony seems to only have start/stop activity options. Do you have a skill hitting a server running in the background that

Sure, a linter can handle that situation. But linters can handle the semicolon-free style just as well[1]. There is no real value-add from semicolons; they're just a matter of stylistic preference. [1]: https://github.com&#x

No, this has nothing to do with how "JS sorts numbers". JavaScript sorts arrays by using a default comparator that runs .toString and compares unicode code point values (with safe handling around null/undefined). There is n

I'm firmly on the no-semicolon camp, but I agree with the general sentiment of your comment. >Half of this article is a strawman argument under the heading: "You can’t minify JavaScript code without semicolons" I've n

It still surprises me that this discussion pops up so often. Even more surprising is that people assume as a matter of fact that forgetting to put a semi-colon is the problem. > When your code’s intention is ambiguous, your JavaScript en

Final does not mean immutable, but non-overridable through inheritance. The val keyword is what makes things immutable.

Thanks for sharing that! I'd never known that was the case. I do prefer vi bindings over emacs, but I can make do with these. This'll be just a little life-changing.

It's impacting both of them, but mostly my left. I only ever hit the Shift key with that one, and usually use my right middle finger to hit backspace.

This is really amazing and inspiring to see. Every now and then, I get scared when thinking about what would happen if my eyes or my hands started to lose functionality. I sometimes feel pain in my pinky fingers when typing, forcing me to a

Those last two points really resonate with me and several other people I've spoken to about the topic. I live next door to a hotel in downtown, so getting a taxi is even quicker and more convenient for me than calling Uber or Lyft. How

You can literally replace "seek privacy and security" with almost anything in that statement. I mean, out of all the people that prefer Coke over Pepsi, there are definitely some bad guys. While your statement is true, it doesn&#x

As a Seattle resident, I'm pretty excited to see this. There's a lot of interesting data here, but it seems that very little of it is available through an API[1]. Still, I imagine this will improve with time. There are a lot of ci

It's kind of nice that this just gives suggestions by default rather than running potentially breaking commands. But as someone else here mentioned, you really want to understand the reflog in git. Everyone screws up at some point or a

This is great! Now that the verbose syntax is out of the way, I can see myself using this as a gateway to web development for those that have never done any programming outside of java for school assignments.

All excellent points! However, the default palette here is not based on the web safe colors, but on the colors from xterm-256color. More importantly, the palette is entirely customizable on a per instance basis of this picker. You can use t
