I think your idea of `vi -R` or `vim -R` is a good idea. `less` uses less memory and may load faster but looking at logs for things like valgrind vim will give you syntax highlighting that I am not sure you can get with `less`.

don't type `cd ~` just type `cd`

yeah that annoying popup they had whenever you went to the google homepage from firefox.

or alternatively try the easymotion plugin[1] which you press <leader><leader>j (or whatever you map it to) and then it will highlight each potential line with a letter that you press to go to that line. j is one of the worst e

Me too. I find that if you work in a bunch of different languages it seems more portable (and one less thing to remember). It also seems easier to debug.

what would happen to some things that aren't people, like a flag?

Let me preface this with my thoughts being that this was super cool, but I felt the same way. It is amazing that this was done in the 1400s, computer graphics and everything... I also found it annoying that double click didn't zoom.

Yeah, I think it's not DDG's fault. It looks like they are using OpenStreetMaps, and OSM is not finding the address that I look up either. It's definitely an admirable project that I look forward to using eventually.

So the maps did work for you? I looked up a few places just to test it out and most of them were not found or not identified as places. I am living in New Hampshire, so perhaps they just haven't done much with NH addresses yet. I love

From my experience screen isn't on a lot of systems either. Usually the admins that I work with are willing to install both/either at request. screen has the equivalent to sessions as well `screen -ls` will show them whereas `tmux

not that important if you have: set -o vi in your bashrc.

by blueblob 12y ago
The answer is, it depends. If you copy it with the mouse, you will be copying both sides. If you copy it with your tmux keyboard copy bindings, it will copy just the one side. I don't know the default bindings because I made mine prefi

sure, but the statement was that you would be talking to 100 people, there is no way to enforce that it is 100 people. Perhaps you could partition the geographic area with centroids like a voronoi diagram, but then you will be dropping peop

by blueblob 12y ago
Same here, but nearest 100 people is not symmetric. While I may be nearest for you, there could be 1000 other people nearer to me than I am to you.

Could part of this be that "Privacy Guard" blocked the request, so Swype reissued requests?

I think that we are at the point in the game that people don't want to pay for a browser unless they can get something significantly better than what they get from a free browser. Keep in mind that in breaking into the market, you have

Probably because you are thinking of yourself and as a representative sample of the population that is interested in privacy. Hate to break it to you, but if you understand how you are tracked ata all, you are in the minority. HN is quite

Perhaps that's true for your very specific use case but the same is likely to be true for other people using your build system. autodetection is great when it works and horrid when it fails.

I believe openSSL has been humming along issue free for quite a while before a somewhat famous bug popped up for some anecdotal evidence at a refutation.

Wow, that's interesting! Thanks for that. I just saw it in a manpage, didn't realize it doesn't currently work. That's what I get for R-ingTFM :-D

Can't you make the argument that even in C/C++ they could have enforced different "Language rules" like forcing no warnings? When compiling with gcc you could use -Wunreachable-code. Then it is part of the process. EDIT:

I have always had a problem with this xkcd because most sites would disable your password after a number of bad guesses (making it not really matter that much), and additionally I don't see where 2^44 comes from. Taking the average wor

You get a stack trace but only if your code is not in a package.

I also agree. This is effectively 2 lines of R code: binom.test(500,2100) binom.test(1000,2000) With a boxplots/confidence interval plots (which are not many more lines). Whether this is useful or not depends on how much p

Yeah, not intuitive at all. Why do you have to click the reflection button if reflection is the only operation you have? There seems to be no response from the interface when you click the arrow if you have it poorly placed. It would be muc

I am using R for a fairly large project (because I am working with other people who are using R) and I really agree with this. R is easy to implement small things, but gluing them all together is awful. Additionally, the debugging features

This is a neat idea. I disagree a little bit with the ordering. I think the version control aspect should be placed a little bit earlier but I can see why you would want to be seeing results of what you are doing before making sure you keep

Why do you need to work your way through college? Get a loan, Take more credit-hours per term, and pick a field that will give you a greater pay increase and your work will be worth a lot more (per hour) when you graduate. I understand this

The school that I attended rented textbooks to students. It was included in tuition ~$300/year and everyone had to pay it. I could understand how they would prevent you getting a particular edition because they effectively purchase new
