yep, no argument there, I was just weighing in with my (admittedly strong) opinionon the matter.

I didn't mean to imply that you did, my point is that someone being being "an emotivist" isn't understandable, and it doesnt' mean the people around them should be inclusive of such an outlook on life.

Having an opinion or idea doesn't make it correct or worthy of attention by other people. If I come across someone who really thinks that way, they get dismissed and I lose 100% of any shred of respect I may have had for that person. I

To this day I still get frustrated on Windows because they broke Alt+Tab. Used to Alt+tab would simply cycle through in order of most recently used. Now they've got some functionality where shit can inject itself into that list so alt

a lot of purists explicitly hate that idea, and I can understand why. I'm not for or against it, myself.

I would disagree with HN having "quality discussion". I've honestly never seen dang come down on someone where I agreed with it. I've seen him moderate people because they're posting too much "anti-this or ant

no, it be "very different" means you can't do things like generate a hash of all dictionary entries and identify when someone has a password that's only a slight change from a known dictionary entry. It's absolutely

This is a false dichotomy, there are more options available than "complete, 100% unbiased" and "completely 100% biased". You can present things in a relatively objective way, even if you have a bit of a bias. You can do

My post wasn't defensive, it was pointing out that treating things like "magic boxes" is a purely rational decision, not an inherent character flaw in people. But then you find a way to try and turn even that into a flaw of s

It's a matter of time and importance. Sure, I'd love to live forever so I could take the time to fully understand everything, but unfortunately I have to optimize my time, and learning the ins and outs of an engine just isn't

I would think the ones who constantly go back and worry about old code are the ones you would accuse of having no time constraints. The thing is, if you're going back to the first time you've ever "programmed time", then

thank you, I say the same thing every time I see this come up. That's a young mans game, after you've been doing this stuff long enough the things you learn are in terms of systems design, maintenance, etc. I regularly go back to

like I said, I don't actually expect you to admit to such a horrible way of choosing who to vote for. My post wasn't for you.

I seriously dislike it when people use this sort of false dichotomy. Look, you can be biased and have an opinion and still treat dissenting opinions, and the people who hold them, with fairness and understanding. It doesn't happen, but

fair enough, I've never been able to stay with emacs long enough to collect the plugins. The 1-2 second startup was slow enough that I couldn't even stay with the Emacs evil mode.

by braveo 10y ago
Actually, I use notepad for most things on windows specifically for the startup time... only I replace it with akelpad since it's a little more sensible, but the point remains.

That's been my experience as well, although that's still too slow for my tastes as a vim user. But I definitely don't ever recall it being 8 seconds, that feels like either an exaggeration or someone working on a potato.

I'm always confused when people say this, I've tried a lot of vim modes and to a T I've never found any that were satisfactory. I really believe that if you find these vim plugins useful you don't really use vim all that

right, which means by definition any compression is going to lose quality, even if done directly off the original, lossless versions. that's the point, it's the quality of the input that matters, not the fact that it's been c

I can't necessarily disagree with you, as I get older I start disliking software more and more specifically because most of it is half-done bullshit. And I'm a software developer. The decision making I see come out of some compani

I think the difference between devops and a programmer is that they're 2 different titles that describe two different responsibilities in the long term maintenance of software inside a company.
