I'd imagine that he probably IS recording random streams of thought, and then editing them when he gets the dictation back. Even when I'm talking to friends in the car, I can barely keep a thread of conversation very sensible.

Not trying to be mean here or anything, but I think this is ridiculous. Reporters have to earn the right to have "open, real and fair" sources. Many reporters (especially unpaid bloggers) are shitty at their jobs. I'm sorry random people yo

Any reason not to just use org-capture? Just curious. I switched from remember to the org-capture stuff recently, and haven't noticed any difference in my workflow.

You can "pop" as you navigate around. Also, I've had a lot of luck with pycscope.py for python code + cscope tools. GNU Global needs some love though. It'd be awesome to see it handle more stuff.

I know there is at least, cscope.el, xcscope.el, acscope.el, bcscope.el... What's the advantage to acscope vs. the others? I personally use xcscope, I don't even remember why I initially chose it...

So, the big sale here is the 30 minutes to... the shore of Santa Cruz? From there to Palo Alto is another hour (or more)? Unless they mean the Ano Nuevo Bay, which you'd have to drive even longer to get into the valley. The real cultural wi

I think it's a larger problem that defaults in standard libraries are rarely understood. For python OR for C++. I'm asking to the larger Hacker News community here, how do you illustrate the dependencies of a standard library API call witho

Either they took worker's conditions very seriously, or they didn't. I have no tolerance for sentences like this: > Apple takes working conditions very, very seriously, and we have for a very long time. When put in context of all the st

If you don't make money out of posting on HN, don't get into it, it's a time sinkhole I think you are making a decent point, but with too generic of a statement. If gaming isn't worth the money/time you spend on it, don't do it. But that sh

I blame companies instead of consumers because they market the shit out this stuff. No one is born with an innate desire for that specific Barbie or Lego set. The companies market to you, make you feel like you want it. The companies may no

The future of online communication is based around these "filter bubbles". The more aware may see that this is a bad thing, but most people see this is a great improvement. I'll add my friends on diaspora, google+, facebook, etc, and we'll

Consider for a moment the cultural environment you're trying to make this argument in. I truly believe that many many programmers have cognitive dissonance around intellectual property, perceived value of invention/innovation, and what thei

The reason facebook was "thefacebook.com" is that the harvard yearbook is called "The Facebook"... It wasn't a domain dispute. But it does bring up a good point that maybe you can just get some article to put in front of the name to get th
