ViM user here who used SpaceMacs for a while for Clojure development. I'm not sure if SpaceMacs uses evil but it's a similar concept. That being said, I tried learning regular Emacs to see what the fuss is all about and much prefe

"This was not racially motivated, this was to ensure only legitamite voters come to the polls" said Alvin Jaegar. It's really frustrating to watch this continued, unabated effort to seize and keep power at all costs by the Re

It wouldn't matter if it was the condo across the hall or the house across the street. Just because you own a piece of property doesn't give you the right to do anything you want with it. That's why we don't allow strip

I mean, that's a fairly easy question to answer. The rooted pay taxes, provide stability to a neighborhood, and are invested in the upkeep of their properties. They also tend to be better neighbors than a constant flow of random people

I'm not certain regular users will, but I do believe that this should probably be practical knowledge that could be taught in schools considering the far reaching impacts of having financial accounts or email accounts hacked. Alternati

I'm not sure it has to be so difficult. It took me about an hour to come up with a scheme for creating long, unique, and random looking passwords that are very easy to remember. Basically I have a prefix of length 7 which is two words,

Not only that but they're being pushed into college by a generation for whom college tuition was something like 400% less (I believe that's after inflation is calculated in but would have to look it up). The fact is, while college

Yea that's a crazy sentiment considering who encourages these young people to go to college (their parents, primarily) and without considering the absolutely unbelieavable increases in college tuition costs with no discernible benefit

Logged in to downvote this. What bullshit. CO2 is absolutely a problem, and promoting birth control does not get you called a nazi klansmen. What are you going on about?

I always pay extra when given the option for the low deductible plans and the one time I hurt myself snowboarding and needed physical therapy it paid off tremendously. Being on the hook for 5000 worth of care would have been a tremendous bu

Those are probably issues that are mostly irrelevant to both the parent poster and the discussion at hand. It seems doubtful this family man would move to the US and immediately become a homeless, mentally ill victim of police violence. Eve

I mean, I've seen plenty of software engineers with guaranteed incomes settle into their jobs and slack off so I'm not sure it's a great comparison really if proving your point is what you want to do.

Unemployments pretty high in the parts of Europe I was in. Whereas unemployments very low in the US. I know there's more emphasis placed on working here in America, but it seems like the employed would want to keep their jobs, no? Espe

Maybe that's so, and I support a worker's right to earn a living wage as much as the next guy, but getting back to the states after being in Europe for three months I'm seriously impressed by how much more attentative to my n

A lot of it is things like national parks, estuaries, and forests. Hunters tend to be huge proponents for conservation since they like to hunt. Most people are tremendously bad at supporting tax dollars going towards the total prevention of

Yea visual stimulation is _at least_ as distracting as audial for me as well. I'm not sure I get the fight or flight response, but I certainly am constantly aware of the people walking by constantly.

I never saw the police do a single thing and the gangs seem to focus exclusively on foreigners which seems to be most of the people partying in Lisbon while I was there.

The big negatives in Portugal is the fact stuff isn't actually legalized. Walking around Lisbon at night you're constantly accosted by thuggish groups of dealers offering cocaine, hash, marijuana, and other drugs. If you watch the

Tenacity and determination I find are big parts of being a software engineer in general, much less a founder. I mean who else gets a bug in their code and spend the next eight hours scouring documentation and fiddling with their code until

Wouldn't the destruction of the judiciary be akin to continuing the treatment of the political elites as more than citizens? As they're the ones who filed charges, lost in court, and now apparently are proceeding to disregard the

I don't have links but the Russians were definitely targeting communities in efforts to reduce turnout during the 2016 election. Reading about the scale and intricacy of their influence campaign is pretty fascinating and worth a read.
