I still use those text-objects, just with h instead of i. This is required because otherwise, you'll have issues when trying to move in visual and other modes.

I didn't advocate using arrow keys, but rather using ijkl. Your suggestion is not mutually exclusive with my own, you can do both. :) Though I guess the mappings I provided would have to be noremap instead of map.

If anyone is apprehensive about vim's hjkl keys, and you like the arrow keys better, you can use ijkl instead and get all the benefits of the muscle memory you have built up for arrow keys, while still keeping your hands on the home row. Us

Most people are probably happy relying on gzip for compression. It's "Good Enough" for most use cases. It seems like it made sense for you though.

Perhaps they removed the web history itself, but kept whatever inferences they made, which are associated with your Google account. Which is about as bad as keeping the history, but it's probably completely separate system, which just uses

It gives you plausible deniability, which is the point. Nobody can prove you really did those searches (though you can't prove the converse either).

Based on Wikipedia's definition of this fallacy, I don't think your examples fit. From Wikipedia: No true Scotsman is an informal logical fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.[1] When faced with a counterexample to

CoffeeScript can even be faster than hand-written JavaScript. See this comment I digged up by jashkenas: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2443138 Also, from the CoffeeScript website: The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed,

This sentence is false? You seem to be contradicting and confirming your parent at the same time.

You seem to be misunderstanding. Read your parent's last line again. "Empty space" is indistinguishable from encrypted data. On the hard disk, everything will just look like randomized bits, empty space and data alike. There is no way to wr

I'm not sure where you got that definition of "ad hominem", but in my understanding, it refers to any argument that attacks an opponent directly instead of refuting the opponents claims/arguments. Wikipedia says it's an attempt to negate t

Surely they don't send you your old password, but a freshly generated one? Then they could still be hashing them after emailing you.

JS has gotchas and some really bad parts, but if you know the language well and know what you're doing, I think it's quite pleasant actually for many problems. Have you done much programming with JS, and if so, what was so unpleasant about

Why should there be less friction to go to a web page rather than install a game? Perhaps there shouldn't be as much friction to install a game as going to a web page, but you can't deny that installing a game is currently not nearly as

In fact, if one has sufficient savings and has no worries about career, quitting the full-time job also makes a lot of time/energy for the kids. That's pretty drastic, but I'd consider it myself in the future.

The point of making the billion dollars yourself is having a say in where it gets spent, not in "giving it all away" indiscriminately. Indeed, someone else might choose to just keep their billions in the family, for the sake of obnoxious le

The thing is, upvotes are a function of what shows up on the front page. So it makes sense.

If the h-ratio of a user is greater than an admin-specified threshold, we flag the user as detrimental to the overall quality of the site and their upvotes would either be discounted or ignored entirely. Nit-picking here, but I suppose ta

I think you're right on the money when you mention submission of low-quality articles. These articles end up drowning out the good stuff on the new page, especially with all the linkbait headlines. The honeypot approach would help, but the

Well, I doubt there would be much of a speed difference when using canvas/drawImage, since I assume "calculating the frame" involves just use some arithmetic on the dimensions of each frame - which is pretty trivial in terms of CPU use at 6

I suppose spritesheets would making loading time faster since there would be fewer files. But other than that, it's just a neat way of organizing sprites, which can also be managed with a good naming convention tying together related sprite
