This 'jk' and 'kj' mapping works only to get out of the Insert mode. But it does not match the full capability of the original 'Escape'. - How do you escape from visual mode to normal mode? - How do you ensure

The inoremap jk <esc>, inoremap kj <esc> configuration gets you back to normal mode only from insert mode. What do you do if you want to return to normal mode from visual mode or command mode? What if you want to type an abbrevi

Vimium has been a very frustrating experience for me. The one thing where I always trip: - Press 't' to open a new tab. - Now I realize I want to go back to the previous tab. I press 'Escape'. Nothing happens. The focus

What do you do when you actually need to type the string "jk"? Type "j", then wait for sometime and then type "k"?

I have been using Vim for 15 years now and I see no other editor (not even Emacs) that comes anywhere close to the ergonomics of Vim. I can edit code the fastest in Vim. If you think Vim is not helping you being more productive, I suggest r

I have considered such alternatives in the past and they did not work for me. For example, how can I conveniently type the string "jk" or "kj" with such a configuration? The artificial delay I have to introduce between t

I have been using Vim for 15 years now and I completely agree with sevensor's comment. - Vim is not newbie-friendly regardless of whether you remove guioptions or not. One has to spend at least a few hours of study and practice to get

The first thing I do on a new system is map my Caps Lock key to Escape[1][2][3] so that I can use Vim conveniently without having to reach the physical Escape key placed awkwardly at the corner of the keyboard. The choice of Escape key to r

Do you or anyone similarly have any suggestions or recommendations about NetBSD or OpenBSD? With Linux, the decision to choose Debian and CentOS has been easy for me. Ubuntu is very popular and Debian is at the top of the lineage tree. Simi

In my opinion, this is unethical. If I spend a few hours developing software for a client, I would earn about between $30 to $200 depending on where I am. It is unreasonable to expect me to spend that time developing a purposeless toy softw

Why didn't Facebook just choose the Apache license that has patent clause and is a standard license?

The original job postings[1][2] were even more egregious. They originally said, "many of us routinely work 70-90 hours/week". After a lot of criticism on a Facebook post by Andrew Ng[3] (where you can still find residual evid

Wow! With such a hostile environment, I am surprised that you are able to hire any developers at all. I am also surprised that you have the luxury of firing employees. I would imagine that the unfortunate developers who joined your company

Of course, I won't apply. I guess that's common sense. But I think this trend needs to be called out and discussed. I want to have the possibility of working healthy hours like I currently do at my current workplace for many more

Note: The original title of this post was: "Andrew Ng is looking for Software Engineers who routinely work 70-90 hours/week". A moderator has understandably updated the title to "Software Engineer, Machine Learning"

Whether you can fallback to not using biometrics is irrelevant to whether biometrics is equivalent to usernames or passwords. In fact, your point that one can fallback to not using biometrics once it is compromised proves that biometrics is

If you believe your key has been compromised (say duplicated), you can change the lock and your key. If you believe your fingerprint data has been compromised, can you change your fingerprint data?
