I agree, but god damn, I am jealous. I have two small children and I've finished one book this year. (Coders at Work by Peter Siebel, I highly recommend it.) My wife reads 10x faster than I do but completely eschews the kind of readi

I love emacs, but I can definitely see how rms got RSI. Like Jeff, I was not content with any of the available keyboards. I have two Kinesis Freestyles (the old one and the new one), and they are both great. But the halves only separate b

Agreed. The whole point of a client-side update mechanism is to do something better than a loading bar. And that thing should be (1) immediate and (2) particular to what the user did.
