Partially because it isn't really relevant to the discussion at all. You're just ham-fisting an agenda into a separate conversation.

I don't have the new MBP, but how often do you really use the escape key? I'm use solely vim for my development work and I almost never encounter a need to use the escape key.

Just tried this! Really cool! Is there any way that you could allow for the minify and format commands to be accessible from the in-GUI command-line?

In a perfect society, yes. But we are not a perfect society and the judges on the court have quite clear biases in many cases.

Wouldn't those lobbying regulations (blocking federal employees from lobbying) violate the first amendment? Wouldn't that deny an entire political class of people from being able to participate in the political process?

Anyone else find it a bit ironic (?) that they say "an open platform is essential" but haven't open sourced their core code base? That feels like a bit of a misstep to me.

For me at least (Chrome), it seems like it isn't applying any surrounding spacing for the backtick. If you hit ` a few times and then hit some other character, they seem to occupy the same space in the text box.

> dumb people will care about "selfies" and "email" You know smart people can prefer a simple, less-modifiable system as well, right? Just because they don't share the HN communities view for an open product does

I disagree. The field has exploded. It's becoming more and more difficult to take vertical slices of every sub-field. What should we consider fundamental? Programming languages, automata theory, set theory, compilers, assembly language

I didn't find it particularly confusing. I feel as though most people would take "midrange computer" to be what the author intended. Might just be projecting my own ignorance of the IBM systems however.

Source? What kind of failure are you talking about? Minor hiccups or full failures which stop the car entirely?

That's where I'm sitting. Sometimes I want to jump between gaming and working on personal development projects. Even with an SSD, rebooting anytime I want to do that is just a pain.

I highly doubt that "Winux" will really result in a large increase of people learning CLI tools. People that want to use those tools already have way that they're doing so. Consider that most people have difficulty using a ba

Yishan just posted this a followup that I think is quite interesting[1]. Excerpt: "If you get an NSL, you're gagged. You can't talk about it. I can say that during my time we did not receive any National Security Letters. &#x

"DRY is the most obvious one, but one that may be less obvious is for better testing." Isn't that why we just write functions? Turning simple functions into entire modules just adds an unnecessary level of abstraction that he

You're just trading in the complexity of the code you'd have to write for the delayed complexity of dealing with dependency issues down the line. It's a waste of a trade off for tiny things like this.

Can I use my old vim configuration in NeoVim or do I need to rewrite my vimrc? Do my old vim plugins work in NeoVim or do I need to find new versions?

Am I the only person who doesn't like NPM? I've found it to be somewhat cryptic on errors that I've received and much less intuitive than Brew or apt-get.

I'm reading this book for a class right now and, personally, haven't enjoyed it so far. It treats these people as though the MIT hacker crowd as though these people are/were gods and I think does a lot to dehumanize them. It

Why go through the trouble of emulating the shell environment instead of just writing this in a shell environment? An actual shell environment for this would actually be somewhat useful, whereas a terminal emulator in the web doing this isn

Having paredit makes me miss LISP when I'm not writing it. It just makes moving around and restructuring code so much easier than it is an a C-based language.

I'd love to see how code using your version compares to code using the OP's version. Got any similar examples?

That's not necessarily true. What about for projects which are used across a wide array of platforms such as Spring or Gson? Those frameworks are meant to be deployed independently of platform.
