Another approach to editing your code while working in the REPL is to simply send code from your editor to the browser. I recently wrote a blog post about setting vim up for this: http://alanmacdougall.com/blog/2012/03/27/using-vim-slime-w

Good catch, yes I did! I was typing that on my phone, and had the wrong thing in my paste buffer. Both articles are worth reading though.

The original article is here: http://www.impressivewebs.com/css-the-bad-parts/ I don't know if this was blogspam or what.

Those three words are composed of Greco-Roman bases. Is English unique in having so many words like that? (And does anyone know the linguistic term for words made by "mixing and matching" existing roots and affixes?)

Kind of my point, sadly.

HTML and CSS often feel like they are poor fits for the purposes we put them to. HTML works well enough for its purpose, but its SGML heritage makes it awkward to read and write; it is implemented inconsistently and sometimes clumsily, with

Xubuntu is my main OS for personal work, but I have the same experience. When I boot into Windows and connect to my TV with an HDMI->DisplayPort adapter, the TV is recognized as a monitor instantly. In Linux, nothing. Maybe I could figu

On the other hand, in the armed forces, rank commands respect (or at least all outward forms). In the civilian world, those with rank may be more insecure.

I'm actually doing that with the Instagram API to send her pictures of puppies. This may be more common than you think!

Second comment puts it perfectly: "Could you please explain how your "humor" was designed to call attention to the male-dominated world and was intended to be inclusive? How is inclusive to say that one of the perks were "women" and that on

With that in mind, I recently wrote a series of posts about integrating functional programming concepts into everyday Javascript programming (and AS3, which is nearly identical). The last two, in particular, might be interesting even for pr

Same as the difficulty of writing a multi-platform anything. All development takes time and effort, which equates to money. Netflix is simply measuring expenditure against likely reward.

A whole lot of recruiting material on the site (and this challenge)... and nowhere could I find Quixey's physical location . Perhaps this means they're enlightened enough to be hiring remote workers?

The new express busses are faster, but not by enough. Getting crosstown is still a hassle. I walk from 2nd Ave to 7th Ave every day for work, and find that it's generally nearly as fast to make it a brisk walk -- healthier and cheaper, too.

Flash updates itself seamlessly, even in IE6; even, to my knowledge, in corporate-firewall situations, as long as Adobe's servers aren't completely blacklisted.

There is also a wealth of plugins for buffer switching; I like FuzzyFinder's :FufBuffer command. Invoke it and the most recent buffer will be at the top, so you can hit enter immediately.

Google recently corrected "ruby dreampie" (I wanted a Ruby equivalent of the excellent Python REPL) to "ruby creampie", with extremely NSFW results. It should avoid correcting a search term if the corrected version is potentially offensive.

It's a handheld computer. You can certainly argue against having the right to customize it, but there is no technical reason you shouldn't be able to. It's not a toaster.

In what philosophical framework does modesty or even decency come before preservation of one's own life? This isn't Breaking Bad -- making a website and asking for help is pretty well unimpeachable IMO.

I started with FuzzyFinder, and although I've been using PeepOpen lately, I think I'll be going back to FuzzyFinder. It makes it easy to traverse the entire filesystem (which PeepOpen does not), and it makes directory structure apparent for

Do you meant that they can't use Array.shuffle() or Array.sort(<some built-in random function>)? Or that they don't get any external source of randomness, even a 0.0 - 1.0 float?

Saves a few steps jumping from hit to hit, and if you set up next-result and previous-result mappings, it's even faster. This is assuming your workflow is "find, then open one or more of the results in vim."

I used to, because I loved the keyboard-only navigation (and Vimperator required me to hit number keys accurately, which is kind of awkward). Vimium on Chrome has left me only a few reasons to use Opera (mouse gestures, bookmark syncing), a

"we test the boundaries, and sometimes we make mistakes just to find out where those boundaries are." But somehow I do not think you are acknowledging a mistake in this case.
