As others have said, Evil's emulation is really good. I've ran into the same problems you have mentioned in other Vim emulation layers so I had the same suspicious with Evil. Evil didn't disappoint. Very good so far.

Haha, no. I was just curious about the feasibility these days of FreeBSD on a laptop.

Are you using FreeBSD on a laptop?

This article, with some data about accident rates in various for/against traffic situations, disagrees with your intuition about riding against traffic: http://www.bicyclinglife.com/Library/riskfactors.htm

Let's just say that Tony Morris doesn't mince words on the Scala MLs.....

It's not bogged down by the same performance. There may be times where idiomatic Scala code generates more garbage than similar Java code and thus has more of an impact on Dalvik performance but these are straight forward to work around and

For the application code to complain about password length then the 4gb upload has to have already occurred. Protecting against a DoS attack this way is done in the webserver, which doesn't care about individual fields. Sure this means ther

In an OO-world function extraction usually results in private methods to a class. You (generally) don't test those directly so it doesn't necessarily result in more specific unit tests.

It'd be great if you would write a blog post with more details about the TDD vs non-TDD projects. Things like: Duration of observation team size (over time) survey of team members anyone go from one team to another? Someone with perspective

The gp said "I'm not touching it." and you seem to have read "I can't be productive in it."

That doesn't make it false.

An Objective-C coder would get an answer thanks to Objective-C's terrible nil semantics.

Sadly enough, I'm considering it. No good reason why though.

Yes. This part in the details section: "Simultaneous Device Usage: Up to 4 simultaneous devices, per publisher limits" means that it has DRM.

Are you seriously claiming that Linux is "not seen at all" in the "deep web" (in-house corporate development) ? Hyperbole aside, obviously. Or am I misunderstanding you? BTW, if your experience is mostly in the UK then that might explain th

I've never thought of the two mentioned monads (Promise and Option) as defensive. Option doesn't seem defensive because sometimes you need to represent the possibility that there is no value to be returned. Could you elaborate on how it's

Yeah, I figured that is what was being referred to...it didn't strike me as abnormal though, but I guess it is. In practice this hasn't caused me any problems while developing on Android. Anyone else negatively impacted by this?

What's abnormal about the way Android uses the Unix user and permissions model?

Nothing against Clojure, but I'm curious what you read that made you think Clojure has better Java interop than Scala? Using Java code from Scala is literally the same as using Scala code from Scala. Same thing if you replace Java with Scal

There's no Scala runtime. I think you're either mistaken or using the wrong term. Do you mean the standard library? If so then what's the problem with adding that to your classpath? I get that some of the Scala constructs (e.g. traits) may

I don't know. We've seen the idea of rational agents in economics go away, right? Also...I'm not an economist so I don't really know what's going on in this area...but maybe EMH is still being taught because it's the best model we have at t

right....because the field of math has never changed course (see: Godel), nor physics (see: Newton, Einstein, )... You're reading too much into the disproportionate effect mistakes in economics have had on society. Science get things wrong

When would someone use this? If my content isn't available over HTTPS already then it's likely due to not wanting to support the load...in which case I'm not going to assume yours will handle it. Or do you see this as more of an end user f

Yes, that's exactly what he's saying. Though, in his cartoon he makes it clear that this is only OK as a one-time event to correct what Amazon is doing (i.e. selling below cost in an attempt to put competitors out of the market and thus pr

Can you suggest any books?

He's suggesting adding them to the article which would have made it less off putting for the other side of the author's political fence....which wouldn't be a bad group to target if you want to actually change anyone's mind.

I don't understand, why not just be fully transparent? This is the work left, we think it's this size*, this is how much work we've been getting done. It looks like we might be done at this date but that's dependent on a) our estimation be

Are you agreeing with the premise of the article? (It's not clear if you are or if you're just disagreeing with the GP). If you are then... "We'll keep you posted." "up-to-date view of the runway ahead." Where do these things come from if
