One thing I really appreciate about good authors is their ability to clearly articulate ideas or impressions that I share, but am unable to express on my own. Or in other words, I love seeing these semi-conscious ideas floating through my m

And, as patio11 suggests, in deploying code. From his Mixergy interview (4/30/10) [1]: `` I have a physical checklist for when I’m doing a deployment. It’s, off the top of my head maybe six commands long; one, two, three, four, five, six. I

Here's a commented version of my .vimrc, which is modeled after Steve's, albeit nowhere near as comprehensive. (Looks like I lost it's fixed width in the paste? Sorry!) http://pastebin.com/jJQFxQpR For me it's a lot quicker to reference c

Alternatively, I'd encourage you do to "stupid shit." Lots of it. Isn't that what learning is all about?

Rather than get into the ethics of it, I was simply hoping that people would pause, even if just for a second, to make sure they were comfortable being involved. I'm not trying to sway people either way. I agree with you - you can't put Pan

Regardless of your favored method of distribution, make sure you consider the consequences of sharing classified documents. Those consequences are probably negligible for the overwhelming majority here, but for anybody anticipating getting

I was really hoping for a widget to be included with this. Are there any third party readers that include that functionality?

Edit: Just noticed that the Wolfram links break because of their syntax. HN then worsens the problem, by shortening the displayed links with '...', meaning copy/paste breaks! So I'm just removing the http prefix and you'll have to copy/past

I really like Steve Yegge's take on this topic: http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/you-should-write-bl... " So your fear is justified: practically nobody will read your blog. Unless it's good. Even then, it'll be a very long time be

Worked fine for me in Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10. It took two tries, however. The first time, it imported 0 contacts. I tried it again less than five minutes later, using the same account, process, and browser. Worked fine.

I don't think I'm entitled to share the company, but based on a certain comment in this thread, it looks like he's landed in real estate. The positions currently listed on the Jobs page for that company are: * RoR developers * Customer Acqu

As ridiculous as this sounds - this is the only reason that I keep an XP installation on one of my machines at home. I've tried Banshee, Rhythmbox, and AmaroK, but they all just felt clunky coming from F2K. Based on other comments here, it

I'm definitely not suggesting that Facetime is, or will be, a failure. Thinking about it, however, reminded me of a passage from Infinite Jest about the failure of video chat. (1) It turned out there there was something terribly stressful

Thanks a lot Steve, this will definitely come in handy. Quick question - It looks like this requires python support for vim. What would happen if I didn't have python compiled in, and then tried to use this plugin? (You can check for yourse

I found that article. It was less informative than I thought. I've uploaded a scan of the relevant section here: http://imgur.com/ac2VS.png The text, in case that link dies: "No one wants to be a slouch, but it turns out that might just

I read an article supporting this as well. The basic idea was that sitting in a slouched position was closer to standing up. The article was called "Get Off Your Ass" and ran in Bicycle magazine probably about two years ago. I'll see if I c

This is actually a really good guide. I use vim daily at work, and my .vimrc shares most of these settings. One big productivity boost for me was remapping the Escape key to something a little more convenient. I just remapped the ESC key al

Honest question: Are you basing that off personal experience, or is there evidence that this happens on a large scale? To provide another data point, my Dell Latitude D520 still has all keys intact, and I've been using it roughly (in every

Some people, such as the author, choose to write every day. Others, like PG for example, post much less frequently (thus keeping the SNR much higher). For most people, I think the sweet spot lies somewhere in between. Whenever I strive to d
