Real question: why is this really necessary? Creating a vertical split quickly is something I do often, all day, with ctrl-w v.

Hey! Looks great so far. I noticed a bug when I was clicking through movies: http://imgur.com/SX3TM.jpg Also, it might be nice if you could click on the "next" movie without having to move your mouse cursor a little bit to get the "I've s

I was hoping I could run this realtime in vim, but it appears too slow on a 1000 line JS file.

If you do Python development, definitely check out my pyflakes-vim plugin that highlights errors on the fly: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2441 Another really useful plugin I need to "release" is a "I'm Feeling Lucky" pl

One of my favorite examples of cool Perl 6 code right now is Perl 6 in Perl 6: http://github.com/masak/yapsi/blob/master/lib/Yapsi.pm

Sometimes just knowing something is possible is enough to encourage you to find out how it's done. Probably nothing beats sitting next to a vim pro and watching them slice and dice code. I didn't have that opportunity, but a few screen cast

Is there a "Try Perl 6" on the web yet? Google is failing me and I'd love to paste one of the grammar examples into a textbox and start playing it; especially since I don't see Windows binaries linked from the article.

With customization, every pain point of yours can be addressed; but maybe that's the problem that makes people "fall back" on IDEs.

That's a poor comparison. Presumably a small army of white guys pissed off enough by taxation to kamikaze themselves into public buildings does not exist. (Although, see the insurgence of the militia movement, and Palin's "don't retreat, ju

My favorite singularity treatment. It explores some original, and very scary implications of such a world...

It's been on my todo list to take some time to grok luajit's internals for awhile. Awesome to see Google parting ways with some cash! This sort of makes me want to try to write a Python->Lua compiler.

Just because your frontend uses XY,000 KB of memory doesn't mean that worker processes have to too. The working set size for a fresh Python 2.6 run on my Windows 7 box is 6,620KB. See Chrome for a good example of this approach :)

Cool! The window manager is super tiny. And uses Clutter apparently: http://src.chromium.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=chromiumos.git;... But just naively judging by the amount of code here this doesn't feel like the bombshell the tech press i

I was with Aaron until > What other field combines all these arts? Language, math, art, design, function. Programming is clearly in a class of its own. And, when it comes to programmers, who even competes with djb? Who else has worked t

This is pretty awesome. And tempting. But I wonder how much "international fees and taxes" add up to.

Can I call alarmist bullshit? I think the inevitable consequence of fears like yours is that you'll be able to pay different institutions, so that you can store part of your data here, and part of your data there. So that you can surf behi

At least he thinks so: his resume page says "saved the company by optimizing performance up to an acceptable level." That's not a quote from somebody else!

Does this make anyone else think of that old Are You Afraid of the Dark episode with the midget playing the computer virus, and how the kid gets a serial port in his palm?

discuss() and fight() and makelove() are usually (hopefully!) commutative. I think the more interesting observation to make is: what is the type of the argument to discuss? SentientBeing? CanDiscussMixin? In the first case, I bet you could

I just made a plugin recently for on the fly Python checking with squiggly underlines, like a "real" IDE: pyflakes.vim http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2441 (Make sure you grab a Python 2.5/gvim--required ATM--build from t

I learned quite a bit from web.py ( http://github.com/webpy/webpy/tree/master ). It's small enough to be fun to poke through, but has more than enough "advanced" Python tricks to be worth your while.

I'd be curious to see a percentage-wise summary of how much of your caloric intake goes directly into fueling your brain.
