I really admire how much Notch seems to understand opposing viewpoints that most people would simply make inflammatory posts about. His diplomacy here, as well as with Bethesda, has been stellar: Not "Steam is a DRM-ridden mess that I woul

Use Ctrl-o in insert mode to dip into normal mode for just 1 command. Also, use Ctrl-r in insert mode to paste the contents of an arbitrary clipboard (Ctrl-r, a to paste register "a, Ctrl-r " to paste register "" and so on).

I have a DSL-only plan with AT&T. It works fine, but every time I call for support, they ask me for "the phone number on my account", and I have to re-explain ten times that I have only DSL, and not phone or TV service. Often I am t

I'd be surprised if it was common... if you think about it, startups are basically "20% projects" that everyone in the company is spending 100% of their time on. :-)

Why do people leave anywhere? If you can believe there's no such thing as "The One" in dating, for example, you can believe people have good reasons for leaving Google. It's all subjective, after all.

Maybe the guy you're replying to edited his post, but "If it's a JavaScript framework, please give code examples in JavaScript"--to me--reads as a rather polite request, rather than a dictum as you suggested.

You know your language has failed you when you can't even agree on whether you're agreeing or disagreeing.

"We have two ears and one mouth for a reason." I think one of the big reasons this is effective is because when you're not talking , you're listening , and this lets you figure out which stuff actually matters.

I switched from screen to tmux about three months ago. It's easier to configure, does vertical splits, and is under more active development (apparently).

I don't think "disorder" and "collection of personality traits" are mutually exclusive terms.

My dad's advice was the last grain of rice. Getting diagnosed was the result of a long period of slowly accruing more information about the disorder. If you suspect you might have it, it's worth going to see a psychiatrist or psychologist

Where on Gruber's website is his relevance to the subject made clear? EDIT: No, seriously. If someone has no idea who Gruber is and they click through to his site, tell me where on the screen they would see information that answers the i

Glad to know my post resonated with someone! I still struggle almost daily with ADD-related complications, but getting on the treatment bandwagon was a huge step forward.

It's amazing how when big media releases a story about "hackers ruining America", people come out of the woodwork saying "actually, the term for someone who practices forced electronic entry is 'cracker', and 'hacker' just means someone who

I'm 26, and I was diagnosed with ADD last year, at the suggestion of my dad, who was not diagnosed until his 40's. It took me almost a year to start actively researching ADD, because I grew up in an upper-middle-class community where it wa

It's funny to think that a hapless vimmer who happens to be running Windows would have never noticed this, because they would simply have typed ":edit $SYSTEMROOT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" and gotten the real file. (This isn't a "look how

That's a great point. There are also studies that show driving tired can be just as bad as driving drunk.

Surprise! You have been using buffers all this time. A "buffer" is just "a file in memory"; if you have 1 split on your screen, with a different file in each split, then you are viewing 2 buffers. The two things which will probably give y
