That looks interesting and then I found Vorpal from the readme. I am discovering great stuff faster and faster at an exponential rate. I'm finding a new cool thing almost every day at this point. I always wince when people bitch here a

If I understand this correctly you can also see the real world because the image is overlayed. This would be too distracting for me. The opposite, a pair of glasses that totally blacked out the rest of the world, would be ideal for me. Pu

Thanks everyone. You've given me more to think about. Unfortunately I'm still on the fence. Usually I'm a lot more decisive. I guess it shouldn't matter in the long run. But you know how it is, I want my new languag

Interesting. For many years I anxiously awaited online editing so I could leave the desktop metaphor, specifically windows. I loved web technology. Then Atom came along that allowed me to create my own awesome editing environment using web

Hmm. A brief version paper by a tabloid company. Will it reduce the size of the Elvis/Alien marriage story to just a one-liner?

We Atom community developers have used a lot of Octicons due to the github heritage. I hope the Atom developers provide some easy conversion utility like github used internally.

Why does one of the comments on that thread say strong mode is dead? Everyone seemed to ignore the comment.

They are going to run out of adjectives. I was in a drug store recently and the cold medicines that used to say full-strength or maximum-strength now say "extreme". They are also going to run out of adjectives.

I have always assumed these were some kind of scam but I looked up Jim McGaugh in wikipedia and his credentials are well established. It's truly hard to believe.

I have a rather pedantic observation of the difference between books and vinyl. Are not paper books digital to begin with? Characters in a book can be converted to binary with no change in information content. Vinyl records lose some info

I have read his QED book many times and I experience the same clarity when reading as you mention. Then later I lose that and am able to re-read it with the same enthusiasm I had the first time. So that property does have its advantages.

What morphs to what in this example? I see music notes going to a button when clicked and then a pop-up. I agree it's cool but when I see the word morph I expect one thing to change into another.

I have read enough of all these tutorials that I understand how git and the git commands work. I could pass a test. But still I have a hard time feeling comfortable enough to spit out commands as needed. I've created a lot of aliases

I don't want to be a skeptic, this question is serious, but has anyone produced a large project that used live-editing? I've never seen any example, they are all small code snippets. Any example would be appreciated.

Bypassing the paywall is more unethical that blocking ads. It is one thing to have control over your own browser but another to steal something from another site. Also, isn't it illegal to bypass computer security?
