Also, you live in a 3D world, hence any non-cognitively overloading "work surface" has to be -1 dim, so 2D, hence List or ListOfLists (spreadsheet). Anything else will require brainpower you could be using for something else inst

...web based and slow to load? Thanks, but >100ms latency is not something I can tolerate in a code editor. If I need a heavy IDE I can just run it on an overpowered machine and get to my target latency, but web based makes this unusable

The less confusing distinction would be between "slow (absorbed) calories" and "fast (absorbed) calories". That's what "glycemic index" and all that is all about. Most fibers are especially about this: the

Emacs and IDEs are also successful. No IDE in particular was long-time successful, but the general concept of "heavy program dedicated to structured editing of code" is successful. I still use Vim for config files though :P

For the purposes of Lisps there's Emacs with Paredit (or other editor with Paredit, there are versions for most of them I think), for the purpose of notes there's Emacs with Org-mode. For the purpose of Java w.r.t. refactoring and

Ok, I noted on my TODO to expand this to an actual article... I'll probably post an Ask HN to asks people for more examples from each category after I add a few. Yeah, getting to a good definition of UX vs. UI that everyone could agree

I'm not a "lisper", just didn't dismiss Lisps because of parens :) I'd be happy to be able to do my coding in Go and Python but with a lisp syntax and some of the features enabled by it... I don't like it that

You're trolling. You never "use your mind" to keep track of parentheses in any language - you use the editor's features for this, and read code structure by indentation like any sane human being does (also, it he

Your advice is actually good for a slightly unexpected reason: most people can't really understand the difference between UI and UX. Even worse are those that don't get it that "UI design" is of itself completely di

I'm not a fan of working "in reasonably short increments". I actually find it painful since I tend to think/work in "leap. then sleep" cycles. But I prefer to weed-out "frauds" fast, even at the expe
