Let me point out that the Emacs minimap is way cooler than that of SublimeText. Check out the semantic overlays.

I know I'm being overtly political and should probably be banned from HN for repeatedly endorsing a candidate, but you have an alternative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Gary_Joh... Johnson could benefit from an inte

If you want a "real Republican", vote for Gary Johnson. He's pro-choice and fiscally conservative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Gary_Joh...

SOPA has changed my political views. I used to be a democrat, but watching politicians discuss the internet has firmly convinced me that as little government as possible is for the best. I'll be voting for Gary Johnson, the little known lib

Unfortunately, I don't think Johnson is politically savvy enough to market himself online as one of the only anti-SOPA candidates. Don't confuse that with a lack of ideals or integrity.

Gary Johnson is a presidential candidate. He opposes SOPA... Thus, there is another presidential candidate who opposes SOPA.

Are you sure about that? Gary Johnson's website implies that he is firmly against not only SOPA, but internet regulation of any sort. http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/issues/internet-and-technolog...

Eh. I use org-mode and all my TODOs are a Cmd+Tab away. So much software is instantly irrelevant with a persistant Emacs.

Israeli universities don't usually use textbooks, partly because Israelis go to university after their mandatory army service. Some students are already married with kids and can't afford to buy textbooks. Every course has an official textb

I have another message for struggling students: Go outside and get some fresh air; exercise; smile. It's only a grade. I have experienced first-hand the shock of discovering just how hard university is, but pushing yourself harder and harde

Your reaction seems very strange. Can you explain why you had never read the koran if you were muslim?

It isn't a proper book, but Eliezer Yudkowsky's Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality was incredible. Don't judge it by the fact that it is a fanfic.

I could have sworn I tried that a week ago and it didn't work. Thanks for the correction.

The language makes a difference. I've seen many try to pick up programming and stop because they deem their first language too hard. I agree, however, that foundational skills matter a lot. That's why statically typed languages might be bet

Is Ruby really better than Python for kids? I find Python to be more consistent and less surprising than Ruby, although that sometimes comes at the expense of expressiveness. For that matter, has anyone researched the (dis)advantages of tea

This isn't in the Christmas spirit, as I don't celebrate Christmas and I want to help by doing what I do best, not what makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

I want to explore some less traditional causes. I have helped at local organizations in the past, and I want to see if I can help more using my professional skills.

Thanks. I sent them an email offering to create interactive WebGL lessons. That would be a great match, as I can probably complete a whole lesson tomorrow night, and I have wanted to work more with WebGL for a while.
