I agree and think don't understand why you'd want your dotfiles to depend on Make, Ruby/rake, etc. let alone something like Stow. Git and a shell are enough; you can eliminate the Git dependency by packaging from a post-recei

OK, but nothing in your comment implied that you were talking about the "Shellshock" vulnerability. I believe that a very recent OSX update patched this vulnerability, anyhow.

That should be #!/usr/bin/env bash, particularly for BSD which does not install bash in /bin. Nothing new about absolute executable paths being non-portable, #!/bin/bash is as bad as #!/usr/bin/p

No, you change your user shell to the shell you want. You can do this in the "Accounts" preference pane by control-clicking a user, selecting "Advanced Options" from the context menu, and changing the "Login shell&q

I would never suggest a programmer learn Clojure as their first language, because of the enormous Java stacktraces. Then there's the setup involved (Java, usually Leiningen) to get to "Hello, World" compared to Python or Ruby

And then you hit control-C and resume editing. None of this is as dramatic as you describe, and syntax-highlight freezes aren't as common now with the improved highlighting algorithm in 7.4.

Sorry, I can't even feign concern about the state of Vim's source code. I'm a Vim user and plugin developer, not a Vim developer. A single-threaded UI means I can easily tell what Vim is doing at any time. It means the editor

It's because of comments like this that I've reserved my opinion about Vim script managers, of all things, for many years. There's no "right" or "wrong," I favor a tightly integrated editor setup where I o

Which script manager did you settle on?

> This is emacs mentality. I think that plugin managers (further complexity in editor configuration) are Emacs mentality. See, ELPA. The approach I'm describing is how people maintained their vimfiles before plugin managers

Vim scripts are barely even packages! Package managers for operating systems and build dependencies? Certainly. Does everything need package management? Only a small subset of all vim scripts have any dependencies. Tim Pope was the first pe

What is the use case for a Vim script manager? I've never understood what this offers over including a full .vim in your version-controlled dotfiles. With a script manager, you have to worry about repositories disappearing, Github bein

In cities I can imagine an apparatus not unlike a retractable roof in function, spanning the gaps between buildings. It would capture rainfall and prevent flooding while keeping citygoers dry. The "rooves" themselves would channel

The more tightly you control copies of your password DB file, the less vulnerable you are if somebody "purposefully injected a vulnerability" in the software as parent suggests, that's the only reason I brought it up.

Why do you assume every KeePass user is storing their passwords on a server somewhere? I would never send my password file over a network, and I don't consider USB storage "sharing."

That's putting the cart before the horse. Google's already shown with the Dart project that they're willing to invest in building tools for their own technology. Android Studio hasn't been the official Android IDE for ve

In elementary school, it was always the slow learners who the teachers classified or who self-selected as "kinesthetic learners" when this topic came up: Hands-on teaching was far more patient than lecturing. Lazy students like me

Bash Completion[1] scripts are what provide this feature; perhaps fewer Linux distributions are including them. I recommend keeping them in your dotfiles[2] and loading them in your .bashrc[3]. This is nice because Bash Completion operates

Parent was worried about availability of OCaml developers, and would "pick RoR any day just to eliminate the risk of getting to market late ." Never mind that RoR is a web framework, this kind of thinking, that some technology is

You speak of "the business case" as if there is only one kind of software business in the world, one that focuses on getting to market quickly with inexpensive developers. Reasons like "OCaml is hard" are short-sighted u

I'm not going to lie, this sounds like hell. Places like that make outcasts of anybody who makes the rest "look bad" by "working too hard." It's nice to be valued for your technical skills when you consider the
