   Just curious what the advantages are of this versus C-z'ing back to the shell? EDIT: Oh, I guess that doesn't work in gvim?

   It's technically correct, but it sounds weird and non-native to me. It requires me to jump through mental hoops to explain how it makes sense. For easy communication, I'd recommend sticking with "wanting" in this situation. (though I'm not

   At my workplace it'd probably have been given for free, and I'm pretty sure none of my co-workers would resent the recipient. Come on, it's an 8 year-old TV. Everyone who wants a TV has a better one already. Are we really so petty?

   Christchurch, New Zealand here. If you're a good programmer, there'll be competition for you here.

   It's the difference between being a hacker shop or a corporate drone shop. Both are somewhat viable strategies, but don't expect people to stay around for the transition. (also, it tends to be irreversible)

   I agree with "Induction-powered" and "LED-lit" but I think the comma is going too far. Then again I'm a comma minimalist ('though I do like the oxford comma for some reason).

   Seriously, though. If there's a vim-tricks mailing list, do tell me. I'd subscribe :) (and then probably go all grumpy when people don't use vim the "right" way)

   Well, be that as it may, you're probably not very impartial in this matter.

    I love the site design. (aside from some issues with the rendering of bold text)

    I don't know if your problem is with the content or the tone. If it's the content, they've pretty much just restated "BY-NC-SA". If it's the tone... these are the people who made Cards Against Humanity. Honestly, what did you expect? PS: If

    Personally I find the worst part of CAH is having to explain to that one innocent member of the group what the card that was just played means.

    Aside from this, it's also the interactive aspect of it that plays a part in its appeal, I think.

    Thanks for clarifying that. I was under the same (amusing) misapprehension.

    Whenever I hear "centralized configurations" I think of the Registry and shudder. But the issue there isn't the centralization, so it's probably unfair.

    As someone who's gone the other way (from an IDE to a shall we say "separated" development environment), I can tell you you're wrong. For me, at least. I've seen people impressively efficient in commercial IDEs, but the best coders I know a

    I thought we got over editor flamewars ten years ago? Seriously, though. Try different editors, figure out what works for you.

    Interestingly, I prefer vim to Emacs because of vim's tight shell integration. I feel like Emacs always try to reinvent the wheel, whereas vim plays much more nicely with the os shell. Just pipe arbitrary text through commands, outsource se

    I think science can, with enough effort, predict most things. Whether it explains anything is an open topic of debate in my friend group. Also, just FYI, that's a fairly famous quote that gets tossed around a lot. Although usually with "tea

    I'd disagree that "reflect on death" is a meaningless platitude. It's a definite, actionable step. Whether it helps you or not is a different story, and really only you can find that out. In short, it's concrete advice, though whether good

    I think the distinction is between "something" that you've chosen to do with your life and that you find fulfilling, and the "somethings" you just kind of end up falling back to, as a default without making a conscious decision. So yeah, I

    I don't really see why that would be significantly harder with flat files.

    Well, flat is fairly objective. So it has that advantage. I've seen lots of ugly designs that were not flat. I also don't find flat designs ugly, whereas you do, if I'm understanding you correctly.

    Personally, I say thank god y'all grew out of your "bling" phase. Shadows are pretty up there with "Site Under Construction" bulldozers for me. Also, I don't think flat design precludes rounded corners?

    You mean Linq-to-Sql? Entity Framework lets you use Linq and manages your db for you. As long as you use the Code-First approach it's... okay. But it does at least support compiling Linq to Sql mostly alright. (I'm looking at you NHibernate

    Sql Server and MVC also come to mind as less-than-ideal names.

    I've heard this far more commonly from Java programmers as "Write once, debug everywhere", but maybe that's changed. (this was quite some time ago)
