Same here. I only install a handful of apps in my phone, and this is one of them. One wrapping-11x11 game of "Net" is just right for my short subway commute.

Note that handwriting styles are not called fonts , but hands . A font is basically a set of prefabricated letters.

Not all commands accept input as arguments, so it's still a good trick to know.

:.!ls means "filter the current line through ls". Since ls ignores stdin, the effect is that the current line gets replaced by its output. :r!ls just inserts the output, without replacing anything.

I didn't downvote, but what I really meant is "giving your baby the name 'Baby'".

When I taught programming to freshmen, the example I used to use when they called variables "number" or "string" was: "that's like calling your baby 'baby'."

The lambda calculus teaches you how to build computation from a very simple evaluation rule called "beta reduction" which is just a fancy name for "search and replace" with function parameters. If you can find a system t

Yes, this is the point that's often missing in discussions about types. You can (and you have to work to) encode properties as types to get more value out of them. It's not about avoid mixing ints and strings.

A trick I used to use in the floppy disk era: $ mount /mnt/floppy $ mv !$/file_I_needed . $ u!mo The last command would umount(8) the floppy. I use !! all the time, specially when first using find to see whic

If vim for you is "the thing you edit config files with when sshing to a server," yes, it is. As a full-fledged development environment, it's not.

I agree, it's just Good Enough. I mostly miss some add-ons like surround.

Hi lihaoyi, what advantages does your library have over `scala.util.parsing.combinator` and parboiled? I have only used the former, and while I loved it there were a couple of things that I felt could be improved.

The great thing about vim is that it'll always be there as a fallback. I keep a file with my passwords, encrypted with Vim's builtin encryption. Neovim removed that feature. If I ever switch to neovim, I can still use vim when I n

The use of proportional fonts is the least weird thing about Acme :) I'm really intrigued by that editor. Some day I'll give it a honest try.

C-[ is trivial in an English keyboard, but in the Spanish layout it's an awkward three-key chord. I use the latter, and I've been happily inoremapping jj to <esc> for a decade.

It seems that programmers take their favorite feature of a programming language for comparing it to others: If you like first-class functions, then Javascript becomes "Scheme in the browser." If you miss having a REPL and then dis
