I navigate almost exclusively by keyboard and I use multiple cursors in Sublime Text constantly . Maybe a better term for it would be "multiple carets".

I've been playing since about 2009 or so, and I've actually almost never used a numeric keypad. Unless I'm forgetting something in some deep part of my settings, you don't actually need anything in particular from the nu

I think you are probably living in a bubble if you think that those reasons are rare. I'm in Boston (not the most diverse place) and I know a bunch of people in the local industry who don't drink for religious or dietary reasons.

I don't think really any scientists in the relevant fields actually think it's an interesting mystery. Lots of people make extraordinary claims about new theories or perpetual motion machines, but those claims frequently get repor

Facebook's "Circles" are called "Lists", and UX aside, I think Facebook's Lists are a lot better than Google+'s Circles. I actually got a chance to talk with some Google+ folks at an event while the beta w

That actually is one of my favorite things about arrow functions next to the no-changing-this aspect. I find CoffeeScript's optional return statement really awkward to read for anything that isn't a one-liner. I don't want to

Why not? Aside from the obvious altruistic reasons, the cost of restricting it is probably more than the cost of not bothering to do so.

I've heard from a few people who work in politics in state and national congresses that (non-form) physical letters and phone calls from concerned constituents can have a surprising amount of weight on the decisions of congresspeople.

The point was that this is pointless, as wealth cannot be distributed, it can only be destroyed. I don't really know what your reasoning behind this is. I'm pretty sure we redistribute money all the time through taxes. And that
