What is the actual use case for a "self-modifying singular intelligence"? Define the problem you are trying to solve (as an actual task, not nebulous stuff about beliefs) and I reckon you will find more success. There is a one nice way arou

You are looking for work. While someone should take interest, maybe nobody will take you seriously or find it easy to hire you, because of your age (sorry, I've been there).If you do contract work, be careful to get the agreement in writing

If it is like the interrogation I have gotten from developed countries outside the US, they are asking questions about what you do and what brings you to their country, and the questioning can be somewhat adversarial. Which nobody likes.

If you travel frequently across borders, you will often be taken aside and asked questions. It is mind-numbingly common, it has happened to me in Schiphol (EU) several times. Very annoying, but not at all the same as people being beaten an

I agree that Django vs. Flask is not a matter of what sucks or is broken. If I think a hammer looks nice but someone informed explains that it is designed in such a way that the head will tend to fly off, I find that very instructive. The m

To be fair to the author of the presentation: if there is a problem, it isn't features and reuse. It's tight coupling, boilerplate and overhead. (Although it is funnier to say that the problem is features and reuse, like it is more provocat

I completely agree with you about needlessly provocative titles. On the other hand, in the world of frameworks, it's not entirely common for the use cases to be (as) disjoint as they are for hammers vs. spatulas. More often, frameworks over

You can, but that doesn't mean you should. It's brittle. If your app or library breaks because a minor update to a dependency changed those internals completely, you can't say you weren't warned.

Would you mind saying a little about what kind of thing you are looking for? I am curious.

There is no dichotomous distinction between coding and using vim to automate tasks. The latter is part of the former - no different from using q or @ or .

As I recall, vimpager doesn't edit files, it just uses vim to view the file instead of using a different program to view the file.

Here's a gist comparing the Moka front page example to a slightly more typical Python way of doing things: https://gist.github.com/1380898 EDIT: using the timeit module on these, the Moka version is about 18 times slower on my machine...

It's totally legitimate for you to write this according to your own taste and use it. I don't think it's bad for Python, or anything like that. You are not an idiot and I am sure you can write interesting and useful programs in Python. But

vimrc affects startup time, but like any program it isn't the lines but the work done which will make it slow or fast. How slowly does your computer read a 1000-line text file? vim is fast, setting some parameters in vimrc doesn't change th

Using Python and other runtimes is often kind of slow - it's not a huge deal but if you have a lot of this stuff in your config, then vim might start up only like 8 times faster than Eclipse. The other thing is that the Vim API you use in t

I also have a huge vim configuration: https://github.com/sashahart/.vim I highly recommend putting your vim configuration on github or similar, you don't have to worry about losing your config and it gets easier for everyone to learn the
