Because it's getting exponentially and disproportionately more complicated to just make what ought to be a pretty simple e-store. At this rate I'll soon need to know how to do advanced calculus just to figure out how to make an in

Looks like this is a bunch of links to what's basically CSS4? (Not sure why all 4 links on the landing page go to the exact same page , but whatever.) If this really is the future of CSS, then I now hate CSS even more than I already d

Meh. After trying to write real-world programs using bindings like MacRuby and PyObjC and probably others I've long forgotten, I'm convinced it's really not worth it compared to just using the blessed language of whatever pla

Similar story here. I use IntelliJ for Java and Emacs for Clojure. We're porting our codebase from Clojure to Java at work, so soon it'll all be IntelliJ, which will be pretty sweet. I do kinda miss Paredit, but IntelliJ makes up

Well after 5 years of using Vim, the muscle memory for more efficient operations never kicked in. I was either holding "h" and "l" to move around, or I was consciously thinking of the more efficient combined operations l

Well I got really good at it after like 5 years of using it, and that muscle memory never kicked in for me. So maybe it's possible that it can be done, just not by everyone?

> How does Emacs help with this particular problem? What, inefficiency? Inefficiency wasn't the problem. The problem was having to focus too much of my mind on how to use the editor. Muscle memory is invaluable, and Vim just doesn

> "If you have to move more than a couple of lines, moving one line at a time by holding down j or k is inefficient." This very point is actually why I moved from Vim to Emacs years ago. After mastering Vim, I realized that V

What you described above, the "productization" of someone's death, is part of a bigger problem, where people are isolated from each other by technology and by a dehumanizing (and uncoincidentally technophilic) culture that tu

But why not just write JS/HTML5 code which inherently works on web, and use something like Electron to make it work on desktop too?

But how is this different than selling your data? They're using your data to help developers make money from you, and they get a cut of that money.

Realtime collaborative app for designers? Neat! Also glad to see that it does more than just mobile designs. I just feel bad for the designers who are going to try to use this with their non-designer customers. Off topic, I wish I could hav

Yep, mostly Lombok (especially @Data for immutable typed objects with automatic constructors without boilerplate), streams, and lambdas.

All the refactorings and context-aware code completion, for starters. And as for ripping off, IntelliJ came out 7 years before Sublime Text.

Thanks for your comment. It inspires me to write a blog post on why Java is my new favorite language, especially in comparison to Go.

Can confirm. At work we're moving from Clojure 8 to Java 8 partially because IntelliJ is amazing and partially because Java 8 plus the right libraries is close enough to Clojure anyway, except much faster.

Right, that's what makes it an anti-joke. Anti jokes can be funny. Just, it's weird that it's one of the first jokes we're introduced to growing up, because it's not a typical or even basic kind of joke.

I never understood that joke. Is it supposed to be an anti-joke? That's the only way it makes any sense as a joke. And if so, why is it one of the first jokes we hear as children?
