So much this, and it applies to things other than editors too. I used to constantly look for people's opinions on all kinds of software to decide which one was best for me due to a belief that if I used something that I didn't e

I feel like I'm in the "Desert of Despair" and I'm not quite sure where to go. So far I'm self-taught in C, C++, Python, Lisp (a few of them) and some shell stuff. I have the basic syntax nailed in all of those. I d

I'm doing the same in Oulu and I am optimistic. Things will change and there's reason to believe it'll get better: http://teknologiateollisuus.fi/sites/default/files/file_atta...

I'd be interested in knowing how this compares to the Silver Searcher [0], I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned at all since they're similar. [0] https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

Seems like it isn't perfect yet. At least on Firefox I don't get to watch videos in 1080p anymore on Youtube with the HTML5 player.

You're right. That was actually a bad example, I admit. A better example would be the bottle of soda that you might see on a store shelf. I've updated the reply.

> We called the project Brand Killer. Ah neat, that certainly is a lot more fitting of a description.

That's pretty cool but I feel like they're mixing up ads and brands. Like I expected a real life adblock to say, blur actual advertisements in a magazine or billboard. Instead in this video they show it blurring brands like on the

I know right? I'm running my Nexus 7 2012 and I still haven't gotten the Android Lollipop OTA, but then again considering how many people say it makes the device even slower maybe that's a good thing.

I had always though the SR-71 was the fastest airplane, and it turns out I'm right (sorta). The X-15 isn't an air plane , apparently (hence why it's only referred to as an air craft ). I'm not sure why but probably becau

You mean just like "the worst programming language ever"? Because I actually think the title should be "BS: The Worst Programming Language Ever" because it isn't really about Intercal but his made up language BS.

I find it funny that it seems like any conversation about a particular tiling window manager will eventually turn into a conversations about window managers in general. So to continue the trend, I used to use tiling wm's until I lear

i3 is pretty easy to learn and configure I'd say having dabbled with most of the popular window managers bar Xmonad. Nowadays I just use the Xfce window manager.

I think both are valuable and I often scribble things if I'm working on something challenging. That said being able to write or type faster has its place because at the end of the day your program will require typing out in its entiret

"How to make Debian sorta more like Slackware?" I just thought it was funny how much the end result resembled the default Slackware install. Also for power management I'd recommend tlp[0] over laptop-mode-tools. [0] http:&#x
