Same here. Amazingly, the first inflection point was after about 60 seconds of pure disgust. Not into that G yet. I think I'll call them oogle from now on.

Well, I did manage to get through the first year or two (not 40hrs per week but close) with blissful ignorance of what vim was capable of. Only then did I start picking up new commands beyond the basic insert, append, delete stuff. And ev

Actually, I think Microsoft is getting a lot of things right recently. This may be my naive mind getting caught up in their clever PR moves but seriously, I would give their stuff a shot if it wasn't so hard to adjust (1) after ten y

This article pretty clearly summarises my thoughts when I see one of those "hiring engineer #1 at startup X" posts. Ideas are a dime a dozen. It's execution that matters (at least when you are just starting your business) and

Sorry, off topic, but aww, I was hoping for some new public exposure for wisp, the Javascript Lisp: https://github.com/Gozala/wisp Such a cute language but I still have not used in anything other than some toy projects

Which, ironically, is not so different from what they are doing to get jQuery in the first place.

I was really hoping for them to implement this, because I like to keep relevant scientific papers next to the code. If for example I were to implement an algorithm described in a publicly available paper, I'd much rather have it sit ri

Considering the new MacBook is just 2 pounds, I guess they'd have to put a really weak magnet in there to actually keep your Mac safe. I assume the threshold where the plug should "let go" is pretty close to the force requi

Sorry for asking this stupid question, but what program is that waveform screenshot from? I've been looking for a GTKWave alternative for some time now …

It's funny this is coming up today. I was bored the other day and put up some old C++ code. [1] Some years ago I was playing around with C++ templates (pre C++11) to see how far I can go and I came up with exactly that kind of unit che

Next time, kids, we'll do the same without support from our fancy IDE! O wait, no. Let's _not_ do that.

That surprised me as well. After some thinking I came up with min and max. If, for example, I want to change direction after x==4 I can do use -1.5(max(x,4)-4) 0 4 -----, \ \ Maybe there are mor

Thanks for the link. At [ngeurope](ngeurope.org) Miško pointed out that they we're specifically not aiming to create yet-another-language. Instead they are evaluating ways for JS to evolve beyond ES6 and are planning to propose AtScr

Local git repos, mostly. But I learned my lesson. Ever since that incident every LOC is pushed to GitHub, no matter how silly/hacky/not-yet-ready it is.

Seems like a good opportunity to revive Armadillo, no? I mean … he has not been with Oculus for too long, officially at least, despite giving them the praise that earned them $2bn. All in all, a fair deal for Oculus, I think. Now the questi

If I travel at a constant speed of 100 km/h (~62mph), it takes me one hour to travel 100km (~62 miles). This is not even math. Do you want me to a) convert between km/h and km/"simple h" or b) replace all tachometer
