   Atom is a graphical editor, unlike either Vim or Emacs. It's much easier for web developers specifically to work on, since it's built with web technologies, rather than vimscript. If I want to change the background color of the fi

   Isn't reading books a good way to build fundamentals? I don't think reading a book necessarily precludes you from working on the exercises in that book, which would indeed be a great way to build your understanding of a language.

   Many of their books, as far as I can tell, are simply reprints of a framework's API documentation.

   If you find that distressing, consider donating to https://givedirectly.org/ instead. They keep their admin costs very low, they're remarkably transparent, and all they do is hand your money over to the extremely poor

   If one of your developer's Campfire (assuming y'all still use this) accounts gets popped, does the attacker now have the ability to deploy to production, or is there some other mitigating factor not mentioned here?

    Not quite sure I'm understanding the point of your snark. The fact that vulnerabilities exist mean that it's not well tested? Take a look at the tests directory. No matter how many tests you have, security vulnerabilities exist in

    I'm a big fan of skepticism, but blindly questioning anything you see without supporting your claims is just another form of superstition.

    I don't feel like even attempting to try to hack together what Flowdock gives me on top of IRC. That would involve far too much of my time, and I'd rather have a team of very smart engineers dedicated to keeping it secure, running

    Exactly right! Every engineering job I've had has been considered "at will employment," [1] meaning that the company can terminate you, or you can walk, at any time, and for any (legal) reason. [1] https://en.wikip

    This comment confuses me. They're currently in the process of building a new systems programming language ( http://www.rust-lang.org/ ) with which to build the next version of Firefox.

    I don't think anyone is claiming that they benefit from sponsoring non-competitors, only that they would suffer a disadvantage from funding a competitor, and that this MAY have weighed into their decision-making.

    I think labelling me as "very short-sighted" because we might one day, in the future, hypothetically reach THC intake levels that are considered lethal is a bit much. We aren't there yet, and even with the technologies you me

    You're being downvoted for comments like this: "I hope someone did the same when you guys launched and I hope it made you struggle." The fact is that you're freaking out about something nobody else here really cares abou

    A "lethal" dosage of THC would require a blood transfusion - literally replacing your blood with THC until you asphyxiated. I've heard the LD50 (the lethal dosage that would kill 50% of the population) of cannabis described a
