Shitting on things other people built is in such poor taste, imo. People built and released code that at least some other people are sure to find worthwhile. He's saying his time is valuable, yet he's using it to talk down the efforts of

Maybe. I never had a fear of commercial flying, but the first few lessons in a cessna 152 on a sunny day sure reminded me why people are afraid to fly. That, and me almost killing me and instructor a few months later did that too. At least

This is great! Thanks! I spent some time trying to learn how Cocoa's text system works and this should help quite a bit. Also, I'll try to include something like this in MacVim.

I had to learn a lot of these knots for rock climbing (and their numerous variations) and I find myself using them in 'normal' life too. Knowing a few crucial knots (learn the bowline and a few variations, seriously) is a great skill to hav
