2mur··on Vim: ZZ and zz: Do you know the difference?
I pair it with half-page ups/downs. The cursor is always on the center line for easier vertical movements after scrolling

nnoremap <C-d> <C-d>zz

nnoremap <C-u> <C-u>zz

2mur··on Ask HN: Favorite nonfiction books of 2018?
My choice as well. Lovely dive into psychedelics
2mur··on Marijuana use holds three-fold blood pressure death risk: study
Repeat after me:

"Correlation is not causation."

2mur··on The Dark Side of Doctoring
For me:

* Golden handcuffs

* Sunk cost

* Rewarding mastery

* Deep specialized knowledge with no other remuneration prospects for that knowledge.

2mur··on How police found Twitter user accused of sending seizure-triggering GIF
Status epileptics can definitely be fatal. Epileptics are at serious risk of death from seizures or seizure-related injury so I would not be so dismissive of the risk.
2mur··on Winklevoss Twins’ Bitcoin Exchange
Localbitcoin has sellers who accept cash-purchased gift card codes. You're going to pay above market rate.
2mur··on Medium Raises $57M
The only one I can think of without actually going to medium and digging through posts is Steven Levy.

But I like the curated front page/top articles. I will go there to specifically check that page out when I have a spare moment.

There's probably a price point that I would pay to have that list sent to my inbox daily.

2mur··on Ask HN: Can you suggest some good JavaScript projects to read and learn?

2mur··on Why Is the Federal Government Afraid of Fat?
The 3 hardest words to string together: I was wrong

(see also: the War on Drugs)

2mur··on Ask HN: What are your favourite tools to work with?
vim + tmux
2mur··on Johann Hari on the War on Drugs
Chasing the Scream is an excellent book and is thoroughly footnooted and referenced to combat Hari's prior history of troubles. Highly recommended if you are frustrated with the WOD.
2mur··on Useful Techniques in Go
Zero values in struct initialization (and other places) is a routinely encountered behavior in go.

2mur··on Goodbye Marco
Sounds like it could have been toxic shock syndrome.

2mur··on Ask HN: What are you reading?
Trigger Warning - Neil Gaiman's short story collection.

Trying to finish it before next week when I will drop everything to read:

Seveneves - Neal Stephenson

which comes out on Tuesday.

2mur··on When You Lose Weight, Where Does It Go?
Sebaceous glands function in a similar manner. Holocrine secretion where you basically expel the cell entirely. Not surprising really since breast tissue is essentially modified sweat/salivary gland.

2mur··on 1.5 Million Missing Black Men
Unbelievably sad.

This is your drug war success.

2mur··on Ask HN: Which book are you reading these days?
Anathem and Cryptonomicon are both must-reads by Stephenson too.
2mur··on Keeping Personal Cheat Sheets as a Software Engineer
My vim cheatsheet lives in my dotfiles repo. Always gets cloned into a fresh system.
2mur··on Eloquent JavaScript, The Annotated Version

2mur··on A Scholarly Markdown
Why not asciidoc?
2mur··on Seriously, we need multi-column editors
Vim alone or vim+tmux is what you're looking for.
2mur··on Announcing Rust 1.0 Alpha
gofmt is a huge win for Go. Bye bye bikeshedding. I'd love to see that for Rust too.
2mur··on Open Sourcing Our Go Libraries (2014)
Even more nitpicky, it is an interface. It is where you get into problems with nil interfaces and not returning an explicit nil value for the error.
2mur··on Admitting Defeat on K&R in LCTHW
Definitely come to Go and Rust, Zed.
2mur··on Ask HN: What is the best JavaScript stack for a beginner to learn?
vanilla.js
2mur··on What Happened When Marissa Mayer Tried to Be Steve Jobs
I'm glad they added duckduckgo
2mur··on Show HN: Simple logger and debugger for Go programs
package =/= repo name

Don't do that

2mur··on The Curious Case of iPhone 6+ 1080p Display
Anybody know what window.devicePixelRatio will report on the 6+?

Raster-based pixel manipulation applications suck in this brave new hidpi world!
