It might just be multiple monitor related. I use Atom on OSX Mavericks daily, and haven't noticed any issues. Only one monitor though.

I always thought that drum sound was on purpose. I kind of liked the way it sounded.

Atom just had an update this week that's supposed to have improved the DOM interaction. It might be a bit better now.

Out of curiosity, what's your use case for changing a token that appears several hundred times with multiple cursors? Wouldn't find and replace be more effective?

This is the future of textbooks.

As long as I can implement a webserver in it.

Are there any modern logic programming languages? I've tried looking for them before, but found nothing.

I don't see that as ridiculing them. An apologist is someone who argues in defense of something. In this case, the PSD format. It seems apt here.

I think what they said was that there's no way a burger that was made of vegetables could taste better than fresh vegetables.

Although the 'Nokia Ringtone' was attributed correctly to Tarrega in a footnote, its title was never mentioned. The piece is called 'Gran Vals'.

I haven't finished it yet, but I find this much easier to understand than any other article on neural networks that I've read.

Yes, and they have been for a long time, although probably not as high-temperature as you're imagining. Wikipedia has an uncited claim that the high-temperature label applies to anything over 30K, which is still extremely cold.

It's not really the same thing, but there's a scratchpad plugin for Atom that might be useful for you.

https://atom.io/packages/scratchpad

It's already got a huge amount of features when you include packages (and installing them is completely frictionless). Unofficial windows builds exist too[1]. And as someone who's used to heavyweight IDEs, Atom is already pretty fast (not that I'm going to complain about the react update...)

I've been using Go in a large web application for a few months now. I only skimmed the article, but I didn't notice anything that's caused me problems. I quite enjoy working with it, although I like the idea of adding generics (not that I've needed them yet)/operator overloading/range extension.

I've heard of people rebinding it to caps lock. It makes sense as long as you don't mind holding down shift for the occasional all-caps text.

I'd consider someone a programmer if they can program. Whatever their preferred workflow is, is completely irrelevant if they can deliver.

Yes, absolutely. It'd be a little odd if they hadn't picked up that skill, but I don't see what relevance using or preferring vim could have to, say, teaching functional programming.

Keep in mind that a lot of the keyboard features we take for granted weren't always present on early terminals. Navigating is a lot harder if you don't have, say, arrow keys. In that case, a separate mode makes a lot of sense for getting around (no arrow keys? Just map hjkl to them in navigation mode). Plus the same command can do different things depending on mode, so there are less distinct patterns of keypresses to memorize. Yes, you could do everything as a series of chords (like in emacs), but I don't think it's necessarily superior.

Here's a list of some navigation mode commands. You can probably come up with reasonable ways to do them with only the keyboard & none of the alphanumeric or punctuation keys used alone, but would that be any easier? http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/03/8-essential-vim-editor-n...

It varies, but it's usually a fair bit higher than that.

I'm used to heavyweight IDEs like Eclipse, so it's pretty snappy by my standards.

So is this just heating areas of the brain? If bone isn't transparent to infra-red (I have no idea...), then it has to be, right?

What do you intend to use it for? Is there a hobbyist application for these?

I've been using Light Table with the LightTable-Go plugin (I'm one of the contributors). Support is still fairly basic, but for my needs it works pretty well. If you want to try it, grab the plugin from github and not the ide's plugin manager - that one hasn't been updated in some time.

This is simply incredible. I'm just blown away by it.

I wonder if you could get better performance when running locally by sending the result through a spellchecker and doing some Bayesian magic on the word choice...

I haven't read any of the chapters of this, so my comparison may be a bit off, but you might check out The Elements Of Computing Systems[1]. It goes from logic gates to compilers.

Hey, I'm one of the contributors for that plugin. There's still a lot of work to be done, but I'm finding it fairly usable right now. If you get around to it soon, make sure to grab the plugin from Github and not the plugin manager. The version in the manager is very out of date. And pull requests are very welcome.

EDIT: For the record, I'm using it on Windows
