Used it in college about 8 years ago. Can't say I'd do the same today, but back at that time it made some sense as college programming classes were teaching more than just practical programming knowledge.
Superior is a strong word, if your preference is to bottom out flat keys then thats all well and good. I personally type like I am playing an instrument, pressing just enough to activate and then letting the key push my finger up. I find no enjoyment on typing on an apple keyboard, which I am now and it also causes me joint pain from all the constant bottoming out.
I would invest in a few storage coins, there are 2-3 major ones depending on who you ask. I wont list them here, do some research put a little into 2 of the ones you think are best. Your guess is as good as mine.
I would note that I have investments in 2 of the largest storage coins.
I have been a Sublime 2 user for 4 years now and have always been content with the experience. When I first used Atom because it was the only browser supported by Hacklang's tooling. What I noticed was how slow Atom was, startup, large files, and typing in text. It is something I have been so used to in Sublime and I could not give that up for unless there is a tool I really need on Atom.
I can't agree more, There is no reason that editing text files would need a full web browser which is buggy and slow. Many of these javascript apps which are replacing native apps use 500mb of ram, at some point you will have 5-10 of these things churning memory and consuming battery life and cpu cycles. (Note Atom, HyperTerm, Chrome, Slack, and Kitematic is already 5 browser apps)
It may be because in the past 5 years from today most of these languages have seized development. It is still interesting to see which of the "New Hotness" languages of 2011 are still around and strong. Like Clojure and Go
I have had the same experience you had. My mother ran a deli in a middle class neighborhood and she couldn't sell enough $8-10 subs which had higher quality meats so she made a cheaper option with cheaper meats the $5 option which really brought out the worst in people. They would complain how we didn't use the same high quality meats and cheeses and how we would charge extra for adding more then 4 toppings. I did the math and the margins where literally zero, she was running a charity for the community and being berated for it. She sold the place recently and if she gets back in the business she wont be the low cost leader, even though it is the kind of place she wants to run.
I doubt they are subsidizing the cost with shipping fee's. They probably hired out the shipments to an outside company which charges a fee for labor time, as well as packaging. Amazon does it as well as various drop shipment companies I have worked with.
By being/attempting to be the "low cost leader" really brings out the worst people in comments. People who complain about shipping and packaging and the price on other sites and the price of other products, on and on and on. You couldn't pay me to be in such a market I feel bad for those who provide a cheap service or product and then get the worst feedback one could get.
I can understand, the McDonalds in my hometown had the ball pit and all the 1950's fixings until about 5 years ago when they ripped it all out and did the same but the real killer was that the ball pit was replaced with a bunch of gamecube stations.
It seem to me that the newly renovated McDonalds are more like Panera's so I can see the appeal to go there to hang and converse. My friends and I used to always hang out at McDonalds when we were kids because they don't care if you loiter for hours.
I feel you on the 'he' argument, it may be because I have relatively large hands or it really isn't an issue for some people. Dvorak seems to be better for bursts of speed on some words while tying you up on other words, where in Colemak I type at a constant speed for most words.
There are for sure a handful of cons, like not being able to use someone elses computer without some painful layout switching time. But as someone who works on a keyboard all day it really saves my wrists. If I was ever able to not type I would be out of a job.
I have tried both Workman and Colemak. I first tried Workman but ran into the issue of that on my phone and on other peoples laptops the layout was unavailable. So I moved to Colemak and haven't looked back, and have now been using it for about 3 months. Both are nice layouts, I dont see any major benefit from switching between each except for layout support on operating systems.
I used to have night terrors as a child and pre teen. It is the scariest thing one could imagine for those who have never experienced it. For myself I would be partially awake but unable to move hypersensitive to noise light and dark. The whole room would stretch away from me. The hum of the fan or the window unit would ramp up to a deafening squeal. The darkness would turn to a plague of spotted bugs and the light would flicker like a fire. All taunting and terrible, worse then any nightmare.
Others have provided good answers but I'll add my 2 cents. Neovim was made to be fully(Mostly?) backwards compatible with all Vim specific features, and most Vi features. You may be wondering what is missing, some ed features and support for some more obscure Operating Systems. You shouldn't have to worry about the missing features as they are mostly legacy features that mostly all new/newish users of vim never will use. As for additional features they are mostly all under the hood, better embedablility, extensibility, and sensible defaults things you don't need when editing your Appache routes on the server.
Been using Neovim for about 6 months now, The only real difference I have felt so far is that I was able to remove a few lines from my .vimrc, like history=10000 as Neovim does this by default. As for Vim, I am done with it forever, not because of vim more because of package managers compiling vim without paste mode or lua/ruby support and making me compile vim from source with my own flags, which was a harrowing experience for me, when I was just trying to set up my development environment.
Some NES games used some crafty hacks to get more sprites on screen then allowed by the GPU and Video Ram, I am curious if they will every be able to render that without having to make many custom rules for each game.
I had a professor who worked in a Dupont lab in New Jersey. He studied crystal structures using x-rays, something too cool for me to comprehend. Anyway he said the lab did work with a mixture of acids they called "Liquid Fire". It would pretty much corrode through any container, metal/plastic/glass. He said there were talks to sell it to the military but it would have been too unsafe to get to the battle field. Note didn't read the article, I think I have read this one before.
I cant seem to get into this idea. First if I were to ride this in NYC I would probably be on my face with the 2 inch wheels stuck in the subway grates or in a pot whole. Some may say "Well skate boards have small wheels" this devices wheels are smaller, and you don’t have the momentum from peddling to get you over the bumps. And also its plain awkward without being "cool", like an electric mountain board.
I agree, it is also hard to start a conversation around a handful of tweets. In the end all we can say is that wired messed up and this story will not get a proper write up and conversation.
I worked on multiple projects where the front end work was out sourced. The kind of work you get back is generally quite detached from modern standards. In the end I have spent a lot of time trying to fix what an outsourcing agency made and would say that any time saved in the short run was lost in the long run. Just remember you spend more time reading code then writing it.
