The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by giving more information about the topic, perhaps from personal experience. Whereas comments like "LOL!" or worse still, "That's retarded!" teach us nothing.

I do believe simply offering a different perspective falls under the guidelines of a good comment, without the need for elaborating prematurely. That would be like pre-mature optimization; I might guess incorrectly what to elaborate on. Feedback gives me greater direction in what to answer.

And about this "the evil one"... how do you know what his/her/its desires are?

Our Church teaches us so.

I'm going to see if I can make it work with vim, although my VimL is really awful.

Kind of makes me want to look more seriously into making apps for Microsoft platforms.

That said, Mac owners are generally far more likely to go out and look for new apps to buy. Whereas Windows users will find an app that does the job, and keep using that app forever (and recommend it to friends/family).

So even though there are way more Windows users, it seems more likely to make a living as an indie Mac dev than an indie Windows dev.

I recently had an ingrown toenail. The last time I had one (in high school) I let it get so bad that after gym class my white sock would be entirely red with blood. I had to go to a pediatrist who ended up using some kind of special scissors to cut a large chunk of my toenail off to fix it and wrapped it up for a while.

Presuming I would have to go through this again, and would need a referral, I went to my local physician. Not surprisingly, said it was indeed an ingrown toenail. But, surprisingly, her first suggestion was to prescribe me some antibiotics!

That was the first time in my life I had wondered about the suggested treatment, and I actually asked her "how would that help?" And I can't remember her answer, but it seemed really dumb, so I just said "no thanks" and asked what the alternatives were, and she said "to just let it grow out" after which I would be all fine.

Now, recalling this story, I remember someone telling me about "BRAIN" or something like it, an acronym that includes "risk" and "alternatives" and "intrusive" and something else.

And yes:

- I'm using Google Chrome

- The window is about 25% of the screen size on a 15" rMBP

- I've disabled all extension windows

- I have no anti-virus software (plz don't hack me every1)

1. Communicate your feelings instead of bottling them up.

2. Be selfless and stop focusing so much on getting your wants and desires, and trust that your needs will be met.

3. Be realistic, expect that you won't always get your way, things will go wrong sometimes, and you just have to do your best.

4. If you make a vow that your marriage is going to be forever, try sticking to that instead of thinking divorce is even an option.

5. Stop focusing so much on pleasure. Even Plato got this one right. Life isn't about maximizing your pleasure and minimizing pain, it's about doing what's right. Obsessing over getting pleasure KILLS marriages. It's what gave men the stereotype of being sex-driven and what gave women the stereotype of lying there in bed just waiting for it to be over.

6. Stop believing the media. They completely get marriage and sex wrong, in every sense, in every place. Turn off your TVs and think for yourselves about what it should look like and be. Sex is a wonderful way to celebrate the most intimate union of your marriage, but it's not this amazing thing everyone should obsess about getting all the time.

It's exciting a lot like Minecraft, in that we can make our own little worlds. We exercised both sides of the brain by learning how to write HTML and maybe some Perl, all while writing actual content.

But just like Minecraft, that world is isolated and lonely. Nobody visited our sites, that's why we stopped updating them. They were inherently isolated from the beginning.

So we built social networks to replace them. We have new places to go to share our random thoughts. Places where it's slightly more likely they'll be seen by someone.

The majority of developers I know (across several camps) strongly oppose Go, often to the point of ridiculing it.

But then I see Go support being added to everything, usually by a few key people who strongly prefer it. In fact I hear Heroku is internally adopting Go pretty rapidly.

So every time I see an announcement like this, I look up whether Go has added some kind of generics yet. And as usual, they haven't.

But to me, the worst part of this is that the whole community has Stockholm syndrome, being perfectly content to instantly defend every position the Go team makes, no matter what.

EDIT: BashBooster says it's developed to be used with Vagrant, whereas f_s_s is stand-alone. So it doesn't quite require nothing.
