In modern Vim (with netrw), you can type `gx` when the cursor is over a URL to open it in your browser.

Great read. One of my favourite quotes is "motivation follows action". Often times I've found myself loath to do something, but once I start "revving up" (at work, it might be starting with something simple like a s

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for those.

I tried to take the test—but the fifth time I pressed "next" it gave me a 404. The key to faking a real smile is in wrinkling the eyes.

> They need to make money somehow. Yes, because their profit margins are that low (!). Considering Apple charges you £500 for a phone and £1000 for a laptop, I'd expect a bit more in terms of default cloud storage. 5 gig (and the 16

Alcohol, plastics (which leech from containers into the liquid they contain), pesticides (on fruits, vegetables)—there are a host of environmental factors that reduce our testosterone levels. And as for anxiety, I think our modern urban lif

I'd think the opposite. Since she is used to having to work hard from a young age, she will be more successful in life. Others who coasted through—whom were used to everything being relatively easier—will not have the experience she ha

Funny, it reminded me more of the episode "Be Right Back".

Agreed, although it's interesting to see the disassemblies. Python is a language about readability and conciseness first, performance second. I would have liked to have seen `map` used in the list comp examples, as well as seeing the t

Adding my own two cents here— - You can no longer put your phone into silent from the volume slider - You can no longer put your phone into vibrate or silent from the power menu - They removed the shortcut to "app info" from the m

To to keep your fingers on the home row, in order to have better access to all the other keys in your keyboard. Having your fingers on the arrow keys mean your hand has to travel that much further to type the other keys—making you slower.

Good tips. Getting in the habit of explicitly searching (/) instead of scrolling is another one. On the subject of using fFtT (and other motions), there's a plugin I quite like that works well with my mental model of that motion—I

I've always heard a lot of this is due to improper running technique, since shoe technology shifted to a heavily-padded heel. This in turn made people more likely to land on the heel, which sends the shock right up the leg, into the kn

Relationships are an investment. It requires some effort but the return on that effort is incredibly high. As I get older I realize how valuable my friendships all are.

It's because you weren't eating any fats. On a low-carb diet, your body uses fat as its energy source. If you don't eat any fat, your body will not willingly consume your body fat. Excess protein you eat is effectively broken

Thanks! This plays nicely with my confirmation bias; I've been on a ketogenic diet since March and I've felt much better because of it.

I've posted this on previous ad blocking threads, and I'll post it again because I think it's very relevant— > "Adblock without the plus" isn't the original Adblock (from which Adblock Plus was forked), it&#

FTL is a bit of an outlier in the sense that they were fully funded. If you're an independent studio without that kind of money, you're still at a publisher (or other financer)'s mercy.

Perhaps, but are "regular folks" that inclined to buy an Xbox One just to play a few Kinect games? Sales figures suggest not.

I'd do this, but the lack of indication of the editing mode you're in destroys how useful this'd be to me (I'd have to paranoidly hit Esc all the time).

The problem with App.net was that it offered nothing new. It was an alternative to existing free, established products—Twitter (and, to an extent, Google+ and Facebook).

This is very well said, and a very good point. Not all derivative works are strictly bad, in the same sense that copyright infringement (eg, downloading an album on The Pirate Bay to try it out) can be a gateway to purchasing content (album
