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

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 in

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

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 t

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 real

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

So you don't expect to pay taxes or shipping of something you buy online?

by codemonkeymike 10y ago
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.

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 game

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 y

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, wher

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 w

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

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 w

This is all too true. I had people in my 300 level Networking who even after that class didn't know how DNS servers worked (at a high level).

C was not designed to create gui's. So its a feat of accomplishment as opening a bottle with your teeth.

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 suppo

by codemonkeymike 10y ago
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 bec

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.

All we need now is a big fake plastic gun mount for our sensor, and a VR phone holder and we will be talking. Everywhere is a war zone.

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". I

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 dev

Walmart has its own trucks and truck drivers on pay roll. That could be a decent part of the difference.

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
