When you submit an article that you wrote to HN you could at least have the decency to spend 5 minutes proofreading it, couldn't you? oh-my-zsh is a great way for lazy people to get fancy features without having to look at the easily acce

I suppose having and stating an opinion that isn't kissing someone's ass makes me a douchebag according to richardlblair. I think I can live with that. All Mr. Grouchy did was give a couple examples of completion and oh-my-zsh. I think you

Due to the poor spelling and grammar, gross oversimplification of zsh's advantages, and the inclusion of oh-my-zsh as a reason to switch, I found this post insulting (as a long time zsh user). And I actually want more people to use zsh, bec

Satiety is mainly due to dietary protein intake because of its glucagon activity.

This is partially why the "glycemic index" is bogus.

"Sugar" isn't the problem. It's fructose. Hard on the liver, can't even be used by muscles.

Technically, it is energetically easier to store dietary fat as adipose as opposed to carbohydrate. The problem most people have is that they eat enough carb to satisfy their daily energy demands, and the fat they've eaten will be stored. K

webgl.disabled is false by default. I switched the force-enabled on but it dodn't make any noticeable difference. I should have mentioned I'm using the nouveau driver. I get slightly better performance with the proprietary nvidia driver. In

GLX gears is a pretty unreliable benchmark: I've gotten anywhere from 300 to 600 FPS on this machine at different times. I usually get around 90 FPS when playing fairly recent games like Modern Warfare 2 (on windows). Perhaps you meant glxi

3 (sic, three) FPS here-- Linux Mint 12 amd64, Firefox 9.0.1, nvidia Go 7300 with 512MB RAM and 4GB system RAM. Also only about 60% of the frame is visible at a time on my 1280x800 display.

I made a FOSS gnome icon theme whose sole host was megaupload (the tarball was too large to upload to gnome-look.org). I hope I have the original on an old computer somewhere.

So a guy who doesn't like to read manuals discovered oh-my-zsh. Am I missing something?

Every week there's some post like this, or "why I switched back and forth between Vim and Textmate 17 times", and, frankly, I just don't see the merit in it. Are you trying to get other people to use the editor you like?

I don't think this is better than any of the other thousands of git tutorials that any web search would uncover.

Don't hire 20 developers of a single language. Got it.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to pander to non-mathematicians.

Context: fair point. I can't say I'm familiar with Aaronson, however (of course I studied math and not CS).

So, it's a blog post that announces a paper. Why not just post the link to the paper?

Please look up "where" and "were" in a dictionary. I couldn't focus on the content of the article because I had to reread every sentence containing one of those words.

I hope this means that there will be an actual Doom package for Debian in the near future.

Did I say it wasn't useful? Maybe you missed my point. I could post a link to a perldoc page for some builtin function, and that would be useful, and it's probably been around for awhile, and probably nobody knows who wrote it. Would you de

Anyone who knows who sjl is could have easily found his vimrc through his website. According to the bitbucket history, the file has been hosted there since at least 2009.

I'd call it some sort of desktop environment, like de.js or so.

A nice thought, but I honestly don't think it's worth the 30 seconds it would take me to follow the link and sign it.

I would say so. I have a hard time imagining that a person who giggles at advice animals also understands hashing.

I remember an example similar to this from high school algebra-- when we had started learning about conic sections and polynomials. A barber's profit was modeled as a function of the price he charged per haircut. It turned out that the grap
