   The commentary about swapping SIMs and fast 'net puzzles me. If someone in Snowden's position wants to avoid tracking, given the leaked information that is the very reason he is wanted, I would think the safest tactic is to es

   The factory workers feared machines because the machines could precisely replicate their efforts. If backend engineering efforts were replaceable with a one-size-fits-all API like Parse, I already would be out of work (instead, everyone is

   I don't see any argument that Bootstrap's HTML is in any way becoming a standard. When you start a project, if you are not using Bootstrap, do you reference the Bootstrap guide when you write your HTML? I don't, and have never seen evidence

   Off-topic, but if you manage a content site, and you cannot say with a straight face that your mobile site is objectively better for mobile devices in some way, GET RID OF THE MOBILE SITE.

    That article is probably doing more harm than good. Using Vim with Dvorak came as naturally as switching to Dvorak from QWERTY (that is, it took some work, but now I wouldn't use anything else).

    Pathogen—as mentioned—is great, but I've switched to Vundle and find it easier to manage.

    I think you have a good point in that working in "command mode", or "chording", or whatever you want to call it, is different than writing prose. FWIW, I am a Vim user and I think it works great in Dvorak ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item

    If anyone is interested in comparing Colemak, Dvorak, and Qwerty for themselves, here's a small executable I wrote: https://github.com/bak/keyboard_battle . `gem install keyboard_battle`, then `keyboard_battle anytext.txt` or `keyboard_bat

    Thanks, you make some good points. My layman's understanding of the inverse square law makes me think that your claim that "your brain likely gets as much as your lap anyways" might be a bridge too far, but from your other comments, I'd lik

    If I understand GP, it's the idea that when your work on a feature branch is complete, you use rebase to base that branch on the current tip of the branch you are integrating to, e.g., "master", so the result does not reveal the presence of
