Try github.com/amix/vimrc to start off. It has a nice look. You can then add more shortcuts/customize further as you gain more experience with vim.

Why doesn't Windows drop the purported compatibility with CP/M and get rid of control-z being a special file marker at this point? Lots of legacy code relying on it?

There should also be a Latex library (?) that makes your documents look like they were photocopied, so you can use the coffee stains and the photocopy to make it look like you spent long nights working on your assignments.

Because one day you might need to, and you'll write a 100 lines of code to do it. If you had known what a BFS is and how to write it, you'd be able to accomplish the same task in 10 lines of code.

What kind of internal integrations, if I may ask? Does it automatically deploy code for you on a successful build or something like that?

Oh, I had no idea it was open source. Thanks!

This would be really useful if it can be run offline. Much easier to use than writing code, compiling it with -S to produce assembly, then trawling through the assembly to look for the code you're interested in.

Who cares about the payoff? Startups will still pay you a good enough salary, and if they don't why would you even consider working there? It's not like startups don't pay a salary at all. And if a startup does pay well, why

What's the alternative?

Yeah exactly. I don't understand why they wanted the scheduler to be written in Python, since the scheduler should be decoupled from the jobs they are running anyway.

That's why I said "pay reasonably well". It seems to me that most places that don't interview and filter candidates by asking algorithmic problems don't pay as well as those that do. That's just been my experie

by jokh 8y ago
That is true, but in order to get the jobs you described that pay reasonably well you still need to solve algorithmic problems on Leetcode or CTCI. And sometimes knowing different data structures and algorithms do come in handy, so some pro

I like how comment authors employ real critical thinking, unlike places like reddit where all the top comments echo each other. So fresh perspectives helps me learn from people with different viewpoints who aren't afraid to question ot

> Not everyone has a LinkedIn profile, and by only contacting those with a profile, you are potentially introducing bias into the selection How? Are you saying Canadian graduates that go south are more likely to have a LinkedIn profile?

Nope, cell phones are the most popular method, but there's also a web app for Messenger (messenger.com) which makes it even more convenient.

Depends on how old you are and where you live. As a college student in North America, everyone uses Messenger, nothing else. How would leaving Messenger work without shrinking your social circle to 0? In other countries, like where my famil

It's pretty much impossible to not use Messenger these days. I stopped using Facebook, but I can't just quit Messenger unfortunately.

Nice! How do you rank the file names when returning the search results? It'd be cool if you could rank them by factoring in git commit frequency for files, because more frequently modified files are more likely being searched for. Cool
