    It might just be multiple monitor related. I use Atom on OSX Mavericks daily, and haven't noticed any issues. Only one monitor though.

    I always thought that drum sound was on purpose. I kind of liked the way it sounded.

    Atom just had an update this week that's supposed to have improved the DOM interaction. It might be a bit better now. Out of curiosity, what's your use case for changing a token th…

    Are there any modern logic programming languages? I've tried looking for them before, but found nothing.

    I don't see that as ridiculing them. An apologist is someone who argues in defense of something. In this case, the PSD format. It seems apt here.

    I think what they said was that there's no way a burger that was made of vegetables could taste better than fresh vegetables.

    Although the 'Nokia Ringtone' was attributed correctly to Tarrega in a footnote, its title was never mentioned. The piece is called 'Gran Vals'.

    I haven't finished it yet, but I find this much easier to understand than any other article on neural networks that I've read.

    Yes, and they have been for a long time, although probably not as high-temperature as you're imagining. Wikipedia has an uncited claim that the high-temperature label applies to an…

    It's not really the same thing, but there's a scratchpad plugin for Atom that might be useful for you. https://atom.io/packages/scratchpad

    It's already got a huge amount of features when you include packages (and installing them is completely frictionless). Unofficial windows builds exist too[1]. And as someone who's …

    I've been using Go in a large web application for a few months now. I only skimmed the article, but I didn't notice anything that's caused me problems. I quite enjoy working with i…

    I've heard of people rebinding it to caps lock. It makes sense as long as you don't mind holding down shift for the occasional all-caps text.

    I'd consider someone a programmer if they can program . Whatever their preferred workflow is, is completely irrelevant if they can deliver.

    Yes, absolutely. It'd be a little odd if they hadn't picked up that skill, but I don't see what relevance using or preferring vim could have to, say, teaching functional programmin…

    Keep in mind that a lot of the keyboard features we take for granted weren't always present on early terminals. Navigating is a lot harder if you don't have, say, arrow keys. In th…

    It varies, but it's usually a fair bit higher than that. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healt...

    So is this just heating areas of the brain? If bone isn't transparent to infra-red (I have no idea...), then it has to be, right?

    What do you intend to use it for? Is there a hobbyist application for these?

    I've been using Light Table with the LightTable-Go plugin (I'm one of the contributors). Support is still fairly basic, but for my needs it works pretty well. If you want to try it…
