    I'm glad you're fond of Sublime Text. Personally I'm totally sold on 'Vim' I have lsp through 'YouCompleteMe', which works great for C-languages, and I have Automatic update of tag…

    A cast iron skillet doesn't evolve. The nice thing about Vim is that it evolves to your needs as you configure and reconfigure and tweak as you go along, exploring different itches…

    I have used that for years, but there are downsides to the approach as well. So, you revisit a window, and you want to start from where you left, but now, you might maybe wade thro…

    My problem is that I drink too little, sometimes, I guess I could have "optimized", by taking an evening/night off, and relaxed with a drink. Some "itchiness" in the morning, can b…

    Andrew Koenig, the author of this paper/book, is also co-author of Accellerated C++, which I can whole heartedly recommend. [Addison Wesley ISBN-10: 0-201-70353-X]

    I switch the capslock and the control key, so that I have a fairly standard 101 XT key keyboard layout. I also "flip" the function keys, so that I have to press fn-f12 to increase …

    I don't know about critical thinking in general, or science, but you definetively need some math courses, in order to get the necessary problem solving skills to be able to come up…

    Thanks a lot. :) Well, I can see a couple of books here I wish I had time to read at the moment. I don't mind reading up on a topic in one book, and then later on switching to anot…

    It was really a great post, I haven't ranked any of the points he made. I liked especially the authors point of looking at the timestamps, and the lack of coincidence in stuff, and…
