Ec = 1/2 m*v^2 (you forgot the 1/2, I'm just pedantic).

People are sick. When I see people throwing a paper or anything on the floor it really drives me mad. This is the worst act of disrespect for janitors. There are not too many thing…

I prefer to keep using Echap so it works in a terminal with vi keybindings. The visual mode is not mentioned and this is super useful to see what you want to copy / delete. Also ge…

I had to cope with floating points errors being different between compilers, which totally screwed up decompressing with binary produced by compiler A files that had been compresse…

vimtutor was very bare-bone in my memories, and wasn't going through much details on text objects. This was a rather good article, text objects are awesome.

Did you ever work with Flex Builder (now called Flash Builder), or used the AS debugger that comes with it ? Are you familiar with MXML / AS3 ? Because compared to the painful expe…

I hope you're having a great time bashing on Adobe. I think I was flagged as a bad boy once because I was telling bad things on Apple, it's funny I don't think this will ever happe…

I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 11.04 (I think) with a bunch of commands without a problem. Couple of reboot and that was it. God that felt good (all of that on Linode). When I comp…

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about this one ;)

I'm gonna be annoying but if they hadn't put this 5 year old music I might have stayed longer on the page and tried to solve those puzzles. Yeah I could have turned off the volume.…

"Beta"

I noticed a lot of Vim post recently, you can use the vim binding inside your shell too as discussed in that post, downside is that you'll have to type on Esc a lot.

Yeah it's closer to something like Google App Engine if we want to stick to comparing things. I remember enjoying deployment with GAE so it must be the same kind of service. So may…

"Add something at the end of all visually selected lines:" I didn't know about this one, very happy to have read it.

Easter eggs are the best. I just changed team and my first question should have been what is the process to add one :)

I bet the event will be burning man.

:b also takes the buffer id. (reported by :ls). I sometimes write them down on a post-it when I have lots of files to memorize them ... :)

I hope this never happen. Bush, Blackwater ... are not really what make me like the USA, the contrary actually. And having the NSA give its huge power to non governmental third-par…

You indeed missed that no one knows (and care) about Scientific Linux but you and the 3 guys at Cern who makes it.

Funny that this old UNIX approach is coming back. Using that I work (for every windows) and it's nice.

What does commit to your home share means in term of perforce ? cp .cc .h /tmp/backup ?

The first two links gave me a 404 on github...

This is what I want awk to do very often (from python). Anyone know how to do that ? >>> 'foo + bar + baz + buz'.partition('+') ('foo ', '+', ' bar + baz + buz') I think cut does i…
