Nice, great way to organize information. I would add that Orgmode in Emacs is used by many in nearly the same way. Freemind and mindmappers in general are basically just visual out…

Not sure, but I think jury nullification may apply only in criminal cases, essentially because of guarantee that defendant can't be tried more than once for same crime. With obviou…

I think the point is that it's harder to see what line number you want to jump to if you don't have line numbering on. . . .

I'm the main developer of VimOrganizer. I'm sure other people have had this reaction, but it mostly results from not fully understanding what Org-mode is and how it works. Org-mode…

I agree EVIL is pretty good, feels much better to me than Viper/Vimpulse. One issue with any Vim emulation in Emacs is the need to create vim-like keybindings for add-ons, like Org…

Sounds fine, but -- to me -- like many of the other points in the piece, it applies equally both before and after graduation from college. I think a lot of college kids fool themse…

I wish I understood what that sentence is supposed to mean. "Life debt"? It seems to be in code, or shorthand, or jibberish.

The problem is that these people (and others) don't know enough to realize their economic predictions are worthless. There is truth to the old saw, "Economists are good at predicti…

[edit: Not sure why the downvote, since I was just trying to clarify concepts. "Literate programming" was invented and clearly defined by Don Knuth, and it muddies the water to sug…

I think the better systems of literate programming allow you to change code in either place. I.e., you can edit the "literate code", which is "tangled" to create a directly compila…

Where is the link between the graphical analysis (investors as a whole are bad at timing the market) and the subsequent quotes, (e.g., Bogle saying "I do not know anybody who has d…

I wonder if you got things fully figured out. What "verbosity" are you talking about: (1) words in non-source sections or (2) code in source blocks? The code in source blocks is ba…

Please understand I wasn't necessarily defending SOPA as written; I was merely objecting to people who were naively saying, "This is what it says and there is no other way of inter…

thepiratebay.org is one obvious example. Although this would seem to be a foreign site, it is actually a "domestic internet site" and a "U.S. directed site" under the terms of SOPA…

It's impossible to completely avoid ambiguity and vagueness in law. Lawyers don't enact laws, legislators do. And lawyers don't "tolerate ambiguity"; lawyers exist in large part be…

What do you mean by "not particularly limited" in scope? It seems to me the intent of the provision is that more is required to run afoul of the provision, e.g., that a site also b…

I agree. It's unpleasant to see him simply ignore the limiting language. He focuses over half the video on the "enables, or facilitates" clause, spreading the false impression that…

In Vim there are many benefits from having multiple buffers open within the same Vim instance. Buffers share session data of the Vim instance they're in. This has a lot of differen…

"I've been contemplating a rather severe letter in response, but I haven't gotten to it as I don't believe anything I can say to him will be effective." I doubt whether anything yo…

To me the important issue in the 'mimic' thing is that the kid is not a one-in-a-million special kind of genius. (At least you can't tell that from the video.) Instead, he's just a…

I also don't like this, although it's no big deal, and it happens with a few other settings (e.g., 'number'). One way around it is to forget about using the 'set' command entirely …

What's more, you can press to view the whole list of possible completions at one time. For example, enter ':colo ' then press and you'll see a list of all the colorscheme names. (T…

Something like the 'NoSQL' project might be just what you're looking for: http://www.strozzi.it/cgi-bin/CSA/tw7/I/en_US/nosql/Home%20P... This 'NoSQL' has absolutely no similarity …

I'm the author of that clone. I'm making progress, and it's building up to a fairly nice subset of org-mode, but it's not something that would satisfy any truly hardcore org-mode p…

"org-mode developers, in turn, just ask a relevant big question: 'why use separate files when you can conveniently stick the stuff in one file, dammit?'" It surprises me that you c…
