It's possible that the vimium extension for chrome will give you what you want. The 'f' shortcut gives something similar to what you want.

But why won't they just work on a separate branch still sitting against the main git repo? So long as the internet is up it offers the same thing basically.

Functional languages describe the data instead of what you do to the data. This is game changing in perception. Go read Learn Yourself a Haskell.

I have something of a young name which is also uncommon, not many people over 30 with it, when I was young I googled my full name and got only one result, today when I google mysel…

People always say that good typography beats everything but I have yet to see anyone explain typography more than the "use serifs for this and use sans serifs for that".

That's 330 ppi by my calculation. The iphone has the same pixel density and it is very much good. I don't see the reason to push 1080 pixels on my tiny 4.5 or even 5 inch phone.

I've seen a lot of talk about how far Mono has gone in recent times but not much in writing. Do you have anything about the progress that was made? Blog posts, announcements, anecd…

It annoys me that people can't keep their phones in working order, you have paid hundreds of dollars on this piece of equipment and you treat it like a piece of shit and in 6 month…

It's not the amount as much as the lifetime. I live in that ancient belief that you should be able to keep your phone functioning happily for 3 years, which is exactly what happene…

Very neat to find local trends. Try drawing a boom (immediate spike) at some point in time to find something that trended highly back then.

To me that seems a very good idea. Doing security at a place where you don't have to be on guard at all times (something like a receptionist job) means you can work on your product…

To map all human knowledge.

I think he fails to mention the very strong static typing in addition to method signatures. There are no nulls, everything is expected ahead of time, you know what you are going to…
