don't mean to nitpick but textmate bundle support doesn't an emacs make. redcars extensibility and openness make it more like emacs.

There's the decent end of lygon where you can get great italian for cheap prices like tiamo. then there's the gauntlet of death down the other end. we generally walk the back stree…

In wealthier societies, people don't need others as much to get by. They tend to view others first as competition, and then freeloaders, trying to steal their hard earned dollar. I…

you mean 192.168.X.X?? 192.0.X.X is a public ip address range

I guess it boils down to what you prefer using. Emacs is my shell, filebrowser, ftp client etc. Having a standard UI for all your text editing is pretty amazing. After all, everyth…

yeah, I think a lot of the frustration with the emacs editing experience comes down to its standard keybindings. While on a level they do make sense, there's far too much cruft and…

I switched from VIM to emacs. While a lot of the nice things in emacs can eventually be backported into vim, I think the extensibility and apples all/most of the way down approach …

the main reason I don't use js2-mode is that it breaks mumamo mode which I use in nxhtml. That said, it is a pretty amazing mode. I should look into js2-mode for js files and maybe…

until java has a var keyword and closures, there is no way you can claim that it's less verbose than languages like ruby or python. I can't count the amount of time I wasted typing…

For me, the main unpleasantness of reddit lies in the amount of pun threads that show up in the comments on any story. It may have been funny at first, but it just makes it harder …

No I think it's a problem when women aren't allowed to do anything else.

not a whine, just an observation.

On a level, referring to the role of a mother as a "sex object, baby producer, domestic slave" is pretty flawed where along the way did we lose respect for women who stay at home t…

not at all. and I'm a heterosexual male. I think we spend too much time demonizing basic human sexuality, and not enough time accepting and understanding it. removing all semi nake…

and yet so few women respect geeks...

people got used to texting on a number pad because there weren't any real alternatives. the problem 8ten is facing that there are a number of alternatives that require smaller ment…

out of curiosity, how do you count 80-100 hours a week? Do you keep timesheets? 100 hours is 14 hours a day, every day.

taking too much on due to technology allowing us to do more, getting stressed with it, not being able to stick to time management system.

I think the author is right about us taking too much on. It seems in this day and age, any extra time that comes from an increase in productivity is immediately filled with another…

+1 this. I've switched from magit to egg and couldn't be happier. Makes working with git a breeze

I'm doing some Blackberry dev at the moment for an internal app, not a pleasant experience. Have a read of http://versatilemonkey.com/story.html for a really good in depth look at …

I'd think it also has to do with battery life. Especially with long running apps.

Thinking in terms of "add feature X" is not breaking it down enough. No feature is an atomic piece of code...if it was, "add feature X" would be enough to implement it and you woul…

What is causing your feeling of wasted potential? Why do you feel your potential needs to be fulfilled anymore than anyone else's? Why make yourself so unhappy because you haven't …

Ya I think it's a bit of the dunning-kruger effect at work. He's been using the editor for 2 weeks and can see what it needs more than people who have been using it for years.
