"Most ambitions are either achieved or abandoned; either way, they belong to the past. The future, instead of the ladder toward the goals of life, flattens out into a perpetual pre…

this.

a lot of good points but i feel like one of the biggest i've learned is missing... leaning toward functional techniques has probably had the biggest impact on my productivity in th…

thats like the entire jamband scene which been around since the 60s... the grateful dead, phish, kind gizzard and the lizard wizard... one could also mention the electronic scene i…

i've worn my 13oz raw denim everyday for 2 years and they still look new and are incredibly soft. the only tares are along the cuff where i folded them and where my buckle corner r…

just let it go and move on... don't let the negative energy eat you up, it's just not worth it. i was screwed out of over 6 months of pay north of $50k. i wasn't keep tabs on the p…

to prove you are elite, what do these mean: f00, BAR, SLOW, ABS, NB, TF, SLM ;P

most functional techniques wrap walking a loop into a few functions, like fold. writing loop constructs can be error prone. one is much less liable to make a mistake passing in an …

the difference is using tools vs building your own tools when you need to. the idea of these algorithms is not to memorize them but to understand how they are build and what goals …

seems weird to me that one would want to do any of these things inside vim... though it should be possible with the right plugins... but why? just use a window manager like screen …

would definitely agree. i find tmux + vim does almost everything i need. granted i don't try to script anything myself. generally there are command line tools or vim plugins that d…

if you enjoy functional programming and are looking for a utility library, ramda has been a joy. very very well thought out. being able to compose functions together and treat data…

let them cheat. every assignment let them know that in the end they are only hurting themselves. the ones that want to learn, won't cheat. simple as that. and that ones that cheat …

yes, hiccup. small stuff is fine but when working with real apps and 100s of lines of html that make up pages... no thanks.

absolutely love clojure and all that it's taught me. i even ported many of the core functions to python so i could continue using them. but not a fan at all of writing html in cloj…

can't say i'm a fan of the decorator to implement functional concepts. jut feels dirty. type hints in python are just as meh. feels like it's not taking advantage of pythons duck t…

thats correct. its now $70 for new customers.

funny, comcast tried to do the same thing in longmont, CO and lost. we've had fiber unlimited 1gb up/down for $50 (i think $70 for new customers now) w/ no contract for over 3 year…

> Because you won't care, you'll just make the thing for your enjoyment. bingo. that is the lesson to be learned. it's all about the journey, not the destination. it really matters…

i've wondered the same thing about the overhead. the argument given to me by some friends in non-profits is that raising money is an art and they have to compete with profit compan…

totally agreed. the best way to learn vim is slowly. teach your self one thing a day and use it all day. if you keep using it great, if not move on to the next thing. otherwise you…

wow thats the biggest cop out i've ever heard. quality 100% matters, if not even more. shipping crap code still makes it crap and it will come to bite you in the end. libfreetype i…

can't say i'm a fan... i found the best way to learn to use vim is to force yourself to use it in an everyday environment. that means at work, where you need to get stuff done. and…

i think the only unfortunate thing about this story is the lack of experiencing life on old pcs. the kiddo has definitely mastered video games and learned a whole bunch doing it bu…
