    I don't think slippery-slope is an appropriate argument to make here, or really anywhere. To answer the UI elements on the bottom, I'm not sure I actually press the Send button at …

    Whatever you do when you build your client, do me one UI favor: Reverse the fields when composing. Body, then subject, then addressees, then the Send button. Think of all the heada…

    I'm finding more and more often that the best way to teach someone about a feature of their own favorite text editor is to threaten to walk them through doing it in vim. Magically,…

    The accomplishment is training myself to run as close to default as possible. I've gotten very accustomed to using NERDTree, for example, but that's because I never really took the…

    More and more I feel like I should wean myself off NERDTree and back onto netrw like a grown-up. It would reduce the number of plugins I use to zero, and that would be an accomplis…

    I use shiftit because I miss awesomewm since my work machine is a Mac now. Shiftit is fantastic.

    19 is too many. I use one: NERDTree, and I bind Leader-n to NERTTreeToggle. It's invaluable to me.

    Looks like he may have done some cleaning. I noticed he doesn't seem to own bitconjurer dot org anymore, maybe this is why?

    McCoy: You know, if we give him the formula, we'll be altering the future. Scotty: Why? how do you know he didn't invent the thing!

    I work exclusively in split windows, vertical and horizontal both, and I don't work without NERD Tree anymore. nnoremap n :NERDTreeToggle I suggest remapping NERDTree's help functi…

    Nice. I've got a minor obsession with alternative ways of displaying the time of day. I've made a canvas clock or two of my own, and I used http://www.let.rug.nl/kleiweg/abclock/ g…

    Reminds of a video I saw of a guy upgrading through every version of Windows. It's a sight to behold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14

    The only Rajni movie I've seen was Endhiran, but it was enough to understand exactly what you mean.

    Reminds me of this: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~pstone/Papers/bib2html/b2hd-trr11.... Looks like he's redesigned his homepage since I got my degree, so I can't immediately find the a…

    I already said the profession wasn't part of the consideration. Asking the child if what the teacher said is true is seen as an affront on the author's character as a person, not a…

    They're not speaking as a teacher, but as a person with integrity, someone who endeavors to tell only the truth, especially in a situation as grave as the discipline of a child und…

    I wonder what this would look like in a two-column view, with one column for discussion, and a smaller margin to the side for metadiscussion. Maybe some kind of mechanism to boot a…

    While I'd like a mechanical solution, I think the best results are probably going to come from human intervention/interaction.

    You might try using sessions instead. In my vimrc, I have this line: nnoremap q :mks! :qall! And in my .bashrc I have this line: alias vv=vim -S Once you have all the files you wan…
