Re:Kwm, tiling window manager for OS X on Tuesday December 22, 2015 @09:11PM (#10781624)
I have been looking and hoping for something OS X like allSnap [1] for Windows where window sizing management isn't set up at prefixed sizes, but simply allows you to resize Windows as normal but they will snap to the sides of other Windows or screen edges. This allows you to nicely line up all your window edges with each other with little effort.

W1CEG checking in! I haven't been as active as I used to be since I have two little ones that take up more of my time.

I guess I'll also take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the software WU2X and I developed (although not under active development for a few reasons (one being what I mentioned above)). I mention it mostly, because some of you may find it interesting and worth looking at. It allows using PowerSDR with some traditional (non-SDR) radios: http://www.wu2x.com/sdr.html

Re:Joe's Own Editor 4.0 Released on Sunday March 22, 2015 @09:54PM (#9249089)
Similar story for me. I pretty much started with joe on Slackware and later switched to jed as my main editor where I learned and wrote a lot of C and C++ through college. Of course there was always a sprinkle of vi in there for systems that just didn't have other options.

Earlier in my professional career, I resisted IDE's in favor of a customized nedit. I have since moved on to Eclipse, WebStorm and Sublime Text.

I do have fond memories of coding with joe and jed on VT terminals, though.

Re:Why We Chose Ember.js on Sunday March 22, 2015 @04:25PM (#9248084)
We're at a time where choosing AngularJS for a new large project would be a difficult choice. AngularJS is about to see 2.0 which is a complete redesign. Do you choose to use 1.x which will eventually be deprecated for a brand new project, or do you choose to pick up the new 2.0 which no longer supports IE9? The timing is just not quite good for AngularJS, right now.
This article makes no sense. I would never expect a watch to run a web browser. Websites are not designed for such a small size, and I would never expect them to be. It's silly to think it makes sense for a watch.

Seems kind of pointless if it is ignoring up-votes.
