Opportunity to name this batshit wasted.
Re:Rss-puppy: A watchdog tool for monitoring RSS feeds on Sunday January 24, 2016 @08:33AM (#10962439)
This looks like it would integrate really well with newsbeuter. Having to refresh my full set of feeds is always what's kept me using a cloud-provided RSS reader.

My guess is that it just opens the door for people who would know how to contribute to that codebase.

The only thing I've noticed is that I can't get italics in the terminal.
Re:Vim Plug – A minimalist Vim plugin manager on Saturday September 13, 2014 @03:17PM (#8313270)
Why have any package manager then?
I strongly encourage everyone to abstain from buying the book or seeing the movie. You're lining Orson Scott Card's bigoted pockets to oppress sexual minorities.
Re:YouCompleteMe - A code-completion engine for Vim on Monday July 08, 2013 @10:14AM (#6006845)
I've been using this for Python development for a few months now and it's by far the best completion solution I've found in vim and I've tried most. Jedi by itself is great but the actual interface to it was always lacking and YCM's fuzzy matching makes it breeze.
Re:Final Term - Terminal Emulator on Monday July 08, 2013 @06:49AM (#6006112)
As far as I was aware, tmux was pretty adamant about not supporting reflow. When did this change?
Economy isn't just the number of boxes out there, it's the number of developers adding value to that economy, and the lower bar to entry means that the more open platforms have that in spades compared to Nintendo's byzantine publishing standards.

I'd be curious as to the consequences of illegal numbers working their way into the block chain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number
Toronto has way more of a handle on homelessness than other parts of Canada in my experience. It's much worse in the neighbouring provincial capitals, Montreal and Winnipeg.

"Larger" view is smaller.
Re:Bootstrap 3 preview on Sunday March 10, 2013 @09:50AM (#5351893)
Segmented dropdown groups are broken for me in chrome. The drop down is floating underneath the button.

Someone actually posting notes with slides! It's a miracle!
Re:Is it worth selling software on Ubuntu Software Centre? on Friday December 28, 2012 @12:42PM (#4978554)
Super Meat Boy, which has over 1M sales across all platforms, has a whopping 77 sales from the Ubuntu Software Centre.
"The study involved 70 French university students"

A sample size that small won't tip the scales on the debate.

But... they do?
Re:The New Grooveshark on Thursday October 18, 2012 @09:33AM (#4668638)
It seems like there's no ordered sorting. I can't say sort my library by track and then by album to you know... play songs in order unless I select a specific album and sort on that. Not especially straightforward.
Re:Live coding (music) with Emacs Live on Friday September 14, 2012 @04:41PM (#4523843)
It's worth noting you can also use vimclojure as a live Overtone environment. (or other slime-y vim methods)
