What about writing on a phone? I've been taking a lot of mobile notes and have found it to be a very convenient optimal point between slower, intentional writing vs digital format and accessibility.

From a quick glance it looks like its architected the same as Light Table (Local node server that accesses the file system and a decoupled UI that connects over http and uses WebKit). If it works like that it could run in the browser. Not so easily from anywhere though
well done

One of the best resources I used to build up my vim customizations was probably this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZuy4gBghho. It's got a lot of good stuff in it

This is excellent. I used to occasionally use assertions to accomplish the same thing.

I agree with a lot of your conclusions, but I think there is a lot of value to be found from nerdtree if you use it correctly.

I'm a super heavy Command-T user as well, but when you are working on a sufficiently large project there is just a lot of value you can gain from being able to see the file tree.

Nerdtree is also my favorite way to rename/move/copy files

Re:Ask HN: How/where should I host my personal site? on Monday August 12, 2013 @02:47PM (#6200907)
If its going to be a static site, host it on S3 for pennies. I'm also a fan of Jekyll
Re:Getting started with Clojure on Saturday August 10, 2013 @09:14AM (#6190983)
Clojure is most definitely a Lisp. The biggest difference from more traditional lisps is that it has literals for a wider variety of data structure types. Apart from that, it has every single characteristic that defines a lisp.

> After proper Scheme training (CS61A) Clojure looks awkward and messy but very useful, as it supposed to be due to its "productivity beats clarity/conciseness" philosophy of scripting languages, such as Ruby.

As someone with "proper Scheme training" (CS61A), I've found that Clojure is actually much more clear than Scheme in most cases. The code is less beautiful from a purely visual perspective because there is more syntax, but a lot of complexity gets removed when you add literals for sets, vectors, and maps.

You can get some pretty cool stuff done with firebase. Its not really providing a service though. off the top of my head I've used Disqus, Facebook pages, and all kinds of social buttons
