Here's an article about it from last year: http://www.theawl.com/2013/03/spy-twitter-is-weird-twitte

I automatically see it replaced with "my butt".

I have friends that don't even type URLs anymore, they just type 'youtube' into google every time and click the first result.
Re:Managing Work-In-Progress Folders with “ls -ltr” on Tuesday August 07, 2012 @10:02AM (#4350104)
Not literally. I should clarify.

Using ls -ltr will indeed list files in order of modification time, but when I read 'Managing Work-In-Progress Folders' I think version control.

ls will list your files, but it won't really 'manage' anything.

This is _exactly_ what version control is for.

"...could’ve gotten a job at any tech company in the USA. I was offered ridiculous salaries with signing bonuses of luxury cars. Pretty tempting."

Thank you!

There goes my plan for my Icelandic-themed casino site.

I did this a few months ago:

    imap kj <esc>
I have never had to type a word with the letter combination 'kj' in it. Works great.
Re:Customizing the Mac to behave like Xmonad on Sunday June 03, 2012 @03:19AM (#4060279)
Tyler WM (http://www.tylerwm.com/) shows a lot of promise. It's a pretty good 1.0 but there are some edge cases that still prevent me from using it full time.

Re:VIM Modes Transition Diagram on Friday February 24, 2012 @02:56AM (#3628391)
Definitely don't let this discourage you. I've only been using vim for about six months and I do not know all the commands and modal changes on this diagram.

The great thing about vim is you do not need to know very much to be productive, but every day you learn something new that will make you more productive.

While this is a great reference writing a vim plugin or looking up the behaviour of a specific command, I don't really see it as a learning tool.

Apparently you can use the coupon code BYEBYEGD and save some money transferring to Namecheap.

I use a modified version of molokai: http://winterdom.com/2008/08/molokaiforvim

I like the look of solarized, but in practical use it doesn't have enough contrast for me.

I'm surprised it took them this long. The whole company stinks to high heaven.
I guess I'm too isolated from business jargon, but it took me half this article to realize they weren't talking about a _medical_ incubator.
Re:Does a terabyte of illegal downloads constitute art? on Monday November 28, 2011 @06:19AM (#3285435)
In all scenarios it's still art. Nobody can disprove that. You can, and should, however debate whether it's good art or not.

This strikes me as strange. I'll bet at least half of Ableton's customers use Macs.

It also helps to be a prominent employee and user of a central developer community, with over 800 followers.
