Ask HN: Should I respond to unsolicited recruiting emails?

As I assume many of you do, I get a number of recruiting emails from companies I've never heard of asking if I'm interested in new opportunities and so on. Some of these recruiters appear to be rather persistent - responding to the same thread up to five times without a response from me. If I'm not interested, is it customary to ignore the emails entirely or to send a short "I'm not interested...

Pedantic correction: The term is "eminent domain". In fairness, if someone exercises the power of eminent domain, the domain will imminently be theirs, but that's neither here nor there.

Completely agree. Personally, I'm trying to spread the One True Way of ijkl navigation, but it's slow going...

Speaking as someone with a similar setup, I've never had many issues with plugins assuming the use of hjkl. The only one I can think of offhand that has issues is indent-object.

The thing that really causes issues is my attempt to swap the roles of [ and {, using [] to jump between paragraphs and {} to do fancy function jumping. Vim plugins really don't like that...

Someone else has found the wisdom of ijkl! :D

My setup uses "u" and "o" the same way you use "h" and ";". I also extended it so you can use modifiers on I and K to get page up/page down behavior, or to navigate between indentation levels.

"how2 -l cmd change directory" works for me. "how2 -l cmd enable tab completion" still returns nothing, though; I think that's just a query it can't answer. (A quick manual search returned totally unhelpful results, so I wouldn't blame how2 for that...)

Minor nitpick: I think you mean

   now = datetime.datetime.utcnow # no parentheses
More generally, I think the strongest argument for using "from" is when you're dealing with redundant "foo.foo.bar" names. Would you really be confused at seeing "datetime.utcnow()" instead of "datetime.datetime.utcnow()"?

I will look into that, thank you!

I would like to write something like this for Vim, but I don't know how to easily create animated screencaps like those displayed here. Does anyone know a good tool for that?

I've been using ConEmu [0] for over a year now, and it's miles better than the default console. I actually spend a majority of my time in Windows in the console now.

Re:Rappers, Sorted by Size of Vocabulary on Sunday May 04, 2014 @02:46PM (#7695279)
Sample size is already controlled for. See the second paragraph, immediately before the graphic: "I used each artist’s first 35,000 lyrics. That way, prolific artists, such as Jay-Z, could be compared to newer artists, such as Drake."

The person at the LinkedIn link is Sarvjeet Ahuja. He claims [1] [2] to be a co-founder of Wanelo, and former CTO. I haven't found him mentioned in any documentation from the company, as opposed to just being from him - except one. In the company's CrunchBase profile, he is listed as being a co-founder back in 2009 [3]. I don't know enough about CrunchBase profiles to say whether this should be considered reliable evidence; can someone with more experience confirm?

Additionally, a VC report from 2011 talked about how "both founders have extensive knowledge of the high-tech industry" [4]. Another described Sarvjeet's extensive experience [5].
