Just played through it -- mind blown.
I personally run Sublime Text and an IDE at the same time (for static languages). I use Sublime Text for the majority of text editing and whip out the IDE when I want to explore an API. The IDE is also good for debugging and heck, it gives you a build system for free.
Re:Your most important skill: Empathy on Sunday January 19, 2014 @06:29PM (#7086590)
I think that being a sociopath and practicing empathy are not mutually exclusive (although I understand that in your case or most cases, empathy probably drives away the sociopathic tendencies). From what I understand, empathy is merely the notion of understanding perspectives other than your own. A sociopath who holds contempt toward a point of view could possibly benefit herself by practicing empathy. Empathy just another means of obtaining information about the world around you.

My point is obfuscated by the fact in many contexts the word "empathy" and "empath" are intended to involve not only the person practicing empathy, but also the interaction with the person to be understood.

What it boils down to is that you can understand what people are feeling and still decide to disregard them.

Re:Unnoficial design concept for Windows 9 on Wednesday October 02, 2013 @06:57PM (#6485999)
My one complaint about Windows 8 is that I can't use Win+# to switch to the fullscreen apps. I wouldn't even mind the fact that they took up the entire screen if I was able to navigate to and from them with ease. The way to navigate between the full screen apps is with Win+tab which forces me to use two paradigms for task switching. I'm sure this irks alt-tabbers as well.
