don't mean to nitpick but textmate bundle support doesn't an emacs make.

redcars extensibility and openness make it more like emacs.

There's the decent end of lygon where you can get great italian for cheap prices like tiamo.

then there's the gauntlet of death down the other end. we generally walk the back streets to avoid the spruikers

In wealthier societies, people don't need others as much to get by. They tend to view others first as competition, and then freeloaders, trying to steal their hard earned dollar.

In places where there is less material wealth, people need more cooperation to get by. There's a lot more give for the sake of giving.

I could be wrong though. Thats just my experience.

you mean 192.168.X.X?? 192.0.X.X is a public ip address range

I guess it boils down to what you prefer using. Emacs is my shell, filebrowser, ftp client etc. Having a standard UI for all your text editing is pretty amazing. After all, everything inside a CLI is just text.

I run up an emacs server on startup and use emacs client to connect to it. It gives me the instant on of VI, plus the power of all the plugins and tweaks I've made to my emacs config.

These days, most coders using vim or gvim have a pretty large config setup which takes as long as emacs to startup anyway.

yeah, I think a lot of the frustration with the emacs editing experience comes down to its standard keybindings. While on a level they do make sense, there's far too much cruft and history in them. Having to type multiple keystrokes to do things like save files, switch buffers, split windows etc is pretty poor in this day and age. I used to use vimpulse until I discovered ergo-emacs. It provides a really good set of alt keybindings for the most common emacs commands. Makes using emacs so much nicer

I switched from VIM to emacs. While a lot of the nice things in emacs can eventually be backported into vim, I think the extensibility and apples all/most of the way down approach of emacs is superior. Even after using it for 6 years, I'm continually astounded by the things people do with it.

I've just discovered pabbrev-mode for js and ruby editing. It's off the hook.

Also once you've coded with a repl in an inferior shell buffer, you won't know how you ever did without it

the main reason I don't use js2-mode is that it breaks mumamo mode which I use in nxhtml. That said, it is a pretty amazing mode. I should look into js2-mode for js files and maybe espresso for nxhtml

until java has a var keyword and closures, there is no way you can claim that it's less verbose than languages like ruby or python.

I can't count the amount of time I wasted typing things like

  LongVariableName longVariableName = new LongVariableNameImpl();

as a java programmer. Also the amount of extra typing for creating anonymous inner classes made GUI coding a real chore. Sure your IDE can automate lots of it, but emacs automatically types end for me when I type def so it's not even a consideration.

Your comment comes across as someone who is either trolling or has no real experience in a language outside of java.

For me, the main unpleasantness of reddit lies in the amount of pun threads that show up in the comments on any story. It may have been funny at first, but it just makes it harder and harder to find the actual interesting comments.

however, judging by the number of upvotes they all receive, there's probably hundreds of thousands of people out there who disagree with me, but seriously, a lot of comments on there are like i can haz cheezburger without the cutesy grammer.

No I think it's a problem when women aren't allowed to do anything else.

not a whine, just an observation.

On a level, referring to the role of a mother as a "sex object, baby producer, domestic slave" is pretty flawed

where along the way did we lose respect for women who stay at home to raise a family??

also using hollywood movies as a litmus test is pretty flawed...the modern male hardly comes out unscathed either as they're either bumbling, asshole fathers or will do anything for sex.

not at all. and I'm a heterosexual male.

I think we spend too much time demonizing basic human sexuality, and not enough time accepting and understanding it.

removing all semi naked pictures off magazine covers will not change the fact that people find other people sexually attractive...what it will do is make people feel terrible for having natural feelings.

I say this as a sole male bought up in a feminist household. It took me a long time to realise that looking at the opposite sex was not actually a thought crime.

and yet so few women respect geeks...

people got used to texting on a number pad because there weren't any real alternatives.

the problem 8ten is facing that there are a number of alternatives that require smaller mental leaps to use effectively.

people will probably try 8ten for a few messages, find it frustrating and then switch back to whatever they were using before.

out of curiosity, how do you count 80-100 hours a week? Do you keep timesheets?

100 hours is 14 hours a day, every day.

taking too much on due to technology allowing us to do more, getting stressed with it, not being able to stick to time management system.

I think the author is right about us taking too much on. It seems in this day and age, any extra time that comes from an increase in productivity is immediately filled with another task, which brings with it an increase in stress, and the first things to suffer are your ancillary tasks...like keeping todo lists.

+1 this. I've switched from magit to egg and couldn't be happier. Makes working with git a breeze
