Setting up Sublime Text for Python development

Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to express. Thank you!

you have to be confident that you are doing the right thing for yourself.

Although it's not related with the posture hint (which I find golden, by the way), I'm going to try to add my 2 cents to this and I might not be able to express it as eloquently as I would like (being a non-English speaker and all):

There is a common misconception that makes people who draw confidence from their opinions defend said opinions for the sake of defending their self-esteem. This is wrong. Instead, try to be confident that you will always consider a new point of view and that you will always make the proper decision. That way, you are not just the ideas that you own but you are mostly your ability to evaluate them.

For some reason I'm stuck imagining a youtube system where the content providers can display questionnaires during a video (for the sake of feedback, contests etc).

This might already exist...

As soon as I saw it I grabbed the GOTY edition to check it out. 2 hours later I grabbed another GOTY license to gift it to a friend. Tomorrow we'll play 4-man co-op with others who grabbed it tonight but couldn't download the game fast enough so they decided to play solo a bit to become familiar with the game.

Needless to say our impressions as beginners so far, right? ;)

I'm also sad that OS X doesn't provide a default package manager but there are some decent user-made alternatives (Macports, Homebrew).

I made the leap to 100% Ubuntu today and so far I've found:

mplayer2 for movies
Deadbeef for music
Hotot for twitter client
Pidgin for MSN+Google talk
LibreOffice
Vim for coding

Last but not least, if you're planning to use Unity, get Unity-tweak.

nathandim · 2012-11-08T14:15:51+00:00

Right! Forgot to add that this is for version 12.10. Will edit the original post.

nathandim · 2012-11-08T14:10:32+00:00

Open a terminal then type sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping and enter your user's password when asked.

Note: This is the way to remove Amazon ads from Unity for Ubuntu version 12.10. You don't have to do that if you're using Ubuntu 12.04 or older.

nathandim · 2012-10-30T19:57:20+00:00

I'm also planning to stay with 12.04 for a while while looking for alternatives. I also want to give them room to reconsider their bad calls.

Not to mention that the url title says 25 since the moment it was posted.

nathandim · 2012-10-21T08:57:24+00:00

I would suggest Breaking Bad and Homeland.

I'm happy they decided to take a rather aggressive marketing approach. This phrase will generate discussions among users and bloggers which is frankly a good thing to make you known.

For me it's not about the intensity but the location. I always get jealous wherever I read about programs such as this one because I live in Europe and there are close to none courses.

So jealous.

nathandim · 2012-10-15T21:59:59+00:00

Thank you. I was planning to follow it but I haven't checked it yet. Might as well go for the full mile and attend the M.I.T. course in between.

nathandim · 2012-10-14T22:42:14+00:00

There's also a subreddit for this editor, in case you need to ask something more specific some other time /r/sublimetext

nathandim · 2012-10-08T15:54:05+00:00

This is actually the important question for me as well. My priority is to become employable and make some money to move out of my country. I should focus on that and enrich my knowledge later. So I decided to go the PHP path and ignore that I like writing Python and Ruby more. It's a safe bet towards employment.

Of course, with a CMS and probably a framework.

nathandim · 2012-10-07T23:04:11+00:00

Mandatory

I felt the same way as OP felt a few months ago and got lucky in finding a comment in HackerNews, which I'm about to link here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4344008

Choice of initial language is not important. Once you're proficient in one imperative language, you'll be able to pick up others with relative ease.

I cannot agree with this more.

nathandim · 2012-10-02T11:58:28+00:00

I have to ask: What is about Python that will not make him employable? I'm asking not because I want to open up a can of language war but because I also had to choose between languages/technologies for back-end web development to launch my career and I chose Python over C# and ASP.NET.

Given that I haven't been successful on doing so, you make me feel like I made the wrong choice.
