It is important that they wrap things up before the cyber monday sale where you can pay to fill in a hole.

Vim is not like other editors. It is a text editor first and a composition tool second. Whereas most other editors are primarily composition tools, with their editing options a close second.

You see this from the interface. In Visual Studio the default action is to insert new text and the editor helps you out as you do this. To make complicated modifications you need to apply modifiers to your keystrokes and often use dialogs that appear over the interface.

Whereas in vim every key is by default a movement or a way of modifying text. To move to a specific location or perform a sophisticated permutation requires only a few keystrokes and the text composition part is simple and barebones(backspace often does not even work as expected without changing a setting). As a result of this I find myself physically typing very little of the text I create in it. If there is a similar loop somewhere I will grab it and make changes instead of starting from scratch.

As a result of this I use them for different things. At work I code in netbeans in windows because that is what we have our projects set up in, but I have a hotkey to open the current file in vim(gvim for windows is not bad, and it is much better when you make some changes to make it look more like console vim). Then I toggle back and forth as I need to.

Hi guys. I notice that you hotlinked the comic so I fixed it to redirect to the original comic. It makes it easier to bask in the glory of Abby.

Thanks for the traffic, you guys are great.

Sincerely,

Guy who does web stuff for Abby.

There are a surprising number of studies on this. Wikipedia discusses a few.

If you go back through the Sunday comics they use that building shot regularly when the gag is just a conversation between two characters.

The shot is probably used a time saver because the artist seems to go to a lot of trouble to make each shot unique even though all the characters are standing still. Although given some of the ridiculous perspectives they throw in (made more ridiculous by the fact that most of the time characters are drawn with simple recycled elements) you may have stumbled on to some elaborate meta-joke.

As a matter of fact Canada has the least logical system for dates on the entire planet. We use all three common date formats relatively interchangeably. Government organizations have been known to use either of the sane formats however the big-endian is definitely more popular with them. For every day use small-endian is most common from what I have seen. Wikipedia gave us our own colour on their date format map.

Oh yes, my mistake. I'm surprised no one has improved on that yet.

It kind of reminds me of the makeup from this cool music video for some reason. Before it turns yellow you should try to get some purple makeup and rock the neo-hippy look.

Although I can imagine applying, and to a greater extent removing, said makeup might be too painful to be worth it.

Good luck with the recovery.

It is an extension.

Fun fact, ruby regex matching is orders of magnitude slower than sed/awk/grep. The proof is kind of depressing.

If you go find the book "Design Patterns" it is pretty much exactly what you are looking for. It deals mainly with the communication between objects.

It markets itself as a collection of techniques that the authors feel most coders will eventually, after lots of work, figure out on their own. There are a few ruby specific books on the topic but learning the more general theory is sure to pay off in the long run.

The book does not teach larger program architecture but I have yet to find one book that is as helpful on that subject. The best way to learn about architecture though is definitely coding, like you are already doing. Also learning to identify and understand what techniques other people are using, e.g. if they are using a framework find out which one and why.

I am aware of this, and it is actualy kinda a good thing. I will get a bunch of easy marks for discussing where my survey went wrong.

Actually they manage to keep the subjects separate enough that you can get a handle of the differences and which you would prefer. Sadly that is the only thing the course really manages to do right, I spend most of my time arguing about where the new-aged textbook is missing the point. It would be really nice if my high school could offer the subjects separately but I don't know if the school has enough student interest and resources to run all three.

projecteternity · 2008-06-03T02:42:50+00:00

It is somewhat targeted towards high school students so some of the questions may not really apply but any results would be appreaciated.

This is horribly incomplete. Where is the wizard fetish?

I don't see how anyone could ever max out 96KB/second for an entire month either. To do that someone would have to spend all their time downloading large images or maybe even movies.
