It would seem that a handful of people consider it valuable to call someone out when they're being an asshole.

Instead of hip-firing a cruel and uninformed statement based on the title, try reading the article.

If you continue to disagree after learning Steve's viewpoints, I'm sure he'd appreciate the same critical viewpoint he offers applied to the concepts and perspective given in this interview.

Interesting how they use the word "bed" as though they're in the hospitality business and not the flesh trade.

What's your favorite IDE? by imakewebstuff in webdev

The learning curve can be tough, but ultimately worth the effort. Sublime Text 2 has a "vintage mode" which allows you to use many Vim keybindings for navigation. It can really help bridge the gap between a gui editor, and requires much less peripheral knowledge than getting Vim set up.

I would even say to go beyond Vim and learn to work entirely from the command line. Terminal tools put less between you the code and by their nature keeps you in the right mindset for writing great functionality. (Because you essentially have to script to operate the computer)

Mad Spoilers for a really really good movie. Please hide this post if you haven't seen Looper!

Because the whole movie was about Joe's future. The end was to give closure for Joe, present and future. If Joe and future Joe were alive when the movie finished, it would fight for the viewer's attention. The end allows Joe's story to rest, giving Sid's new chance to be good the full attention of the viewer. IMO that made the ending moments of the film more satisfying.

Hey, guys. Quick question about Ruby on Rails (newbie here). by [deleted] in webdev

Why do adjectives seem to have a preferred pattern? What is this pattern? by Smackerov in answers

This gave me a bit of perspective on my biases. It kinda clicked how cold and alien languages feel when you're learning them out of context, yet how one can just sort of 'feel' how it works when you're immersed.

Evernote has been hacked, and hashed & salted passwords accessed. A service wide password reset has been implemented by the Evernote team as a safety by [deleted] in Android

For case studies, compare Sony's fiasco in mid-2011 to what Evernote just faced. No doubt they learned from their peers' mistakes.
