Vim plugin?
Plain curl unfortunately doesn't cut it because that misses .vim, which contains all the goods (plugins etc.).

But yes, in essence that's what I'm doing right now, just instead of curl I rsync the entire dotvim and then run 'vim -u' (plus a few other vars).

It gets the job done (usually), but it's an extra-hoop that I wish I wouldn't have to take. More than once I've had the alias that I setup with the pastie fail for one reason or another, which then sets me back a couple minutes, torn between fixing it yet again or just moving on with plain vim.
The CS department I was in (at a small liberal arts college) often used either textbooks written by one of the professors or previous editions.

The use of previous editions was great. It's not like discrete math changes that much anyways so using a copy we could get off Amazon for $1.70 was a great help compared to departments asking us to spend $80-200 on a brand new book.

Several professors also wrote their own books and just tossed the PDF on their website. One professor wrote a book on Scala for intro to CS classes, another on numerical calculus, a third (no longer in use) on Java and OOP for freshman.

I'm sure this isn't the only CS department in the world with this tradition but it's one that works very well. While you certainly run in to the issue of bad professors forcing subpar work on students, if you've got profs you can trust with the job the results, IME, can be quite good and better than commercially available texts.

I'm pretty sure the right to bear arms does not give the people the legal right to violently overthrow the government, which appears to be what you are suggesting.

If it reaches that point, I don't think we're going to be worrying about what the current government considers "legal" or not.
When you strip away years of familiarity and conditioning to accept the standard box model, it's hard not to conclude that it's completely unintuitive and back-asswards!
As far as I know, there is no mention of sovereign immunity in the constitution itself. It seems like it's one of those legal traditions that get passed down (like how parts the United States' legal system come from British Common Law).

In fact, I don't think there's even a law that says the US has sovereign immunity, it's one of those things that just is.
I wonder how the $20 theory of the universe has changed over time due to inflation. Was the $5 bill the equivalent two generations ago? Will a $50 be the next generation's? Also, I've noticed that very few things I purchase day-to-day fall between $15 and $20, and I've oft wondered why. And while we're at it, have you noticed how few $10 bills you see in the wild?

I don't know of any, to be honest. However, Closure Library is really just part of the equation. It becomes much more powerful when used with all of the Closure Tools.

I have tried the closure tools for my own internal uses and while I don't particularly expect myself using it for all my projects, it definitely shines on bigger projects. It is a pretty good set of tools.

I completely agree. In college, my first set of Linear Algebra courses were taught by the Math department and were completely algebra based.
Later on, taking the engineering LA courses where they stressed the geometry of all the operations really cemented the concepts and simplicity of LA into my mind.
vim already supports things other than vimscript (e.g. perl, ruby, python). Depends on what your OS packages provide, or compile it yourself (really not too hard).

I don't know how the syntax highlighting could be better since it is already fully scriptable and allows 256 colors, etc.

So what is it that needs to be done? All I get from this is that you think vim should have "better graphics like what Sublime 2 has". So I ask sincerely: what is the actual essential functionality required and why would it demand a 'new VI' rather than a patch or plugin?

If you can formulate what is needed more specifically then it's more likely that you can fix it yourself or at least have a chance of enlisting someone else to do it.

Yes, see my reply above.

This works to a degree but misses all the plugins, thus currently I'm using rsync - basically pasting a giant blob that turns 'vim' into an alias that first rsyncs and then runs 'vim -u'.

The point is that I have to remember pasting that blob, sometimes the blob fails, etc.

I'll be the first to admit that this is pretty much a Maserati-Problem. Still, keeps crossing my mind...

I don't think the main problem with operator overloading is "abuse"; I think it's that there's absolutely no way to know what a given clause of code might mean, even if the overloading has been defined by excellent coders.

"Success" should be more than just getting funded, it should be following through with the project.

I could "kickstart" a trip to the moon with no engineering knowledge, and a budget of $5000, and by this metric I would be "successful". Probably within an hour if I properly attached the ideas of unseating a major tech company, and using android to do it. Also video games.

That doesn't mean I went to the moon. It means I successfully got $5000 out of people.

Perhaps not...
I disagree. I think there are more capable 15 year-olds than others and it's not a comprehensive indicator, but brain development is not complete at that age and therefore having an adequate attention span to competently time keep is arguably more difficult to secure from a 15 year old than a 25 year old.
> They used "built" in the sense of being a primary, essential contributor.

Do they really? What I hear is them complaining that every cent they are taxed is the government taking "their money". If they were willing to acknowledge that they are the primary, not sole, contributor, wouldn't they acknowledge that some part of their income is not an imposition by the government, but rather a collection of something the government is entitled to in the first place by virtue of its contribution?

Parsing C++ isn't required if all you are doing is syntax coloring.

vim has a fully configurable syntax highlighting system; its behavior is not hard-coded. So if you have a problem with how C++ is highlighted then you don't need to petition for the developers to patch or rewrite vim for you.

You can tweak the related configuration. And it's true that it's really not that hard to make your own new configuration to do this. Because you aren't compiling the code, you are only highlighting it according to your own tastes.
It's a matter of preference too. Do you think Richard Pettibon's stuff would like nice in grey? I don't think so!
The subsidies you received and I received are the ambient subsidies we all have access to. The point you are not acknowledging is that some people take those subsidies and create additional value and improvements to the quality of life for those around them and others take additional subsidies on top of that ambient level of subsidization and at best create no additional value and at worst create a lower quality of life for others. It's not a tiny demographic, it's double digit percentages of the population, at least 1 out of 5 people and maybe more.

We need to enable and reward the creators and punish the consumers. Our society is currently set up in the reverse manner.
Ha! Fair enough!
I'll concur that talk of moochers and me-firsters is bullpucky.

But, the danger I'm concerned with (and the reason for me going on and on about the relationship of entrepreneurship and subsidized infrastructure) is that the "you didn't build that" rhetoric, even though it falsely characterizes the relationship, is being used to justify the confiscation of my personal treasure for their infrastructure projects. That rhetoric is telling me that I need their infrastructure for business success while in reality their infrastructure needs me in order to exist.

An alternative to subsidized infrastructure is private infrastructure. For example, my great-grandfather was a self-taught engineer who built a small Pennsylvanian town's first sewer and water system. He literally designed and built the water pumps and clay pipe molds and other technologies himself and he and his employees laid the lines and hooked-up customers themselves. The town council later bought him out and turned it into a public utility they fund to this day through taxes. (I imagine it was an easy sell. "Guten tag! We have water inside the house now. Do you want that too?" "Yes! How much will you charge me?" "Not much, but I will need to bury some pipes through your yard.")

Note: And when I say self-taught I am being quite literal. His parents were immigrants from Germany and he learned to read from the Bible at home. He bought books on advanced mathematics and engineering principles from his savings as a farm-hand on his uncle's cattle farm. I have a few of them that were passed-down. One of his inch-thick pocket books on engineering from 1890 covers the same material that about half of my college courses did. I wish I had gotten it before University because it makes me highly suspicious of the quality and necessity of modern education. But, that's another topic.
"work for you" might not be the right message, as that is what IDEs are known for.

I'd say that vim makes you faster. It's like talking with your close friend vs talking with a stranger. You understand each other better and can speak very quickly. High bandwidth communication maybe?
Yeah, the only things I _really_ miss on that are ctrl-i and ctrl-o.

The IDC report says that Samsung shipped 2.3 million units. Once again, an idiot tech blogger is unable to comprehend the distinction between "shipped" and "sold".

Any company can ship a few million units, given a sufficiently large supply chain and capital reserve. They've only been sold if a customer has bought one, and held it through the refund period.
What would be incredibly useful to me is a 'follow-through' indicator for the funded projects. When I read the link I thought 'success' was going to be "funded and delivered on promises".

It would clearly take a lot more work to track, but I could see a Politifact promise-o-meter style 'Delivery Status' with simple indicators like 'In Progress', 'Failed', 'Partial', 'Late', and 'Delivered' or similar.

Also for the funding side, having simple counts on each category and % funded for a given filter would be very informative.

Excellent and clear presentation overall though, very useful as it stands!

Agreed, my number one gripe with spreadsheets as development trackers is that you can't have a discussion around a task.

As a product manager I might write something down and it makes perfect sense to me but not the developer. Hence there needs to be a place for a discussion.

While a spreadsheet might feel simple, I'm argue that there are other simple solutions (PivotalTracker) that get this thing "right"; even for a team of one.
This is definitely one of the better (and more accurate) articles on the subject. I have been doing business in China and definitely see his view - it's easy to see why most of China's elite send their children abroad. I wouldn't live there for an extended period.

I'd say their education system (and society) tends to hammer the creativity out of people. I see strong evidence that who think differently are ridiculed. Only the strongest personalities could withstand this, and it is obvious that they often leave for greener pastures. Nurturing the free thinkers is not easy.

Superpower & housing bubble aside, first they have to figure out things like why having seatbelts in cars is important - that the individual is in fact valuable.

As an emacs user, I'm pretty happy to mostly not have this problem.

All of the command-line apps I depend on either use GNU readline (which has flawless emacs style editing) or can be hacked to do so with the rlwrap utility. Furthermore since many of the NeXTSTEP hackers were also emacs users, OSX text input widgets inherited very solid (although the kill ring is lacking) keyboard binding support which makes it possible for me to comfortably emacs-style edit in native OSX apps.

Sometimes though stupid rich text input boxes used by wikis can annoyingly rebind emacs keys, and then I fly into a fit of rage like the author described. Luckily there is 'It's all text!' under Firefox or 'Edit with Emacs' on Chrome that lets you use an external editor to edit the contents of any web text widget, which I use to do all my wiki editing.
> Two years ago, a heavy bout of coding gave me some wicked wrist problems, and an ergo expert recommended I switch to vim.

That is not an ergo expert. An ergo expert would tell you to stop typing with your wrists bent and resting them on your desk or keyboard “wrist pad” or whatever nonsense. Your hands should hover over the keyboard. I have never, ever had wrist pain and I type _a lot_. I'm not an ergo expert, I just type with proper form as recommended in any credible health & safety or posture guide.
No, it implies that most of the accounts where it is an issue (i.e. root and the app-account) are used by multiple people with potentially conflicting vim-preferences. There are elaborate hacks around that (i.e. identifying users by their ssh-keys) and we actually have one deployed for the app-account. But there are various scenarios where that occasionally fails (e.g. hopping through a bastion host).

And more generally this is an instance of bootstrap-dilemma: When are you most likely to ssh into a host directly? When something is wrong with that host, presumably with the automated bootstrap. :)
There is no reason to use xsel. try "+p or "* p
to pull into the clipboard, try "+y or "* y
(edit: the spaces are just me trying to escape the asterisks for HN)

You can also easily configure vim so that simple 'y' and 'p' will operate using the system clipboard, which I do.

You don't have to spawn and close vim around each task either.

Of course vim has no way at all to reduce the amount of ctrl-a, ctrl-c, ctrl-f, ctrl-a, ctrl-v boilerplate you are doing in this example because that all occurs in some other program.
