CtrlP takes care of that. Ctrl+P and then Ctrl+F (cycle to buffers list—you can also map this to anything you want) and it will list buffers with a + next to the buffers with local edits. Ctrl+D and it will change from full path to file name search. You can cycle between buffers, files, mru files and even more (tags, etc.) with extensions.

Hell, yes, you can become a developer at age 26. I'm 50 and I'm doing it, with no problem. I have no college degree (and attended very few classes). Yet I've attained CISSP and CISM certifications in information security. I'm currently learning Ruby on Rails. In the recent past I learned HTML and CSS. At age 26 there is no reason you can not learn new technologies, programming, etc. And, yes, you should be able to find work even if you are _only_ self taught. In fact, I'd say it shows considerable motivation and self-discipline. Caveat: I'm in the US and things may be different here than in the UK.

The outrage over Office's new licensing seems overblown, IMO. Don't most people voluntarily buy a new copy of Office with each PC anyway?

It's hard to buy the vendor lock-in arguments, either, because Office has used proprietary formats from the very beginning.

I don't use Office, though, so maybe I'm missing something.

>Call me old-fashioned, but I like "owning" my software. I like picking and choosing where I can install it and how I use it. And, also call me sensible. I can pay $150 a year for Office 365 Small Business Premium forever and a day or I can use LibreOffice for free forever and use it anyway and anywhere I want.

All that is fine, but I find it curious that SJVN likes Chromebooks a lot, which are the ultimate in forcing people into a rental model. The 100GB of free cloud storage that you get with Chromebooks is only free for two years.

From one of his previous articles:

>When you buy a Chromebook, you don't get just a standalone device with Chrome OS. You get cloud storage, the Google Docs office suite, Gmail, and on and on. In short, for one low price a Chromebook gives you everything you need from a basic computer.

Not just that, but one of this other articles reads like a PR release from CDW and Google. http://www.zdnet.com/cdw-to-offer-enterprise-chromebook-supp...

The only conclusion that I can gather from this is that SJVN likes to toe the anti-Microsoft line, perhaps for pageviews and is willing to dance on either side of the fence for it.

> I can’t help feeling that we might be better just starting over with a totally new spec.

We might be. I've been thinking a lot about this, because this is something we will eventually need to do. It is ridiculous how contrived and complicated it is to develop for the web nowadays. When the web first came out, all you had to know to make a competitive website was HTML and some Perl or PHP. Now it is a fatter HTML(+Haml), along with CSS(+Sass/Less), JavaScript+jQuery+Backbone(+CoffeeScript), Ruby+Ruby on Rails+RSpec/Python+Django, and potentially others, none of which are getting any simpler. It's already become impractical for neophyte developers to learn the ways of the web versus Android/iOS.

The main issue is that we would have to design a successor to the web that is so much better that it's worth jumping ship and obsoleting the huge amount of work put into building the web, and worth the work of creating and maintaining ports for every platform and convincing millions of people and thousands of developers that it's the future, in the midst of a cold war between the open web and walled garden platforms.

I plan on writing a post with my design for such a successor :) This is something more people should be discussing. An open platform can't win if it takes so much contrived knowledge to make an app for it.

LibreOffice isn't as good as MS Office, especially for anything that ever needs to be touched by MS Office, ever. Sure, writer is great (if you don't expect the exact same formatting in Word), but God forbid you need to use the LibreOffice Powerpoint equivalent to do ANYTHING with a Powerpoint created slideshow. Or Calc to edit a large and complex Excel spreadsheet.

Office 2013 has a great look and feel I've really glommed on to. I spend enough time at the computer that I want to enjoy (as much as I can) my time on it. The tools I use matter. If I enjoy using the tools I stay productive longer.

I enjoy using 2013, and I've never been this enthusiastic about a Microsoft product since, well, ever.
I don't know how much emphasis there is on college degrees in the UK, but in the US you can definitely get good work in this industry without formal education.

You have to be willing to put in serious effort to get up to speed. For example, you'll need to spend your free time doing MOOCs and side projects until you have a sufficient amount of knowledge + experience to be attractive to potential employers. Go to meetups, keep up to date by reading.

Also, at first you'll likely need to take jobs with companies that aren't necessarily "sexy," but you can hone your skills and continue with those side projects.

Before long, you'll notice that you can get interviews at better and better companies (better=according to your preferences).

> What functionality are you missing from the free LibreOffice?

I'm not sure if LibreOffice deals with this better than OpenOffice, but being able to open documents with "track changes" enabled, and not having them come out like garbage, would be nice. (I tried finding the specific document in question, but I guess I've erased it since then.)

> are you willing to pay that much just because you're "used to it"?

Depending on how much time it takes you to ramp up to your productivity in a paid version, it might make a lot of sense to pay that much "because you're used to it".
At a minimum, you need two things for a decent Computer Science program:

1. Data Structures

2. Algorithms

Do you mean what I recommend?

For absolute beginners, Starting Strength or Stronglifts is great.

In the book I recommend something similar, but a bit more custom for muscle building. Basically, stick to the big four (deadlifts, squats, bench press and overhead press), throw in some accessory work for lagging bodyparts and problem areas. It'll do wonders.

For more advanced people, same as above, but with more volume and tension training.

I like people to follow this progression when weight training:

Focus on strength first, volume second and tension third. Seems the best recipe for putting on muscle fast.

For me holding it is the point! It's the only way to get the angle exactly right for all 2^32 different slouch positions I move between as I read on the couch.

Maybe co-sleeping is great for some families, maybe not for others. My kids (4 and 2) are impossible to sleep next to, they wriggle and kick and force me to the edge of the bed. In their own rooms they sleep just fine but they are still the primary cause of any bad sleep patterns I have.

I consider both my children to be fairly good sleepers but they still get up at 6am every day no matter what and when one of them is sick, or teething, or just too wired to sleep then multiple wake ups per night are possible, even if they go back to sleep without intervention I still wake up myself.

I could do any number of things to help improve my own sleep patterns but they are all moot until my kids get older.

> What functionality are you missing from the free LibreOffice?

This had been discussed a lot lately. On one hand, for a lot of people Calc is not an alternative to Excel. And while features on Writer and Word can be comparable, a lot of people feel more comfortable using Word (I have experimented this with both general and power users), not to mention that in some platforms is really buggy (I got tired of attempting to make it work on my wife's macbook pro for instance)

It seems that LibreOffice is going under a major refactoring, which is good for the product but I wonder is that effort would result in lack of innovations in the short term.

That is correct and is my point.
LibreOffice is a subpar replacement for Excel (it gets some things right, but can't do stuff like Bloomberg integration)

Using White Space For Readability In HTML And CSS
Based on my experiences with the Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S3, and Note 2, in order: Yes, for at least one major version (this is a little hard to qualify). Yes, but nearly all of it is disableable (there's one app that isn't, but it's small and never runs, so I don't care too much). No, but if I'm buying the phone already, it's a nice extra.

I tend to buy my devices based purely on what they can do now as opposed to that and future support, which I know isn't really common here. If it's a tradeoff between future software improvements (which recently haven't been all that substantial: 4.2 was nothing special, and 4.1 was only slightly better than ICS) and current hardware capabilities (those phones are all reasonably thin and have removable batteries and SD card slots, two things that the Nexus line currently lacks), I'm going with the hardware.
LibreOffice is useful in exclusion, or when no other software programs have to be used with it. When everyone who will consume your work will consume it with the same software.

Otherwise, pony up for Word so you can be on the standard as most business, or don't and just use a free online option like Google Docs. It'll do everything you actually need, anyway.
You are fully entitled to use whatever you want and enjoy it. However, the interface design of Windows 98 is 15 years away from being "modern." The best way you can sell this kind of design is to call it timeless, or say that one shouldn't fix what isn't broken.

2. Difficult to control. Gusts of wind, predatory birds, reliable bandwidth etc.

3. Trivially easy to defend against. Think mosquito nets, burqas and cheap radio jammers.

Looks pretty, but I've come to expect constant churn and regressions from Ubuntu. My desktop is significantly worse than it was 5 years ago.

Still I hold a sliver of hope that I'll be able to write mobile apps in Python one day. (I've heard of kivy, but worried it isn't direct enough).
Missing functionality:

- An intuitive, responsive UI engineered around the most common use cases. It should hopefully eschew dropdowns and modals and instead attempt to provide what I need without any clicks or with only one click.

- No nonsense editing -- too often in LibreOffice I have to crack open the paragraph view (to see all symbols) and go line by line to figure out why a list didn't integrate properly, to re-indent a line that got wonky, to re-apply a setting that shifted. I want it to Just Work(tm) like Office is much closer to accomplishing in 2013.

- Attractive designs that I won't be embarrassed to apply. I can waste a few hours designing a custom theme (a requirement for any themeing in LibreOffice), by why waste the time? I want a simple one click design tool that applies an attractive, professional design. A quick click through LibreOffice colors and designs shows me that I would be mortified to use most of them professionally. They feel like they were done in the 1980's and haven't been updated since.

'Many tens of billions of years from now there'll be a catastrophe.'

Wow.
I agree that "just get out and run" isn't really helpful for training for a marathon. It helps to have a plan and to follow one of the many training plans. For example, you can do 25 mile weeks by running 4 miles a day 7 days a week or by running 3 or 4 days a week with purposefully different workouts (e.g, long run, tempo run, recovery run, etc.) The purposeful workouts are going to give far more bang for your buck.

Also, one long run per week -- building up to 20 miles or so a month before marathon -- is the mainstay of most good marathon training plans. It's foolish to run a marathon without having prepared with some "long runs". And you'd be surprised at how slowly you can run the long runs in order for them to be beneficial. In fact, pushing yourself too hard on them is more likely to do harm than good.

It also helps to look over the various training plans to find out what works, specifically regarding training mileage and training speed. You don't need to do much if any "speed work" for a marathon, certainly not if you're not planning to do at least sub 3:30 or so.

Finally, people should be aware that based on your training runs and a practice 5k,10k, or half-marathon, you should be able to gauge your likely performance in a marathon quite well. This is of paramount importance, because you have to know what you're capable of and pace yourself properly in a marathon. Many first-timers (and many who who have run multiple marathons) run the first 13 miles of marathon way too fast, which is partly understandable because the proper pace feels quite slow and easy in first half of the race. But it has bad consequences. There is a saying that "For each 10 seconds per mile faster than your goal pace during first half of marathon means you'll be running 60 seconds per mile slower than goal pace in second half." Or hit the wall and not finish at all. Even pacing is the key.
