they probably found the place where windows stores the passwords. All 8 character passwords under the unsalted scheme (NTLM) used by Microsoft can be cracked within minutes via use of rainbow tables. Even easier if LANMAN passwords are enabled.

i think really what he wants to say is to drill the fundamentals. getting the basics right is important.

don't do stupid shit means nothing. why would anyone want to do stupid shit? This kind of the same meaningless wording that everyone thinks applies to them in horoscopes how many times have you read "doesn't suffer fools gladly"?

It hasn't changed much. some syntactic sugar and influence from functional languages has helped C# but the IDE is not as good as eclipse IMO. You can however add a lot of the refactorings and features from eclipse by using jetbrains ReSharper. (I believe they also make a Java IDE too).

Looks really good (haven't tried it yet though). The concept is great. I'd like to see some TextMate/CommandT style functionality for file and path completion (I've been thinking cd'ing around in shells has been cumbersome ever since trying commandT).

Some other inspiration could be taken from zsh autocomplete.

I agree somewhat (although I do feel that debuggers are useful) in that IDEs can influence the design of your program by encouraging a debug first development style similar to "programming by coincidence"

There is no reason you can't use both. I tend to structure my projects using an IDE but do most of my text editing in vim.

Nothing beats vim for grunting through a pile of code that needs cleaning up. Just set up your IDE and vim to autoload when it detects changes.

My workflow generally goes Edit in vim -> check IDE for syntax errors -> Run/Debug -> repeat.

I would totally use this. I buy clothing online all the time and have had great success but I do tend to stick to big name brands (birkenstock, levis, converse, ben sherman) that have easy to use size charts online or I have bought in shops before anyway.

If they had a way of matching your favourite clothes to others and making recommendations based on style and fit I think it could be great.

sometimes its hard to know what you need to look up in help to reach your solution though (I mean before you know the general vim subsystem you need).

between (book)mark a and b find fred then search the line and replace any occurrence of dick with joe with a confirmation. there a couple of modifiers on there I don't know but I think that's pretty much it.

I've posted this before, but i found the best way to learn some vim is by example. you soon get the idea.

I've found it quite an efficient editor with MacVim+Ruby and Jamis Buck's FuzzyFinder TextMate.

honesty is always the best policy, but how you present your honesty can be the deciding factor in whether your ideas are taken on board.

i enjoyed influence by cialdini, it helped a lot in getting my ideas across in my job.

I like the economist but find the density of information in there is overwhelming (I can't seem to find the time to read the whole thing in a week). Additionally, I feel the stories hold more importance than from other news sources.

they are lazy, and that is why they work hard to engineer the best solution so that in the future they won't have to do so much maintenance to the system and scope changes and future additions will be easier.
