Here's the vim colorscheme I use:

I really don't know what to do with this. It's from a Spanish poet, I discovered it in French and got to prefer the Spanish original. I haven't been able to find the English translation.

    DEDICATORIA
    
    Más allá de donde
    aún se esconde la vida, queda
    un reino, queda cultivar
    como un rey su agonía,
    hacer florecer como un reino
    la sucia flor de la agonía:
    yo que todo lo prostituí, aún puedo
    prostituir mi muerte y hacer
    de mi cadáver el último poema.
    
    – Leopoldo María Panero

I can't warp my head around how quick Vega is to rise (ESA's new light launcher). Here's a video from its qualification flight:

So far, everything is going well on the mission but I'm very anxious about the reentry of the IXV.

Did you read the article?

Quote from the article:

"Blood from a patient is drawn through microscopic channels where it then meets chemicals that react with HIV and syphilis antibodies to produce a color change. This can then be picked up by a set of photocells in the dongle, and the results are then sent to an app on the attached smartphone or computer."

I too posted Courbet's painting to Google+ a couple of years ago and it was removed. I contacted Google on the subject but never received an answer.

But it says it's "radical" mate! /sarcasm

Regarding the fact that they relied mostly on other operator's networks, I really don't see that as an issue (passed the initial technical glitches). It's business and as long as they sign agreements (and pay!) with other operators for their infrastructures, there's nothing to complain about. They essentially rent the infrastructure.

Sounds like decent as it is to me. I guess it all depends on your musical culture (not intended as a derogatory remark).

There's the competitive aspect in economies where street-food is the norm but then keep in mind that it's dirt cheap to deliver there. In Thailand a delivery worker earns 220 USD a month.

I usually use `paste` but I sometimes catch myself formatting just-pasted chunks of code. I'll watch out for this.

Nah. I've had terrible and inconsistent results with this. I literally hate this thing so much that I've stopped using it altogether. It's most likely due to me not figuring out exactly what's going on but I can't be helped at this point.

What's ^Home / ^End? If it's moving to the beginning / end of a line there are vi shortcuts for that: ^ and $.

I think you're using the editor's modality wrong.

ESC is not used to exit from Insert mode. ESC is used to switch from any mode back to Command mode. In fact Command mode is also called Normal mode. You should spend 95% of your time in Normal mode and use the other modes when you need them.

I suggest binding `kj` to ESC since it allows you to quickly make a change and continue browsing your code. Take the following session:

* Browse and spot something that needs to be changed

* Type `ci(messages, callbackkj`

* Keep browsing with `hjkl` as you're in Normal mode

While it may seem weird, I've yet to find an occurrence of `kj` in a program in years of using this binding and my hands haven't left the keyboard. The cognitive weight is zero as well (at least after building muscle memory).

Now, I believe it depends on the kind of programmers you are. My coworker is the kind who types in a lot of code and rewrites a lot of stuff. I'm the kind of rewires things and make subtle changes after spending a lot of time reading it. In other words it works well for me but probably wouldn't for him.

And for those who don't get the other joke, "555" is the Thai equivalent of "lol".

Depends. France has the same sort of salary diversity as the USA. Paris vs. Bordeaux are almost two completely different worlds so while you have good engineers in Bordeaux, their price tag is probably about 3 times cheaper than their Paris equivalent.

You certainly know how to choose your battles..

Honestly, BCC is kind of a mistery around here.

Hum wow. So there's at least one guy on the internet trying to make sense. And the pop-software culture thing also had to be coined.

Very informative, thanks.

Well, they put themselves in the same situation as other ROM distributors. They probably mention somewhere that it's illegal to "keep" a ROM unless you actually own the original game and pretend to provide them for the sake of "backup".

Are you saying that YC only invests 11K per company plus 3K per founder?

This is not a serious article at all. There's essentially not content. It deserves downvotes.

Somehow I forgot to mention Elon Musk's Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/elonmusk. Always a good read.

Agreed. I should exercise too.

It's been called off. Next launch window in three days, one minute later than today's window.

I am in fact very surprised it's not available in the US but it looks like you're right:

Opsworks.

The best part of it:

      // you idiots put Rasmus Lerdorf to shame
