I'm friends with the person who made emacs.sexy, and that no doubt was an influence. He loves emacs & wants to share it with the world (while vim.sexy clearly has a big element of parody to it).
I'd forgotten about the awesome tron legacy article he linked until I saw this.
"Dudebro startups like yours get shit from angry feminists all the time. Using Vim will put a stop to that. Vim donates money to children living in Uganda. You'll look so accepting and humanitarian just by using Vim ... Don't get me wrong: I know you don't actually care about human rights and social issues. All that matters is that you look like you care."
A sexual fetish may be regarded as an enhancing element to a romantic/sexual relationship [...] or as a mental disorder/disorder of sexual preference if it causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life.
As there is zero real use for these TLDs, I'd be very pleased if Google and other software makers penalize them. If we're just going to do away with TLDs, might as well do it right and just open up a simple global registry so anyone can register ".<whatever>" -- versus blessing a few silly strings (.christmas, .bargains... .museum .aero).
Wrong. Saves time. Gets rid of silly names and allows small businesses to have good tlds. Like Manhattan.bike, which a friend of mine bought for his bike store.
I'm not sure how "Manhattan.bike" is any better than ManhattanBike.com. Or Bike.nyc. Or any other possible similar combination. It's like people think they're gonna bring the Real Name dream back to life.
My config is the repo vdm linked. Minimap "works" in that it can be opened, but terminals don't allow for variable font sizes or images, so it is significantly less useful.
My poor neck. The GNU-project really should get to work on creating software capable of rotating images. Hopefully we will get to it just as soon as the Hurd is finished.
Ha! "Hundreds of thousands of babies are born every day. While the whole phenomenon is menacing, one of them by itself is not newsworthy." I wish Stallman were a more negative person, he's a hell of a lot funnier when he's being scathing.
For those wishing to dive into emacs with a limited learning curve while keeping the config in their control, I think I have a good starting point here: https://github.com/pyr/dot.emacs
Forget the fact that you can check your email, browse the internet, run a shell from inside email. In Notepad++ you need to take your hands off the main keyboard and use the arrow keys if you want to move around. In emacs you use C-n C-p C-b C-f. That is enough reason to not use Notepad++
Not that I don't take my hands of the keyboard, but what do you really NEED to use the mouse for? You can use the KB to hit any item in the menus, there are tons of shortcuts, and the point and click menus are mostly related to configuration and settings, though those are technically mostly accessible via KB too.
I personally use Sublime Text when I'm not using VS2013/R# these days though.
Really? You'd use multiple key combination to navigate instead of a simple arrow key? Strange. So if you have to move forward by many points do you keep pressing both c and f keys? I find that an uncomfortable key combination ...
And why would you want to check email and browse internet in a Text Editor? Funny.
believe it or not, 'jk' is actually faster as you don't wait for the 'j' key to travel back up. You get so used to it though, you get upset when it's not there by default. I find it's one of the first things I do when I open vim on another machine.
ot: now we see the great fruits of the iana going completely berserk. nobody fucking needs such tld. it doesn't help anybody but only makes money for some.
Since I'm an adult, I' wont reply to this by saying: "emacs has more likely fucked you over."
OS X is on the other hand sexy, since you can build emacs-keybindings into the OS and every app that uses the Cocoa Text System, you can even get an "extra clipboard" with the kill-ring.
As for programming, when it is more convenient with an editor as the "control-center" for the endeavour, or real small things that makes a simple editor feasible, then I must say I prefer Vim.
Um. It counts. There are elisp packages specifically for this after all. Other humans can even participate via the networked paired programming packages.
Guys, you really have a problem if you find a piece of software sexy... I absolutely love software, software development, and everything about it, but WOMEN are sexy, NOT software!
Please don't degrade women with phrases like this!
If you mean it using the literal definition of sexy then yes. That might be an issue. But I don't think they mean literally sexy (as in sexually attractive). Haven't you or a(nother) guy/person call a car sexy or something? Seems the same to me.
Are you a native English speaker? I remember being shocked when I learned that in English "sexy" has a popular meaning outside of sexual context. While I wouldn't use a (translation of) sexy in my native language in this context it seems that it's perfectly acceptable in English.
That's actually what's hard when learning foreign languages - words which are similar to the ones you know, but with different semantics. It's even harder when the language you're learning is relatively similar to yours - it was a bigger problem for me to learn Russian than English for this reason.
No, I'm not, and WOW, I didn't knew about that, I'm somewhat shocked also! :D
I hit the dictionary and found that this word is also used for something "exciting". We never-ever use it in this context, there is no such thing in Hungarian language that anything else than woman or men is "sexy".
That's why I read HN, to learn every day, thank you!
p.s. It still feel strange to me naming a women and also a text editor sexy, so I will never use it, but now I understand, it might not be that stupid than I thought. :)
Emacs is sexy, smart, complex, kind, and he give me good fights and funny moments some times. Is the only man i ever need. And i love cheating my boyfriend with it! :p.
