vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor.

A slightly eccentric way to remove or rename files, admittedly, but I quite like it.

This is super-useful. Back when I used Emacs, I’d use `dired-mode`’s ability to edit directories when I need to do some fancy renaming stuff, but now that I’m using Vim, this is a life-saver.

Quality vs Quantity

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:28:15 -0400

A thought experiment: Assume that we have some metric of human quality — whatever you desire, be it IQ, kindness, creativity, or some more nebulous construction of what you think makes people “good”. If there was some method which would kill off half of humanity, but double this quantity value in all of the survivors, would it be worth it? What if it were 30% dead and the survivor quality sextupled? Is there any point were this tradeoff starts becoming worth it/not worth it?

(Personally, I’d be okay with 99% gone for epsilon increase, but that’s probably just the exhausted frustration talking).

Small Demons “Welcome to the Storyverse”

This was a fun one to make and to be a part of, and it all starts with a really powerful idea—that there’s value in connecting the details in all the stories in all the books in the world. Say you’re reading High Fidelity and want to listen to every piece of music. And some of those songs are mentioned in other stories, too. Small Demons. Not bad, right?

A million thanks to the Small Demons team (great people) and everyone who helped make this.

Wow, this is amazing! We are totally living in the future, you guys.

This is from yesterday.

I wasn’t going to post photos of myself on this Tumblr, especially not in underwear, but I felt this was too good not to share. Besides, nothing you wouldn’t see at a beach.

Not pictured: ripped up thumb, bashed up shins, bruised knees, shoulders, collarbone, and pervasive DOMS.

Worth it. Next time, though, no heavy deadlifts the day before practice.

PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY.

Nice job! That looks bad as hell

how about you attempt to deadlift near 3x your body weight for the first time with perfect form.. HA.

haters gon’ hate, and imma keep doin’ my thang!

A prime of example of why the internet makes me mad: It doesn’t let me punch “damuschka” or “JSDavis82” in the mouth for being asshats.

A Short and Incomplete List of Shit Some Fuckers Need to Knock the Hell Off

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:00:06 -0400

Jogging in the bike lane.
Riding an electric scooter in the bike lane.
Using “fail” or “win” as nouns.
Calling mundane shit epic.
Relating to 3 and 4, using the phrases “epic win” or “epic fail”.
Saying “X a.m. in the morning” or “Y p.m. at night”.
Thinking that merely making a reference that people recognize counts as humour¹.
Endlessly repeating memes (I’m looking at you here, reddit). Seriously, they are funny maybe once after which they become like having ants inserted in your urethra.
Kipping.
Doing It Wrong.

I’m looking at you here Achewood commenters. Why is it that one of the best webcomics on the internet has the worst commenter culture? Literally every comment I’ve seen there consists of nothing but making a reference to some line in an earlier strip. ↩

stuckinmeta:

I’m finally diving into test-driven development (TDD), and two advantages come to mind:

Making tests pass is fun! It’s a game: checkmark, checkmark, checkmark. Short feedback cycles (aka. instant gratification) are critical in maintaining ‘programming morale’ and productivity.

Coded specs…

Very true. I like having tests mainly because they let me refactor without fear of breakages.
