SmileyKeith··on Swift Thinking [video]
What are you thinking about specifically?
SmileyKeith··on Swift syntax for Vim
Done!
SmileyKeith··on Swift syntax for Vim
Surprisingly this file is pretty simple. The learning curve for writing syntax files is definitely something though.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add some screenshots.
SmileyKeith··on App.net State of the Union
Just a small client for distraction free posting. http://sailforapp.net/
SmileyKeith··on App.net State of the Union
As a developer on the platform who relied on the developer incentive program this is extremely disappointing. Like many other developers using ADN as a backend I relied on that to make my application free and got a small amount of money each month if people voted for it with the program. It wasn't a significant amount of money but it was enough to pay for my developer membership. Now I imagine even fewer users will be on the service and I have very little incentive to keep improving the application.
SmileyKeith··on Atom Is Now Open Source
The instructions for building the linux version are in the readme
SmileyKeith··on New dev release of Sublime Text 3
It saddens me that this is news. I really wish a modern editor like this was more actively developed. It just seems like 5 months and 4 small items in the changelog is insufficient for sustainability.
SmileyKeith··on Keeping up with Rust's breaking changes
How do people who have experience with both think about Go vs Rust? I'm not even sure if that's an apt comparison but people seem to be pitting them against each other these days.
SmileyKeith··on A Haskell Programmer Tries to Learn Racket
I love the play by play of exactly what you're thinking as you're doing something new. I find them quite informative.
SmileyKeith··on Does your browser rejected revoked certificates?
Works in Chrome 34.0.1847.116 on OS X once "Check for server certificate revocation" is checked (off by default as others have said).
SmileyKeith··on Trapperkeeper is a new Clojure framework for long-running applications, services
I've been looking at Clojure a lot lately. It's a really cool looking language that appears pretty powerful. As an outsider I'd really like to see some more "ramping up" kind of posts to get my head around all the basics of the tooling (leiningen) and how to actually structure a program.
SmileyKeith··on GHC 7.8.1 released
Assuming it has something to do with this[0] but I'd be interested to know as well.

SmileyKeith··on The Heartbleed Bug
Figured there might be more than just that flag you'd want to compile with.
SmileyKeith··on The Heartbleed Bug
Can some people who are smarter than me give us the flags we would like to compile this with manually?
SmileyKeith··on TimL – Clojure like language which compiles down to VimL
As someone who develops some plugins this looks freaking awesome. Think I'm past thinking this is a April fools joke, knowing his sense of humor, the number of lines of code and the commit history.
SmileyKeith··on OpenZFS on OS X
This post seems to have destroyed the site. Excited to try it out though.
SmileyKeith··on 2048
This is a great game!
SmileyKeith··on [dead]
This is definitely a parody of https://atom.io/ if anyone was wondering why it exists.
SmileyKeith··on Why I Use Emacs
(As a vim user) I like to think that the keybindings actually make sense. There are tons of articles out there about the verbage of vim commands. Once you get used to the vocabulary vim makes a lot of sense. (But it could just be Stockholm syndrome for most of us)
SmileyKeith··on Tor Instant Messaging Bundle
Yea. Seems like that question is a lot of the conversation going on here as well.
SmileyKeith··on Tor Instant Messaging Bundle
What am I missing here, aren't these two comments conflicting?

> Audit the Pidgin chat client, fixing security bugs

And

> we don't want to use Pidgin/libpurple

SmileyKeith··on Apple releases OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 with SSL fix
Nice call. Yea very strange. Seems like the most important thing in this update. It should at least be at the top of the bug fix list.
SmileyKeith··on Apple releases OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 with SSL fix
I cant believe they don't even mention the SSL bug in this. That's just insulting.
SmileyKeith··on A Gentle Intro to Go
I've really started to love Go. There are some great tidbits in here.
SmileyKeith··on Jolla’s Sailfish OS has reached release 1.0
> Downloadable Android Launcher is also coming to Play Store apparently, and it will allow the Android users to test out how Sailfish looks like and feels like before flashing their devices into it...

That is a great idea.

SmileyKeith··on Gmail adding prominent 'Unsubscribe' option to marketing emails
I was in some A/B test of this a while back and it's awesome. Can't wait for it to be rolled out.
SmileyKeith··on Neovim
I think one of the most important things about this is the last bullet point. "Development on Github." I occasionally look at the vim-dev mailing list and I see people attaching patch files to conversations. I think Github's collaborative development workflow could help the barrier of entry to updates a lot.
SmileyKeith··on Less Commonly Used Unix Commands
man ascii

That's definitely useful.

SmileyKeith··on As much Stack Overflow as possible in 4096 bytes
This is amazing. As others have said I really wish this kind of insane performance would be a goal for sites like this. After trying this demo I found it difficult to go back to the same pages on the normal site. Also I imagine even with server costs this would save them a lot of bandwidth.
