daGrevis··on Ask PG: Why not use the ▲ unicode character instead of a gif on HN?
PG doesn't have time. Others do, so I introduce to you HN Special. http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/hn-special/

P.S. It has unicode arrows.

daGrevis··on Ask HN: What is the must have feature of your IDE
Vim bindings include Vi bindings, but Vim bindings is more.

Light Table is very alpha, so at the moment it's really not a serious candidate to replace Sublime or Vim. Will see what happens. :)

Should I be impressed? Mess on top of existing mess. :(
daGrevis··on Github was down
Half of package managers are down (can not retrieve package) as well. Mirrors, please?
daGrevis··on Light Table is now open source
My comment from earlier today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7023884

tl;dr It's happening!

daGrevis··on Ask HN: What is the must have feature of your IDE
Since I started to use Vim, I can't switch to any other editor or IDE. It's not because Vim editor is so great or because I don't like those niceties that other editors and IDEs offer, but it's because I have those Vim-bindings in my muscle memory and I can't be productive w/o them.

Show me an IDE that has nice support for Vim-bindings and is highly customizable (plugin support with rich API, programming language I can use to improve it as I like it), and I will happily leave Vim and use it. So far the closest thing I've seen is Lighttable, but still it lacks some Vim-bindings and is very in beta for now.

To answer OP's question, Vim-bindings and configuration options at extreme.

daGrevis··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Evernote?
Use Vim and GitHub Gists.

daGrevis··on Ask HN: What's your new year resolution?
[] Improve my English,

[] Learn any functional language (I tried to learn Haskell, now I'm looking at Clojure);

daGrevis··on A useful Caps Lock key
I have been using super-caps for some time to remap Caps to be Escape or Control if pressed together with something else. https://github.com/cmatheson/super-caps

I must admit, on my computer I'm super productive. My left hand isn't moving at all and my left's pinkie feels relieved because it doesn't have to bend to Control key. On other computers I'm totally screwed. As OP mentioned before, I have ruined my muscle memory.

daGrevis··on Ruby 2.1 Released
Please stop posting links to file locations. Announcements or changelogs would be more useful! If I would like to download it, I'll just use package manager. Personally, I just want to read what's new.
daGrevis··on Regex Golf
I like the idea, but words there seems to be pretty random. I can't figure out the pattern, not even talking about writing regex... :(

daGrevis··on Vim: Spacebar as leader key, CapsLock as Esc
I used `;` remapped to `:` for some time as well, but native functionality of `;` is just too awesome!
daGrevis··on Explain Shell
It says that `-h` in `shutdown` stands for help, not halt. Otherwise, seems as a useful tool! :)
daGrevis··on The string type is broken
Logically equivalent doesn't mean equivalent for computers. While you can't define why reverse of “noël“ is “lëon“ by set of rules that computer can follow, computer just can't know.

You're never the only one, I'm using it too! :)
daGrevis··on Github seems to be experiencing security issues
Someone from Venezuela tried to log in, but failed.
daGrevis··on Show HN: A game I've been working on for the last year is out today
I'm doing the same using this service. http://domains4good.org/

Now, developers.lv redirects to awesome page instead of doing nothing.

Is it open-sourced?
daGrevis··on Bitcoin HITS $400
So if I'm not mistaken, I could have bought 2000 BTCs 4.5 years ago for 100 USD then and now I would have 0.8m USD?

Edit:

    >>> btc_count = Decimal("100") / Decimal("0.05")
    >>> int(btc_count)
    2000
    >>> float(btc_count * Decimal("400"))
    800000.0
daGrevis··on Django 1.6 released
Things should make sense without reading documentation (I'm not saying that you don't need to read it) and boolean having a default doesn't make any sense. Argument about it having a default value in other frameworks isn't a real argument either.
daGrevis··on GitHub's Explore Email
A bit confusing that there isn't any submit button or other indicator that shows me that my preference is saved.

Otherwise, a cool feature; didn't know about it until now.

daGrevis··on Django 1.6 released
It's a small change yet I'm really happy with it.

> BooleanField no longer defaults to False

It caused quite a few headaches. Boolean can't have default.

daGrevis··on I failed a Twitter interview
I think this explains it.

daGrevis··on Forget about sql in 50 lines of python code
I have always wondered could something like this could be implemented as database backend for Django next to SQLite3, MySQL and Postgres backends. The reason for it would be ability to run tests that uses database w/o actually using database (because databases are freaking slow even when they are in memory).

daGrevis··on You Can't JavaScript Under Pressure
Exactly this. I had to rename `i` for indexes to `j` and that really messes my head up! :(
