By your reasoning, virtual keyboards should only have one keyboard layout as well. Why should virtual keyboards be limited by what's obviously a manufacturing constraint?

Well, I would say that it refers to the Starcraft series. I'm so old that I remember the first Starcraft game – and I'm quite sure it had Zerg. ;)

In C++11 you can use ‘auto’ when defining a variable and the compiler will figure out its type for you.

Learn to use text objects¹ – they are what makes Vim much more powerful than Vi. You can even add custom text objects² such as function argument³ or camel case word⁴.

Text objects let you operate on logical units of text. E.g. “change inner word” (ciw), “delete a sentence” (das), change inner double quotes (ci"), ...

These things have nothing to do with the terminal emulator you're using and everything to do with your shell.

I stayed at a hotel, but I can't remember its name. I was there with my girlfriend and we paid around $10 per night including a light breakfast. There are also some really nice resorts there, but I don't know how much they cost. The food is amazing and nasi goreng (fried rice with some meat and vegetables) is often not more than $0.40–$0.50.

Another thing: It's really easy to pick up some Indonesian phrases since the language is quite simple to pronounce and has a really simple grammar. The language does not have the concept of tones that other south-east Asian languages (Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese...) have, so even if the pronunciation is a bit off, people will understand you. It was really nice being able to use some polite phrases in Indonesian after just a few days – even if using English was no problem. :-)

Lombok, Indonesia – for a couple of reasons.

Lombok is a laid-back, easy-going beach paradise right next to Bali. It's pretty much like Bali without tonnes of tourists.

You can get really cheap flights to Bali (since so many people go there). Going from Bali to Lombok takes less than a day by bus/taxi and ferry. I ended up near Senggigi, Lombok by coincidence last summer and ended up staying there for weeks. I halfway plan to do what you're doing once and that's probably where I would go. :-)

You will probably not find super-fast Internet connections outside of cities/tourist destinations, but unless you often need to download gigabytes of data that shouldn't be a problem.

This came up during a discussion of Haskell’s comment syntax on the haskell-café list:

it sounds scarier than it is:
