mattattaque··on Show HN: Emacs Mini Manual
As a diehard vim guy, I've always wanted to at least dabble a bit in emacs to see what it's all about. This will do nicely. Thanks.
mattattaque··on Linus Torvalds gives a tour of his home office
He came and spoke at my university a couple months back. He was a really nice personable guy, especially considering how many people wanted to chat with him. It was very surreal being so close to someone acting so normal with the realization that he created so much of what you use everyday. The entire CS department felt like they'd just seen God.

Ubuntu, Redhat, and CentOS?
mattattaque··on Why I Use Emacs
I've never tried Emacs, but tales of the unergonomic nature if its keybindings have steered me far far away. On a side note though the author wrote "I don’t think I could learn another set this side of river Styx." and I just find myself really liking this expression. Cheers!
mattattaque··on Atom
Looks like Sublime Text but with a ton of resource-consuming shit I'll never use, which itself is similar to the reason I stopped using Sublime Text. I'll sick with vim, thanks.
mattattaque··on The Profitable Side Project Handbook
Idea #1: Create handbook on "Profitable Side Projects" to sell to developers.
mattattaque··on Final Term - Terminal Emulator
Definitely interesting. Hate all the mousing around in the video and hope they'll be a way to go 100% keyboard (like God intended it), but all in all I think this looks pretty cool.
mattattaque··on Ask HN: Will you help a junior developer in need of short-term employment?
Just curious, but why stay in San Francisco? Austin is FAR more doable living-expense-wise, and there is a budding startup scene from what I hear so there's bound to be a few jobs. Sure it's Texas, but it's not like you need to stay forever.
mattattaque··on Code Wars (JS, Coffeescript & Ruby)
I dig it! Didn't get any of the errors everyone else here seems to be experiencing (Chrome on Win, v27). Looking forward to more of this. Nice job.
