These two, as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_circle#Bower_and_Chorley

This should be shouted, at top volume, to everyone entering university. Great advice.

"You can't fuck crazy sane."

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."

Freedom does this, apparently pretty well. Not CLI, though, apparently.

Edit2: this may be what exactly what you're looking for: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-an-automatic-email-respo...

I have got to try this.

Heh. That is one hell of a phone.

Emacs has many ways of highlighting search terms: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/385661/emacs-highlight-al...

The idea is to bring about world peace by collaboratively creating a tutorial which can only be coped with using a sufficiently powerful editor. It should look impossible to do in notepad and nano, for example.

One criterion is that the tutorial text not play toward specific features of one or another editor, but toward the proper mindset of an editor as an editor.

Another is that it has to be fun.

Any vim users want to help? Or emacs users disturbed at the recent flurry of vim articles?

You guys have it too.

This looks like a great editor. It's proprietary, though. Damn.

Why is it that, as with Opera, every now and then you find an amazing program which, even more amazingly, is closed-source?

Emacs, however, offers minimap as well: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MiniMap

I wonder how well we did compared to Sublime.

I'll open the Emacs lobby with http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/effective-emacs and http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/the-emacs-problem

To give the illusion of fairness, here is a blogpost in which I praise Vim: http://zipwith.blogspot.com/2010/05/power-of-vim.html

The Internet is based on the work of extremely silly people, who just happened to be formidable enough to make their iconoclasm the standard.

DuckDuckGo is exactly the kind of silly, eccentric name that reassures me of competence. Never trust a serious man if you want to change the world.

tl;dr: the article has nothing to do with an axiomatic fatwa generator.

A better solution may be a new form of Erlang flood. Perhaps with some added technical incentive, say, a new list of users most hospitable to "classic" content.

That's a shit idea, but I'd much rather see PG work to better the community, than try throwing tech at it and watching the social forces mitigate his efforts.

I would have liked to see it set up so at the head of each minute/15 minute/hour, the numbers themselves briefly enter the CA.

Or, perhaps for ubergeekishness, a vertically-scrolling binary clock in which each second, the previous configuration (above the current one) enters the CA.

I would be more worried, though, about wearing pants tight enough to harm electronics.

I think it's time they switched lawyers, or at least the copy editors..

I've been spouting my beliefs on the interwebs long enough that am unelectable to any political office.

Being a smug lisp weenie and a haskell cultist, I'd also suggest http://gigamonkeys.com/book/ and http://learnyouahaskell.com/ and http://book.realworldhaskell.org/

I guarantee, you show up knowing Lisp and Haskell, and you'll be way ahead of the entire class. Maybe even the professor.

Now what I'd really like is a programmable alarm clock, allowing me to encode an optimal awakening algorithm. "at volume x, play song y. If snooze button is not pressed yet, double volume and play The Safety Dance."
