You just can't switch between ex and vi modes.
That gives you a buffer you can look through previous commands and use normal-mode commands to edit them.
Also, you don't need Ex mode to edit last commands. You can just press Up from cmdline.
I don't see the difference. In my mind, thinking about it logically is recognizing that one side has an excess and removing it from the other side. That's subtracting.
To you is it like looking at 5 * 4 and knowing it's 20 rather than thinking about 2 * 5 is 10 and two of those is 20?
I was the kind of rule-following kid who went through the algebra steps because you were supposed to rather than out of necessity. (Or so I like to think: I'm not good at math in my head because I always wrote it out or maybe I relied on paper since I couldn't do it in my head.) I recall rebelling against memorizing multiplication tables in grade ~4 because I thought my time was better spent leaning new stuff (or maybe understanding how to multiply faster -- wouldn't that be ironic!).
It's always interesting to hear how someone else's brain works. Thank you.

Seems to be a Java static analysis tool and not related to Android permissions (although maybe related to security).
Aside from vi-emulation, I haven't seen many editors that heavily use modal editing.
The whole point of a context-sensitive menu is that it changes depending on your context. I think they're usually for advanced users -- often the right click menu just duplicates commands from the global menu but it's a faster access method. The Win8 case requires it for all users.
Of course if the context is the same, then the menu should be the same. (Maybe that was your point?)

Presumably some parts aren't so isolated.
It depends on previous context. Myself and another career programmer couldn't figure out how to print a wikimedia image on my uncle's Surface RT. (We tried several different apps and looked for context menus in each one to provide a print option.) As far as we could tell, it couldn't be done without dropping to the desktop. My computer-illiterate uncle showed us that you can just pick print from the devices menu in the charms. (Apparently, the Charms is a hybrid system menu and app context menu.)
I didn't have any context for how Win8 works. He did. Then again, I don't know how long it took him to figure it out and whether we would have figured it out eventually.
Despite my bad experience, I'd rather see radical changes in UI instead of sticking with what "works". It only works because we're used to it. Win8 might not be a step in the right direction, but it's might lead to improvements.
(I initially assumed you meant "force this deal".)
Instead of this: http://www.glossophilia.org/wp-content/uploads/towline.jpg -- towing an oceanliner? Does that make any sense?
Then what's the difference between the two terms?
I've always thought that they were quite different (RMS vs ESR). Especially when capitalized as pronouns.
Edit: Nevermind. I missed ajross's response.
Soylent sounds like it's made of soy, but the name essentially means cannibalism. I'd expect the former to kill enthusiasm from the energy drink market (where the cannibalism angle makes it sound more extreme) and the latter to put off everyone else.
Could be better if it didn't jump around each time you click it (each one isn't identically placed).
Is there any action that Google could take that would appear ethical?
I do see your point that other advertisers are unlikely to have "acceptable" ads because they rely on flash and images, but shouldn't they have to make themselves competitive if they want to maintain a level playing field?
If this pushes advertising further away from flashing, shouting, animated ads then it sounds like a brighter future to me.
No, but dismissing games because they're multiplatform does. Just because you have open source friends, doesn't mean you're not racist.
(Maybe you meant that you'd play them on your Mac and if they were designed for Android, then you're not interested because good touch controls rarely translate to good mouse controls. That's perfectly reasonable: The lead platform is usually the best place to play and not all developers put the effort into making good ports. But if you actually cared, you would have asked if these games have good mouse controls instead of being dismissive.)
But I'm not 5. Maybe kids will want to know what yellow does enough to fiddle around and find out.
Thinking about it some more, I guess the clear background means go until you hit a wall, and the colours mean go until you hit this colour. Better iconography might help ( ->| instead of -> ). I'd expect kids will grasp the meaning of symbols really well, but may be easily frustrated if the symbols don't differ how they expect.
(Did not try signing up because I totally agree with you.)
Edit: I just realized that "If you sign up now, you’ll get to submit your first idea free" implies you're monetizing the entrepreneurs who use the site -- so all content is paid content.
It's $12 (or $9 according to the preview) and the first thing it tells you to do is forget everything you know about source control. If you know SVN and want to use that knowledge to learn Git, I don't think you'd like this book. If you think knowing the underlying data model will help you be more effective with git, this book is for you.
The book has lots of diagrams and I thought it was pretty well written (and not too slow).
I use git for personal projects (not production code). Unlike many who think git is a hostile hateful thing, I think git has a brilliant command-line user interface. I don't know if this book made me that way, but I also use Vim so that might explain it (again, I disagree with the prevailing opinion of hostile hateful thing).
I've never messed with bash completion before, but it was as simple as adding this to my bash_aliases:
complete -o default -o nospace -F _git g(It lacks all of the magic of z -- it doesn't try to learn how you work. It's entirely explicit.)
Agreed, but I'd expect few people would put in money up front to fund something that no one's promising to make. It's hard to give it a hard date like Kickstarter since it's not the people doing who create the posts.
The best way I can think of going about it is having people say how much they're willing to pay (but no money changes hands), allowing someone to say they're going to implement and idea, and then it turns into a kickstarter project and emails all of the people who said they'd pay so they can enter their credit card details.
That way there's no risk for the backers (until they know someone wants to fulfill their dreams) or creator's (functions just like kickstarter for them -- except someone is giving them an initial list of interested parties). The websites whole purpose becomes facilitating new ideas.
To cut down on spam, you could charge people a dollar per vote (or microtransactions) and then promise creators a cut of that if they successfully "kickstart" a project (or convert a sufficient number of voting backers).
* To be clear: I'm not talking about using kickstarter -- then you'd lose all your revenue.
Edit: I expected pvsh to be about "I want this thing" instead of feature requests for specific products. It seems weird to me for Corporations to request bounties on features, but I still like the idea as a way to connect user's wants with entrepreneurs.
