Ok so, yet again, it seems that there should be no problem with the US doing their own thing?
ruleabidinguser··on Angela Merkel: Europe must take ‘our fate’ into own hands
You shouldn't. If people are being frivilous, let them know, and if they continue, leave them. If Germany can't do this, not only should you not feel sorry for them, you should not afford them any respect.

ruleabidinguser··on Git and GitHub Integration Comes to Atom
The critical feature of auto complete is discovery, not saving a couple of seconds of typing (its always too slow for that anyways). Even if a plugin exists (which I dont think one does) which has auto complete with in line documentation and method/property details (pretty crucial to discovery), theres not a chance in hell it succeeds in making it presentable in the terminal.

I think VSCode/atom fit in the nice space where you don't want huge, intensive projects, but you do want to do some real programming (aka you'll need this discovery and a good debugger).

ruleabidinguser··on C++ Error Handling: Why Use Eithers in Favor of Exceptions and Error-Codes
The point is to handle exceptions in appropriate locations, and pass exceptions up if you cant handle them. I think theyre saying that throwing a try block around an exception just to avoid dealing with it is a problem

I've tried and learned vim and I'm very capable of navigating with it (I don't use marks but I use about everything else) and it is precisely good at one thing: being an editor. If you try to make it an IDE, I believe you're just using a bad IDE. It is only effective for me as a very lightweight editor for quickly making simple edits to a file.

Why don't I like it as an IDE?

* Second hand auto complete

* Second hand project management

* No debugger

These are actually to me huge features and the third party support for each of them exists but doesn't touch the quality of implementation in a dedicated IDE. Not to mention it adds hours of extra work to getting started in an environment you don't already have configured.

And frankly, you don't have to learn vim to recognize this.
