Very intuitive

Not familiar with android, but I have a VM setup on my Linux machine that boots OSX and I run Xcode from there.

I think it's worth having a basic understanding of all the sciences.

@sirjofri I have a vim repo setup on Github. I have my plugins as sub modules and then just sym link ~/.vimrc to ~/.vim/vimrc

@arkokoley I've been slowly building up my .vimrc. Haven't messed around with the .tmux.conf much yet though.

Holy fuck, that design is on point.

I used openbox and tint2 back when I was running arch. The customization is endless. I spent more time customizing and tweaking my themes than getting actual work done, but it was pretty fun and I ended up with a GUI where i designed each aspect of it.

"Magic internet connector"

I guess I'm most thankful for technology's ability to keep me connected with my family regardless of where I may be in the world.

A few button clicks and I'm looking at my wife's/parent's face even though I'm hundreds of miles away.

Neither, remapped ctrl to caps lock

@Letmecode whoops, lets say they couldn't care less.

I've heard this book mentioned a few times, so I put it on my Christmas list. Looking forward to reading it next year.

I actually like swift a lot, but I wouldn't want to be thrown into any near-complete project with a language I wasn't competent with.

Wow, that looks pretty good. I've been using Input for a while now, but I'll try this one out too.

Red flag?

That's awesome! Good luck!

@johnny-cache had to google that term, and don't think I'll wrap my head around that for some time

@silurian The escape key was the first that I remapped when attempting to learn vim.

I read through the whole rant, so it deserves an increment in my book.

Same here, I switched over about 4 months ago and haven't looked back.

@xios I've become no longer scared of vim. I can move around inside of files and edit stuff, but I'm still pretty slow at it. I can definitely see that becoming competent with it would be a huge boost to my productivity, but it would take a while to get to that level.

Hahah....yep

@h3ll Ah okay, thanks for the information. I was just wondering because I chose my college because it was one of the few in the country that had a Software Engineering degree that was accredited through ABET.

@h3ll What about if you get a SWE degree through an ABET accredited program? Are those the only people who can work on like airplane systems or medical software where people's lives are at stake, or are they lying to us at school?

I'm really going to just try to grasp the basics, so git doesn't open vim and I'm all "oh lawd, not again....I just want to exit." But who knows, maybe I'll like it and dive a little deeper!

@thecritic I wasn't aware of the fact you could have variable length arrays.

To give the full story, I emailed my professor with a thorough explanation of a problem and asked for guidance. He responded with he wasn't sure what the problem was, so I posted the exact same thing in stack overflow and had multiple people tell me that something he had told us in class wasn't correct, WHILE actually giving me an in-depth explanation and answer to my issue....for free....hence my rant.

@thecritic Interesting! I wonder how they implement it as an array of characters in C++ since arrays can't be of variable length, but you can add characters onto a string changing the size of the array?

@thecritic Well quite a few people replied saying strings were actually very complex classes and not simply arrays of characters. The language was C++ by the way.

@yreaction What features are those? I just learned enough obj-c to be able to read/translate it to swift.
