i was just listening to “Never Stop” by FM-84, and I thought: This song would fit right in to the John Cusack classic film “Better Off Dead”.
Then i thought: How cool would it be if we could take 80’s films and replace their soundtracks with songs from FM-84, as well as songs by The Midnight, The Strike, and Gunship. ?
People often talk about Emacs vs Vim. Every developer I’ve met uses Vim. Occasionally, some of the vim users will say they have previously emacs, but switched to vim.
So where are all the people who are currently using Emacs?
I’m not trolling or looking for an argument. I legit want to know!
I’m giving 2 talks at Tek in Chicago — Shell Scripting for PHP Developers and Create Better Dotfiles — later this month. It’ll be something to see! You don’t want to miss it!
Did anybody else read this and think “wait, people stiil use Eclipse?” then get to the part that “As Europe’s largest open source foundation, which also supports a robust open specification process, the Eclipse Foundation is a natural home for this effort.” , and think “whoa, seriously?!” 😊

one thing i don’t like about the Linux UI are the fonts. The default fonts don’t look as nice as MacOS. Linux fonts have an “unfinished” look about them - like someone said “publish them for now. we’ll fix the fonts on the next release”

i wonder - what percentage of @Vivaldi employees listen to Vivaldi’s classical music songs? Is it an employee requirement? Are they skewing Spotify’s statistics? Enquiring minds want to know😄
Show idea — Star Trek: Collective. It’s an origin story … of the Borg! It starts in a world a little more advanced than our own - by a hundred years or so. They have space travel . This would probably be 500-700 years before TNG.. It starts with a robot workforce. And bringing an AI online to manage it for asteroid mining . There’s some parallels to Caprica, but it’s all StarTrek
i’m thinking about reviving NYPHP. Live in NYC (or nearby), and Interested in attending?

I can’t help but think “Where was Granmar Girl when I was in school?” I was a math and science guy in school. So I didn’t enjoy my English classes at the time. As I follow along with @grammargirl she makes learning about the English language fun.
