Wow, this is wildly refreshing. Definitely more interesting and fun than any crud bullshit I do every day.

The stream was lagging almost as much as Tyson's fighting.

Harsh but true

I use scholar.google.com and search for topics I am interested in. If you have access to IEEE or ACM publications then even better. Or I download books as pdfs and read those instead of scrolling hacker news ;)

I am taking a crack (again) at creating vim bindings in Javascript for HTML textarea inputs.

Please don't make me write uppercase keywords. They make my eyes bleed and hurt my hands. Why not let the syntax highlighter do the heavy lifting for you? Dress your keywords with mauve or a nice butterscotch. Don't shout at the database. Write queries as if you are texting your best friend—all lowercase. Your friend understands and so does the database.

  select      e.first_name,
              e.last_name,
              s.amount
  from        employee as e
  inner join  salary as s
              on e.id = s.employee_id;

CTEs would be such a blessing. I am stuck using mysql 5.6. So many queries would just get simpler.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Downloaded it this morning on my work machine and it worked like a dream. Multiline mode and vim bindings were the chefs kiss that brought it all together.
