Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of introspecting the directory names...I'll see if I can work that in there.
You have to put quotes because otherwise Vim complains about using undefined symbols (I don't plan on using the command interface in the long run; probably something more like what MiniBufExplorer does, or even FuzzyFileFinder's hack of the completion system). I agree that it's clumsy, but the command interface is limited, and can only accept paths with quotes omitted.
Why do you think Project.vim stinks? I've been using it for nearly a year now on a daily basis and I can't live without it.
I tried your plugin out and it worked well, but I have no reason to switch. The one thing I can't do without is being able to quickly search through all of the files in my project. Is there any way to do this within Proj?
Nope, it's simple by design. Project.vim seems mainly for projects that need to pull in files from all over the place and probably fulfills that goal well. If I need to search the working directory, I'll use ':!grep -RI "term" .' (or vim's grep which is pretty nice).
I say that project.vim stinks because it's awkward and its usage is unclear. Maybe I've never "gotten" it, but I think there are many others like myself who really, really wanted to like project.vim but just couldn't use it.
I have my mind on other goals. One is to add a toggleable split that gives useful version control information by integrating with the VCS plugin.
Sorry, I was a bit vague. I also use grep -R to search through files. I meant searching for files. As in, I have hundreds of files and I want to quickly open bar.rb which is buried in some directly. In project.vim I type '^wh/bar.rb[enter]\s' and boom, I'm in that file.
I guess that's honestly the main functionality I get out of project.vim. I can't comment on how it handles others' needs.
I think he doesn't like all the upvotes for the snarky anti-PHP comment:
You don't really learn PHP so much as catch it. Like a disease.
At the risk of being modded down, the comment has some merit. PHP programmers usually gravitate to PHP without having much experience with related, but supposedly better, languages like Ruby, Python, Lua, etc. But PHP programmers who really dig into programming often leave for other languages. The Ruby and Python communities are full of ex-PHPers. But how many people from the Python or Ruby communities leave for PHP?
This isn't to say that PHP has no merit. It was my first web programming language. But maybe its merits don't stack up well against other languages, which is the subject of the original article.
I know I signed that as my final post, but I feel the need to assure you that I wouldn't be offended by something so silly.
Sometimes you just get bored with a place and feel like moving on :^)
I think I'll spend less time on sites like these and more playing this fine Buffet clarinet I picked up on Saturday. It's been a while, but my embouchure's returning already.
Yes, it's important to note that the only previous way of getting a quote from him was directly contacting him. A lot of people don't want this. Also the forms makes it explicit what his costs are and what he is capable of doing.
Unlikely. Those Seinfeld ads didn't actually try to sell anything. A bit of overpriced, mild brand reinforcement most likely would not have affected the company's short-term prospects.
By the way, what M$ is doing here is very screwed up. They're laying off the first batch (1400) immediately, but using the remaining 3600 as a threat to make competition cutthroat. I might just quit if I worked there.
Karen Hughes, one of his closest advisers, "rarely read books and distrusted people who did."
Who knows where that came from. Gotta love billion-dollar words thrown in like "homunculi" and "ratiocination" instead of the clearer "cronies" and "reasoning," respectively.
I just can't help but feel that this particular analyst is strongly biased.
I don't know why people are putting this sort of work on GitHub instead of dotfiles. GitHub takes a while to load, and there are two wasted clicks here (the file in question, then "Raw"). At the very least he could have linked directly to the raw file.
I keep my Vim stuff on FreeHg, but that's because we're talking about possibly hundreds of files when you consider the color schemes, doc files, plugins, etc. More importantly, it's awesome to be able to quickly pull in all of my vim stuff onto any machine with Hg and I needed this setup to easily sync between work, the server, and home.
Because the dotfiles homepage says "Latest files uploaded" and lists dates that are three years old. If it's not dead, it's apparently working to give that impression.
Obama may very well have entered this using FCKEditor himself. Evidence: The title:
<strong>Executive Order -- Presidential Records</strong>
Empty paragraphs and all, this looks like most article content that gets spit out of a CMS. Of course, I have no reason to believe that it was Obama in particular, but you never know, it was his first executive order...
Wait, how does the title mean Obama did it directly? I'd suspect that he drafted the order, but there's no evidence of this being anything other than a copy.
The no-lobbyists order has been a long time coming. I'm thrilled.
