on: Bram Moolenaar Discusses Developing Vim, How He Uses It, and Version 8
Yes, this. My primary work environment is Windows. Every attempt to install and successfully use neovim has been far from optimal and sometimes flat out broken. So I go back to gVim.

on: Excuse Me Sir, Your WebRTC Is Leaking
Even if you have the SafeScript and WebRTC extensions installed in Chrome? (no settings changed). That combo passed every online test I could find.

on: Excuse Me Sir, Your WebRTC Is Leaking
The comments in the Chrome WebRTC extension say to use ScriptSafe along with WebRTC. If you do that it works great.

on: YouCompleteMe, a Fast, As-You-Type, Fuzzy-Search Code Completion Engine for Vim
I like the concept and awesome for the fellow to release it... however in the past the following have seriously messed up any attempts of mine to get sensible autocompletion in vim: working in cygwin, projects > 2mil lines of code, and varying types of build infrastructures.
I'll try it, but I'm not hopeful :(

on: Unlimited Vacation Time
If you feel guilty or pressured when taking vacation then perhaps you need to find a better company. The mind and body need breaks.

on: Startup using a custom Portal 2 level to recruit engineers
Clever idea although as others mention it's obviously a very biased selection, but if they are OK with that, that's fine with me. I was all set to try it just for kicks, but this turned me off and I quit the install:
"In this mod you're placed into the Wibi!Data office to reset a PIN for the CEO of the company.
You reset this by gathering reset keys and slowing figuring out the reset code."

Agree with the others. No FB or Twitter, so can't try it out :(

I want to just have it email and I'd like to remove my phone #, can't seem to figure out how.
Also a similar type thing but without the push that I've been using to learn languages (and is very slick) is http://www.memrise.com

Too late for me...I used instapaper religiously but due to not nice Android client I tried Pocket last month. Switched everything to it.

$900 is not that much, I'm actually surprised it's so low.
A GDC All Access pass is $1,950, and a GDC Main Conference pass (typical) is $1,350.

I, can see that. People, always say, that they can determine my writing style, without, much problem.

on: Ask HN: How to move away from Gmail
I use google extensively, gmail for years, google docs, etc. I must have clicked the right things in the privacy checkboxes since when I go to that "what does google think of you" page, it just says it "does not have enough data".

True enough :) We did what we had to do given the circumstances.

Yup. I've done this on a number of projects :) Not as necessary nowadays as it was for PSX, Genesis, and more limited memory platforms.

on: Coding tricks of game developers
For a launch product of a certain console I had a nasty bug report from QA that took 20+ hours to reproduce. Finally (with 24 hours left to go to hit console launch) tracked it down to some audio drivers in the firmware that were erroneously writing 1 random byte "somewhere" at random times where the "somewhere" was always in executable code space. I finally figured out that any given run of the game that "somewhere" was always the same place, luckily. 1st party said sorry, can't fix it in time as we don't know why it's being caused! So I shipped that game with stub code at the very start of main that immediately saved off the 1 byte from the freshly loaded executable in the place I knew it would overwrite for that particular version of the exe. There was then code that would run each frame after audio had run and restore that byte back to what it should be just in case it had been stomped that frame. Good times! We hit launch.
To this day I still feel very very dirty about this hack, but it was needed to achieve the objectives and harmed no-one :)
