My only problem with terminal and vagrant built into the IDE, is I have multiple monitors and enjoy separation. I usually fullscreen my IDE/editor in one monitor, maximizing each file's viewport to the best I can, and then have multiple terminals on another monitor.

Can I "pop-out" the terminal/vagrant windows in this IDE and put them on another monitor?

Can PHPStorm be considered a full fledged IDE?

I kind of think a full fledged IDE should be capable of multiple languages. e.g. Ruby, Python, HTML5, etc. all in one package.

PHPStorm is a specialized IDE.

"Post-mortem" is usually appended to titles for solved vulnerabilities, although this was 2 months ago. Maybe just timestamp it? e.g. "Facebook CSRF leading to full account takeover (Post-mortem, August 2013)"

Ouch. Not everyone is an MBA. I'm guessing that note is exaggerated or out of context.

Exactly, especially in the Twitch.tv and eSport era. Sponsored players flaunt their hardware, often linking to Amazon product pages or giving hardware away in their Twitch channels. These professional players have tens of thousands of viewers, and thousands of subscribers, on Twitch. There's a lot of marketing to be had.

I'm sure most start ups in Miami have A/C, so I'm not sure what your concern is. Most apartments too.

Anyway, I live in an area that reaches 43c in the summer and -6c in the winter. When I first moved here it definitely threw me off, but I got acclimated to it quickly.

> Also, some of us have (in business environments) $1k+ S-IPS 30"+ monitors — the quality of these monitors is way above that of consumer models like the VG248QE and others. If there is no way to generically mod monitors without onboard DSPs, I could see that hindering adoption.

I think Nvidia is targeting hardcore gamers first and foremost. Most gamers are not gaming at 2560x1600/1440. Some are, but most aren't.

The most popular monitors by pro gamers right now (Twitch/eSport players and enthusiasts) are 120/144hz 1ms monitors, such as the ASUS VG248QE. Color reproduction isn't as important to pro gamers as smoothness/framerates.

Also hardcore/pro players are dumping lots of money on the most expensive computer rigs, often upgrading to the latest and greatest every generation. They are a very important marketing group for Nvidia.

Awesome. One very (very very) small step closer to creating a pill to help the flushing process so we may sleep less, or not at all.

Whoa, what? You've just described every single Kickstarter. Sounds like you have a problem with Kickstarter, not this campaign.

Isn't WeFunder your target?

Unless you're disabled, why do people want an electric bicycle? I figured most people cycle because they love cycling and the exercise of it. Including hills. Is this product meant to attract more automobilist?

> The week after Christmas, we drove our entire lives up to our new apartment in NYC, got my wife settled in the city, and then I flew out to San Francisco to live on the other side of the country from her for 3 months.

Out of context this wording is kind of funny/sad.

Eh, lots of things can be done. They all involve development though, and SF is stubborn.

Build vertically. Look at Tokyo if you need ideas of super density.

Your post comes off very egoistical. Ghost has actually delivered. I would hold off on your self glorification until you do the same.

Joystiq has a habit of downloading YouTube videos and self-hosting them with their watermark. (How is that even legal?)

Then when people visit their blog articles, they see watermarked videos and think they're exclusives.

Looks like a great alternative to the Xbox PC controller, but like everyone has been thinking, this is in no way a serious replacement for a mouse. Especially if you're a competitive gamer.

New comment by Miyamoto in "Poll: What are your liked and disliked programming languages?"

Miyamoto — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 16:33:49 +0000

You can tell this is a bullshit poll by how many people like C. Don't get me wrong, it's a great language, but there's no way there are that many people programming in C. It has as many likes as JavaScript. Rather, people just voted C because it's a favorite language and it usually has positive press around Hacker News. So people vote what's popular and hip, despite probably having never stepped out of their web development languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, etc.) bubble.

Miyamoto — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 20:36:19 +0000

There isn't a single community on Reddit unlike here. Every subreddit is unique.

For example, people on /r/bicycling are often very elitist and critical. It reminds me of HN sometimes. People on /r/pics are more friendly.

New comment by Miyamoto in "How much can an extra hour's sleep change you?"

Miyamoto — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 18:19:18 +0000

My school offered a few tracks. The earliest track had you out of school earlier, but classes started at 7AM. Everyone took that track at my school because people could get out earlier and do things when it's still light outside. I regularly woke up at 5:30AM with no trouble. It's not really uncommon for teenagers to wake up at 6AM. For some weird reason that changes in college, and everyone gets lazy and sleeps in. (despite college usually offering superior choice of schedule)

Yea. It's Amazon. They're kind of a big deal.
