Bullshit -- plenty of people, especially technical folks or individuals working in IT more generally -- still haven't learned the lessons of hard work and problem solving + prioritization of tasks under pressure. Even if it's treacly, it's still worth hearing the same thing for the millionth time. I can tell you, for one, that I'll reshare this link in a place where my team might see it (especially for the benefit of the remote teams in Mexico, Brazil, and India, where programmers tend to come from upper-middle/upper class families anyway and may never have held a manual labor position in their lives).
I'm not an e-sports fan, but there are plenty more monotonous jobs that people do for a living other than playing videogames. Is it silly? Maybe. Would I enjoy playing games for so long every day? Not really. Compared to watching "reality" contestants humiliate themselves to make a "brand name" for themselves, this is perfectly respectable.
As the others have replied, prize winnings, team salary (teams generate money from sponsorship deals and selling merch). Also TLO (like many pro's) streams his SC2 sessions via twitch.tv and generates ad revenue.
Is it worth it to try to figure out what this article is about? It's very non-accessible writing and I can't seem to find his point nor do I see a reason to care about it from scanning.
I honestly like vim fugitive because of it's awesome power. I just type ,gd to see a diff in a split. I probably don't want to scan the gutter for files i've changed, and fugitive diff folds all non-changed lines
also, who the hell sets their font size that small? (screenshot in the readme). that's a sociopathically small font size. I will never trust you airblade. never.
I use both. If I need a full diff, fugitive is great. Sometimes I just want to scan to see what lines I changed in a a file. In other words, it is impractical to use this plugin to find out what _files_ you've changed. It is great for finding out what lines in whatever file you've opened have changed.
No. You you do your thing. I'll do this. I don't want to have to run another command to see what lines have changed in my file. I want small, non-intrusive icons in the gutter without doing a damned thing.
I do, but that's because I am not a developer so a lot of the information on HN is novel and outside my usual knowledge base. That, and the designer digests available on the web are so dumbed down it's hard to stomach.
Like watching repeats of MythBusters, the designer news outlets are ostensibly for designers but it's more about disseminating easily digestible content.
That wasn't a lmgtfy answer. It was a constructive link to an encyclopaedia article, with a relevant quote from that article, and a relevant image. There were also links to other sources of information.
lmgtfy is hateful because it often links to the same search that the asker has previously done, and returns the same not-useful hits. But the answerer doesn't check the returned hits, and just smugly slaps lmgtfy in to "teach" the asker a lesson about searching before asking.
Sometimes people just don’t know how to search for the topic that interests them. Asking the question is the only way they will find the answer. In that case, adding a well-framed presentation of your better-informed search results, along with some links, is actually a net gain. Search engines can now index your answer and ultimately enable fewer questions like this.
