  1. @brendengrace lunch makes sense. I am back in VA in early June, will ping you then.
  2. @brendengrace interesting, mind if I email you to learn more about that?
  3. @brendengrace nah, it's not that slow.
  4. @erickuo nah, this was last week
  5. Great pic of Chris and Didier (Parse.ly dev ops and systems engineers) at Hot Bird in Brooklyn: flickr.com/photos/toms/72…
  6. @susleec not sure yet, any suggestions?
  7. Photo of me, @SachinKamdar, and Didier Deshommes in the first months of @parsely's existence. flickr.com/photos/2332527… (one of my favs)
  8. Add another thing to my list of "technology is constantly getting speedier and more lightweight, here's why" -- 4G wifi anywhere.
  9. Just ran an Amazon EMR job across several hundred gigabytes of data, will take a few hours. Wish EMR could e-mail notify me when done!
  10. Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, Ubuntu One, iCloud, Dumptruck, Tarsnap... the era of cloud file fragmentation has begun, I realize.
  11. Time for a @parsely team "creepy smile time!" flickr.com/photos/2332527… (inside joke for @_zachary @emmett9001 @SachinKamdar, @JohnMLevitt)
  12. @nvie if you do look at it, make sure to reference :h rope_keys -- the bindings are a little emacs-like. C-c r r, C-c g, C-c d, C-c f
  13. @nvie and eg this rule python.org/dev/peps/pep-0… written in 2001 seems like it could be loosened (say, 100 chars) in 2012
  14. @nvie ah right, but A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds python.org/dev/peps/pep-0… <-- I prefer to incrementally restyle
  15. @nvie so far rename, goto definition, and file search work perfectly -- and those three seem like 80% of the value.
  16. @nateberkopec yep, this is just a tech variant of "old habits die hard". Took decades for emails to be >70 chars, code to be >78 chars...
  17. @nvie yep, font hunts are yak shaving expeditions ;)
  18. More improvements to my vim IDE this weekend, github.com/amontalenti/ho… -- thanks to @nvie for his excellent vim-flake8 plugin! Also using rope!
  19. @nvie it was just Monospace size 10 running under gnome-terminal (Linux). Lately I've been trying out Ubuntu Mono, see font.ubuntu.com
