" have something like:
"
"     foo

" And you want to wrap it in a method call, so you type:
"

• https://github.com/clojure/core.async - readme with nothing, api "docs" if you google
• https://github.com/clojure/test.generative - readme with slightly more than nothing. one or two examples and then "read the source"
• https://github.com/clojure/core.contracts/ - one example and then "read the docstrings"
• https://github.com/liebke/incanter - still a random assortment of wiki pages, blog posts, etc. when I was trying to understand it the best thing I found was a powerpoint presentation
• https://github.com/clojure/core.memoize - "read the docstrings"
• https://github.com/cemerick/friend - has a lot of words but I still can't understand how it works. maybe this is just me being too dumb to get it though.

I need a key to move the cursor to the space before the current WORD. Here's my use case:

.
                                   cursor --v
$ java -jar foo.jar run /some/long/path/here#
<c-magic>
$ java -jar foo.jar run#/some/long/path/here
              cursor --^

That way I can c-w to kill that run command and then type out a different one, but preserving the path.

n = BigDecimal(row.bigDecimal("mycol").get).toBigIntExact.get

               row.bigDecimal("mycol")                        // returns Option[java.math.BigDecimal]
               row.bigDecimal("mycol").get                    // pull the java.math.BigDecimal out (will scream if it's a None)
    BigDecimal(row.bigDecimal("mycol").get)                   // convert to a scala.math.BigDecimal
    BigDecimal(row.bigDecimal("mycol").get).toBigIntExact     // convert to Option[scala.math.BigInt]
    BigDecimal(row.bigDecimal("mycol").get).toBigIntExact.get // pull out the bigint or scream if it was a None

Dear soon-to-be-former user,

We've got some fantastic news!  Well, it's great news for us anyway.  You, on 
the other hand, are fucked.

I pronounce the # character a bunch of different ways, depending on the context:

thing	how I say it
#python on freenode irc	pound python
#! in the first line of a script	hash bang (as in "hash bang bin bash")
#include in a C file	pound include
#+ and #- Lisp reader thingies	sharp plus and sharp minus
#' Lisp reader thing	sharp quote
#(...) Clojure function	pound paren

So I recently got one of these: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,rf104&pid=yk2100 and promised to review it after a few days. It's now been a few weeks so I'm ready. I've been using a standard Realforce 104 before this.

Like all Realforce keyboards (aside from the Type Heaven which I haven't tried) this thing is built like a tank.

Flickr's new redesign sounds pretty cool, but I've moved over to 500px and don't see myself ever coming back. Here's why.

Signin is a Clusterfuck

Oh cool, Flickr redesigned. Let's see what's new. I'll click signin.

Okay, now I'm on a generic Yahoo-branded page. So much for design. Okay, type in username and password and ignore the other crap on the page.
