eh, It has ⌘B - it's an IDE
Comment on: Favorite IDEs?
emacs - fuck your vim
sublime text (useful in OS X as it ties in with all the sleepy-power-features, you never have to save anything and whatever)
I do use vim on occasion though, with I had more occasion to use it (more for structured file editing I like it) also intellij IDEA
Comment on: Advice on building a portfolio on GitHub to show potential employers? Having a bit of trouble doing it by myself, so help is much appreciated
no unix skills, can't even git - well, learn first, before you make a portfolio.
Stick ubuntu on your fucking computer - FYI, my macbook from '08 is blazing fucking fast and I develop loads on it and it runs Yosemite. My rMBP is awesome an all but realize that plastic laptops are a false economy.
Now go get a $5 USB stick and run lubuntu on your fucking shitty laptop and go through a 101 git/github tutorial and then look at a good solid "branch merge and patch" workflow for git.
Comment on: Is there a true random number generator?
There's some that use atmospheric noise / radiation and other sources - but if you know the sources you might even be able to guess at what they were using.
Comment on: Jump Threading: a compiler optimization that turns conditional into unconditional branches on certain paths at the expense of code size
People spending days writing self modifying code just to squeeze that last few hundred bytes out to make the program fit.
Those were the days.
Comment on: Sometimes a bug is hit only after code was executed 100 000 000 000 000 (100 trillion) times -- Spotify's underflow bug
Before we dive into why it doesn’t work
This is the dumbest fucking "look how clever I am" shit, that's why it's shit.
Comment on: SourceFoundry.org open-source typeface designed specifically for use in source code
Which in turn is akin to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono - brilliant for use in emacs.

I for one welcome our new moderator overlords.

That's all well and good, but to quote Chris Rock:
Java is the highest paying that I've seen, by far (and much higher than on this list)
But I concede it might have a higher deviation because it's used so much, so the average counting a variety of work might be lower, but when considering a higher tier of work only, it's probably the highest.
