Great stage for sure. What a pity he felt in the second stage otherwise he'd be a GC contender.

I hope Egan Bernal, Rigo and Quintana stay in the fight.

Great story. Thank you for sharing.

What type of bags did you using to ship your bikes? They seem pretty plain/soft, how did you pack the bikes to ensure they arrived fine to the destination? How happy were you with the orucase?

One more thing. Has anyone heard about anyone using a split keyboard like this?

It seems very interesting.

How difficult is to make the transition from a traditional keyboard to this keyboard (the advantage)? And can you productively switch between them?

I agree with the comments some people have made about the crappy layouts (not sure in the advantage).

How does the screen quality compare with your air?

Thanks for sharing!
Just a little thing: You skipped f> while breaking down the command.

Very useful, thanks. Do you have any way to change the page in the current window remote?

I didn't say :). I ended up getting the 13. It is 300gr heavier than the 11 but still very portable. Battery live is better also.
Make sure you go and try them in the store.

Thanks for the post Salvatore.

I remember asking you via twitter about the MBP11. After your comments I decided to go to the apple store and tried it out. I got really impressed. It was totally possible to code comfortably. The main reasons immo? First, the great quality of the screen. I own myself a 2 year old MBP13 and the difference in quality was huge. It still is with the newer version of the MBP. The second reason is the keyboard. It has a great typing feeling.

Then I tried the MBA13. It was also great. I remember feeling the screen much bigger than it was when switching from the 11 inches.
I had mixed feelings.

I spend most of my time in the console (iterm2/vim/bash/openssh) and browser(chrome). I do some preview also to read papers. But that's it. One of the things I didn't like (I still don't) is how the OS forces you to use spaces if you maximize a window.

I was taking advantage of the full screen mode in snow leopard, but now in lion, if you do that, you get your own space or whatever is called.
Then when switching to another application apple punishes you with a painfully slow animation. It doesn't seem possible to tweak it to make
the animation disappear. It was possible in snow leopard.

The solution for me has been avoiding the full screen mode so all the apps are in one space. The downside of that is that I lose some real state
because of the menu bar.

I purchased the i7 with the 256SDD. I can't complain about the performance. One of the first things I did was to compile all my macports collection
(https://gist.github.com/125... while I was doing some development. I think it took about two hours and I didn't notice any hiccup while coding.
The fan was spinning like crazy though.

I also noticed that the machine does not run particularly hot, something I appreciate, specially when using the laptop in my lap.

Another interesting feature in the new airs is the thunderbolt display. I thought I was not going to care but I recently got my hands in a thunderbolt
27 inches display that I use while I am in the office. I connect the ethernet cable and usbs to the monitor and plug the air via the thunderbolt.
I use a bluetooth apple keyboard which is nice since the layout is exactly the same as in the air (aren't you smart apple?). When I plug my laptop
I just have to connect the thunderbolt and the power adaptor (this one comes out directly from the monitor also).

Is it possible that the link to the second video is incorrect?

Ah beautiful.. great tip.

I had a suggestion for your incoming screencasts (hopefully many more to come).

I think the community would benefit from seeing your interactions with vim while you are doing basic/real tasks (coding for example). I am sure you have a very effective way to work with vim.

What do you think?

Great stuff Drew, keep it coming.

I was wondering, how did you learn know : + up key was bringing the previous command?

Re: Show invisibles

drio — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:56:17 -0000

Make sure you have the blackboard theme in your syntax dir
and then run this in vim:

:colorscheme blackboard

The schema Drew uses (blackboard) can be found here:

Ei Drew, what software did you use to do the screencast?

Re: Cleaning up with Vim

drio — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 15:37:46 -0000

I don't recall seeing that in Spain. Definitely not in the US.
Drew, where are you from?

Nevermind.. Edinburgh... cool.

Do you have your vimrc available somewhere?

Re: Show invisibles

I just came across with your site. I am huge vim fan and I think the site is fantastic.
Congrats. Please keep it coming.
I have questions and comments but I am going to watch all the screencasts
before posting them.

Re: Ruby Best Practices - The Animal raises its head

Why '::ARGV' and not just 'ARGV' as a parameter in:

def self.main(parser = nil, argv = ::ARGV, &class_body)

I am particularly interested in the LSU + processor approach. I can wait to see what comes out of that.

Why is your "no class for individual log entries" test done in java?

Keep it going!

What about this: We create one thread per each input file. Each thread process its file and writes the data from the different transactions in a tmp output dir. Once all the threads are
done processing the input files we can go ahead and merge the tmp files and generate the
final results, that's files containing all the records per each transaction.

Robert,

It is great to be able to follow your developing process. Thanks for taking the time to work on this.

It seems we are going to have to keep all the data in memory until we process all the transaction files. We could run out of memory pretty fast under certain circumstances. What do you think?
