This is a must for any engineer. This was my first calculator. I heard the battery lasts for full 3 years. But it lasted a mind-boggling 7 years and still running without any issue. The Best calculator by Far. The ease of use is excellent. Also the buttons are sturdy and built to take up any kind of beating.
It is my first and only scientific calculator. The bill dated 12/July/2004 and its still functioning. What has bowled me over is the price... Back then I bought it for Rs. 850. its available at throw away prices now.
Placed the order for it on Flipkart because the shops & traders here are out on strike over LBT. Got it delivered in just 22 hours, which makes me rethink why do I even need to go out to buy stuff anymore :)
And of course the calculator is nice, does almost everything you'd probably need. It's really just perfect if you don't care about those fancier displays with their fractions and stuff.
If you are a non-engineering student this calculator is the best for you. It has all the basic functions in it. N also some of the higher ones. You don't need to spend much more money for the typical engineering calculators. And if you are an engineering student and cant afford higher calculators, this one can be helpful for you. It's handy, strong and durable too with good battery life.
The calculator is not as sleek looking as some similar products available in the market. But its utility is great and can be used easily. The product was delivered within 3 days of placing the order. I got a bit confused with the on/off button, but was promptly shown by the person who delivered it. The rest was easy. A good value for money.

Position: | Head Coach |
Dave Clarke enters his 14th season as the head coach of the Quinnipiac women's soccer team in 2012.
Without question, Clarke has already left an indelible mark on the Quinnipiac soccer legacy during his tenure in Hamden. In 13 seasons at Quinnipiac, Clarke has posted a 110-106-22 record. The 2011 campaign featured a number of accolades for the Bobcats, despite falling two wins short of another NEC Tournament bid. Under Clarke's tutelage, Kyla Miles and junior midfielder Shauna Edwards were selected to the NEC All-Conference second team, while freshman Jess Lavoie was selected to the NEC All-Rookie team. The women's soccer program also received the National Soccer Coaches Association of American (NSCAA) Team Academic Award for the 2010-11 academic school-year.
In 2010, Clarke led the Bobcats to a 7-7-4 overall record and 5-2-3 mark in Northeast Conference play. Quinnipiac made its second-straight appearance in the NEC Tournament, but was eliminated in penalty kicks in a semifinal match-up against Saint Francis (Pa.). Junior Furtuna Velaj and sophomore Jillian Strassner each received All-Conference honors, while senior defenders Jen Hartman and Kyla Miles were selected to the 2011 NEC All-Tournament team.
Quinnipiac finished the 2009 season at 7-2-1 in the NEC, making its first appearance to the NEC Tournament since 2004. The Bobcats finished the year at 8-7-2 overall and lost in the semifinal round against Monmouth, 1-0. Freshman Jillian Strassner was named NEC Rookie of the Year, while also receiving All-Conference first team honors. Furtuna Velaj and senior Hanne Walleck were also named All-NEC, while Walleck and sophomore Kristina Del Mistro were selected to the NEC All-Tournament team.
In the 2008 season, Clarke coached the Bobcats to a 7-7-2 overall record and just narrowly missed the post-season by four points. Clarke brought in freshman stand-out Furtuna Velaj who led the Northeast Conference in points (31), goals (15) and game-winning goals (7). Velaj was also named to the NEC All-Conference Team at season end.
The Bobcats finished both the 2006 and 2007 seasons with 9-7-2 records and Clarke saw five of his players make it on the NEC All-Conference Team.
Though the Bobcats suffered through an injury-plagued 2005 season while registering a 6-10-3 record, Clarke's squad still performed academically, earning the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award for exemplary performance in the classroom. The team posted a 3.04 grade point average.
In his first season (1999), Clarke led Quinnipiac to a 16-5 record and a berth in the Northeast Conference championship game.
Back in 2000, Clarke led Quinnipiac to the Northeast Conference tournament title and a berth in the NCAA tournament. The women's soccer team was the first of any kind in school history to qualify for the NCAA tournament at the Division I level.
Once Quinnipiac reached the NCAA's, it knocked off Loyola (Md.) by a score of 2-1 in a play-in game. From there, QU lost to Harvard by that same tally in a first round contest.
Under Clarke's guidance, Quinnipiac finished the 2000 season with a 13-7-1 mark.
During that off-season, Clarke was also selected to the USSF National Instructional Staff, the highest level of coaching and educating in the United States.
In 2001, QU went 12-6 and won the Northeast Conference regular season title. Unfortunately, its hopes for a second straight NCAA tournament bid fell short when Quinnipiac lost in the league tournament semifinals.
In 2002, the Bobcats were decimated by injuries, losing several top players for large portions of the season. Nevertheless, the Bobcats were in the hunt for a Northeast Conference playoff spot up until the final weekend of the year. The Bobcats finished the season with a 3-12-1 mark, but were 3-4-1 in Northeast Conference play.
In 2003, the Bobcats just missed out on a NEC tournament bid and closed with a 4-3-2 mark in league action.
In 2004, the Bobcats finished 8-9-2 with a 5-2-2 mark in the Northeast Conference. Quinnipiac earned the fourth and final spot in the NEC Tournament. The Bobcats were defeated in the semifinals by eventual NEC Champion, Central Connecticut State University. Quinnipiac edged CCSU 1-0 during the regular season. In addition, the Bobcats had the NEC Player and Rookie of the Year in Kirsten van de Ven.
Clarke has been recognized for his coaching ability in several levels of play. In September of 2008, Clarke was asked to assist the Irish National Women's Soccer Team when they played in the "Achieve Your Gold" Tournament hosted by the U.S. Women's National Team. Clarke worked directly under the head coach, Noel King, with whom he's had a long-standing relationship in the world of soccer. Clarke's official role under King was scouting and identification of players. It was Clarke's first time coaching at that level, and he was able to help out the Irish team for their three matches against the U.S.
Before Quinnipiac, Clarke served as the head women's soccer coach of the highly-successful University of New Haven program from 1997-99. At UNH, Clarke posted an overall record of 18-14-3 in his two seasons, including an impressive 12-5-1 mark in 1998. As a result, Clarke was named the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Women's Soccer Coach of the Year.
Clarke has been extremely active in both men's and women's soccer in the state of Connecticut. He is a staff coach for the Connecticut Junior Soccer Association and is a License Instructor for the United States Soccer Federation. Clarke was also a staff coach with both Connecticut and Region I Olympic Development Programs. He holds a USSF 'A' License, a National Youth License, the NSCAA Advanced National Diploma and coaching qualifications from Ireland, England and Holland.
Clarke also served as an assistant coach for the Connecticut Wolves A-League Team from 1996-98. Following a successful collegiate playing career at Central Connecticut, Clarke also played six seasons as a professional for the Wolves from 1993 to 1998.
Clarke was also the head boys' soccer coach at Newington High School from 1994-96, winning two consecutive Central Connecticut Conference titles.
A 1992 graduate of Central Connecticut State University, the Ireland native earned a B.S. in physical education. He served as an assistant coach for the Blue Devils from 1991-93. As an undergraduate, Clarke was a three-year recipient of the CCSU Scholar-Athlete Award (1989, 1990, and 1991).
Clarke recently pursued a master's degree in Journalism at Quinnipiac. As part of his program, he interned with the US Men's and Women's National Team, the New England Revolution of MLS and the Boston Breakers of WPS. He received his degree in May of 2010 and is currently using the qualification to teach a section of Quinnipiac's freshman seminar series.
Currently, Clarke coaches the Connecticut FC Under-15 ECNL team and the CFC Elite Academy. Overall, Clarke's teams have won 14 state championships, a USYSA Region I Championship and a USYSA National Championship.
Clarke and his wife Kelly live in Glastonbury with their daughters, Maire, Aine and twins Bridget and Kevin.

The drill works fine. The batteries fail within 3-6 months or less. I am a household user. The last battery I bought lasted 3 months. Sears needs to improve the battery life drastically. Instead of replacing the four batterias I have I opted to buy another brands tools.

I am using 19.2 volt tools since 12 years. Craft tools quality is great. but the 19.2 volts batteries are expensive and Its works less then 12 months. I have many batteries and chargers .the charger which a bought last year it looks like little different . craftsman company have make some special discount program for 19.2 volt batteries existing customers when they are buying new batteries. take the old batteries and give some discount on new purchase.
Clovis, NM
I have had my Craftsman Drill for 8 years. The original batteries finally stopped taking a charge after 7. I bought these replacements and followed the charging instructions. These batteries do not hold a charge or last as long as the originals. After receiving a complete charge, they last about half the time of the originals. Leaving a freshly charged battery out of the drill for about 4 days, it was nearly dead when used requiring another recharge. It's a shame really... I expected more from Craftsman. Others that have the same set-up are reporting the same problem. I will switch to another manufaturer with a proven track record.

Gary Hayes's curator insight,
May 19, 7:47 AM
Quote ""Television is not a device anymore," Mary-José Monpetit, lecturer and pioneering work on social, wireless and multi-screen television at the MIT Media Lab, said. "It's content." "If we talk about using the content to create a community then we are using television content to create a community." Ms. Monpetit noted that there is a disconnect in the experience viewers have on a television and the experience they have online. While there is a connection forming between television watching and the online world there is still no way of making it a seamless experience. So instead of creating a traditional interactive television experience, one of her students at MIT created an app to track Super PACs during the last US Presidential election.
Mattia Nicoletti's comment,
May 20, 2:17 AM
Gary, in your opinion Mary-José Monpetit refers to tv set or television (contents for television)? because tv set in my idea is one of the available screens. In a transmedial point of view tv screen content tells the leading part of the story but even in this case is just a screen.
Julie Eckersley's curator insight,
May 20, 7:26 PM
TV is no longer a device, it is now content around which we can build communiites. I like that thinking @garyhayes Delete the scoop?

Dr. Franz not willing to compromise.... Dr. Franz a extracted a tooth of mine in November of 2008. I was told by the employee at the front desk that my insurance would cover everything 100%. A month later a bill arrived in my mail box. I was shocked & frustrated! When his office called me two times for my six month cleaning I did not return the calls. In early May 2009 a notice was sent to me. It said if did not pay the remaining balance of $50.00 in 10 days the bill would be sent to a collection agency. I called his office to dispute the bill. I said I would pay half of the bill as a compromise. I was told no! The office employee told me I needed to pay the full amount to have any future dental services rendered! I also had two fillings on my upper front teeth in November of 2008. I noticed a week or two after that I started to have sharp shooting pain in my upper jaw that was not real painful. It started to become more painful recently in April of 2009. I was going to tell Dr. Franz about this problem. Since he was not willing to compromise on the monies his office said at first I owed zero and then billed me later. I did not feel he would try to help me out! I plan to find a better dentist in Wichita. I did pay $30.00 dollars and I offered to pay half of the $71.00 and the front desk employee declined any more monies! During my time with her on the phone I was well mannered! I kept my cool. If Dr. Franz was willing to to make a compromise I told him my wife and I would keep him as our dentist. I tried to be fair a he was not willing to settle the matter for $31.50, half of the $71.00. His loss is two loyal clients & thousands of dollars of future dental work! I would not recommend him to anyone! Mark Howard Wichita, KS

Pedro Martinez might have been the most popular person in a Red Sox uniform during the team's morning workout Monday.
The former ace has rejoined the organization that was the beneficiary of most of his glory days as a special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington.
Martinez, who turned 41 in October, has not pitched since 2009, his final season with the Phillies. He last played for the Red Sox in 2004, when he helped them to their first World Series championship in 86 years.
"It's weird," he said of putting on the uniform again. "But it feels like the first day to me. I get so excited to just be part of this team and be part of the tradition that we have here."
Martinez won two of this three Cy Young Awards while with the Red Sox. In his seven seasons in Boston, he went 117-37, a .760 winning percentage, with a 2.52 ERA.
The time was right, he said, to come back. He will be working with the major and minor league pitchers this season and expects to be at Fenway often.
"To be honest, I can't sit still for so long," he said. "I have to work. I grew up working.
"Even though my family needs me and I need my family now, I still need some time to actually go away, have a schedule, have something to do and at the same time be where I like to be, which is in the baseball field."
Martinez said he probably doesn't want to become a pitching coach or manager.

Jonesville Middle School picked up a pair of wins Thursday night when Lockhart Middle came to battle on the hardwood. In a back and forth contest that came down to the last second, the Lady Wildcats took a 17-16 victory. Jonesville's Rye Ray led all scorers with 10 points. Texas Melton chipped in four points for the Wildcats and Vashti Wood added three.
"We saw some things that we did well but we also saw some things that need improvement," said Jonesville Coach Lashon Rogers after the game. "We missed a lot of layups and that's something we'll keep working on. The defensive effort was good tonight and we're happy about the win."
Lockhart was led by Heather Petty with eight points while Shelia Lindsey and Elizabeth Parks each netted four.
In boys action the Wildcats capitalized on costly Red Devil mistakes to snatch a 28-22 win. Lockhart relinquished a seven point halftime lead and had two starters to foul out.
Hunter Plemons paced the Devils with seven points and Ethan Bailey contributed six. Ryan Vaughan tallied four points before being sidelined with five fouls. Dalton Vinson had three points and Zach Gordon added two before joining Vaughan on the bench with five fouls.

Comments about American Drew Bob Mackie Signature Wood Writing Desk in Rosewood:
I love the shape and color of this desk, but it isn't user friendly. The drawers are too small and difficult to open. There is a technology hub with a flap that opens but no holes to put your wires through so the flap has to stay open. the desk shows antique brass dangle drawer pulls like on the end tables and cocktail table, but instead came with bright shiney brass knobs. they look very cheap. It also has a small water mark. Still love the desk, but it needs some improvement for the amount of money.

"Without a doubt we had some operational issues that we have got to take care of," said Gimenez. "We had the longest ballot in Florida history. It probably took voters two and a half times longer to vote individually than they had last time."
For the mayor, who said he was "already knowledgeable" about all the ballot issue, it took him 10 to 15 minutes to get though the entire ballot. "Could you imagine," he said, "someone who didn't know everything on that ballot?"
Though the mayor said he is convening a special panel to look into the election issues, one reason the mayor volunteered was fewer days of early voting.
"We also had fewer days of early voting," Gimenez said. "That was changed by the state legislator and signed into law by the governor. We need to expand early voting hours again like we had in the past. We also need to expand the number of early voting sites."
Carolina Lopez, Miami-Dade County Election department spokeswoman, told reporters Thursday in Doral, Florida, that their department worked through the night to process all the 21,500 absentee ballots.
Those ballots, she said, will be "processed very shortly."
"I believe that when you're the largest county in the state of Florida, history will put all eyes on us," Lopez said. "But the important thing is just to keep on, giving the best performance that we can, providing accurate results so that they're not scrutinized later. I think when it's all said and done, our 1.3-million registered voters will have solid results and we can move past the presidential election."

This Stock is Riding High
Sonam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) investors can look forward to a cheer-filled holiday season. With its stock price reaching an all-time high, it seems like the good times have already began. Wal-Mart is confident about the coming season, and that is clearly reflected in its decision to order double its number of tech products, such as iPads and tablets. It is rumored that the company already has orders for certain products in place.
Planning ahead
In order to cash in on the holiday season ahead, Wal-Mart has planned a new marketing and expansion strategy that focuses on growth and leverage.
For one, the U.S. giant plans to maintain its current pace by adding more than 120 supercenters to its current floor space in the next fiscal year. Supercenters are hypermarkets and there are currently more than 3,000 Wal-Mart supercenters in the U.S.
Small is Powerful!
Not only that, the company aims to speed up the rollout of stores, such as Wal-Mart Express and Neighborhood Market, by adding nearly 100 more stores by 2014. This will help the multinational compete against smaller chains, such as drug stores and local dollar stores. It will also mean less money being spent on opening more stores.
Neighborhood Markets are small stores under the Wal-Mart umbrella that take up floor spaces of around 42,000 square feet each. These sell a variety of products ranging from groceries, to cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. There are currently over 160 Neighborhood Markets in the U.S., a figure is likely to exceed 500 by the end of 2016.
Wal-Mart Express stores are mostly located in smaller cities and are smaller than Neighborhood Markets. Wal-Mart plans to end this fiscal year with a total of 12 stores in the country.
Got a couple of hours?
Further, Wal-Mart has decided to spend more on its e-commerce department, an initiative that has been highly profitable for the company. It has recently started "Wal-Mart To Go," an online facility that promises same day delivery on online purchases, at a fee of $10. This facility is currently operational only in certain cities in the country including Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis. For the purpose of delivering the products within a few hours of ordering, Wally World has chosen to work with UPS.
Darn! What do we do now?
Many believe that this might be a source of concern for online chains such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).
Amazon had tried same day delivery service, but does not seem too optimistic about expanding the facility nationwide, citing financial constraints as the main reason. The world's largest online retailer said it was trying to find a more economical way to facilitate deliveries the same day.
Amazon investors, thus, may have something to worry about. Despite its plans to add around 18 distribution centers this year, Amazon's total count would still be negligible as compared to Wal-Mart. While Amazon has around 40 distribution centers in the U.S., Wal-Mart has more than 3,000 stores which can serve as distribution centers, which in turn would mean faster delivery. To make things worse, the Seattle based company is already facing threats from other retailers such as Best Buy and Target who are embarking on a price-matching game with Amazon, starting this November. This could spell bad times for Amazon's investors.
On the other hand, eBay investors need not worry too much about Wal-Mart's entry into the same-day delivery area. The online auction site tried the same facility earlier this year in San Francisco via a mobile app called "eBay Now." With free delivery on the first three orders and $5 thereafter, eBay Now facilitates deliveries from local stores. Unlike Amazon, eBay seemed positive about the same day facility and has plans to expand soon. eBay recorded a strong third quarter with revenue climbing by 15 percent as compared to the same period last year. Of all new eBay users, nearly 800,000 in the third quarter were mobile users. Further, eBay works mainly as a selling forum with online auction bidding as its main focus, an area where it commands the highest market share.
Foolish Bottom Line
Whether Wal-Mart does well with the same day delivery option feasible or not, only time will tell. What I do feel, however, is that the company will do well, given its plans for the future coupled with its position among its competitors. Wal-Mart investors can be rest assured. This stock isn't going to fall anytime soon!

Dr. Timothy Hoops
Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am writing on behalf of my brother. He is 58 years old and has never had a colonoscopy. My mother had breast cancer that metastasized to her colon, requiring a colostomy. She died in 1984. My father has recently been diagnosed with colon cancer detected on a colonoscopy. He only had that one because he had two episodes of bleeding. The GI physician, after performing the colonoscopy, told my two brothers that they should both have colonoscopies immediately. My older brother got a referral from his PCP to see a GI physician, had the consultation with the GI doctor, and set a date for a colonoscopy. He was contacted earlier this week and told that the insurance company is denying payment for the colonoscopy. They said they would only pay for it if there was "active bleeding." What should he do in this situation? He obviously needs the colonoscopy with such a strong family history and being 58 years old, and his PCP agreed, or he would not have referred him in the first place. What can anyone do in a situation such as this?
Thank you,
Dr. Timothy Hoops, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
Dear MB,
Coverage of colonoscopies by insurance companies has become an increasingly larger problem. Many companies are now covering "screening" colonoscopies for patients that are not above average risk for the disease. The rationale is that this procedure is more complete. It may also be safe to do this procedure once every 10 years. People who have a family history of colon cancer such as your brother have an increased risk for the development of colon cancer reaching 10 to 15% over their lifetime. Most gastroenterologists would recommend a full colonoscopy for these patients as the entire colon can be evaluated and if polyps are found, they can be removed. Alternative recommended screening methods include flexible sigmoidoscopies every 5 years and annual tests for occult blood in the stool. The opinion of many experts is that this may be a somewhat less effective method for screening these patients with an increased risk for colon cancer.
Unfortunately, health care insurers use many criteria to determine how they cover certain services. Discussion of the specific issues regarding risk may cause them to change their policy for an individual. It should be stressed that any symptom such as a change in bowel habits or any rectal bleeding can then be used as a justification for the procedure. Finally, it is our hope that these policies will be changing in the near future as more public support is generated for better screening techniques.
Dr. Hill-Kayser talks about working in oncology care and how her line of work can be particularly rewarding. Read more.

I have been writing code so far in conventional text editors that come with the OS so far or use an IDE in some cases. I know there are some advanced text editors like Emacs
and Vim
available solely for the purpose of coders. How important are they really, should a programmer dealing with PHP
, Pyhton
etc. learn these editors? What are the advantages that they provide over conventional editors like Notepad++
, Scribes
Vim is a really good tool once you familiarize yourself with it. It starts up faster than any IDE or text editor I've used, and it has syntax highlighting and it indents the code correctly in most cases. It also helps you focus on the coding process itself, you won't be using the mouse at all to deal with it, that'll save you a lot of time when you're just writing code. It has a wealth of plugins for whatever it is you're doing, as well. I haven't used emacs to be honest, but I'm sure there are people here who like it, I personally don't like having to press Ctrl or Alt all the time. Edit Vim's usefulness also depends on what you're writing. If you're an API developer (Java, C#...etc) you'll most probably be more comfortable with an IDE. But if you write scripts (Bash, Perl...etc), Vim might be the way to go, since you need to write something fast, Vim is fast, and does everything you need. |
A programmer should not necessarily learn a lot of tools, but learn a few and learn them well. Emacs and vim each have their distinct strengths but unless you use them a lot on a regular basis you will not benefit enough from them, I think. Especially not if you are a learning programmer. You will, however benefit from a good IDE, but you should also be able to do real work just given a plain, simple editor. |
Importance of |
Are you a fast touch typist? Do you often wish for more keyboard shortcuts to make edits? Does the time you spend editing interrupt your train of thought? Do you find little things about your editor that you wish you could customize to work just the way you like it? Do you not mind spending potentially a lot of effort up front if it means it will save you more time and effort in the long run? Are you unbothered by people considering you anachronistic? If so, then vim may be a good fit for you. Do you prefer to be able to figure out your editor without reading the manual, even if that means fewer features? Are you more comfortable using what everyone else in the office is using? Do you use the mouse for everything? If so, then vim may not be a good fit for you. |
"Must a programmer learn text editors like Emacs and Vim?" No. I feel obliged to qualify that, but actually it doesn't need it. So I won't. |
No If you want to learn how to use them, don't do it in a production environment. Do it on your downtime or time set aside specifically to get used to writing code on them. When you get more experience, introduce it to your environment but keep the program you are used to near by. I kept frontpage near by when I decided to transfer to a pure text editor, until I was confident enough that I no longer needed it. |
I think that learning Emacs (and probably Vim as well) is very useful. Why? Simple: I can use the same exceptionally capable editor for more or less everything I do. This is great because I am a student, constantly learning how to use shiny new things. This year, I played around with Haskell, did a ton of JavaScript, used Scheme, wrote some Java, screwed around with Perl, worked on a web site... Emacs was great for all of this. In the past, I had some problems with different languages: I would pick up Perl or Python, but could not find a good editor for either. Now, I know I can always use Emacs. Of course, sometimes Emacs does not have all the features I want, but it always has enough features off the bat to use for quick projects. For longer projects, it may need some customization, but the time taken to do that is probably equal to getting and learning a new IDE. In short: Emacs is great because it supports so many different languages, and is powerful enough even without support for a specific language to make life much better. |
Nowadays popularity of various kinds editor worship most likely comes from Pragmatic Programmer book, or, to be precise, from readers who mindlessly crammed Chapter 3 Basic Tools -> Power Editing -> One Editor but totally missed the key (pragmatic!) takeaway laid out in Preface chapter: If one gets the general understanding like above, this alone makes the book worth reading. Main idea to keep in mind is one that authors stated clearly and unambiguously, "there is no such thing as a best solution". |
There are at least three reasons why a newly minted programmer might choose to spend some time learning emacs and vi:
Now then, is it important to learn vi and/or emacs? I'd say that it's useful to know something about both of them, especially so that you know at least a bit if you ever find yourself needing to use them (you might). But not knowing them won't necessarily hold you back. It's much more important to know how to wield the tools that you use daily as effectively as possible. * That's not a typo -- you'll get it after you spend your first hour with vi. |
Neither emacs nor vi are solely meant for coding; they just happen to support features that make writing code a little easier. vi's sole virtue is its ubiquity; any Unix or Linux-based system is going to have an implementation of vi. It's light-years friendlier than TECO was, but so's using an Etch-a-Sketch. That said, vi is my primary editing tool in a terminal session, simply because I never had the bandwidth to learn it and emacs at the same time (and emacs has too damned many keycode combinations). You don't need to learn either tool; there are other quality text editors out there that support many of the same features in a friendlier format. |
If you need to learn an editor for programming, make it emacs. Why? If I need to make an rpm and I open emacs, and tell it to find a file which happens to end with the extension .spec WHAM! A skeleton file appears with all the tags and macros already filled in with text color-coded. And if I want to submit to my favorite version control, esc-x load-library mercurial (or git or svn) puts emacs in the mood to drop down the right commands from its version control menu or to recognize the commands like ctrl-x v v to check in or out code from a repository, and to do everything one can do with a repository. Optic fatigue occurs when one stares at the same colors for too long. I use konsole for terminal windows and change the colors frequently. With emacs not in a terminal window, I have more than 50 color themes to choose from, some of them comfortably low contrast, like Alice Blue, and some eye-stabbing like euphoria for when I need to stay awake. I code a lot of python. When I need to test some coding for syntax, I don't leave emacs. I start the Python interpreter, and the screen splits, then I save my python file and import it to the interpreter to check syntax--an error will be readily apparent, and I can fix it immediatelty. When I am done, I can switch to an unsplit window and continue work. Some folk say use vi, and I do use it on some older SUN systems... I have a regular rhythm--hit i and insert a char then hit escape and hit i again and type the next char... (barely better than ed, but it is what's available). Usually my first install on any new system is zile. GNU zile is emacs without all the window dressing like browsing and email and irc and colors, just a C-coded binary that works in about 100k and uses emacs keycodes. If emacs were as onerous as most try to make it sound, it should be amazing that so many folk were gluttons for self-flagellation by making emacs-like editors. MINCE Is Not Complete Emacs, the 31 flavors of micro-emacs, Jed, Zile, Joe and an oddball python coding or two plus web-based YMacs, are all emacsen. peppy http://peppy.flipturn.org/ is a different take, using emacs keycodes and coded in Python and it will edit nigh on everything, including chunks of binary data, and it has dozens of modes for programming languages, but its keycoding paradigm is emacsen. YEah, emacs is worth learning, and so is vi. Of the rest, maybe Eclipse is as useful, if you can stand the hoggishness of its many inserts. And if you need something REALLY small, lightweight, and fast, check out e3. The x86 version is written in assembler and serves many keycode sets including Emacs and Vi. https://sites.google.com/site/e3editor/ And oh yes, I open emacs, type 17 pages, and BLAP! Lightning strikes and my power goes out. When power is restored, I look at the work and discover I lost the last 7 characters I typed.... And if I decide to follow the "recover crashed session" procedure, I can reduce it to 2 lost. Python code doesn't believe in indentation, it DEPENDS on them. Emacs is aware of that and makes sure your indentation is proper. But if you decide to remove an "if" you will have a whole region in the wrong indentation status. With emacs you fix that by: ctrl-space and arrow keys to highlight the region ctrl-c < to outdent all the highlighted code. (ctrl-c > indents it again, correctly). I think I have used more than 60 editors, and still the one I come back to is emacs, not because I can get function code stubs in C or proper indentation or color-coding, but because I can customize it beyond its already awesome capabilities. Richard Stallman's brainchild was adapted by so many... |
You don't need to learn Vi or Emacs, you need to learn your tools. Imagine a sniper who doesn't know well the downsides and capabilities of his rifle, he would not be a good sniper ? Would him ? So go ahead and find an editor you like, you might like Emacs, Vim, Textmate, Sublime Text... heck, maybe you don't like any of them and you are OK with Nano, but what matters is that you are comfortable with your tools. |
First things first. VIM is more productive for programming than Eclipse or . Your personal productity in VIM may be abysmal, but the potential cap of VIM is much higher. This is a fact. VIM is a martial art. It feels unnatural when you first use it. And you can't even make it work. It takes years of practice to gradually become productive. You focus on mastering a little detail at first. Slowly all these bits you master add up until text is flowing effortlessly out of your finger tips onto the screen. Complicated edits that would make your co-worker sigh will jump from your hands before he can finish his exhale. There are few people who can use VIM. Fewer who can use it productivley. And you may never meet a master in your life time. But they are rumored to exist. VIM is designed to keeep your hands on home-row. Moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse is demoralizing. It's a gross motor movement. Moving your arm has a phsycological effect that hurts your motivation. Using VIM, someone could bolt your wrists onto the keyboard and you could still easily open up files, split windows, open tabs, build the project, search/replace, change fonts, change colors, etc. And all at lightning speed. VIM is modal. That means you don't have to do complex key combinations where you hold down control+shift+Key. This hurts your hands in the long run. Instead you execute commands. There is no need for key combos to due to the modal nature. We store data in our memory like computers do. Our memory can only hold a few values at a time. See how many distinct integers you can hold in your head before they start to slip away. We overcome this human limitation by writing stuff down. If data falls out of our memory we can easily look at what we wrote down to get it back. If your time is spent doing gross motor, physical things you are losing time that could have been spent on processing data in your brain. You want your mind to flow onto the screen without any effort at all. It may not sound like much but VIM's ability to effortlessly transfer what is in your mind to the screen is a BIG productivity boost. It's hard to put in words what I'm trying to say. VIM supports code completion. Both textual and look-up based. It can pull text from mulitple files. Anything you desire can be had in VIM. Either make it yourself or use something someone else cooked up. VIM supports goign to definitions with ctags. You can also find all references of an item. Again, anything you desire can be had in VIM. The scripting of VIM is huge. You can download or create thousands of color schemes and change colors in an instant. Try to change fonts or colors in Microsoft Visual Studio and it will hang for 20 seconds while it loads data. It won't let you store color schemes and you must spend 30 minutes tweaking your colors and fonts every time you want a change of scenery. In VIM you can set line spacing to zero to fit more lines of code on the screen. I get over 80 lines. Visual studio uses 2 pixels of spacing for every line and you can't adjust it!!! Less lines = more scrolling = less productivity = forced to use small fonts for more lines = eye strain. Split windows are opened in an instnat in VIM. It's usefull when you need to look at data in one section of the code that's far from the place you are typing (or in a different file). You don't have to spend time resizing windows, or worry about GUI windows overlapping each other and falling behind each other. Un-related code windows can be opened in tabs as to not take up screen space, but allow quick switching.
