You missed the point of those koans. Vim can use external tools like awk to edit CSV and markdown to process markdown. The author was discouraging use of vim itself for things like that.

Edit: And I missed the point of your comment.

It matters from a security perspective. A bad or inconsistent URL, especially a hostname that isn't instantly recognizable, makes phishing easier.

They'll have to add that to the unit tests.

The client-side approach would work great if they didn't try to cram in so many features.

TED can't show this because they're supported by advertisers, which means they'll never really be free to spread ideas if they go against the will of these companies: http://conferences.ted.com/TED2012/sponsors.php

It doesn't matter whether you agree with a company's technical choices, whether it's Paydirt, Microsoft, or anyone else. If you don't like their choices, you're free to not use their software.

There's definitely a better context than social: personal. You are not your friends.

For me, Hulu's death came when they added subscriptions, but still forced subscribers to watch ads.

I'm a Hulu Plus subscriber and $7.99/mo with ads for TV is still way better than $50+/mo with ads for TV.

I tried out the Hulu Plus free trial, and I cancelled it within two days. Illegally downloading my tv shows onto a foreign seedbox, transfering them home, ripping out the audio and video from a matroska container, converting audio into xbox compatible format, repackaging into mp4 container, hosting a dhcp server, connecting my xbox to my laptop, then streaming video to it is actually far less stressful than trying to watch them on Hulu. However, if they're on Netflix, I would watch them on there.

The site's way too wide on my netbook, 1024x600. Also, the list of domains removed from the results covers up part of the results themselves.

Writing skills are always relevant. The lack of them in this article made me stop reading before getting to any actual content.

Indeed, and I'm not demanding that people be novelists or anything, you just have to master basic punctuation and spelling to make the reader's life easier.
