Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Created November 19, 2012 11:34
A very simple implementation of the Java Future interface, for passing a single value to some waiting thread. Uses a CountdownLatch to ensure thread safety and provide blocking-with-timeout functionality required by Future. Cancellation isn't supported.
public final class ResultFuture implements Future<Result> {
private final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
private Result value;
@Override
public boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning) {
return false;
}

A simple thread-safe queue implementation based on std::list<> and C++11 threading primitives.
// A simple thread-safe queue implementation based on std::list<>::splice
// after a tip in a talk by Sean Parent of Adobe.
//
// Uses standard library threading and synchronization primitives together
// with a std::list<> container for implementing a thread-safe queue. The
// only special thing is that the queue uses std::list<>::splice in the
// locked region to minimize locked time.
//
// Also implements a maximal size and can thus be used as a buffer between
// the elements in a pipeline with limited buffer bloat.
