I think a good compromise is:
code:
if (thing)
{ doStuff(); }

What about?

code:

if(thing)
{ 
   doStuff(
   ); 
}

Personally I like

code:

if (thing){ 
   doStuff(); 
}

best.

Maybe he has learned and is doing it better now.

Someone pointed out (on hacker news no less) that he is using a deprecated OpenGL API, so I don't think he has learned too much. But maybe he is handing the rest of the coding work over to someone else when the general idea is done?

I do the same thing, put on di.fm in the background to avoid getting distracted by sounds and stuff, it's very relaxing when you learn not to hate electro music.

How safe is it to use an alternate PDF reader? I've been using SumatraPDF with the browser plugin disabled, but all this poo poo has me in -mode

I think Sumatra is currently the best choice for people who just want a PDF reader without all the weird Adobe stuff, it also makes life easier for people who use LaTex.
