I always thought that if I were ever to write a book on vim, I'd start with a thorough introduction to ed, followed by a thorough introduction to ex, finally followed by a thorough tutorial on all the features of plain-old vanilla vi, only then to introduce the vim parts and macros and graphics and things.
Be careful of the source here. Booker is variously a climate change denier and professional contrarian. He's very smart, but one of those iconoclasts who does get on a high horse. In this case it's worth knowing that he has been crusading against family and other civil court secrecy and rulings for years. ANd it's a worthy cause, but he's nt the world's most level headed journalist: hes sceptical of very reasonable judgements, like 99% of scientists re climate, for example.

In this case, some of his cases (and there are many articles, and they are worth a read) appear to be for good reason, and rthere will be some substance to some of them; but we don't know - which is partly why he rails against them. However, it is clear that he doesn't bring all the facts to our attention (like why the authorities may have had courts rule against unfit, manipulative and dangerous family members). Nonetheless, there is likely significant merit in at least some of his qualms.

Dig deeper using other sources, before coming to premature judgements. These stories are designed, DailyFail-style, to tug at your heartstrings. It's also worth knowing that The Daily Telegraph has always been the UK Rightwing broadsheet, but has since its change of ownership in recent years, turned more to Daily Mail-like reporting and sensationalism. IT has also taken a hard turn to the neoliberal Far-Right (think Brexit), and so you should take its stories with as much caution as perhaps the 'Washington Times', and worse than Murdoch's WSJ. It's not yet as bad as Beitbart, as it still advertises to octogenarian Colonels in Tunbridge Wells, but that may change.

> So check the case coverage on the Guardian. I think except the most recent one they're on there.

The details still seem pretty thin though, and finding a source which reliably summarises quite chunky texts is a job in itself.

For example, here's one ruling linked from the Guardian which implies a very different story to that being told by the press:

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCOP/2012/B31.html

(a quite incredibly poorly-edited or mistyped or, I dunno, redacted ruling at that!)

It doesn't take an age to read, but it does take a good amount of time to digest and understand - and even then you walk away with an incomplete picture.

I'm still on the fence.
> it just doesn't make sense to me.

Here's how to think of Vim that will make sense.

Suppose you have two identical codebases that each need to have the same 200 lines changed. Functions need to be added, comments to be removed, templates need modifying, and so forth. In one of the two codebases, you use Nano to apply those changes. In the second codebase, you use Vim. Assuming the Vim user was proficient at Vim, you can be sure that he/she used 1/3 -> 1/2 as much hand and wrist effort than the nano user to make the same changes. It could be that the effective Vim user ended up using less than 1/2 the hand effort than the nano user.

If you extrapolate this over these two coder's careers, you realize that the Vim user is going to be glad he spent the time learning Vim.

Learning how to use Vim has been so rewarding for me. I love coding in Vim and I love learning new ways of doing things.
I imagine it's to enhance the feeling that the user just quickly popped something open over their search results - designing it to make it 'feel' like a different; faster experience.
It suits Assange's narrative to say its a "state actor", just as it suited Yahoo's board to claim "state actors" as they disclosed their latest breach.

I have a very specific example of jobs for nano vs vim. When I need to copy paste some code into a server and I don't have clipboard access over ssh, nano is better for that than vim, because vim tends to keep tabs indented, so I'll use nano to paste the file into, and then go into vim to edit it. I'm sure there are other examples.

You don't just drop someone without presentation experience onto a stage in front of hundreds or thousands with a laptop and a projector. That's a great way to get negative reviews for the conference from the attendees.

Is Google thinking about this
A ton of plugins... To be honest, I didn't check if Pinta supports those and I rarely use any in Paint.NET.

Being lightweight, quick to start with just the essential features is what I appreciate in both.

It's just that for my simple uses (stitching bitmaps together, resizing, getting color values, pixel-perfect alignment, working with multiple buffers, turning toolbars on/off, editing in layers) Pinta feels much clumsier than its big brother.
> Yet why "previous presenter experience"? If you are afraid of inexperienced speakers to deliver a boring talk, why Not just give them a 10-15 minute slot?

That makes it even less likely that the talk will turn out (as well as complicating the conference schedule). Giving a 30 minute talk is much easier than giving a 10-15 minute talk. "If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; if an hour, I am ready now."

Many conference organizers will give some slots to brand new presenters, especially if the topic seems interesting; they just want a good balance of new and experienced presenters. But a conference that has so many talk submissions that it has to reject incredible talks can afford to be more selective.

Let's apply the same level of rational risk tolerance to nuclear power as we do to all other power sources. Nuclear isn't 100.00% safe, but it's already a lot safer than any other source. People die from falling off roofs when installing solar and nobody bats an eye because shit happens and life goes on. Let's accept that nuclear is extremely (if not absolutely) safe, and make sure we learn from mistakes, accidents and near-misses when they do happen -- like we did (and do) with aviation.
> Like I said above, we can’t even imagine what the economics will look like, just like Tim Berners-Lee couldn’t have imagined the current web 30 years ago. If we stop to worry about fitting the decentralized web into our current economic models, we will trap ourselves in a box.

Oh bollocks. This is just side-stepping the elephant in the room. For the web to work you need machines computing the requests. Either this is done via dedicated servers that someone has to pay for or it is done by the clients, which is unreliable: See Bittorrent, where everything depends on the goodwill of a few people paying for seedboxes (personal computers eating electricity included) or the extreme popularity of the content, content that is not easy to update across the network. And this problem is what drives many of those who care about the network into private trackers.

As for people running their own services, this is at the moment, delusional. John Doe will pick up every time of the day free GMail or Facebook before hosting his own e-mail (even assuming you "fix" the administration overhead) and his own Diaspora node which he has to pay for.

If we want to change this, we need to make personal servers attractive to the average joe with a "killer app" so that the first major block is cleared for users to start installing other things on it. An integral, attractive, and functional IoT solution with a huge fear mongering campaign about privacy is something I've thought of that could be a driver for such a thing, but the likelihood of success is extremely low.

If you don't understand the opposing viewpoint, you can't discuss it with those that agree with it. You're reduced to "no, you're wrong", which is the same viewpoint they have.

Sticking to places that are skewed towards a similar bias as yourself doesn't help you understand those that have differing views to you. It can be especially important to be able to do this when those people are in your family, in order to keep your family together, rather than letting those viewpoints tear you apart.

Ah, that's a pretty decent workaround. Though I'm not a fan of putting encoding encoded information into style sheets, I'm not exactly against it either.

Though the method I wanted to use would work if it weren't for the existing icons symbols inside of sprites, which seems to be only supported in Firefox's CSS.

For example:
```
<svg>
<symbol id="helloworld">[... a bunch of paths]</symbol>
<symbol id="anothersym">[...]</symbol>
</svg>
```

```
label:before {
background: url('/path/to/my.svg#helloworld') no-repeat;
}
```

I could, of course, break the icons out of the symbol tags, as done here:
https://css-tricks.com/svg-fragment-identifiers-work/

It's just disappointing that while referencing symbols works just fine with a <use xlink:href> tag, it doesn't work as a CSS url property value. I'm not sure why that would be.

EDIT: Yes, I'm sorry, I know this isn't Stack Overflow. Though I think the above(without symbol tags of course) may be the best alternative to pure-CSS icons if your graphics are more complicated.
> -At what point on the learning curve do you feel using vim is an advantage for speed of development, if at all?

Text editing is not a bottleneck in my development workflow, so I'd say never. This said, I wouldn't change to a different editor, especially one that doesn't have Vi-like modal editing.

> Is using a mouse such a major factor that slows you down or affects you negatively?

Yes and it's also an ergonomics disaster.

Vim isn't great when it comes to IDE-like features but it's a great text editor once you grok the paradigm. If you use it like a "normal" editor, it kinda sucks. Once you can keep your hands on the home row at all times, you don't want to go back.

Vim's killer feature, not found in any other editor I know, is repeat (.) .

I use vim in tmux with a curses debugger and it gets a lot of IDE benefits but is language agnostic. Changing to a different editor/IDE depending on language/target platform/project just sounds awful.

The thing that helped me most with vi(m) was this change of mindset: don't treat Insert as an alternative mode. Instead, threat the append and insert commands as any other command, just ones that happen to (often) take long arguments, and make it a habit to always terminate those arguments with <esc>.

Last time I heard (about 2-3 months ago) the Ecuadorians had accepted that the swedish prosecutors were present when the hearing took place. They should not be allowed to ask any questions. Questions had to be sent in first and asked by the Ecuadorians.

I don't need to know about a person I have never met or a place I will never go. BUT with the internet I can (on my terms) find out about said person or said place when I need to.

If something is important, a friend or family member will tell me.

Some irony I think: educatable people spend their working lives building retirement plans and associating with like minded others. Then once they no longer work they are in front of a tv (or worse have the TV on all the time at home) watching less minded and less educated and less sophisicated people.

Watching tv is going back in the progress you made building your life. Why on earth would a college educated person watch talk-tv? Its like undoing your entire education.

Wouldn't that be de facto? De jure would mean there is some kind of law. I feel we have the opposite, quickly shifting de facto standards without any place to reference what is "correct" today.
And does it have any teeth? What happens when governments break it?

At least in the United States there's a clear solution to the American government breaking the constitution, and that's an armed revolt as a last resort and a finally new government (but not necessarily new constitution).

I'm absolutely not suggesting Americans do this. it's a just a consequence outlined both in history and the constitution.
>Saying that you can only think about abstract things if you have words for them is tautological since abstractions build on language.

The actual relativist core is not about "only being able to think X if you have words for it" (which is bogus imho), it's about the "language shapes perception" part.

Besides, abstractions are not just built on/from language -- else they would be meaningless names. They are based on experiences -- which are not just experiences of actual tangible things but also of circumstances, common feelings, etc. Freedom for example, while an abstract notion, is painfully "tangible" as an experience when its taken away from you, whether you are Japanese or Irish, etc, so one would expect all cultures to form the relevant words to describe it (and that is the case).

Thus one could think of freedom even without having access to the word -- just by having in his mind the relevant sensation (as a mental picture, etc).

But even more so, a system of language (associated words and notions) also shapes how we approach freedom beyond the basic underlying sentiment.
I think it depends a lot on the kind of problem(s) you are imagining solving. Saving money? Talk to the CFO. Making money? CEO, VP/sales, etc.

Shouldn't be too difficult to surpass by temporarily using mobile data or setting up an antenna for long-range wifi.
Without diving into specifics, I'm usually annoyed by people pitching "we're safer now than ever!" That argument almost always hinges on day-to-day, statistical safety; the most common citations are crime rates and life expectancies. It's a good rejoinder to certain things (like the cable news fixation on kidnappings and murders), but it's a deeply incomplete story.

A lot of the most potent fears are black swan issues - something like bioweapons terrorism obviously isn't going to be reflected in everyday murder rates. Other issues are predictable and measurable, but not yet devastating. Environmental issues - not just warming, but things like drought and antibiotic resistance - are real and obvious problems. The fact that their harms will be suffered in the near future rather than now is no reason to neglect them.

Very simply, the statistical argument for current safety is true but unrelated to a lot of what concerns us.
> You are precisely the kind of person who causes people to question welfare.

Yet basic income has become a large conversation.

> If we stop giving you free food and shelter, and if you want to not starve, you will find a job.

Sure, go do that. I'm not against it, I'm just scared that so many people will starve and not find a job, that those people will start rioting pretty quickly. That's an aspect you don't seem to think about.

> How would you know this? By your words, you have never worked more than a month in your entire life.

Well not getting hired for the same reason is the same thing.
Please excuse typos as I am on phone in the metro

I appreciate that a lot since I was one of the naysayers. Admittedly I was a bitter PPC Mac user upset that we weren't getting attention on the desktop side but I was still worried.

However, even if hindsight is 20/20, I do feel that a lot of the infrastructure and resources necessary for an iPhone were just there already and apple seized an emerging market. With cars I feel that the regulatory, technical, and physical infrastructure for smart cars isn't there yet for anything disruptive. Driverless cars still appear to need a lot of hand holding, and while there will be an investment payout eventually for folks in the game at the moment, I'm not sure it's as great as they are hoping it as soon as they are hoping. In my mind it makes more sense to have an apple iOS port for cars than an iCar. Or set up the infrastructure that driverless car folk are going to want. Siri taxi for example. Siri pizza delivery. Siri breathalyzer and/or drunk talk analyzer and safe delivery to home.

Basically whereas I feel that in the mobile space controlling the hardware 100% make sense, with the cars maybe it makes more sense to just get the software right. Maybe Apple sees the writing on the wall and figures very tightly controlled hardware so not much testing needed/similar performance.

I do this the differences are great enough Between the car and phone research to warrant the move. But maybe once again I'm just bitter Apple isn't paying attention to their desktop line. :p
