I try not to use vim plug-ins where built in functionality will suffice. I’ve trained vim’s default behaviour into my muscle memory so I’m fine with it. In fact, I used plain old vi (technically Keith Bostic’s nvi [1]) for years and sometimes I find myself preferring it.

I think a lot of people who use vim end up with a ton of unnecessary plugins and they aren’t even aware of half the functionality of plain vi. I might just be a weird minimalist though.

An existing community (like Medium or Substack) can help gain readership, else you're on your own to promote your content.

I recently came across a popular new blogging platform - Hashnode. It has a decent balance between ownership (sync to repo) and distribution (their community).
0. Set up git. Not always easy on a public computer.

There are other prerequisites. I wrote up a guide a few years ago https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2014/04/submitting-trivial-linux-ke...

5. Go back and forth discussing the patch. Let other people contribute. Significantly easier on GitHub/Lab.
Looks very nice! You mind me asking why you’re not creating a separate GitHub-Repository for this (or your other projects)?

I use GitHub stars as a kind of bookmark for interesting libraries that I’d love to try out at some time in the future, so I’d love to give yours a star, but it’s not a standalone repo :(
Ditto. Works as is on Firefox 80. No need to edit the URL. It is however not clickable, but you can select it and click "open in new tab" and it opens the PDF just fine.
Movies formulated for mass appeal and merchandising.

Theme parks that must remain open.

A back catalog of tens of thousands of movies made since 1924 exclusively available through your Disney+ membership.

Increasingly, all of American pop culture, super heroes, and sci-fi mythos.

It's a bland brand, but I'm not sure Netflix is any better with their willingness to fund shows only as long as the cost to viewer ratio is low.

I really want to disrupt these hulking media buffet companies.
We have “Iarlaith” in Irish which I believe is cognate with it.
I don't see any evidence of hot wiring. In my book, hot wiring would be decentralized access over unconventional transport like long range radio or plain old telephones or a relay of wifis or satellites in a way that can't be easily restricted by a government.

But Telegram is just part of the same old centralized server approach.

> When you're dealing with a new disease there are no best practices for treatment.

That doesn't give you carte blanche to claim that your drug does wonderful things for condition X when the evidence supporting your claim is non-existent, extremely weak, or obviously fraudulent.

> That's why doctors have to use their best judgement and try different things and write down what seems to work and what doesn't.

Which is completely different to POTUS recommending HCQ because he or his friends have financial interest in a company that makes that drug.

It's also extremely negligent to try popularising a particular drug which is already in short supply and needed by people with existing life-threatening conditions. If something looks promising, you finance some trials to provide more certainty, and then you look at ways to ramp up production because you know demand is going to increase.
Now that's an idea. Haskellers routinely use x' as a variable name, but ẋ and x̃ are also valid ones!
It's interesting that the "not enough scope" issue can also happen at the CEO level.

My naive view was that CEO is in charge of everything, and thus have practically maximum scope. It turns out that is only the case for CEO who wants to stay with the company for a long time. For CEO who doesn't treat the company as their baby, they can potentially focus more on "building a resume" so they can move to be a CEO of a bigger company.

My suspicion is that Kevin Mayer had no intention to stay with TikTok for long in the first place. He just want to demonstrate that he can run a global company, and then jump ship to some other place.

The main problem with emojis (usage of them aside) is that while they are characters, they do not work in the same way as other characters. Smileys are composed of symbols right at your fingertips. Native emoji keyboards are severely lacking - typing them is a lot different than text. The worst part is that while fonts exist since forever, the emoji generation forgot all the engineering put into it and no font tooling works with emojis. Whatever font setup you have, it goes down the drain once emojis are in the text, because emoji glyphs come not from your font setup, but from within the rendering application.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. I have a lot of keybindings but I always make sure I can survive without them, such as by dropping into vanilla vim to once in a while to do work and ensuring I'm not completely lost. A user in the vim subreddit refers to this as 'sharpening the saw'.
Trump is down 10+ points in the polls. That’s what this is about and TikTok only needs to run out the clock to the 2nd week of November at which point this whole thing will go away for them.
Is renaming Git master branches for inclusive language reasons going overboard?
One of the reasons I still run some servers and play with networking gear at home, even when SaaSes, Linode, and EC2 are so affordable, is as an exercise in being somewhat more self-sufficient, than depending on "other people's computers" for everything.

Especially since my entire industry seems determined to see how far it can push spying on its users, leveraging power over them, etc. (All evidence is: no real limit yet.)

Also, it's just fun to play with gear.

Currently, I want to engineer for reliability, audible noise, power consumption, and price. (Will a RasPi with its SD card and wallwart be reliable enough? What about an Atom box, with Noctua fans, and mirrored 2.5" drives? Do I really want a pfSense box and some external WiFi APs, or can I make OpenWrt on plastic home routers do everything, and isn't Ubiquiti gear pretty but closed? Remember the price doubles if I want to have cold spares. Has the novelty of the big blue Palo Alto Networks box worn off yet? Can I discreetly mount my rack console in my living room IKEA, without a deep 4-post cabinet, nor the official rails kit?)

Why should you buy ‘Advanced Glucafix?
GlucaFix

The reason why I feel this product is the most applicable for all is that it is the safest and effective product in the market today. Nowhere else will you find such a great product with such good qualities. When we see other people buying all those fake supplements, it is really sad to see their money being wasted.Unlike other supplements, Advanced Glucafix has been made with the most strict quality and quantity controls that help us distinguish why this is better. It has no reported side-effects and the only thing that people have experienced is its benefits and results.They say that they did not have to visit a doctor, go to the gym, quit their favorite foods, continuously workout, or stay on a diet 24*7. People can completely be themselves. Besides, there is no age restriction or some rules. All you need to do is just consume it regularly and you are done!

I think that with court proceedings and media stunts TikTok can run out the clock to November 5th at which point the cat will forget about this ball of yarn and go off in search of some other laser pointer.

The stated issue is that TikTok may share American user data with China and that there’s not any real way for the US to prevent this possibility. So it’s seen as a national security issue that the Chinese govt could track Americans. TikTok has insisted that there’s no way that user data could be shared with the Chinese govt but I think US regulation bodies and intelligence do not buy it.
> What makes this OK and where does it end?

What makes it okay is that intellectual property can be copied infinitely without depriving the original owner of it, and the fact that they refuse to sell it to you means you're not even depriving them of potential income, so there's no way of claiming there was any damage done.

It ends when you start talking about actual property that has limited physical supply. Intellectual property isn't real. It naturally has infinite supply, so its market value should be zero.

Fake Call Applications For Android users in 2020
Hopefully your surname isn't easily mistaken for a given name. I've been living in Hong Kong almost 9 years now, and my middle name is often mistaken for my first name, or less commonly, my surname.

Based on my experience, "Lee Ryan" would probably be mistaken for "Ryan Lee" well over 50% of the time.
OK, at least they are not claiming 10x increases in fuel economy anymore, it reduced to the more reasonable 5x, which is sorta believable, especially since most of the affordable jets are not using latest generations of jet engines.

Let me guess: the catch is the high maintenance cost of the piston engine.

> They'd say "why don't we just use Google Meet, like we do for everything else? Is there something wrong with your mic? I don't understand."

Okay, that's the first real, valid argument I've seen against a phone call. I had no idea that these services had penetrated so far that they are normalized.

However, not all of us operate in "developer-only" land. People external to the company (at least, prior to Covid) would have phones but almost certainly not a "conferencing app". So, giving out your number would be a fairly normal thing to do in the course of business so giving it to colleagues would not be considered unusual--at least in the US.
I'm aware that .net is cross platform, however there is the issue that C# apps that use WinForms or WPF aren't cross platform, or at least that was the case the last time I checked.

I am curious as to whether the F# ecosystem is similarly fragmented by Windows-only libraries.
Yes Trump is probably using this as political leverage, but the US being concerned about Chinese govt possibly spying on Americans using Chinese companies dates back to the late 2000s. Cynically dismissing it as a Trumpian fluke masks the prior art/implies there’s no issue whatsoever.

Edit: clarification.

But they _are_ having a decidedly negative effect on efficiency, and they’re still destroying machines when they said they were going to pause all changes. We shouldn’t just wait for it to get worse.
The Resolution of Keller's Conjecture
Well, we have other platforms to look at. Android, Windows, MacOS - they all seem to be fine regarding this issue. Not great, but not bad either, while offsetting the bad with their openness.

The open web also exists and somehow doesn't need full moderation for people to be, one the whole, relatively safe there.

O think, the situation with App Store looks like there are parental controls that are always on, and the parent is Apple. And sure, it can be fine, until the parent becomes abusive or until the child becomes (in this case the user base on the whole) smarter and more prepared for what's out there.
This analysis only covers USPS package delivery, which is different from flats. Ballots are flats. Magazines are flats. Letters are flats. Anything non-bendable isn't.

This is what has been happening to USPS, folks:

1. Because of COVID19, flats volume has collapsed, while package volume has skyrocketed. Flats sorting machines can do absolutely nothing for packages for reasons that are left up to the reader, so USPS has been shutting them down and moving them out of processing facilities in favor of package sorting.

2. Because USPS is losing lots of money overall (higher package volume doesn't make up for the collapse in flats volume)[1], it has been cutting back on overtime, just like any other employer would.

3. People hear about 1 and 2, hear about/experience packages being delivered more slowly, and think that this surely means that "the Trump administration is trying to sabotage the post office to suppress voting!!!!". They do this without thinking about it at all:

3a. As stated, flats volume has collapsed, so there is still a lot of excess capacity.

3b. Even if every single voter were to vote by mail only, this would mean at most two additional flat pieces per voter (one ballot to the voter, and one ballot sent back). Think about how much mail (not packages, mail) you already receive daily on average. Do you really think two additional pieces would collapse the system? Of course not, any more than the USPS collapses every January when the IRS and every single employer, bank, and other financial institution sends out tax-related documents. (The USPS hires seasonal help in December for packages, not for Christmas cards.)

3c. If this really were a sinister Trump administration voter-suppression scheme, it's a pretty weak one that can be defeated by dropping ballots off in person, and/or voting in person.

4. An actual serious issue is states and counties that aren't like Oregon (which has been 100% vote by mail for two decades) trying to convert to vote by mail without preparation. Think of how much mail your home receives for the previous tenant (and the one before that, and the one before that). Think of this all having to be done by early October, to give voters about a month to receive and return ballots. This is what the administration has been pointing out, something rarely heard amidst the nonsense about mail-vote suppression.

[1] Congress mandating the USPS to prepay pensions is a good thing. The postal service is an industry that is, by definition, in secular decline (barring unusual events like COVID19) because of the Internet. Congress recognized this in 2006 and thus required USPS to prepare over 10 years to get its pensions ready, because there's no reason to believe that future revenue (and future employee-count growth) is going to sustain pensions for retirees otherwise.

They operate under the rules of a powerful political jurisdiction which is not particularly friendly to the US.

Here's a simplified version of how the government thinks about it:

If Facebook has data on a government employee, it's not a big deal, because Facebook stores that data in the US, and is friendly to the US, and if they do anything bad, they ultimately answer to the laws and regulations of the US government. These things are not necessarily the case for TikTok data.

This is pretty much the first time that a service operated under the laws of a US rival has become popular in the US.

As someone who uses Vim daily, I quite like this idea. I would customise it to mimic the original Vim bindings a bit more closely where possible though, to e.g. keep Ctrl-D as page down.

I'm not sure if this would be possible, but it would be fun to have customisable per-application bindings (based on the active window, probably) in addition to the set of global bindings. I can also think of minor cases where motions would be useful, like 3x alt-tab (i.e. 3gt) to switch to a specific application.

I wonder at what point the depth of the mode-ness will become too much, if you were running this, for example, with a vi-mode bash readline.
The most likely reason is that they are very close to a deal (to sell the US operations) and the buyer wants him out.

On remapping caps:

ctrl-[ is escape in terminals by default.

It’s often easier to map caps to ctrl than escape when pressed and ctrl when held. Most OSs support that without extra software.

Even in Vim it’s still very useful to have a convenient ctrl key. A lot of useful features make use of Ctrl in Vim.

On remapping leader:

Remapping to spacebar means your thumbs are dedicated to that operation. That’s more balanced left-right for touch typing.

Also you get to keep the default behaviour.
This would be more believable, but when Trump can’t do something simple like repeal DACA. How do you think he could shutdown the internet?

Nah. It took a whole bunch of incompetent users who gave away their integrity for a few likes and pet videos.

Pretty much same thing as complaining about bad leaders when the sheeple putting in the bad votes is the actual problem.
Cool to have some “observability” on this, but it’s not the most relevant metric. I’ve heard of (and experienced myself), much, much longer delays on envelope/letter mail, but have heard of fewer delays with packages.

Perhaps this is a proxy for measuring personnel/process changes, but totally misses the sorting machine dismantling going on throughout the nation.
I have Windows 10 Pro. It is horrible. And, I have no choice in any of it.

Advertisements pop up at random times. I am constantly turning things off, and they get turned back on again. I am diligent about checking for updates at the end of my work day, and then turning off scheduled updates. I cannot afford to wait for a "Do not turn off your computer" screen.
Which aircraft were actually designed with X-plane, and why? I've heard this several times but that never made sense to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if their blade element theory approach is superior to whatever Microsoft is doing (not familiar), but still both of those are optimized for realtime simulation, not for correctness.

When I wanted to analyze performance of a hypothetical rigid wing hang glider I went with XFLR5. That isn't a perfect tool by any means either but its algorithms should be miles ahead of X-Plane. Though of course you can't actually fly the plane in XFLR5, just do the math.

That's a barrier to entry that's pretty high for somebody who may want to be a first-time contributor.

I think that's actually a good thing. The person has to be interested enough to setup and learn about plain text email. Its not discrimination based on race, religion or gender identity but discrimination based on interest.

Even simple barriers to entry have positive effects. I found that the quality of bug reports on Gitlab is much higher than on Github because everyone has a Github account and will happily spam a project with a lazy bug report (me included).

I multiboot Windows 10 Pro and a variety of Unixen. Been doing it for decades and it's been getting harder lately because Microsoft's updates have been acting more and more like they own the place.

The most recent nag-you-to-use-edge update didn't just forget to restore the defaultness of my Arch EFI entry--a mistake I could forgive--it deleted it. Luckily I could boot into Debian and restore the entry because the asshats at Microsoft didn't expect there to be a second Linux lying around.

Also, it somehow discovered that I'm not I'm Greenwich, and changed my hardware clock to local time (thereby confusing the other OS'es).

Not sure what telemetry mattnewton was talking about, but I can confirm that in general, Microsoft updates are not to be trusted.

I just booted Windows for the first time this month earlier this evening. Saw it installing updates when I shut it down. God knows what messes I'll be cleaning up in the morning.
This is the standard heuristic parents use so you are not alone. Interestingly it seems to cause names to go in cycles. Every generation has their own popular names. You end up picking a name that is not common in your parents or in your own generation, because there is always a dickhead with the common ones. If I remember right first names go in around 60-year cycles.
D3 started out as an academic project and Vega/Vega-Lite come from the same lab. Also, while Vega does not generate D3 code (Vega is a declarative visualization language and reactive runtime), it uses the D3 libraries internally and is heavily inspired by some of the core principles (e.g. data join).
