Then I have one counter point of anecdata for you:

I knew no one that was openly proficient in Vim when I picked it up. In my studies, I was already one of the two to three odd-one-outs who used Linux (>90% of students and professors didn't know anything besides Windows).

I bought an ARM-based chromebook, installed crouton and... quickly discovered, that nothing besides Vim/Emacs came pre-built for it. There even wasn't a simple, official way to build Electron (so all those editors weren't an option, either)!

So you could say, I only picked them up (I tried both) reluctantly. And I stuck to Vim-bindings because all other alternatives I know suck in comparison. The best I knew beforehand w.r.t flexibility was Sublime Text with its multiple cursors and regex searches, but that also pales when compared to Vim macros.

Make of that what you will. I'm certain your point about mentors isn't wrong, but it doesn't explain it all, too.

Also, if anyone could point me to similarly promising editing schemes, I'd be glad to have a look at them :)
I think you can browse the papers via the libgen interface: http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
It's alright man, he's only doing this for fun. His videos are more valuable than his snark IMO.
> I used vim for some time could never really get into it. The benefits that it offers over other simple code editors like TextMate isn't really worth the learnign curve.

If you care about user privacy, you don't upload stuff from the user side, you download the list of trusted&untrusted certificates to the user's machine and take the decision there.

This is how antiviruses have always worked, without affecting user privacy (of course, most antiviruses also did other things that DID affect user privacy, but malware detection at least worked perfectly fine without it).
Are you using the actual upstream or NCS?
I was a heroin addict for five years and I got clean around this time two years ago. This is always a difficult time of year for me: my father died around this time when I was 12-years-old; I live in the northern latitudes so it's dark all the time; and since it's around the time I got clean I start getting bad cravings again.

I want to buy a smart trainer for my bike but they're all sold out at the moment. I'm too scared to ride on the roads at this time of year: it's permanent twilight, the roads are always wet which disguises potholes, and there are dead leaves everywhere.

I know that exercise really helps, so I hope I can get that smart trainer soon. I've been going for short walks but I really need that kind of exercise that leaves you struggling to think afterwards.
https://kakoune.org/ is a vim variation which I think would be much better pedagogically. More predictable, and much more help and feedback as you edit.
The citizens here in the US do not appear to be interested in “nuanced views” at the moment.
VLC and Qt – A History [video]
I work at a trading company on builds and developer productivity. vi is known by all 600+ people that touch code or admin systems as a baseline. I think we mention the basics in our dev school. If you need to edit somewhere outside your personal host, your choices are basically ed/vi. IntelliJ dominates Java development at well over 90%. CLion is what we teach for C++, but it's roughly 50% CLion, 30% vim, 10% Emacs, and 10% other (vscode mostly, but I've seen basically everything). I'm not sure of our Python breakdown, but I suspect IPython Notebooks/Jupyter dominates everything. For random edits, I see about 50% vi, 40% vscode/sublime, 10% emacs.
Until recently, I was.

Every day before going to work I had anxiety. My workplace was extremly toxic, people talking behind each others back etc.

I got home and instead of hanging out with my gf and 6 months baby I escaped into video games, or news.
For some reason, I blamed my family for my shitty life, and where mean to my gf.

I used to read a lot of books and be interested in a lot of stuff before, but the recent years all I have had energy for has been to browse my normal time killing websites. In my mind, the reason for this was that I was getting older (just turned 35).

Anyway, a while ago I got a "moment of clarity" that I just had to change my current path or give up completely and start drinking or something. I quit my job without having a new job. The first week after quitting nothing changed really, but week 2 then things really started to happen. The heavy anxiety in my stomach dissapeared. This in turn enabled me to do more stuff.

Another thing I did was deleting my Facebook account. I have been wanting to do that for years, but I have always resisted since I would then lose my way of communicating with a lot of "friends". Anyway, after a few days of that, I somehow felt that my head felt clearer. I was no longer filled with other peoples bullshit thoughts.

Inspired by this, I stopped reading newspapers online and started buying paper versions instead. That also had a positive impact on me.

My relationship with my family got sooooo much better. I started to having long conversation with my gf, something I realized I had barely had for a lot of time. Also, I started to feel all these feelings when being with my kid, and I am so happy that I now can be in the moment with her.

In two weeks I will start my new job. I don't know how it will be, but I know that if it sucks, I will talk about it with my gf instead of escaping into the internet.
I don't think your take is wrong. I have yet to see any actual argument from the vim/emacs crowd. I'm genuinely curious about what makes them defend their editor choice that heavily but whenever I ask them for their reasons all I get is a "modal editing is great because modal editing is great".

I can somewhat understand "don't have to touch the mouse" as that's a personal preference for them (even though IDEs have key binds too, I think they blow up that argument way too much) but on anything else they are suspiciously silent. Maybe I have just not met the right people to ask but that's my personal experience. Anyone I know using vim only does it because they either have been using it for 40 years or have been told to use it by someone from the first group and don't know anything else.
Whatever the origins, we still have to remember that in the country where SARS-CoV-2 first appeared there was cessation of domestic flights while international ones were not curtailed in the slightest. Everybody can draw their own conclusions.
So are you claiming that Clinton's suggestion that we wait until absentee ballots are included before letting someone claim victory is "disputing ... democracy", or are you trying to change the subject to something else?
If you could replicate that would be very interesting since a single datapoint doesn't say much.

Brand new oneplus 8T and I was getting ~1 day of battery life with about 3-4 hours of use. I never enabled any google services and that was the default configuration.

I went app permissions and disabled everything that I was able to disable. The only apps that had default permissions always enabled were google services. The battery day is now ~2 days with slightly heavier use and the display running at 120Hz instead of the default 60Hz.
My depression started in the summer of last year because of health problems. My leg hurt from the knee up and I could not move properly. I did not leave the apartment for 2 weeks when it started. Not being able to move properly was a really bad experience for me, especially psychologically. I got sent from doctor to doctor, nobody knowing who to do with me. Later I started physical therapy, I do not think it helped, just the problem was slowly going away. It came back around Christmas making it the worse Christmas of my life. At least I was able to travel to my home country to visit my parents and the family. I started going to doctors again but the covid-19 hit and they all stopped seeing non critical patients. I basically turned to my own research about the problem, reading articles, watching videos about specific exercises, etc.

The travel restrictions because of covid-19 also meant I could not travel home, even if it is a neighboring country. I usually got every 2-3 months, it took 7 months to get there. I was planning a wedding with my girlfriend, in my home country, but all the plans got busted with the restrictions, but we were able to get a September slot for a small wedding. 2 weeks before the wedding my grandma died. My grandpa did not take it well, still is not taking it well, i am a bit afraid of him, that he is loosing the will to live. We buried my grandma a day before the wedding.

The back from my home country just missing another travel restrictions and back to dealing with the health issues. At the same time I decided to quite my job. I have been hating it for a while, because of a borderline abusive boss. He made a few good people leave the company and here was no way to replace him as he was also the owner. Fed up with everything, but I guess mostly my health issues affecting me daily I decided to quit. I found a company that looked cool, went to 5 rounds of interviews. At the end I had some doubts about the job, but I guess I just really wanted to leave the current job so I accepted.

I started the new job now in November and it sucks. It is an environment that makes me depressed, seeing all the broken stuff and chaos, unable to make a difference. I want to quite again, but I do not know where to go. I guess I have just too specific recommendations that are not easily fulfilled by not wanting to be some small cog in a corporate machine.

And I will not be able to travel home for Christmas because of the current covid-19 situation, will be first Christmas away from the family. But with a new family I guess.
On my system:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8.9K Jan 1 2020 Info.plist

⇒ I think this requires root. That, IMO, would make it less of an issue (maybe even a good thing, given the complaints people have about Apple not giving them control over their hardware)
It’s pretty nice here in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico!
I had to look up GWOT: Global War On Terror
Same, I have never seen anyone else IRL using vi[m]. It mostly started for me due to my potato machine and I like to live in the terminal.

But I have not switched to emacs(evil mode ofc.) due to mostly philosophical differences and i completely just hate the defaults..
Metadata retention has already been repeatedly abused, including by police and intelligence who use it to spy on girlfriends and random civilians. I don't hear any parties talking about it (because they don't care and issued full-throated endorsements of the practices).

In Australia, both parties sell you down a river and tell you they're the best party because of some irrelevant policy minutiae, meanwhile supporting war crimes and the evisceration of the IT industry and our rights.
Will this outlast voat or gab? The site is horrific function and design wise

No videos, give me some text reporting. Which lawsuits have (a) submitted evidence and (b) not had it thrown out?

That doesn't accurately describe Trump's comments. This wasn't some onetime only type of comment. Remember when he said a US judge couldn't rule on a case where Trump was losing, because the judge was of hispanic origin. That's another racist comment. Trump has continually made these types of comments, made references to shithole countries. You can't just dismiss that with a claim that he was saying something else, because his comments were part of a long standing sequence.
5) Generally speaking, uploading unaltered documents is a great way to burn your source, since both printed and digital copies of documents can be easily fingerprinted.

Massive one-time dumps like Chelsea Manning's or Edward Snowden's are not the norm when it comes to leaks; leakers often stay at their position for quite some time, and journalists have every incentive to protect their ability to get inside information
What happened to gab? I saw the last generation of frog-emoji posters move over there and now it seems irrelevant.
You say this as if it was ever the case in pre-modern media either.
Still mostly right, just adding on more than anything.

France had the smaller role, but the Sykes-Picot agreement is too key to completely ignore them.
They have used security features of their OSs to ban developers who were simply in breach of contract with Apple, but not distributing malware or any other kind of content harmful to users.

Sure, Apple was completely in the right to stop distributing Epic software after they breached their contract with Apple. But Epic didn't breach any contract with their users, so there was no reason to remove Epic's software from user devices, or affect companies redistributing Epic software. Those are obvious overreach.
They are legally required to. It works the same way on YouTube. If you are a host you are legally required to immediately take the content down and forward the DMCA claim to the accused. The accused can then file a counter-claim and the content will be re-instated, after which the initial filing party may choose to not pursue or decide to take the accused to the court.
>It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong.

It would probably be a terrible place to live physically, but not necessarily a terrible place to visit online. Places such as the ones SSC refers to are terrible places to visit for people who get deeply emotionally hurt when they see hateful discourse and for people who lack the skill of filtering low-value content in search of high-value content. However, both the skill of being unaffected by hateful discourse and the skill of rapidly finding high-value content in an ocean of low-value content can be learned. I think that learning those skills is worthwhile because in strongly free speech areas, one can often find high-value content that is difficult or impossible to find in thought-policed places.
What stops a Linux program altering the system? I guess you need root access to change things outside of /usr/local this could easily be done on macOS too but the wheel had to be reinvented by Apple in a way that is probably less trustworthy.
This article is satire, right? (non native speaker here)
Observation from Germany: A couple of years ago I wouldn't bring my own cup, because I was uncomfortable with having conversations about it.

This has changed, because it's now prevalent enough that I'd consider it "not unusual" to have my own cup. Also plenty of places now offer small discounts. I'm not doing it for the discounts, but that of course adds to the normalization. (Also: Covid makes things more complicated and I've been wary of using my reusable cup once again, though I also massively reduced my coffee-not-at-home-consumption, and after all that'll be over at some point.)
Nobody is “disputing democracy” at this point. Bush vs Gore took an entire month to sort out.

Hillary said this might drag out for a while... and she was right, it is. That’s fine. We have a process for this; no need to be melodramatic.

Biden has almost assuredly won, but first there will be some court cases and recounts simply because it was extremely close. That’s a good thing for Democracy.
Maybe there is a bizzare reason why they don't use https on their ocsp endpoint. Perhaps they want to avoid situation where the ocsp server's certificate itself is revoked, or anticipated that the ocsp server would still be in use 10 years later where the currently used crypto could have been marked as insecure and removed and thus prevent older clients from working. Or it could be laziness, but come on...
'Data Science' is a secular shift in how companies work, not cyclical.

It's a 'new kind of job' that's going to be here for the foreseeable future.

While competition might increase for jobs, the number of jobs is likely only grow over time.
The original story came from a French newspaper lepoint [1] which then was picked up by ft [2].

Google proposed an alliance between booking.com, zal, ubisoft, carrefour,... to launch an advertising campaign to weaken the position of European lawmakers.

The most alarming piece of google's "DSA 60-day plan update" presentation is that they also wanted to mobilise the US government to lobby against it via trade representative offices and embassies.

The free market always creates unsustainable rates of consumption while the resources are still readily available.

But I have a pretty dark view on our global societys future as well with the negative synergies between the climate crisis, the ongoing automation effort for less skilled work and the refugees that will be out of a home with the rising sea levels... Let's just say I'm glad Ill likely be dead before it becomes too much of an issue.
no arcing ?
That's pretty cool. How much is that? "Costa Coffee" (a UK chain) machines are in lots of petrol stations nowadays, but I'm not aware of any kind of subscription.
A quick leaf through the ads in the National Review (back when I would occasionally happen across a paper copy) yielded a pretty good indication that right-wing stuff usually comes with a fairly good serving of grift.

And that was in a kinder, gentler age, when more of the arguments were about tax policy and the political management of South and Central America. In today's considerably more polarized era...

In an amazing coincidence, people who believe that masks have 5G chips in them to allow Soros/Gates to perform mind control (or is it via the chemtrails?) and that climate change scientists are being manipulated by Big Solar turn out to be easy to sell things to. Who would have thunk it?

Literally 10 seconds in DuckDuckGo. Notice that where lawsuits are rejected they are mostly rejected over lack of standing, and will be re-filed elsewhere with stronger evidence, or dropped outright due to insufficient evidence. This is what the legal system is for - to establish the veracity of claims, and obtain relief when due. Still more lawsuits will be filed next week. The current crop are just the small fry ones that could be filed quickly.

None of this constitutes "overturning democracy" in any shape or form.

I do recommend that you watch the video though.
As a Jewish person I’d say that none of this political polarization is beneficial for us. It’s not that one side has intrinsically safer qualities for Jews.

With the work of ADL and many prominent Jewish figures in the past century, anti-semitism had kind of a special status where it’s taboo even when it’s very nuanced, on both the left and right sides of the aisle.

It’s drowning in the cultural discourse now. When 70 million voters are labeled “racist” - or at least supporting “racist policies” - the word loses its deterrence altogether.
The law forbids knowingly making false and defamatory statements that could lead to persecution of the accused person.

So for example, you can't accuse someone of being a rapist, for example, if you know that the accusation is not true.

Similarly, you can't accuse a politician of being corrupt just because you don't like them if you don't have any reason to believe that your accusation is true.

But it's absolutely allowed to publically insult a politician. And you also have the right to call a politician corrupt if you have a reason to believe that they are.

For example, I know that calling our former finance minister a corrupt self-serving asshole is not going to get me into trouble because there have been multiple news reports about him taking bribes.

I think for Americans it's just hard to believe that we don't protect made up lies as "free speech" around here.
I think the idea here is more into logically thinking in a critical manner, and in the last few years especially due to wikileaks, some of your worst nightmares are real AF, and then Epstein happened.
Twitter spent a long time trying not to take action against posters, for all kinds of abuse and libel. What happened is that finally the endless lying hit a subject which personally mattered to those running the companies.

I'm sure they do want a forum to express their views and claim they're silenced. But they need to stop and think about why everyone else has deemed them so toxic.
It's not the site, it's the zealots. Rustafarians, anti-Muskers, note-takers, NY Times 'submarine fans' and supplementary *calciferol proponents have more or less hacked Hacker News post visibility algorithms.
Sure, add it to /etc/hosts, ds flush, done. Everyone knew that half an hour into the event, thanks to lap’s tweet, and some knew it years prior to the outage, too.

Or if the loss of Mac App Store access that results bothers you, write a simple http filter proxy that only rejects gatekeeper OCSP and place it into your Network preferences Proxy section.

macOS won’t stop you. This is all basic decades-old Linux admin knowledge, and the only Mac-specific command is know how to flush the DNS resolver cache without rebooting. I am not yet persuaded of your argument.

What other specific instances do you know of where you think macOS won’t let you do something to your own device?
> The "suffering" has honestly been overblown by jokes about not being able to quit on one side and the mythologizing of the leet ninja 10x programmer who is only bound by his typing speed and can't waste time reaching for the mouse, on the other side.

I don’t think it’s all overblown.
With a GUI editor if you’re not efficient with it you can fall back to using a mouse until you know enough shortcuts. With vim if you don’t know enough of the controls for even basic navigation you can’t do much, the learning curve will always be steeper, and some people don’t want to go through that even if it pays off in the end.
Freedom is hard, and thingsbcosts money if you're not willing to put willpower - more news at 11

Jokes aside you don't have to do it if you're scared, and if you want to try you can always switch back and forth between machines / OSs so you use the most suited environment according to the limits of context and the job you need to do.

Much like you can aim at 0% environment pollution by gradually removing excess stuff instead of going full off the grid, you don't have to do a radical move. Use the tools you need for the job, aiming at result production while keeping a liquid approach.

Depending on your skills, willpower, effort, and willingness to abandon uninventive corporations you can be faster and more efficient. You're just not feeling comfortable investing time and effort, which is a sacred choice.

Please consider that things have changed since 2019, VMs support of tablets and color grading tools are a breeze and using tools that your competitors are scared to use will make you innovative. Godspeed~
Extremely valid point, I'd consider this close to table stakes.

Also, in some more "interesting" settings there's also exploit-loaded documents to be aware of, here's from a leak I've been following lately:

> If you really want to open a Word document from Psy-Group, please go ahead, knock yourself out. Below are the links to the Word document as well as the email. Just remember that Mr. [...] mistake might have been opening a Word file from Psy-Group in the first place…

I took the liberty to remove the name as I guess that particular guy is probably suffering enough at the moment.
A year ago, a Chrome update (its Keystone auto-update agent) corrupted system files in Macs which had SIP disabled [1]. The result was that they didn't boot anymore. Mac users who had SIP enabled were not affected.

I won't disable SIP and I'll avoid installing Google Chrome on my new Macs, if possible.
